Chapter 3918 The end of the hero
Chapter 1962: The End of the Hero
Changsun Wuji was silent for a moment, confused and confused.
Rain gurgled outside the window, and there was dead silence inside and outside the hall. Everyone was waiting for his decision...
After a long time, Changsun Wuji closed his eyes and slowly exhaled, his voice hoarse and even trembling slightly: "Send the order, all the troops in Taiji Palace will withdraw, leave the city from Mingde Gate, rest and rush to Zhongnan Mountain. Inform Yu Sui Gu, let him fight However, everything must be done to stop the Youtun Guards' sudden attack. Guan Long's life and death are in his hands. I am also stationed in Yanshoufang. If he cannot stop the Youtun Guards, then let the enemy attack me and cut me into pieces, and also destroy the Taiji Palace. All the troops inside were surrounded and killed.”
He single-handedly created the unprecedented glory of Guanlong, making every family in Guanlong rank among the "clan annals", surpassing those aristocratic families in Shandong and Jiangnan that have been inherited for more than a thousand years, and are extremely glorious. But it was he who single-handedly planned this mutiny, trying to reverse Guan Long's decline and turn the tide, but he pushed Guan Long into the abyss of almost destruction.
Now let him personally issue the order to retreat and admit that the mutiny failed. The huge blow and frustration turned into unstoppable decadence and pessimism, and his ambitions were all in vain.
In particular, the descendants of the eldest son's family, which was prosperous in the past, have withered away, and the most promising children have died in the war. In addition, the eldest son's family has been the first to bear the brunt of the defeat. Not until the future...
He is the hero of the Changsun family and also the sinner of the Changsun family.
The will to live and die has emerged...
Yu Wenshiji was shocked and dissuaded him: "How can the auxiliary aircraft be like this? Let's withdraw from Chang'an and station in Zhongnan Mountain. When Li Ji leads his army back to Beijing, we may not be unable to negotiate with him. We may not be unable to gain opportunities. No matter who controls the government in the future, we will need to Let’s go against Shandong , Jiangnan and other families! As long as the Guanlong inheritance is preserved, they will be able to make a comeback one day! Auxiliary machine, you are the leader of Guanlong, and the Guanlong families still need you to lead them out of the trough. Don't be depressed, it's over. .”
At this point in the situation, everyone including Yu Wenshi and Long Xungui could not help but feel resentful towards Changsun Wuji. If Changsun Wuji hadn't been coerced by Changsun Wuji, who would be willing to take the risk and raise an army? However, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to complain any more. If you want to maintain the inheritance from the coming severe cold, or even accumulate strength and make a comeback, you can only let Changsun Wuji continue to be the leader.
Except for him, no one else has the ability to escape unscathed from the siege of the powerful families in Shandong and Jiangnan and the East Palace...
Changsun Wuji laughed miserably, holding the armrests of the chair with his palms, looking out the window at the windy and rainy sky: "In this mutiny, someone always has to stand up and take responsibility... Besides me, who else can shoulder this responsibility?" Responsibility?”
No one wants to die. Even if they are at the end of their rope and have no way to save themselves, they will still dream of surviving.
Better to die than live.
But there are some things that must be above life and death, such as family inheritance, such as the reproduction of descendants... As long as Changsun Wuji dies and takes responsibility, plus the Guanlong clan can become a powerful force against the clans of Shandong and Jiangnan. Kuai Dao, given the prince's generous and benevolent character, will probably not continue to kill the eldest grandson's family, and the same is true for Li Ji.
Yu Wenshi opened his mouth and understood that no matter what, Changsun Wuji would not be spared...
He could only say: "Who knows whether the situation will change again before the last moment? In any case, the auxiliary machine is the leader of Guanlong, so we should not give up easily."
Changsun Wuji patted the armrest of the chair and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, who is willing to die if there is a chance? As long as Li Ji agrees to our conditions, even if the prince wants to kill me, it will not be that easy. .”
Even if the East Palace turned the tide of the battle and turned defeat into victory, its strength would be greatly reduced. Li Ji led hundreds of thousands of Eastern Expedition troops to the capital, and with His Majesty's imperial edict in hand, he was bound to take the initiative in the war and dominate the court. As long as we can reach a negotiation with Li Ji, we can not only preserve the foundation of the Guanlong clan, but also eliminate the need for Changsun Wuji to bear the blame.
A living Guanlong leader is far more useful than a dead Changsun Wuji...
*****
Internal heavy door.
Guanlong's army poured into Taiji Palace like a tide, swept through most of the palace, and launched a wave of offensive towards the East Palace Liuli. Almost every Guanlong general knows the current situation. Only by completely capturing Taiji Palace can they maintain the initiative in the subsequent negotiations with Li Ji. This not only means everyone's fame and fortune, but also the future of the Guanlong clan. .
All the Guanlong generals took the lead, constantly urging their soldiers to launch a fierce attack, vowing to completely defeat the Taiji Palace as quickly as possible.
However, although the sixth rate of the East Palace was unable to withstand the tidal offensive of the Guanlong army and could only fight and retreat, they were able to maintain their retreat without chaos. At this moment, they pushed into the inner gate and relied on the thick city wall to organize defense. Under the attack of the Guanlong army, Standing still under the attack.
Everyone in the Guanlong army was red-eyed. They were about to defeat the Sixth Army of the East Palace. At the worst, they would be expelled from the Xuanwu Gate. They could completely capture the Taiji Palace, but they were unable to attack and make no progress in front of this last step. , how to be willing?
"Attack! Attack!"
"There is only one last step left, everyone must win it!"
"Life or death, fight here!"
Countless Guanlong soldiers howled and launched a daring charge with red eyes, especially the "Woye Town Private Soldiers" who were at the forefront. They were tough and tough. They had been the main force in every battle since entering the palace and suffered heavy losses. However, He is still the most elite among the Guanlong army, marching forward bravely wherever he goes.
The Sixth Army of the East Palace did not panic. They leaned against the high wall and resisted tenaciously in an organized manner.
In the inner gate, Li Jing and Zhang Shigui stood side by side. Listening to the overwhelming sound of fighting outside the door, Zhang Shigui was a little nervous: "It should be almost done, right? The rebels are attacking fiercely, and we are spending a lot of money. If there are too many casualties, it will be difficult to fight back. That would be troublesome.”
Since the day when the rebels broke out, Donggong Sixth Army has been standing at the forefront. Compared with the rebels taking turns to fight, they can only support themselves with a thin force and suffer serious attrition. Especially in a situation where they are passively beaten for a long time, the psychology and morale of the soldiers will be greatly tested, and they are likely to collapse at every turn.
Li Jing, however, was full of confidence in the Sixth Army of the East Palace he had established, and said slowly: "Don't worry, the men are already ready, and they are all holding their breath. Wait a moment, as soon as the rebels start to retreat, we will launch a counterattack immediately." .”
It is extremely risky to cower like this and allow the rebels to attack fiercely. However, the longer the delay is, the closer the Youtun Guards can be to the raid closer to Chengtian Gate. Only by completely blocking the Chengtian Gate can these troops be defeated. The rebels who invaded Taiji Palace were completely wiped out.
Zhang Shigui looked up at the inner gate tower, wiped the rain off his face, and said nothing more.
I have great admiration for Li Jing from the bottom of my heart. He led the Sixth Army of the East Palace to endure for so long and suffered huge casualties, but at this stage he was still calm and steady. Not everyone can have this kind of psychological quality.
……
The heavy armored infantry turned the West City Wai Chang Street upside down like a huge meat grinder, turning blood into rivers. The corpses of Guanlong soldiers were piled on top of each other, slowly but surely advancing towards Yanshoufang. Countless Guanlong troops came like a tide. , trying to stop the footsteps of the heavily armored infantry, but it was like waves hitting the rocks, spraying blood foam all over the sky, unable to move the slightest bit.
A strange force suddenly came out from behind the Bosihu Temple on the north side and plunged into the rear formation of heavy armored infantry, trying to cut off the heavy armored infantry.
Sun Renshi, who was guarding the rear army, immediately led his sword and shield soldiers to fight out and fight with the rebels. The reason why Youtunwei's combat power far exceeds that of the general army is that in addition to being well-trained and experienced in continuously participating in major battles, its sophisticated equipment is also the best among the entire army.
Even the most ordinary soldiers wear leather armor and use iron plates to cover important parts, so they are easily protected from fatal injuries. The horizontal knife in his hand was purchased from Fangjia Iron Factory. It has moderate carbon content and is sharp and tough. Even the few rebel generals wearing leather armor can be easily cut open by this horizontal knife. Heavy damage.
Not to mention that Youtunwei adopts a "recruitment system" with pay, which is completely different from the "mansion system" of ordinary armies. The morale of the army is already higher, and the quality of the soldiers is even more outstanding. These seemingly The heroic but disorganized rebels are not enough to watch...
The unexpected soldiers that suddenly emerged failed to pose a threat to the heavily armored infantry. The vanguard troops still marched forward bravely on the corpses of the rebels. Blood spattered everywhere and stumps were everywhere, and they quickly advanced towards Yanshoufang. (End of chapter)
