Zhang Tongchang is really a ruthless person.

He is very knowledgeable, has heard and seen since he was a child, and knows everything about officialdom.

Five years ago, he was strong in blood, and when he led the troops, he was the one who took the lead in the advance of the army.

When the army was shaken, he was the one who sat still.

But what's the use?

It should be defeated as it should be, and it should be destroyed as it should be.

Zhang Tongchang later found that the root of the problem was not here.

Otherwise, he should have been martyred when the Longwu Dynasty died.

In just a few years, after the three dynasties of Chongzhen, Longwu and Yixing, people began to mature, and now they have reached home.

No longer has the desperate blood of Saburo when he was a teenager, and at this time, he has become calm and terrifying.

He also figured out that King Wu was right to expel the clan of the eleven prefectures under his jurisdiction before, and the clan was one of the biggest reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty.

"Commander of the capital, the Jingwang Mansion has been surrounded by our department, and please order the attack!"

When a partial general stepped forward to report, Zhang Tongchang looked at the tall lintel of King Jing's Mansion from afar, and a sneer flashed on his lips.

"Order the soldiers to be on guard and send someone to come forward and smash the door." Zhang Tongchang ordered coldly.

The general was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Zhang Tongchang suspiciously.

What's going on?

Attack, obviously can be taken by surprise, it is late at night, the palace is surrounded on all sides, and it has not yet been noticed, as long as an order is given, the ladder is used to cross the wall, you can quickly control the people inside, and break up the resistance that may occur.

You know, the Prince's Mansion, although it is not allowed to raise soldiers, but which one does not have a hundred and ten guards?

This is still a decimal, like King Jing's intention to rebel, privately raising some dead soldiers, that is conceivable.

If you go and smash the door, it is not the same as notifying the other party that the army is coming, so prepare quickly.

But the boss's order had to be followed, and after confirming Zhang Tongchang's order, he went to implement it.

Sure enough, when the door was slammed, the originally dark courtyard suddenly became bright.

The voices began to boil, and the towering courtyard wall began to poke out people's heads, and under the reflection of the torches, arrows reflecting the light appeared in Zhang Tongchang's eyes.

Zhang Tongchang smiled, laughing with a hint of anger.

"Shoot!"

……。

Zhu Cixuan finally controlled the scene in the middle hall.

The price is that he promised a prison position and a Zongzheng position.

Ridiculous, right?

He himself is Zong Zhengqing, and before he stepped down, he handed over his position, and this position was naturally given to Zhu Cuncao, the king of Qin, and only Zhu Cuncao was the biggest threat.

Zhu Cixuan really can't help it, otherwise, how can these old people who were mixed up from the war be able to get rid of him?

Without these guards in the palace gathered, how could they attack the palace?

Anyway, what should be promised is what happened after ascending the throne, and when you sit in that position, you just have to find a way to clean up this group of bastards.

Just as Zhu Cixuan was about to disperse today's assembly and order the kings to go back and gather their men.

The leader of the dead soldiers he raised came to report, and Jingwei surrounded the palace.

Zhu Cixuan was shocked and asked urgently, "How many people are there?" ”

"It's too dark to see clearly, there are a lot of torches, and it is estimated that there are no less than five hundred."

At this moment, there was a hustle and bustle in the middle hall.

Zhu Cixuan obviously felt uneasy, not uneasy about the army outside the mansion, but uneasy about the eyes of some uncles and brothers in the hall looking at him.

Zhu Cixuan knew very well that if he couldn't control the situation, these people would sell him first to exonerate themselves.

Zhu Cixuan immediately said: "Everyone, join forces to rush out first, in the direction of the North Jinchuan Gate, the guard of this gate, as long as the old subordinates of this king go out of the city, Jingwei can't help us ...... for a while." ”

However, no one in the church paid any attention to him.

One by one, they pretended to chat with each other, although they didn't know what other bullshit they could talk about at this time, but they looked very real, so real that Zhu Cixuan couldn't blame them.

This makes it clear that you have the ability to get the army outside the house, and if you can get it, we will continue to listen to you, but if you can't do it, I'm sorry, the bridge will return to the bridge, the road will return to the road, and you have to carry the pot yourself.

Zhu Cixuan was so angry that he stomped his feet, and angrily ordered the dead man: "Gather all the manpower in the mansion, go to the front yard with this king, and go to the wall to resist the enemy." ”

……。

"Shoot!"

Zhang Tongchang is indeed a veteran and a good hand at mental arithmetic.

He had already made up his mind to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

First ordered to smash the door, deliberately notified the palace, and exposed the army in front of the palace, it seems that the number is indeed small, but it is not only five hundred, but thousand.

These thousand people are all crossbowmen.

There are two intentions, one is to leave a way back for himself, because if he orders to attack from all sides at the same time according to the advice of his subordinates, then, with the full force of 3,000 people, I am afraid that the palace will suddenly fall, and in this way, Zhang Tongchang will order to kill again, which is a deliberate disobedience. Therefore, only if the palace resists, then he orders the killing to counter the rebellion, not to kill the royal family without authorization.

Second, if you climb the wall and attack, even if the guards inside are all cowards, there will always be a few people who don't know how to die, and shoot arrows at the Jingwei who climb the wall, and the Jingwei casualties are inevitable. Only when the front of the gate is exposed, the guards in the palace will rush to the front yard and resist on the wall.

So, how did Zhang Tongchang judge that the people in the house were almost gathered?

In fact, it is very simple, at this time, in the middle of the night, a large number of people flock to the front yard, naturally need torches to illuminate, just like Zhang Tongchang's own army outside the house, otherwise, how to see clearly?

Although the wall of the house is nearly two people high, the light of the torches can't cover it.

The brighter the light, the more people gather.

Simple and effective.

Seeing that the firelight was like daylight, Zhang Tongchang grinned and smiled.

So, shoot!

……。

This kind of blow cannot be done with muskets, crossbows, and short bows.

Only the longbow can.

Because muskets and crossbows can only shoot directly, while short bows are too close to reach.

Extend the distance, the longbow is diffused, and the arrow will pass over the towering wall in a parabolic trajectory to strike the target behind the wall.

Poor Zhu Cixuan, he finally mustered up the courage to gather more than 100 guards and 300 dead soldiers, and just arrived in the front yard.

was caught off guard by the rain of arrows that fell from the sky.

A thousand skilled longbowmen can complete a shot in two to three seconds.

You can shoot a pot of arrows in one minute, completely covering an area within a three-mile radius.

At this time, people who were caught off guard didn't even have time to turn back and escape.

Therefore, the unfortunate Zhu Cixuan could never have imagined that retribution would come so quickly and so ruthlessly.

He thought that even if the matter was revealed, the emperor should arrest him and then convict him after interrogation, after all, he was the Prince of Jinshu.

In fact, Zhu Yujiao really didn't mean to kill him on the spot, but the problem is that someone came to urge him.

Zhu Cixuan died.

He was hit by several arrows on the spot, and he didn't even make a single cry, and he died.

The guards and dead soldiers who came with him suffered heavy casualties under the blow of the dense rain of arrows, and only less than thirty percent of the people who ran behind fled with their lives.
