Others might hide because they were afraid of the enemy, but who was Fang Jun? How could he be so cowardly and incompetent?
With his consistently demonstrated military prowess and his superior military strength, even if the rebels finally succeeded in breaking through the defense line of Ganlu Palace, they would surely shed a layer of their skin. Now that the war is getting more intense, Fang Jun has evaporated without a trace, which is really strange.
The soldiers immediately divided into more than a dozen people, rushed to the battlefield ahead, and conveyed the order to search for Fang Jun to all the troops.
Li Daozong was a little nervous. He stood under the rain corridor of a palace with his hands behind his hands, looking at the blazing battlefield in the distance, frowning: "I wonder if His Highness King Jin has received the news that we have invaded Taiji Palace, and will he immediately raise troops?" We will attack Mingde Gate to provide support. If we cannot raise troops in time, we will inevitably be entangled by the Duke of Wei, which will be quite troublesome."
No matter how far the situation develops, no matter how remarkable the results achieved on one's side are, or how disastrous the defeat of the defenders in the palace is, as long as Li Chengqian cannot be captured alive to determine the overall situation, one cannot afford to slack off even for a moment.
The existence of Li Jing means infinite possibilities. Looking around the world, no one dares to win in front of Li Jing.
What's more, there is Fang Jun who hides his head and doesn't know where he is hiding and what he is preparing for...
There are many hidden dangers.
At this moment, dawn is approaching, and a hint of fish belly white has appeared on the horizon. The rain has not dried up, and the wind has gradually become stronger. The clothes on my body have been blown by the cool wind, making my bones wet and cold. After a night of running around, Yuwen Shi and the old man are in a state of decline. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I just sat on the steps in front of the palace.
"Although the King of Jin has never led an army, he is talented and intelligent, and he naturally knows how to do it. Besides, His Highness has a veteran general like Yu Chigong beside him. The only thing to worry about is Cheng Yaojin... That guy is full of calculations. Although he agreed to step aside and let go of the road, he was attached to King Jin, but he never showed his true surrender, and he could counterattack anytime and anywhere. Now he is Chen Bing Fan Chuan, right behind King Jin. If he makes the slightest move, I’m afraid King Jin won’t dare to act rashly.”
Yu Wenshi was very worried.
Now Cheng Yaojin has become a common "worry" for both parties. Because his subordinate Zuo Wuwei is powerful, it is impossible to let him be attracted by the other party, but if you want to win him over, you have to guard against him "backstabbing" at any time. Really It’s really a “sword with two edges”, a dilemma.
Li Daozong remained silent, only frowning and looking at the battlefield ahead.
The scouts kept coming back to report that there was no trace of Fang Jun in the Confucius Temple, no trace of Fang Jun in the Foguang Temple, and no trace of Fang Jun in the Sanqing Hall and Lingyan Pavilion... This commander who was ordered by the emperor to guard the Taiji Palace was actually in the middle of the war. When it was burning, it disappeared.
"Catch a prisoner and torture him severely. You must ask Ming Fangjun where he came from!"
"Here!"
Li Daozong watched the scouts go away, becoming more and more restless.
Yuwen Shiji also became worried. After thinking about it, he hesitated and said, "Isn't that guy out of the palace?"
Li Daozong looked over and asked, "Where are you going when you leave the palace?"
Of course, you won't escape if you want to escape. If you leave the palace, you must plan for something big, but what big thing can make Fang Jun give up the battle to defend the palace?
Yu Wenshiji expressed his speculation: "Will he leave the palace and sneak back to Youtun Guard, hoping to turn the tide?"
If Youtunwei had not been completely destroyed by Li Daliang's secret efforts to split up and Chai Zhewei's all-out attack, but had defeated these two forces in one fell swoop and entered the palace from the empty Xuanwu Gate to directly attack Li Daozhong, it would have inevitably resulted in a passive situation in which Li Daozhong was attacked from both sides. , the superior force has become the disadvantaged side...
Even though Li Daozong valued Fang Jun unparalleledly and believed that Fang Jun was the kind of person who could turn the tide and emerge from a desperate situation, he did not think that Fang Jun could succeed at this time: "Chai Zhewei has tens of thousands of troops ready to go, even if Fang Jun can gather his right The remnants of the garrison cannot defeat Chai Zhewei without firearms."
The reason why Youtunwei became the most powerful army in the world was because of its wide range of firearms and equipment and advanced firearms tactics, not because of the combat power of its soldiers. The Foundry Bureau was completely destroyed during the Guanlong Mutiny, and now only less than one-tenth of it has been rebuilt. The production capacity is scarce and insufficient to supply the Youtun Guards. The Youtun Guards without firearms can only fight with swords, guns, swords, halberds and infantry. How can they win? How about recruiting a full and well-equipped Zuotun Guard?
Yu Wenshiji thought for a while and expressed his approval. No matter how dandy Chai Zhewei is, he is definitely not a loser. He has the Heavenly Sect in his hand, so he can't lose everything, right?
The battle became more and more intense, but both of them were already somewhat distracted. They were still thinking about where Fang Jun had gone and what his intentions were...
The soldiers rode back from a distance. When they arrived, they got off their horses and knelt down on one knee, saying: "Report to the prince, we have captured a prisoner ahead. After being tortured, we learned that Fang Jun did not enter Xuandemen with the army." , but stayed at the military camp outside Xuande Gate, but the prisoner did not know what was going on."
Yu Wenshi and Huo Ran stood up: "Come here, go back immediately and rush to the outside of Xuanwu Gate. Tell Chai Zhewei to wipe out the Youtun Guards at all costs. Xuanwu Gate must be under our control. There must be no accidents!"
Although I don’t know what Fang Jun’s intentions were, it was extremely unreasonable for him to stay at the military camp outside Xuande Gate. It was very likely that he had walked through the Forbidden Garden, bypassed various military camps and sneaked secretly outside Xuanwu Gate. Trying to turn the tide and save Youtunwei from the brink of destruction.
And once Fang Jun really rescues Youtunwei, anything can happen...
Li Daozong acquiesced to Yuwen Shiji's decision and didn't say much. He just pinched his eyebrows and sighed softly.
Things in the world will never be smooth sailing, and there will always be various accidents. No matter how thorough the plan is, how careful the design is, emergencies must be solved one by one and problems that suddenly arise one by one must be solved one by one. , to know the final victory or defeat...
When someone rode towards the Xuanwu Gate, Li Daozong ordered his soldiers: "Send orders to the troops in front, strengthen the offensive, and attack the Wude Palace at all costs!"
The King of Jin was outside Chang'an City, with Li Jing's army on one side to contain him at any time, and Cheng Yaojin, who was unpredictable on both ends, trying to break through Mingde Gate and enter the city along Zhuque Street to attack Chengtian Gate to form a pincer attack from the north and the south. , it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Although it is not difficult to break through the defense of Manlu Palace with only your own troops, it will take time after all.
And as time drags on, who knows what unknown things will happen. The so-called long nights and many dreams are exactly like this.
Fang Junze is very likely to lurk behind him, trying to seize control of Xuanwu Gate. Once he is done, he and his army will be surrounded, the morale of the army will be shaken, and the outcome will be unpredictable...
We can only hope to quickly break through the defense line of Ganlu Palace and enter Wude Palace to determine the outcome.

"Ah sneeze!"
Riding a horse through the mountains and forests, the road was rough and difficult, the sky was dark and drenched with light rain, the raincoat was torn by the branches, the armor and stomach could not withstand the rain, and the whole body was already soaked. When crossing a low shallow river, Fang Jun suddenly felt After sneezing, the war horse beneath me happened to step on a rock at the bottom of the water and almost fell...
"Mom! Who is scolding me behind my back? Don't let me know, otherwise whoever it is will be stripped naked, hung up and beaten!"
Rubbing his nose, Fang Jun held the reins in both hands and carefully urged the horse to cross the ditch. He met up with more than a hundred soldiers who were accompanying him, trotted along the riverside path for a while, and then dived into the dense woods again...
From the Taiji Palace to the Wei River, there is a large wilderness of undulating mountains, with rivers and ravines everywhere. The southern side is enclosed as a forbidden garden, and on the western edge is the former site of the Han Chang'an City. The ruins are everywhere, and the terrain is very rough and difficult to navigate.
At dawn, Fang Juncai led his soldiers out of the dense woods. It was drizzling in front of them, and dawn was about to break. A large field was gray and unreal, but the crisscrossing roads made people feel relaxed.
Fang Jun urged the war horse to speed up and galloped towards the Xuanwu Gate.
We must rush to the Youtunwei station as soon as possible. Firstly, we are afraid that Gao Kan will not be able to hold on for long. Since Li Daozong dares to rebel and enter the Taiji Palace, he must be confident that he can completely eliminate his worries. His previous trust in Gao Kan is questionable. There must be something wrong. Something unexpected happened, making it very likely that the entire army of Youtunwei would be destroyed. Furthermore, you can sneak into the Youtunwei camp while it's dark, otherwise once discovered by the rebels, a mere hundred of you will be unable to escape...
When the towering Xuanwu Gate was in sight, the firelight rising from the Youtunwei camp could be seen, as well as the faint sounds of fighting.
Although I don't know what happened to Youtunwei, why Gao Kan couldn't control a mere Li Fengjie but was instigated by him to rebel and the soldiers started fighting, but after all, the war has not stopped yet, and everything was done in time.
Fang Jun and his party rushed toward the Youtunwei camp in spite of the rain and wind...
…
Gao Kan's face was livid, holding a horizontal sword in his hand as he looked at the traitors charging in front of him. He wished he could go into battle with his sword and kill all these wolf-hearted people, but he did not dare to act rashly.
Zuo Tunwei has been gathering in the camp separated by a wall, watching here with eager eyes. Although it is still unknown why they have been unable to launch, Gao Kan understands that as long as he leads his army to fight with the rebels, Zuo Tunwei will definitely do what he did. They rushed over like wolves and tigers and slaughtered all the Youtun guards.
Therefore, he could only restrain his troops to stick to the front line of the Chinese army's tent. With his superior strength, he could withstand the rebel offensive, trying to delay time in the hope that something would change.
Opposite him, Li Daliang also changed from calm and calm to restless. On the one hand, he commanded the counterattacking troops to rush into the Chinese army's tent. On the other hand, he sent people to constantly urge Chai Zhewei to lead his troops to reinforce.
Chai Zhewei's delay in coming made Li Daliang feel a little bad...
