The garrison soldiers brought by the surrendering general numbered five thousand. All the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound shook the roof tiles and resounded through the sky.
Hearing the soldiers shouting loudly outside the city, the Shence Army guarding the city were all shocked and stunned. The garrison soldiers shouted to protect the emperor and kill the eunuchs, indicating that they were obeying the orders of Changsheng.
The battle was about morale. Seeing the reinforcements coming from the other side, the morale of the Shence Army was sluggish and their morale was shaken. Changsheng took the opportunity to shout, "Open the palace gate and let the garrison soldiers enter the city."
After hearing Chang Sheng's words, Da Tou immediately jumped off the city wall. Worried that Datou would encounter obstacles, Shi Xuanming followed closely and went down the wall to help.
Changsheng did not attack the Shence Army on the city wall again, but raised his eyebrows angrily and looked left and right.
Although he had never used weapons, he had used heavy blows when facing the enemy before. The soldiers were seriously injured and vomited blood all over his body and face. This time, they glared at him again. The surrounding Shence troops were so frightened that no one dared to do so. Move forward and attack.
Changsheng took the opportunity to cheer up and spoke out, "The Shence Army was deceived by the eunuchs. They immediately opened the city gate and King Qin escorted them. They did not pursue the blame and let the past go."
After Chang Sheng said this, the morale of the Shence Army was even more shaken, and all the soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, a figure rushed from the palace in the north. Before the person arrived, a voice came first, "The emperor has decreed that the imperial censor will participate in the rebellion. The censor will be deprived of his official position and will be killed without mercy."
Changsheng recognized the person who made the sound. This person was none other than Eunuch Liu who shot him with an arrow from the city wall that day. This person was also Yang Fugong's confidant. He undoubtedly heard the shouts of soldiers from the south gate when he came here. Miao wants to come over and stabilize the situation.
The position of the garrison soldiers outside the city was not firm. In order to stabilize the morale of the soldiers, Chang Sheng did not dare to leave their sight. He could only jump to the highest point of the gate tower, raise his voice and shout with all his strength, "You are a dead eunuch with incomplete body. You dare to falsely pass on the imperial edict. The emperor is surrounded by you in the Daming Palace. Master Zhang and Yu Linjun are protecting the emperor in blood. How can you see the emperor? I have already practiced the Hunyuan Divine Art. Come here quickly and accept your order. die!"
Being able to speak and being able to speak are two different things. Chang Sheng's words directly conveyed three messages to Shence Army. One is that the other party is an eunuch with incomplete body parts, the other is that the emperor is now in his hands, and the third is that he has achieved great success and has the ability to fight. Win Eunuch Liu.
After shouting, Changsheng took a deep breath and wanted to speak again. He tried to order the Shence Army to shoot Eunuch Liu with bows and arrows, but he swallowed the words as he spoke. After thinking anxiously, he changed his words to another way and did not give direct orders. Instead, he ordered the officers of the Shence Army, "General of the Shence Army, listen to the order. I am the imperial censor of the current dynasty, the master of Longhu Mountain, the master of the Ni family, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. You will know your way back immediately." , I will protect you from punishment and keep you in your original posts."
Changsheng staked everything he had with these words. As for the high-gong master of Longhu Mountain, he was just lying. He was just a Taoist priest who had just given the consecration. He was not a high-gong man, but he had to bet on himself in critical moments. This increases the weight of what you say.
Facts have proved that he used this trick correctly. He was originally an official of the imperial court, and Taoist priests are very mysterious existences in the eyes of the world. In addition, he is also the son-in-law of Ni Zuo, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether he is the one who rebelled. , at least Longhushan and the Ni family are tied to him, and he still holds the real power of criminal law as the censor.
However, what moved Shen Cejun the most was his previous sentence of "the official remains in his original position". No matter what the outcome of today's events is, ordinary soldiers will not suffer much punishment, but if they stand in the wrong team, the leading general will be punished. It was bad luck, and his words just relieved everyone's worries.
A few miles away, on the east wall of the city, there was a Shence Army shouting, "The Imperial Censor must do what he says. We were deceived by the eunuchs and almost made a big mistake. We should know when we have lost our way and obey the Imperial Censor." Order!"
Due to the distance and the large number of people, Changsheng could not see the appearance of the person speaking, but he could hear the person's voice. This person was a fellow martial arts scholar named Ouyang Ming, who came from Jiangnan West Road. The Flying Eagle Hall.
Everyone was already shaken, but when they heard someone on their own side speaking out, other generals and commanders expressed their opinions one after another, "Follow the orders of the imperial censor!"
Changsheng was overjoyed when he heard the crowd shouting to express their stance. Seeing that Eunuch Liu had entered the range of the bow and arrow, he immediately raised his hand and pointed north, shouting an order, "Shoot the eunuchs to show their loyalty!"
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, the generals immediately ordered, "Open the bow and let go!"
Along with "release" coming from everywhere, arrows rained out from the city wall, covering the sky and the ground, densely packed.
Eunuch Liu was now less than twenty feet away from the gate tower. He knew in his heart that Changsheng was bluffing. If he could come to Changsheng and capture Changsheng, both the Shence Army and the garrison would fall into the hands of the eunuchs again, but What made him extremely regretful was that Chang Sheng, who had punished every word of his heart in a limited time, managed to instigate the Shence Army before he could plunder it. Now that thousands of arrows were fired, everything was over.
Eunuch Liu did not try to dodge by falling to the ground, because he knew very well that whether he was in the sky or on the ground, he was within the coverage of the arrow rain, and he was dead and had no chance.
Half a moment before the rain of arrows approached, Eunuch Liu raised his voice and warned, "The situation is over, foster father, leave quickly!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Eunuch Liu only thought of being loyal to Yang Fugong and urged him to leave as soon as possible, but he ignored his own words, which was equivalent to confirming the rebellion by the eunuchs.
Hearing this man shouting, both the garrison that had just entered the city and the Shence Army on the city wall secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At the critical moment, they were not in the wrong team and chose the right side.
Not only everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the Daming Palace was trapped, the Yulin Army was almost completely dead and wounded. If the garrison and the Shence Army had not been rebelled at the critical moment, not only would the emperor be dead, but everyone on his side would also die. Whole corpse.
Changsheng just breathed a sigh of relief, but did not dare to delay for a moment, and ordered urgently, "Fu Yushi, you stay and command the Shence Army to defend the south gate, and let the Yulin Army outside the palace enter the city. Shi Xuanming and I will lead the garrison. Enter the palace to rescue him."
Datou knew the importance, and immediately jumped from the city wall to the city wall, stepped on the ground to use his strength, and then went up to the gate tower. He bowed to Changsheng and saluted, "Yes!"
Although Datou is a dwarf, he has a loud voice at critical moments. He obeys orders with full energy and a loud voice.
Changsheng didn't wait long, and immediately spun to the ground, raised his arms and waved to the garrison, "Follow me!"
Although he and Shi Xuanming did not have horses, they had Qinggong and were able to move forward quickly. The garrison behind them tried their best to urge their horses but could not catch up with them.
Changsheng's mood at this time can only be described as anxious. When he left earlier, there were only more than 200 Yulin troops left. The Shence army who entered the palace from the west gate must have arrived long ago. At this time, the Yulin army should have They are almost exhausted, and Yang Fugong must have heard the warning that Eunuch Liu shouted before his death. As long as he captures the emperor, the Eunuchs can regain control of the situation. At this critical moment, it is difficult to say that the Eunuchs will escape. Escape is still a desperate move.
Although the passage of the palace is very spacious, it has many twists and turns. It is a waste of time to lead the troops north, but Chang Sheng did not dare to leave the garrison behind him and rush there first. This group of people's position is not firm. Without his guidance , there is still a possibility of rebellion.
As the distance approached, the shouts of killing from the Daming Palace in the north could finally be heard. This made Changsheng feel relieved. The shouts of killing soldiers showed that the war was not over and the Daming Palace had not been breached yet.
After a while, Changsheng finally led the garrison to the outskirts of the Daming Palace. At this time, the gate of the Daming Palace had been closed from the inside by the eunuchs and the Shence Army.
Seeing this situation, Changsheng and Shi Xuanming frowned and looked at each other, then rushed forward, gathered their energy from in front of the palace gate and used their palms at the same time to knock down the students at the gate.
At this time, there were less than fifty Yu Lin troops guarding outside the palace gate, and dense Shence troops gathered outside.
"Kill the eunuchs and protect the emperor." The leading general raised his arms and shouted.
Hearing the commander's order, the garrison soldiers behind responded loudly. At the same time, they dismounted, drew their swords, and rushed in.
Just when Changsheng was secretly rejoicing and gasping for air, he suddenly noticed at a glance that several purple auras appeared in the northeast. The breath was undulating and erratic, and they were moving rapidly towards the palace from a distance...
