438 The defense line of Shouchun City was shattered
Probably because of the inertia of his body, Ji Ling's body was still moving forward, but his head had already fallen from his neck.
The headless corpse continued to take a few steps forward, fell to its knees with a thud, and then fell forward, the head rolling on the ground a few times before moving.
Ji Ling's eyes were still wide open, and his gaze was calm, as if he hadn't expected things to happen.
Of course, without saying a word, it was all over.
At this time, there were only five or six people in the room, and in addition to Yang Hong and Yuan Yao, there were also a few scribes, who were responsible for sorting out the documents.
This scene happened too suddenly, so that they didn't react after Qiao Rui killed Ji Ling with a knife, looking at Ji Ling's corpse and Qiao Rui with a knife, their faces were full of stunned, as if this scene was not terrible, but strange.
Qiao Rui picked up the tea bowl on the table next to him, waved his hand and broke it, taking this as a signal, a scream suddenly sounded outside the house, and several soldiers with knives suddenly rushed into the room and killed the four scribes one by one.
Qiao Rui's face was very hideous, and he quickly stepped forward and kicked the frightened Yuan Yao to the ground, while Yang Hong was pushed to the ground by two soldiers before he could react.
Yuan Yao screamed and was put to his neck by Qiao Rui with a knife, and he couldn't say a word in fear, while Yang Hong yelled and asked Qiao Rui what he was going to do.
"Are you going to rebel? Are you going to rebel?! ”
"I'm just going to rebel!"
Qiao Rui roared angrily at Yang Hong, leaving Yang Hong dumbfounded.
"Yang Gong, see the situation clearly! Shouchun can't be kept! Chen Guo is destined to perish! Yuan Highway wants to pull me to give him a funeral, don't think about it! General Lu is so loyal, and he ended up like that, do you think I would be so stupid to work for him?! ”
Qiao Rui kicked Yuan Yao a few times as if he was angry, kicking Yuan Yao and screaming.
"This idiot doesn't know anything, he knows how to command randomly, there is only one waste, and he dares to point fingers! Is marching and fighting a war child's play?! ”
"Stop! Don't do that! Stop it! ”
Yang Hong watched Yuan Yao being kicked and kicked, his eyes were split, but he was fiercely held down by two soldiers and couldn't move.
"Bridge! You unfaithful and unrighteous man! Betrayed Your Majesty! Betrayal of the state of Chen! ”
"It was he who betrayed the Han first! I'm a Han general, I'm not a traitor! I'm just going back to Dahan! You're the traitor! ”
Qiao Rui stretched out his hand and pointed outside: "We are ready for a surprise, once we capture you, someone will immediately cooperate with me, open the city gate, and welcome the Han Dynasty into the city!" Tonight, it's the end of Yuan Highway! It's the end of Chen! ”
"Bridge! You...... You're ......."
Yang Hong's heart was shocked and furious, a mouthful of blood vomited out, and he lay on the ground unconscious.
And Yuan Yao, the soft egg, shrunk together all over his body, curled up on the ground, and knew how to cry.
Qiao Rui took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Ling's head falling to the ground, as well as the eyes that had lost focus.
"Don't blame me."
He muttered to himself.
Everything is just like what Qiao Rui said, there are spies within the command.
Qiao Rui took advantage of his identity to destroy the command center in one fell swoop, and then raised a fire for Feng Guo, who was in charge of opening the city gate, to see.
Feng Guo saw the signal, was overjoyed, and gave an order, and the mutiny began.
The soldiers who participated in the mutiny suddenly pulled out their knives and slashed at the "comrades-in-arms" beside them, and the soldiers next to them couldn't react, and they were killed a lot in an instant, and there was chaos on the city gate and at the city gate.
Soon, Feng Guo, who had been premeditated, seized the east gate with an absolute advantage, and immediately sent someone to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and then raised a fire.
At this time, under the cover of night, the two cavalry of Zhao Yun and Guo Lie, who had already formed a whole army out of the camp and lined up, noticed the fire signal at the head of the city.
This is the opportunity.
"Rush!"
"Action!"
Zhao Yun and Guo Lie unanimously gave the order to march, and each of them led a cavalry to rush towards the city gate, and the violent momentum broke through the already unquiet night.
Behind Zhao Yun and Guo Lie was the infantry led by Zhang He and Xiahou Yuan, who rushed to the East City Gate after Zhao Yun and Guo Lie.
The defense line of Shouchun City was shattered.
At this time, Yuan Shu didn't know about it, there was still an imperial city separated from the city gate to the palace, Yuan Shu set the capital of Shouchun, and sent people to strengthen the original inner city on the basis of the imperial city.
The outer city wall is a section of garrison, and the inner imperial city is a section of garrison, there are several towers in the imperial city, guarding the imperial city is Yuan Shu's Yulin army, the number is about three thousand, all of them are composed of veterans who followed Yuan Shu's southern expedition and northern war as the backbone, and the elite degree is naturally not comparable to the militia.
In addition, there is the Tiger Army, the number of the Tiger Army is about 2,000 people, and the treatment is the same as that of the Yulin Army, but because the Tiger Army is the emperor's personal soldiers selected from the army after Yuan Shu became the emperor, the degree of closeness is not as good as the Yulin Army.
This force of 5,000 people was Yuan Shu's last lifeline.
The Northern Expedition set out, and the five thousand elites followed back with three thousand.
This time to defend the city, because the troops were too tight, Lu Mian sent a thousand people out of it, after Lu Mian was taken, Yuan Yao defended the city, in order to protect his safety, Yuan Shu sent another 200 Lin army to Yuan Yao to protect him.
As a result, because of the tense war, the elites of the Yulin Army and the Tiger Ben Army were pulled up to defend the city, and Lu Mian and Yuan Yao did not have a strong escort force around them, which gave Qiao Rui a chance to kill with one blow.
At present, Yuan Shu lives in the deep palace, and there are only 1,800 guards left around him, plus the guards and chamberlains in shifts, etc., a total of about 2,500 troops can guard the imperial city.
When Zhao Yun and Guo Lie's cavalry rushed into the city to slaughter all directions, Yuan Shu was still taking medicine and drinking porridge under the service of two nobles.
The imperial doctor suggested that Yuan Shu use light porridge to maintain health, slowly nourish the body, not overnight, Yuan Shu also knew that the body was important, and did not dare to disobey the doctor's instructions, so he patiently took medicine and drank porridge.
The war outside is once a day, and the rest of the time is to lie in bed and rest, not to mention whether you can fall asleep, at least it is good to lie down and close your eyes and recuperate.
After eating the medicine and drinking the porridge here, Yuan Shu was preparing to rest under the service of the nobles, but he vaguely heard a commotion, and just as he felt strange, someone hurriedly came to report that an extremely fierce battle broke out at the gate of the East City.
Someone opened the gate of Dongcheng, and Guo Peng's army had already entered the city and began to wreak havoc!
Yuan Shu was stunned on the spot, one of the two nobles was holding a plate in his hand, and when he heard this, his hands were loosened, the plate fell to the ground, and the delicate jade bowl cracked.
"How so? What the hell is going on? Why would anyone open the city gates?! ”
Yuan Shu didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly lifted the quilt and got off the bed, grabbed the collar of the herald's chamberlain, and widened his eyes, with an extremely angry and panicked look on his face.
