Li Heng really doesn't know what to do now.

Although he is a man, his ability is limited, and his long-term suppressed life makes it difficult for him to last forever. If Yang Guozhong had not been forced too quickly and his intention to depose and establish an office was fully revealed, he would have been unable to retreat. Li Jingzhong, Cheng Yuanzhen and others encouraged him in every way, he might not have dared to launch this coup.

When An Lushan heard his question, he couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at him and said, "It's time to retreat, so he naturally pursued me... Although I have few troops in the city, my army is gathering outside the city and it won't take long to arrive. Why should you worry about Your Majesty?"

Cheng Qianli's defeat caused the Chang'an Imperial Army to lose all the troops, leaving only less than 2,000 people serving as ceremonial guards. Although the people were recruiting strong people, Chang'an's economy is now developed, and there are fewer people who want to become soldiers and make contributions. In the anxious situation, there are not many people recruiting them. All of them are only three or four thousand. Therefore, after An Lushan entered the capital, he transferred another 6,000 An Lushan's troops to Chang'an City and temporarily acted as an imperial guards. An Lushan dared to launch a coup, which was his first reliance.

An Lushan's total troops entered the capital were 100,000, and more than 90,000 were scattered outside Chang'an City, of which 30,000 were the closest to Chang'an. These were An Lushan's second reliance.

These troops were originally made by Yang Guozhong, and he was not without defense against An Lushan, but now, his defense has become a joke. As An Lushan said, as soon as his army enters the city, the resistance in Chang'an City is not worth mentioning.

"So...chase?"

"Of course I have to chase after you," An Lushan said: "I'll go."

He summoned a subordinate, gave a few instructions, and then chased the west with his confidants.

It is not very far from Xingqing Palace to Ganlu Temple. Li Longji, Gao Lishi and other elderly people were held up. The palace maids who could not run were sent to hide themselves. Shouan and a strong palace maid dragged Yang Yuhuan for more than a moment, and finally rushed outside Ganlu Temple.

Although someone supported him, Li Longji was still exhausted. An imperial guard went to knock on the gate of Shengyefang, but in the middle of the night, there was noisy outside. Who dared to open the door?

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, the emperor is here, get busy."

"Crash it away"

An Yuanguang shouted, then he ran to the gate sideways. He hit the gate twice, but the door failed to open. Just as he was about to hit the third time, there was finally a sound inside.

"who?"

"The Holy Lord is here, open the door quickly," Chen Xuanli said.

"But An Yuanguang?" the person inside did not respond and asked.

"Someone is in Si, someone is in Si," An Yuanguang's heart moved and responded repeatedly.

If there is really something to escape to Ganlu Temple in Shengyefang, this is what Ye Chang told him. Now that Ye Chang has made this arrangement, someone should respond to Ganlu Temple.

Sure enough, the door was opened, and under the torch, the heads of seven or eight monks Guangguang were particularly obvious. An Yuanguang saw Shanzhi at a glance and his hanging heart slightly lowered: "It turns out that it is Master Shanzhi here."

"Ye Shiyi was worried that something would happen, so he asked me to take the order here." Shanzhi's eyes were bright: "Don't stay here for a long time. Come with me to the temple. There are horses in the temple."

"General An... did you also arrange it by Ye Chang?" Li Longji took a break at this time and asked An Yuanguang.

An Yuanguang smiled and said, "When Mr. Ye saw An Lushan's behavior, he suspected that he had a bad relationship with Yang Guozhong, so he sent his ministers to sue the Yang family..."

He was halfway through his words, but someone next to him shouted: "I have no intention of making a mistake, I am wronged. It is clearly because the prince colluded with An Lushan, and I am being kept in the dark."

An Yuanguang looked at it and found that it was Yang Guozhong. As everyone fled, Yang Guozhong, Lady Guoguo and others were not separated and followed him here.

"Who was the one who summoned An Lushan into the capital? Who was the one who slandered and framed Ye Gong with An Lushan? Who was the one who took charge of the court and harmed the country and the people?" An Yuanguang did not speak, and Shouan over there raised his brows unceremoniously: "Yang Guozhong, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

Lady Guo Guo was about to speak, but was dragged by Yang Guozhong. She suddenly realized that it was not the day.

In the peaceful season, relying on Li Longji's favor, she may not take Shou'an seriously, but now, their safety is all dependent on An Yuanguang, Shanzhi and Ye Chang's subordinates, how can they be rude to Shou'an?

"Ganlu Temple cannot be kept for a long time. We must go to the west of the city and find a way to meet Ye Shiyi." At Ganlu Temple, Shanzhi and others led a few horses and helped Li Longji on the horse, he turned to An Yuanguang: "Shiyilang said that if there is really a change, he will pick us up along Chunmingmen Street."

"He...how many soldiers and horses do he have in his hands?" Li Longji asked.

At this time, most of the soldiers in the city were under An Lushan's subordinates. Li Longji could not expect these people to be loyal. The few imperial guards who were loyal to him were either insufficient in combat or unknown to the situation. Li Longji could not expect them. The only hope was that Ye Chang was prepared and should have some troops.

"Originally, there were nearly a hundred guards in Ye's house. A few days ago, taking advantage of the battle with An Lushan and his son, he transferred 400 people from the village outside, which totaled no more than 500 people." Shan looked straight at Li Longji: "After all, it was in the capital. Ye Shiyi had to follow the rules when doing things. Even we, my fellow disciples and nephews, entered Ganlu Temple in the name of a monk in the wandering world."

After hearing that there were less than 500 Ye Chang, Li Longji was already very disappointed. Hearing that Ye Chang had to follow the rules, even though Li Longji had a very thick face, his face could not help but be slightly red at this time.

Loyal and righteous people must be restricted by laws, while treacherous and slanderous people can do whatever they want. The reason why this situation is not someone else, but Li Longji himself.

"Can Ye Chang come... At this time, he himself was besieged?" Wei Jiansu said.

Everyone couldn't help but glared at him, and Wei Jiansu was frightened. But everyone understood that he was right. In this coup, An Lushan and others were going to capture Ye Chang in addition to controlling the key parts of the palace and the city gate. Ye Chang had only 500 people, and it was not enough to protect himself. How could they come?

Just as the midnight bell rang for the New Year, rebel attacks occurred in almost all key places in Chang'an City, including the Ye Mansion.

The brigade of men dressed in officers and soldiers appeared next to Ye’s mansion and surrounded Ye’s mansion.

"I will definitely capture Ye Chang alive today." Li Huaiyu stared at the Ye family members in the crowd, feeling the passion in his heart. He looked back at the east side, feeling a little anxious: "Why haven't you come yet?"

According to the prior agreement, they just needed to surround Ye’s house and not let Ye Chang escape. The real command of the attack was An Lushan himself, An Lushan had always been dissatisfied with Ye Chang’s reputation, and he also wanted to step Ye Chang under his feet himself.

There was a mess on the east side, and there was even a fire in the direction of Xingqing Palace, which proved that things were not as smooth as expected.

However, Li Huaiyu didn't wait long. After about two quarters of an hour, he saw the sound of people coming from there. Under the guidance of at least hundreds of torches, about 2,000 soldiers and horses trotted here.

Li Huaiyu felt awe-inspiring: With his troops on his side, An Lushan used 3,000 people to attack Ye Zhai. This number is already one-third of the number of people An Lushan could use in Chang'an City.

However, it was not An Lushan who appeared in front of Li Huaiyu, but An Qingzong.

"What's the situation? Has Ye Chang come out?" After An Qingzong arrived, he asked impatiently.

"There was no movement in the house."

"Crash the door, be careful and guard it, don't let them escape in the chaos."

An Qingzong asked casually a few questions and began to issue orders. He was very excited in his eyes. He thought of the humiliation that "Fenghualou" that day, and he would have to repay him ten times today.

Li Huaiyu has been here for so long and has been ready to attack. Because the bumping wood used to hit the door was immediately carried up. They were about to hit the door of Ye Mansion, but suddenly the door of Ye Mansion was opened and the lights inside were lit almost at the same time.

This did not surprise An Qingzong and Li Huaiyu. After all, it was strange that Ye Zui had no reaction when there was such a big noise outside.

But the people who appeared in front of the gate immediately surprised them.

Ye Chang stood in front of the door with a smile and bowed to the outside: "If a guest is visiting, he should welcome him... I wonder if the visitor is Doctor An?"

An Qingzong raised his eyebrows: "It's me"

"Doctor An didn't come?" Ye Chang was a little disappointed: "It's a pity, but Mr. An is the same...

"Ye Chang, what else do you have to say today?" An Qingzong sternly said: "I was too insulted by Fenghua Tower that day, and I was also insulted by my father on the imperial carriage. Today I want to chop off your dog's head."

"It's too urgent to say this. When your father sent you here, you must have given some instructions?" Ye Chang pointed to his head: "The wealth in the world is all in this head. How can your father cut it off easily?"

Anqingzong couldn't help but feel speechless for a moment.

As Ye Chang said, before he came, An Lushan did explain: If Ye Chang wanted to break through the siege and escape, he would take his life at any cost. But if Ye Chang did not escape, he would try to capture it alive. Although Aolai Country is a well-known scam lie, Ye Chang still had many ideas of wealth in his mind, which is also known to the world.

"Submit your hand and spare you," An Qingzong said again after pausing for a moment, but this momentum was much weaker than before.

Ye Chang laughed and said, "When Anjun horses arrived here, I guess Ling Zun had no time to withdraw. I originally prepared some small gifts for Ling Zun, but now I can only offer Anjun horses."

An Qingzong did not believe that Ye Chang would really give him any gifts to his father and son, but he was in control of the situation now. Out of the mentality of playing with rats, he was not in a hurry to capture Ye Chang immediately, so he sneered: "Ye Chang, what other tricks do you want to play in this situation now?"

"Come on." Ye Chang clapped his hands.

An Qingzong looked at it intently and saw a young man holding a brocade box and delivering it to Ye Chang under the fire. Ye Chang opened the brocade box and took out two things from it. An Qingzong saw that the two things had no difference in appearance, but an iron stick was placed on a curved wooden handle, which looked like a short stick. He was a little puzzled: What did Ye Chang do with this thing?

Ye Chang raised his hand and pointed the short staff at Anqing Sect with both hands. He had no habit of talking nonsense. He just pulled the motive and heard a loud "boom". The iron rod of the short staff spewed out a red flame. Before Anqing Sect could react, he screamed "ah" and his body was hit by a hammer. He leaned back and fell down from the horse.

His war horse was also frightened and jumped a lot, while An Lushan's subordinates were also in chaos.

"This is..." Li Huaiyu's eyes popped out: "What is this?"

Not only did he not know, but even the people around Ye Chang didn't know much about what it was

In the eighth year of Tianbao, Ye Chang had already prepared gunpowder. Since then, he asked the craftsmen to constantly improve gunpowder. At the same time, he also found a skilled craftsman. At all costs, it took him six years to drill out more than ten iron pipes to make the two muskets he holds now.

Because the barrel is relatively short, this can only be regarded as a handgun, with a range of only about ten feet, which is far inferior to the bow and arrow. Ye Chang did not make it into a combing gun, but directly built an impact flintlock gun. Because the structure is relatively complex, it is very difficult for even the skilled craftsmen in the clock workshop to polish out a suitable machine. It takes half a year to build these two handguns.

Originally, the flintlock rifle was invented and improved by watchmakers. Ye Chang spent a lot of money and manpower and took several years to achieve such results.

He was originally preparing for An Lushan - if An Lushan launched a coup, he would definitely come to find him. If he could kill An Lushan in one fell swoop, his soldiers would be in chaos. Ye Chang could leave Chang'an calmly at that time. However, if An Lushan did not come, he would be fine with An Qingxu to test his gun.

Because the flintlock was still relying on flint at this time, Ye Chang was worried that there would be no fire, so when he fired, he was two guns. However, God cooperated very much. The first time the musket was officially used, there was no fire. And under the protection of dozens of guards, Anqingzong was only more than six meters away from him, which was within the range of the gun's range.

However, because of its power, hitting the vital points within this range can seriously injure the enemy. If you want to kill it with one blow, it depends on some luck. Ye Chang's two shots hit Anqing Sect, but one shot hit the face, and the other shot hit the chest. Anqing Sect has armor on his chest, and this blow on his chest only broke his ribs. It was a blow on his face, penetrated his cheeks and entered his body. I don't know where he went. Although Anqing Sect did not die immediately, he screamed and howled on the ground. The painful condition was shocking.

"kill"

After Ye Chang's two shots, he immediately took a few steps back, and the personal guards beside him also quickly stepped forward to protect him. With Ye Chang's wave of his hand, nearly a hundred figures appeared on the walls on both sides of the door.

At this time, Li Huaiyu reacted and shouted: "Kill the enemy--"

Before he finished speaking, nearly a hundred figures on the wall shrank back, but countless fire points appeared in the air. Li Huaiyu initially thought it was a rocket, but when he looked up, he saw that the speed of these fire points was not falling fast, and they should not be thrown out by the bowstring, but by empty hands.
