Chapter 1956 The North Gate Battle Begins
Chapter 1954: The North Gate Battle Begins
Yuan Tiangang and Ziyang Zhenren suddenly smiled with satisfaction when they saw Hu Hai opening the north door.
At first, they thought Hu Hai's plan was a bit crude, and they were ready to take action personally, but they didn't expect Hu Hai to actually succeed.
Once the north gate is opened, the army from outside the city enters the city, and the Tang army enters Luoyang. There is obviously no suspense.
Yuan Tiangang and Ziyang Zhenren looked at each other and smiled, but at the next moment, both of them looked horrified at the same time, and both slashed in the direction of Prince Qin's palace.
"This aura is...Mr. Dong." Yuan Tiangang said solemnly.
“It actually forced Dong Zhongshu, the great master, to burn his inner strength. It seems that the Qin army’s hidden power should not be underestimated.” Master Ziyang said with the same solemn expression.
"Dong Lao was forced to this point. It seems that the imperialist party's coup plan has failed."
“The little emperor is still of great use to the master, we must rescue him.”
“That’s right, now that the north gate has been broken, it’s only a matter of time before we completely occupy Luoyang. With our two great masters, what’s the danger?”
“Let’s go.”
Yuan Tiangang and Ziyang Zhenren fled into the city here.
On the other side, Ying Gao, the defender of the north gate, saw a large group of Tang troops suddenly appearing outside the city. He believed that the Tang troops were going to attack the city while the Qin army was quelling the civil strife, and immediately ordered the gate tower defenders to stand ready.
Looking at the Tang army lining up outside the city, a hint of excitement flashed in Ying Gao's eyes, and he ordered: "Prepare the archers and catapults. Once the Tang army enters the shooting range, they will launch immediately. There is no need to save crossbow stones."
)
Not long after the military order was issued, Yinggao noticed something was wrong. The siege formation of the Tang Army actually moved out of the way, and then the troops of the brigade came up and replaced the infantry at the forefront of the army.
Several question marks suddenly appeared on Yinggao's forehead.
What kind of operation did the Tang army do? Did they want to use cavalry to attack, no, to attack the city gate?
Even a novice who doesn’t understand the art of war would not be able to attack a city wall with his flesh and blood. How could Li Shimin, who has experienced hundreds of battles, do such a stupid thing?
Yinggao was really puzzled by this, but he soon understood the reason.
…
The sound of opening the door sounded, and the Tang army immediately launched an attack on Luoyang City.
"kill."
The cavalry of the Tang army roared angrily, and the horses under their crotches also neighed, and swept towards Luoyang with the force of black clouds overwhelming the city.
Ying Gao, who was on the city tower, immediately realized that something was wrong with the city gate, and quickly asked to his left and right: "What's going on over there at the city gate?"
“The general is in trouble, the main gate suddenly opened wide.”
With Luoyang's a huge city — it naturally couldn't have just one door. The north gate had thirteen gates, big and small, and the main entrance was the largest one.
"What?"
Ying Gao was shocked and said angrily: "Is Guo Wei a traitor?"
Ying Gao realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly shouted this order: "All the archers should focus on the main entrance to fire, and the Tang army must not be allowed to ride in."
For a time, arrows rained down from the north gate tower, and a large number of flying stones fell, killing one knight after another.
Can this stop Li Tang's cavalry?
It is naturally impossible.
Of course Yinggao knew this. The only way to prevent the Tang army's cavalry from entering the city was to close the open city gate as quickly as possible, so he ordered:
"The guard battalion followed the general down to the city tower to kill the traitor Guo Wei. The third and fourth battalions immediately gathered at the city gate. In addition, please inform my wife about the situation at the north gate quickly. The north gate needs the support of troops from the other gates."
Yinggao is worthy of being an outstanding disciple that the Qin family has vigorously cultivated. He realized the crisis of the situation in an instant, and the three orders he issued in succession were the most correct decisions for the current Beimen.
Yinggao led the guard camp and went down to the city tower angrily, wanting to kill the traitor he thought was the traitor. However, he learned halfway that the traitor was not Guo Wei, but his good brother Hu Hai.
“This is absolutely impossible.”
Ying Gao grabbed the soldier by the collar, picked him up, and roared: "Brother Hai, his surname is Qin, how could he betray his own kin?"
Hu Hai and Ying Gao were both sons of the First Emperor, and their implanted identities were naturally from the same mother. This was also the reason why Hu Hai chose to come to the North Gate. After all, the North Gate guard was his brother, and he would not die even if he failed. worries.
Seeing that Ying Gao didn't believe it, the soldiers became anxious and said quickly: "General, this is true. Master Qin Hai first faked military orders and deceived Colonel Guo Wei, and then called at the city gate. Now Colonel Guo Wei is fighting to the death at the main gate. You can see it when the general goes there.”
Ying Gao let go and ran towards the main gate with his soldiers without looking back. After all, there was no point in breaking this kind of lie.
Yinggao moved very quickly. The scattered cavalry of the Tang Army rushed into the city after breaking through the rain of arrows and stones of the Qin Army. Not long after, Yinggao had already arrived at the main gate and witnessed Guo Wei's tragic death. He was named the hand of the Tang general, and Hu Hai stood next to the Tang general with an apologetic smile.
Brother Hai actually betrayed the Qin family and opened the north gate that he, his biological brother, guarded.
Seeing this scene, Ying Gao felt dizzy for a moment, and then endless sorrow and anger surged into his heart.
“Qin Hai, you deserve to die.”
Yinggao roared like a wild beast, stared at the scarlet tiger eyes, and killed Hu Hai with a knife.
Yinggao didn't know why Hu Hai rebelled against Qin, and he didn't want to know. No matter what Hu Hai's difficulties were, Yinggao, as his elder brother, would not understand or forgive him. Today he would clean up the Qin family.
At the gate of the city, Yu Wentai saw Ying Gao rushing over and asked Hu Hai next to him: "Who is he?"
Hu Hai said: "It's my brother."
“Can you say surrender?”
“I’m afraid not.”
“Can I kill him?”
Hearing what Yu Wentai said, Hu Hai said decisively without any hesitation: "Okay."
Yu Wentai showed a smile, patted Hu Hai on the shoulder, swung his sword to kill Ying Gao, and fought with him.
Yu Wentai just left, but Zhuang Zhou, Yun Zhongzi, and Cihang appeared behind Hu Hai without anyone noticing.
"Master Qin Hai, please come. The King of Tang has been waiting for a long time." Zhuang Zhou said with a smile.
Hu Hai was frightened. After regaining his composure, he honestly put on the armor of the Tang Army and left Luoyang under the protection of more than a dozen heavy knights and two masters.
But arrows are still being fired from the city tower. Without armor or guards, Hu Hai would not dare to leave the city.
"That's right. Not all the Qin family are staunch warriors. There will also be trash like Qin Hai who is greedy for life and afraid of death." Master Cihang said with a smile.
“Okay, let’s enter the city.” Zhuang Zhou said calmly.
Yun Zhongzi pointed to Yuwentai and said, "Do you want to solve this problem first?"
Zhuang Zhou shook his head: "No need, General Yuwen is enough to kill him."
The three great masters ignored the two sides in the melee, and strode towards Luoyang City at a speed that seemed slow but was actually extremely fast, to fight with Yuan Tiangang and Ziyang Zhenren.
