Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 810 Aftermath (2)

What a blind guy!

Looking at Sun Sansheng's anxious old face, Li Xian was really a little annoyed - although the emergency military situation should be reported to the general, it also depends on the occasion, doesn't it?At this moment, people's hearts have not been completely stabilized. If Li Xian hadn't prepared in advance for Sun Sansheng's messing with him, wouldn't it be messed up right now.

In fact, Li Xian did not expect that the army of the King of Yue would come so quickly when the weather was so cold. It seems that it can save a lot of military expenses, but it has caused a bad result, that is, when the country suddenly has trouble, it is difficult to mobilize enough troops, even in Luoyang, the eastern capital. All the soldiers have dispersed now, and there are only a few left-behind officers and soldiers left in the barracks. Even if Li Xian issues an edict at this time, it will take at least ten days to gather the army. Obviously, this One end is hopeless.

If King Yue's army came quickly, all Li Xian could rely on was Cheng and Li's Yulin Army and Dong Gongwei's army. The combined strength would only be less than 2000 troops, and even if they could be dispatched temporarily Luoyang Mansion has a standing army of [-], and the total strength is only over [-]. After deducting the important passes that must be defended such as the imperial city, the number of troops that can really go into battle to defend against the enemy will not exceed [-]. While on the road, it is really hard to say when they will arrive. There is no doubt that the situation is obviously not that optimistic.

"My dear friends, don't be nervous. The king of Yue wants to do something wrong. I already know it. Now that the Guanlong iron cavalry has passed Xiaoshan Pass and is heading towards Luoyang, the thieves can't go anywhere!"

No matter what the real situation was, the people who should be appeased had to be appeased quickly. No matter how agitated his heart was, Li Xian would not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and waved his hand, announcing proudly.

"Your Majesty is wise, there is no place for a thief to die!"

"Your Majesty is wise, I am in admiration!"

Most of the courtiers present were originally from the neutral faction. After finally standing on the right team, they naturally didn't want the newly obtained Conglong Zhigong to come to naught. Regardless of whether what Li Xian said was true or not, They all climbed up the pole, spouting praises like a tide, and Li Xian really felt goosebumps when he heard it.

"Everyone, go and get busy!"

The army was on fire, so Li Xian had no intention of chatting with the courtiers. He waved his hand, and then got on the soft chariot. Zhang Mingwu led two thousand guards and headed for the Palace of Qinzheng..."The last general See you, Your Majesty!"

At Qinzheng Palace, Li Duozuo, who had attacked several times but failed to enter the palace, was furious at the generals, when he suddenly saw Li Xian's soft chariot approaching, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous Uneasy, he hastily led the generals to greet him, saluted and greeted him respectfully.

"Forget it."

Li Xian walked down the soft chariot slowly, looked around at the apprehensive soldiers, and at the Sanwu Division who was on alert in the Palace of Qinzheng. He was quite impatient, but he didn't say anything to blame Li Duozuo and others. People, just called out indifferently.

"The final general is waiting to thank His Highness Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Now that Li Xian had spoken, all the generals dared not neglect, thanked them according to court regulations, and stood aside.

"Your Majesty, the thieves are densely packed in the palace, and the general is incompetent. If he fails to destroy the thieves within the time limit, please punish him, Your Majesty."

Seeing Li Xian's indifferent expression, Li Duozuo, who knew he was at a disadvantage in the battle, couldn't help feeling a little more uneasy, and hurriedly spoke out to apologize.

"It doesn't matter, it's not a crime of war to cast a rat's ear. General Li has worked hard."

Although he was dissatisfied with Li Duozuo's delay in winning the three martial arts, Li Xian didn't show it on his face, but smiled slightly, and comforted Li Duozuo with a word.

"The last general asks for orders to attack again, and it will be repaid as a thief!"

Seeing Li Xian bring Donggongwei and his army here, Li Duozuo feared that he would lose the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he peeked at Li Xian's face, gritted his teeth, and called out for war.

"Well, General Li is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. I am very relieved, but now things have changed. The King of Yue has rebelled, and his army is rushing eastward. I still need General Li to lead his troops to defend Luoyang for me. I am overworked. I'm afraid it's inappropriate, so let's let Dong Gongwei lead to cooperate with General Li's troops to destroy the bandits."

Li Xian was in a hurry to deploy the battle. How could there be so much time for Li Duozuo to waste, not to mention anything else, if Li Duozuo's troops could attack, they wouldn't be defeated again and again. At this time Attack again, I'm afraid there may not be much improvement. Of course, this is not because Li Duozuo's troops are incompetent, nor is it because the soldiers are not dead. The difficulty of the palace gate is indeed not small, and it is precisely because of this that Li Xian did not say anything to blame Li Duozuo, but he would not agree to his request to attack again, so he pondered for a while, and made his order in a deliberative tone.

"No, the general will obey the order!"

Li Xian had already talked about this point, Li Duozuo didn't dare to insist any longer, so he could only bow his head unwillingly and accept the order.

"Zhang Mingwu."

Seeing that Li Duozuo didn't object any more, Li Xian didn't want to talk any more nonsense, so he raised his voice and yelled.

"The end is here!"

Zhang Mingwu wandered around with Li Xian for a long time today, but he still couldn't get a fight. Son.

"I ordered you to send a team of soldiers to cooperate with General Li's troops. There is a time limit of three quarters to take down Qin Zhen Palace for me. There must be no mistakes!"

Li Xian glanced at Zhang Mingwu who was eager to fight, his face became serious, and he gave his order in an unquestionable tone.

"promise!"

When Zhang Mingwu heard that there was only one team of soldiers from his own army, Zhang Mingwu was quite unwilling, but he never dared to bargain at this moment.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. The last general will arrange a strong attack."

If it is said that Zhang Mingwu felt dissatisfied because he sent too few troops, Li Duozuo disagreed. In his opinion, a team led by only a few hundred soldiers, not to mention that they were useless, and he just left himself for nothing. However, Li Xian's will has been given, and even though Li Duozuo was dissatisfied, he didn't have the guts to raise objections. He could only bow down and ask for his order, and then strode back to the main formation, roaring and delivering the final blow. Order.

"Don't panic. Your Majesty has already sent people to transfer troops outside the city. The soldiers from the South Camp will arrive in no time. As long as we can stop the thieves, we are all heroes of the community. Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly!"

Li Xian at this end was dispatching troops and generals, and Wu Chengsi in the Palace of Qinzheng was also desperately cheering up the remnant army under him, making a lot of promises indiscriminately.

"That's right, what Wu Shangshu said is that we all receive the great favor of our mother, and we should fight to the death to repay it. Whoever dares to retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy!"

Like Wu Chengsi, Wu Sansi is also very aware of the fact that no matter whether they surrender or not, if they fall into Li Xian's hands, they will definitely die. Rather than die for nothing, it is better to fight to the end. It was Wu Chengsi who cooperated with all his strength to sing "Bad Face", brandished a horizontal knife, and uttered threatening words viciously.

"Blood battle to the end, blood battle to the end!"

Wu Yizong didn't have the eloquence of turning black and white like the two brothers, but they took the lead in shouting slogans, but they were still quite enthusiastic. The officers and soldiers of the remnant army saw Li Xian's arrival, and they didn't quite believe the words of the three martial arts, so they echoed His voice also seemed a little weak.

"Ohh Ohh ohh……"

Before the farce of Sanwu's mobilization ended, Zhang Mingwu led a team of East Palace guards and began to press forward in the midst of a shrill horn sound.

"Prepare the crossbowmen, shoot them dead!"

Even though the Donggong Guards were few in number, their fighting power was extremely strong. All the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army knew this well. Seeing Zhang Mingwu's troops walking slowly, Wu Yizong, who was in charge of commanding the battle, unavoidably became nervous. Then he hurriedly roared, and with this order, more than two hundred crossbowmen lined up on the steps immediately raised their bows and arrows in unison, and nervously aimed at the approaching Donggongwei. .

"Prepare the bow and crossbow!"

Seeing that the bowmen of the Yulin Army were so tense and alert, Zhang Mingwu curled his lips in disdain and gave a low drink. Immediately, more than a hundred guards of the Eastern Palace who were marching untied the clothes hanging from the waist on the right. The crossbows aimed at their targets.

"shoot!"

As Donggongwei's army approached, the distance between the two sides quickly shortened to sixty steps. At this time, they were within the effective range of the serial crossbows held by the Donggong guards, and the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army The range of the bow and arrow in his hand is only about fifty paces. This is obviously a great opportunity for Donggongwei to lead his army to defeat the enemy. Zhang Mingwu will not miss it, but after hearing his roar, more than a hundred Donggong guards rushed to the ground. When the trigger was pulled, more than a thousand steel arrows roared out densely like locusts, cutting through the space at high speed, and instantly aroused a scream of ghosts and wolves among the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army who were caught off guard.

"Shoot, go!"

Under the looting of the arrow rain, the Habayashi Army archers who were originally lined up in the aisle outside the hall were basically shot to death on the spot, and the rest were also frightened by the dense arrow rain and lay behind the fence without even their heads. Dare to lift the general up, seeing this, Zhang Mingwu hurriedly roared again, but seeing the guards of the East Palace who had shot empty arrows quickly dropped their bows and crossbows, picked up the pistol stuck in the left waist, and let go. Spread your legs and launch a wild charge.

"The crossbowmen fight back, and the shield swordsmen step forward, ready to fight!"

Seeing that the Eastern Palace Guards led the army to charge, Wu Yizong's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he frantically waved the horizontal knife, urging his soldiers to prepare for the attack of the Eastern Palace Guards.

"Fire!"

Just when Wu Yizong was in a hurry to deploy troops, the guards of the Eastern Palace rushed to the distance of only ten steps away from the steps, but when they heard Zhang Mingwu's roar, the gunshots rang out like popping beans in an instant, and the gunpowder smoke filled the air. In the middle of the attack, bullets whizzed and crashed into the chaotic officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army, and dozens of people were swept away immediately.

"Shoot the knife, kill the thief!"

Before Yu Linjun came back to his senses, Zhang Mingwu yelled and pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, and rushed up the steps as if flying, rushing into the chaotic army like a god and demon, slashing wildly with the knife, He killed several people in a row in an instant, and the officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army were so shocked that they all avoided them. The already chaotic formation became even more chaotic, and then they were rushed by the guards of the Eastern Palace who were killed later, and immediately fell into a complete collapse. Regardless of the state, he turned his head and fled into the hall regardless.

"Attack, kill!"

Li Duozuo, who personally led the army as the second echelon, opened the door of the palace when he saw that Zhang Mingwu's troops had only made an attack. For a while, he really had mixed feelings in his heart, not for anything else, but because he let Zhang Mingwu The intention of the martial arts vanguard was to make Zhang Mingwu suffer, so as to show that his side's previous successive defeats were not a crime of war, but they never expected that the fighting power of the army led by Dong Gongwei would be so powerful. Not forgetting the business, he let out a roar, and led his troops to charge into the wide-open palace gate.

The combat effectiveness of the senior soldiers of the Yulin Army is not good enough. The reason why they were able to defeat Li Duozuo's strong attacks several times earlier was only due to the favorable location. Zhu Zhang and Li's two elites rushed to kill, but after a stick of incense time, the battle was over, all three warriors were killed in battle, and the remaining [-] troops of the Habayashi Army except for the [-] who died on the spot , and the rest all descended. So far, the entire imperial city has completely fallen under Li Xian's control.
