Invincible son

Chapter 1054 1055 [If there is love in the sky, the sky will be old] ([-])
There were originally 200 defenders at the city gate, and there were also masters from the Dudufu of the Five Armies, Taishitai Pavilion and Luanyiwei for cross-surveillance.

A line of defense was also set up in the city defense area to prevent the rebels from peeping at the city gate.

Ordinarily, Xiao Jin's arrangement was thorough enough. Even if the city defenders were stroked and someone tried to fish in troubled waters, it would be impossible to forcibly open the city gate under the constraints of many forces.

However, Wang Pingzhang, like a prophet, predicted Xiao Jin's method extremely accurately, which showed that he had a thorough research on this first-class Marquis of Xiangcheng.

The three tunnels were not connected to the outside of the city, because under the command of Xiao Jin, the soldiers of the garrison division had already made preparations to prevent the rebels from digging tunnels and causing the city wall to collapse.

The tunnel actually leads to somewhere in the city, which shows that Wang Pingzhang started planning tonight's battle a long time ago.

After a brief absence, the goalkeepers immediately lined up to meet the enemy.

The rushing rebels were not only proficient in battlefield coordination, but also possessed outstanding martial arts skills. They formed a sharp assault formation in the dark night, and their long knives, which were easy to chop, glowed with a cold light.

As soon as the two sides came into contact, more than a dozen defenders were killed on the spot. Although the rest fought hard, they were still oppressed by the rebels and retreated step by step.Being selected by Wang Pingzhang to carry out this crucial task, the hundreds of dead rebel soldiers were naturally not idle people. From their cold expressions and indifferent eyes, it can be perceived that these people are powerful and fearless.

During the chaotic battle, a doctor from Taishitai Pavilion looked at the face of a certain rebel army and said in surprise, "You are the Tiger and Leopard Camp!"

None of the dead rebels opened their mouths, they only had the city gate in front of them, and anyone who stood in the way would be crushed to pieces.As for whether the enemy fell first or they died in the process, they didn't care at all.

This extreme indifference to life and death caused chills in the hearts of the defenders involuntarily, and the words "Tiger and Leopard Camp" blurted out by the doctor pushed the atmosphere of the battlefield to an extremely tragic situation.

When Wang Pingzhang was the commander-in-chief of the Western Camp, he chose elite Tigers and Ben to form the Tiger and Leopard Camp in the army, just like the Beiwei Camp for Pei Yue, or the camp formed by the children of the Pingjiang Fang family in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.The Tiger and Leopard Camp was very famous back then, even more popular than the current Zangfengwei, but after Wang Pingzhang entered the West Mansion, their reputation gradually faded with the passage of time.

But the establishment survived.

The Tiger and Leopard Battalion had never appeared in the Yanping Conference in the past, so many people have long forgotten how powerful and terrifying this Guards Battalion is.

When the time came to the early summer of the seventh year of Kaiping, the Tiger and Leopard Battalion once again showed their fangs, brazenly tearing a gap in the very complete defense line of Kyoto.

Almost at the same time as they smashed through the formation of the goalkeepers, two hundred brave men rushed here under the leadership of Yin Dao and Gu Zong.

At this critical moment of success or failure, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion were extremely calm. They immediately dispatched 50 people to intercept the reinforcements from the garrison division, while the rest continued to advance towards the city gate.

Yin Dao and Gu Zong sent people to quickly notify the commander Pei Cheng on the city wall, and at the same time led their subordinates to kill the enemy desperately.

There were only 50 people on the other side, but they stood in front of them like a towering and solid wall. Even though people kept falling down, the living people never took a half step back.

At the end of Yin time, just half an hour after Wang Pingzhang ordered the siege of the city, the west gate of Kyoto was opened by the dead soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Camp.

The heavily armored infantry who had been waiting outside the city poured in like a torrent!

……

Six or seven miles away from the south of Kyoto, there is a large formation of the Chinese Army in the South Camp.

Wang Pingzhang stood on the chariot in military uniform, looking at the mighty city in the night, and roughly judged the trend of the battle by the dots of fire.

Dingjun Hou Luo Huanzhang was standing beside him, with a stern expression on his face that had experienced many vicissitudes.

After a while, a horse came galloping up, and the knight said loudly: "My lord, the west gate of the capital has been opened. The Longshan Guard of Xiying entered the city according to the original plan, but was blocked by the defenders in the city. Now they are fighting for the city. The door. The Marquis of Changxing ordered the villain to come forward and report that Xiying will definitely fulfill the lord's instructions and take Xicheng before sunrise!"

There was excited applause from all around, Wang Pingzhang still looked calm, after slightly nodding his head, he turned to look at Luo Huanzhang and said: "Xiao Jin used troops cautiously and calmly, although our offensive for half an hour was extremely fierce, it was far from forcing him out." Backhand. Although the west gate is open, it is not so easy to completely defeat the defense of the West City garrison."

He paused slightly, and said calmly: "The old man concludes that even if the west gate is opened, Longshanwei will definitely not be able to control the situation in a short time, and it will become a Shura field where there will be repeated scrambles. Therefore, Xiao Jin cannot be allowed to easily dispatch troops will close the gap to the west."

A sharp light appeared in Luo Huanzhang's eyes, he took a light breath and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Luo, Xiao Jin will have no time for him."

Wang Pingzhang sighed, "It's time to work."

Luo Huanzhang jumped off the chariot and said without looking back: "As long as the Duke remembers the agreement between you and me, even if he dies in battle today, Luo will have no regrets."

Although he is over fifty years old, he is still striding forward when he moves. Naturally, he wants to go to the front of the battle and launch a fierce offensive against the southern city of Kyoto, forcing Xiao Jin to invest in reserve forces here, creating an opportunity for Qujiang to capture the western city.

Wang Pingzhang watched him go, then stepped off the chariot calmly, looked at Wang Jiuxuan standing beside him and said, "There is something wrong with Luo Kedi's letter. If he really killed Yang Yingji and others, you should take someone to take over. , rather than continue to sit on the sidelines."

Wang Jiuxuan's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandfather is saying that not only did he not succeed, but he was controlled by the generals of the Northern Camp?"

Wang Pingzhang said calmly: "There is no need to doubt Luo Huanzhang's position. Luo Kedi will not betray his father. If he misses and is countered by the generals of the Northern Camp, even if he does not die on the spot, he will not write that letter to paralyze the old man. Under the current situation, the generals in the northern camp can't make Luo Kedi willing to use him, unless..."

A cold killing intent appeared in Wang Jiuxuan's eyes, and he said slowly: "Unless Pei Yue has quietly returned to Beijing, only he can surrender Luo Kedi."

Although he seemed calm on the surface in the past six months, he actually wanted to chop off Pei Yue's head all the time.If it wasn't for the trap of the night attack by the other courtyard in the northern suburbs, and Lan Zhiqiu's inexplicable betrayal, he would not have lost his post as commander of the imperial army, and Wang Pingzhang would not have taken the last step.A few years ago, after Pei Yue gained power, he confronted the Wang family tit for tat and pressed on step by step. Perhaps this was the reason why Emperor Kaiping decided to wipe out Wei Guogong's mansion.

If Wang Pingzhang still had the idea of ​​easing the relationship before, then the prospect of Emperor Kaiping abolishing Wang Jiuxuan made him completely give up.

Everything in the world has a cause and effect, and in Wang Jiuxuan's view, Pei Yue is the root cause of all problems.

Wang Pingzhang looked at his eldest grandson, and said leisurely: "After seeing the strangeness of Luo Kedi's letter, the old man not only failed to solve the problem of the northern camp first, but launched a strong attack overnight, do you know why?"

Wang Jiuxuan pondered: "Pei Yue wanted to hide temporarily, and when grandfather was determined to attack the city, the leader walked around behind us and launched an attack by surprise."

His face suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "He will surprise the Chinese army and behead him like he did to Fang Xie Xiao!"

Wang Pingzhang smiled gratifiedly, nodded and said: "So the old man complied with his wish and gave him a chance to catch the cicada."

Wang Jiuxuan's mood became eager, and he said solemnly: "Grandson is willing to kill this person for grandfather."

Wang Pingzhang said: "Pingnan Guard is nothing to be afraid of. Although Wu Ding Guard is brave and valiant, I have already placed the Xiao Cavalry Guard in the north of the city. You can take the Long Xiang Guard with you. The cavalry has the advantage over the infantry and the strength of the troops. Pei Yue can't go against the sky. Just go. After he leads the army out of the camp, you can attack him halfway."

Wang Jiuxuan bowed to accept the order.

Wang Pingzhang said again: "Jiuxuan, now there is no need to hide your clumsiness."

Wang Jiuxuan straightened up slowly, and said firmly, "Yes, grandfather."

Immediately turned around and strode away.

Wang Pingzhang looked across the vast night and landed on the majestic city wall of Kyoto in the north, and he whispered to himself: "Your Majesty, I have never dared to underestimate your methods, so I never thought that you can kill the king with only the eight-ox crossbow. As for the assassination on the Altar of Sacrifice to Heaven, the veteran suspects that His Majesty, after catching the assassin in advance, used his confidant's life to complete a fake assassination in order to confuse the veteran."

"But the old minister really wants to tell His Majesty that the old minister did not install an assassin in the court guard. It is obvious that there is someone else behind the assassin."

Wang Pingzhang seemed a little regretful, and said with some relief: "The imperial palace may not be the safest place in the world. It's a pity that your Majesty will never hear the old minister's words again."
