It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 416

A black torrent poured in from the city gate, and toads were embroidered behind them. This ugly creature has now become a symbol of terror in the hearts of the imperial army. The imperial army rushed over from both sides, trying to block the enemy back out of the city. The two torrents collided fiercely, splashing red blood.

Li Letian took the lead and appeared at the front of the team. He clenched his sword, raised it high, and swung it down again.

"Kill, kill with me!"

"Your Highness's safety is the most important thing, we will cover His Highness's retreat." The personal guard responsible for protecting Li Letian said.

Li Letian chopped off the head of an insurgent with his sword, and blood splattered on his face.

"Kill, whoever dares to retreat again, share the same fate with this person!"

The soldiers set off a wave of small peaks, and Li Letian's bravery stimulated everyone. They clenched their weapons and fought, and then ushered in even greater sacrifices.

Inside and outside the city gate, there were murderous intentions. The corpse was pressed against the corpse, and the stumps were stacked on top of the stumps. Li Letian was also in the center of the fight.

Left slash, right slash, middle stab...

He holds the sword in both hands, the most basic sword move. It is difficult to say whether the battle at the moment depends on the brain or pure muscle memory.

Fighting is never a fun thing, pierce the heart of the enemy with the greatest strength, kill the life that is the same as yourself, but you are also waiting to be killed by the enemy at any time.

A flowing arrow was shot on Li Letian's shoulder, and he knelt down in pain, then stood up proudly, and stabbed his sword into an enemy's lower abdomen.

In this situation, it is impossible to tell where the current vector came from, the Justice Religion or the Imperial Army. The bleeding continued, and Li Letian was already a little dizzy due to exhaustion and blood loss.

"Your Highness, retreat." said the captain of the personal soldiers.

"No retreat, kill me!" Li Letian roared with all his strength, but he was getting weaker and weaker.

The captain of the personal soldiers gritted his teeth fiercely, carried Li Letian on his back, slashed the enemies around him with his sword, and fled west of the city.

"I can't go back, I can't go back..." Li Letian was dying, wanting to use his last strength to make the last effort to stop the defeat.

The captain of the personal soldiers escorted Li Letian away, which was the best choice for Li Letian, but not necessarily for the battle.

For the courage of the soldiers, Li Letian's rout took away the last morale of the imperial army, and also took away the only possibility of victory. A team that loses morale is no different from pigs and dogs to be slaughtered.

Of course, it can't be said that there is no difference at all, at least pigs and dogs are more difficult to deal with.

Li Letian understood this, and he even prepared to live and die with Chang'an City and die on the battlefield. However, he was finally able to do nothing, and led all the way westward under the leadership of his personal soldiers.

At this moment, not only Li Letian fled, but the businessmen, civilians, and high-ranking officials in the city... rushed out of the city like grasshoppers on fire.

Simon was even more crowded, with men cursing, children crying, and women sobbing. Most of these people are big figures in Chang'an City and even the entire empire, and they are all decent people.

But today, the decency of these people has fallen clean.

"Prince!"

A veteran was waiting at the city gate and seemed to have been waiting for Li Letian. Li Letian used his last strength to push away the personal soldier captain and staggered closer.

This veteran is the imperial general Yu Chili, and many of the disciples he supports are masters. If he gathers troops and fights back to the east gate at this time, the outcome of this battle is still uncertain.

"General Yuchi..."

Yuchi Li coughed heavily. He was old, not the fierce tiger fighting on the battlefield.

"Your Highness, run for your life, the old minister will escort His Highness away!"

Li Letian was stunned, and something was broken in his heart. Then, he remembered something more. Yuchi left the position of high power, and more than half of the famous generals in the empire were trained by him. But in this campaign, his performance was not stupid, but only mediocre.

In a trance, he was also waiting for the thieves to break the city.

This man, who has always been regarded by his father as the pillar of the empire, is really loyal to the empire.

Loyal or not, cheating or not, this is today's empire. Li Letian remembered what Emperor Ming once said to himself: A foster man is like raising an eagle.

It seems that he can't blame him for anything at the moment, he is weak, and it seems that only Emperor Ming is to blame. Even if he wanted to blame something, Li Letian really didn't have the strength.

On the day that Chang'an City was broken, Li Letian was wounded by an arrow. Under the cover of Yu Chili, he took the defeated army out of Chang'an City from the Ximen.

The city of Chang'an was broken, and the last fig leaf of the empire was torn off. But at this time, it is too early to say that the Righteous Church has won this battle.

The imperial army was not short of deserters, but also not short of warriors. These people led the remaining soldiers and horses to fight in the streets with the bandits of the Justice Religion in Chang'an City, and the killing was still very tragic.

At this time, Lin Shaoyu, with his elite men, rushed directly to the Imperial Palace.

Here, he encountered one of the most elite teams in the empire, the Yulongwei.

The Imperial Army is the soldiers of the Empire, but not necessarily the soldiers of the Li family. Most of them are in the hands of the various princes, but the Yulongwei is personally trained and drawn by Emperor Ming, and it is really a team in the hands of Emperor Ming.

The battle was very difficult. According to the palace's insistence, the bandit soldiers who refused justice were outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an has been broken. This old slave should escort His Majesty away." Liu Aji knelt in front of Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming sat on the golden hall, and there were no traces of civil and military officials, only a castrated eunuch in front of him. In front of him, there was an iron gun, Emperor Ming looked confused, as if thinking about something, and turned a deaf ear to Liu Aji's words.

"Your Majesty..." Liu Aji called again.

Emperor Ming suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head and said, "What, what did you just say?"

"The thieves have broken through Chang'an City and are fighting fiercely with Yulongwei. For the sake of His Majesty's dragon body, let the old slave escort His Majesty away."

"Leave and run away again?" Emperor Ming's voice was a little dazed.

Liu Aji didn't dare to answer, how could he say fleeing, how could he say fleeing if he was touring east, hunting west, traveling north, and hunting south.

Emperor Ming shook his head, his eyes changed from turbid to clear, and he stood up, wearing a long robe.

"I ran away again and again, and I don't want to run away again."

"Your Majesty." Liu Aji's voice was hoarse.

"Aji, how will people in the future evaluate us?" Emperor Ming asked.

"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and what you have done should be remembered." Liu Aji's eyes were red.

"The Rong tribe is in trouble, the people are struggling to survive, the lords stand in many places, and the tyrants are fierce." Emperor Ming shook his head with a wry smile: "Our Li family is really bad at managing these things. I don't want to break through, I just hope that people in the future can do better than me. ."

"Your Majesty, it may not be impossible to make a comeback in the future, to teach bandits rampant, but it will not last long."

"No, it's not honorable for me to make this dragon chair all my life." Emperor Ming stood tall: "Now, I want to have a decent way to die."
