15. Tang An holding a bow and arrow

After sending Ming Huaiyi away, Gao Yue sent someone to take Su Yu, the captured Zhu Li's slave, in his camp.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you or harm you." Gao Yue looked happy, and then he said to Su Yu: "But please go and tell the Prince of Suining, and advise him to recognize the right and wrong in time. Anyway, he can still get pardon."

Su Yu leaned on the ground without saying a word.

"Ah, the Holy Lord also understands that when Li Huaiguang's soldiers invaded the palace, the Prince of Suining lived in Zhaoguofang. He was unable to escape and fell into the thief. It can be said that he was involuntarily. Yue knew that the Prince of Suining was a loyal minister for life, and all his actions were definitely not from his heart." After saying that, Gao Yue raised his pen and wrote the letter in detail, then hid it in a wax ball, and asked Su Yu to give it to Zhu Li.

Then Gao Yue warned Su Yu seriously that Jingyuan had been pacified and Fengxiang's restoration was just around the corner. My father-in-law had led the Shuofang army to attack Changwu City, Bining. Why is Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie afraid? If the prince of Suining still relies on them, there is no future. Yue's heartfelt words, please tell the prince of Suining.

After saying that, Gao Yue sent Su Yu away.

In the following days, Jiguan Mountain and Duyang Valley, the camps of the two armies were trapped in a silent confrontation, as quiet as the snow falling from Fengxiang all over the mountains and valleys.

But in Fengtian City, the snow was completely melted by the boiling fire!

Just the day before yesterday, Li Huaiguang personally led his troops to attack the barriers of the branch city in Mogu, and Gao Chongjie, who was defending here, and his subordinates fought to the death. When Li Shi, who was in the Bell Tower Pavilion in the city, saw this scene, he urgently ordered Xu Baohui to lead the troops out to support Gao Chongjie.

Hun Yu and Zhang Guangsheng both advised His Majesty that Li Huaiguang must have set up an ambush between Liangshan and Mogu, and our army should not be easily launched. General Gao Chongjie's obstacles are solid and it is no problem to stick to it until nightfall. After night, two or three hundred elite troops will be sent to reinforce, which is safer.

But the emperor refused to listen and insisted on asking Xu Baohui to lead 500 cavalrymen, rushed out of Fengtian City, and rushed to Gao Chongjie to help.

As a result, one mile outside the city, Li Huaiguang's three ambushers in the valley came out, surrounding Xu Baohui's cavalry in the core. Xu Baohui was defeated and was hit by seven or eight arrows in his armor, and all his left and right were killed and injured.

The emperor, who was so anxious that he stomped his feet, urgently ordered Zhang Guangsheng to lead another 500 troops out of the city to pick up Xu Baohui.

As soon as Zhang Guangsheng left the city, Li Huaiguang, Li Xilie and Zhu Li led their troops, rushed out from the Chisha beacon at the foot of Qianling Mountain, and kept rushing in, biting Xu Baohui and Zhang Guangsheng's men and horses. For a moment, the killing sounds shook the sky. Zhang Guangsheng gathered his team and was eager to retreat into the city. Li Huaiguang and other rebels followed closely behind. The soldiers of the two armies were crowded in front of Qiao Gate in Fengtian City, each holding long axes, swords and Modao, fighting bloody battles.

For a moment, at the tower of Fengtian Nei City, the ministers and eunuchs were not sure who they were, and shouted, "The thief has entered the city!"

Then everyone shouted like this, one more and more shrill, and the hearts of the whole city almost collapsed.

On the bell tower in the inner city, Li Shi was so scared that he sat on the spot and could not move. In the backyard, Concubine Wang summoned the family members of the prince, the princess, Tang An, Yiyang, Yanguang, etc., with tears of despair. He said that there was a well in the city. Now the thieves broke into the outer city. If you enter the inner city again, you should not be captured and humiliated by the thieves. You can jump into the well, or you can let the Shen Ce soldiers or eunuchs kill you.

Tang An immediately trembled all over, and her heart was filled with reluctance and reluctance, "I will not let you go after death..."

The Crown Princess Xiao burst into tears.

Yan Guang showed great spirit, and she stood up and pointed at her daughter and shouted: "In the past, when Mawei was not as timid as you were!"

At this time, Tang An also became ruthless, stood up, and said, "Don't panic, everyone, the heavy wall and the inner city are still there, and our female family members must also climb to the top of the city and hold their bows and arrows to resist the enemy!"

Prince Li Song also stood up and said that I would go with Tang An and my aunt.

Then Li Song, Tang An and Yan Guang personally took the bow and arrow, rushed to the heavy wall along the bell tower and the "connection platform" between the inner city. Sure enough, they saw Qiaomen on the side. The soldiers on both sides were stained with blood and crowded together like an ant colony, fighting with each other - Cai Fonu and Guo Xiaofeng stood at the city gate, wearing armor and wielding swords to fight to the death, resisting the crazy attack of the rebels.

King Shu was already standing at the heavy wall, commanding the soldiers to "push firewood and grass carts and block the city gate." His concubine, Azang from the Dangxiang clan, is now named Cui Yunshang, who is beside King Shu, holding a wooden crossbow and a waist and hip crossbow, calmly shooting out one after another, shooting out the scattered bandits who rushed in or overturned in.

Tang An's heart was about to jump out, her mind was blank, she only knew to pull out the arrow, put it on the string, then shouted angrily, and shot it out...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" It was not until an hour later that Yan Zhenqing, Xiao Fu, Xiao Xin, Guo Ai and other ministers came to the high opening of the bell tower and kept shouting loudly, and they woke up Li Shi who was panicked.

"Where is the thief?" Li Shi came to his senses and asked hurriedly.

"Hun Yu, King Shu, Gao Chongwen, the prince attacked and fought to the death. The thieves were killed hundreds of times, and they had withdrawn from Qiaomen, and the outer city was returned to our hands."

Only then did Li Shi's heart calm down.

But he later learned that at the critical moment, Gao Chongjie, who led his subordinates to counterattack without defending, rushed out of the fortress, attacked the back of the rebels fiercely, and divided the rebels' forces to make the situation turn the crisis into peace.

However, Gao Chongjie and more than a hundred subordinates did not escape and were besieged by the rebels. They all died heroically at the foot of Liangshan. Gao Chongjie's head was cut off by Li Huaiguang's subordinate Xi Xiaojun, picked it up on a long pole, stood on the Liangshan Plain, and could be seen from Fengtian City.

At the same time, during the battle at Qiaomen, General Lu Xiqian of Yulin also died in a trap. Xu Baohui and Zhang Guangsheng were injured, and the city army suffered five or six hundred casualties.

Li Shi cried and personally paid homage to Gao Chongjie's head in the bell tower.

Gao Chongjie is Gao Chongwen's consul. He has always been loyal, brave and reliable. He worked hard in Fengtianying City before. Now he is dead. Everyone in the city is sad and mourning. Gao Chongwen fainted several times.

"Your Majesty, please listen to me and watch the battle in Linxuan. Please leave the military formation to all the generals!" Then, Yan Zhenqing was furious and sat in front of Li Shi, shouting loudly to the emperor.

"You are blaming..." The emperor was dejected and retorted silently. He also understood in his heart that this battle almost ruined the entire Fengtian City because of his blind command.

At this time, above Qianling Mausoleum, Li Huaiguang, Li Xilie and Zhu Li all stood in front of the cypress forest, overlooking Fengtian City under the cherry fireworks.

"Don't fight anymore. Fengtian City is as solid as a building under Gao Yue." Li Yuanping next to him pointed to the situation around Fengtian City. He now knew that Cui Yunhe's brother-in-law, whom he was dreaming of, was Gao Yue. "There is a lake connected to Ludian in the east of the city and is a partitioned passage. It is difficult for our army's supplies to transport from Chen Tao to the slant. He can only detour Jingyang. There is a heavy walled city in Fengtian City. If the troops are stopped at the city, it will be even more difficult to escape after all the troops of the royal army gathered here."

Li Huaiguang and Li Xilie also held similar ideas.

But it was Zhu Li who was not willing to do so. "The Dayunliang of the monks of Ximing Temple will be built tomorrow. As long as you break the city, you will be accomplished. How can you give up halfway?"
