Chapter 37 Single-handedly saving the princess
"Next."
Qin Lang threw the two heads in his hand, Liu Jiu and Lin San each caught one.
"What thing?" Lin San looked at the **** thing, "Whose?"
Liu Jiu grabbed a lock of hair and carefully looked at the head in his hand, "Hey, you might be shocked if you say it, the head in my hand belongs to the current crown prince, the one in yours... Well, it really belongs to Qi Wang Li Yuanji."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Yong, Wei Chang, Zhang Cheng, etc. who were nearby were all startled. They curiously and a little bit afraid to look at it, but they didn't dare to approach.
Liu Jiu shook Jian Jian's head, "What are you afraid of, can he come back to life and bite you again? The prince who was high above you yesterday is just a beheaded ghost now."
Qin Yong confirmed that it was indeed the head built by the prince, and couldn't help sighing, "Sanlang, why did you bring this here?"
"These two heads can reach thousands of troops, let's go!"
Qin Lang rushed to Hongyi Palace with his men and horses, and when he passed Yong'an Gate, he found that the gate had been lost, and the soldiers of Prince Qin's Mansion had already retreated to Hongyi Gate.
Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche led the Donggong and Qifu soldiers to attack everywhere. Du Ruhui stood on the palace gate with a bow and arrow in a bit of a panic and commanded the defense, but there were too few soldiers left behind, outnumbered.
Princess Qin’s eldest grandson also put on armor in person, and led the servants and maids of the palace to the city to help defend with a crossbow.
Hengshan County King Li Chengqian also held a dagger in his hand, sitting on the steps of the archery tower, staring at his mother, Changsun.
Du Ruhui came over, clutching his injured arm, and said to the concubine who was wearing a narrow-sleeved short shirt, a war robe with fish scales and thin armor, and a red short scarf on her head, "The thief is against the trend. Here, arrows and stones are flying everywhere, and knives and guns have no eyes. Please!" The princess takes the prince back to the palace."
Changsun held the crossbow and pulled the trigger at the Donggong soldiers who were being driven up to the top of the city, shot them down, and then replied while winding up the crossbow, "Look over there, Duke Du!"
Du Ruhui looked over there, and saw that the concubine Yang, Yin and other female relatives of King Qin were helping to carry the wounded soldiers and bandage them for first aid, while Li Ke, the third son of King Qin, was carrying a bundle of arrows to the city to send them.
"Mr. Du, today my husband rushed forward, and we women and children also worked together to guard the house. You see, although Ke'er is small, he is also very brave."
Chengqian stood up holding a short knife, "Mother, my child also wants to help the battle on the city wall. Give me a bow and crossbow. I am very good at archery."
The Changsun family loaded the crossbow, aimed at a Donggong soldier and shot it out, and shot him down, saving a critical Qin Palace sergeant. She pulled out another crossbow and fired it again, "Chengqian, you are the eldest son. The other younger brothers are different, as long as you stay here, let the soldiers in our mansion, maidservants and your brothers and sisters look up and see you, that will be the greatest help to your mother and your father."
"Why? I also want to kill the enemy. Here I feel that I am so useless, not as good as the third brother and the others."
"It's not the same. The three armies can't take the commander. You are the commander of the three armies now, and you can boost morale better here." The eldest grandson comforted Chengqian.
Du Ruhui was helpless when he saw that he was not persuaded to do anything.
"Dugong, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Although I am not as heroic as Princess Pingyang Zhao, my father is also a great general who killed two birds with one stone. My archery skills are still good. If it is dangerous, the brothers who are fighting in front It's even more dangerous, Duke Du please concentrate on commanding and defending against the enemy, and leave us alone."
"If the enemy does not retreat, Chengqian and I will not go downstairs!"
Du Ruhui sighed, "I don't know what's going on in Miyagi at the moment, but I hope that the overall situation has been settled, and King Qin can come back to help sooner."
The eldest grandson stood there, looking at the north with confidence, "I believe Erlang will be able to succeed."
The offensive became more and more urgent, and more and more soldiers climbed to the top of the city.
In front of Yongan Gate.
Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche are both leading their troops to attack Hongyimen, and there are only a hundred people left behind. It took Qin Lang and Qin Yong and others only a quarter of an hour to arrive.
Qin Lang didn't stop, and shouted on the horse, "Kill it!"
Qin used his horse to take the lead and galloped out. He abandoned the horse lance, but held an eight-edged copper hammer in each hand, swung it left and right, and swept away the arrows that came.
"Take your life!"
He lived up to the name of Mr. Sledgehammer, he opened and closed the two heavy hammers left and right, he swung away the spears that were stabbing towards him, and then he swung the hammers at the speed of his horse, and immediately several soldiers from the Qi government were hammered to their brains Burst and die.
Liu Jiu, holding a golden-backed broadsword, followed closely behind on his horse, and Lin San followed closely with a mace.
When Qin Lang rushed to the door on his leopard head, the three of them had already smashed the hundreds of guards to pieces. Behind them, Wei Chang, Zhang Cheng, Ah Huang and others rushed forward, and the hundreds of soldiers from the Qi government immediately collapsed and scattered. escape.
"Zhang Cheng, you take some brothers to guard this door, and the rest follow me to continue rushing!"
Qin Lang and his party charged forward all the way, with great momentum.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Hongyi Gate, and Hongyi Palace was right in front of him.
"Damn, the rebel army is about to attack." Liu Jiu shouted.
Qin Lang also found out that it was dangerous, but fortunately he came in time.
As soon as he kicked the horse's belly, the leopard let out a long hiss, jumped up, and came to the front of the battlefield in a few strokes.
Qin Yong, Ah Huang, Liu Jiu, Lin San, Wei Chang and others followed closely behind.
The sudden arrival of this new army surprised Xie Shufang and Xue Wanche who were directing the onslaught.
"Damn, it's these people again!" Xie Shufang said angrily.
"Son of Qin Qiong, these guys came here just now and prevented us from taking advantage of the victory to take the Xuanwu Gate, and now they are here again, what a **** **** stick!"
"Qin Qiong's son? It's not Qin Qiong who came. If his father Qin Qiong came, I would have to be afraid, wait for me to kill this brat!" Xue Wanche came over applauding.
"You are Qin Qiong's son? What's your name?" Xue Wanche rode his horse up to him and asked loudly.
"My servant, Qin Lang, who are you?" Qin Lang looked at the person coming.
"A certain is the Duke of Wu'an County, Xue Wanche, the son of the former General Zuo Yuwei."
When Qin Lang heard the name, he turned out to be Xue Wanche. Xue Wanche had a reputation for bravery, and his father, Xue Shixiong, was a fierce general of the Sui Dynasty and the old boss of Li Yi, King of Yanjun. After Xue Shixiong's death, the four brothers Xue Wanche, known as the Four Tigers of the Xue family, joined Luo Yi and returned to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi. Lord.
Xue Wanche's brother, Xue Wanjun, works in the Qin Palace, and Xue Wanche is a princeling.
"So you are the Xue Wanche who was captured alive by Liu Heita and had his head shaved. I have admired you for a long time!" Qin Lang said loudly, intentionally letting many people hear.
When Xue Wanche returned to the Tang Dynasty with Luo Yi, he cooperated with the Tang army to conquer Liu Heita in Hebei. As a result, the Tang army was defeated. The Xue family brothers were even besieged and captured, and their hair was shaved in the end. He shaved his hair and tied his hands and feet, but he suddenly fought back halfway, killed a dozen guards around him, snatched weapons and horses, and fled all the way back to Tangying on the opposite side.
But this incident is indeed a scandal that the Xue family brothers are ashamed of.
"Huangkou kid, court death!" Xue Wanche was furious.
Qin Lang laughed loudly, "General Xue, let's see what this is first?"
The heads of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were thrown over.
"Look clearly, Crown Prince Jiancheng and Qi Wang Yuanji conspired to assassinate His Majesty in order to usurp the throne, and now they have been executed. This is their head."
Xue Wanche stared at the two heads rolling closer, startled for a moment.
He jumped off the horse, carefully picked up the two heads, and looked at them carefully, but they were Jian Jiancheng and Yuanji's heads, and he couldn't help crying.
Qin Lang continued to shout, "Your Majesty has issued an order, all the generals and soldiers who followed the two in the past, as long as they lay down their weapons, they will forget the past. If they are obsessed with obsession, they will kill the three clans!"
Prince and King Qi are dead.
This news is too amazing.
The appearance of Xue Wanche holding the two heads and crying bitterly convinced the Donggong and Qifu soldiers to believe this fact.
The people on the battlefield who were attacking fiercely just now stopped suddenly.
The news spread quickly throughout the battlefield like the wind.
Xie Shufang hurried over on horseback. When he saw the two heads held in Xue Wanche's arms, he couldn't help but rolled off the horse, knelt down and cried bitterly in front of them.
At Hongyi's gate, thunderous cheers sounded.
Du Ruhui ran excitedly to announce the good news to the eldest grandson Wufei.
"Dugong, what happened?"
"Princess, we won."
"we won."
"Qin Qiong's son led his troops to help. He also brought Jian Jiancheng and Yuanji's heads. We won."
······
Princess Qin stood there in a daze, muttering, "I won."
Hengshan King Li Chengqian looked at Du Ruhui, "What's the name of Qin Qiong's son? Is he very powerful? Did he kill uncle and fourth uncle?"
"His name is Qin Lang, he is the third son of Qin Qiong, and he is currently the county lieutenant of Chang'an. He is very brave. As soon as he came, Xue Wanche and Xie Shufang's rebellious army had already collapsed."
Chengqian looked into the distance, "He is too powerful, how can he be the county captain of Chang'an, my father should make him a great general."
Qin Wangfei came back to her senses and smiled slightly, "Your father will never forget the soldiers who have made meritorious service today. Cheng Qian, you should also remember these loyal soldiers who fought for your father and our family today. us."
"Mr. Du, can you go to visit the soldiers who came to help me, and invite Qin Sanlang to come here for me. Chengqian and I will thank him face to face."
When Du Ruhui came to the palace, it was still in chaos.
The crown prince and the king of Qi were dead. This news broke the fighting spirit of the Donggong soldiers and the Qi soldiers.
Qin Lang didn't pursue them, and now he has no time to control these people.
He was busy receiving surrenders and collecting weapons.
On the one hand, they sent people to strengthen the defense of Hongyi Palace.
Du Ruhui was followed by several large carts, which were filled with copper money and silk from the Prince Qin's mansion, "This is a gift from Princess Qin and the son Chengqian, everyone has worked hard."
"We came a step late, and let the rebellious army disturb the princess and the prince."
"Sanlang, Wangfei and Shizi invite you to meet and say thank you in person."
