The reason why the rocket soldiers had to ride in the chariot was to catch up with the mobility of the heavy armored cavalry and the light armored cavalry, and the second was because the rocket they were equipped with was not the kind of fire crossbow meteor arrow that Kou Ji gave to Zhu Neng, but a more advanced hundred tigers running together.

The Fire Ballista Meteor Arrow is fired at the same time, while the Hundred Tigers are fired at the same time with a hundred arrows.

The lethality is staggering.

Di Qing led the army and rushed all the way to the outer city walls.

A part of the defenders on the city wall are reorganizing their troops under the command of the generals defending the city, preparing to enter the city to exterminate the traitors, and the other part of the defenders found Di Qing and his party, and quickly shot arrows, and held bed crossbows and other objects, ready to attack Di Qing and his party.

Di Qing immediately ordered the scouts in the army to shoot arrows, and at the same time sat on horseback and shouted at the city.

"I am Di Qing, the commander of the official family's pro-army Tiger Army, and I am under the command of Kou Jikou to exterminate the traitors!"

"Where did the thieves go?!"

The defenders on the city wall heard Di Qing's cry, but they were not gullible.

The general defending the city lay on the battlement and roared: "The thieves have gone to the New Song Gate, the New Song Gate has been broken, and the thieves are attacking the Song Gate of the inner city...... With three ringing arrows as the trumpet, distinguish between friend and foe. ”

When Di Qing heard this, he stopped talking, and drove the horse under his crotch to rush to the New Song Gate.

The New Song Gate, that is, the East City Gate.

When Di Qing led the army to the gate of the east city, he met a group of stragglers, broke away from the army, and plundered in the royal garden outside the east city gate, Yichun Garden.

Di Qing sent out a light cavalry of 300 men to exterminate the thieves.

Di Qing led the remaining soldiers and rushed into the east city gate.

One rushed into the city gates.

Di Qing was stunned.

Nearly 90,000 rebels were crammed into the streets leading from the New Song Gate to the Song Gate, filling the streets to the brim.

There are rebel soldiers, who are leading their soldiers to plunder.

There are also rebel soldiers who are gathering their troops and horses, planning to attack Caomen along Xinsong Street, Xincao Street, and Chenqiao Street in the middle of the two streets.

The streets were in chaos.

Di Qing's face was grim, and he immediately pointed his heavy gun at the sky, ready to give the order to charge.

But seeing Second Sister Cao straddle forward, she said urgently: "Commander, it's not appropriate to kill from here." ”

Di Qing held the heavy gun and frowned, "Why? ”

Second Sister Cao hurriedly said: "The rebels have blocked Xinsong Street, if we lead the army to kill it, within three hundred zhang, we will definitely be blocked by the corpses of the rebels."

Therefore, the new Song Street is not suitable for the Tiger Army under our command. ”

Di Qing's brows furrowed even tighter.

Seeing the rebels rushing into the houses on both sides of the street to burn and loot, his teeth rattled.

Zhu You stepped forward on this matter, "Commander, the rebels rushed into Xinsong Street in a swarm, Xinsong Street is tightly blocked, which is not conducive to our fighting, we should enter Beijing through Xincaomen."

Then exterminate the rebels who rushed to Caomen, and then kill along Chenqiao Street, cutting off the rebels from the middle. ”

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "But we were secretly dispatched to Beijing by the commander, and we don't have a military talisman seal in our hands, and the defenders of Xincaomen may not be willing to open the door for us." ”

"I'll leave this matter to our family...... Our family has a copy of the secret edict written by the official. ”

A eunuch stepped forward and said solemnly.

When Di Qing heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and said decisively: "Let's go...... Go to the new Caomen ......"

Immediately, Di Qing led the soldiers and horses and rushed to Xincaomen.

Arrived at Shin Caomen.

The eunuchs in the army let people use arrows to shoot Zhao Zhen's handwritten edict on the city.

The guards at the head of the city immediately opened the door for Di Qing and his party, and assigned 3,000 elite soldiers to follow Di Qing and his party to Caomen.

Di Qing and his entourage had just entered Xincao Street and saw a rebel army that had gone to attack Caomen.

"Hundred Tigers Open the Way!"

Heavy armor!

Light armor!

They ran to both sides of the street.

With a chariot running together, he quickly rushed in front of the rebels.

"Shoot!"

"Bang bang bang!"

A sound like a cannon shot rang out.

Arrows burst out from the large boxes on the chariot.

The arrows formed a dense network of arrows and shot at the rebels.

The rebels had just received an order from Zhao Yuanyan and divided their troops to attack Caomen in the inner city, but before they could reach Caomen, they ran into the Tiger Army.

Without waiting for them to react, the Tiger Army fired a volley of rounds, hitting them with their heads in their hands.

One by one, those who threw away their armor and hid back.

They were not the elites led by Zhao Yuanyan, but were recruited by the generals under Zhao Yuanyan to make up the numbers.

The combat strength is only three or five hundred.

The rest of the people used to be mixed in the army.

In the face of such a strong offensive of the Tiger Army, they are opponents and can only defend and retreat.

"Shoot again!"

Di Qing ordered again.

Another round of chariots stepped forward and shot arrows.

The rebels were forced to retreat into the street leading to Caomen at the junction of Xincao Street and Chenqiao Street.

I saw that most of the rebels had gone in.

Di Qing smiled coldly and shouted: "Zhu You and Cao Bu Generals, order the two of you to lead a thousand heavy cavalry and a thousand light cavalry to exterminate the rebels." ”

Second Sister Cao got the order, carried a big gun heavier than Di Qing's heavy gun, and rushed out first.

Behind her, a thousand heavy armors quietly followed.

"Boom ......"

The sound of horses' hooves thundered.

The moving lumps of steel, under the light of the fire, emitted a chilling light.

"Bang!"

Second Sister Cao held a heavy gun, and she didn't see any moves, she aimed straight ahead, and rushed into the rebels arrogantly.

Moment.

The wolf entered the flock, and the shouts of killing were everywhere.

The rebels in front of the heavily armored cavalry do not need to be cleared by superfluous means.

The heavily armored horses and their brutal assault tore them apart.

The rebels, who were hiding on the two wings, were ridden by heavy armor on horseback, wielding long knives, and reaping their lives.

Just one charge.

The rebels on the street leading to Caomen were like wheat blown down by the wind, and a large area fell down, and a pit appeared.

Seeing this, Di Qing did not take care of the war here, and led the remaining heavy armored cavalry to break along Chen Qiao Street and kill on Xinsong Street.

Time.

The flames are blazing.

The shouts of killing shook through Bianjing.

Song Gate.

Zhao Yuanyan was dressed in a yellow robe, holding a long sword in his hand, and roared angrily to let his soldiers attack the Song Gate.

The soldiers carried the ladder like a tide, and poured up the city wall at the Song Gate.

The huge siege chise, driven by hundreds of soldiers, slammed into the gate of the Song Gate.

Gaps appeared in the door.

"Official...... The soldiers who went to attack Caomen bumped into the Tiger Army! ”

A scout with a bloody face rushed to Zhao Yuanyan's side across his horse and shouted loudly.

After shouting these words, he fell headlong to the ground.

On his back, three arrows were pierced.

Zhao Yuanyan's eyes turned red in an instant.

"How could the Tiger Army appear in Bianjing City?"

Zhao Yuanyan roared angrily, "I need an explanation? ”

"Wang Qinruo, get out of here and tell me why the Tiger Army appeared in Bianjing."

“……”

Zhao Yuanyan couldn't help but be angry.

Previously, the Tiger Army competed in the martial arts arena outside Bianjing City and defeated the three forbidden armies and the four armies.

Its strong name has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although the Tiger Army has not experienced any major battles, no one denies the fact that they are a strong army.

The appearance of the Tiger Army is a huge variable for Zhao Yuanyan's usurpation, how can Zhao Yuanyan not be angry?

"Wang Qinruo!"

Zhao Yuanyan called Wang Qinruo's name four or five times in a row, but did not get any response.

"Who can tell me where Wang Qinruo is?"

"Official, when Wang Qinruo entered the city, he was still with you, and after entering the city, he disappeared......"

"After the ministers entered the city, they didn't see any trace of Wang Qinruo......"

“……”

Listen to the soldiers under his command gossiping.

Zhao Yuanyan waved the long sword in his hand, slashing and slashing indiscriminately, and his angry voice spread all over Xinsong Street, "Wang Qinruo, you traitor!" It has to be you! You must have betrayed me! I want to punish your nine clans! ”

Li Yan stumbled to Zhao Yuanyan's side, hugged the crazy Zhao Yuanyan, and shouted: "Official, this is not the time to hold Wang Qinruo accountable.

The top priority was to capture the Song Gate.

Once we capture the Song Gate, we will be able to fight all the way to the foot of the Imperial City.

As long as you enter the imperial city again and kill Zhao Zhen, you will be a righteous Song official.

When the time comes, it will not be too late to send someone to kill Wang Qinruo, a thief. ”

Zhao Yuanyan suppressed the anger in his heart under Li Xuan's admonition, gritted his teeth and said: "You are right, after I ascend the throne, there will be no place for Wang Qinruo in this world. ”

"Dog thief! You wait for me! ”

Zhao Yuanyan used an angry roar to vent the anger in his heart.

Then he turned his head and stared at Song Gate, and roared angrily: "The one who enters the imperial city first!" Crowned king! ”

Zhao Yuanyan is crazy.

The soldiers around him also went crazy.

In order to get the throne, Zhao Yuanyan violated the rule set by his ancestors that a different surname would not be crowned king.

The soldiers saw the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step and extend the blessing of three generations.

Under the so-called heavy reward, there must be brave men.

Zhao Yuanyan drove the soldiers at the cost of the throne.

The soldiers should fight for their lives.

The crazy rebels, looking at the heads of every soldier defending the city, it is like looking at the pillars under their feet.

That was the pillar that laid the foundation for their kingship.

The surging offensive has become even more turbulent.

The Song Gate was beaten by the rebels' blows and became dilapidated.

The defenders at the head of the city are dwindling at a rate visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, human life has become thinner than grass mustard.

"Bang!"

The Song Gate is broken.

Under the hammering of the siege chisels pushed by the rebels, a large gap appeared.

The rebels used their long knives to cut the gap even wider.

When the rebels appeared in the inner city along the gap, the gates were completely opened.

Just when the Song Gate in the inner city was breached.

Inside the Royal Palace.

The gate of the vertical arched hall.

was also led by Liu E and Yan Shu and Xia Zhu to push away arrogantly.

The guards of the imperial avant-garde who blocked the door of the vertical arch hall, when they faced Liu E walking quickly, could only put away their external blades and make way for Liu E to enter it.

Liu E stepped into the vertical arch hall and saw Zhao Zhen sitting on the dragon chair with a frown.

Kou Zhun dozed off on the beauty couch at the foot of the imperial stairs.

The few remaining important ministers in Bianjing City were all sitting restlessly in the palace.

Liu E glanced at Kou Zhun who was lying where he was sleeping in disgust, and quickly walked in front of Zhao Zhen under the support of Xia Zhu and Yan Shu.

Those few important ministers hurriedly got up and saluted Liu E.

Liu E didn't bother to deal with them, but stared at Zhao Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Official, Zhao Yuanyan has rebelled!" ”

Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "I know ......"

Liu E said: "The top priority at the moment is to dispatch the Japanese and Tianwu armies into Beijing as soon as possible to suppress the rebellion. ”

Zhao Zhen put down the hand that was rubbing his eyebrows, stared at Liu E, and sighed: "Big Lady, I have already sent someone to Tianwu and the Japanese army to pass the decree......

"It's not enough!"

Liu E said loudly.

Zhao Zhen sat up straight, stared at Liu E, and asked seriously, "What does the eldest lady want?" ”

Liu E was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly.

Zhao Zhen's tone made her feel particularly uncomfortable to listen to.

In Zhao Zhen's tone, she heard Wen anger and blame.

But Liu E didn't care about this matter.

Liu E said bluntly: "Now that there is a shortage of soldiers in Bianjing City, the manpower sent by the official family may not be able to convey the will to the Tianwu and Japanese armies in time. ”

Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart.

Now, no matter how stupid he is, he understands the reason why Liu E didn't tell him Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion before.

It is nothing more than an attempt to take advantage of this to wrest power from him.

Walk back to the court.

Zhao Zhen really wanted to question Liu E: Auntie, in your heart, is power more important than me?

But Zhao Zhen didn't ask.

Instead, he followed Liu E's words and said, "So...... Is there any way for the eldest lady to pass the order as soon as possible? ”

Liu E immediately said: "When I was mourning the country, I saw several times the prison army of the Japanese and Tianwu armies, as well as the Marquis Yu in the Japanese and Tianwu armies. After Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion before, the mourning family saw them a few more times.

The mourning family once had an agreement with them.

If one day, if something like Zhou Huaizheng's rebellion happens, the mourning family will not have time to send an order to them, so they will use the medicine puppet of the Golden Light Buddha as the name and order them to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion.

The mourning family didn't expect that a casual remark in the past has now become a talisman for the Baoguan family.

There is a medicine puppet of the Golden Buddha hidden in the palace of the mourning family, and the official family is also asked to hand over the jade talisman to the mourning family, and the mourning family will transfer troops into Beijing. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, secretly gritted his teeth, looked sideways at Kou Zhun, and asked in a low voice: "Kou Aiqing, do you think I should agree to the Queen Mother?" ”

When Liu E heard this, a cold light flashed in her eyes and looked at Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun didn't even open his eyes, and said lightly: "The official family, the old minister has already begged for bones, he shouldn't ask about such a major political matter, such a major matter, the official family should discuss it with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military." ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Kou Zhun complainingly.

With an inquiring gaze, it fell on the few important ministers in the vertical arch hall.

"What do you think?"

Immediately.

Yan Shu took the lead and said, "Official, time waits for no one." Now if we wait a little longer, there will be one more threat to the safety of the official family. ”

Xia Zhu took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Official, the rebellion of the Eighth King Zhao Yuanyan is a first-class event. Official, you have not long ascended the throne, and it is inevitable that you will be a little unable to deal with such a major event.

This matter is still left to the mother, so it is appropriate.

Niangniang has been in charge of the country for many years, and none of the political affairs she has handled have been negligent.

It can be seen that in dealing with political affairs, Niangniang is far better than the official family. ”

Xia Zhu's words gave a hint to those important ministers who were full of panic.

hinted at the important ministers, Zhao Zhen is young and difficult to preside over the overall situation.

And Liu E has been in charge of the country for many years, and has made quite a lot of achievements, and when she is in danger, she can just get an overview of the overall situation.
