Chapter 240: Breaking the City

Although the emperor wanted to wait for the prince's reply, he was disappointed, the prince gave him a reply at this time, but it was not what he wanted, "Lone feels that there is nothing wrong with him, but he is just a king and a loser, and there are fewer emperors in history who forced his father to seize the throne, Lone is just defeated, if he succeeds in seizing the throne, Lone is also a generation of Ming Jun." ”

When the emperor heard his answer, he was completely disappointed. The sadness in his eyes was gone, replaced by the coldness of a king. He turned to Jia Ke and ordered: "Immediately attack the city without delay, and let me catch this rebel." ”

Jia Ke got the emperor's order, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered his soldiers to start attacking the city, in fact, it was said to be a siege, but it was just a show, he and Dai Quan had already discussed the code yesterday, as long as Jia Ke attacked the city, his spies in the city would immediately open the city gate. And the cavalry led by Jia Ke rushed into the city, controlled the city gates, and then the army entered the city and wiped out the prince's deployment in one fell swoop.

The soldiers on Jia Ke's side let out an angry roar, and began to rush towards the city wall with various siege equipment ladders, rushing cars, pointed wooden donkeys, and crashing cars, and Jia Ke sent longbowmen at the same time in order to reduce casualties, and the arrows fired by these longbowmen were even farther than the arrows shot down from the city. It can effectively suppress the bows and arrows on the city and reduce its own casualties.

And the other six Jiedu envoys couldn't watch it at this time, so they also sent their own elites to cooperate with Jia Ke to start attacking the city.

When Jia Ke saw that they had sent an elite siege to the city, he began to gather his army, and let the longbowmen cooperate with them under the city, and the rest of the men began to assemble, ready to take the city at any time.

And the military department in the city, Shangshu Huotu, immediately said to the prince: "Now that the soldiers on the city are in danger, please go to the city to hide, and wait until the minister repels the emperor, and then report to the prince." ”

Although the prince has some ability, he has grown up in the deep palace, where has he seen such a scene, and he has already started beating drums in his heart, but he knows that he must not retreat at this critical moment, otherwise the military spirit will be scattered.

"Huo Aiqing, there is no need to be like this, now that it is a critical moment, all the soldiers are fighting bloodily, how can Lone hide behind and disappoint the soldiers."

When the prince had said this, he ordered his guards to join the ranks of the defenders, and he himself stood at the top of the tower so that all the soldiers could see that he had not taken refuge, and that he was still advancing and retreating with them in the city.

Huotu saw that the crown prince was so wise at the last moment, and he also had some confidence that he could defeat the emperor this time.

Huo Tu saw that the prince of Dao had made up his mind, so he began to pay attention to the situation under the city, he had been a military secretary for so many years, and he still had some ability in military affairs, and the Emperor Dao sent people to attack the city and immediately ordered his soldiers to start defending.

So the rolling wood and thunder stones on the city were thrown down like rain, and although the six jiedu envoys under the city had many siege equipment, they lost a lot of damage to this first wave.

At this time, the longbowmen sent by Jia Ke behind them began to exert their strength, and in an instant, 10,000 arrows flew towards the head of the city, and the defenders of the city were hit by this wave of arrows and suffered heavy losses.

These people never imagined that the bow and arrow could fly so far, and they were not at all defenseless, and they did not send heavy crossbows to suppress the English longbow.

At that time, Xie Hu at the head of the city saw this situation and understood that if he didn't suppress these longbowmen, his city would soon be breached.

So Xie Hu came to Huotu's side and said, "My lord, the bows and arrows of those longbowmen can fly extremely long distances, I saw them in the battle with the Tatars a few days ago, and we must suppress them immediately. ”

Hotu thought for a moment, and immediately ordered catapults and heavy crossbows to begin an attack on the English longbowmen, who were so devastated that they had to temporarily retreat to avoid heavier casualties.

At this time, the elite soldiers of the six jiedu envoys under the head of the city began to lose a large number of them. Huo Tu also smiled with satisfaction when he saw this situation, this time the emperor's army would definitely suffer heavy losses, and finally had to retreat, and the two sides finally negotiated and settled.

Just when the two sides were fighting bloodily at the head of the city, not giving in to each other, and each side couldn't help the other, they saw that the Desheng Gate of the Beijing Division was opened with a bang.

As soon as Jia Ke saw this situation, he didn't know where he was that the spies inside had succeeded. It seems that this Dai Quan really has two hits, and he doesn't know when he sent the news.

Now is not the time to think about this, Jia Ke took the 10,000 cavalry that had been prepared a long time ago, and Pegasus went straight to the city gate.

The prince at the head of the city saw that the city gate was opened, and his face was frightened, his original plan was to hold the emperor in Beijing, forcing the emperor to run out of grain and grass, and finally had to agree to his conditions. In this way, at least his life and wealth can be saved, even if the emperor should not be in the end, he can wait until the emperor is sleepy and tired to fight his way out of the siege, and he can spend his life safely in Jiangnan incognito, and even have the opportunity to rise up, with the identity of the crown prince, there is also a day to regain power.

But now the idea is shattered, Jingshi was actually opened by someone, and he was also panicked, not knowing what to do, only to be there in a daze.

At this time, Huo Tu was still relatively soberly aware of the critical situation, and hurriedly said to several generals under the command of Liaodong Jiedu Shi, "You go quickly, lead the men and horses to block the city gate, and drive these people out." ”

But instead of doing what he commanded, the men looked at each other. So they stepped forward together and tied up the prince and Huo Tu, as well as Xie Hu and Zhang Chi.

The crown prince reacted at this time, and scolded them loudly: "You think that if you kidnap me, you will be safe, you have participated in the rebellion, and my father will definitely not spare you." The acquaintance quickly let the lonely go, and then went to block the city gate. We still have a glimmer of life. ”

As a result, one of the generals said: "The prince is too late now. I saw clearly just now that it was Jia Ke who rushed up to grab the city gate, and he also brought countless cavalry, with our martial arts, where could we stop him? For our sake, let us take credit for you to save our lives. ”

Huo Tu was tied up at this time, but he was very unwilling, and said to these generals: "You are just afraid of Jia Ke's martial arts, I don't believe that he has three heads and six arms, and you are afraid that he is not his opponent when you go together?" Wait until you drive them out of the city. After a long time, they will inevitably retreat. And the crown prince can occupy at least half of the country, and you are all the founding fathers of the country. ”

As soon as he said this, he heard someone shouting: "I'm afraid that the adults are a little late in saying these things, if it was not for the siege, they might still listen to you, and it is really ridiculous that you still have these fantasies." ”

The prince and Huo Tu turned their heads to see that Jia Ke had already rushed up to the city tower with his people, and the soldiers at the head of the city had already laid down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to Jia Ke and them.

Seeing this situation, the generals of Liaodong hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down together and said to Jia Ke: "Lord Jia, we don't really want to rebel, we are all under the orders of Xie Hu, the envoy of the festival, and now we have captured the prince and Huo Tu, please the general for the sake of our merits, spare our lives." ”

"Spare your lives, I can't be the master, it depends on what the emperor means." After Jia Ke finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Someone has come and tied up all these people." Wait until later, and send it to the emperor. ”

The soldiers around him immediately swarmed up, tied the generals one by one, and then were taken down, leaving only Jia Ke and a few of his own soldiers near the head.

Jia Ke walked up to the prince and looked at him condescendingly, the prince seemed to have opened up now, glaring at Jia Ke angrily, Jia Ke said to him slowly: "Your Highness, don't blame me." In the end, this world is still the emperor, and His Royal Highness will succeed in the end, and you will be scolded by the world. How many emperors have forced their fathers to usurp the throne from ancient times to the present? His Royal Highness is still too young, I am afraid that he has been bewitched by the deployment, and he will beg in front of the emperor for a while, and the emperor will definitely remember the love of father and son. From the light hair to the fall. ”

The prince was already desperate, thinking that he would definitely die this time, but now listening to Jia Ke Jia Ke's words, he seemed to have found a glimmer of hope, and looked at Jia Ke deeply. didn't say anything else, just gritted his teeth and said, "You are very good, you really deserve to be a descendant of Rongguofu, if it weren't for you, I might have succeeded." ”

Jia Ke replied expressionlessly: "Even if there is no Jia Ke, there are others who are loyal to the emperor." Even if His Highness succeeds, the chaos in the world after that will only damage the vitality of my Central Plains and give the Tatars a chance. The prince did make a mistake this time. ”

When the prince heard him say this, he couldn't help but sneer: "If you don't do this, I'm afraid the end will not be much better." ”

Jia Ke didn't want to discuss this matter with him again, after all, this was a royal matter, and he was not easy to get involved too deeply.

Jia Ke looked back at Huo Tu next to him, now Huo Tu was already embarrassed, the black yarn on his head had disappeared, and the official robe on his body had been torn into a mess. Where is there still the appearance of the great Sima of the dynasty.

Jia Ke hated this Huo Tu more than the others, and if he hadn't killed King Beijing, things wouldn't have come to this point. Moreover, King Beijing took care of him Jia Ke a lot, no matter what he did to others, he was also a kind elder to Jia Ke.

Jia Ke and I ordered my subordinates to take the crown prince and Huo Tu away and imprison them, waiting for the emperor's fate.

After Jia Ke left the city, he ordered the men and horses to begin to clear the army of the Liaodong Jiedu envoy, and outside the city, people from all walks of life also began to enter the city one after another, and it only took one day to control the history of Liaodong Jiedu and the rebellious forbidden army and the infantry army of the Yamen.

At this time, every family in the capital was closed, for fear of the rebellious army breaking in. Jia Ke was worried about the safety of Ning Rong's Second Mansion, so he asked his henchman Ma Zuo to lead a thousand cavalry to protect Ning Rong's Second Mansion to prevent them from being harassed by the rebel army.

It was not until the next morning that all the unrest in the capital subsided, but the army still blocked the nine gates, and no one could enter or leave. The streets are also heavily guarded to prevent rebellion. All officials must stay at home and listen to the emperor's orders.
