Chapter 572 The rebellion is quickly put down
"Well……"
An arrow shot through the air and shot down a Dong Qi soldier from the palace wall, which also sounded the clarion call for the Wei army to attack the Dong Qi palace.
With the help of Prince Tian Ying, the Wei army's vanguard was able to successfully enter Jimo City without spending much energy.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden release of force. Before the defenders had time to react, the Wei army decisively launched a sneak attack.
At the same time, the main force of the Wei army, which had been waiting outside the city for a long time, saw that the forward had succeeded, and immediately launched a powerful offensive.
With such internal and external coordination, the Jimo city wall was quickly breached, and the main force of the Wei army took advantage of the situation to invade the city in a large scale.
The city defense was lost and the enemy force was strong. After knowing that the situation was no longer favorable to our side, and after Tian Ying's persuasion, some Eastern Qi soldiers chose to lay down their weapons.
As for other die-hard loyalists of Prince Tian Piqiang, they quickly retreated to the palace city, hoping to make a final resistance here.
Seeing a corpse falling from the top of the wall, the Wei army's forward leader, Gongsun Yan, the leader of the rhinoceros, slowly put down the strong bow in his hand.
"Soldiers, this is the time to make great achievements. Follow me..."
"kill!"
"kill……"
The light from the burning torches illuminated the dark night as brightly as day. Accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, the Wei army's troops pointed directly at the palace city in front of them.
First the city wall fell, and then they were besieged by powerful enemies. The morale of the Eastern Qi soldiers had already declined greatly. When faced with the overwhelming attack of the Wei army, they did not have much power to resist.
With a "bang", this huge sound, the Dongqi Palace Gate in front of me immediately burst open.
With this gap, countless Wei soldiers turned into huge waves and poured in all at once.
The Dongqi soldiers guarding the palace city were unable to stop the advance of this huge wave. Some of them were mercilessly swallowed by the huge wave, while the remaining ones were pushed back into the palace.
"Prince, the Wei army's offensive is very urgent, and it is difficult for our army to resist it."
A figure covered in blood broke through the door, bringing Tian Biqiang this shocking news.
After hearing this news, the prince's confidant immediately suggested: "Prince, the Wei army is powerful, and the war is not conducive to me. We should leave here as soon as possible before the Wei army arrives."
"Leave this place?"
After seeing the situation clearly and understanding how stupid his actions were, Tian Biqiang could only laugh at himself.
"Where can I go from here?"
"Besides, if I leave at this time, wouldn't it put the Dong Qi and Tian families in an extremely dangerous situation?"
"If I guessed correctly, my younger brother is probably among those Wei soldiers."
His thoughts gradually became clearer, and a look of determination appeared in Tian Biqiang's eyes.
Tian Biqiang turned around and took out a long sword from behind, and ran straight out of the hall.
"I'm going to see my brother. Sir, please leave first."
When Tian Biqiang walked out of the hall with a long sword in hand, the situation in front of him was worse than he expected.
Countless Wei troops have already rushed to the open space in front of the main hall, and in front of them there are only a hundred or so loyal loyalists of the prince who are lingering.
"Archers come forward..."
When the defeated army in front of him was blocked by the main hall and had no way to retreat, Gongsun Yan decisively issued the order.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps, countless archers lined up in front, and sharp arrow clusters emitted a faint cold light.
There is no doubt that as long as Gongsun Yan gives the order, these defeated soldiers will be shot to death by random arrows immediately.
"Wait a minute!"
Just at this moment, a figure stopped Gongsun Yan from giving the next order, and Tian Biqiang, dressed in purple robes, came in front of him.
"Tian Biqiang, the crown prince of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, has met the general."
"Your Majesty, you are polite." Looking at Tian Biqiang who suddenly appeared across from him, Gongsun Yan didn't understand his purpose for a moment, "I wonder what the Crown Prince is here for?"
"I just want to see my brother. I wonder if the general would be willing to make it easier."
"Can."
Not long after, the Wei army formation suddenly opened a path, and Tian Ying came to Tian Biqiang under heavy guard.
Looking at his brother in front, and then at the countless Wei troops waiting in formation behind him, Tian Ying immediately showed a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Brother, you have failed."
Don't look at it. Not long ago, I ran away in a hurry, like a lost dog.
But at this moment, he was able to stand in front of the two military formations and talk to his brother.
Facts have proved that his choice was not wrong, but his brother's choice will lead to the destruction of Dong Qi and the Tian family.
"Yes, I lost."
He glanced at Tian Ying with a complicated expression, a bit unwilling, but more of a deep powerlessness.
If the Qi State was still as powerful as before, how could I have ended up in this situation?
A wry smile appeared on Tian Biqiang's face for a long time, until his eyes looked at Tian Ying in front of him with great solemnity.
"Brother Ying, I will leave Dong Qi to you."
After reciting this sentence silently in his mind, Tian Biqiang turned his eyes to Gongsun Yan on the other side, "General, Dong Qi's actions were all decided by Piqiang alone and had nothing to do with anyone else."
"Piqiang knew that he was guilty of a serious crime and had no face to see the King of Wei and his father-in-law. He only wished to die to thank the world."
After finishing his words, before Gongsun Yan could reply, Tian Biqiang directly pulled out the sword in his hand and placed the blade on his neck.
There was a "clang" sound, and with blood flowing down from the sword body, Tian Biqiang's body slowly fell down.
"Brother..."
After a moment, Tian Ying looked at Tian Biqiang in front of him, his eyes still filled with shock that had not yet awakened.
Gongsun Yan, who took all this into consideration, just sighed softly, and then ordered his soldiers to start cleaning up the mess.
…
"Kakaka..."
With a squeezing sound of wood, the door of the main hall was slowly opened, and a group of uninvited guests suddenly came in front of Dong Qi Gongtian Yinqi's bed.
"The last general, Gongsun Yan, pays homage to your Majesty."
"General, you don't have to be polite." Tian Yinqi, who was still seriously ill, was speaking while supporting the bed with his hands, trying hard to sit up.
"Father..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this." Looking at Tian Yinqi who was being helped by Tian Ying to sit up, Gongsun Yan said in a deep voice: "Tian Piqiang's rebellion has been put down, and the main culprit has committed suicide. As for how to deal with this matter after that, we still have to decide.
It is up to the king to decide how to repay Anyi."
"As for the defense of Jimo City, the last general will be in charge for the time being. The Duke of Dong Qi has not recovered from his serious illness and needs to rest more. The last general will take his leave."
After saying this, Gongsun Yan turned around and walked out of the palace, leaving only Tian Yinqi and Tian Ying and his son.
"Father, brother, he..."
"My father-in-law knows." The grief in Tian Yinqi's heart is self-evident when he lost his son in old age.
But in addition to being a father, he is also the master of the Eastern Qi Kingdom and the head of the Tian family. The situation cannot help but make him feel sad.
Holding his other son tightly with his right hand, Tian Yinqi said with the same solemnity: "Ying, Dong Qi is up to you."
