Invincible son

Chapter 1073 1074 [The righteous way in the world is vicissitudes] ([-])

The sharp sound of ringing gold resounded through the northern city of Kyoto.

After hearing the order to retreat, many rebel soldiers involuntarily showed a dazed expression, and many of them even lost their lives under the swords and guns of the imperial army.They didn't understand why they had to give up when they were only one step away. As long as they persisted for a while, the imperial army might be defeated. When they occupied the entire palace and held the Tian family and the court officials in their hands, the outcome was still unknown.

However, Wang Pingzhang saw farther than them after all. After the army led by Pei Yue appeared, he understood that the Kyoto garrison had been under Xiao Jin's command to preserve its strength before.Now there are Gu Liang and Xiao Jin in the palace, with Pei Yue leading the troops approaching, and two large armies coming from outside the city, the situation is very clear.

If the delay continues, everyone will die in the trap that Emperor Kaiping used himself as the bait.

When [-] infantry blocked the old soldiers in Kyoto, the Xiying rebels who invaded the imperial palace quickly retreated. Wang Pingzhang, Liu Zhi, the sixth prince, Qujiang, Marquis of Changxing, Xu Shou, the governor of the five armies, and a group of generals and Wang family children Under the protection of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, he led the remnant army to retreat to the west city.

On the other side of the Royal Street, Pei Yue stopped walking after hearing the sound of gold ringing, and Qin Xian who was not far away immediately rushed over.

"Master Hou, Wang Pingzhang and Liu Zhi are going to escape!" he said loudly.

Pei Yue nodded slightly, and said quietly: "I know. Now that the Longbow Army has approached the West City, Wang Pingzhang's backhand can't hold back for too long, and the back road will be blocked soon. He can't take away too many people. Brother, I leave this place to you to command, I only have one request, that is to kill all stubborn rebels, and those who are willing to put down their weapons and surrender can be temporarily detained and wait for the court to deal with them."

As the commander of Wu Dingwei, Qin Xian has a lot of experience in leading troops and fighting, so there is no problem in acting as a temporary commander.However, he didn't immediately agree. He only looked at the wound on Pei Yue's left shoulder and said worriedly: "Master Hou, although your injury is not serious, even a hardened man can't stand continuous hard work. I implore you." Temporarily sit in the rear and command the overall situation!"

There was no smile on Pei Yue's face, and he said solemnly: "Brother, if you don't do some things yourself, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep every night for the rest of my life."

Qin Xian sighed softly and remained silent.

Pei Yue said word by word: "Send the order, counterattack!"

Looking at his firm eyes, Qin Xian bowed his head and saluted, "Follow the order!"

Three specially made fireworks exploded above the palace.

Tens of thousands of old soldiers shouted sharply at the same time.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound shook the sky.

Inside the palace, Xiao Jin and Gu Liang looked at each other with excitement in their eyes, and then they both looked at Prince Liu Xian standing in front of the gate of Chengtian Palace.

Liu Xian nodded, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers of the Forbidden Army, this is the time to set the stage for the rebellion of the Great Liang!"

"Roar!"

Thousands of people spoke in unison and rushed towards the hastily retreating rebels.

To the west of Kyoto, more than four miles away.

Gu Mang holds a spear in his hand to block the invincible. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the three fireworks that exploded at the same time in the sky of Kyoto. !"

Thousands of riders galloped across the land, and collided with the Xiying Xiao cavalry guards who were showing panic at the moment.

Behind them, the main infantry of the Longbow Army no longer cherished their physical strength to suppress their speed, and followed the road that the cavalry comrades rushed with their lives, rushing towards the capital like a surging river.

At the moment when Wang Pingzhang ordered the withdrawal of troops, all the soldiers loyal to the court poured out all the anger accumulated in their hearts for a long time, like a tragic song played between heaven and earth.

……

When all the officers and soldiers counterattacked, Pei Yue left the army composed of old soldiers, changed into his mount surrounded by more than ten soldiers, and walked straight to the north gate.

Among the soldiers, there is a man in his 30s with an ordinary face, who is Qian Bing, the former head of Taishitai Pavilion Duibu.

He is always paying attention to the surrounding environment, alert to any trouble.

After about a stick of incense, Pei Yue went out to the northwest for two or three miles, and then stopped near a gentle slope, where nearly a thousand fierce knights were sitting on the ground to recharge their batteries.

Seeing Pei Yue's figure appear, everyone immediately got up and walked to their mounts.

Deng Zai, the commander of the Beiwei battalion, stepped forward and saluted, "Master."

Pei Yue said softly, "Everything is normal?"

Deng Zai replied: "Yes, young master. The overall situation in the capital has been settled, where else can Wang Pingzhang escape?"

Pei Yue said unhurriedly: "People like Wang Pingzhang and Liu Zhi don't turn back until they hit the south wall, and they don't necessarily turn back after hitting the south wall. They can't be willing to sit and wait for death. Since they can't do anything, they will naturally seek escape. Road. Wang Pingzhang must have made plans to retreat a long time ago, maybe he thought we would set our sights on the south."

"South? Xiongwu Hou Lanyu?" Deng Zai said subconsciously.

Pei Yue said softly: "It's a dead end for him to flee to the south, so even if he flees south, it's just a suspicion."

Deng Zai nodded yes.

Pei Yue reined in the reins, with a gentle look in his eyes, looking around at the loyal subordinates who were silent but had a strong force, and asked loudly: "Can you still fight?"

The Beiwei camp moved with him to various places today. First, the surprise soldiers raided the southern camp and broke through the [-] guards around Luo Huanzhang, allowing him to get close to Luo Huanzhang and persuade him to relieve the urgent need for the defenders of the capital.If Luo Huanzhang hadn't been held back on the edge of the cliff, once Nanying had invaded the capital and approached the imperial palace, today's victory would be hard to predict.

After solving the siege of the capital, Pei Yue took them on a long-distance raid, rushed to the north to listen to Yungang and beheaded three thousand cavalry guards, and Pei Yue even killed Wang Jiuxuan.

Although only two battles were fought, this kind of repeated long-distance sprints, coupled with extremely high-intensity hand-to-hand combat, was an extremely severe test for the cavalry.Fortunately, the Beiwei Battalion is an elite group selected from the Tibetan front guards, and it is equipped with one man and three horses, which can support them to complete such battlefield maneuvers.

Therefore, Pei Yue did not let them participate in the fight near the palace, but let them rest here in advance to recover their strength.

Hearing the gentle inquiry from their own Lord Hou, the soldiers patted their chests and said, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, we will never embarrass you!"

Pei Yue smiled and said: "To win the last battle, in addition to the military merits awarded by the court as usual, I will give you another year's salary as a reward, and give each of you half a month's leave."

All the soldiers cheered: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for the reward!"

Pei Yue sighed softly, the soldiers under his command were the leaders of the Liang army in terms of treatment, but they were still so easy to satisfy.

They are all a group of ordinary good sons who can stand up at critical moments, but they will fall into this tragedy of cannibalism.

Pei Yue's mind echoed the suppressed cries of those Daliang people who were taken away by the barbarians in the depths of the wilderness north of the Kuta Mountains.

He took a deep breath, turned the horse's head and said loudly: "Let's go!"

The horse stepped on the remnant clouds and headed west all the way.
