Chapter 459: Battle of the Imperial City!
"Bang ......"
In the fierce chirping of birds, Li Laiheng was full of swearing, but he ran faster than a rabbit, and the half-grown children in the doll camp around him were all at the level of professional athletes, and after leaving more than 100 corpses, they rushed into the block in the blink of an eye while scolding and disappeared.
"This little bunny!"
Xu Changqing took a sip angrily, only slightly stunned, this kid had already run away, and it was impossible to let people go over to bag.
Xu Changqing didn't know Li Laiheng's true identity at this time, but he liked this kid at a glance, he was clever, to be precise, he was a 'thief'!
This is a kind of innate literacy, or 'understanding', no matter how hard you work to cultivate the day after tomorrow, it would be good to have three or two points, if it takes time, it is definitely a first-class general.
The times make heroes.
Even Xu Changqing can't deny that in the late Ming Dynasty, the generals from the Wandering People's Army were far better than the official army by ten times and a hundred times.
"General Hong, go, you press to the southern line, stand behind Wang Anshan, and support at any time! Zhao Zengjin, immediately contact the guards inside and ask them to open the door immediately! β
"Yes!"
At this critical time, Xu Changqing didn't have time to spare his talents, and after glancing at the overall situation, he simply gave the order.
With the loud shouts of Zhao Zengjin, Red Lady and others, countless red figures around them quickly moved and began to spread out.
Although Li Laiheng and they did not have horses, and they fled to the northern front, they would definitely not be able to send the news back to the wandering army in a short time, but there are too many places with horses in the capital, according to Li Laiheng's cleverness, I am afraid that they will be able to find the horse in a moment and send the news back.
At this time, time is life, and Xu Changqing doesn't dare to waste a penny!
"Open the city gate quickly, we are a model army under the command of Uncle Zhongyi!"
Soon, there were already Erlang who directly crossed the moat with arms and came to Dong'an Gate to shout.
The defenders of Dong'anmen actually saw the model army a long time ago, but they hesitated for a while, and did not dare to open the city gate, after all, the stakes are too big at this time, there are not many of them, only one or two hundred, no tall ones are in front, and there is no direct order from the palace, who dares to take this responsibility indiscriminately?
"Commander, attack! If you have such an ink, I'm afraid that the Chengtian Gate will be lost! β
Zhao Zengjin was already in a hurry, carrying his super mace more than two meters long, and was about to rush forward.
Xu Changqing just wanted to nod, but suddenly caught something, and after a moment, he shook his head directly and said, "You panic!" Keep calling the door! β
"This ......"
Zhao Zengjin almost wanted to vomit blood, but Xu Changqing had already spoken, so he could only accept it, and sent his anger to the sons and soldiers on duty in front of him.
Minutes and seconds passed.
In the blink of an eye, three or four minutes have passed, but the defenders of Dong'anmen are still entangled and dare not open the door casually, and in the direction of the southern line, Wang Anshan's department and the Red Lady's department have already connected with people one after another.
Xu Changqing also saw sweat on his forehead at this time, and his palms were full of sweat!
At this point, time is of the essence!
However, for many reasons, Xu Changqing could not enter the imperial city at the first time......
I was even very grateful to these Dong'anmen defenders for blocking the road......
This may seem extremely contradictory and illogical, but this is a living, bloody reality!
In fact, life is like this, how can it be black and white?
More, fifty percent, sixty percent, and even seventy percent, eighty percent of things, belong to the gray area in the middle......
People are too straightforward in everything, no matter men or women, no matter how high or low they are, they are destined to not go far.
You can't rush in now and rescue Emperor Chongzhen all the way out, so what's the point?
In the midst of the chaos, another few minutes flew by, and there was a sudden noise in Dong'anmen.
"Squeak-"
In a moment, the majestic and majestic city gate was suddenly opened, and a thousand households of the forbidden army rushed out and shouted: "Uncle Zhongyi, Uncle Zhongyi, the emperor has issued an edict to summon you to enter the palace immediately!" Also, the Chengtianmen side can't stand it anymore, and there are thieves who have come in, please go and help......"
Xu Changqing had long expected that Chengtianmen was destined not to be defended for too long, the terrain over there was too wide and too flat, and there were not many guards in the palace, and they were all honor guards, a group of war scum, and it was already amazing to be able to stand up to now.
"Brethren of the Model Army, have you all heard? The emperor has already sent an edict, everyone will immediately follow me into the imperial city to protect the emperor! β
"Enter the Imperial City and protect the Emperor!"
"Fight into the Imperial City and protect the Emperor's ......"
Xu Changqing was still not in a hurry, but first shouted a few brainless slogans to bring up the morale of the children around him, which was to lead people into the imperial city step by step.
Immediately, the troops were divided again, and Zhao Zengjin's adjutant took five or six hundred people to Chengtianmen to check the situation.
It's not that Xu Changqing doesn't want Zhao Zengjin to pass, it's mainly that even if this guy has a lot of better brains now, it's still far from enough, Xu Changqing is really afraid that he will go over to play with his life as soon as he sees the thief, this is an embroidery fine needlework!
After entering the imperial city, Xu Changqing also deliberately suppressed the advance speed of the team, which was known as ensuring the integrity of the team.
The main thing is that Xu Changqing is already familiar with the terrain of the imperial city.
Chengtianmen is the main gate, and it is the outer palace that rushes in, and even if there are not many guards inside, it is enough for them to run for a while, and at this point in time, the inner palace will have more time to defend.
And Xu Changqing walked through Dong'an Gate here, not far from Donghua Gate in the past, and he could directly cut into the inner palace, whether in time or space, he was much more generous than the Wandering Army.
Therefore, Xu Changqing must 'wait'!
In this deliberate ink, when Xu Changqing and his party arrived outside the Donghua Gate, there was already a fierce shouting of killing in the west direction.
Li Qilang had just negotiated with the defenders of Donghua Gate and asked them to open the city gate, when a tyrannical cheer suddenly came from the west, and the thieves had already broken through the inner palace!
"Evergreen, evergreen, quick, go and protect the emperor......"
At this time, Wang Chengen rushed out, tears raged, and beckoned Xu Changqing to rescue the driver.
Xu Changqing didn't expect Wang Chengen to come over to greet him in person, but at this time, he also knew it.
Not far behind the Imperial Palace, there is the Palace of Nourishing Heart, which is the primary building of the Inner Palace, and the main force of the thieves rushed into the Inner Palace, and the first target could never be anywhere else.
Xu Changqing immediately shouted: "Sons and daughters of the model army, quick, follow me to protect the emperor!" β
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Protect the Emperor's ......"
Soon, the red torrent of thirteen or four hundred around Xu Changqing quickly entered the Donghua Gate and rushed directly in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Not surprisingly, when Xu Changqing and his entourage rushed to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Palace, here, the corpses of the forbidden army on duty and the thieves were all over the place, and the blood flowed like a river.
However, although these forbidden new troops are also brave, they are not at all the opponents of the elite of the demoralized exile army.
"Brothers of the forbidden army, don't be afraid, I am Xu Changqing, the loyal and righteous uncle, everyone shoulder to shoulder, protect the emperor!"
Wang Chengen seems to have disrupted Xu Changqing's plan here, but this will definitely not be difficult for Xu Changqing, even if he gathers enough energy, he will come to his throat fiercely!
The vanguard of the Wandering People's Army not far away was Hao Shaoqi and Li Shuangxi, as soon as he heard Xu Changqing report to his home, Li Shuangxi's eyes immediately turned red, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers of the righteous army, Xu Changqing of the dog day is there, fuck it!" β
"Fuck it!"
"Capture Xu Changqing alive!"
"Kill Xu Changqing......"
Originally, their morale was high, but this time, Xu Changqing successfully provoked hatred and rushed towards the model army like a flood.
Xu Changqing hurriedly commanded the battle, and at the same time beckoned Wang Chengen and said: "Prince, the thieves are powerful, you go and greet the emperor first, and when I kill the thieves, let's break through immediately!" β
"Uh, good!"
Wang Chengen's heart was already in chaos at this time, a mess, and he didn't suspect him at all, so he hurriedly rushed into the Heart Cultivation Hall and went to greet Emperor Chongzhen first.
"Bang ......"
"Boom!"
In a moment, the battle near the Heart Cultivation Hall became more and more intense.
The quality of these elite veteran battalion soldiers of the exile army is still very high, and the equipment is also fully live, in the case that there is not much cover on both sides, they rely on the advantage of numbers, and they do not fall behind the model army, and their morale is too high at this time, like a mad dog, Rao is Xu Changqing has been prepared, and the model army is still defeated.
In the blink of an eye, there were at least hundreds of model soldiers, and the corpses were on the spot.
Although the Wandering Army had more corpses falling, it couldn't resist their follow-up power, which was too strong, and countless figures continued to rush into the inner palace like a tide.
Think about it too.
After fighting for a lifetime, it has come to an end at this time, as long as the shell of Xu Changqing is opened, inside is the palace of the emperor Lao'er, with countless concubines, concubines, palace maids who can't be dreamed of on weekdays, which man with a handle can not be excited?
"Master Liu!"
"Liu Ye ......"
During the rush, several strong chess players rushed in first, and several generals of the surrounding homeless army hurriedly came over to salute.
Li Shuangxi, who was a little red-eyed, was also informed by his subordinates, and hurriedly came over to say hello to the visitor, "Uncle Liu, there is Xu Changqing in front, and it is really a little prickly!" But there aren't many of them, so if we work harder, we'll be able to kill them! β
The person who came was Liu Fangliang!
As soon as Liu Fangliang saw the magnificent and magnificent Forbidden City not far away, he was also a little red-eyed, and he suddenly pulled out the treasure knife on his waist and shouted: "Children, give it to the forehead, destroy Xu Changqing, everyone has a share in the palace maid's property in this palace!" β
"Oh-"
"Kill Xu Changqing!"
"Grab a palace maid as a wife!"
"Kill!"
The momentum of the Wandering People's Army reached a climax again, and against the backdrop of falling fine snowflakes, they were like a swarm of man-eating ants that were not afraid of death.
But the model army doesn't have much to concede!
Accompanied by Xu Changqing, he took the lead in shouting, "Protect the emperor!" β
The surrounding noise rose in a moment.
"Protect the Emperor!"
"Protect the Emperor's ......"
"I'm so brightβ"
"My model army is victorious!!"
"Wansheng ......"
In the midst of countless voices and waves, the firearms of the model army gradually began to exert their power, and the bird guns of the model army, whether it was the filling speed, accuracy, or the range and power of the bird guns, were far ahead of the wandering army.
In just seven or eight minutes, the Wandering People's Army left at least five or six hundred corpses in this space.
But still no one backed down!
At this time, even if you die here, no one will retreat, and the prospects ahead are too good......
Xu Changqing was also a little anxious at this time.
If it goes on like this, even the model army can't resist this kind of offensive, especially on the West Road, and there is no guarantee that there will be other unruly wandering people's army, and now they will directly enter the inner palace......
This is an absolutely unforgivable thing!
Fortunately, just when Xu Changqing couldn't help but go to Kunning Palace to save people first, Gonggong Zheng finally rushed out, and hurriedly reported to Xu Changqing in fear: "Uncle, what's the situation, the emperor is already in a hurry......"
Xu Changqing glanced at him, wiped the sweat on his forehead violently and said, "The situation is very critical, but don't worry about it for the time being!" Zheng Ye, I will give you 200 people, and you will immediately go to Kunning Palace and East Palace to save people! Be sure to let the emperor have no worries! When the thieves are repelled here and the emperor is rescued, let's retreat immediately! Time is of the essence, understand? β
Gonggong Zheng's pupils couldn't help but dilate suddenly.
Although Xu Changqing's words are high-sounding, how can he not understand the deep meaning of these words? For a while, I felt chills all over my body, and my hairs stood upside down......
But at this time, he had already boarded Xu Changqing's thief ship, so how could there be any way back? Hurriedly wiped away his tears and said, "Uncle Zhongyi, everything is left to you, go!" β
