Seven Thousand White Robed Army
"Long live His Royal Highness!"
"Kill the traitors!"
"I swear to follow His Highness!"
.........
The Crown Prince's personal guards cheered loudly. All the soldiers were very excited, and they were all convinced by Li Chengdao's powerful martial strength!
Even Feng Li and Xue Wanche were shocked.
Not to mention killing Jing Junhong and Lu Shiheng with a single halberd, even if they wanted to kill one of them, they would have to fight.
Li Chengdao's martial strength was actually so terrifying!
With the death of Jing Junhong and Lü Shiheng, the Imperial Guards were instantly thrown into disarray. How could they dare to confront the two thousand Crown Prince's Imperial Guards behind Li Chengdao? Not to mention facing it head-on.
"I am the Prince of Anlu Prefecture, the son of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace!”
Li Chengdao held the halberd in his hand and rode on his horse. He looked at the guards on the wall of the Black Tortoise Sect.
"Li Shi Min killed his brother and plotted a rebellion.
Otherwise, they would all be punished for treason and their entire families would be killed!”
His voice was like thunder, exploding in the Black Tortoise Sect.
The Black Tortoise Gate guards only listened to Jing Junhong and Lü Shiheng's orders to let Li Shimin pass, allowing him to quietly lead his troops into the Imperial City.
Now that Jing Junhong and Lü Shiheng, the two Black Tortoise Sect generals, were dead, everyone was trembling in fear if they were to continue participating in the rebellion.
Especially after hearing Li Chengdao's words, all of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. They subconsciously threw away the weapons in their hands.
"Your Highness, everything was done by General Jing and General Lu. We were only following orders and had no intention of rebelling.”
On the city wall, a lieutenant said in a trembling voice.
The rest of the soldiers were also panicking.
Fighting with the crown prince's guards had already made them panic.
Now, they had learned from Li Chengdao that he had opened the city gates to let the black-armored soldiers into the palace and had helped the king of Qin, Li Shimin, to rebel. This made them even more frightened.
Li Chengdao's eyes widened and he shouted angrily,""Since you don't have the intention to rebel, quickly open the door!”
Losing Jing Junhong and Lü Shiheng, the Xuanwu Sect's defenders were without a leader.
Panicked and afraid, he didn't dare to stop Li Chengdao, the Prince of Anlu Prefecture, and immediately opened the city gate.
The two thousand Crown Prince's guards immediately filed out.
......
After escaping from the Imperial City, Li Chengdao's life and death crisis finally came to an end.
Although Li Shiming had complete control of the Imperial Palace, it was impossible for him to quickly take control of Chang 'an City under the eyes of Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng.
"Your Highness, now that the Crown Prince has been killed by that traitor Li Shi Min, Li Shi Min will definitely eliminate the root of the problem.
The Commandery Prince had better escape from Chang 'an as soon as possible. As long as there was life, there was hope. He would find an opportunity to come back in the future.”
Feng Li said sincerely to Li Chengdao.
Li Jiancheng was already dead, and Li Chengdao, who was the Crown Prince's remaining bloodline, was now his target of loyalty.
Moreover, the bravery that Li Chengdao displayed earlier had also deeply convinced him.
Xue Wanche nodded in agreement and said with hatred,""That's right, the traitor Li Shi Min killed his elder brother, which is unacceptable.
As long as Your Highness leaves Chang 'an alive, you can gather your troops and return to Chang' an with a wave of your hand!”
Feng Li and Xue Wanche were both loyal men, and their suggestions were very feasible.
However, Li Chengdao shook his head and said,""Outside Chang 'an City, Li Shiming's Black Armor Army is guarding the Imperial City. How can we, a mere 2,000 infantrymen, fight our way out?”
Feng Li and Xue Wanche's expressions froze.
That's right, Li Shi Min's Black Armored Army was an elite army, how could they possibly kill their way out with just a few soldiers?
Even if they killed their way out, they wouldn't be able to escape the pursuit of the cavalry.
Cavalrymen chasing infantrymen was like chopping melons and vegetables.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in Li Chengdao's ears again.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the mission option! [Option 1: Attack Chang 'an City Gate. Reward: White Horse General Chen Qingzhi!]”
"Option 2: Attack the Heavenly Strategy General's Residence and capture Li Shi Min's wife and children. Reward: 7,000 white-robed soldiers!”
The system once again gave Li Chengdao two choices, and these two mission rewards made Li Chengdao quite tempted.
"White Horse General Chen Qingzhi might be a good general, but what we need the most now are soldiers and horses.”
" I only have less than 2,000 Crown Prince guards. Even if Chen Qingzhi leads the army, he might not be able to break through the encirclement of the black-armored army and escape Chang 'an.”
" Even if I escape from Chang 'an, Li Shiming will have the military power and there will be no place for me in the world. Those aristocratic families will not necessarily go against Li Shiming for the sake of me, a descendant of the Crown Prince."”
"But if I lead my troops to attack the Heavenly Policy Manor,"
Li Chengdao's eyes flickered as he weighed the pros and cons.
"If we attack the Heavenly Policy Prefecture and capture Li Shiming's wife and children, I will have a bargaining chip in my hands!”
"I choose the second option, to attack the Heavenly Policy Manor!”
After some consideration, Li Chengdao no longer hesitated and chose the second option.
Then, he looked up at Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and the soldiers around him and said seriously,""Since we can't escape, we'll fight to the death!”
"This Prince wants to attack the Heavenly Policy Prefecture and capture the wife and children of the traitor Li Shi Min to threaten him!”
"This king has nothing now, and there is nothing I can promise you. If you surrender now, you can keep your lives, but if you take this risk with this king, you will definitely die if you fail!”
"Soldiers, are you willing to follow this king?”
Li Chengdao directly made his words clear, not avoiding the danger in it.
Feng Li, Xue Wanche, and the other soldiers were stunned for a moment before they knelt down without hesitation and shouted,"I am indebted to the Crown Prince's grace and am willing to follow His Highness the Regional King to the death!”
The other soldiers also knelt down in unison and shouted,"I swear to follow His Highness!"
His voice was sonorous, soaring into the sky!
The Li Jiancheng recorded in the history books was thousands of miles away from Li Shimin.
But was that really the case?
Definitely not.
From the reactions of the Crown Prince's guards in front of him, he could tell.
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Li Chengdao's blood boiled. He raised his head and laughed loudly, his tone filled with joy.
"The King of Qin, Li Shimin, is a traitor!”
Li Chengdao mounted his horse and took the Heavenly Halberd from Feng Li. Then, he said with a grim expression,""Soldiers, follow me to the Heavenly Policy Manor!”
"Yes!"
The two thousand guards of the Crown Prince roared at the sky and followed behind Li Chengdao, charging toward the Heavenly Policy Prefecture aggressively!
.........
At the same time, when Li Chengdao led his troops to attack the Heavenly Policy Prefecture, on a plain 30 miles away from the Wei River.
A golden light suddenly appeared, and a well-equipped army, all dressed in white robes and riding white horses, suddenly appeared.
"Generals, listen up!"
The leading general rode his horse and pointed his long saber at Chang 'an City in the distance.
"Go to Chang 'an City immediately and protect His Highness!”
"Yes!"
The seven thousand white-robed soldiers responded loudly, their voices shaking the clouds in the sky.
Then, the army turned into a white wave and rushed toward Chang 'an Fortress!
