Chapter 61: The City of the Capital is Broken
After dinner, the army outside the city suddenly moved, and the troops from the northeast, east and south slowly moved towards the city wall at the same time.
However, he stopped a stone's throw from the city walls.
Wen Xiansen put down the gesture that was about to give an order, and looked over strangely.
More than a hundred men from each of the three armies came out in formation, each armed with a bow and arrow, and then drew the bow and shot it on his back.
The sound of arrows breaking through the air made Wen Xiansen nervous, but to his surprise, these bows and arrows did not reach the city wall, but all of them shot in the city.
At the same time, there was a sudden commotion in the city, and from time to time someone shouted something.
Broken! Wen Xiansen was taken aback. The fastest way to break through the city is from the inside, and now several princes have actually planted people in the city, and this time it is troublesome.
Each piece carries a handwritten leaflet, which describes how the emperor killed his mother and was unfilial, and at the same time called the people of the capital to rise up against this rebellious emperor.
Although it was night, it alarmed many residents of the capital. As more and more flyers grew, the atmosphere in the capital became strange.
Wen Xiansen was helpless, he couldn't get the soldiers to collect the leaflets. But those yamen in the capital are also unattended. It stands to reason that they should have acted immediately.
Today's power in the DPRK and China is still too weak, and these people are all waiting and seeing.
That night, the army outside the city did not attack, and the people inside the city spread the news and did not move.
However, early the next morning, the horn of attack suddenly sounded outside the city.
As soon as Wen Xiansen climbed the city wall, he saw an army of three sides rushing towards the city wall, shouting "Kill the disobedient and unfilial emperor" as they rushed.
The soldiers on the walls were ready, and as soon as the rebels outside the city came within range of their bows, the archers took the lead in attacking. Countless were simply overwhelming, and then fiercely plunged into the rebels.
Screams of grief rang out as the rebels began to attack, shooting arrows into the walls, killing many soldiers.
Then, the trebuchets in the rear of the rebels began to wield their might, and large boulders whizzed down, each time taking the lives of several and dozens of soldiers of the city defense battalion.
However, compared to the rebels besieging the city, the pressure on the city defense battalion was much less.
The first battle lasted half an hour before it ended, leaving thousands of rebel soldiers under the walls.
And the news of the sudden siege battle also spread rapidly from the center of the capital to the whole country. In particular, the emperor's sins propagated by the rebels became the talk of the people in private.
Liang Jia was still staying peacefully in the palace, listening to the news from Jinyiwei from time to time.
The siege battle during the day was carried out once, and it was over, and Liang Jia didn't understand the meaning of these rebellious princes.
However, when the attack began outside the city at night, and the sound of fighting began to appear inside the city, everyone understood. This is to cooperate inside and outside, the capital is in danger.
Liang Jia was in the palace, and he could still hear the earth-shattering shout in his ears. He was also worried in his heart, everything that should be arranged was arranged, and it was up to him to see if it was useful in the end.
Moreover, in order to ensure the success rate, he also kept a killer feature, which depends on the final development.
If everything goes as he expected, he will be able to turn over completely, and if not, it will be a hundred times.
When there was fighting inside and outside the city, Wen Xiansen, the general of the city defense battalion, had never left half a step on the city wall. However, with the addition of 2,000 martial arts masters under the king of Fuzhou, the south gate was opened.
After getting the news that the south gate was opened, the army of the king of Mingzhou divided most of it and rushed over, and the army of the king of Min also divided half and went to the south gate.
Wen Xiansen hurriedly asked people to support the south gate, but with the two thousand martial arts masters of the king of Fuzhou in front of him, it would be difficult to take back the south gate for a while.
And with the arrival of the armies of King Mingzhou and King Min, the fall of the South Gate was a foregone conclusion.
Wen Xiansen was furious, and hurriedly ordered the other subordinates who were not attacked to go to the southern city at full speed to block the rebels from entering the city.
However, when the rebels entered the city, their morale was very high, and the army of the city defense battalion going to the south city could not resist it at all, and retreated step by step. The armies of both sides fought from the south of the city to the north of the city, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
The rebels are very much looking forward to the plundering after entering Beijing promised by the main general, so the city defense battalion in front of them is an obstacle to their fortune and must be eradicated.
The city defense battalion is responsible for the defense of the capital, and it is natural to kill the rebels.
Although it is not ***, the street battle with cold weapons is also very cruel, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties.
Compared to the city defense battalion, the rebels with high morale quickly reached the vicinity of the palace. Except for the accident left on the city wall to defend, as many as 50,000 people participated in the attack in the city, but when they were forced to the vicinity of the palace, there were only 30,000 people left.
There were 60,000 rebels entering the city, and the estimated losses were about 20,000 or 30,000.
But after all, the other side was outnumbered, and 20,000 soldiers were sent to the city defense camp all the way, and the rest of the soldiers, under the leadership of their officers, carried out a frenzied looting of the mansions of dignitaries near the palace.
King Min and King Mingzhou had already led their own troops into the city, leaving about 10,000 people on the west and north sides to continue the attack, involving the defense of the city defense battalion.
Both of them were very satisfied with the current offensive situation, and rode all the way to the vicinity of the palace.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion formed a circle around the palace to defend it, and behind them were their colleagues with bows and unsheathed knives on the palace walls.
Wen Xiansen had already ordered that those who retreated should be beheaded directly on the spot, so although many people wanted to enter the palace and rely on the city wall to defend, they were all rejected by Wen Xiansen.
The two armies stopped when they were two hundred meters apart, waiting for their leader to appear.
When King Min and King Mingzhou arrived, they didn't see King Fuzhou, and both of them hesitated.
But right now, it is a good opportunity to take the palace in one go, and they can't take care of the king of Fuzhou.
"Uncle Huang, attack, don't wait, at this time, the morale of the city defense camp is weak, and the defense strength in the palace is insufficient, it is a good opportunity for us to take the palace and kill the emperor." King Mingzhou persuaded.
"Good. Come. King Min nodded, beckoned a man to bow his head and give a few orders, and then ordered the army to continue the attack.
An army of forty or fifty thousand people instantly fought outside in an instant, and screams, shouts, and shouts resounded throughout the night sky.
The soldiers of the city defense battalion were supported by the bows and arrows of the guards on the palace wall, and the situation was somewhat better. But it's just better, and it can't change the situation that they are being pressed and beaten by the rebels.
As more and more rebels joined the offensive after looting, there was no new force on the side of the city defense battalion, and the situation was very disadvantageous.
Just when the two sides were incomparable, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves suddenly came, and it seemed that more people were flocking here.
However, both sides are red-eyed, where can they care about whether there is anyone coming, at this time everyone's minds are killing and killing!
