At this moment, Xue Rengui was covered in blood and his long hair was dispersed, like a god of killing, which was shocking. When Lunzhu Renzeng saw him rushing towards him, he was so scared that he quickly pulled his horse back and shouted: "Hurry, protect me!" The guards rushed forward when they heard the sound, blocking Xue Rengui's way.

"Looking for death!" Xue Rengui roared sharply and rushed forward. Fang Tian's painting halberd was slammed and directly penetrated a guard and a shield, lifted it on the top of the halberd, and smashed it hard towards the guard crowd. The three guards were smashed and turned over. Xue Rengui was constantly coming, and he swung his long halberd and killed three people in an instant. All the enemies he encountered were dropped. In front of him, there was no general who could join him.

Xue Rengui's powerful force and momentum were shocking, and the central guards were so scared that they retreated one after another. Lun Zhu Renzeng had already rode his horse north and wanted to escape. Xue Rengui was blocked by several guards for a while. When he turned to look, he found that Lun Zhu Renzeng had fled more than 80 meters away. Xue Rengui hurriedly took down the iron-backed bow, bent his bow and arrow, and aimed at Lun Zhu Renzeng.

"Come on!" Xue Rengui shouted fiercely, and only a "buzzing" sound of bowstrings was heard. Lun Zhu Renzeng screamed and fell to the ground and started to wail. An arrow made of steel pierced his right shoulder, making him unable to move.

Seeing this, the guards came to rescue him one after another, but the Xuanjia Army had already rushed up and dispersed it. Xue Rengui grabbed the horse's belly and stepped forward. Fang Tian painted the halberd until Lunzhu Renzeng. Lunzhu Renzeng watched Xue Rengui's long halberd come and screamed in despair.

With a muffled sound, Xue Rengui's Fang Tianhuajian pierced into Lun Zhurenzeng's chest, and hot blood rushed out, and it was steaming in the cold weather. Lun Zhurenzeng's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. His mouth opened several times, but in the end he could not make any sound, his head slowly dropped and he died.

"The enemy chief is executed!" Xue Rengui roared loudly, and at the same time he picked up a spear, lifting Lun Zhurenzeng's body high in the air. Seeing this, the Xuanjia Army immediately cheered like thunder, waving Mo Dao and massacred the Tubo army even more crazily.

Li Yuanzhong at Xuanwu Gate looked at the battle outside the city and shouted excitedly: "Hurry! Open the city gate and help General Xue with one arm! Destroy the enemy!"

Xuanwu Gate slowly opened and more than 3,000 Jinwu Guards rushed out. The Tubo army, which was already at a disadvantage, had no intention of fighting anymore and fled everywhere. The Jinwu Guards and Xuanjia Army rode their horses and attacked everywhere, killing all these Tubo troops without leaving any survivors.

Finally, the 10,000 Tubo army outside Xuanwu Gate was destroyed. At this time, a cavalry suddenly rushed over and held up a military order from afar and shouted: "Military order is here!"

When he got closer, the messenger turned over and dismounted. Xue Rengui went up to meet him and took Li Hao's order. He saw that it said: "Sorry Xue Rengui to lead his army into Tai Chi Palace, leave from Chengtian Gate, and take the Zhuque Gate!"

Xue Rengui was shocked when he heard this and was immediately ecstatic. Li Hao planned to cooperate with the inside and outside to take down the Tubo army, but he frowned again. It was nearly four miles from Chengtian Gate to Zhuque Gate. The Tubo army was now in the imperial city. If they wanted to pass through the imperial city and open the Zhuque Gate, they would inevitably be obstructed by the Tubo army. The resistance was extraordinary. This was a difficult task. He didn't understand why Li Hao was so anxious. Now the Tubo army was trapped in the imperial city, like a turtle in a jar. They could wait for another day or two. When Li Ji's 50,000 army arrived, and then attacked again, they could easily take down the Tubo army.

At this time, the messenger said: "General Xue, the marshal asks his subordinates to tell you that in half an hour, Li Guocheng will bring five thousand troops to help you take down the Zhuque Gate together. The marshal also said that the current battle situation is urgent, please follow the military orders quickly."

Li Yuanzhong also said from the side: "General Xue, it's not too late. You can quickly lead troops into Tai Chi Palace. The Tubo army is attacking Tai Chi Palace. Now there are only 8,000 people on the three walls, and it seems that they can't last long."

Xue Rengui nodded, no wonder Li Hao was so anxious. There were only more than 8,000 people in the three city walls south of Tai Chi Palace, which could be said to be in danger, so he immediately led a 5,000 army into Xuanwu Gate.

Geerdongzan is now blocked by Li Hao in the imperial city, and is in a dilemma. Since he has become a turtle in the jar, he decided to burn his jade and stones and ordered a crazy attack on Tai Chi Palace. Now the Tang army, which has less than 10,000 Tai Chi Palace, is really in danger. Although Li Hao is restrained outside the imperial city, it cannot hinder Geerdongzan's determination to take over Tai Chi Palace.

Upon hearing this, Xue Rengui hurriedly took the Xuanjia Army through Xuanwu Gate to the Daming Palace, and then came from the Daming Palace to the Tai Chi Palace.

When Li Shimin learned that Xue Rengui was leading troops from Xuanwu Gate, he was overjoyed and came to meet Xue Rengui in person. After Xue Rengui saw Li Shimin, he immediately saluted: "My minister Xue Rengui, please see the emperor."

"General Xue, don't be too polite!" Li Shimin was in a good mood and felt that his condition had been a little lighter. He smiled, "General Xue is really the time to come."

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "I am ashamed. I am late to save the emperor, which scared the emperor."

"Where do you say?" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "General Xue is coming just right. If the enemy was not in front of him, I would definitely drink a drink with General Xue!"

Xue Rengui bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to drink after drinking the Tubo barbarians. The Tubo army is attacking the Taiji Palace. The war is urgent. I have military orders and dare not delay any further. I will go to the enemy immediately. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"

"Well, the military orders are like mountains, you go first." Li Shimin waved his hand, "This group of barbarians like my Chang'an so much, General Xue, just let them stay in Chang'an forever!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui loudly accepted the order and led the five thousand Xuanjia troops to quickly rush to Chengtian Gate.

Looking at the army led by Xue Rengui, Li Shimin narrowed his eyes and pondered: "This army is so powerful. Even when I see it, I feel a chill on my back. Which army is the one who is the king?"

Li Yuanzhong, who was standing by, hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is the king-supporting force brought by Xue Rengui from Qiongnan. It is said that the King of Qiongnan Li Hao improved the military training methods and paid heavy funds to build the Modao Iron Shield..."

Li Shimin's heart sank when he heard this, frowned and said, "Are you talking about Li Hao training a large army privately?"

At this sensitive time, when Li Shimin heard this news, he felt his heart sinking to the bottom. Li Yuanzhong hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, General Xue said that these armies were trained by the court. King Qiongnan only offered new military training methods to the governor Cui Peng and General Xue. As for donating funds to build the Modao Iron Shield, it was because he had to deal with the natives of Qiongnan at that time, and the prefectures and counties in Qiongnan were short of weapons, so King Qiongnan was not selfish."

"I hope this is the case." Li Shimin sighed lightly, still frowning. After a while, he slowly said, "Transfer my will to seal Xuanwu Gate and stop letting you in again."

Li Yuanzhong was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to tell Li Shimin that Li Hao had 5,000 troops ready to pass through Xuanwu Gate, but he did not dare to disobey the sacred order, so he could only hold his fists and nod: "Abide by the order."

Li Hao, outside the imperial city, set up a temporary tent two miles outside the Zhuque Gate. At this moment, the army was sieging the city and shooting arrows on the city walls. He brought 40,000 cavalry, and the cavalry's ability to attack the city was not very strong. He also knew that just a few people would be unable to break the imperial city. After all, there was more than 60,000 Tubo army in the imperial city.

He had his own plans in his mind. He was only responsible for restraining the Tubo army's troops outside the city, so that Lu Dongzan could not attack the Taiji Palace with all his strength. The Xuanjia Army was the key to his victory. He had sent Li Guocheng to lead the 5,000 Xuanjia Army around the Xuanwu Gate. As long as Li Guocheng's 5,000 Xuanjia Army and Xue Rengui's 5,000 Xuanjia Army entered the Taiji Palace and entered the imperial city from Chengtian Gate, the power of the 10,000 Xuanjia Army was extraordinary and could definitely easily capture the Zhuque Gate. As long as the Zhuque Gate opened, it would be Lu Dongzan's death.

The catapult cart and the crossbow were only launched every once in a while, because there were not many arrows and stones, and they had to stay at the last critical moment to break the city. What he had to do now was to restrain him, and he would constrain the 40,000 Tubo army on the city wall, and only 20,000 troops attacked the Tai Chi Palace.

The Tubo army was hitting Chengtian Gate with a rushing car. Chengtian Gate was tall and thick, and it was not easy to break open. Suddenly, Chengtian Gate opened, not the one that was opened, but the Chengtian Gate itself.

The Tubo army was about to cheer, but the next second was stunned. After the Chengtian Gate opened, they saw that the city gate corridor was densely filled with iron shields, like a cold iron wall.

"Kill!" Xue Rengui's roar came, and the sound of hooves thundered. Five thousand Xuanjia troops rushed out of Chengtian Gate like a craziness, causing the Tubo army in front of the city gate to pieces. Without a single knife, hundreds of Tubo soldiers were trampled into meat mud by iron hooves.

As soon as the Xuanjia Army entered the imperial city, it was like destroying the Xuanjia Army in the imperial city, submerging all the Xuanjia Army in the imperial city. After all the Xuanjia Army rushed out of Chengtian Gate, Chengtian Gate slowly closed again.

Chengtian Gate is four miles away from Zhuque Gate. There is a straight and wide road in the middle, nearly ten feet wide, with tall walls and palaces on both sides, and there is no fork. Some people call this road "Tongtian Dao". This name is very appropriate. After all, it is the road that directly leads to Chengtian Gate. Or, through this road, you can see the emperor. Isn't the emperor the heaven?

Xue Rengui led the five thousand Xuanjia Army to run along the Tongtian Road, and immediately encountered a large number of Tubo troops blocking it.

"Spear!" Xue Rengui shouted loudly, and saw that all the Xuanjia Army rode horses to change their formations. While changing the formation, everyone raised their iron shields to block the Tubo Army's arrow rain. Soon, their formation had been changed. They were like a sharp spear and stabbed straight towards the Tubo Army. With just one attack, thousands of Tubo Army were washed overturned. Some died under horse hooves, and some were cut off their necks and chests by sharp Mo knife. When the Xuanjia Army passed by, only nearly a hundred Tubo Army left in the place were still standing. The others either turned into corpses or fell to the ground and struggled and screamed. Blood gathered into a stream, dyeing the stone roads of the imperial city into bright red.
