Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4415 Dilemma
Yin Yuan picked up the horizontal knife again, stared wide-eyed, and shouted sharply: "Everyone, whether the Zuohouwei can be rebuilt, whether the Yin family in Liquan can be preserved, whether my family members and I can be spared, and whether the future can be smooth, all depend on this moment. war!"

The horizontal knife was raised horizontally, and the tip of the knife pointed at the thousands of troops who were withdrawing from the center of the battlefield and heading west: "There are still some strength, come forward and kill with me, and change your fate in one fell swoop!"

Gritting his teeth, he rushed towards the enemy first.

The soldiers behind me and the beginning of the trilogy have not reacted yet, thinking that the enemy has already been defeated, so why should we continue to work hard?

Even if you risk your life, what effect does it have on the overall situation?
But when Yin Yuan rushed up single-handedly, and the army was getting closer, everyone suddenly became excited, this is a big fish!

A crowd of "stragglers" who were injured all rushed up after Yin Yuan, screaming.

Li Huaiqin was terrified by the cavalry raid led by the prince's left guard, knowing that if he continued to entangle, he would be trapped here and could not escape, so he gritted his teeth cruelly and abandoned the main force that was fighting, and turned his head and ran away with more than a thousand soldiers.

However, just a few steps away, he saw an army among more than a thousand people, but with ragged clothes and almost every wounded army, rushing out from the slanting stabs, stabbing fiercely between his own army, and strangling in an instant place.

Li Huaiqin gathered himself together, and then realized that this is not the remnant of the left guard who has been besieged by him all the time?
Damn!More than [-] people surrounded and fought for a long time. Not only did they not annihilate them, but now they are firmly locked in by them. How did this battle end?

Seeing the Prince Zuowei behind him leading thousands of troops on a rampage, he has cut a bloody path from the broken soldiers and rushed towards him, how could Li Huaiqin dare to love to fight?
He shouted loudly: "Don't get entangled, and quickly evacuate with this king!"

It doesn't matter whether the rest of the people can get away, they rode their horses and galloped westward along the Weishui River. Mei County is his old lair that he has run for many years, and there are thousands of soldiers guarding the barracks.

Yin Yuan, who was in the melee, saw that Li Huaiqin was about to run away, how could he be allowed to escape?Now the Yin family in Liquan has committed a heinous crime because of the previous dispatch of troops. Even if they are willing to stop the rebels with their lives, they may not be forgiven.

He struggled out of the melee, pulled a war horse over and climbed up, the severe pain in his arm made him twitch and sweat profusely, although he knew that such desperate efforts would most likely cause his arm to be disabled, but he didn't care so much, Urging the horse to chase in the direction of Li Huaiqin.

*****
Li Keman led his army to reach the Xuanwu Gate, and launched a fierce attack without resting for a moment. In the heavy rain, tens of thousands of soldiers stood against the arrows and rolling logs falling from the city, and set up ladders to climb up, even though countless soldiers were climbing The process was shot down, and Paoze behind him still kept on half-stepping, continuing to climb bravely.

The number of defenders is small, but the resistance is extremely tenacious. The [-] rebels launched a full-scale attack on Xuanwu Gate and the walls of more than [-] feet on both sides. As a result, the defenders needed to defend too long. The rebels rushed to the top of the city regardless of casualties.

However, the defenders can always mobilize manpower at the first time to attack the rebels on the top of the city head-on. Although the defenders are completely crushed in terms of individual soldier quality, ordnance equipment, and coordinated operations between teams, although they are running around in a panic, Fighting fires everywhere, but always keeping the top of the city, preventing the rebels from opening the gap.

Under the city, Li Keman commanded his soldiers to attack the city, and at the same time paid attention to Li Huaiqin's situation. Seeing that Li Huaiqin was unable to wipe out the small group of left guards, he was very worried and cursed.

The king of the county really stayed in Mei County for too long. He was having fun all day long and didn't think about making progress. As a result, his soldiers and horses were lax in training, and they couldn't fight tough battles at all. The [-] army faced the [-] stragglers of the left guard. It's a great shame to be helpless.

"Master, something is wrong!"

A scout on horseback came from the east, and was soaked even with a coir raincoat to protect him from the rain. When he got up in front of Liu Keman, he got off his horse and knelt down on one knee: "Li Jing has sent Li Dazhi to lead the prince Zuowei to bypass Longshouyuan and go straight. When the Xuanwu Gate came, Li Dazhi led [-] cavalry first, and [-] infantry followed."

Liu Keman gasped.

Among the six ranks in the East Palace, the crown prince's left guard rank is the real first rank, regardless of status, military strength, and combat power, it is the leader of the six ranks. Although the number is only between 8000 and [-], its cavalry is among the elite elite.

Shocked, he asked, "Who is Li Dazhi?"

The scout replied: "The general of the left leader, the son of Li Keshi, the governor of Youzhou, and the nephew of Li Jing."

Liu Keman understands clearly, Li Keshi naturally knows, just like Li Jing stayed aloof and stood by during the change of Xuanwumen, Li Keshi participated in the whole process as the commanding army of the Qin Palace, made outstanding achievements and won the trust of His Majesty Li Er, Youzhou After the general manager Luo Yi's rebellion was wiped out, Li Keshi was ordered by His Majesty Li Er to go to Youzhou and sit in northern Xinjiang.

As the son of Master Li Ke, Li Dazhi followed Li Jing, so he must be expected by the family to be cultivated as the successor of the next generation. Since Li Jing was able to send such a family to the future, he obviously had full confidence in this battle.

As the "Military God" recognized by the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing's strategy is the best in the world, and no one refuses to accept it. Since Li Jing is confident in this battle, as an opponent, Liu Keman naturally feels great pressure and is full of worries about the future.

"Report! Commander-in-Chief, the prince's left guard led [-] cavalry to go west from this point ten miles away. The target is probably Li Huaiqin's troops."

Another scout came in the rain to deliver the latest news.

Upon hearing this, Liu Keman thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and ordered: "The whole army storms Xuanwu Gate, and must capture the city gate before Li Dazhi arrives!"

In his view, although Li Huaiqin was useless and could not even wipe out a mere [-] stragglers, no matter how he had [-] troops, he could still entangle Li Dazhi's [-] cavalry.

Even [-] sheep have to be slaughtered for a while, right?
As long as they can capture the Xuanwu Gate and enter the Taiji Palace before Li Dazhi defeats Li Huaiqin, then the odds of winning this battle will increase by a few points.After entering the Taiji Palace, and attacking Yu Chigong and Li Daozong back and forth, how can the soldiers and horses of the right guard defend against it?
As long as the Wude Palace is captured, the war around Chang'an will come to an end. Regardless of whether Li Chengqian dies or flees, King Jin's ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion. The avatar is attached to the King of Jin, or he can withdraw from Chang'an to find another way to make a living, and the prince Zuowei who is chasing behind him is naturally no longer a threat...

"Here!"

The generals and schools under his command also understand that this is a critical moment. If you go one step further from the meritorious service of the dragon and get promoted to the nobility, you will take a step back and flee in panic and become homeless. Everyone knows how to choose, and naturally they must do their best.

Moreover, the defenders on Xuanwu Gate are limited, and they have climbed to the top of the city many times, and they are only a little short of capturing the city gate. With just a little more effort, they will definitely be able to break into the Taiji Palace, and achieve the feat of stirring up the situation and setting the overall situation. !
The hearts of the officers and men of the whole army were filled with enthusiasm. Many captains and lieutenants even climbed up the city in person. This move naturally boosted the morale of the army and the morale exploded. Extinguish the hot offensive.

However, the tenacity of the defenders of Xuanwu Gate was far beyond Liu Keman's expectations. Although the offensive was fierce, from time to time soldiers climbed up to the top of the city to try to open a gap so that more people could rush up, but they were repelled by the defenders every time. .

Sun Renshi, who was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Fang Jun, personally took his own soldiers to act as "firefighters", and rushed to wherever there was danger, relying on heavy armor to repel the enemy from the top of the city, and then rushed to the next place.

Sun Renshi understands that once the Xuanwu Gate falls, the rebel army will rush into the Taiji Palace and attack the Wude Palace. Fang Jun will face the situation of being attacked from the front and back. .

Even if he dies, he must die on this Xuanwu Gate, preventing the rebels from stepping into the Taiji Palace!
Liu Keman, who was in the city, saw that the battle was not going well, and he was unable to capture the Xuanwu Gate despite the huge casualties.

However, in less than half an hour, a scout galloped over, turned over from the horse when he got close, but because he didn't let go of the horse's forward momentum, he rolled into the muddy water, rolled a few times before standing up, Wiping the mud off his face, he said in a panic, "Commander, Li Huaiqin... lost!"

Liu Keman's whole body was shocked, as if struck by lightning, his eyes widened in disbelief and he said, "Defeated?!"

He naturally didn't think that Li Huaiqin could defeat the Prince Zuowei led by Li Dazhi, but the two armies should persist for a period of time anyway, because as long as his side captured the Xuanwu Gate and entered the Taiji Palace, Li Dazhi would definitely lead his troops forward Come to intercept, it is impossible to keep biting Li Huaiqin.

So for Li Huaiqin, the only way out is to persevere, and once defeated, he will be hunted down by Li Dazhi, and the entire army may be wiped out...

However, Li Huaiqin was still defeated, not even being able to persist for half an hour.

The scout said anxiously: "The prince's left guard led [-] cavalry to charge in a roundabout way, going back and forth. Li Huaiqin couldn't hold on, and led his troops to abandon the main force and fled westward. The morale of the army collapsed and the whole army collapsed. It was a crushing defeat!"

"Mother! This kind of people who are greedy for life and fear of death dare to pretend to be the royal family? It's really embarrassing for the ancestors of the Li family in Longxi!"

Li Huaiqin was furious and cursed, now he was faced with a dilemma: should he retreat before the prince's left guard arrived so as not to be blocked by the Xuanwu gate, or grit his teeth and take a gamble that he could win the prince's left guard Before the guard arrives, take the first step to capture the Xuanwu Gate?
