Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Yuchi Jingde said: "Go to Ganlu Hall."

Xiao Nuo said: "Yuan Hongren has led a brigade of forbidden troops to besiege Xiande Hall!"

Yuchi Jingde picked up the long lance, and said with disdain: "Yuan Hongren, that trash, even 2 people can't attack him. Let's save the Supreme Emperor first."

Yuchi Jingde got on his horse and rushed away with a dozen or so generals.

Xiao Nuoyan only followed behind.

Outside the Xiande Hall of the Taiji Palace, Yuan Hongren commanded a large number of soldiers from the aristocratic families in Guanzhong, and more than [-] people arrived at the gate of the Xiande Hall in a mighty manner.

With Yuan Hongren's order, several teams of soldiers divided up and blocked all the palace gates outside Xiandian Hall.

The archers, gunmen, and sword and shield players among the rebel soldiers immediately opened up.

Yuan Hongren saw that the team had already lined up, and rode his horse to the gate of Xiande Hall.

Two Imperial Guard soldiers stepped forward and called for the door.

At this moment, the wall of Xiande Palace, which was originally dimly lit, was suddenly covered with torches, and the two rebel soldiers who originally planned to call the door were at a loss by this scene.

Wei Ting shouted loudly: "In the middle of the night, who is making noise outside?"

Yuan Hongren said speculatively: "Quickly open the door, there are remnants of the abolition of King Qin, who have sneaked into the Xiande Hall to assassinate His Majesty."

Wei Ting sneered and said, "Your Majesty's bedroom is guarded by his own guards. If there is an assassin, he will definitely be caught and captured."

Yuan Hongren took a step forward, looked at the four crossbow carts beside him, and said with a proud face: "There are many assassins, carrying heavy crossbows, and the guards of the sleeping hall, I am afraid they are not opponents."

Wei Ting proudly said: "The left guard of the Eastern Palace of a certain family is in charge of guarding His Majesty's safety. It is a duty-bound duty. I don't want you to worry about it. I will go back and disperse immediately!"

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army could only look at Yuan Hongren helplessly.

Yuan Hongren said with a smile: "I am Yuan Hongshan. I have learned that there are remnants of the abolition of King Qin, pretending to be servants and maids of the Eastern Palace. The imperial army has already found the bodies of several servants and maids of the Eastern Palace in the streets. They must be assassins. Infiltrated into the Eastern Palace. Ensuring His Majesty's safety is the top priority of the Forbidden Army, as long as the last general sees His Majesty, he will return to the barracks immediately."

Li Jiancheng was in the enemy building, he could hear clearly, and hurried out.

Chen Ying saw the eight-ox crossbow in the rebel army at a glance. Speaking of which, it was also his masterpiece.In ancient times, Chinese bed crossbows had no wheels and usually needed to be carried and moved, which was not only inconvenient, but also heavy. After Chen Ying’s four-wheeled carriage was manufactured, he adopted the method of transplanting and grafting. Transplanted to a four-wheeled carriage.

In this way, two horses can pull the eight-ox crossbow and the trebuchet around, and the transfer speed is not slow.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying suspiciously and said, "Chen Qing, why?"

Li Jiancheng didn't know that Ba Niu Nu had another battlefield nicknamed "Widow Maker". The most famous battle example appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty when the Liao Kingdom invaded during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. Taran), fearing that the morale of the Song army would be high, he immediately led thousands of cavalry to the city, trying to preemptively take down Beicheng.

While organizing the onslaught, he observed the weaknesses of the Song army immediately on the high slope. The morale of the Song army was like a rainbow, and the arrows were like rain. The Liao army gradually became disorganized. , but in this way, he was flying around, exposing his command position.

Xiao Darin thought that his position was beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and he had shield soldiers on the side facing the Song army, so he thought it was safe.As a result, dozens of crossbows were fired by the Song Army, and Xiao Darin, who was immediately on the high slope, became the target of concentrated shooting. The first arrow directly hit the horse of Tanlan, and he himself was hit by an arrow in the ribs, as if throwing the arrow to the ground. Another arrow pierced through the top of the helmet and came out of one eye, and he couldn't hold himself up immediately and fell to the ground. He died in the camp that night, and was hit by six arrows when he died.The Song army took advantage of the momentum to open the city and attack. Xiao's subordinates did not dare to retreat without receiving the general's order, and most of them died in battle.Because Xiao Darin is a military genius as famous as Yelu Xiezhen in the Liao army, and the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom is known for his bravery (then he was the king of the Southern Academy, which was Xiao Feng's position in Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu").His death shocked the Liao army. "The Empress Dowager came to her chariot, cried bitterly, and stopped for five days." Morale was greatly frustrated, and feared by the ability of the Song army to defend the city, the Liao army did not carry out an effective attack on Chanzhou since then.The war ended with the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance.

Chen Ying saw the existence of the eight-ox crossbow. It was so powerful that it was still powerful at a distance of [-] steps. Four eight-ox crossbow carts with one or two six-foot-long crossbow guns aimed at the enemy building. If Li Jiancheng went out at this time, he would definitely be beheaded.

But Li Jiancheng insisted on going up, and Chen Ying had no choice.

However, Chen Ying winked at the guard soldiers around him.

Although the eight-ox crossbow is powerful, its rate of fire is far inferior to bullets. The flying speed of the strong crossbow used by infantry is about one-third of the speed of sound, while the bed crossbow is faster than the strong crossbow, but it will never exceed the speed of sound. As long as a few soldiers of the Forbidden Army with sharp eyesight and quick hands guard Li Jiancheng to lie down, there is still a chance to save Li Jiancheng from the enemy's crossbow.

Li Jiancheng looked at Yuan Hongren and shouted, "Yuan Hongren!"

After Yuan Hongren confirmed the appearance of Li Jiancheng, he raised his hand and dropped it heavily.

As Yuan Hongren's hand fell, four burly rebel soldiers, holding wooden hammers, slammed heavily on the machine bracket. With the bang bang bang bang, twelve eight-ox crossbow and six-foot crossbow guns shot quickly. out.

Chen Ying grabbed Li Jiancheng's back and pulled it back. Li Jiancheng was suddenly unprepared and fell to the ground on his back.

At the same time, three Forbidden Army soldiers pressed on Li Jiancheng like a stack of arhats.

At this moment, the six-foot crossbow spear of the bed crossbow also flew in front of the parapet.

"Bang bang bang..." The bricks and stones on the female wall were hit by the sharp crossbow gun, and the bricks flew into the air, and sparks shot out.

Li Xiuning watched this scene, bent his bow and set up an arrow, and shot Yuan Hongren angrily.

Yuan Hongren was unaware, was shot in the throat by an arrow, and immediately fell off his horse.

At the same time, the gate of Xiande Hall opened with a bang.

Li Xiuning was the first to rush out of the door. While charging, Li Xiuning yelled: "I am Li Xiuning, Princess of Pingyang, anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Chen Ying was worried about Li Xiuning's safety, and hurriedly led his guards out of the palace gate.

Chen Ying shouted: "Kill!"

Without Yuan Hongren as the leader, the rebels were immediately in chaos.

Li Jiancheng was knocked into a daze at this time, and slowly came back to his senses, he shouted at the rebels: "I am here, the chief evil has been eliminated, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

Li Xiuning and Chen Ying hurriedly attacked the hesitant generals of the rebel army, killing them back and forth, in a panic.

All the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army roared: "Your Majesty has an order, the chief evil has been eliminated, and the accomplices will not be killed!"

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army also shouted in unison: "The evil has been eradicated, and the accomplices will not be killed!"

The leaderless rebel soldiers scattered and collapsed, and a large number of soldiers knelt down and begged to surrender.

……

Outside Ganlu Hall, a personal attendant lit a torch and handed it to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji raised the torch and shook it twice.

The accompanying soldiers quickly set up their formation.

Li Yuanji waved the torch again.

However, there was still no response in Ganlu Hall.

Li Xiaochang hastily raised his hand and ordered: "Prepare to attack!"

All the soldiers lined up and approached the Ganlu Hall.

Suddenly, a rocket shot from the direction of Ganlu Hall and pierced a tree trunk.

Li Xiaochang was taken aback and took the horse with him.

Li Xiaochang hurriedly asked Li Yuanji: "His Royal Highness, there are people guarding the Ganlu Palace, what should I do?"

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "It must be that kid Li Anyan, first send a scout to investigate."
