At this time, Xilan walked out of the palace and saw that Li Yukun was arranging the palace guards to occupy the favorable terrain. She immediately came to her side and said, "General Li, the emperor invites you to enter the palace!"
"Yes!" Li Yukun immediately turned around and walked into the main hall. After entering, he saw that most of the royal people were here. Zhu Chufeng's face was ashen, his eyes were dim, and he was sitting on the dragon chair with a very decadent face!
Sitting beside him were Zhu Yuejun, Prince Zhu Zhelin, the other palace maids, imperial guards, etc.! Li Yukun came to the main hall and knelt down, "Old minister, see the emperor!"
Zhu Chufeng waved his hand hurriedly: "Old General, there is no need to be polite at this moment, get up quickly!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Yukun stood up.
"Old General, what's going on outside?" Zhu Chufeng asked.
"I am afraid that the city gate has been breached by the enemy. I have brought four hundred unicorn guards and one hundred fine cavalry. I have asked my girl to lead the defense at Chongxuan Gate. My second son Li Hanrui is defending at Xuanwu Gate. In addition, there are also the Seventh Prince. and the Moon Guards, etc. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we can definitely defend against foreign enemies and wait for my son-in-law to lead the reinforcements to come to the rescue!" Li Yukun said.
Zhu Chufeng looked at Li Yukun, his eyes full of sadness, "Old General, now I am trapped in the palace, and you are the only one who comes to rescue me. It really makes my heart hurt! Cough cough cough...!" Zhu Chufeng coughed after saying this!
"Father!" Zhu Zhelin came over hurriedly, "You'd better go to the dormitory to rest!"
Zhu Chufeng waved his hand, "No problem!"
"Your Majesty, the incident happened suddenly. The defenders on all sides must not have received the news yet. Don't be discouraged. I believe there will be a large number of reinforcements coming to rescue him soon! There are veterans in the palace, so you can rest assured!" Li Yukun shouted loudly! !
"Old General, where is my General Xiangyun now?" Zhu Chufeng asked.
"this……?"
Zhu Yuejun stood up in a hurry, "Brother Emperor, General Zhao went to the Far East a few days ago to deliver military pay. I have ordered people to fly pigeons to pass the message. I believe he will come back to rescue him in the next few days!"
"Well! Now it depends on General Xiangyun!" Zhu Chufeng said with a disappointed look on his face.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to hold on until my son-in-law comes back to help. Please take care of your dragon body!" Li Yukun said with a distressed look on his face.
"Old general, don't worry, I'm not weak yet!" After Zhu Chufeng finished speaking, he coughed twice again!
Zhu Yuejun walked over and looked at the eunuch on the side, "Go, bring the emperor's bamboo bed and let him rest here!"
"Yes!" The eunuch hurriedly walked out of the hall to make arrangements!
At the same time, Guanghua Gate finally failed. The 427 generals and soldiers who defended the city were all killed in the battle. No one retreated and surrendered. However, it was difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and the tiger could not hold back the wolves. The generals and soldiers of the city resisted for half an hour, until they were all killed in the end, and then the gate was breached!
As all 40,000 enemy troops entered the city, all forces in the capital were instantly overwhelmed. First of all, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, which had already killed almost 500 enemy troops outside, saw that there were less than 100 soldiers left. As long as you work harder, you can break through the defense and get out of the predicament!
However, the fate did not go as planned. A group of chaotic enemy troops were seen rushing in from a distance. All hope and bloodshed were instantly defeated. Tens of thousands of enemy troops were seen rushing over like a swarm of ants. This frightened all the soldiers to retreat hurriedly to defend the barracks and the gate. Close it tightly and don’t respond to the challenge!
This made the enemy troops who came over see it and couldn't help laughing: "Is this the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion that the Ministry of War is proud of? It's as vulnerable as a rat crossing the street!"
"Hahaha...!" All the enemy soldiers stood outside the barracks and laughed loudly, but the soldiers inside did not dare to open the door. With a gap of more than ten times, they thought there was no way to attack!
The Dali Temple on the other side was not having a good time either. Wang Heming led a dozen of his men to fight bloodthirstyly with the enemy. However, thousands of enemy troops rushed over from afar, turning the Dali Temple into a mere skinned temple. Tiger!
A man kicked Wang Heming to the ground and put a steel knife on Wang Heming's neck. "Boy, you can beat me! But what's the point of beating you? Can you beat thousands of troops? What a fool." !”
"What are you pretending to be? If my brother was here, would you be able to enter the city? I don't believe you even bring your mother here!"
"Ouch, you have such a tough mouth! Who is your brother? Come on, tell me and scare me to death!" the man said arrogantly.
"Hahaha...!" All the enemy soldiers laughed loudly!
"My brother Zhao Xuanyi is now General Xiangyun!" Wang Heming shouted!
"Haha uh...?" Everyone's laughter stopped suddenly, and they all looked at Wang Heming with strange eyes. "Is your brother Zhao Xuanyi?"
"Not bad! Are you scared?" Wang Heming laughed after saying this!
The man had a sad look on his face, "Catch him, maybe Zhao Xuanyi is here and he can be used as a hostage!"
"Yes!" Two men came over and tied Wang Heming up with hemp ropes!
"Hey? No, hey? What do you mean? I'm Zhao Xuanyi's eldest brother!" Wang Heming said strangely, thinking, aren't they afraid of Zhao Xuanyi?
"If you hadn't mentioned Zhao Xuanyi, you might have been fine. Now that you say he is Zhao Xuanyi's eldest brother, we must treat him well and take him away!" the man said coldly.
"Yes!" Two men took Wang Heming away!
"Zhao Xuanyi, your uncle!" Wang Heming cried.
After the enemy army entered the capital, a man in black rushed in on horseback. Seeing that there was no one on the street, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't disturb the people!"
"yes!"
"Where are the people who are resisting? There can't be no one, right?" the man in black asked.
"Reporting to the young master, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and Dali Temple have been controlled. The Dongchang Jinyi guards took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the city. The only ones left are the palace guards in the palace. They are now huddled in the palace and dare not come out!" The man! Said with a smile.
"They are really using defense as offense and are waiting for reinforcements!" The man in black smiled after saying, "Order all troops to follow me to the palace!"
"Yes!" The man waved his hand, and 30,000 soldiers followed the man in black straight to the palace!
At this time, in Tang Yanju, there were only four Qilin guards left in the mansion, and hundreds of servants in the mansion took up weapons and gathered in the front yard. There was a chaos of war outside. Who knows if anyone would take the opportunity to rob, or if any enemies rushed in. , just fight directly!
There was a sound of banging on the door, and everyone immediately became vigilant. The four Qilin Guards immediately drew their Tianyi bows. Whoever comes in will die first! The other servants raised their weapons one after another, some with spears, and some with machetes. Li Hanyan liked martial arts, and there were all kinds of weapons on the racks in the yard, so the servants picked at will!
The people outside found that no one opened the door and hurriedly shouted, "I'm not a bad person, I'm Li Wenzhou. Is Du Xinyu here? Let her come out and talk to me! Quick!"
Upon hearing this, the Qilin Guards looked at each other, and a Qilin Guard rushed into the hall, "Third Madam, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Li Wenzhou and says he is looking for you!"
"Who?" Du Xinyu asked in surprise.
Not long after, Du Xinyu walked out of the hall and came to the front yard. When he saw everyone was frightened, and the weapons in their hands were raised high, he took a deep breath and came to the door, "Is it Mr. Li?"
"Miss Xinyu, it's me, Li Wenzhou!"
"Master Li, it's very dangerous now. Find a safe place to hide!" Du Xinyu shouted.
"Miss Xinyu, time is running out, I won't talk nonsense, come with me!" Li Wenzhou shouted loudly!
When Du Xinyu heard this, she frowned and felt very angry, "Master Li, please don't misunderstand me. I am very safe at home, why should I leave!"
"Now the Guanghua Gate of the capital has been broken, and the enemy troops have rushed in. I am afraid that the capital is no longer a safe place. I don't know where Zhao Xuanyi is now. It will be very dangerous for you to stay. I have a way to get out of the city safely, Miss Xinyu , just leave with us, it’s better than dying here!” Li Wenzhou shouted loudly!
"Master Li, if there is a way to leave you, please leave first, I will not leave!"
"Why are you so stubborn? Even if Zhao Xuanyi comes back in a few days, the capital has fallen and the royal family will be transferred. I'm afraid your end will be tragic. I can protect your safety. Miss Xinyu, don't let it go in vain. Life!"
Du Xinyu smiled coldly, "Master Li will live a long life. I wish you a safe journey!" After Du Xinyu said that, he turned and walked towards the hall. "Everyone, if anyone breaks in, no matter who it is, shoot to death!"
"Yes!" everyone shouted loudly.
Li Wenzhou stood outside the door of Tang Yanju, stamping his feet in anger, but no matter how he shouted, there was no response from Du Xinyu. Ye Zi came over, "Sir, it's almost time. If you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave!"
Li Wenzhou looked at the door of Tang Yanju and sighed helplessly, "Let's go!"
"Yes!" Ye Zi hurriedly jumped on the carriage, pulled Li Wenzhou into the carriage, swung the reins, and rushed towards the north gate!
At this time, the man in black had led a large number of troops to the outside of Chongxuanmen. Looking at the gate in front of the door, the man in black smiled slightly, "What are you waiting for?"
A soldier walked out from the side and came to the door and shouted loudly, "Listen to the people inside, you have no way to escape. Open the city gate quickly. All the high-ranking officials and generous salaries are here...?"
An arrow shot directly through the man's mouth. The man covered his mouth with both hands, took two steps back and fell to the ground. The rest of the words seemed to go without saying!
After the man in black saw it, he smiled slightly and said, "That's a good answer!" Then he waved his hand!
"Kill!" After a roar, thousands of soldiers carried ladders in their hands and attacked the city gate. They rushed forward with steel knives, bows and arrows in their hands, and some held shields. Number of soldiers was their best way to attack!
At this moment, a woman's roar was heard inside the palace, "Let go!"
One hundred arrows instantly flew into the sky, and a beautiful firework exploded in the sky. The one hundred arrows instantly split into thousands of arrows, falling quickly like raindrops!
"Be careful!" a man yelled!
But the flight speed of the arrows was so fast that the attacking soldiers were treated well by this rain of arrows before they could defend themselves. In an instant, more than 600 people were lying down!
The place in front of the palace was a solemn and solemn place, but at this moment it turned into a red Danube. Everyone was lying on the ground like a human-shaped carpet, wailing in pain!
Although so many people were already lying down, the charging team had not stopped yet. They rushed to the Chongxuan Gate, immediately set up the ladder, and then began to climb up!
"Throw the broken ladder lock!" Tang Tianli shouted!
"Yes!" More than twenty Qilin Guards immediately lay down above the city gate, holding a rope in their hands and shaking it constantly. A closer look revealed that it was made up of three short ropes spliced together, and two ropes were tied to the top. A stone and a grenade!
This thing was originally designed as a flying stone lock in the hands of a hunter. The hunter tied the stone with a rope. After throwing it out, due to inertia, as long as it entangled one leg of the beast, the other ropes immediately tied the other legs of the beast together!
Because of this design, Zhao Xuanyi reformed the flying stone lock. One of the stones was replaced with a grenade. The Qilin Guard pulled the lead, shook it twice in his hand, and threw it directly towards the enemy's ladder!
After the broken ladder lock flew out, it directly wrapped around the ladder by its inertia. The enemy looked at it carefully and thought, what is the use of tying the stone and rope to the ladder?
There was a loud noise, and the grenade exploded instantly, directly blowing up the ladder in the middle, and the person climbing on it fell instantly because the ladder broke!
A huge explosion blew up all seven ladders, and hundreds of enemy soldiers fell down like dumplings from a pot!
"Ouch... Ouch... be careful!" Everyone was thrown to the ground. None of them could get up. They lay on the ground and screamed in pain!
"What? That's wrong! The Qilin Guards are outside at the Qilin Camp. Why do the weapons used here look so similar to those of the Qilin Guards?" A servant on the side said in surprise.
The man in black frowned slightly, "Is it possible that Zhao Xuanyi hid the Qilin Guards in the capital before he left?"
"Brothers, blow them up!" Tang Tianli shouted loudly!
"Yes!" I saw more than forty grenades flying out from the Chongxuan Gate. After falling to the ground, there was a violent explosion, frightening the enemy soldiers surrounding the gate to the point where they fell over and screamed as they lay on the ground and rolled around! Howling!
"How many more ladders are there?" the man in black asked loudly.
"Less than...twenty!" the servant said.
Seeing over a thousand people lying down outside the city gate, the man in black shook his head, "No, we can't go on like this. We need to retreat temporarily and let people guard them two hundred steps away. As long as they don't dare to come out, it's okay. Let's go back and find a way." Siege the city!”
"Yes! Retreat! Retreat quickly! Guard two hundred steps away and don't let anyone go!" The servants on the side shouted loudly!
"Yes!" All the enemy troops began to retreat, and some of the friendly ones also took away the injured brothers. They could not be left to the enemy to waste!
Tang Tianli slowly raised his head on the city wall and looked out, only to see the enemy temporarily retreating. He shouted loudly, "Madam, the enemy has retreated and was beaten back by us!"
"Okay...!" All the Qilin Guards cheered loudly. With such a disparity in strength between the enemy and ours, they actually blocked the first attack. This is the best reward to boost morale!
Zi Yuan hurriedly rushed into the Xuanwu Gate, and then came to Li Yukun, "Reporting to the old general, the enemy's first attack has been repulsed!"
"Really? That's great!" Li Yukun showed a happy smile. "Inform Han Yan to be careful. There are too many enemies! You must not take it lightly and lose the city gate!"
"Yes!" Zi Yuan shouted loudly!
