Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4419 Battle Night (Continued)

Countless rebels launched a tidal attack on Wude Hall. Cui Xin led the Shandong private army to retreat to Chengtian Gate, and all the troops that originally occupied Chengtian Gate entered Taiji Palace and attacked Wude Hall.

Put all their eggs in one basket and complete their merits in one battle. I don't want Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman to be able to capture the Xuanwu Gate, as long as they can hold back the Six Rates of the East Palace and You Wuwei outside the Xuanwu Gate, and buy enough time for Yu Chigong and Li Daozong .

This is a decisive battle, we must do our best, and we must not take any chances.

Li Zhi stood in front of the window of Zhaode Hall with his hands behind his back, watching the heavy rain pouring out of the window, and the night wind blowing water vapor into the hall, making him feel clammy and excited.

There were dense fighting sounds in the ears, and the hands behind his back trembled slightly, showing the tension and excitement in Li Zhi's heart.

Life and death, success or failure, in this battle.

Xiao Yu behind him sat on the side of the desk, and said worriedly: "The princess and the son are all in the palace, but I don't know where the palace lives. If the situation gets out of control, the entire Taiji Palace will be razed to the ground under the attack of the chaos. The world is in danger."

Li Zhi's heart tightened.

He knew that his elder brother who showed his "benevolence" would definitely not harm his family, but if rebels attacked Taiji Palace, there would be a danger of losing control.He didn't care much about the princess. The Wang family of Taiyuan didn't give him much help in the process of raising troops this time. "As a concubine, if she can be given the position of "Queen" directly, the Shandong family must be even more determined to her.

But no matter how hard he is under the policy of achieving greatness at all costs, he can't be indifferent to his children...

Cui Xin, who just came from Chengtianmen to report the battle situation in the city, stroked his beard, and said calmly: "Now the Taiji Palace is in turmoil, even though His Highness is worried about his family members, there is nothing he can do. I believe that there is only heaven for auspicious people, so there is no need to worry too much."

If the concubine Jin really died under the military disaster, it would be an excellent opportunity for the Shandong family. At that time, he would choose a daughter-in-law of the Cui family to marry the concubine of Jin Wang, and even become the empress in the future. Regardless of whether King Jin agrees or not, this matter must be confirmed. This is the most in line with the interests of the Shandong family.

If King Jin's eldest son also died in this battle, it would be a godsend.

It is absolutely impossible to let the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River intercept the fruits of victory...

Li Zhi's mind is so clear that he already has a clear understanding of the careful thoughts of his courtiers, but he is indifferent.

A month ago, he humbly pretended to be a docile younger brother in front of Li Chengqian, but today, he has led an army of [-] to attack Chang'an, and even entered the Taiji Palace, only one step away from the center of the empire.

As for the resulting misery in Guanzhong, the destabilization of the country, and the subsequent adverse impact on the inheritance and foundation of the empire, he ignored it.

Which one of the high-ranking people since ancient times has not stepped on the world and is heartless, with blood flowing in rivers and bones on the road to success?
As long as you can win, all the sacrifices are worth it.

If you can't win...why care?

Jiangshan Sheji can still be used as a stepping stone for oneself, let alone a wife and children?

When Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, was hunted down by the Chu army, he pushed his children off the carriage with his own hands, but who will blame him for this after that?
For the superior, morality is the appearance, but it is also the least important.

Stamping only judges heroes by success or failure!
Taking a deep breath of the cold and humid air, Li Zhichen clenched his fists behind his back with a firm expression: "The false emperor disregarded the emperor's favor and stole the great treasure. The country, of course, should not be afraid of hardships and dangers, carry forward the past and open up the future, even if the body is broken, it will not hesitate!"

I don't even care about my own life and death, how can everything else affect my mind?

Xiao Yu, Chu Suiliang, Cui Xin and the others behind them were silent, thinking that His Royal Highness Prince Jin's "carrying on the past and opening up the future" is really good. Back then, Emperor Taizong launched the Xuanwumen Change to kill brothers and brothers to ascend to the throne, and you are leaving now. Follow the same path...

*****
The majestic Wude Hall stands tall and majestic in the rainy night, and the nearby palaces form a huge group, row upon row, with continuous houses, which complement each other with the palaces near the Taiji Hall, and the luxury and majesty are not inferior .

However, under the torrential rain, countless rebels risked their lives to launch a tide-like offensive. This palace, which represents the center of the empire at present, is like a flat boat in the rushing river. Accidentally fell apart, subverted and sunk...

Although the defenders dominated by the right guards are more elite and their defenses are extremely tough, they have suffered heavy losses in the face of the rebels who are almost using appointments to fill them in. They retreated steadily under such a fierce offensive. The positions outside the palace wall were lost, and the defense line was gradually compressed.
In just half an hour, the battle line was advanced to the palace gates such as Wude Gate and Qianhua Gate. Above this line of defense, blood donations and rainwater gathered to form a stream overflowing, corpses piled up under the palace wall, and the battle was extremely tragic.

Although the soldiers of the Right Guards are brave, they cannot fully utilize their firearms, and they have to face repeated onslaughts by rebels several times larger than themselves. The soldiers are exhausted and will be exhausted, and they are completely suppressed by the rebels. The last line of defense at the palace gate is in jeopardy .

Yu Chigong stood on the battlefield and looked at Wudemen in front, touched the rainwater on his face, and said to Li Daozong beside him: "The defenders are retreating steadily, and now the city is broken in just a snap of the fingers, but the guards on the right The reserve team still hasn't shown up, the king of the county thinks that Fang Er has no energy left so he didn't save it for emergencies, or the reserve team is just behind this city gate and may break out at any time?"

This battle has been fought until now, and Youtunwei is almost certain to lose, but there has never been a reserve team to fill the vacancy in the defense line. This makes Yu Chigong have to wonder if Fang Jun has left a reserve team?
If so, Fang Jun's heart is really as firm as a rock if he still doesn't release the reserve team under such a declining situation...

Yu Chigong's heart was terrified by the combat power displayed by the Youtunwei. Ordinary people are already so brave and fierce. If there is a reserve team, it must be the elite among the elite. The consequences are unpredictable.

Li Daozong looked solemn, and said slowly: "How could it not be? Fang Er has always acted arrogantly, but in fact he is very measured. He always leaves room for it, and he will never go all out, because exhaustion means nothing. Life and death, success or failure, there is no turning point, half the battle has already been lost."

Yuchi Gong is silent, isn't this talking about King Jin?
Until now, the King of Jin has put all the troops he can use into the Taiji Palace. It seems aggressive and desperate. In fact, so many troops gathered in the narrow area of ​​the Taiji Palace cannot exert their maximum combat power. After all, the battlefield is so big and the battle line is so long, even if there are ten times more troops, there are only so many soldiers fighting in battle, and more troops are left behind for rotation.

Moreover, the disadvantages of this kind of strategy are too great, not only can you only win, but you can't lose, and you can't even have the slightest setback.

But even though he knew the road that could not be exhausted and soldiers could not be exhausted, King Jin had no choice.

The sixth rate of the East Palace in the east of the city and the Youwuwei in the south of the city are really too deterrent. If you don’t use up all your strength at this time, should you wait for all the troops coming to Chang’an to be defeated before going all out?

At that time, Li Jing and Xue Wanche were no longer restrained, and the army entered the city together, and the battle situation could never be reversed...

Taking a deep breath, Yu Chigong squinted his eyes and looked at the tower of Wude Gate in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I led the troops to storm the gates and palace walls of various places, and the king of the county led the elite to lead the formation. How about suppressing it at the right time?"

Li Daozong nodded: "It should be so."

Now that we know that Fang Jun must have the most elite reserve team yet to be released, the task of sniping his reserve team is naturally extremely dangerous. Disagreement among one's own people before entering the Hall of Wude is really self-defeating.

What's more, between him and Yu Chigong, both prosperity and loss, there is no need to worry about who has more casualties...

Yuchi looked around and shouted loudly: "Put up my big flag, sons, break the city!"

The soldiers hurriedly erected a large flag decorated with feathers of various colors. The edge of the flag is a swallowtail-shaped streamer. If the ribbon flutters and the flag flutters when the wind is strong, it is very powerful and domineering, but at this moment, heavy rain will blow the flag. Wet, those dovetailed streamers clinging to the flagpole look wilted...

But this is the symbol of the right guard, and it is Yu Chigong's commander-in-chief flag. Where the big banner is, that is where the commander-in-chief is. When the whole army sees the big banner standing not far in front of Wude's gate, they know that their commander-in-chief has come to the front line. Naturally, morale soared and murderous aura arose.

With the continuous sound of the war drum, the soldiers risked their lives and launched a frenzied attack on Wudemen.

The defenders were stretched to the left and right, and had no choice but to retreat in an all-round way. They were compressed into positions by the rebels rushing up like a tide, while Wudemen faced the front of the rebels.

Yu Chigong personally commanded, and the soldiers were divided into teams of 20 each. Each team carried a giant log, and braved arrows, rolling logs, and even thunderbolts contained in wooden boxes to the city amidst the sound of war drums. Door charge.

Dozens of soldiers charged in unison, the arrows fell and howled, the soldiers were smashed by the rolling wood, and the thunderbolt contained in the wooden box exploded after falling, and the broken shrapnel scattered and fell like wheat. lost heavily.

However, someone still rushed to the city gate with a huge log, and slammed into the city gate.

boom!boom!The city gate crashed under the impact of a huge force, crumbling...
