Chapter 180: The Great Army Dispatches, Kill!
After dealing with the two dogs, Zhu Cihong came to the million-cang school field in the city, only to see that the flags on the school field were like a sea, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies had been assembled.
Looking at his army, Zhu Cihong felt a strong self-confidence in his heart, this is his own capital, the capital of all those who resist!
In the future, this capital will grow bigger and bigger, until all obstacles in its path will be crushed!
Zhu Cihong pulled out the sword on his body and said loudly: "Attack to quell the chaos!" Kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The overwhelming cheers rang out, and the army was divided into three routes, and rushed from the three city gates to the outside of the city with thunderous footsteps.
The ironclad army was mighty, and the eight guards of Fengyang were rushed along the official road, and the three thousand iron cavalry of the Royal Cavalry Regiment were like rolling waves, rushing along the Huai River to attack the farthest Changhuai Guard.
The 20,000 troops of the Tianwu Army were all dispatched, the dragon banner was unfurled, the goals of each department were clear, and the people of the government and government everywhere were shocked and did not know what had happened.
The nearest Imperial Tomb Guard guard's face turned pale, and he hurriedly went to report to the commander, and the Imperial Tomb Guard commander saw the army rushing straight forward, and his body trembled with fright, and the crown prince did not hesitate to use the army to suppress the guard? He......
Sun Yingyuan immediately stepped forward, looked at the commander of the imperial mausoleum guard on the city wall, and said, "Quickly go out of the city and surrender!" ”
The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard shouted: "Sun Yingyuan, behind me is the Imperial Mausoleum, you dare to invade the Imperial Mausoleum, it is simply a great rebellion!" ”
Sun Yingyuan shouted: "By the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Tianwu Army came to quell the chaos and take over the Imperial Tomb Guard. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the artillerymen of the second royal brigade pushed the artillery to the city wall, each brigade has three artillery bai, which is equivalent to a complete artillery battalion, although there are not many heavy artillery, but there are also a few Hongyi cannons, and the rest are Franc machine guns and tiger squat guns.
Seeing dozens of artillery pieces blocked at the gate of the city, the commander of the imperial tomb guard in the city, Tongzhi's legs weakened, and he said in a trembling voice: "Commander, what should we do?" ”
The commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard made the beads of sweat on his forehead crackle, he really regretted listening to Gao Chi's words, it was really difficult to ride a tiger now!
After a fierce choice in his heart, the commander of the Imperial Tomb suddenly shouted: "If you surrender, even if you don't die, a large area of land will be confiscated, rather than sit and wait to be killed, it is better to die and the net is broken, this official does not believe that Sun Yingyuan dares to bombard the Imperial Tomb!" ”
Seeing that the other party didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Sun Yingyuan immediately shouted: "The artillery blasted open the city gate, killed in, and no one was left behind with weapons!" ”
"Fire!"
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......."
Several Hongyi cannons let out a roar, and the huge solid bullets roared and smashed into the earthen wall city gate, making a huge roar, which frightened the defenders of the city into a cold sweat.
The imperial mausoleum of Fengyang is built by Ming Taizu for his parents and brother and sister-in-law, covers an area of more than 20,000 acres, there are three city walls of the imperial city, the brick city and the earth city from the inside to the outside, the city wall in front of him is just the earth city, and it can not withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the Hongyi cannon at all.
In just two rounds, the gates of Tucheng were bombarded open by artillery, and thousands of soldiers of the Second Royal Brigade entered Tucheng like a tide, without even raising their shields, because the guards of the Imperial Tomb in the city had already run away.
After entering Tucheng, Sun Yingyuan immediately ordered the cavalry regiment directly under the brigade to capture all the rebellious troops and kill all those armed with weapons!
Some guards relied on their officers and soldiers to try to fight against the Tianwu Army with weapons, but all of them were killed without accident.
The cavalry regiment captured all the commanders of the Imperial Tomb Guard and a hundred and ten generals near the brick city, and a large group of guards were tied up and thrown in front of the Tucheng Gate, and many people were very worried in their hearts, not knowing what this fierce Tianwu army would do with themselves......
In the imperial mausoleum, Sun Yingyuan had some scruples and did not dare to kill inside, which is why Zhu Cihong sent him, and he ordered all these people to be locked up.
After solving the Imperial Tomb Guard, Sun Yingyuan immediately withdrew from the Imperial Tomb with the Second Brigade, and ordered the troops to attack the remaining two targets in two directions: the left guard and the center guard.
The Tianwu Army came too quickly, too suddenly, and the generals, heroes, and merchants of the Eight Guards were in chaos after receiving the news.
Gao Chi and several other commanders of the guard post looked confused, didn't the garrison eunuch and the Fengyang prefect enter the palace to meet the crown prince? Why was the crown prince not frightened, but sent troops to suppress it? What exactly did they talk about?
In a panic, the commander of several guards hurriedly sent someone to contact Yang Yufan, the chief soldier of Fengyang, asking him to lead the army to block the Tianwu army, and promised that there would be a recompense afterwards, 100,000 acres of fertile land, one million taels of gold and silver, and the place was chosen by him.
In their hearts, the only army that Fengyang Mansion can fight is the 20,000 battalions in the hands of Yang Yufan, if Yang Yufan can help and stalemate with the Tianwu Army, then the situation will be much better, at least the crown prince will not dare to make a big move.......
In the Fengyang General Army's Mansion, Yang Yufan sneered after receiving letters from several commanders, and said: "A few insatiable stupid things, I don't know what to say when they die!" ”
Yang Yufan was angry in his heart, these people usually don't take him seriously, but when they encounter things, they are like a grandson, they know why bother today!
Through the conversation with Xu Sheng, Yang Yufan already vaguely knew that these people would be unlucky, but he didn't expect the crown prince to do it so soon.
But Yang Yufan doesn't care, it has nothing to do with him, as long as the 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands are in accordance with their duties, they can guard against the rogues and guard Fengyang, as for how others make trouble, I will not accompany them!
Zhu Dadian, the governor of Caoyun, also received a distress letter, and when he heard about it, he was so frightened that he almost fainted, and kept muttering: "Woe to you!" Woe to you! ”
He had a hunch that many people would die in this incident, and he would have to lose his official position and go home to farm, after thinking for a while, Zhu Dadian decided to enter the palace to meet the crown prince and mediate the matter.
In front of the imperial city, Zhu Dadian was stopped outside without even entering the door, and the guards told him that the crown prince would not see anyone for two days.
Zhu Dadian was so anxious that he had to ride a horse to the guards to stop the two sides from fighting each other, but he was desperate that the crown prince's personal guard camp had closed the four cities of Fengyang City and imposed martial law on the whole city, and he couldn't get out at all!
Not only that, but there were officials patrolling around the streets of the city, and when they saw some gentry who had gathered to make trouble, they were beaten violently, and after beating them, they were directly handcuffed to the head with a large iron chain and dragged to the government prison.
Zhu Dadian asked a servant: "What about your prefect Zhuang Hongchang?" ”
Seeing that he was wearing a second-grade red official uniform, this official didn't dare to slack off, so he nodded and said: "If you go back to your lordship, our prefect has been missing for a long time, and I heard that he was let by His Royal Highness, and he also brought the garrison eunuch Wang Gonggong......"
"Even the garrison eunuch has been arrested?" Zhu Dadian was shocked, rode back home in a hurry, closed the door and didn't care about anything.
