Cui Xin was scolded by Li Zhi and calmed down. He also realized that things seemed to have gone bad. He didn't care how the defeated troops ravaged Chang'an. It even seemed a bit indulgent at first. Cui's
The foundation is in Shandong. If the private army under his sect can rob the wealthy households in Chang'an and bring their wealth back to Shandong, and make Li Zhi bear the burden of the Cui family's benefits, it will be a great thing...
But after being scolded by Li Zhi, he realized that Li Zhi might blame Cui for this matter, so he was frightened and dissatisfied.
The Cui family almost emptied their family wealth for your throne, and all the young men in the family went to battle. It can be said that they were desperate. In the end, you were not grateful at all, and were ready to push the Cui family to bear the wrath of the Chang'an family at any time and at any time.
If you want your horse to run, why don't you give it grass to eat?
But no matter how much he was holding back his anger, he had to quickly stop the army from destroying Chang'an City, otherwise the Cui family would become the enemy of the world in the future...
Cui Xin came down from Chengtianmen and hurriedly summoned his disciples and the talkers of some other Shandong clans. He said with a gloomy face: "Your Highness has an order, immediately gather people to stop the broken troops from looting everywhere, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Some people are dissatisfied: "Tens of thousands of broken troops have scattered into various places. At this moment, the command has already failed. It is also the time when the eyes are red. I am afraid that no one will listen to what I say. How to stop them?"
"Your Highness said it lightly. If he hadn't run too fast when he entered the city, how could the rear army be defeated?"
The defeated soldiers dispersed into various places in Chang'an to plunder and plunder, which may not have been without the tacit approval or even support of people like them. The looted property would eventually be brought back to Shandong, and part of it would be owned by the family, so how could they be willing to do so?
Stop the rout and looting?
Especially the current situation is unpredictable and the outcome is unpredictable. If you can't get a vote to make up for the losses, who will you turn to to claim these losses after King Jin is defeated?
Supporting the King of Jin this time has caused all the families to go bankrupt and all their goods have been consumed. If the King of Jin is defeated, they will have to face sanctions and punishments from the court. If they can no longer plunder, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive after returning to Shandong.
Never posted it...
Cui Xinxin was furious and shouted angrily: "You are extremely stupid and unreasonable! Do you think that there is nothing wrong with plundering and patting your butt in Chang'an City? These dignitaries, princes, princes and ministers who have been kidnapped and abused by you will make our Shandong family hate us."
Deep down, even if the King of Jin succeeds, do you think he will offend everyone and favor the Shandong family? He will push us out to appease the public anger, and by the way, share our achievements to appease those princes and ministers!"
If the King of Jin succeeds, there is no doubt that the Shandong family has made great achievements. Countless Shandong children will fill the ruling class of the empire. Important positions in government offices and yamen at all levels will be occupied by Shandong children, achieving the political status that the Shandong family dreams of.
.
However, for an emperor, reward for merit is important, but balance is even more important!
Why did Emperor Taizong begin to target and suppress the Guanlong Clan who had abandoned his family and business to help him achieve great success ten years after Zhenguan? It was because the Guanlong Clan was the dominant family in the court, which had seriously threatened the majesty of the imperial power.
With the lessons learned from the past here, how could Li Zhi allow another Guanlongmen clan to reappear?
Indulging in robbery today will be used by Li Zhi and his political opponents to suppress the Shandong family in the future. However, these fools only look at the immediate benefits and cannot see the dangers in the future...
However, Cui Xin has great prestige among the Shandong aristocratic families. With his angry words, the Shandong disciples were dissatisfied and full of complaints, but they did not dare to disobey them. They had to reluctantly organize soldiers under Cheng's command.
More than 10,000 people quickly gathered in front of Tianmen, and then slowly headed south along Zhuque Street. At the same time, they cleared the broken troops in the lanes they passed along the way in order to collect the broken troops and restore order.
The rain fell from the sky, getting heavier and heavier, and the thin and dense rain shrouded the entire city of Chang'an. Under the pitch-black night, the flames that suddenly ignited in every neighborhood were dazzling, which meant that another wealthy mansion had been robbed.
Not long after Cui Xin commanded the gathered troops, soldiers rushed over in panic to report that Liu Rengui had led the navy soldiers to capture Mingdemen, and the entire army had entered the city and was intercepting and killing the broken troops scattered in various places.
Coming towards Chengtianmen...
Cui Xin was shocked. He had been killed and his courage was shattered. The one hundred thousand troops outside Mingde Gate were rushed to pieces by the enemy. They were defeated in the blink of an eye. Who dared to fight against Liu Rengui's troops now?
He quickly sent someone to ask Li Zhi for instructions, but what could Li Zhi do? The troops entering the city were all attacking Wude Hall, suffering huge casualties every moment. It was impossible to divide the troops into Liu Rengui, so he could only reply to Cui Xin and ordered him to do whatever he wanted.
It is necessary to block Liu Ren's railing above Tianjie and prevent it from approaching Chengtian Gate...
Cui Xin also realized that this moment was at the critical moment of victory. Victory means survival, defeat means death. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and order the Shandong disciples around him: "Your Highness has an order, let us intercept Liu Rengui and buy time for the army to capture Wude Hall! Everyone,
Success or failure depends on this one move. For the survival of our Shandong family and the future of our disciples, we must do our best and regard death as home!"
"Here!"
Everyone responded with a roar, there have been many heroes in Shandong since ancient times, even the wealthy families with heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy have never given up the martial arts passed down from their ancestors. There are almost no weak scholars who are unable to tie a chicken, and the brave and fierce folk customs are even more ancient.
Already, after listening to Cui Xin's words now, they all understand that the Shandong family has now boarded the broken ship of King Jin. They can only work together to help King Zuo Jin ascend the throne and achieve great achievements.
Now they were aroused with bloody courage and led the troops gathered under their command to advance southward along Tianjie.
The two sides encountered each other near Jingshanfang. The Shandong private army blocked the entire sky street in disorder and launched a charge forward. The navy soldiers were in array, loading ammunition and firing to resist the enemy under the command of Liu Rengui.
Bang bang bang!
Intense gunshots exploded on Tianjie. The "three-stage strike" combat method can ensure continuous fire suppression. However, due to the heavy rain, the muskets were seriously affected by moisture. Many muskets were even completely soaked by the rain, and the ammunition was wet and unable to be fired.
As a result, the power is greatly reduced.
Even so, the Shandong private troops who were charging ahead fell to pieces, but due to the large number of people, the spacious sky street seemed a bit narrow, and the crowd surged forward like a tide, and the momentum continued unabated.
Cui Xin had never experienced a battle before, but he could see that the power of the muskets was greatly reduced. He was overjoyed and urged the troops with dancing: "Come on, come on, charge up! The enemy's firearms have been damaged by the rain, and we will make great achievements today."
!”
The morale of the Shandong private army was greatly boosted, and each one of them was eager to perform meritorious service. They rushed forward with shouts and screams, trying to tear the navy troops into pieces and annihilate them in the sky.
Liu Rengui found that the firearms were constantly malfunctioning due to being soaked by the rain, and their power was greatly reduced, making it difficult to fully suppress the enemy. He immediately ordered the musketeers to be divided into two and retreated from the two wings. The Modao team behind them moved forward in sequence, acting as the vanguard of the entire army.
Hundreds of strong soldiers were wrapped in iron armor, holding swords made of fine steel in both hands. They allowed the oncoming enemies to rush forward crazily without blinking an eyelid, completely ignoring the enemy's swords that were slashing at them.
On top of the armor, they marched forward in unison as ordered, then raised their swords and slashed.
The blade is broad and heavy, which is good for cutting with force. The stainless steel material makes the blade tough and sharp. When slashing with force, it can easily cut off the enemy's weapon, armor, stomach and body. The Mo Dao team's blade is like a forest and like a wall.
Advance, crush all enemies in front of you, and become invincible.
The momentum of the rebels' charge was like the waves crashing on the rocks. It seemed astonishing, but in fact it only caused water and foam to fill the sky, while the rocks remained motionless.
The Mo Dao team advanced like a wall. Wherever they passed, stumps were everywhere and blood flowed into rivers. The rainwater diluted the blood and then flowed to the drainage ditches on both sides of the sky street, leaving only faint red traces on the bluestone pavement.
.
Cui Xin was shocked when he saw this and shouted quickly: "Crossbowmen, crossbowmen suppress it!"
The hurriedly assembled bows and crossbows hurriedly set up their bows and arrows, and fired at the Mosao formation that was like a wall in the distance. The chaotic arrows like locusts missed the rain in the air and fell diagonally into the Modao formation, clusters of arrows.
There was a jingling sound on the armor, but it couldn't hurt anything.
The Mo Dao array walked forward in the rain on Tianjie, stepping steadily on the bluestone pavement under their feet step by step. Wherever the bright Mo Dao went, their heads were in different places, and their internal organs were shattered. Such people could face the cavalry charge and still die.
How can a rebel army with chaotic military morale and insufficient equipment be able to stop a deadly weapon that can be resisted to death?
Liu Rengui personally supervised the formation behind Modao Formation, commanding a small number of cavalry to patrol on both wings. The main force of the Chinese army followed slowly at the end, advancing towards Chengtian Gate with a slow but extremely oppressive frequency.
Cui Xin panicked. If he couldn't stop Liu Rengui and waited until he broke into the Chengtianmen, wouldn't it make Yuchi Gong and Li Daozong who were attacking Wude Hall in Taiji Palace become turtles in the urn?
That would be a complete defeat!
In his eagerness, he drew out the sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Victory or defeat is at hand. As long as we can stop the enemy army, when His Highness captures the Wude Palace and captures the puppet emperor, the enemy army will collapse on its own. Everyone."
Hold this breath and hold it back!"
When the surrounding Shandong disciples heard this, they all understood what it would mean if the mutiny failed, and they all ordered their men to move forward, trying to withstand the Modao Formation's advance.
Although Tianjie is known as the best street in the world, its width is limited after all and is not suitable for large-scale legion operations. The rebels moved forward one after another and blocked the entire Tianjie. More and more corpses began to hinder the progress of Modao Formation.
, causing Mo Dao Formation to withstand the pressure of the crashing waves every time it takes a step forward.
For a time, the battle situation above Tianjie became tense. Although the rebels suffered greater casualties, Liu Rengui's advance began to be blocked, and the two sides were in a stalemate.
Around Wude Hall, the fighting was almost the same as on Tianjie. Yuchi Gong and Li Daozong continued to command their troops to attack Wude Hall, using their flesh and blood to resist the firearms of the Youtun Guards. As the rain became heavier and heavier,
The firearms of Youtun Guard began to have more malfunctions, and their firepower was not as fierce as before. The rebels relied on their superior strength to overwhelm You Tun Guard.
A sudden heavy rain caused the situation on the battlefield to gradually reverse.
