Nu Yalang of Tang Dynasty

Jinyiwei North Town Mansion.

After several explosions, the Beizhen courtyard wall collapsed, leaving a huge gap.

Ban Weizheng spat out the sand and gravel in his mouth and discovered that the enemy troops outside the courtyard were rushing towards the gap.

He stood up and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "The power of the Tang Dynasty! Kill the traitors!"

The soldiers of Beizhen picked up their weapons and followed Ban Weizheng, shouting "Tiantang" in their mouths, and rushed towards the gap.

After a while, the two armies inside and outside the courtyard wall collided with each other and began to engage in brutal hand-to-hand combat around the gap.

As rebels, Nanzhen's Jinyiwei were more sophisticated in terms of weapons and armor. Although Beizhen was inferior in preparation, they were better because of their bravery in combat and tacit cooperation.

Therefore, the two sides started fighting, and they were evenly matched. It was difficult to tell the difference, and the battle fell into a stalemate for a while.

Zhang Yanling, who was in charge of the rebel army, couldn't help being angry when he saw this situation.

In this attack on the Beizhen Prefecture, the rebels were not only outnumbered in numbers, but also supported by firearms. They originally thought that victory would be easy, but unexpectedly the war has remained stalemate until now.

Seeing the squadron guard Zheng fighting desperately behind the gap in the courtyard wall, Zhang Yanling first dismounted, then fetched weapons, led his guards to the gap, and personally directed the frontline operations.

On the one hand, Zhang Yanling ordered people to use hooks to pull down the fragile courtyard walls and expand the scope of the gap; on the other hand, he asked the rear army to push in several squatting tiger cannons and aim them at the Beizhen soldiers behind the gap.

Drive him into the courtyard.

Seeing the Crouching Tiger Cannon appearing, Ban Wei Zheng knew something was wrong and ordered his soldiers to prop up the shield wall and evacuate backwards.

However, the close-in shotgun of the Crouching Tiger Cannon is almost devastating at close range against a shield wall that has not been reinforced or raked.

Following a round of shotgun attacks, the Beizhen soldiers who were defending the gap were hit by projectiles, killing and injuring a large number of them. The remaining soldiers had to return to the courtyard, intending to use the corridors and houses to continue the defense.

Zhang Yanling pulled away the soldiers in front, came to the gap, and shouted inside: "Ban Wei Zheng, if Beizhen continues to fight like this, there is only a dead end! Even if you don't think about yourself, you must still think about your brothers.

! Surrender, I can guarantee the safety of everyone in Beizhen!"

When the squadron retreated, they were hit in the left arm by a shot from the Crouching Tiger Cannon. The wound was bleeding and was simply bandaged.

Hearing Zhang Yanling's persuasion to surrender, Ban Wei Zheng looked around. In the eyes of the Beizhen soldiers, there was determination and loyalty, and there was no trace of fear or begging for life.

Ban Weizheng said with a smile: "Life is short, but it lasts only a few decades. Today, Ban can be loyal to the country together with his brothers. It can be considered that he has no regrets."

The soldiers of Beizhen clenched their swords, and someone shouted: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have opened a road and have no intention of retreating. They just want to wrap their bodies in horse leather!"

Ban Weizheng shouted: "Well said! Help me up!"

Less than half of the surviving soldiers in Beizhen were thinking of death, and with Ban Wei Zheng as the first target, they raised their weapons and planned to make a last stand.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the house.

Then, the screams of soldiers came from the rebel rear.

Zhang Yanling was stunned for a moment, then looked back and asked, "What's going on?"

Before the surrounding rebels had time to reply, dozens of heavy cavalry, all covered in ringed iron armor, penetrated directly through the rebels' rear formation and knocked away countless enemy troops on the way.

Immediately afterwards, two teams of Zhanfeng battalions carrying the "Guo" flag, armed with Mo knives, rushed into the enemy's formation, killing the rebels until they were thrown off their backs and their limbs were flying everywhere.

Zhang Yanling, who was so stunned by this sudden scene that he didn't know what to do, stood motionless as if he had lost his soul.

A general on horseback, escorted by several cavalry, launched a charge towards Zhang Yanling.

When Zhang Yanling reacted, the cavalry commander had already rushed in front of him.

The saber was like a meteor, passing in front of Zhang Yanling's eyes.

The next second, the latter's head flew into the air, accompanied by a shower of blood, and finally rolled to the ground.

Ban Weizheng looked at the cavalry commander. When the latter dismounted and took off his helmet, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and exclaimed: "Wang Du Gong?!"

Wang Xu walked up to Ban Weizheng, smiled and wanted to pat the latter's shoulder. After seeing the wound on the other person's shoulder, he stopped his hand and said: "First find a doctor to treat the injury. As for the rest, I will slowly

Explain to you."

Daming Palace Inner City.

The main force of the rebel army led by Luo Anyuan was trapped in the inner city for nearly half an hour.

The rebels tried to attack Guangfan Gate to open the way to the emperor's palace, but the defenders on the tower not only had tiger cannons, muskets and thunder bombs, but also the number of soldiers kept increasing.

As for the dragoons outside Daming Palace, let alone them.

As long as the rebels dare to show their heads from the city gate, they will be greeted by a volley of muskets like a storm.

After experiencing several setbacks, Luo Anyuan and the rebel generals were almost desperate.

Neither the front nor the rear can work. Thousands of troops are trapped and dead here, unable to escape no matter what.

At this time, Luo Anyuan had no choice but to use rhetoric to try to boost morale: "There are still three units of our army still fighting in Chang'an City. They are Su Wei who attacked Taiji Palace, Yuan Du Gong who attacked Beizhen, and those who attacked Beizhen.

Luo Erlang at the north gate of the Daming Palace. As long as any of them completes their mission, they will come to join us. At that time, our army will have an advantage."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was movement outside the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace.

There was a fast horse in the dragon cavalry army. He rode his horse to the door and threw something into the palace gate.

Listening to the exclamation coming from the palace gate, Luo Anyuan said displeasedly: "Go and see, what exactly happened?"

One of the rebel generals went to explore the palace gate. When he came back, he felt as if he had seen a ghost. His face was as pale as dirt and he was shaking like chaff.

Luo Anyuan shouted several times before the general took something out from behind his back and placed it on the ground tremblingly.

By the light of the fire, Luo Anyuan looked intently. When he saw what he saw clearly, his whole body trembled, and he was so frightened that his soul almost rushed out of the Tianling Cap.

That object was the freshly chopped off head of a man.

And that person was none other than Luo Yingcai, the second son of the Luo family who was responsible for leading the attack on the Chongxuan Gate of the Daming Palace.

Looking at his brother's head, Luo Anyuan knelt down on the ground, picked it up, and cried loudly.

The generals around him were even more desperate when they saw this.

While Luo Anyuan had no time to care about anything else, several generals in the rebel army secretly left the military formation with their guards, intending to surrender to the defenders of Guangfan Gate.

Unexpectedly, the defenders at Guangfan Gate had no intention of surrendering. They aimed at these people and shot them with crossbows at the gate of the city.

Not long after this happened, another horseman came outside the palace gate and threw a human head into the gate.

There was a general among the rebels who recognized the owner of the head... Zhang Yanling, deputy governor of Jinyiweinan Town.

Soon, many more knights carrying heads came outside the palace gate.

Cui Pei, the commander-in-chief of the right Xiaowei, Duan Zongzhi, the general of the right Wuwei, Liao Li, the commander-in-chief of the left military guard...

There were nearly a hundred rebel generals responsible for attacking the Imperial City, Taiji Palace, Beizhen, and Beiyuan. No one escaped. Their heads were cut off one after another, and they were taken to the Daming Palace on fast horses and thrown to the main force of the rebels.

Looking at the pile of human heads that had been piled up like a hill in the courtyard of the Daming Palace, Luo Anyuan's psychological defense was completely shattered.

He took off his helmet and let his white hair fall down. He walked tremblingly to the tower of Guangfan Gate and knelt down on his knees.

Knocking his forehead heavily on the ground, Luo Anyuan ignored the blood spilling from his head and just kept kowtowing, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, this veteran has committed a rebellion and committed a heinous crime. I only ask for the Holy Judgment!"

More and more rebel generals dropped their weapons and knelt down in front of Guangfan Gate...

The first ray of sunshine on the horizon slowly emerged from the clouds, passed through the fog, and shone into the Daming Palace.

The Guangfan Gate slowly opened, and thousands of heavily armed Tang Army soldiers walked out of the gate, divided into several layers, and surrounded the rebels.

An old general walked slowly toward the rebel formation, escorted by the Tang army.

Luo Anyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to raise his head. Against the sunlight, he couldn't see the veteran's face clearly, but he tried his best to talk to him.

Unexpectedly, the latter ignored the rebel generals and came straight to the prince Zhou Xiao.

Zhou Xiao looked at the old general in front of him, his body trembled slightly unconsciously, and he called out in a low voice: "Captain Guo."

Guo Ziyi, who had white hair and beard, looked at the prince, sighed softly, and then said: "Your Highness, please come with me, the emperor wants to see you."
