Tiantang Splendid

4390 - Standing in line must be accurate
Hearing Cheng Yaojin's order, Niu Jinda was astonished and puzzled: "What are we going to Xianyang Bridge for? If we intend to serve His Majesty, shouldn't we immediately enter Mingde Gate to suppress the rebellion?"

If Emperor Taizong was still there, and Cheng Yaojin planned to rebel, Niu Jinda would never obey, and would even turn against Cheng Yaojin and help Emperor Taizong cut off the traitor; but now Emperor Taizong has passed away, and the "Emperor Renhe" who has ascended the throne Li Chengqian is still far from being able to make Niu Jinda follow him to the death.

So it doesn't matter to Niu Jinda whether he stands in line for King Jin or is loyal to His Majesty. They are both the sons of Emperor Taizong. What difference does it make who is the emperor?He didn't bother to think about the pros and cons, he just followed Cheng Yaojin, and he did what Cheng Yaojin said.

Now Cheng Yaojin ordered the whole army to withdraw and rush to Xianyang Bridge, obviously not to get involved in King Jin's mutiny, and to serve the emperor, but since he is loyal to the emperor, why not enter the city from Mingde Gate to help His Majesty wipe out the rebels?
The Xianyang Bridge is dozens of miles away from Chang'an, what can be done there...

Cheng Yaojin was very annoyed by the noise of this stubborn bull, and said angrily: "If we want to be loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty must trust us! Why don't you go and ask Xue Wanche, who is under Mingde's sect, to enter the city by way and see if he cares? care about you?"

Niu Jinda was speechless for a while, and complained: "You deserve it! Who made you double-faced and scheming before? It's no wonder that people can trust you if you have a proper image of a treacherous minister!"

"Mother! It seems that you are not a general of Lao Tzu. I am a traitor and you can still be a good person?"

Cheng Yaojin was so angry that he had never seen anyone scolding himself, this stupid cow!

Niu Jinda was not annoyed, but he still didn't understand: "Why did he suddenly choose to be loyal to His Majesty? This heavy rain has severely restricted firearms, and the combat power of the Right Guards has been greatly reduced. It may not be Yu Chigong and Li Daozong. Opponent, the possibility of the Hall of Martial Virtue being captured is very high."

"Are you really stupid? Even if the right guard has no firearms, he is still the most powerful army in the world! If Yu Chigong thinks that the right guard has no firearms, he will be cowardly, and he will have his big teeth broken! Your Majesty! So they are always passive because of lack of troops... But is it really lack of troops?"

"...It doesn't seem to be the case either. The Six Commanders of the East Palace outside Chunming Gate, together with Xue Wanche's Youwuwei, Zheng Rentai's private army of the Zheng family, and Liu Rengui's naval force...however there are 7 to [-] people, and most of them They are all elite, not necessarily inferior to King Jin's troops."

Niu Jinda thought for a while and came up with such an answer.

Cheng Yaojin said in a deep voice: "The reason why Xue Wanche and Zheng Rentai dare not enter the city to put down the rebellion is because we are here, and they don't feel relieved to hand over their backs to us. Li Jing wants to be on guard against all the clans and garrisons in Guanzhong waiting for an opportunity to come to Chang'an for support. King Jin dare not enter the city..."

"I see!"

Speaking of this, Niu Jinda suddenly realized: "We moved to Xianyang Bridge to block the way to Chang'an for the clans and garrisons in Guanzhong and Longxi. Even if we liberate Li Jing, Xue Wanche and Zheng Rentai can enter the city through Mingde Gate without worrying Worried about raids from behind."

Just move the troops to Xianyang Bridge, and liberate several troops loyal to the emperor, so that they can enter the city to suppress the rebellion and make up for the shortage of Youtun Guards.

Expressing allegiance to His Majesty in this way, by the way, can be regarded as a great achievement...

"High! It's really high!"

Niu Jinda raised his thumbs up and praised repeatedly, completely convinced.

Cheng Yaojin: "..."

Why doesn't it sound like a good thing?
Niu Jinda said, "Should we wait for the rain to subside before we set off?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, and said, "It's not too late to stand in line, the most important thing is to be accurate! Now that it's decided, what are you waiting for? Send the order and set off in the rain to head for Xianyang Bridge."

"Here!"

Niu Jinda took the order, immediately put on his coir raincoat and walked out of the awning, called the nearby captains and scouts to him, and conveyed the military order.

The lieutenants and scouts braved the rain to convey the order to the armies, and tens of thousands of horses began to gather slowly in the heavy rain.

This abnormal behavior immediately attracted the attention of Xue Wanche, who was sitting in Mingdemen, and Zheng Rentai, who was recuperating in the Anhuamen area...

At the moment, the whole of Chang'an has almost become a huge battlefield. Not only is the Taiji Palace blazing with life and death fighting, but also the rebels are everywhere in Chang'an City, fighting everywhere. It has aroused the attention of all parties, let alone such a large-scale gathering of Zuo Wuwei?
Xue Wanche immediately ordered the troops to shrink, and the city was waiting in full battle. He was about to send scouts to investigate Zuo Wuwei's movements. A school lieutenant came to report: "Commander, Zuo Wuwei sent people to say that Lu Guogong assembled troops to rush to Xianyang Bridge. , protect the safety of the west side of Chang'an, and block the rebels who may invade."

Xue Wanche stroked his beard and knit his eyebrows together, and said in surprise: "Is this old thief planning to completely abandon King Jin and pledge allegiance to His Majesty?"

Naturally, no one can answer this question. After all, Cheng Yaojin has been swaying left and right and jumping repeatedly between His Majesty and King Jin since the time when King Jin raised his troops. Withdrawing from the Chang'an battlefield and rushing to Xianyang Bridge, it is still too early to believe that he is completely loyal to His Majesty.

In case Cheng Yaojin is still half-hearted, who can take this responsibility?
Xue Wanche is stupid, but not stupid. After pondering for a while, he ordered: "The whole army will stick to the Mingde Gate. Without the order of the commander, everyone is not allowed to leave their posts. If there is any violation, the military law will be followed! In addition, Send people to follow Zuo Wuwei, report back immediately if there is any change, and see if he is going to Xianyang Bridge!"

Normally speaking, Cheng Yaojin's move was obviously to relieve Xue, Liu, and Zheng's fear of him, so he voluntarily withdrew so that Xue and Zheng could lead troops into the city to cooperate with Liu Rengui and reinforce Taiji Palace.

But the ghost knows whether Cheng Yaojin will suddenly kill a carbine after Xue and Zheng's main force enter the city, capture Mingde Gate and cut off the retreat of Xue, Liu, and Zheng, causing the army to fall into a dilemma in Chang'an City?

Knowing that he was not good at strategy, Xue Wanche didn't dare to bet on Cheng Yaojin's true intentions, so he could only adopt the safest method to monitor Cheng Yaojin, and never act rashly before he arrived at Xianyang Bridge to set up camp.

This may delay the opportunity of the battle, and it is impossible to enter the city to reinforce the Taiji Palace this morning, but the victory is safe, so that the situation will not be further collapsed by accidents...

Zheng Rentai outside the Anhua Gate also paid attention to Zuo Wuwei's change, and at the same time received Cheng Yaojin's notice, and decided to stand still after pondering for a while, and at the same time sent someone to contact Xue Wanche, expressing that he would obey Xue Wanche's command and never make his own decisions .

He knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible for him to gain great merit as a "surrendered general". If he dared to lead an army into the city from Anhuamen now, Xue Wanche would dare to lead an army to wipe him out completely. Enter the city and assist the rebels", the remaining private army of the Zheng family in Xingyang will not only destroy the entire army, but also lead to the liquidation of the entire family.

As for what Cheng Yaojin intends to do...what does he have to do with Zheng Rentai?

He only needs to obey Xue Wanche's orders honestly, if he is asked to repair outside the city, he will repair outside the city, if he is allowed to enter the city, he will enter the city, and he will never pretend to be smart or make his own decisions.

What's more, the heavy rain caused the firearms of Youtunwei to fail, and the combat power was greatly reduced. In the end, the outcome of this mutiny was so confusing that anything could happen. A one-hit chance...

Under the heavy rain, the stagnant water becomes a stream, and people's hearts are also floating, sinking, tossing and turning in the flow of blood and rain.

*****
On Tianjie, under the heavy rain, the fighting situation was extremely tragic.

The Modao team wears heavy armor and sharp steel knives. Although the entire team is small in number, they are well-trained, and each of them is one of a hundred strong and skilled fighters. They advance and retreat with a tacit understanding. Entering like a wall, with a blade like a forest, people and horses are smashed under the swing of Mo Dao, unrivaled.

At this moment, the Shandong private army also realized that if they lose this battle, it is not just a matter of surrender or not, but that these Shandong children may never return to their hometown, never see their parents, wives and children again, and have no time to complain about being blamed by others. The head of the family drove to this pass to work hard, only thinking about defeating the fierce enemy in front of him, and blazing a bloody way home.

Under desperation, the bloody Shandong children, with red eyes, charged again and again in the face of the Mo Dao that was advancing like a wall. They rushed up and faced the enemy's blades, until their bodies were cut to pieces by the sharp Mo Dao, one team after another endlessly.

Cui Xin looked at the tragic battlefield in front of him. Countless Shandong men regarded death as home, leaving behind corpses all over Tianjie and blood overflowing everywhere.

In any case, he, Cui Xin, will become the sinner of the entire Shandong. He is the one who buried the entire generation of Shandong in the Guanzhong thousands of miles away for the so-called glory of the family. Urging them to go forward and send them to the enemy's knife.

However, even so, it still cannot shake the oncoming navy troops at all...

The tide-like Shandong private army marched forward bravely, constantly falling under the Modao, but they were still unable to break through the formation of the Modao formation; although the Modao team was elite and murderous like hemp, but facing the countless Shandong private army After all, when you are tired, the Mo Dao is long and heavy, and with the heavy armor on your body, each Mo Dao hand bears a huge burden, killing with numbness and sore limbs. The two sides are fighting vigorously on this long street. Fighting against each other, staged the most tragic battle in the entire war of Jin Wang's mutiny.

On the tall tower of Chengtian Gate, Jin Wang Li Zhi held the arrow stack in his hand and watched the tragic fight on Tianjie, his eyes were beating uncontrollably and his heart was heavy and breathless like a lead pendant.

The heavy rain has greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of Fang Jun's direct troops, but when will the battle end?
