Due to the speed with which Baili Yan solved the case, Gongsun Yue was in a hurry, and the booby trap strategy to deal with the Prince's Mansion and the Liang Guogong Soldiers' and Horses' Mansion had not yet been put in place.

After King Xian was besieged, the situation was not very good, Gongsun Yue sent people to persuade him to surrender three times in a row, Jiang Hai refused to surrender three times, and Gongsun Yue came to apologize in person.

Of course, Gongsun Yue will not fall for the King of Xian, so Gongsun Yue has no reason to rebel, and the only valid excuse is the words "become the king and defeat the king". To put it bluntly, it is who has the ability to be the king, and the loser has no capital to negotiate conditions.

Gongsun Yue's rapid rebellion was something that King Xian never expected, let alone that Uncle Guang would be able to stumble, and he didn't calculate that Gongsun Yue would be the internal response of the Black Turban Army.

And after lurking for so many years, he has been in the position of Xiangguo, and suddenly he has become an opponent in a life-and-death fight, even if King Xian is open-minded, the impact of this incident itself on his heart is undoubtedly huge.

There was a serious shortage of food in the harem and the temple, and there was no food at dusk, and Gongsun Yue's tactics of besieging but not attacking gradually showed its power, and nearly 10,000 forbidden troops were hungry and hungry, and continued to drag on until tomorrow, and the signs of self-defeat without a fight were already very obvious.

"King, the south of the city is almost unfortunate, let's break through!"

Luan Chong pleaded, but King Xian flatly refused:

"The widow will never be the king of the country, even if he dies, he must die in the temple."

This is the seventh time that Jiang Hai has rejected Luan Chong's suggestion, first, he can't believe Luan Chong, and the rebels are all county soldiers from the Sima Mansion of the city government, who knows if he has secretly colluded with Gongsun Yue, what if this is a plan.

Second, there are so many women behind him, King Xian enjoys all the womanhood, where is he willing to leave his daughter, even if he dies, he has to be a merry ghost, Gongsun Yue has followed King Xian for many years, it is precisely the temperament of King Xian, it is expected that he will not be completely desperate, and he will definitely not preemptively make a desperate bet.

Third, King Xian was still imagining that Zhao Xun could come to the rescue, as long as he held on for a day or two, Zhao Xun would definitely be able to attack the city. If you break through at this time, it is difficult to say that you can rush out on the road.

The fire in the south of the city is getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of killing is becoming more and more deafening, and the Xuanting Hou who entered the palace early in the morning to guard the soul is as pale as dirt, listlessly huddled in a corner of the main hall, living like a miser, in fact, everyone is thinking about how to survive at this time, but Xuanting Hou Qiao Lian and his son Qiao Cheng, at this moment, the most reassuring thing is not their own small life, but the family's wealth.

At the same time, the most nesting fire, but also the most nesty can count the crown princess Xihuan, the dignified princess of the Jin Kingdom, even the queen did not sit on, she was going to die in the chaos, this is probably the most embarrassing and nestish princess in the history of the Jin Kingdom, if it were not for the Xian King still alive, at this time Xihuan hated not to usurp power and seize the throne, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces of the Xian Kingdom were all down.

In the second half of the night, the killing sound in the south of the city reached a climax, and there was still no movement outside the city. At this time, King Xian considered more Ye Xin's 20,000 horses and horses should have arrived in Chenling, but why not attack the city.

There was no fighting in the south of the city before dark, and it is reasonable to say, even after dark, the 20,000 horses and horses of Ye Xin's department may not have arrived in Chenling, which is understandable, but now they have been killed for half a night, even pigs, and they should know that there has been a mutiny in the city, has Ye Xin's department not arrived in Chenling? It's been a day.

"Marquis Dingyang, how long does it take for the cavalry to arrive from the Yongxing River to the Lingling?" King Xian asked.

"Back to the king, if you are galloping alone, you should arrive in three or two hours, and if you are a large cavalry rush, you should be able to arrive in four hours. If Ye Xin's department set off before dawn, they would be able to rush to Chenling at noon. ”

"Then why didn't he delay the siege?"

"This ...... The thief Gongsun Yue should have falsely passed on the king's order and made him return to the Yongxing River. ”

"But the widow's edict to Zhao Xun is to enter the city at all costs to escort him, and no one can stop him without the widow's edict, doesn't Ye Xin know!"

"This ......" Ding Yanghou was speechless, he wanted to comfort King Xian, but when it came to this, he had nothing to say.

Ye Xin was outside the city at this time, the huge fire and the earth-shattering sound of killing, of course he knew that something had happened in the city, how could 20,000 cavalry attack the fortified city of Qiling, which was dozens of miles long, it was simply a fantasy.

King Xian doesn't understand military affairs, but Marquis Ding Yang understands common sense, King Xian has already said this, what else can he say.

20,000 cavalry, without any preparation of war equipment, to attack a fortified city with a siege of dozens of miles, let alone besieging the city on all sides, 20,000 horses spread evenly on a city wall is enough, rash siege of the city is no different from looking for death.

The battle of Duyang that year, the Marquis of Ding Yang still remembers it vividly, but more than 100,000 horses besieged a city wall with a length of only a few miles, and failed to capture it for more than half a year, where can Ye Xin's 20,000 horses be expected to besiege the capital.

Ye Xin was in the west of the city at this time three miles outside the boundary, in the first half of the night there was a fire in the south of the city, and then the scouts came to the south of the city to kill the news, Ye Xin clearly knew that there was a mutiny in the city, but Gongsun Yue bullied his 20,000 cavalry lightly armed nothing, not even the ladder can be done, can only do the fire in a hurry.

The generals are anxious, how can it be difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

"Metropolitan Governor, Zhao Shuai's military order has not been delayed, and our army can't sit still." Gu Zhong said.

"Then General Gu will take the men and horses to attack the city to see, if the city is captured, the governor of Pontus will give you credit."

Ye Xin choked back, and Gu Zhong was speechless. Ye Xin said sharply at this time:

"Whoever has a head that is not fleshy, if it is really made of copper and iron, Pontus will be the first to fill it."

Ye Xin was also in a hurry, it was not one or two people who proposed to attack the city, he wanted to attack it himself, but could he do it, no, he couldn't fight at all. The wall alone is three zhang high, and there is a moat, and if you don't wait to cross the moat, you will have to suffer heavy casualties.

After a while, Ye Xin looked at Xu Jin:

"General Xu, can there be news from Gao Pei and Zhong Heng?"

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, I came three times in a row after dark, and all of them were Liang Jun asking about the situation in the city."

"Damn, the two of them are also rice buckets!" Ye Xin couldn't help but curse Gao Pei and Zhong Heng, who were at the same level as him: "When is this, haven't the two of them made it clear to Liang Jun?" ”

"Back to the Metropolitan Governor, Gao Pei sent people to say that the Liang army had been peaceful for a long time, and the whole army had almost no combat experience, and they were still half-convinced of the Chenling Mutiny, and they were deeply afraid that our army would transfer them to the front line to fight. And ......"

"And what?"

Liang Jun said that even if there was a mutiny, the rebels of the Xian army did not have the courage to attack An Taihou. Xianguo also relied on the 100,000 troops of Liang to resist the Black Turban rebels, so the Liang army was now fearless and did not worry about the life of An Taihou. ”

"Bastard!" Ye Xin scolded fiercely.

The mentality of the Liang army is that it is not about itself, anyway, it is a rebellion within the Xian State, no matter who finally sits on the throne, and in the end, the Liang State will still be canonized, so there is almost no worry that the rebels will dare to attack the Liang State Legation. Gongsun Yue precisely figured out the mentality of the Liang army and delayed the pace of the Liang army's actions.

Just when the generals were helpless, a horse galloped in the distance:

"Report, report to the Governor, Zhao Shuai is in a hurry!"

The scout almost didn't have time to stop the war horse, and one flew off the horse and rushed to Ye Xin with a rolling belt.

"Quick, show me!"

The scout took out the urgent letter and handed it over, Ye Xin opened it and looked at it, his heart was immediately settled, and he immediately said to the generals:

"General Xiao Qu!"

"The last general!"

"Quickly order people to prepare equipment for crossing the river overnight, and as soon as Zhao Shuai's reinforcements arrive tomorrow, they will immediately attack the city."

"Metropolitan Governor, Zhao Shuai really wants to draw troops from the Yongxing River to besiege the city?" Xiao Qu asked boldly.

"No, only the remaining 20,000 or so horsemen will be dispatched to transport the calcium carbide."

Zhao Xun didn't dare to send a large army to rescue the city at this moment, and only mobilized 20,000 miscellaneous horsemen to transport the captured calcium carbide to the city, Ye Xin only needed to transport the calcium carbide across the moat, pile it under the city gate, splash water and set fire to the gate, and easily capture the city gate, without having to go to the city to fight bloody.

Although it is necessary to risk failure to cross the river, it is also the only way to break the city quickly at the moment, and Zhao Xun needs to buy time to rearm the defense, which is better than doing nothing.

In the second half of the night, the fighting continued in the south of the city, and the fire in the east of the city was under control, but the southwest wind blew in the hell, and the fire burned all the way to the northeast, and the fire reached the point where it was beyond human control.

After Bai Liyan successfully broke through from the west gate of the Minister's Mansion, the road was not smooth. From the west gate, you have to detour to the prince's mansion on the east side, and there are only two options: north and south.

The rebel army besieging the legation had increased sharply from 1,000 officers and 2,000 militia after dark to 3,000 officers and 2,000 militia, including 2,000 archers, most of whom were drawn from the walls of the north gate of the city.

The north of the city is the closest to the north gate of the palace, and Gongsun Yue has surrounded the palace and mobilized the archers of the north gate nearby, obviously not worried about the defenders of the north gate of the city.

In this way, most of the 2,000 archers of this new tune are holding the south gate of the Minister's Palace, and the rest are concentrated in the north gate and the east gate, which is also the main reason why Bailiyan chose the west gate to break through.

The reason why the rebels are attacking the south gate of the Minister's Mansion is very important is that the palace is sitting in the north and facing the south, so the south gate is the main gate, and the main gate is big again.

In addition, the east gate is second only to the south gate, and the courtyard is also relatively wide. The north gate is the back door, and there is also a separate backyard gate for easy access, only the west gate is not in the flow at the moment, and it is regarded as an indecent and unorthodox side door, so the west gate is a side door.

The West Gate Court was small, a very common double-door wooden gate, so it was very difficult to enter and exit from it in large numbers, and the defenders surrounding the west gate were the fewest and there were no crossbowmen. Therefore, Baili Yan personally led the young man wearing chain mail to kill the way from the west gate first.

After opening the gap, Wu Deng's command and his Liang army totaled 600 people rushed into the gap to expand the breakthrough area.

The reason is also very simple, there are only more than 1,000 rebels blocking the north gate of the Legation's Palace, while there are nearly 3,000 rebels blocking the south gate.

But it's not entirely worry-free to go north, which means a farther detour and a closer detour to the south. It will not take more than two miles to take the detour from the south to the East Street Prince's Mansion, and it will take almost four miles to take the northern detour.
