Cheng Yaojin was fighting fiercely with General Luo, but right in front of them, the battle situation between the left and right armed guards led by Li Zexuan and the 30,000 Tianlong Sect followers was showing a one-sided trend.
These more than 30,000 people were ordinary people. They had not received any formal training after joining the Tianlong Sect. After meeting the well-equipped and well-trained left and right military guards, more than 30,000 people instantly showed their abilities. The trend of defeat.
Of course, lack of combat power is one of the reasons, but the more important reason is that after listening to Du'e expose the Tianlong Sect's deceptions and conspiracies, most of the Tianlong Sect members have no intention of resisting. , as soon as the troops from both sides came into contact, countless people put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender!
The elites of the Heavenly Dragon Legion who had previously been supervising the battle among the common people, when they first saw some people who dared to surrender without fighting, they stepped forward to teach them a lesson and prepared to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. However, their actions aroused public outrage. After all, they only had a few hundred people. Thirty thousand ordinary people of the Tianlong Sect turned their spearheads and besieged the elites of the Tianlong Legion.
After a while, all the elites of the Tianlong Legion who were supervising the battle were beaten to the ground, dead, seriously injured, and not even a single one was slightly injured.
"Those who abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side will be given a lighter punishment, and those who stubbornly resist will be killed without mercy!"
The shouts of the armed guards on the left and right could be heard everywhere on the battlefield. Shocked by the absolute force, the 30,000 frustrated Tianlong Sect members put down their weapons one by one, knelt down and surrendered.
Soon, a large number of people fell to their knees on the battlefield.
General Luo, who was fighting with Cheng Yaojin not far away, couldn't help but panic when he saw this scene, but it was useless to be anxious. Although Cheng Yaojin's martial arts level was comparable to his, in terms of experience, Cheng Yaojin would undoubtedly be better than him. He was so big that at this time, he had no way to quickly resolve the battle, let alone get away!
So he could only watch as Li Zexuan "incorporated" the 30,000 followers of the Tianlong Sect!
"Your Majesty, please slow down!"
The battle between the "three parties" outside Chang'an City was in full swing, but inside Chang'an City a group of people happened to arrive near the city wall, and the leader was none other than Li Er! And behind him were all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!
Earlier, when the Tianlong Sect besieged Chang'an City, all civil and military officials from Chang'an City went to the palace one after another and asked Li Er, who was ill, to convene a morning court immediately.
Naturally, the officials did not know that Li Er was deliberately pretending to be ill this time, so that the old officials of King Xi in Chang'an City could relax their vigilance and have time to secretly communicate with the rebels outside the city. After hearing the request of the officials, they immediately convened After the morning court, Li Er did not refuse. After all, Chang'an City was surrounded by rebels. It would be unreasonable if he claimed to be ill and hid in the harem again!
Furthermore, those ministers who wanted to secretly communicate with the rebels outside the city must have done what they wanted to do at this time. As a result, Li Er no longer had any worries and pretended to the ministers in the Tai Chi Hall. After asking about the current situation in Chang'an City, he took the officials directly to the south gate of Chang'an City!
Under the guidance of the eunuch and a city gate officer, Li Er and the ministers in the court ascended the city tower one after another. What they saw was a scene of 30,000 Tianlong Sect members kneeling down and surrendering. Fang Xuanling couldn't help but be surprised. Said: "What's going on? I heard before that the rebels surrounded Chang'an City aggressively, but... but now why have all the people from the Tianlong Sect surrendered?"
It cannot be said that Fang Xuanling was making a fuss. The main reason was that when the Tianlong teaching troops came to Chang'an City before, the people of Chang'an City suddenly fell into extreme panic. Many people described the soldiers of the Tianlong Sect as ferocious monsters with three heads and six arms, and the fifty thousand rebels were suddenly transformed into two or three hundred thousand by word of mouth from the people of Chang'an City, as if Chang'an City might attack at any time. It's like being captured by the rebels!
It was after Fang Xuanling and other key officials of the empire heard the message in the city that they couldn't wait to bring hundreds of officials to the palace to have an audience!
But a group of people came all the way to the city wall, only to find that the situation was not at all what the people said. Except for the "anxious" battlefield on Cheng Yaojin's side, the situation on Li Zexuan's side was completely one-sided!
Doesn't this look like the city of Chang'an is about to collapse? On the contrary, it looks like the Tianlong Sect was ambushed by the imperial court!
Li Er sneered and said: "The existence of the Tianlong Sect is a scam. Now that the scam has been exposed, those people who were deceived are naturally unwilling to serve the Tianlong Sect anymore! Those who are still resisting are the Tianlong Sect and others. The army I cultivated in 2008, known as the Tianlong Legion, came from Qingzhou following the Dragon Head of the Tianlong Sect!"
"Your Majesty, please look, there are two more armies to the east!"
Regarding Li Er's "unpredictable prophecy", the officials were naturally a little shocked, but Li Jing was not included. He was one of the few insiders of the whole incident. At this time, he saw two armies on the fork to the east. Chasing and fighting, he couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Li Er's eyes narrowed and shifted to the east of Chang'an City.
At this time, the city gate general who had previously led Li Er to the city wall explained: "Your Majesty, after Marquis Yong'an used the Lord of the Tianlong Sect to overcome the calamity and exposed all the conspiracy of the Tianlong Sect in recent times, the Dragon Head of the Tianlong Sect knew that he was attacking the city. Hopeless, after seeing the Marquis taking the initiative to open the city to fight, he took two thousand people and fled eastward, leaving the rest of the Tianlong Sect's followers and troops behind him! Seeing this, General Yuchi directly led a thousand Qingqi forward. Go after it!"
"I see!"
Li Er nodded, and then ordered: "Duan Zhixuan, I order you to immediately lead a thousand Xuanjia troops and go out of the city to help Yuchi Jingde! Remember, you must capture the Dragon Head of the Tianlong Sect alive. I want to see who he is. !”
Duan Zhixuan clasped his fists and accepted the order: "General, I will obey the order!"
After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and ran down the tower.
A moment later, a heavily armored army rushed out of Chang'an City and headed east.
Wei Zheng looked gloomy. In fact, he had already guessed the answer to the identity of the leader of the Tianlong Sect. It was precisely because of this that he had been depressed these past few days.
"Get the binoculars!"
Li Er then spoke out and gave instructions to the left and right.
"Here~!"
After a while, a eunuch handed over a pair of binoculars. Li Er reached out to take it, then put it in front of his eyes. He looked at Cheng Yaojin and another young general who were fighting outside the city. After watching for a while, Li Er put it down. Looking through the telescope, he said with strange eyes: "The young general from the Tianlong Sect is so handsome that he can compete with Cheng Zhijie in martial arts. This kind of person is by no means an unknown person. Why do I feel familiar when I look at him? Auxiliary engine, come and take a look!"
Li Er was actually not worried at all about the battle situation outside the city, because under normal circumstances, as long as there was no civil strife in Chang'an City, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking for the enemy to attack the city from the outside! The current Tang Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty with nine years of martial virtue. Not anyone is qualified to come to the city and ask Li Er to sign the "Wei River Alliance"!
After all the hidden crises in Chang'an City were discovered and eliminated in advance, this was a battle with great disparity in strength and a must-win battle. Compared with the victory itself, Li Er was more concerned about the identity of the Dragon Head of the Tianlong Sect and its core members!
"Old minister, I obey the order!"
Changsun Wuji's heart moved, he stepped forward to take the telescope, and then looked towards the battlefield to the south. Just at this glance, he was suddenly shocked: "How is it possible? How could it be him?"
… … … … … …
"Longshou, leave quickly!"
On the fork in the east of Chang'an City, the two thousand elites led by the leader of the Tianlong Sect were pursued by Yuchi Jingde's thousand-strong army, and soon more than half of them were killed or injured. At this time, they heard a heavy sound of horse hoofbeats coming from the direction of Chang'an City. , everyone looked up and saw a group of heavy armored cavalry running towards the west. At this time, a soldier beside Dragon Head of the Tianlong Sect quickly turned around and said: "Long Head, leave this to us, Li Junjian, you boy, please protect me." Dragon Head, leave! Quick!"
Because at this time, Li Junxian happened to be beside the leader of Tianlong Sect.
Li Junxian opened his mouth. The soldier in front of him was none other than the commander of his battalion - one of the seventy-two evil spirits of the Tianlong Sect. He was the same Meng Wuchang who had talked with him last night. He had fought against the Turks. Laofu soldiers.
He had sympathy and respect for this person. He didn't want Meng Wuchang to die, but he couldn't forget his identity. Since ancient times, officials and thieves have been incompatible, and Li Junxian couldn't do anything to let rebel thieves go!
"good!"
In a daze, Li Junxian nodded, then he came to the side of the iron-faced man and said loudly: "Longshou, let's go quickly! The people of the imperial court are coming to catch up!"
Although the man in the iron mask was heartbroken that the power he had worked so hard to cultivate was wiped out in one fell swoop, he was more concerned about his own safety than anything else. Hearing this, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay! Let's..."
Before he finished speaking, he stopped abruptly because a long sword was placed on his neck.
"Li Junjian! How dare you disrespect me?"
Shock!
The man with the iron mask's first feeling was shock. He never expected that this honest and honest mountain village boy who he had single-handedly promoted would betray him at this time!
Panic!
Thinking of what would happen if he fell into the hands of the imperial court, the man with the iron mask felt infinite fear in his heart!
Li Junxian, who finally found an opportunity to get close to the dragon head of the Tianlong Sect, didn't bother to explain to the man in the iron mask at this moment. He pinched the man in the iron mask's shoulder with one hand, pulled him in front of him, and then said loudly: "Stop! Everything!" Everyone, stop it!"
Quiet!
Li Junxian's voice filled with true energy spread to every corner of the battlefield, instantly. , with the Iron Masked Man and Li Junxian at the center, the Tianlong Sect soldiers and Yuchi Jingde's army who were fighting fiercely around them all fell silent at this moment, and everyone looked here in shock!
After a moment of silence, Meng Wuchang opened his mouth in surprise and said with some disbelief: "Junjian, you... are you from the imperial court?"
… … … … … … …
