Cheng Yaojin and General Luo were fighting fiercely, but in front of them, Li Zexuan's Wu Wei Army and the thirty thousand Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples were fighting a one-sided battle.
These thirty thousand people were just ordinary people. They had not received any formal training after joining the Heavenly Dragon Sect. When they met the well-equipped and well-trained elite soldiers, the thirty thousand people instantly showed signs of defeat.
Of course, their lack of combat strength was one of the reasons. However, the more important reason was that after listening to Du E expose the Heavenly Dragon Sect's deception and conspiracy, most of the people no longer had any thoughts of resisting. When the two sides clashed, countless people dropped their weapons and directly knelt on the ground to surrender.
The elites of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, who were supervising the battle among the commoners, saw that there were people who dared to surrender without a fight. They went forward to teach them a lesson and wanted to make an example out of them. However, their actions aroused public anger. After all, there were only a few hundred of them. The 30,000 commoners turned around and attacked the elites of the Heavenly Dragon Sect.
Not long after, the Heavenly Dragon Sect elites who were supervising the battle were all beaten to the ground. Some were dead, some were seriously injured, and there was not even a light injury.
"Those who abandon the dark and join the light will be punished lightly. Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"
The Heavenly Dragon Sect elites' shouts could be heard everywhere on the battlefield. Under the deterrence of absolute force, the thirty thousand disheartened Heavenly Dragon Sect members dropped their weapons one by one and knelt on the ground to surrender.
Soon, a large number of people on the battlefield were kneeling.
Not far away, General Luo, who was fighting with Cheng Yaojin, could not help but feel anxious when he saw this scene. However, it was useless to be anxious. Although Cheng Yaojin's martial realm was on par with his, in terms of battle experience, Cheng Yaojin was undoubtedly far ahead of him. At this time, there was no way for him to quickly end the battle, let alone leave!
Therefore, he could only watch as Li Zexuan 'absorbed' the thirty thousand Heavenly Dragon Sect members.
"Your Majesty, please slow down!"
Outside Chang 'an City, the three sides were fighting fiercely. Inside Chang' an City, there was a group of people who happened to be near the city walls. The leader was Li Er! Behind him were all the civil and military officials of the Imperial Court!
Earlier, when the Heavenly Dragon Sect had surrounded Chang 'an City, the civil and military officials of Chang' an City had all gone to the imperial palace to request Li Er, who was ill, to immediately convene the morning court.
Naturally, the officials did not know that Li Er was deliberately pretending to be ill this time to make the old officials in Chang 'an City lower their guard and have time to secretly communicate with the rebel army outside Chang' an City. After hearing the request of the officials to immediately convene the morning court, Li Er did not decline. After all, Chang 'an City was surrounded by the rebel army... if he hid in the harem, it would not be justifiable....
.............. After pretending to ask the officials about the current situation in Chang 'an City, he directly led the officials led the officials directly led the officials officials officials, he directly leading leading leading leading the officials directly, officials, he led the officials officials directly to the south gate. city's..
Under the guidance of a eunuch and a city gate officer, Li Er and the officials of the imperial court ascended the city tower one by one. What they saw was the scene of 30,000 Heavenly Dragon Sect members kneeling and surrendering. Fang Xuanling could not help but exclaim, "What's going on? I heard that the rebel army had aggressively surrounded Chang 'an City, but … but why are all the people of the Heavenly Dragon Sect surrendering now? "
It was not that Fang Xuanling was making a fuss over nothing. The main thing was that when the Heavenly Dragon Sect troops arrived at Chang 'an City, the people of Chang' an City suddenly fell into extreme panic. Many people described the soldiers of the Heavenly Dragon Sect as three heads and six arms, ferocious monsters. Moreover, the people of Chang 'an City worshipped the 50,000 rebels as two to three hundred thousand. It was as if Chang' an City could be breached by the rebel army at any time.
Fang Xuanling and the other core officials of the empire could not wait to bring the officials to the imperial palace for an audience after hearing the rumors in the city.
However, when the group of people arrived at the city wall from afar, they discovered that the situation was completely different from what the commoners had described. Other than Cheng Yaojin's battlefield being a little "anxious", Li Zexuan's side was completely one-sided!
How did this look like Chang 'an City was about to be breached? Instead, it looked more like the Heavenly Dragon Sect was ambushed by the imperial court.
Li Er sneered, "The existence of the Heavenly Dragon Sect was originally a scam. Now that the scam has been exposed, the deceived people are naturally unwilling to serve the Heavenly Dragon Sect. The ones who are still stubbornly resisting are the troops that the Heavenly Dragon Sect has cultivated over the years. They are called the Heavenly Dragon Army and followed the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect from Qingzhou. "
"Your Majesty, please look, there are two more troops on the east side."
The officials were naturally shocked by Li Er's ability to predict the future, but that did not include Li Jing. He was one of the few people who knew about the entire incident. At this moment, he saw two armies chasing and fighting on the eastern side of the fork, so he could not help but remind them.
Li Er's gaze focused and shifted to the east side of Chang 'an City.
At this time, the general who led Li Er to the city wall explained, "Your Majesty, after the Marquis of Yong 'an used the Heavenly Dragon Sect's Venerable Du E to expose all of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's schemes, the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect knew that there was no hope of attacking the city. When he saw Marquis open the city to fight, he directly led two thousand people to the east, leaving the rest of the Heavenly Dragon Sect's members and troops to cover the rear. When General Yuchi saw this, he directly led a thousand light cavalry to chase after them. "
"I see!"
Li Er nodded and ordered, "Duan Zhixuan, I order you to immediately lead a thousand Black Armored Troops out of the city to support Yuchi Jingde. Remember, you must capture the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect alive. I want to see who he is! "
Duan Zhixuan cupped his fists and accepted the order, "This general obeys!"
With that, he hurriedly turned and ran down the city tower.
A moment later, a heavily armored army rushed out of Chang 'an City and headed east.
Wei Zheng's face was gloomy. In truth, he had already guessed the identity of the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. It was because of this that he was so depressed these days.
"Bring me the binoculars!"
Li Er ordered at this time.
"Yes ~!"
Not long after, a eunuch handed over a pair of binoculars. Li Er reached out and received it. He then placed it in front of his eyes and looked at Cheng Yaojin and another young general who were fighting outside the city. After watching for a while, Li Er put down the binoculars and said with a strange expression, "That young general from the Heavenly Dragon Sect has very good martial arts. He can actually fight Cheng Zhijie to a standstill. This kind of person is definitely not a nobody. Auxiliary Machine, come take a look! "
Li Er was not worried about the battle outside the city at all. Under normal circumstances, as long as there was no internal strife in Chang 'an City, it would be wishful thinking for the enemy to attack the city from the outside. The current Tang Dynasty was not the Tang Dynasty of the Nine Years of Wude. Not anyone had the qualifications to besiege the city and make Li Er sign the 'Wei River Alliance'.
After all the hidden dangers in Chang 'an City were discovered and eliminated, this was a battle where the disparity in strength was great. Compared to the outcome, Li Er was more concerned about the identity of the head of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and its core members.
"This old subject obeys the decree!"
Zhangsun Wuji's heart moved. He took the binoculars and looked at the battlefield in the south. With one look, he was shocked, "How is this possible? How can it be him? "
