759 Fight for Power 9
Here in Xingqing Palace, after reinforcements joined, they did not attack Ximen, but turned to South Gate because they wanted to destroy Long Wuwei here. Once Long Wuwei was eliminated, they did not enter Xingqing Palace. What is blocking. The remaining internal guards and the emperor's army were not afraid at all, after all, they did not have many people.
While all parties were fighting hard, Li You finally walked into the tunnel chamber under the rockery in the backyard of Shuiyun Pavilion. At that time, in order not to affect the excavation and reinforcement, he deliberately dug an inner chamber with mud and masonry underneath. The digging was not small, and it is now just used to gather manpower.
When the oil lamp here was lit, Li You said, "Qin Feng, you stay and wait for Anzi and the others, and Shen Han and I will take someone up to have a look."
"Young Master, should I take someone up?"
Li You looked at him with a smile and said, "There is no danger here. You don't need to go. If you are lucky, you may not need to come up. Shen Han, take your people with me."
After speaking, Li You and Shen Han went up the stairs. When they came to the exit of the rockery, Li You asked Shen Han, "When you built this place, did you do concealment? Don't let us go out. I met people."
"Young Master, don't worry, it will be the back of the rockery after going out, and there will be no one."
After that, Shen Han opened the tunnel exit. With this opening, you could hear the sound of killing outside. Although the sound was not very loud, you could still hear how intense the fighting outside was. Li You took the lead to go out, only to realize that this place is indeed very hidden, and most people would never come here to check it.
Li You climbed up the rockery on the side, looked at the situation outside and confirmed that there was no one, before he greeted Shen Han and the others filed out. When Li You came to the pavilion, he also stopped to look at Shuiyun Pavilion. He felt a little more relieved when he saw the lights in the pavilion. Then he led people to the front yard of Shuiyun Pavilion. Judging from the current situation, there should be no guards in the Shuiyun Pavilion. It is estimated that there is no problem with the people he brought with him.
Outside the south gate of Xingqing Palace, Chen Xuanli and Chen Pi really couldn't hold on, so they had to retreat into Xingqing Palace in order to rely on the palace garden to organize an effective defense. They had no way to stop them outside. The opponent brought a large amount of kerosene to project them. In addition to this, they also used a shield car. With the shield car blocking, the heavy crossbowmen really took the heavy crossbow. The power of the people has been exerted to the extreme, if they don't retreat, I am afraid they will not survive.
Although fewer than 1,500 people have retreated from here today, in any case, they have also caused nearly 4,000 casualties of the rebels despite fighting more with less, which is pretty good. Otherwise, Xue Qilian Nor will Lee Hengga send troops over.
Inside the Jiaotai Hall, Chen Bian took his inner guard back here. Seeing Chen Bian's return, Li Longji quickly asked, "Chen Bian, what's the situation outside now?"
Chen Fan bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there are nearly 10,000 rebels outside the South Gate. In addition, they used kerosene. We and the Longwu Army are really unable to resist. We have to retreat. Now General Chen is leading the Longwu Army. Temporarily resist outside the Qinzheng Main Office Building, and later they will retreat to the Chenxiang Pavilion and organize another line of defense. The minister's return is to allow His Majesty to settle down in Ninghe Hall."
Li Longji pointed at Chen Fan with an iron face and said angrily: "Chen Xuanli'an dares to retreat, so he won't be afraid that I will cut him off, and your internal guards, are you all the people who are greedy for life and fear of death? , Will you let me go to Ninghe Palace again?"
Ning Hedian has not been used since Tai Ziying's rebellion, and no one has lived there for several years. Li Longji has never been there anymore. He almost died there last time. Now Chen Biao told him to retreat to Ning. Hedian, he is definitely unwilling and will never go. This is just something that Chen Ping did not expect. Chen Ping did not think of it. It does not mean that Gao Lix could not think of it. Now the situation is urgent, and the external rescue does not know when to come and go back. It is naturally a good choice to delay time.

"Your Majesty, if you don't retreat to Shuiyun Pavilion, let Chen Fan and the others defend Ninghe Palace, this can at least extend the time."
Just after Gao Lishi finished speaking, Chen Ping said again: "Your Majesty, there are only a thousand people left in the Right Dragon Martial Guard led by General Chen. I'm afraid they won't be able to resist it for long. If your Majesty doesn't leave, they will go No more."
"You..." Li Longji was really speechless, so he pointed at Chen Fan.
"The saint calm down, no matter what, it's better to retreat for the time being. Come here and drive the Shuiyun Pavilion." After Gao Lishi shouted through his throat, he was ready to help Li Longji away.
Seeing this, Chen Pi hurriedly retreated and took the people to defend outside Ninghe Hall. At this time, Yuan Jaw, who had been defending the north gate of the Imperial Garden, also slowly brought people to the Ninghe Hall. He had no choice but to turn the Imperial Garden into a sea of flames and couldn't stay at all.
When Chen Pi saw that Yuan Ja and Fang Ting were bringing people here, he stepped forward and asked, "Lord Yuan, what's the situation with you?"
Yuan Jaw came to Chen Fan and said helplessly: "The rebels seized the armory and were dealing with us with kerosene. Look over there. Such a large fire was caused by kerosene. Fang Ting and I had to go here. Retreat."
"I thought it was bad luck for us. It seems that it may be difficult to keep here. The Longwu Army has suffered a great loss. I am afraid that if we play another game or two, it is our turn to fight for the inner defender." Chen Fan just said this. After that, in the distance, Li Longji came here with a group of court ladies and eunuchs.
Yuan Jai hurried forward to pay him a visit. Li Longji now saw Yuan Jai who was also here. At this point, he knew that Ninghedian might really be the last line of defense. New Bayi Chinese website first released https://https://
"Yuan Jai, now this is the place for you. You must guard this place and don't let the rebels pass the Ninghe Temple."
Yuan Jaw bowed and said: "Please be relieved, your majesty, the minister will stay here and will not let anyone go."
Li Longji then said to Shen Mingzhong: "You also leave defenses and guards. I only leave a hundred people."
Ninghe Temple is not far from the Shuiyun Pavilion, and it is still adjacent, so Li Longji naturally does not need to bring a large number of guards, let them guard here in Ninghe Temple, in order to truly play their role. As a result, there are still thousands of people in Ninghe Temple. If you really fight, you can at least stand it up for a while.
Shen Mingzhong is very clear about how precarious the situation is now, knowing that his own people and the defenders are the last hope, and he also knows Li Longji's intention to make this decision, so he naturally promised.
Afterwards, Li Longji said loudly to everyone: "You and your heart, if today's crisis is solvable, I will definitely reward you."
Although the promise at this time seems very boring, but for Li Longji, he thinks it is necessary, which will help boost morale. After saying this, he took a hundred guards to the Shuiyun Pavilion aside. (End of this chapter)
