    Huang Mingyuan is also a decisive person. He knows that at this time, he is shouldering this responsibility on behalf of King Jin. Others can shirk him, but they cannot shirk it.  He took the "Emperor's Seal" and said: "The saint has great trust, and he will protect the saint even if he is far away."

    As he said that, Huang Mingyuan walked towards the crowd with a horizontal knife.

    Everyone¡¯s first choice was Xuanwu Gate, so Huang Mingyuan arranged for people to go to Suzhangmen and Xishanghemen to the west of Zhonghua Gate to investigate and see if there was a way to bypass Zhonghua Gate.

    Of course, if this strategy is not feasible, the only choice is to stick to Daxing Hall.  If you really want to hold on to Daxing Hall, in addition to guarding the main hall of Daxing Hall, you must also guard the three gates of left Yanming Gate, right Yanming Gate and Daxing Gate.  However, there were only a hundred guards around Yang Jian. If they were divided on four sides, his strength would be stretched thin.  But the three gates are interlocked. If one gate is missing, the wall will be broken.  But Huang Mingyuan did not dare to give up the three gates to guard Daxing Hall alone, otherwise Yang Jian would never be able to escape if the opponent got angry.

    Huang Mingyuan arranged for General Yang An to guard Daxing Hall and protect Yang Jian.  Zuo Xunwei Lang sent Wang Wei and Zhizhai Pang Changshou to guard Yanming Gate on the left and right, while he led more than 20 people to Daxing Gate.

    As the core gate of the entire palace city, Daxing Gate is extremely steep and under high control, making it extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

    Huang Mingyuan arranged for several people to carry all the heavy objects in the Daxing Palace to the Daxing Gate and blocked the palace gate. He led several people to the city wall of the Daxing Gate.

    Huang Mingyuan looked eastward, and saw a fire and constant shouts of killing.  The east wall was crowded with people and shadowy figures, and it looked like the two sides were fighting fiercely on the wall.

    Huang Mingyuan's heart tightened. Jianchun Gate leads directly to the East Palace. In the past, Yang Jian paid the most attention to the defense of Jianchun Gate in order to guard against Yang Yong. There were hundreds of soldiers guarding there.  In addition, Jianchunmen City was three feet high and indestructible. Yang Jian was also reassured. There was no reason that it would be breached so soon.

    Suddenly Huang Mingyuan heard the sound of horse hoofs neighing again, and then the vibration of the horse hoofs became louder and louder from far to near, causing the entire city wall to shake.

    The rebels actually have horses.

    Today¡¯s changes one after another overwhelmed Huang Mingyuan, and the fact that the rebels had a group of organized cavalry made Huang Mingyuan¡¯s heart sink to the bottom.

    This Daxing city was built horizontally and vertically. Although the entire inner garden of the palace has many palace gates, it still extends in all directions.  The road is wide, which is suitable for cavalry to gallop and fight.  Now the opponent has seized several city gates and is crisscrossing along the city wall. If the opponent continues to use cavalry to advance aggressively, it won't be long before the Daxing Palace is captured by the rebels.

    Seeing the cavalry galloping in the distance, they will soon reach the gate of Daxing.  Huang Mingyuan raised his long bow, stretched it like a full moon, and shot into the darkness in the distance.  The arrow was like a ray of light that cut through the darkness, and it accurately found a cavalryman riding a horse.

    Although it was impossible to see whether the shot was successful from the top of the city, there was a muffled groan in the distance and the sound of a horse falling was heard.

    In fact, the guards in Daxing Palace are not equipped with crossbows on a daily basis, especially this kind of long-range weapon seems to be more threatening to the emperor's safety.  Therefore, except in emergencies, the bows and crossbows in the palace are stored out of the reach of the guards.

    There is a small arsenal belonging to the emperor in Daxing Hall.  It was also set up because Yang Jian was a military commander in his early years and often played with swords in his spare time.

    In order to defend against the enemy this time, Yang Jian took out all the weapons at once, regardless of the fact that many of the weapons inside were treasures he had collected for many years.  There are many good bows and swords, but there are not enough long weapons, and bows and arrows are even more scarce.

    Huang Mingyuan has arranged for some internal servants to go to the Youzang warehouse in Xingrenmen West, but whether they can bring back some equipment depends on luck, but Huang Mingyuan cannot place his hopes on these.

    Seeing that there were insufficient weapons and equipment, Huang Mingyuan ordered the towers on Daxing Gate to be demolished, and the beams could also be used as rolling logs and stones.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s arrow hit someone unknown, but it was so sharp that it weakened the rebels¡¯ offensive.  Seeing Huang Mingyuan shoot out an arrow, several other people also picked up the dismantled beams, bricks and wood and threw them at the rebel cavalry below the city.

    Although Huang Mingyuan and others were few, the rebels below were also caught off guard.  All the way down tonight, they were looking at everyone who was unable to stop them, which actually made them forget to defend themselves in time.

    Seeing the towering Daxing Gate, although the cavalry below yelled at the city, they were so anxious that there was nothing they could do to Huang Mingyuan.

    Finally, a large number of troops led by Long Feng arrived at Daxing Gate and began a large-scale attack on Daxing Gate.  The entire city wall of Daxingmen is hundreds of meters long from east to west. No matter how dangerous it is, Huang Mingyuan's 10 or 20 men alone cannot defend it.Seeing that the people on the top of the city were resisting very hard, Long Feng repeated his old tricks and prepared to fight with the larger numbers and the smaller numbers.  He ordered hundreds of people carrying ladders to line up under the city wall, and the crossbowmen below kept firing towards the top of the city, so heavy that Huang Mingyuan and others could not even lift their heads.

    Huang Mingyuan had to order more than 20 guards to guard a section of the city wall each, while he carried a horizontal sword back and forth to supplement the defense.

    The individual bravery of these guards is indeed extraordinary, but the rebels are well-trained troops.  When someone climbed onto the city wall, three or five people formed a fighting group and advanced alternately forward and backward.

    Soon there were casualties among the guards on the top of the city. They were either hit by thrown bows and arrows, or they were swarmed by the rebels. They could not move left and right and were hacked to death with random knives.

    The rebels were gathering more and more on the city tower, and some were going down the stairs on one side of the city wall to open the city gate.  The situation is getting more and more dangerous, and it seems that Daxingmen will fall in less than half a cup of tea.

    Huang Mingyuan no longer cares about the defense of the city. If the opponent's cavalry rushes into Daxing Gate, everyone will not be able to escape.

    Huang Mingyuan also became fierce. He put his bow on his back, held a sword in one hand and a small buckler in the other, and rushed towards the crowd.  Seeing that he was covered in blood and giving orders, the other party hurriedly stepped forward to capture him.

    Seeing the opponent rushing forward, Huang Mingyuan raised his left round shield and hit it against the opponent's weapon. This heavy blow was enough to knock off the soldier.  But Huang Mingyuan didn't stop, and the horizontal knife in his right hand followed his footsteps and cut across.  The slash was very fast, and after two or three seconds of flying, the wounds of the people around him opened, and their stomachs full of organs flowed to the ground for free.

    Huang Mingyuan didn't care, he just blocked and slashed, knocking down five or six people in a row.  The rebels were frightened and did not dare to move forward. Huang Mingyuan fought all the way to the stairs.

    There were more and more rebels on the city, and the guards who could not hold on gathered towards Huang Ming in the distance.

    Huang Mingyuan saw that the city gate tower could no longer be defended. It would be futile to stay on the city wall any longer, and he would only end up being surrounded and annihilated.  Therefore, Huang Mingyuan asked the guards to go downstairs immediately and block the city gate, while he stayed at the stairs to block everyone's back.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
