Chapter 35

The ninth year of Wude, on the fourth day of June.

early morning.

Qin Lang saw that Xuanwu Gate was still closed, and his heart finally relaxed when he lifted it.

The beacon smoke was still burning on the city.

He sterned his mount.

The leopard head man stood up and screamed repeatedly.

Qin Lang raised his right hand high.

Qin Yong, Lao Huang, Wei Chang, Lin San, Liu Jiu and others stopped their mounts behind him, and more than a thousand people also slowed down and gradually stopped behind him.

"The Xuanwu Gate is still closed."

"But the beacon is burning on the top of the city."

"Look at this city, many people died from the imperial guards."

Although the soldiers and horses under the city head were all under the banner of the Tang Dynasty and were wearing the armor of the Tang Dynasty, there were still some subtle differences in different military robes. For example, the Emperor Yuan Cong’s Imperial Guards were the Emperor. They were not affiliated with the Twelve Guards and Four Mansions of the Nanya. Their military robes were inlaid with golden edges, which was very obvious.

The Liuru and Changlin soldiers of the Eastern Palace were inlaid with silver edges, as for the yellow edges of the Qi Palace and the black edges of the Qin Palace.

Those who fell to the ground were mostly the emperor of the imperial guards of the Beimen Tunying, who were inlaid with gold.

Qin Lang looked at the opposite side carefully immediately and finally concluded that although the Beimen Tun Camp soldiers who supported the Qin King had been defeated, the Eastern Palace and Qi Mansion soldiers won for a while, fortunately, Xuanwu Gate was still under the hands of the Qin King Party.

"Stop moving forward and array!"

Compared with those well-equipped Eastern Palace soldiers, Qi Mansion soldiers, and Qin Lang and others who rushed to the scene, the number of people was at a disadvantage, and the equipment was even more incomparable.

Qin Lang had no intention of rushing directly.

"Sanlang, I suggest you retreat for the time being. As long as we are staring behind, they will not be able to attack Xuanwu Sect with all our strength. We just need to hold on." Qin Yong suggested.

Liu Jiu held the golden sword and said disdainfully, "Just just as he was going to kill the generals, kill them, why are you going to retreat? Don't you know that you are all in one breath now. If you retreat, you will be afraid that there will be no morale and it will be difficult to fight." Liu Jiu has caused a rebellion and led his troops, and he knows that the group of people behind him are simply a temporary mob. Now that he retreats, he probably thinks he has been defeated and has no desire to fight anymore.

Qin Lang nodded.

"We don't retreat or attack, we're in this array. The shields are in front, the elders are fucked, the crossbows are in the middle, and the horses are protecting the wings."

Wei Chang looked at the group of people behind him who were holding various weapons and even their clothes were messy, and said worriedly, "The elite soldiers of the Eastern Palace, especially those Changlin soldiers, are many of them, the Iron Cavalry of Youzhou. If they rush, we are afraid that we will disintegrate."

"Your Highness's Xuan Armor Cavalry is nearby and will arrive soon. We just need to hold on for a while."

Although Qin Lang is young and vigorous, he is not stupid. The two generals, Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng, have fallen down. He does not think that the group of people behind him are more powerful than Emperor Yuancong. At least Emperor Yuan in terms of equipment is better and they are trained more adequately.

Under normal circumstances, Qin Lang should indeed lead his troops to retreat temporarily. But what Liu Jiu said makes sense. Such a mob can only move forward but not retreat, and once he retreats, he may collapse.

There is no problem in fighting a good-wind battle, but they can't bear the pressure.

Only stare here.

"Sir Wei, please let your brothers shout from behind, and say that the General of the Public Security Bureau of the Right Wu Houliang Kingdom will come to fight against the enemy under the order of the King of Qin, and ordered the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Palace and Qi Mansion to help the evil and the tiger to make trouble, and let them retreat quickly."

"Brother Lin, let your brothers shout from the other side, and say that the Gaozhizhong of Yongzhou came to serve the king under the order of the King of Qin!"

"Ah Huang, bring some people behind you and say that General Liu Gong, the Zuowuhou, is ordered to come to Jingyun!"

"Brother Yi, you have more than a dozen riders running around the formation and then you will talk about General Fengtianjie, General Left Guard, General Qin, Duke of Yiguo of the Shangzhu Kingdom, and come to calm the rebellion!"

······

After a while, various shouts came from Qin Lang.

Under Xuanwu Gate.

The three generals Xie Shufang, Feng Xu and Feng Li gathered together.

"The Right Wuhou General An Xinggui, the Left Wuhou General Liu Hongji, the Left Guard General Qin Qiong, and the Yongzhou General Gao Shilian..."

"Gao Shilian is the wife's uncle of the King of Qin. It's not surprising that he defected to the King of Qin, but why did An Xinggui and Liu Hongji defect to the King of Qin's Mansion?"

"Didn't Qin Qiong have already transferred to the prince?"

Several people looked at each other.

"An Xinggui has always been His Majesty's person, and Liu Hongji is also His Majesty's person."

"I think they have already fallen to the King of Qin in secret, otherwise how could these men pass by Fanglin Gate?" Xie Shufang frowned. The left and right Wu Hou Guards were responsible for Chang'an Imperial City, the outer city street patrols, and were responsible for the guards of various city gates. This is an extremely important position. The King of Qin had these two important positions earlier. His later generations chose An Xinggui and Liu Hongji to serve as the two. Unexpectedly, these two people had already voted for the King of Qin."

"What should I do now?" Feng Li asked worriedly.

"If they all turned to the King of Qin, they would be afraid that more soldiers would arrive soon."

Xie Shufang made his previous suggestions, but the Feng brothers refused.

"Then we can only fight. While they have new arrivals, their footholds are not stable, and there are not many people, we will divide our troops to kill them and destroy them."

Soon, the two sides agreed.

Xie Shufang led the troops of the King of Qi's mansion to attack the reinforcements of the King of Qin who arrived, and the Feng brothers led the Eastern Palace troops to continue to besiege Xuanwu Gate.

More than 1,500 soldiers from the Qi Palace were divided into three square formations and slowly rushed forward.

Xie Shufang rode a silver horse, held a silver spear, and wore silver armor.

He jumped in front of the horse formation and shouted loudly.

"I am the descendant of the champion general Xie Xianwu, and Xie Shufang, the left cavalry general of the Qi Prince's Mansion, who is opposite? How dare you report the name?"

The leopard sitting down was restlessly digging the ground. Qin Lang was wearing three layers of thick armor and also carrying a horse spear in his hand. "Who is Xie Xianwu?"

Qin Yong next to him replied, "Xie Xianwu was Xie Xuan, who formed the Northern Palace Army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and defeated the Former Qin army as a vanguard in the Battle of Feishui. He was the nephew of Xie An, the champion general, and was posthumously named Xianwu after his death. This Xie Shufang had surrendered to the King of Qi as soon as his majesty was about to rise up. He was the most powerful general under the King of Qi, so be careful."

Qin Yong stared at Xie Shufang in the distance, and his hand had already pressed on the two sledgehammers around his waist, and was very alert.

Liu Jiu held the big sword, "Follower Xie Xuan? It seems that he should have some skills, but I want to meet him." After saying that, he slapped his horse, and without waiting for Qin Lang's consent, he went to fight.

Qin Lang shook his head when he saw it. Why did these two armies fight together?

Liu Jiu rode his horse and raised his sword, and Uncle Xie shouted over there.

"Who is coming? Xie doesn't pick on the nameless person!"

Liu Jiu laughed, "You listen, grandpa is Liu Jiu, the prince of Lishihu, right!"

Uncle Xie sneered twice, "It turns out that you are a death row prisoner. I didn't expect to come out. Since you are looking for death, I will give you a trip!"

The two rode a horse and met each other, and the swords and spears intersected.

After a few rounds, there was no winner.

When you encounter a good talent, you will meet the opponent, and you will be unable to solve the problem.

Qin Lang looked at it with relish, "Do you think this Uncle Xie is very powerful?"

"Well, it's naturally worse than Alang, but it's not far away." Qin Yong nodded.

"I didn't expect that Liu Jiu was so fierce and he could tie the game with Uncle Xie, which means that he was also very good at martial arts."

Qin Yong said disapprovingly, "Liu Jiu'er only talks about martial arts, he is still above Xie Shufang, but he has been imprisoned for a long time and has not recovered. But as a general, martial arts is not the most important thing. If he is just a team of commanders charging into the battlefield, he will naturally be brave. But if he is a general, he needs more of the ability to command the commander, which is to arrange troops and make decisions on the occasion, and to seize the momentum of the fighter. In this regard, Liu Jiu is definitely not as good as Xie Shufang."

"I don't think so. If Uncle Xie is really smart, he wouldn't have fought here."

"Maybe Uncle Xie was just planning to kill the generals and seize the flag in front of the formation to boost morale, but I didn't expect Liu Jiu to be so powerful."

Xie Shufang fought with Liu Jiu for dozens of rounds, but when he could not kill the other party, he stopped entangling. He beat the horse back to his original formation, and then ordered the troops to slowly press forward.

Liu Jiu did not dare to rush to the spear step formation and came back from the horse.

"Damn it, this Uncle Xie has no seeds."

"Brother Liu has worked hard, let's go back and take a rest." Qin Lang praised Liu Jiu with a smile and praised him several times.

"Brother Yi, how long will it take for the Xuanjia Knight to arrive?" He smiled bitterly at Qin Yi with some confidence, "I'm afraid we won't last long."

"General Zhai Changsun commanded 500 Xuanjia Cavalry and 1,000 Tiance's personal soldiers. He should be not far away from here, and he should be here soon." Qin Yong could only say this. Zhai Changsun was one of the four initial commanders of the Xuanjia Cavalry. After the establishment of the Xuanjia Cavalry, the four commanders were Qin Qiongcheng Yaojin Yuchi Jingde and Zhai Changsun.

Qin Qiong secretly sent Zhai Changsun to unify one thousand five hundred people from the Weishui camp, which was the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

But the war has been ignited for a long time and I haven't seen you.

Suddenly, Qin Yong shut up and pricked up his ears to listen carefully. Finally, he jumped off the horse, took off the quiver and placed it on the ground, and then put his ear on it to listen.

"You hear, there are soldiers and horses marching nearby, and they are cavalrymen, running at least five hundred, and they are very close to this place."

"Is it the Xuan Armored Cavalry?" Qin Lang was excited.

The Xuanjia Cavalry was an elite cavalry unit founded by Li Shimin, who was conquering the world for the Tang Dynasty. When Li Shimin fought, he wore Xuanjia as a vanguard in every battle. He was wearing Xuanjia as a vanguard, and he was in every direction and could often defeat the enemy ten times more than he had.

Xuanjia Cavalry is a light cavalry wearing black armor and riding a black war horse, which is the selection of the cavalry among the cavalry. The Xuanjia Cavalry is the best choice among all the troops. The cavalry is the ambush and assault. Whether it is flanking assault or frontal impact, the offensive is like fire and unstoppable.

Qin Lang picked up the horse spear and said, "Send the order, Xuanjia cavalry is coming, Tiance's personal soldiers are coming, the time for victory is here!"

"Prepare to charge!"

The earth was shaking, from a slight vibration to a more and more violent vibration.

In the northwest direction, a dark tide emerged.

As soon as it appeared, it was like a gust of wind swaying dark clouds and attacking wildly.

Black battle flag, black armor, black war horse, black paint gun!

"Xuanjia Knight!"

The five hundred cavalry and light cavalry suddenly appeared and suddenly rushed out. At this time, the soldiers of the Eastern Palace were attacking Xuanwu Gate, while the soldiers of the King of Qi turned around and pressed Qin Lang's troops.

The five hundred Xuanjia Cavalry led by Zhai Changsun happened to cut in between the East Palace and the Qi Mansion Army. They directly selected the Qi Mansion Army of Xie Shufang's troops to directly select the attack target.

Covered the Qi army from behind and attacked.

Qin Lang laughed loudly and waved his spear to order the entire army to attack.

The two armies attacked each other forward and the Qianwu Qi Mansion soldiers were in trouble with the enemy in their abdomen. What's even more terrible is that they had just fought with the Tunying camp, and at this time they were also tired. When they encountered the Xuanjia cavalry who had completely charged, they were blocked by Qin Lang's troops in front, and they could not advance or retreat for a while.
