Chapter 2491 Li Cunxiao breaks Chang'an on horseback
Chapter 2487: Li Cunxiao breaks Chang'an on horseback
“Report...to my lord, eighteen generals including Hua Xiong, Li Jue, and Li Jing have all rebelled.”
After hearing this, Li Shimin overturned the table in anger.
He has been fighting in the world for so many years, and apart from Li Si, there has never been a traitor among his men. He didn't expect that so many of his trusted generals would betray him together.
After venting his anger, Li Shimin forced himself to calm down and asked: "Rebels have appeared in the north, east, and south of the city. What about the west of the city?"
“The signal for the rebels’ rebellion was sent from the west of the city.”
Hearing this, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Shigui, you have failed me in my new appointment.
Immediately, two generals, Li Yuanba and Wei Hu, led their troops to exterminate the rebels in the west of the city. Since the signal of rebellion was sent from the west of the city, the west of the city must be the core area of the rebels. "
)
Shortly after the soldiers left, another soldier came to report: "Report...to inform my lord that the camp in the north of the city and the Flying Bear Army have been controlled by the rebel Hua Xiong.
Now General Hua Xiong is leading the Flying Bear Army to attack the North Gate, and the brothers at the North Gate will not be able to hold on any longer. "
“Damn it.”
Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily. He had tried his best to overestimate Li Si's ability to instigate rebellion, but he did not expect that he still underestimated it. He did not expect that more than half of the army would fall to Da Qin.
There is a saying: the tree falls and the hozens scatter.
But before the tree of Li Shimin fell down, the gang of hozens under his command had already dispersed, which was really annoying.
The reason why the whole city rebelled was mainly because in the Battle of Haojing, Li Shimin's trusted troops were exhausted, while troops such as Hua Xiong and Li Jue who were not taken seriously fled back.
In addition, Zhang Shigui and Li Jing, who were well-established in the city, also turned to the Qin army, which resulted in a situation where more than half of the army rebelled.
Li Shimin felt regretful in his heart. If he had known that this would be the situation, he should have reconciled with Li Sixu and wait until they had sufficient confidence to show their cards, instead of alerting the enemy so quickly.
Li Shimin thought this because he was frightened by the size of the rebels. He was a little lost for a while, but in fact he had made the most correct decision.
The only way out for him is to cut through the mess with a quick knife. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be to him.
"The North Gate must not be occupied by Hua Xiong. Tell the North Gate guard Hou Junji and ask him to hold on a little longer. Reinforcements will arrive soon."
After saying this, Li Shimin suppressed the anger in his heart and began to close his eyes and think about where to mobilize his troops.
Seeing this, Jiang Shang seemed hesitant to speak. Finally, he couldn't hold back and was about to speak, but Li Shimin opened his eyes on his own.
“Who are the generals who still have military power but have not raised the flag of rebellion?” Li Shimin asked quickly.
“None of the four generals Zhao She, Yu Wentai, Li Maozhen, and Li Longji rebelled.”
Hearing this, Li Shimin smiled bitterly in his heart.
Li Maozhen and Li Longji suffered considerable casualties in the Chang'an riot, while Zhao She and Yu Wentai's troops were both maimed.
Zhao She had only a thousand soldiers left under his command, and Yu Wentai only had more than 300 soldiers.
The total strength of the four armies is less than 10,000. What use can this small number of troops do?
After thinking for a while, Li Shimin ordered: "Instruct Li Longji to allocate two thousand to Yu Wentai, and then allocate 1,500 to Zhao She, and the remaining troops will be transferred to Tang Gong's Mansion to protect him.
Yu Wentai led the army to support Hou Junji of the North Gate, while Zhao She led the army to support Yin Kaishan of the East Gate.
As for the south gate..."
At this point, Li Shimin stopped because he had no more generals to shoot.
Li Maozhen was transferred by him to guard the Imperial City, so naturally he could not move lightly. After all, the grain warehouse, treasury and armory were all in the Imperial City. If something went wrong, it would be completely over.
As for Li Longji? Judging from his previous performance of being unable to control the army, asking him to support Nanmen would be equivalent to giving away lives.
With this thought, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "Tell Gao Xingzhou, the guard of the south gate, to insist on holding on for another hour. Yuanba will soon pacify the rebels in the west of the city, and then immediately go to the south of the city."
)
At this point, Li Shimin could only try to delay as much time as possible, and then placed his hope on his younger brother Li Yuanba to suppress the Xicheng rebels as soon as possible, and then sweep away the rebels in the rest of the city.
Jiang Shang, who wanted to speak up, saw Li Shimin's arrangement and said nothing more, because he had no better way to deal with it.
North of the city.
Hua Xiong served as the commander of the Flying Bear Army during the Dong Zhuo period. He promoted many generals in the Flying Bear Army, so he easily regained control of the Flying Bear Army.
With the Flying Bear Army under control, everything will be easier to handle.
Because Hua Xiong's rebellion was too sudden, the Tang Army generals in the camp had no time to react, and were controlled by Hua Xiong in one fell swoop.
The next process is naturally to accept those who are willing to rebel together, but to kill those who are unwilling.
Most of the generals of the Tang Army in Beiying chose to surrender, but there were also some who were die-hard loyal to Li Shimin. Naturally, these people were dealt with by Hua Xiong. However, there was one tough nut that was not so easy to deal with. He was Master Shang.
After taking control of Beiying, he immediately mobilized all his troops and surrounded Master Shang and his disciples, hoping to use the opportunity to persuade Master Shang and his disciples to surrender. After all, there were not many veteran generals in the Xiliang clan.
Hua Xiong originally thought that in this situation, as long as he showed emotion and acted with reason, he could persuade Master Shang and his disciples to surrender, but he didn't expect that this man was like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard, and no matter what he said, he would be able to persuade him to surrender. He is willing to surrender, even if Dong Xiaowan takes action, he cannot be convinced.
As a veteran of the Xiliang faction, Master Shang initially served Yang Jian. After being captured alive by Li Shimin, he also had to go to great lengths to subdue him.
Hua Xiong and Dong Xiaowan wanted to persuade Master Shang and his disciples to surrender with just one word. This was naturally impossible, so a fierce conflict broke out between the two parties.
The troops of Master Shang and his disciples had been completely destroyed in the Battle of Haojing, with only more than 200 soldiers left. Naturally, they could not be the opponent of Hua Xiong's 5,000-strong army.
After the battle, Master Shang and his disciples' two hundred soldiers were quickly killed, but Hua Xiong suffered more than three hundred casualties. Master Shang and his disciples relied on their own bravery to act as spearmen. They were forcibly killed from Beiying. , go.
Hua Xiong was worried that Master Shang and his disciples were going to attack Hou Junji in Gaomi. Naturally, he would not give Hou Junji a chance to prepare, so he immediately commanded his army to rush towards the north gate. Faced with Hua Xiong's attack, Hou Junji could only fight hastily, but his northern camp was already controlled by Hua Xiong, and the troops at the north gate were much smaller than Hua Xiong's, so he was naturally beaten one after another. Defeated.

The current strength of Hua Xiong has increased to 105;】
Hua Xiong, who was beheaded by Guan Yu Wenjiu a while ago, has now grown into a powerful general at the level of a god. However, if he had returned to normal, he might not be alive now.
Hua Xiong's experience in this life is simply legendary. He served three lords, Dong Zhuo, Yang Jian, and Li Shimin, and participated in many major events such as the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han and Ming dynasties' struggle for hegemony, the war between heroes against Dong, the war between Li and Yang, and the war between kings against Qin. He has also fought against Li Yuanba, Yuwen Chengdu, Lu Bu, Mu Guiying, Li Cunxiao and others, but he is still alive and well. He can almost be regarded as the Hua Xiong who has lived the longest.
This time when Li Tang declined, Hua Xiong listened to Dong Xiaowan and decided to join Ying Hao's Qin Dynasty. This was obviously a very correct decision.
If you want to survive in troubled times, standing in a good team is often more important than your own strength.
After Hua Xiong killed three military princes in a row, Yu Houjun fought together. After twenty rounds of fighting, his body actually began to improve rapidly.
[Ding dong, Hua Xiong’s skill ‘Crit’ is activated, the force is +6, the current force is increased to 111;]
bump…
Hua Xiong slashed down with all his strength. Hou Junji blocked with his sword, but was knocked away. He fell to the ground and vomited blood.
Poof…
Hua Xiong knew that Hou Junji was a die-hard loyalist of Li Shimin, so he had no intention of persuading him to surrender. He stepped forward and prepared to kill Hou Junji, but his killing blow was blocked by a spear. It is Master Shang and his disciple.
Master Shang and his apprentice shot Hua Xiong back with a backhand shot, then stood behind Hou Junji to protect him, and said in a deep voice: "General Hou, you retreat first, leave this place to me."
“General Shang, be careful.”
Hou Junji covered his chest and fled the north gate with the support of his own soldiers, but handed over the command to Hou Junji.
Hua Xiong did not stop him, but stared at Master Shang and his disciples. After the weak period of "critical attack" passed, he decisively swung his sword to fight Master Shang and his disciples.
If Master Shang and his disciples were in their heyday, Hua Xiong would naturally not be his opponent. However, Master Shang and his disciples were seriously injured in the battle of Haojing. The injuries have not yet recovered, and their combat power has also been greatly reduced. Then Hua Xiong naturally has nothing to fear.
Hua Xiong, who has a base of 100, and his master and disciple Shang, who has a base of 104, are fighting. They are both veterans of Xiliang, and they had a good personal relationship before, but now they are engaged in a life-and-death fight.
【Ding dong, Master Shang and Disciple activate the skill ‘Death Fight’ with effect 1, with force +4.

Hua Xiong originally wanted to take down Master Shang alone, but even if Master Shang's injuries were not healed, he was still a peak **** general. It was impossible for Hua Xiong, a junior **** general, to defeat him, so they couldn't fight. After thirty moves, Hua Xiong was at a disadvantage.
After all, Hua Xiong’s side was outnumbered. Seeing that Hua Xiong was at a disadvantage, it was naturally impossible to watch Hua Xiong die at the hands of Master Shang and his disciples.
Dong Xiaowan asked eight Xiliang generals whose strength was between first-class and super-first-class to come to support, and with the power of nine people, he barely managed to hold off Master Shang and his disciples, who were still injured.
Seeing that Master Shang and his disciples were suppressed and the North Gate was about to be captured, Dong Xiaowan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Yu Wentai arrived in time with reinforcements, greatly reducing the pressure on Master Shang and his disciples.
Under the attack of monk Yuwentai's master and apprentice, Hua Xiong's troops, which were attacked from both sides, began to decline. They were only one step away from capturing the north gate, but now they were in danger.
Hua Xiong no longer bothered to surround Master Shang and his disciples, and commanded the Feixiong Army to defeat Yuwentai's reinforcements. However, the Feixiong Army was also crippled by the Qin army, and it was obvious that it could no longer bear such a heavy task.
Just when the two sides reached a stalemate and were about to fall into a war of attrition, a cavalry rushed towards the north gate from afar. Who could it be if it wasn't Li Cunxiao?
This time, Li Cunxiao didn't pretend anymore. He only saw the Seven-Kill Overlord Spear in his left hand, the King Yu's Gun in his right hand, riding a flaming horse on his crotch, a three-pronged flat-topped wild goose-winged purple gold crown on his head, wearing a golden dragon swallowing the sky dragon scale armor, and behind him A big red python dragon robe, a belt with eight treasures and beads, and a Qingping sword hanging on it.
Except for Li Cunxiao, the best general in the world, no one would look like this and dare to rush into Chang'an alone.
Li Cunxiao had been wandering outside Chang'an City. After seeing Ban Chao's signal to raise troops in advance, he also knew that something must have changed in Chang'an City, so he immediately came to support Ban Chao.
Dong Xiaowan was naturally overjoyed when he saw Li Cunxiao coming. He decisively asked the soldiers to open the city gate and at the same time asked the soldiers to shout "Li Cunxiao is here."
When Yu Wentai saw Li Cunxiao coming, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately ordered his soldiers to recapture the city gate.
Hundreds of Tang troops swarmed forward and quickly killed all the dozens of rebels guarding the city gate. But just as they were about to close the city gate, Li Cunxiao jumped off his horse and ran directly into them.
Boom…
More than a hundred soldiers who worked together to push the door were knocked away before they had time to react. Li Cunxiao also knocked the heavy city gate open directly.
The power of a hundred people was not as strong as that of Li Cunxiao alone.
After knocking open the city gate, Li Cunxiao jumped on his horse and charged straight into the city gate. Tang Bing died instantly wherever he passed, screaming in agony, and no one could stop him for a single round.
After Master Shang and his disciples killed the traitor generals many miles away, they were about to kill the traitor Hua Xiong, but they didn't expect a ball of flames to rush toward him. When he saw the person clearly, he suddenly felt his scalp numb.
“Li Cunxiao.”
Master Shang and his disciples fought fiercely in an instant. He no longer cared about his injuries and quickly activated the secret method of internal energy operation to raise his momentum and combat power to the highest level. His whole body was instantly wrapped in cyan flames, and his whole body Like a god.
【Ding dong, Master Shang's apprentice's skill "Death Fight" has the effect of 1 consecutive shot, the force is +2+2+2, and the current force is increased to 122; 】
