Lars took over the defense of Taiping Gate from Wang Buyi. He first asked Wang Buyi's soldiers to rest and removed Wang Buyi's soldiers, and then let his thousand foreign soldiers take control of the Taiping Gate defense. Although There are still some generals and soldiers guarding the city who have not left. They are still patrolling and guarding the city tower, but they are of no importance anymore.
Wang Buyi went to rest, while Lars patrolled back and forth.
About half an hour later, a flash of fire suddenly appeared on the official road outside the city. At first, the light was not obvious, and only about a dozen torches could be seen. After getting closer, one could already see people running outside the city. There were more than thirty soldiers who came, and the fire was shining brightly. When the general in charge of the defense on the city tower noticed it, he shouted: "Look, look, there are people coming from outside the city."
Lars also noticed it. The corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes were slightly excited, and he ordered: "Everyone is on alert."
The foreign soldiers stationed there are no longer relaxing and have all entered a state of alert.
Not long after, more than 30 people who came on horseback all arrived below the city tower. With the help of the firelight on the city tower and the shining torches below the city, Lars had already seen the people below. Lars turned back to look at the city tower. Some of the soldiers under Wang Buyi shouted loudly: "The person below is Prime Minister Xu Yuan. Don't shoot arrows or attack."
Xu Yuan stood downstairs and shouted in cooperation: "I am Prime Minister Xu Yuan, please open the city gate immediately."
The generals left behind by Wang Buyi saw that the person at the bottom of the city was Xu Yuan, confirmed Xu Yuan's identity, and prepared to open the door. Lars was about to go downstairs to open the city gate, but a loud shout came from behind him: "Wait a minute. "
A deep roar came, but it was Wang Buyi who had arrived.
Wang Buyi had not rested long. He was worried about the situation at Taiping Gate, so he put on his clothes and started patrolling. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out, he encountered Xu Yuan and some soldiers fleeing back. Wang Buyi stretched out his head and looked around, and saw It was indeed Xu Yuan who came back and shouted again: "Open the city gate."
Lars said: "I went downstairs to maintain the situation.
Immediately, Lars turned around and left, getting off the tower.
He led his soldiers to control the city gate openly. When the city gate opened, Xu Yuan and his soldiers rushed in immediately. Xu Yuan took the lead. After entering the city, he shouted: "Quick, quick, close the city gate, Li Zhen The army is still behind." As Xu Yuan spoke, he could already see a large army galloping outside the city.
Lars said: "Prime Minister Xu, look outside the city..."
He pointed out the city gate with a surprised expression. When Xu Yuan heard this, he had no doubts and immediately looked outside the city. The soldiers who followed Xu Yuan also looked back, wanting to see The situation outside the city was just that when Xu Yuan and his soldiers turned around, bright lights flashed across them.
"Pfft."
The sword flashed across Xu Yuan's head and neck.
Blood splashed out, and Xu Yuan was killed by Lars without any reason. Similarly, the soldiers under Lars took action instantly, and saw a steel knife, directly killing the soldiers Xu Yuan brought back, and Xu Yuan was killed. The soldiers brought back by Yuan were all killed. Xu Yuan did not understand what was going on until his death, and the soldiers who followed Xu Yuan were also confused.
If you don't understand, you will die.
Xu Yuan was killed, but the soldiers on the city tower hadn't noticed it yet, because most of the soldiers guarding the city tower were soldiers under Lars' command. Soon, Li Zhen's army could be clearly seen, and Wang Buyi was even more nervous. .
Wang Buyi was anxious and ordered the city gate to be closed.
"puff,."
When Wang Buyi was running back and forth among the soldiers giving orders, he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He looked down and saw a foreign soldier stabbing out a knife. This knife penetrated Wang Buyi's back impartially and pierced him. Wang Buyi's chest was then suddenly pulled out. The knife was so fast that Wang Buyi fell to the ground without even making a sound.
At the same time, the foreign soldiers took action and quickly killed the generals and soldiers belonging to Wang Buyi. These soldiers were killed and had no ability to resist. The king's flag changed on the city tower, and Lars' soldiers easily controlled it. Taiping Gate, and Lars was waiting at the gate of the city for Li Zhen's army to arrive.
Not long after, Li Zhen led the army into the city.
Lars bowed respectfully: "Lars has met the Admiral."
Li Zhen smiled, waved his hand and said: "You are a hero, so there is no need to be polite. Send the order and let your soldiers guard the Taiping Gate. You can lead the way for us. We should arrest Hong Xiuquan first, and then consider mopping up the Taiping Army."
"yes."
Lars agreed respectfully and ordered the soldiers to control the Taiping Gate before heading to the Heavenly King's Mansion.
…
Tianwang Mansion, in the main hall.
The soldiers who reported the news were waiting in the main hall, but Hong Xiuquan arrived belatedly. When the soldiers saw Hong Xiuquan coming, they eagerly reported: "King of Heaven, Lars is Li Zhen's man. He led the soldiers to control the Taiping Gate. Li Zhen's army has been welcomed into the city, Wang Buyi has been killed, Li Zhen leads the army straight to the Heavenly King's Mansion, and asks the Heavenly King to leave quickly."
"boom,,."
When Hong Xiuquan heard the news, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
He stood in the hall in a daze, not knowing what to do, especially Lars, who was an important figure that Hong Xiuquan relied on. The soldiers led by Lars were vaguely Hong Xiuquan's trump card, and they were the ones Hong Xiuquan spent a lot of effort on. Now, Hong Xiuquan The most trusted army betrayed him and opened the city gate to welcome Li Zhen. This made Hong Xiuquan feel uncomfortable and even felt like being pricked with needles.
Hong Xiuquan suddenly said: "It's impossible, Lars can't betray me."
The soldier felt contempt in his heart, but continued to explain: "What happened has happened. Lars has indeed betrayed. Li Zhen led the soldiers towards the Heavenly King's Mansion with a fierce momentum. It is already too late to mobilize the soldiers to resist, so leave quickly."
"leave."
Hong Xiuquan's voice suddenly became louder and he said: "Where are you going? Where are you going?" He answered himself and said loudly: "Lars is a traitor. He destroyed everything of this king. I want to kill him. We need to get rid of this traitor." Hong Xiuquan felt uncomfortable and wanted to fight Li Zhen.
Kill Li Zhen and get rid of Lars.
The soldier shook his head slightly and said: "King of Heaven, how can we get rid of Lars? You gave Lars the power of the army. Now the army is controlled by Lars. All soldiers were ordered by Lars to stay in the military camp. , even if the King of Heaven wants to dispatch soldiers, he can't do it in a short time, and Li Zhen has already come with his army to kill us, we must leave quickly."
Hong Xiuquan said in a deep voice: "There is also a guard of 3,000 people in my palace. This guard is formed according to the model of foreign soldiers. All the soldiers are well-equipped, and each one is a capable and brave soldier. Now , it’s time to use them, let them face Li Zhen this time and show their strength."
Hong Xiuquan's final trump card was finally revealed.
When the soldier heard this, he thought about it and said loudly: "King, I think it is very difficult and unrealistic to rely on three thousand guards to block Li Zhen's army of nearly ten thousand. After all, Li Zhen's soldiers are all elite. Moreover, there are quite a lot of people and the equipment is as good as possible, so it is very difficult to block them.”
"Report,."
Suddenly, another soldier rushed in, and the soldier shouted loudly: "King of Heaven, Li Zhen's army has surrounded the Palace of Heavenly Kings, and they cannot rush out now."
Hong Xiuquan's heart skipped a beat, Li Zhen's speed was too fast.
