758 Battle for Power 8
"The rebels used a large number of siege tower carts, which caused heavy casualties to Sergeant Habayashi. Then they used a long ladder to climb up from the palace wall in the distance. Although General Zhao blocked it with all his strength, he was finally lost and let the rebels. Seized the North Gate."
After hearing this, Yuan Jaw bowed to Li Longji and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will now take people to regain the North Gate."
Li Longji didn't speak, waved his hand and let Yuan Ja go. A sense of powerlessness makes Li Longji seem very lonely. He is the emperor, and he thinks that the arrangement is quite appropriate. How could he have thought that it will be like this now, and only a few people from Yuan Jaw and Shen Mingzhong are left in his hands. He really hasn't counted what will happen next.
"Li Shi, what was wrong with me? Why are all thieves in the Manchuria? And my son, why do they think about my early death!"
Hearing this, Gao Lishi had to persuade him: "Your Majesty, you can no longer say such things. Although the situation is urgent now, the old slave believes that there will be other forbidden troops coming soon. As for other things, your Majesty must not be too much. miss you."
"Why don't you ask me not to think too much about it, could it be that I really did something wrong? God wants to punish me like this!"
It’s really hard for Gao Lishi to pick up these words. Li Longji obviously said that it was his sons, Prince Ying, and Li Heng. The two princes conspired to rebel. This is not a fact that ordinary people can accept, even if Li The same is true for Longi.
On Yuan Ja's side, when he had just passed the Nanxun Hall with more than 500 internal guards, he saw that the rebels had already rushed here. The inner defenders are not afraid of these people, and they only make it difficult to move forward with the bow and arrow in their hands. The contact time between the two parties was very short, and the attacking right-back rebels were repelled. They had not many people, and they were comparable to the inner defenders, with fewer archers, and not as good as each other in close-range combat, so what? It was its opponent, who withdrew after leaving half of the lives.
Although the north gate has been opened, it is still difficult for the rebels to make a difference under the counterattack of Yuan Jai and others. Yuan Jai is also very clever. He will not fight for the palace gate, but just guards the imperial garden in the distance. , Whenever the rebels attack, they can always rely on the terrain and trees to defeat the enemy.
Procrastination is the right reason. In this regard, the internal guards all have a clear understanding. If they really want to say they are desperate, they are not afraid, because they are afraid that the rebels will not be willing to exchange their lives.

Shengyefang, Prince's Mansion, Xue Qilian sent people to report, and asked Li Heng to transfer all of his people over for reinforcements. After all, there are nearly 2,000 people from Tong Lihui and more than 1,000 people from Prince Weiwei. At this time , These three thousand reinforcements seem extremely important.
Li Heng did not hesitate and agreed to reinforcements, but Du Hongjian asked the people who came to ask for help: "What is the situation in Xingqing Palace now?"
"The north gate has already been taken, but it was strongly blocked by the inner guard, and progress was slow. Outside the south gate, the Longwu army and the inner guard attacked together. Our army was fighting with it and suffered heavy losses. The original attackers on the west gate also turned to the south gate. Without reinforcements, Simon’s offense will be difficult to sustain."
"How about the casualties of the Longwu Army?"
"Nearly half of the casualties."
Until then, Du Hongjian smiled and said: "It seems that as long as the reinforcements arrive, it won't be a problem to win the Xingqing Palace."
Later, Li Heng gave orders to Tong Lihui, Liu Fang and Wang Xun to give them all reinforcements. People have been dispatched, but Li Heng has been uncomfortable, a little excited and worried.
Du Hongjian could see Li Heng's current situation naturally. He said: "His Royal Highness, don't be impatient. When there is good news, your Highness can go there in person."
Xingqing Palace is indeed a bit sad. Chen Xuanli’s Longwu Army is now suffering more and more casualties. There are countless injuries, and there are still less than half of them. If the internal guards led by Chen Fan are not strong enough, , And it was a long shot, I am afraid it will not be much better, because they also lost dozens of people. New Bayi Chinese website debut
Yuan Jai’s life is also difficult here. The Right Guards mobilized some archers and kerosene, and they all put rockets. Originally, they could hide themselves by the dark night, but now, don’t mention hiding. They can’t stand the fire alone. , If no reinforcements come, they will not be able to support here.
At the same time, the massacre at Ying Wang's Mansion was coming to an end in the entrance to Yuanfang. When Qi Lan killed his wife and children in front of Li Yong, he completely broke down. As the prince, when did he see such bloody scenes
Looking at Li Wan who was crying and crying, Qi Lan smiled softly at the corner of his mouth and said, "This is what your Li family owes. How many people are ruined, and how many people die. This is God’s punishment. Today I will help them together. Ask for it."
When Qi Lan approached and put the sword on Li Wan's neck, she saw that Li Wan, who was crying and trembling, was so scared to pee her pants, she then smiled and said coldly: "This is the so-called dragon son? What a joke."
As soon as the voice fell, a sword sealed his throat, and Li Wan's eyes were still apathetic until he died. Perhaps this was a relief for him.
Dai Hao and Qi Lan's mission is considered complete, and now, they dare not go out. The outside is very chaotic. If they meet the Prince's rebels, they will be miserable. When You Weiwei and Zuo Wuwei arrive, they can go out anytime, and now they can only wait, but they all know that it won't be long.
Yongjiafang, on the top of the attic of the back house of the Qing Palace, Yuan Qi stood on it, looking at the Xingqing Palace in the distance, and said to Wen Boyang beside him: “I didn’t expect that the emperor’s layout was so vulnerable. I'm asking you to assassinate Li You, ha ha, it seems really unnecessary. It is estimated that we have dug this tunnel in vain."
Regarding the current situation, Yuan Qi does not know why this is the case. At the beginning, his opinion was that Li Heng had absolutely no strength to break the Xingqing Palace, so he thought of letting Wen Boyang assassinate Li You, so as to reduce the difficulty of Li Heng and also make it possible. Lose fewer people on your own side. Including him asking people to dig tunnels, but also to make a concerted effort after Li Heng's attack failed.
But what I never expected was that Li Heng would besiege Xingqing Palace so easily, and it seemed that he was about to succeed. This is what he couldn’t understand. After all, one Wei Yu Linwei plus two Dragon Martial Arms, and a two-thousand-man Zuo Xiaowei in the city, this is nearly 20,000 people, and Li Long's body There are also his own pro-honor Yiwei and the inner defender of the wing, no matter how they are considered to be defeated.
"Commander, this is indeed somewhat different from what you expected, but no matter what, judging by the current situation, it is a big advantage for us. No matter who wins, we can easily defeat it."
"Boyang, everything is careful, there is nothing bad, judging from the power we control now, it is still insufficient, and there is no extra time for us. We must be faster later. But when the army of You Weiwei and Zuo Wuwei arrives, you will let me enter the palace."
"Yes, commander, but the prince's side?"
"Cai Chongde will do this well, he won't survive tonight, hehe, I'm afraid he won't even have an hour." (End of this chapter)
