"Li Sima, since this is the case, let's go with General Guan as soon as possible!" Chen He urged from the side, and handed over the tokens and letters of the other ministers to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen also knew that the matter was urgent, so he left the hall with Guan Yu and left from the other side of the palace with the keepsake and letter.

......

"Uncle! What shall we do now! Will the master already..." Cao Gang worried from the side.After Cao Gang escaped alone, he met Lin Ku who led the troops, so he was appointed as the vanguard by Lin Ku.

Lin Ku comforted: "My father-in-law is the best martial artist in the world, and we are just outside the palace gate, and the Beijing camp is about to enter the city. I don't think that His Majesty will harm my father-in-law, otherwise, what if we break into the palace?" I will rest with them! I guess they will negotiate with us and dare not harm my father-in-law."

Although Lin Ku is extremely intelligent, he still calculates Ji Yuanwu according to normal thinking, but how can a person who knows he is about to die be threatened by this? When all the disasters are wiped out, Cao Sui is the main target.

As long as the capital is not chaotic, it will not threaten the royal rule.

"However, the final general is still a little worried!"

"If my predictions are correct, Ji Yuanwu must be relying on Huangfuyi's Zhennan Army. However, even if Huangfuyi rushes day and night, it will take several days to reach the capital. Therefore, we must make a quick decision and support the Qing army in the name of the Qing Dynasty. The eldest prince succeeds!"

After waiting for a while, there was no reply from the palace. Lin Ku knew that he had guessed wrong. He miscalculated the determination of His Majesty the Emperor. Lin Ku couldn't help but secretly hated it. If this happened, the father-in-law might be in danger!

"Cao Gang, order to attack the city!"

"Yes!"

"Our army is all private soldiers carefully trained by my father-in-law. They are ten times more elite than the imperial army. Besides, they are equipped with a large number of bows and crossbows. It is only a matter of time before they break through the palace. Unfortunately, the number of people is still too small, so we can only attack one point with all our strength. But it is impossible to scatter and surround, if Ji Yuanwu escapes..."

There was a sneer at the corner of Lin Ku's mouth: "If you run away, it's exactly what I want!"

"boom!"

The siege engine seized from the arsenal was thrown at Wuying Gate, and the forbidden army behind Wuying Gate blocked the gate with their bodies, making it impossible to break through Wuying Gate in a short time.

Seeing that the seizure of the city gate was blocked, Lin Ku ordered again, and teams of soldiers carried long ladders to the city wall, preparing to climb over the wall and attack the city.

"Archer suppression!"

Cao Gang commanded in front.

The archers in the back draw their bows and shoot arrows, throwing arrows continuously, forming a rain of arrows, hitting the forbidden army inside the city gate and on the city wall.

The imperial army without large shield protection suffered more than half of the damage in a short time!

Chapter 178

"Your Majesty! The enemy has ordered to attack the city!" A commander of the forbidden army came to report, "The enemy stormed Wuying Gate. Our army is numerous, but the terrain is small, and the enemy is equipped with a large number of crossbows. The casualties were heavy!"

"Liu De, you often lead troops to fight at the border, and now you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy!" Ji Yuanwu hurriedly asked for a strategy. Among the group of people in the hall, Liu De was the only one who knew the soldiers, and Ji Yuanwu could only rely on Liu De now.

"Your Majesty! The enemy has only 2000 people. It is impossible to divide the troops into battle. They can only attack Wuyingmen by force. If you let the ministers command, they will bluff and pretend to attack the city, and then use bows and crossbows to consume a large number of soldiers guarding the city walls and inside the city. They are afraid and dare not approach, so they send strong soldiers to occupy the city wall, take advantage of the height of the city wall, shoot and kill the forbidden army, and advance layer by layer until they reach the main hall. If we don't have bows or heavy shields, there is basically no chance of winning! At that time, His Majesty has no choice but to abandon the imperial city and go outside, and then organize soldiers to take back the capital!"

"No! I will never abandon the city!"

Ji Yuanwu said firmly, "I will stay here!"

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that with the presence of the minister, His Majesty will not be harmed in any way!"

"Dare to ask the general how to retreat from the enemy!" A minister looked at the confident Liu De and couldn't help but wondered. After all, fighting alone on the battlefield is not the same as fighting alone. Among the random arrows, even a general with high martial arts skills will inevitably end up defeated. A thousand arrows piercing the heart.

"My lord, you are being polite. According to the commander, Lin Ku's tactics are a bit different from what I said. Instead, he directly dispatched soldiers to attack the city, and then used crossbowmen to cover it. This way, he was either full of confidence, or I feel that time is running out, and I want to make a quick decision. Your Majesty, I have a question?" Liu De asked Ji Yuanwu in the last sentence.

"go ahead!"

"May I ask how long it will take for General Zhennan to reach the capital!" Liu De asked.

Ji Yuanwu looked at Liu De in front of him, with a strange light in his eyes, and said, "It will take two more hours for Huangfuyi to reach the capital!"

"I'm guessing right, this Majesty doesn't trust anyone, treats everyone like pawns, and even prepared several plans, or, even if we don't capture Cao Sui, this Majesty still has a way to escape or capture Cao Sui Kill it!" Liu De thought to himself.

Liu De paused for a moment and continued: "Then I would like to guard the palace for two hours for Your Majesty, and I also ask Your Majesty to hand over the command of the Forbidden Army to me!"

"Okay! Uncle Wang, hand over the Tiger Talisman to General Yangwei!" Ji Yuanwu said.

"Yes!" King Luan replied, took out a Tiger Talisman from his bosom and handed it to Liu De. Liu De knelt down on one knee and took the Tiger Talisman solemnly.

"So, our lives are entrusted to the general!" Ji Yuanwu said.

"I will live up to your Majesty's trust!" Liu De cupped his hands and led Dian Wei, Qin Qiong and others out of the main hall. Before leaving, he saw Chen He who was on the side of the main hall, and Chen He nodded slightly as a signal.

Liu De took Dian Wei and others to Wuying Gate, summoned several leading captains, showed the tiger talisman in their hands, and quickly took over the military power. When the captains saw the tiger talisman, they hurriedly accepted the order and expressed their willingness to wait for Liu De. sent by Germany.

Liu De then ordered: "Qin Qiong and Zhou Cang listen to the order!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"Order you two to lead four thousand forbidden troops to guard the Wuying Gate, and don't let the enemy invade the palace!"

"Obey!" The two took orders.

"Where are Dian Wei and Xu Hu?"

"The end is here!"

"The two of you lead the rest of the forbidden army to follow me from the gate of Bacheng to the rear of the enemy army, and surprise the enemy army!"

"Yes!"

Dian and Wei shouted in unison.

"The other generals perform their duties, so don't neglect them!"

"The last general takes orders!"

"Let's go!" Liu De ordered.

There is a huge distance between Bacheng Gate in the east and Wuying Gate in the south. Even with full acceleration, it will take half an hour to get there. Liu De only hopes that Qin and Qiong can hold on for half an hour, otherwise the imperial city will be in danger!

......

Relying on his prestige and the news that Cao Sui had been beheaded, Li Zhen asked for thousands of soldiers from more than a dozen big families. Now Li Zhen has nearly 3000 soldiers in his hands, and he is quite courageous. The gentry not only dispatched the servants of the mansion, but also asked the family's nephews to join Li Zhen's command.

"Lord Li! My lord still has a general in the city, who is also a generation with high martial arts skills. Why don't you invite him to come, and increase the chances of winning for our army!" Guan Yu begged Li Zhen.

"I didn't expect that there are so many loyal and righteous men under General Yangwei's command. I really envy you!" Li Zhen looked at the majestic Guan Yu in front of him with a smile on his face. Effectiveness, in Li Zhen's view, Liu De is just a border city lord, how can He De make many warriors work.

I am the third prince of the current dynasty, with a noble status, and being loyal to myself, glory and wealth are at your fingertips. Wouldn't it be better than going back to that bitter cold place?

It's a pity that Guan Yu turned a blind eye to Li Zhen's solicitation. Li Zhen was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but he still had a smile on his face, which made people feel like a spring breeze, and he couldn't see his dissatisfaction at all.

Li Zhen sent one of his men to bring Guan Yu's letter to Jingzhaoyin Prison to recruit Peng Yue.Li Zhen continued to lead three thousand soldiers to the city wall.
