"Li Shimin is a traitor and must accept his fate!"
Li Shimin charged forward. Unexpectedly, the general of the Prince's Army had already spotted him. With a roar of filial piety, he rode forward and rushed away from the Tiance Mansion army in front of him. The mountain-opening ax in his hand turned into a fan-shaped surface and ran towards Li Shimin. Angrily slashed down.
"Dingdong, it is detected that the wolf has entered the brave state, the force is +4, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 101."
Li Shimin had no time to think about it, so he quickly raised the horse in his hand and tried his best to resist.
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Li Shimin has entered a fighting state. The force is +3. The base force is 88. The current force has increased to 91."
There was a "choking" sound, and the axes collided. Li Shimin was shocked by the axe, and his mouth went numb, and his complexion changed drastically.
"The traitor Li Shimin, suffer death!"
He laughed loudly, raised his ax high, and slashed left and right at Li Shimin's vital points, pressing forward step by step without mercy.
Li Shimin was in a panic when he was killed by Sui. After more than ten rounds, he could no longer withstand Sui's brute strength. The horse in his hand was swung away by Sui with an axe, and flew out.
"I will die alone!"
Without his weapons, Li Shimin's face turned pale, secretly thinking that the situation was over.
The man laughed wildly, raised his ax high above his head, and slammed it down in the air. The wind roared and murderous intent filled the air.
"Don't hurt my lord!"
At the moment when the giant ax was struck, a long spear thrust out from the side, and the tip of the spear hit the face of the axe. There was a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the big ax was knocked aside. , passing by Li Shimin.
He slammed the ax into the air, and at the same time he felt a huge force coming from the ax body. The tiger's mouth hurt, and he was startled. He quickly reined in his horse and took a few steps back. After a closer look, he saw that it was Li Shimin's confidant General Wei Chigong who was coming. .
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Yuchi Gong has entered the state of Mengzhi. The force is +5, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 102."
"How dare you hurt my lord!"
Yu Chigong yelled angrily, urged his horse forward, and stabbed at the horse with his spear.
He raised his ax to meet each other, and the two tower-like men were fighting fiercely in the blink of an eye. One wielded a big ax like the wind, and the other stabbed the shadow with a long spear, causing sparks to fly and the sky to be darkened.
"Father, my child is here to help you!"
Su Yu and Yuchi Gong fought fiercely for forty or fifty rounds, and it was difficult to tell the difference for a while. At this moment, Yuchi Gong's two sons, Yuchi Baolin and Yuchi Baoqing, were seen approaching on Pegasus. One was brandishing a snake spear, the other was holding a long spear high, and they were heading straight towards the dragon.
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Yuchi Baolin has entered the resolute state, the force is +5, the base force is 98, and the current force has increased to 103."
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Yuchi Baoqing has entered the courageous state, the force is +3, the base force is 95, and the current force has increased to 98."
Yu Chigong and his son joined forces to deal with Sui, killing him until he was in agony and full of flaws.
At the critical moment, Yuan Lang's good brother Yuan Lang came on horseback. He shouted angrily and rushed into the battle group with two water-hardened steel laos. At the same time, Li Jiancheng's general Guo Wei saw that Xiang was in critical condition and also indulged him. Ma Tingyan rushed over.
"Dingdong, it is detected that Yuan Lang has entered the brave state, the force is +3, the basic force is 95, and the current force has increased to 98."
"Dingdong, it has been detected that Guo Wei has entered a violent state, the force is +5, the base force is 97, and the current force has increased to 102."
Guo Wei and Yuan Lang rushed into the battle group, Yuan Lang's ax smashed at Yuchi Baoqing, Guo Wei stopped Yuchi Baoqing with his strength, and Yuan continued to fight Yuchi Gong with his axe.
These six brave generals captured and killed each other, wielding swords and guns at the same time, riding horses in a chain, conquering the dust with iron armor, and wearing silver helmets with murderous aura.
"Gu still underestimates big brother!"
Li Shimin later witnessed the melee among the six generals and frowned: "The eldest brother is the prince, the legitimate heir to the Tang Dynasty. Even though he has been alone in the army for many years, there are still many capable ministers who will choose to be loyal to the prince, the eldest brother."
"Capture Li Shimin alive, capture Li Shimin alive!"
Just when Li Shimin was at his wits' end, there was a cry of killing. An elite cavalry of about 500 people passed through the gap between the two armies, galloping past like smoke and heading straight towards Li Shimin. The leading general was none other than Li Yuan's cousin, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng's uncle, Prince Li of Xiangyi County. Rune.
"Little thief Li Shimin, you are rebellious and disrespectful to your brother. You are trying to seek power and usurp chaos. Today, the king of Japan will definitely capture you alive, this unfaithful and unfilial thief."
Li Shenfu waved his long spear with murderous intent and shouted so loudly that Li Jiancheng in the distance couldn't hear him.
"I'm going to use Gu's head to show my loyalty to my eldest brother! My good uncle!"
Li Shimin sneered, and was about to slap his horse and go forward to fight Li Shenfu, but he saw a hail of arrows coming, and Li Shenfu's elite cavalry were shot down by twenty or thirty riders at once.
"Brother Shimin, I'm here to help you!"
Li Shimin followed the sound and saw a force of two or three hundred people suddenly crashing out from the side of Li Shenfu's army. They charged with their bows and arrows from time to time. The leader was Li Daozong, Li Yuantang's nephew.
Li Daozong is still young, only in his early twenties, the age when he admires heroes. He also followed Li Shimin in battles with Liu Wuzhou and Zhao Kuangyin. He admired Li Shimin's literary, Taoist and military strategies very much, and was one of the few people in the clan who sided with Li Shimin.
"Little Li Daozong, why are you so crazy!"
When Li Shenfu saw this, he couldn't help but flew into a rage, and immediately cursed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the legitimate heir to the Tang Dynasty, and you actually went to help that traitor Li Shimin!"
"No!"
Li Daozong retorted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince has a cowardly character and is by no means a wise king in troubled times. Only the King of Qin, with his literary and military skills, can hope to lead the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Sui Dynasty!"
"What nonsense!"
Li Shenfu yelled angrily. Seeing that his troops were constantly being harassed by Li Daozong's army, he immediately turned his horse around and led his men to kill Li Daozong.
Although Li Daozong had few soldiers, he was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. He took the lead and attacked more than ten of Li Shenfu's troops, which greatly boosted the morale of his own army and suppressed Li Shenfu with his weak force.
】
"Kill! Capture Li Shimin alive!"
"Protect the King of Qin and secure the country!"
"Capture Li Jiancheng alive!"
"Protect the prince and protect the country!"
The melee became increasingly fierce. Li Dingguo, Li Huaixian, Li Huaiguang, Yang Xingmi, Li Zhongchen and others who supported Li Jiancheng led their troops to attack the Xuanwu Gate. Li Shimin's direct descendant Li Siyuan and Duan Zhixuan and Shi Xiong, who were in the Chang'an garrison and favored Li Shimin, also arrived successively. . The two armies fought endlessly, with swords and guns clashing, and soldiers fighting each other. Countless arrows were lost in the air and flew straight into a dense arrow net.
"Your Highness."
Du Ruhui rode his horse to Li Shimin's side and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. When it comes to orthodoxy, he is worse than His Highness. The garrison in Chang'an does not support us as much as those who support the Crown Prince. We can no longer love fighting. We must withdraw our troops quickly." Leave Chang'an and retreat to Longyou, so that you can have a chance of survival."
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said nothing. This famous emperor in history understood clearly what Du Ruhui said, but he was unwilling to do so. Separating Longyou would mean dividing the Tang Dynasty into two, and its strength would inevitably be greatly weakened. The great enemies of the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty were eyeing him, and Li Shimin did not want to choose this path unless he had to.
"If the prince can be killed, all problems can be solved. As long as the prince dies, the Tang Dynasty will have only one heir!"
"But Your Highness, we have no hope of killing the Crown Prince in one fell swoop now."
Du Ruhui was also very anxious. Li Shimin was unwilling to give in, so how could he be willing to give in? However, the situation was such that when Li Yuan died suddenly, the reason why Li Shimin was eager to enter the palace was to seek legal status. Unfortunately, he was intercepted by Li Jiancheng's people at Xuanwu Gate. Without an edict, he faced the great challenge. Li Jiancheng, the legitimate first heir of the Tang Dynasty, had no chance of winning in Chang'an City.
