Chapter 426

The thunderous sound of hoofbeats, the neighing of war horses, and the roar of mountains and tsunami echoed again.

Guan Chong, who was struggling to mobilize his troops and generals with the intention of stopping the army from disintegrating, heard the roar and the sound of cavalry coming from far behind him.

When there was no longer any hesitation, he turned the horse's head, led the dozens of mounted henchmen, turned the horse's head, and fled toward the southwest without looking back.

With the disappearance of the coach, coupled with the ferocity and bravery of the Sui army's cavalry, as well as the court reinforcements galloping from a distance, the rebel army outside the palace city finally collapsed...

Trapped in the palace with no hope of escape, Liu Thief's soldiers and horses began a frantic counterattack, killing the county soldiers and palace guards as they retreated step by step.

Wang Shichong's face was livid, and he watched helplessly as those traitor soldiers went crazy, regardless of casualties, intending to kill both sides, causing heavy casualties to the county soldiers and palace guards.

Yang Qian led his cavalry and rushed to the bottom of the long ladder. His subordinates, who were highly skilled in archery, frequently drew their bows and drove away the thieves who intended to destroy the long ladder.

He had also heard the thunderous sound of hoofbeats coming from the east, and was the first to jump off his horse.

With a wave of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, he directly knocked away the two thieves blocking the way, and then rushed towards the long ladder in large strides.

The swords thrown down from the ladder were all pulled away by Yang Qian and bounced away. Under the repeated bows of Zhili, Li Shimin, Duan Shizi and others, they scattered the thieves guarding the top of the long ladder.

And Luo Shixin, a tall and powerful young man, roared angrily and actually climbed to the top of the city one step faster than Yang Qian.

The iron gun in his hand swept across like a long stick, driving away the incoming weapons.

Yang Qian climbed halfway up and saw a burly armored man in front of him holding a mace high above his head with a ferocious face.

His hair immediately exploded. Damn it, you want to mess with me? Without thinking, he roared and threw the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand as a flying knife.

Both above and below the city, countless people were stunned to see the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in Yang Qian's hand turn into a white light.

It crossed the sky and directly sliced ​​off the head of the armored man and one of his arms.

But the heavy mace had no chance to be used, and it hit the palace wall directly.

"Master, that's awesome! Look at me." Seeing this scene, Hou Junji, who was so excited that he couldn't help himself, shouted loudly, and followed the same example with the Yanyue Sword in his hand.

Then, I saw a flash of sword skill, and then a streak of sparks was brought up on the wall of the palace, and then...

The knife was knocked upside down and flew back. If there was no one below, this would definitely be an example of accidentally killing the opponent.

"..." Yang Qian glared at this bastard with a dark face. After all, I have practiced with a big sword. If you haven't practiced with it, why don't you throw it around?

Pulling out the Bi Luo Dao at his waist, Yang Qian jumped onto the palace wall and joined the battle group. Every time he swung the Bi Luo Bao Dao in his hand, he would break through the armor of the thieves and cut deeply into their limbs.

The blood he brought up, together with the light of the sword, was once again splashed onto the next opponent.

More and more people rushed to the palace wall, surrounded by this powerful new force.

The palace guards who fought hard on the top of the city teamed up with Yang Qian and others to drive the remaining thieves off the palace wall.

With the addition of fresh troops, and the fires raging east and west in the southwest direction of the palace, the area in the southwest corner was finally as bright as day.

Under such a view, the Sui army, which already had an advantage in terms of military strength, and with the addition of new troops, had an increasing advantage.

In the end, less than two hundred thieves were surrounded and forced into a corner to resist.

And this is a blind spot, and these two hundred thieves are wearing iron armor, so it is really difficult to kill the enemy in one moment.

Yang Qian stood outside the blind corner with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword he had recovered, and behind him stood a group of archers armed with crossbows.

Looking at the thieves huddled inside, with expressions and eyes full of despair and madness, Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him to surrender, he saw Lieutenant Zhao hurried over, and then lowered his voice and whispered the report into Yang Qian's ear.

"The palace supervisor ordered that anyone who breaks into the palace tonight, regardless of whether they surrender or not, will be killed and no one will be left alive."

"What?!" Yang Qian turned his head sharply and saw Wang Shichong carrying the bloody ring-headed long knife and rushing towards this direction with extremely corrupt righteousness.

"Yang Jianjun, thank you very much for Yang Jianjun and his troops who came to the rescue in time. Otherwise, your Majesty's Jiangdu Palace may not be able to be saved."

After rushing to the front, Wang Shichong looked at it and quickly threw the bloody ring sword in his hand to the soldiers beside him, saluted Yang Qian, and showed a look of gratitude on his face.

"It doesn't matter, Yang is just doing his duty. I heard that the palace supervisor intends to execute all the thieves who rush into the palace?"

"Of course, these gangs of people who have brought disaster to the country and the people dare to destroy His Majesty's palace, and they will not be punished."

Looking at Wang Shichong, he looked like he wanted to kill all the thieves by himself.

Yang Qian, who already had a clear calculation in his mind, slowly shook his head.

"Even if the crime cannot be punished, it cannot be so violent. Anyone who surrenders should be detained first and be executed after being severely tried and convicted."

Hearing Yang Qian's stubborn and insistent voice, Wang Shichong's heart skipped a beat. He suppressed the fear in his heart, forced a laugh twice, and saluted Yang Qian in a low voice.

"Yang Jianjun, I have already given the order, please give me some face, otherwise I will not be able to convince the public in the future."

Yang Qian bowed slightly apologetically to Wang Shichong and shook his head slowly but firmly.

"I am the supervisor of the Jiangnan Province. I have the right to monitor punishments, rewards, and report violations."

Seeing Yang Qian's persistence, Wang Shichong's smile gradually stiffened.

"Yang Jianjun, why do you have such a high status? I am doing this for the sake of the court's face."

"Yang would not dare to disregard national and military laws for the sake of face or human feelings." Yang Qian retorted flatly.

"Then please remember, Supervisor Yang, that this is the Jiangdu Palace, and as Jiangdu County Prime Minister and Jiangdu Palace Supervisor, I have the right to handle all affairs here."

"I also hope that Supervisor Yang can take these heinous thieves into my hands for the sake of us all being courtiers."

"It seems that the palace supervisor is threatening me?" Yang Qian laughed, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand, which was soaked in blood from the blade, hit the ground heavily.

The tail of the sword sank directly into the ground a few inches, and he looked at the suddenly shorter Qinglong Yanyue Sword and the armored elites who were surrounding him with unkind expressions.

Wang Shichong's face couldn't help but look a little more ugly.

The thieves in the blind spot also heard the exchange between the two men. At this moment, the thieves who knew they would die did not expect that Yang Qian would still stand on their side and fight Wang Shichong.

A complex emotion spread among these thieves. Rather than wanting to die quickly, no matter who they were, they probably wouldn't want to die immediately.

At this moment, a loud shout rang out among the thieves.

"The reason why we came to attack the palace was because of the order of the palace supervisor named Wang."

"!!!"
