Chapter Seventeen Renshou Palace Transformation Nine
Soldiers had already chopped down a big tree outside the courtyard. More than a hundred soldiers rushed into the yard holding the five-foot-long tree. Yang Yuanqing changed another pot of arrows. He shouted, "Concentrate your arrows and hit the wood!"
His voice echoed in the tower, and the guards on the lower floors responded one after another, focusing their arrows to shoot at the soldiers holding the wood. In just twenty steps, three rounds of arrows were fired from the tower, and the twenty or so people at the front were hit by arrows.
He fell to the ground in the stupor, but there were too many soldiers hugging the giant tree, and the heavy giant tree still slammed into the bronze door.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, like a muffled thunder on the ground, and the entire white jade pagoda shook violently. Although the copper door was thick, it could not withstand the shocking impact. The door bolt broke, and the tower door suddenly opened, and hundreds of soldiers crowded in.
And enter.
Yang Yuanqing had his own considerations as to why he chose a tower for defense. The pagoda has a special structure with narrow and spiral stairs. As long as the tower stairs are guarded, it will be difficult for the opponent to attack.
Of course, their numbers were too small and they would not be able to hold on in the end, but they gained time. This was the most important thing. He had already seen a large group of troops rushing from the corridor to the top of the mountain. In just one stick of incense, the reinforcements would be there.
arrival.
At this time, the imperial guards of the East Palace had already rushed into the Renshou Palace. Yuwen Chengdu took the lead, waving his gilded phoenix wings and commanding more than a thousand imperial guards to rush towards the White Jade Pagoda on the top of the mountain.
Soon, Shi Xiang led his army into Renshou Palace. They immediately sealed the palace gate and controlled the situation inside the palace. At this time, Shi Xiang already knew that the Holy Emperor had passed away, but Shi Xiang was very careful and controlled more than a dozen people.
The imperial doctors who treated the emperor and the eunuchs and maids around him could prove the cause of the emperor's death.
Liu Shu was also anxious at this moment. They wasted too much time. An unexpected person almost destroyed all his dreams. Now he only had a chance. He shouted from behind a tree: "General He, if you don't
It will be too late to kill him!"
He Shaokang's eyes turned red. He roared and rushed into the White Jade Tower with a shield in hand.
A bloody fight has begun in the tower. Hundreds of left-wing soldiers are crowded on the first floor. Two old nuns are lying on the ground. The air is filled with the pungent smell of blood. On a narrow iron staircase behind the bronze statue, there are dense crowds of people.
It was crowded with more than a hundred burly sergeants, each holding a spear, and slowly surged upward like a snail. The dozen or so people at the top had been killed, but their bodies were still being held up by the people below, becoming
Human shield.
There were constant screams coming from the stairs, and as soon as the first person came up, he was hacked to death by the guards upstairs.
He Shaokang was furious, grabbed a spear and shouted: "Get them all down!"
The soldiers withdrew one after another, and more than a dozen corpses rolled down the stairs. He Shaokang held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand. He jumped up the stairs and rushed up. He Shaokang was a Xianbei noble and was six feet five tall.
He was extremely skilled in martial arts and extremely powerful. He was known as the number one general on the left and right guards. He used his shield to withstand the attacks of the four shi guards on the second floor and stabbed them with spears. He appeared and disappeared. In an instant, he stabbed three of the four shi guards to death.
Another person, Shi Wei Dahai, turned around and ran towards the third floor, but was stabbed by He Shaokang's flying spear and nailed to death on the stairs.
The situation suddenly changed. He Shaokang was so brave that he rushed up to the third floor in one breath, followed by more than a hundred rebel soldiers.
The sound of running up and down the stairs made Yang Guang pale. He had already heard that the other party was on the third floor. He felt a sense of despair that the end was coming, but Yang Yuanqing was unusually calm. He had experienced countless tests of life and death, and he knew
The god of death has not yet come.
He picked up the halberd and jumped from the fifth floor to the fourth floor. Yang Guang was so surprised that he stood up and shouted: "General Yuanqing!"
Yang Yuanqing's voice came from the fourth floor, "Your Highness, don't worry, I'm here to keep you safe!"
At this time, He Shaokang's heart was beating fast. He was less than five steps away from Yang Guang in a straight line, only one floor apart. The smooth rush to the building made him see the dawn of victory.
But he didn't know that there was another man with extraordinary martial arts skills upstairs. When he just rushed to the fourth floor, an extremely powerful arrow shot towards him like lightning. He instinctively raised his shield to meet him, and there was a "click!"
, the arrow actually penetrated his shield and nailed his shoulder. He Shaokang felt a sharp pain, and his back hit the wall hard.
He Shaokang was furious, threw away his shield, swooped forward with a spear, and pierced Yang Yuanqing's throat with a spear in the air, but Yang Yuanqing did not dodge, and his halberd also stabbed He Shaokang's chest very quickly. In the lightning flash,
At that moment, He Shaokang's spear stopped about half a foot away from Yang Yuanqing's throat.
Yang Yuanqing's face was as cold as stone. He Shaokang slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest in disbelief. His chest had been pierced by a halberd. He clearly felt that the opponent's speed was not fast, but he was still stabbed first.
He Shaokang suddenly burst out with an earth-shaking scream. This scream contained his endless despair. At the moment before his death, he seemed to have seen the moment when he was wiped out from the nine tribes. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body
As soon as he weakened, he died on Yang Yuanqing's halberd.
Yang Yuanqing threw his body out and threw several stunned soldiers behind him down the stairs. A palace chief behind him rushed up unwillingly, but Yang Yuanqing smashed his shield with a halberd, and the tip of the halberd pierced his head.
He was nailed to the wall and his brains spurted out. Yang Yuanqing withdrew his halberd and his body rolled down.
There was silence in the entire White Jade Pagoda. He Shaokang had been the Zuowei Zhige General for nearly ten years. He was very good at winning over people's hearts. Most of his subordinates obeyed him absolutely. But when he died, all the soldiers lost their spiritual confidence.
Pillars, they are at a loss, doubtful, and don't know where to go?
At this moment, Yang Guang's voice sounded on the fifth floor of the White Jade Tower, "I am the prince and will soon be the emperor of the Sui Dynasty. You and others were deceived by He Shaokang and committed a major crime. Now that the culprit has been brought to justice, you and others should disperse immediately.
If you don’t pursue the case, you will be executed by the whole family!”
The morale of the soldiers had been shattered. They were so frightened that they retreated downstairs one after another, rushed out of the White Jade Tower, threw away their weapons and fled. At this time, the black and dense guards of the East Palace had rushed halfway up the mountain. When Liu Shu saw that the situation was over, he laughed sadly and walked away.
He took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, unscrewed the cork, drank it in one gulp, and slowly lay down. Looking at the long white clouds in the sky, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen!"
There were screams in front of the White Jade Pagoda, and more than 500 East Palace guards rushed into the courtyard, killing dozens of rebels who had no time to escape.
Yang Guang had already seen Yang Su and Yu Wenshu running from the foot of the mountain from the window. He knew that the overall situation had been decided, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he was still a few steps away from ascending the throne, at least he would not be as embarrassed as today.
, With life and death hanging on a thin line, Yang Guang heard the footsteps behind him. He turned back and stared at Yang Yuanqing who was walking up the stairs. His heart was filled with deep emotion. It was this young general who saved him in the most critical moment. After a while,
Yang Guang asked calmly: "Yuan Qing, just tell me, what do you want me to reward you with?"
Yang Yuanqing knelt down and performed a military salute, "What I did today was just my duty as a minister. I tried my best to be His Majesty's shield. I don't need any reward for my humble position!"
Yang Guang shook his head slowly, "Although meeting you today is just a coincidence, it is also God's will. You saved my life. Although you don't want a reward, maybe you are willing to be my shield, but I, Yang Guang, never owe anything.
Favor, you say! What do you want?"
Yang Yuanqing thought for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "I only want one thing. I hope that one day in the future, His Highness will accept my advice."
Yang Guang stared at him for a long time and finally nodded, "I actually don't like listening to people's advice, but for the sake of saving me once, okay! I promise you."
A knowing smile appeared on Yang Guang's face, "Yuan Qing, I will keep your kindness in mind."
