Pei Ji took a pen and wrote the decree on the table, and then five of the six prime ministers stamped it successively.

Chen Ying felt a lot of pressure at this time, and he couldn't help but think of Yang Hucheng during the Xi'an Incident in his head.

Pei Ji took the edict, handed it to Chen Ying and said: "I also ask General Chen to save His Majesty at all costs!"

Chen Ying received the teaching order and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately said: "If you have nothing to do, you can go to Xuanwu Gate with this general!"

All the prime ministers followed Chen Ying, and the soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion took the lead in opening the way to the Xuanwu Gate.

Chang He, who was standing on the tower of the Xuanwu Gate, saw a large number of Zuowu Houwei soldiers pouring out from the direction of Nanya, and immediately shouted: "All soldiers, prepare to fight!"

Xiaowei Mansion is the only Zhechong Mansion with a cavalry system in Zuo Wuhou. More than a thousand horses gallop along the palace road.

Humanity is, thousands of people fill the city, ten thousand people fill the field, although there are only more than a thousand cavalry, but to Chang He, it feels like thousands of horses galloping together, and the momentum is terrifying.

The atmosphere on the wall of Xuanwumen palace city suddenly became tense, and the soldiers of the imperial army gathered in the camp quickly, and the soldiers of the imperial army on the wall erected their shields, and the small fire in the stove increased, and the oil in the pot Heat it up, and prepare to invite Zuo Wuchang, who was attacking the city, to have an appetizer.

At this time, the cavalry army of Zuo Wu Houwei was getting closer and closer, with banners hunting, people shouting and horses neighing, spears like a forest, swords and armor shining in the light of snow, a blood-devouring cold breath rose into the sky, It's chilling.

Chang He counted the heads with great difficulty, but it was definitely more than a thousand.He grinned at the soldiers: "Congratulations, you have earned thousands more! Don't worry that I can't afford the money, just cut off their heads and exchange them!"

The soldiers let out a burst of laughter, and the tension before the battle eased slightly.

What made Chang He feel at ease was that the cavalry couldn't put wings on the horses, and they couldn't use them in the palace.

However, before Chang He could breathe a sigh of relief, he almost couldn't hold his breath, and blood spurted wildly.

Jing Junhong looked at a large cart appearing in the cavalry formation, and asked curiously: "Old Chang, what is this?"

Chang He said dumbfounded: "I don't know either!"

Of course, Chang He didn't know, this was a soil tank invented by Chen Ying.

Attacking Xuanwu Gate, especially when Chen Ying was the attacking party, Chen Ying naturally didn't want his soldiers to go forward and die in vain, so Chen Ying got a simple version of the earthen tank and reinforced a door panel with a large tank. This door panel was dismantled from the Nanya Wing Room, and it was a full six inches thick.Chen Ying took Pei Ji's cotton cup from Nan Ya's value room, wrapped it on the door panel, and then poured water on the cotton quilt to make it wet.

Don't look at this shield chariot as crude and unusual, not only is it impenetrable to arrows, but even if it is set on fire, it will not burn for a while, unless the torch or kerosene can evaporate the water in the quilt. Two catties of cotton is already heavy, but after watering, it weighs more than two hundred catties.

Pei Ji looked at the very slow-moving car with a very strange appearance: "General Chen, what is this?"

"This is an earthen tank!" Chen Ying subconsciously said.

Pei Ji was startled, and asked suspiciously, "What is a tank?"

Chen Ying said casually: "The tank is..."

Chen Ying suddenly thought that this thing was a product of more than 1000 years later. Even if he said it out loud, Pei Ji would not understand what a tank is, so he had to change his words: "It's an invincible chariot. Don't look at the ugly appearance. , it can prevent both arrows and fire..."

Before Chen Ying could finish speaking, Pei Ji said with a resentful expression: "General Chen, even if you want to prevent fire, if you need it to prevent arrows, you have to tear down the door and make quilts. Isn't it better to just fill the car with loose soil? Not only can it prevent arrows and fire, but even stones can’t be smashed.”

Chen Ying slapped his head, I actually forgot about it.

Chen Ying smiled awkwardly.

The Xuanwu Gate arrived. At this time, Chen Ying held the attitude of giving it a try. He wanted Guo Luo to come forward and persuade him to surrender, but after thinking about it, Guo Luo used it smoothly. A fat middle-aged official in a scarlet colored uniform said among the ministers, "You, it's up to you to persuade you to surrender!"

The middle-aged civil servant was not stage-frightened, and said loudly: "The next official takes orders!"

Looking at the back of the civil servant, Chen Ying murmured: "It doesn't look stupid, why is it a little bit silly!"

Pei Ji shook his head and said: "Master Yan Gu Yan Yixing is not the second, he is the eldest son, his second brother Yan Xiangshi, and third brother Yan Qinli are both young and enlightened, with great knowledge, skilled in seal and calligraphy, especially fine Exegesis, the same as Yan Shigu and Yan Xiangshi, is a bachelor of Hongwen and Chongxian, who revised the classics and history, and his fourth brother, Yan Yude, served as the prince's general staff, and worked in the Sijing school to determine the history of the classics."

Just when Pei Ji introduced Yan Shigu to Chen Ying, Chen Ying was also dumbfounded, how can he just point out that anyone is a historical master?The key is that this big cow is also the ancestor of the historical celebrity Yan Zhenqing.If Chang He's head is hot and he orders him to be shot, Chen Ying will be a sinner through the ages.

At this moment, Yan Shigu came back angrily and said: "General Chen, my subordinates have neglected their duties, disorderly ministers and thieves, obsessed with obsession, everyone will be punished... Please give this subordinate a knife, and I will kill your majesty." This thief!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, Yan Sheren should go down and rest for a while, this is just a beast, you guys are here!"

Chen Ying turned around and looked at the officers and soldiers of the Xiaowei Mansion and said, "The Xiaowei Mansion is responsible for suppressing bows and crossbows, and the Qinwei Mansion is attacking!"

Following Chen Ying's order.

The desolate ox-horn warhorn sounded, humming and humming resounded through the sky, and a murderous aura shot up into the sky, filling the space between heaven and earth.In the sound of the horn.

The soldiers of Xiaowei Mansion shouted wildly: "Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Immediately he rode his horse and rushed over, and with a touch of his hand on the quiver, he grabbed several arrows in his hand. The bowstring trembled, and the arrows shot out like beads. The rain of arrows, almost every crenel has been taken care of.

In terms of riding and archery skills, the Xiaowei Mansion is far inferior to the Turkic people who live on horseback.But the Xiaowei Mansion is better equipped.Under Chen Ying's repeated actions, the life of the Turkic people is very hard now. All they use are horn bows. The strength of the bow is rather poor, and the arrow branches are not much better. There are not many iron arrowheads, and most of them are made of animal bones or flints, so the lethality is naturally greatly reduced.

However, Xiaowei Mansion is not the same, they are equipped with soft steel recurve bows or soft steel crossbows, three-edged arrows made by elites.Seeing the dense arrows coming from Yuan Cong, the forbidden army hurriedly raised their shields to hide, not daring to raise their heads.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the defenders' firepower being suppressed by the crossbowmen of the Xiaowei Mansion, the shield chariot was pushed over. The infantry either hid behind the shield chariot, or carried ladders, armed with swords and shields, and quickly approached the city wall. Let out a howl, menacing.

Chang He said anxiously: "Steady your ground! Stabilize your ground! Let them come over, and we will deal with them when they get under the city wall!"

It's a pity that there are more than a thousand cavalrymen from the Xiaowei Mansion who are in charge of long-range suppression under the palace city. Whoever dares to show their heads will be covered by a shower of arrows.

Where has Zhong Yuan seen such a battle from the soldiers of the Forbidden Army?

Although most of Yuan Cong's forbidden army came from good families, it's a pity that they have basically never fought in battle. Seeing this scene, they trembled with fear.

There was almost no hysteresis effect, the shield chariot escorted the soldiers of the Qinwei Mansion, and successfully rushed to the Xuanwu Gate.

The infantry of the Qinwei Mansion immediately took their knives and axes, and slashed at the Xuanwu Gate palace gate frantically.This kind of palace gate made of solid wood is about one foot thick, and the sawdust is flying up and down after being chopped with knives and axes.

Jing Junhong looked at this scene and said anxiously: "Xuanwumen won't last long, if we lose this palace gate, we will all die!"

Chang He shouted: "Go to the door with a knife cart and guard the city gate. Each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels!"

Jing Junhong turned to Chang He and said: "Old Chang, you guard the city gate, and I will lead people to guard the city gate!"

As he spoke, he led a group of soldiers towards the city wall.

However, at this time, the gate of the palace had already been cut with big holes and small eyes.

Luo Shixin shouted anxiously: "Get out of the way, let me come!"

With that said, he jumped on a spare horse and rushed towards the city gate.

The speed of the war horse was getting faster and faster, Luo Shixin shouted: "Let me drive!"

The iron spear in his hand pierced the top bolt of the city gate.

"Crack!" With a muffled sound, the gate of the city opened.

However, the huge inertial impact force made Luo Shixin feel uncomfortable. All his strength was transferred to the horse. The horse couldn't bear the strain, and its front hooves limp and fell to the ground.

The city gate was wide open, and Chen Ying's personal guards rushed into the Xuanwu Gate.
