Seeing the panic expression on Chang He's face, Changsun Wugou shouted in a low voice:

"Why panic? It's only a hundred people, the prince can handle it. Order your people to be ready, and lock the gate tightly as soon as the prince and King Qi enter the palace."

"But……"

"General Chang, it's already reached this time, and there is no turning back when you open your bow. Do you still have a chance?" Li Wenbin sneered, "Even if you want to repent now, it may be too late, right?"

"Humble post doesn't mean that, it's just because the opponent is powerful, so..."

"General Chang, open the big box over there. Inside is the treasure I prepared for you."

Chang He opened a box on the side, and found that it was densely packed with more than a dozen earthen pots, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Although things are a little short, I believe that they will be taught a lesson they will never forget." Li Wenbin picked up a crock with difficulty, and gestured, "Use a torch to light this piece of cloth, and then forcefully burn it Just throw it into a crowded place."

"Here."

After carrying these dozens of earthen jars away, Changsun Wugou asked curiously, "Wen Bin, what's in there?"

"It's a gift specially prepared by my son for the crown prince and King Qi's subordinates."

At this time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji had already led more than a hundred personal guards into the Xuanwu Gate and headed for the Linhu Hall—after passing the Linhu Hall, and passing through several palaces, it was the Taiji Hall where Li Yuan was located.

Seeing this, Chang He ordered his sergeants to close the gate of Xuanwu Gate, and the rumbling sound was heard far away.

Hearing the voice behind him, Li Jiancheng turned his head to look, and suddenly had a sense of foreboding in his heart: "Third Brother, why did the Xuanwu Gate suddenly close during the day?"

"The younger brother doesn't know, could it be the emperor's will?"

"If there is such a thing, Chang He will notify me in advance. No, there is a fraud!"

As soon as he reined in the horse, Li Jiancheng shouted, "Third Brother, I'm afraid we've been fooled, so we should quickly withdraw from the inner city."

Li Yuanji was startled and suspicious, he was probably still worried, could it be that the crown prince killed the donkey in advance and wanted to kill himself?
Then Chang He is the eldest brother's confidant, so he cast doubts, and wanted to kill the second brother and himself together?
You must know that the reason why Li Yuanji was able to help Li Jiancheng steadfastly was because Li Jiancheng had promised him that as long as he could become emperor, he would be the emperor's younger brother.

No matter what, it is necessary to leave the inner city now, Li Yuanji turned around and said, "Prince, you go to the East Palace, and I will go back to Prince Qi's Mansion."

"drive!"

As soon as the horse's belly was caught, Li Yuanji was about to rush out, and the guards accompanying the two also had weapons in their hands, trying to protect them and rush out.

But at this moment, Li Shimin's voice was suddenly heard: "His Royal Highness, Fourth Brother, Father wants me to welcome you, where are you going?"

"Second brother, I suddenly feel pain in my abdomen. I'm afraid that the king will lose his manners. Please tell my father, and my son will come as soon as he goes."

Li Yuanji was still talking to Li Shimin foolishly, but Li Jiancheng was already frightened out of his wits, and urged his horse to run wildly, trying to escape.

"Chase!"

Li Shimin gave an order, and together with Yu Chigong led his men to rush up, the sergeants under him and Prince Qi's accompanying guards quickly fought together.

"King Qin, you are the king's king, yet you do such a rebellious thing." Li Yuanji roared, grabbed a pair of bows and arrows, and tried to shoot Li Shimin to death.

It's just that he is already impatient now, and he didn't pull the bow even after two or three consecutive draws.

Seeing this, Li Shimin laughed loudly, and took out his bow and arrow, but pointed the arrow at Prince Li Jiancheng who was galloping on horseback...

……

Donggong Yiwei Chariot General Feng Li kept yelling loudly, urging Chang He to open the gate of Xuanwu Gate, but the only response to him was arrows raining down from the top of the city.

"General Feng, we can't wait any longer. It seems that King Qin Qin has been preparing for a long time, and he is waiting for today."

Xue Wanche, deputy guard of Prince Qi's Mansion, came over: "Hurry up and order, let the Erlangs under him rush!"

Feng Li gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "The generals obey the order, attack the Xuanwu Gate, and rescue His Highness the Crown Prince and King Qi. Those who retreat before the battle will be killed without mercy!"

On the one hand, he ordered the soldiers to attack the city continuously, and he also ordered hundreds of people to demolish the nearby palaces and make simple siege equipment on the spot.

The prince's six rate and the guards of Prince Qi's mansion add up to nearly 2000 people. Although Xuanwu Gate is an inner city gate, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there are too few people on the top of the city. After a while, they are suppressed and unable to move.

At this time, many siege soldiers had already climbed to the top of the city, but at this moment, Changsun Wugou led a reserve team to rush out suddenly.

At this time, the princess of Qin was like a god of war, holding a long sword, and the sword flower was flying up and down, and there was no enemy in front of her.

Kicking the last Qi Palace guard off the wall, the eldest grandson Wugou shouted loudly: "Today, for the bloody fighters of the prince, everyone will give riches and silks, and be promoted to three ranks. Those who have made great contributions will definitely be enshrined as princes."

"If you violate today's oath, my eldest grandson Wugou will surely die with a thousand arrows piercing his heart!"

"King Qin Wansheng!"

"King Qin Wansheng!"

The slightly frustrated military spirit was rallied again, and the sergeants of Prince Qin's Mansion who were guarding the Xuanwu Gate drank the spirits given to them, and suddenly felt blood boil all over their bodies, and even the pain on their bodies seemed to have eased a lot.

Li Wenbin didn't know where he got a set of bright light armor to put on his body, holding a long sword and struggling to boost morale, completely ignoring the injury on his back.

"General Chang, General Chang, where are those earthen pots I gave you? Why don't you use them?"

"Little prince, the situation is critical now. You should go back to the city gate and don't come out. Swords don't have eyes."

Seeing that he was underestimated, Li Wenbin picked up an earthen jar and lit the cotton cloth on it with a torch: "Keep your dog eyes wide open and watch carefully."

Throwing the earthen jar vigorously into the densest place of the crowd, there was a bang, and with the sound of the earthen jar shattering, a dark red flame rose into the sky.

Immediately, heart-piercing screams came from below, and dozens of Pyromen wrapped in flames kept rolling and screaming on the ground.

Some comrades wanted to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but found that this strange flame was like tarsal maggots, and there was no way to do it unless it extinguished itself.

What frightened Feng Li and Xue Wanche the most was that these flames could still flow, and if they touched their bodies, it could almost declare that this person could be given up.

Not only people, but also the simple siege equipment that had just been fetched was completely burned by the fire.

Another series of earthen jars were thrown from the top of the city, turning the entire area outside the Xuanwu Gate into a purgatory-like existence on earth.

Although heat waves continued to hit, Feng Li and Xue Wanche shuddered.
