Nearly 20,000 Merit Points proved that the surprise attack was coming to an end.
A small portion of the 20,000 Tibetans managed to escape, but most of them were killed.
Ever since they took down Beacon Tower, Li Rui had led his troops to kill more than 40,000 enemies. His battle achievements were outstanding!
"Everyone, retreat!" Li Rui ordered urgently.”
There was no time to clean up the battlefield. Tang Jiahui had 100,000 Tibetan troops and was less than 30 miles away from Beacon Fort.
If the Tibetans surrounded them after learning about the situation here, they would really die.
Li Rui's white clothes were dyed with snow, and his white cloak had turned blood red. The five thousand elite soldiers of the Northern Liang Army were all covered in blood, and they rushed out with murderous intent.
When he passed by Tang Jiahui, he could see a dense bonfire.
Tang Jiahui was on the city wall, shooting seven flaming arrows to ask for help.
Li Rui sneered." They deserve it. Don't worry about them. Let's go back to Chang 'an!"”
My lord, you must not return to Chang 'an." Cao Cao tried his best to stop him.
In Sima Yi's eyes, returning to Chang 'an was walking right into a trap.
Li Longji would never let Li Rui off!
In addition to Lin Jiulang's slanderous words, it would be dangerous to go back.
Li Rui sneered." I have to go back. Father has to give me the commander's seal of the hundred thousand cavalry!"”
With the commander's seal, Li Rui would be able to command 100,000 cavalry and become the rightful Prince of Liang of the Great Tang.
Although there was a system that allowed him to draw a divine-level tiger rider card.
However, expanding the Beiliang army privately was treason!
I, Li Rui, will never be a traitor of the Great Tang!
If he wanted to be, he would be the Emperor of the Great Tang!
If Li Rui refused to return to Chang 'an and strengthened the Beiliang Army outside, he would be besieged by the eight military governors of the Tang Empire.
Li Rui did not put Tang Jiahui in his eyes at all.
Li Rui didn't want to accept a Great Tang that had been destroyed!
Once the battle started, the various provincial governors would have great power and would have disloyalty.
In history, An Lushan's Rebellion had caused the Great Tang to be unable to recover. The Tibetans had seized the opportunity to invade the Great Tang's millions of square meters of land, while the Abbasid Caliphate and the Turks had seized the opportunity to attack the Great Tang!
Li Rui would not do that. He would return to Chang 'an.
Five thousand elite soldiers of the Northern Liang galloped on their horses, not stopping for even a day.
Three days later, the sun was setting.
In front of Chang 'an City, the middle-aged colonel guarding the gate commanded a hundred men and said in fear,""Who are you? You dare to lead your troops to Chang 'an without being summoned.”
"Open the door, it's me!" Li Rui raised his head.
"Your Highness, why are you…" the middle-aged colonel said in shock.
Li Rui, who was wearing silver armor and blood-red clothes, frightened the city guards. What had he experienced?
Why was there so much blood?
Behind Li Rui, there were five thousand elite soldiers of the Northern Liang. They were filled with killing intent as they followed behind Li Rui in an orderly manner. It was as if they would dare to attack the city as long as they gave the order!
Li Rui was furious. He led five thousand soldiers of the Northern Liang Army to defend Beacon Fort for fifteen days.
Not a single reinforcement was seen!
Li Longji had to give Li Rui an explanation for this!
Otherwise, Li Rui would wash Chang 'an City with blood today!
Li Rui held his halberd and nailed it to the ground, more than seven inches into the ground. He shouted angrily,"Open the door!"
A shout scared the middle-aged colonel so much that he retreated in fear. The expressions of the surrounding soldiers also changed.
Huo Qubing raised his left hand.
The five thousand elites raised their left hands in unison and raised their Black-Gold Battle Crossbows at a 45-degree angle, as if they would storm the city gate in the next second.
Sima Yi advised in a low voice,"My Lord, don't be rash!”
"Prince Liang has returned triumphantly, and I should congratulate you. However, I have not received the Emperor's order. Prince Liang can enter the city, but others cannot!”The middle-aged colonel braced himself.
Then, the city gate opened. Li Rui pulled out his halberd and pulled the rope from behind. The fierce horse neighed at the sky, its hind hooves standing on the ground and its front hooves kicking fiercely.
Bang!
The half-opened city gate opened with a bang, and the soldiers behind were sent flying.
Li Rui kicked the city gate with his horse. The horse neighed and entered the city.
Huo Qubing was beside him, riding his horse. Zhao Yun waved her whip and followed. Dian Wei never left Li Rui's side.
Sima Yi shouted to himself," Everyone, station outside the city. Use the Black Gold Arrow as the signal. If there's any unusual movement, break through the city and save the enemy!"”
"Yes, sir!"
The elite soldiers of the Northern Liang shouted together, their killing intent mixed together and deterred the soldiers stationed on the city wall.
Li Rui spurred his horse and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
Right Xiao Wei of the outer city was stunned when he saw it from afar.
Li Rui held his halberd and shouted coldly," I am the Liang King of the Tang Empire. Who dares to stop me? Who can stop me!"
You Xiaowei took a closer look. F * ck, the little devil is back!
Li Rui's name as the Little Demon King had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang 'an City ever since he had beaten Lin Jiulang with a stick and chopped off his seven sons with a knife.
Li Rui was filled with killing intent and held a halberd in his hand. Not many of the Right Dawn Guards dared to stop him.
Everyone knew that if they tried to stop Li Rui, they would die for nothing.
Huo Qubing and the others followed behind.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the inner city. This was the territory of the Dragon Martial Army and the Royal Guards. They were all the personal guards of the Sage.
Li Rui was wearing armor and riding a horse with weapons in his hands. It was a taboo in the palace.
For example, the former Crown Prince Li Ying was turned into a commoner and almost beheaded because he entered the palace wearing armor.
A team of eighteen golden-armored palace guards shouted,""Prince Liang, the Sage is currently discussing court politics with his ministers. Quickly dismount and stop!”
"Those who stop me will die!" Li Rui shouted coldly.”
Whoosh!
Huo Qubing raised his left arm slightly, and the black-gold arrow pierced through the head of the Golden Guard, piercing through his body and nailing him to the marble floor.
This scene shocked the Royal Forest Guards and the Golden Guards.
Was the Prince of Liang planning to rebel?
