Chapter 708: Conquering Chang'an City
The slogan "Long Live the Northern King---" was passed to Chang'an City. The soldiers guarding the city could not believe it. They could not believe that the 150,000 army would surrender the Northern King so quickly. However, when the Northern King's army arrived at the city of Chang'an, they realized that what they saw was not fake. The 200,000 army was pressing on their hearts with a black cloud. On the city tower, Changsun Wuji personally supervised the battle, but when he saw the 200,000 army in front of him, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. When Changsun Wuji was even more hit, Changsun Shunde was actually killed in battle.
What to do? Changsun Wuji thought in his heart, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.
Because, he thought of a way to stop Li Ke from attacking Chang'an City.
"Come here-" he shouted hurriedly.
"Sikong--" his personal soldiers stepped forward.
"You mobilize a thousand elite troops to the Northern Prince's Mansion and capture all the people in the Prince's Mansion here-" Changsun Wuji said fiercely. At the last moment, he finally made a despicable act of using hostages to threaten Li Ke.
"No" guards received the order.
Lead a thousand elite cavalry to the Northern Palace.
When Li Zhi was enthroned as the crown prince, Changsun Wuji issued an order to let a thousand elite soldiers guard the Northern Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, when his personal guards led a thousand elite soldiers to the Northern King's Mansion, there were already a thousand elite soldiers surrounding the royal palace at the entrance of the Northern King's Mansion.
On the city tower of Chang'an City, Changsun Wuji was very anxious, fearing that Li Ke would suddenly attack the city.
However, what puzzled him was that Li Ke had never issued an order to attack the city. Instead, he led an army of 200,000 standing under Chang'an City, quietly staring at himself on the top of the city.
"What does he want to do?" Changsun Wuji thought to himself, but he couldn't understand no matter how he thought about it.
He could only hope that his personal soldiers would capture Li Ke's little family on the city wall as soon as possible.
However, at this time, the most tragic battle occurred at the gate of the Northern King's Mansion.
When the two thousand Jinwu Guards entered the mansion to get people, they were suddenly killed by the five hundred Eagle Guards. They were killed without any power to fight back and retreated step by step.
The Eagle Guard is the most elite cavalry of the Northern King Li Ke. The horse war was definitely the first-class elite in the Tang Dynasty when it was in infantry. It is not an exaggeration to say that the King of War will be. Imagine what will happen if such a 500 people face two thousand infantrymen? In less than half a stick of incense, all two thousand Jinwu Guards were killed.
The war ended and the outside of the Northern Palace became quiet.
It was seen that except for a few injured people, none of the Five Hundred Eagle Guards died.
Wu Meiniang stood quietly at the door, looking coldly at the dead body in front of her, thinking to herself, "Brother of the Highness, who are you? How could there be such a sage around you?"
However, her thoughts were interrupted by the rushing sound of horse hooves.
"Pu-Pu-Pu-" The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded. When the sound of horse hooves sounded, the number of people was about 10,000.
"Prepare for combat—" the centurion of the Eagle Guard ordered.
The Eagle Guard drew out his battle knife again and set up a formation at the door of the royal palace.
The sound of horse hooves is getting closer.
I faintly found a virtuous cavalryman at the entrance of the alley.
The person at the front is tall and strong, with a pretty face.
Wu Meiniang was overjoyed when she saw this.
Because the person who came was not someone else, it was Li Ke's younger brother Li Yan.
"San Sister-in-law--" Li Yan shouted from afar. When he rode into the horse, he found the dead body at the door. His face darkened and he hurriedly apologized to Wu Meiniang, "Li Yan is late, I hope that the third sister-in-law will atone for her sins--"
"Fifth brother - what are you talking about? Your Highness has left behind five hundred Eagle Guards. Who dares to hurt us-" When she said this, she couldn't help but look at Eagle Guards a few more times.
Because, she had heard of the combat power of the Eagle Guard before, but she had never flashed through the battlefield or seen it with her own eyes.
In the battle today, the strength of the Eagle Guard penetrated into her heart.
"Fifth brother, why are you here?" Wu Meiniang asked.
"San Sister-in-law--we entered Chang'an City from the east gate--" Li Yan replied.
"East Gate - How did you come in? How many people entered the city?" Wu Meiniang asked.
"The guard of the East Gate is Qin Huaiyu. He is the sworn brother of the third brother. The 20,000 troops who followed us into the city were all Cheng Huailiang's Youzhou cavalry, and he is also the sworn brother of the third brother--" Li Yan said excitedly.
She was stunned for a moment of charm, she was a little dazed. She knew that Li Ke had broken off his ties with her two brothers?
Today, why would they help him?
Seeing that the Northern Prince's Mansion was nothing serious, Li Yan did not stop, leaving behind two thousand Youzhou elite cavalry and led 8,000 people to attack Mingde Gate.
Changsun Wuji on Chang'an City Tower was waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, a soldier covered in blood ran to him and said loudly, "Changsun Sikong-the east gate was broken-the enemy rushed into Chang'an City-"
"What?" Changsun Wuji was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Whose army is it? How did it break through?"
"It was Cheng Huailiang, the general who led the army, and Qin Huaiyu, who was guarding the city, who opened the city gate himself-" The soldier said breathlessly and fainted.
"It's over-" Changsun Wuji's head turned blank.
He never expected such an incredible scene to happen. Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang, these two people were Li Ke's pawns after all! Changsun Wuji thought resentfully. At the beginning, Li Ke, Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu were ruling, so he carefully considered the reason. Therefore, he sent someone to monitor the two for ten years, but in the end, Li Ke and the two never interacted with each other for ten years. Changsun Wuji dispelled his concerns and began to use them more, and deliberately controlled Qin Huaiyu to guard the East Gate of Chang'an. Unexpectedly, their breakdown was just a game, a game set for himself. In ten years, it was worth it to have such a simple game?
Changsun Wuji asked himself. After a while, he replied to himself, it’s worth it! It’s really worth it! After ten years of sharpening the sword, he will be able to compete with the world with one move. Isn’t this the best show for Li Ke?
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded. Twenty thousand Youzhou cavalry rushed towards him. Changsun Wuji saw it very clearly. The two people rushing to the front were Cheng Huailiang and Qin Huaiyu.
Outside the city, Li Ke heard the sound of killing and horse hooves.
He smiled and said to the generals beside him, "The time has come for me to wait - to send orders, beat drums - to attack the city -"
"No——" the generals received the order.
"Dongdong--" the war drum sounded.
The newly subdued 150,000 troops began to slowly move towards Chang'an City, with a spectacular momentum.
Changsun Wuji on the city tower no longer had the intention of fighting, and many defending generals on the city did not have the intention to fight to the death, plus the rush of 20,000 Youzhou elite cavalry.
The Mingde Gate was broken soon, and Chen Qi was the first to rush into Chang'an City.
Then the Black Cavalry Army and the Ghost Face Cavity. Li Ke, the last wolf cavalry guard, slowly entered Chang'an City.
"Big brother, second brother--" Seeing Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Huailiang, Li Ke hurriedly dismounted and walked towards the two of them.
When the two saw Li Ke, they also rushed forward quickly, "Third brother--"
It’s still the third brother, the brother, and it’s still so kind.
The three of them held their hands tightly together.
"Third brother, Changsun Wuji has escaped. Go to the imperial city quickly. There are me and my second brother here!" Qin Huaiyu said.
"Okay--" Li Ke agreed, turned over and walked slowly towards Zhuque Gate under the escort of the 10,000 Wolf Cavalry Camp and 20,000 Ghost Face Cavalry. The defenders of Zhuque Gate met Li Ke for a moment, and finally opened the city gate. Then, the main general of Xuanwu Gate also surrendered to Li Ke. Li Ke led a large army to kill towards Tai Chi Hall.
The Wolf Cavalry Camp took over the Zhuque Gate and Xuanwu Gate, and Li Ke only had 20,000 ghost-faced riders with green faces and fangs around him.
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
The ministers in the Taiji Hall left the hall and saw Li Ke leading 20,000 ghost-faced cavalry slowly coming. The ghost-faced cavalry had a sword in his hand, and the red blood was extremely eye-catching.
Li Ke rode on the horse very slowly, and the ghost face rider slowly followed him.
But the ministers standing in front of the Tai Chi Hall felt a sharp murderous aura attacking them, and many ministers' faces turned pale.
Suddenly, I don’t know which minister was the first to not be able to bear such pressure, and fell to the ground with a "splash".
In an instant, all the ministers knelt in front of Li Ke, except for Wei Zheng and other central ministers.
However, when everyone did not expect, Li Ke suddenly stopped the war horse and stopped moving forward.
"Father--" Li Ke said tremblingly. He did not expect Li Shimin to appear here.
