Chapter 65: The Emperor Is Surrounded
The little eunuch who was picked up was forced to look at Yan Qing. Those deep and dark black eyes were like an abyss. Looking into it, he felt that three souls and seven souls were being sucked in. His limbs were so cold and stiff that he could not move.
The little eunuch's mind went blank, he was already frightened.
"Did something happen in the palace?"
The hoarse tone was like the whisper of an evil spirit, which made the little eunuch tremble all over and suddenly came back to his senses.
Only then did the little eunuch realize that he was not being carried and suspended in the air as he had imagined. His feet were still stepping on the solid ground. The evil-looking man in front of him was only holding his back collar to keep him away.
Yu just continued to crawl on the ground.
The down-to-earth feeling made the little eunuch feel at ease, and his panicked heart also calmed down.
At this time, they were standing under a brazier, and the light was much brighter. The little eunuch who calmed down took a closer look and realized that the evil ghost he thought just now was actually Yan Qing!
The little eunuch's eyes suddenly widened, and he grabbed Yan Qing's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw: "General Yan! Go and save the Holy Lord!"
Yan Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, and the vague worries in his heart were instantly confirmed.
Looking at it from a distance, Yan Qing felt that this little eunuch looked familiar.
After rescuing the man and taking a closer look, Yan Qing recognized him immediately - this was the man who was working with An Ning during the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. He might not be considered to be the emperor's confidant, but he was definitely the emperor's person.
At that time, she had a vague feeling that something was not good. At this time, the little eunuch shouted out, immediately confirming Yan Qing's suspicion.
Yan Qing's breath was stagnant, and he quickly asked: "Where is the Holy One now? How many people are there on the other side?"
The little eunuch was confused by the question, but his mind was still racing: "Xinde Hall! The Holy Lord is now in the Xinde Hall! Vice Commander Xue rebelled, and Commander Wang led people to protect the Holy Lord and the Queen. I took advantage of the chaos and ran away
Came out to report the news!"
The young eunuch couldn't tell how many people there were, but he just told Yan Qing everything he knew.
Yan Qing took the young eunuch to the garrison under the city tower and was about to summon his brothers who were still alive to rescue him when he saw Wen Zhehan coming with a group of troops.
As soon as Yan Qing saw this battle, he stopped recruiting people, and quickly asked Hongzhuang to gather his troops in order, and then he met Wen Zhehan.
The little eunuch's voice was loud before. The palace road was empty and the voice was amplified during this period. Wen Zhehan must have heard about the emperor's siege.
When the emperor was surrounded, it was a great achievement for those who came to rescue him.
If Wen Zhehan led the troops there in person, it would naturally deepen the emperor's trust in him to a great extent.
Yan Qing didn't know if Wen Zhehan had this plan when he came with his troops.
If so, I'm afraid Wen Zhehan is coming here just to explain his defense of the city.
Looking at the soldiers behind Wen Zhehan, Yan Qing roughly estimated that there were about a thousand people.
Although the Suzaku Gate is a key defensive point, other city gates still need to be guarded against danger. In addition, it is impossible for the emperor to leave people around, so after the 30,000 Yulin Army was allocated, the Suzaku Gate only had more than 4,000 people.
It’s all because of the city’s high walls, thick walls, and excellent bows and armor that it defends!
Even at this moment, Li Dingshan's army and even Zhuque Gate can mobilize troops and generals from other city gates, but I'm afraid they won't be able to reach them for a while.
Now Wen Zhehan is sending another thousand people away. If Li Dingshan takes this opportunity to attack, it's just a matter of how long the Suzaku Gate can be defended.
At this time, the number of people is at an absolute disadvantage, and the combat experience of both sides is also unequal. Once the opponent attacks by force, any tactics of war will not work!
But if there are fewer people to rescue the emperor, it may not be possible to save the emperor.
The best way at the moment is for Wen Zhehan to still lead people to defend the Suzaku Gate, while she takes the remaining more than a hundred brothers and leads 300 people to kill Xinde Hall.
The Yan family troops who came out of the desert and survived the machetes of the brave and skilled Xirong people faced these Yulin troops who had almost never faced a real life-and-death battle. Even if they were in poor condition at this time, they were still enough to fight against ten!
But would Wen Zhehan be willing to give up such a huge achievement?
Yan Qing was hesitating, but Wen Zhehan, who was rushing towards us in a hurry, spoke first: "General Yan really did not disappoint me. The situation is urgent, please lead people to rescue him as soon as possible."
With that said, Wen Zhehan greeted Yan Qing who was following the order behind him, and then solemnly said to Yan Qing, "I will try my best to hold Li Dingshan and wait for the general's return."
Yan Qing was stunned, but he no longer hesitated: "Three hundred people are enough."
Saying this, Yan Qing ordered three hundred and led these three hundred Yulin troops and the remaining Yan family troops straight to Xinde Hall.
Outside Xinde Hall, Liu Tong led people from three floors inside and three outside to guard the gate of Xinde Hall and confront Xue Tu's people.
Both sides fought for an hour and were exhausted, but no one could gain the upper hand.
Xue Tu was not in a hurry. He knew that the Yulin army did not have many people and it would be impossible to defend the imperial city. It just needed some time.
When Li Dingshan's people rush into the imperial city, it will be a matter of time before Xinde Palace is destroyed.
On the other hand, if not forced by the situation, Xue Tu would not want to take action against Liu Tong.
The brothers who once slept on the same big kang and drank from the same pot of wine were now fighting each other, and Xue Tu felt uncomfortable.
"Xue Tu, you still have time to turn back now!"
Perhaps seeing Xue Tu's hesitation, Liu Tong shouted, trying to persuade Xue Tu to change his mind.
But Xue Tu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Liu, I am not trying to be a traitor and rebel. In fact, the lives of my wife, children, and children are in the hands of others, and I have no other choice!"
"madness!"
Liu Tong shouted angrily, "Have you ever seen someone who takes old, weak, women and children as hostages keep their promises?! After several years of border control, have you not seen such things often?!"
Even though he knew that what Liu Tong said was true, Xue Tu did not waver at all: "It was different when it happened to me. All those people at the time knew that there was little hope and were willing to bankrupt everything to raise the ransom. Brother Liu
, I’ve made up my mind, you’d better give up.”
Saying that, Xue Tu persuaded Liu Tong instead, "Brother Liu, surrender. The Wen family has their own affairs, why should you risk your life in vain? You should know that the Yulin Army is no match for the border guards. Li Dingshan defeated the Emperor
The city is just a matter of time. If you surrender now, I can ensure you leave safely. From now on, I will live in peace with my sister-in-law and Yaoyao anonymously. As long as I live, I will never let anyone come to my door."
"Pooh!"
Hearing that Xue Tu used his wife and daughter to persuade him to surrender, Liu Tong was furious and said, "If you want to be a coward, don't count me in! Yu Niang has already told me that even if they die, their mother and daughter will never be willing to do it."
If you don’t have quality, you can’t just live an ignoble existence!”
"If I listen to your nonsense today, I will really break up my wife and leave my family!"
