Chapter 827: The Change of Seizing the Door (9)
When Cao Jixiang was about to launch an attack on the Qianqing Palace, and Chen Xiang was searching for Zhu Qizhen in the South Palace, a group of more than 2,000 elite people in the Beijing camp was rushing towards the palace at full speed.
The elite of the Beijing camp led by Shi Biao had already joined forces with the people of Jinyi Wei at this time, and ran quickly on the empty streets of Beijing. If it was daytime, if you wanted to reach the palace from the Zhenfu Division in Dongcheng, it would take you an hour or two. But now it is late at night, and there are no obstacles on the road, and they are almost unimpeded to go with all their might.
Of course, along the way, I also encountered several Beijing soldiers and horses who had been ordered to block the main roads of the city and not let any officials and people go out. But when they met Shi Biao, they couldn't forcibly stop it. After all, his identity is here, he is Shi Heng's cronies, and even more so his nephew, who would doubt that he has betrayed his uncle?
Not only did no one obstruct him, but even several passers-by listened to Shi Biao say that after he was ordered by Shi Heng to go to the palace to rescue the driver, they followed him with great confidence and killed the palace together. In the final analysis, these Jingying soldiers are still loyal to the royal family and the Son of Heaven, and before Shi Heng was able to let them become the help of his rebellion, he also acted under the pretense of the will of the Son of Heaven.
As a result, in less than an hour, the team had already rushed to the palace, and then was stopped by the forbidden army guarding the palace gate.
While leading his troops to cooperate with Cao Jixiang to launch a mutiny in the palace, Chen Xiang also asked his henchmen to lead troops to guard the palace gate and prevent anyone from ruining his own good deeds. At this time, the general of the forbidden army named Ren Xian stood upright on the palace wall and shouted to the army below: "How can you approach the palace at will? If you don't retreat quickly, or you will be punished for a great disrespectful felony!" β
As soon as Shi Biao heard this, he asked someone to light a torch so that everyone above could see his appearance clearly, and then he said loudly: "You can open your eyes and see clearly, this will be Shi Biao, I came to the palace to quell the chaos on the order of Shi Heng, the commander of the Beijing camp, but I am not an idle person." He was a little vague in his words, and he didn't make it clear which side he was really dealing with.
But Ren Xian above still replied with a stubborn erection: "The general we received earlier is that no matter who you are tonight, you will not be allowed to enter the palace. General Shi, you are the same. So don't waste any more effort, let's retreat quickly. β
"You ......" Seeing that the other party was so oily and salty, Shi Biao was naturally annoyed. But before he could reprimand, Ren Xian actually gave another order: "Where are the archers?" I aimed at the following, as long as anyone dares to do wrong, they will be punished as rebellious, and they will be shot directly! β
In a burst of answers, a cold light suddenly appeared on the palace wall, which was the light reflected by the arrows after reflecting the firelight. Seeing that the other party had set up such a battle, Shi Biao was completely out of line.
The palace walls of the Forbidden City are much taller and stronger than the Qianqing Palace inside, and they are not even much lower than the walls of the outer city of Beijing. Relying only on their thousands of men, it would be extremely difficult to forcibly attack here.
At the same time, there was already a faint sound of killing in the palace, and when I stood far away and looked inside, I could even see a little fire moving in it. Seeing this scene, Shi Biao, Yang Zhen and the others naturally felt more anxious in their hearts, those guys really launched a rebellion, but they were still blocked from the palace gate and couldn't enter, but what should they do?
Shi Biao knew very well that by this time, he had completely betrayed Shi Heng, and if he wanted to succeed, he could only go all the way to the dark and help the emperor put down this rebellion. The thought turned, and he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and made a bold decision-
I saw him raise his head suddenly, and pointed at Ren Xian with his hand: "The general understands, now there are people in the palace who are in rebellion, and you, as a general of the forbidden army, not only do not think about saving the driver, but are here to prevent us from entering the palace to save the driver, you must be the accomplice of those traitors." Brothers, we will receive the emperor's favor in this world, and we must not sit idly by and watch the poisonous plans of such traitors succeed. Everyone follow me, go to the palace, and protect Your Majesty! β
As soon as these words came out, it proved that Shi Biao had completely left no way back for himself. When those soldiers of the Beijing camp heard this, they all perked up, and they reprimanded angrily, and they set up a formation, wanting to launch a strong attack on this palace.
Faced with this scene, although Ren Xian was apprehensive for a while, his face was still calm, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Shi Biao, don't bewitch the people here, I think you are the one who wants to rebel." I'm ready, as long as they dare to attack, they don't have to worry about anything, it's our duty to defend the palace walls!" β
Seeing this, Shi Biao knew that there was only one way left now, so he suddenly pulled out the saber on his waist and shouted: "Brother, prepare to attack the city!" As he spoke, his knife swung downward. As soon as the knife fell, it was the time for these men and horses to attack the palace.
At this moment, one person pressed his shoulder: "General Shi, please don't be impatient." Shi Biao turned around a little unexpectedly, and saw Yang Zhen standing behind him, staring at the palace wall with a pair of eyes: "Let's wait a little longer." β
"It's all now, what are you waiting for? Don't you hear that there's been a killing inside? If we don't hurry in to support, I'm afraid that the emperor may not be able to support it. Shi Biao replied anxiously. Now that he has made his choice, he naturally wants to do his best to save the day, even if he is about to launch a strong attack on the palace because of this.
"Of course the lower officials know, but if you want to enter the palace to save the driver, it is not only a strong attack, we have other ways." Yang Zhen said calmly.
"Do you mean to turn to the other palace gates on the side? Is it too late? Shi Biao asked with some disbelief: "And the other sects should have been guarded against a few others, and they are no different from here." β
"No, we'll enter the palace from here, but not by force." Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes and stared at the palace wall with many figures above: "I think it should be about the same." β
"What does that mean?" Shi Biao asked a little confused.
On the palace wall in front, Ren Xianzheng was extremely nervous looking at the movements of the thousands of people below. He only has less than 500 people here, but he has to guard a palace gate and palace wall, which is actually quite difficult. Don't look at his tough tone, in fact, he doesn't have much confidence in his heart, so he can only keep talking, cheering himself and his subordinates: "Don't worry, this point of men and horses will never be attacked, they don't even have the equipment to attack the city." β
"That's what the general said." One of the subordinate soldiers nodded in agreement, and at the same time came closer: "But I think we can still use some means to repel them, so that the merit of the general and our brothers will be greater." β
"Oh? Do you have a way to retreat from the enemy? Ren Xian's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, he knew very well what was happening in the palace at this time, it was a rare opportunity to get ahead in many years. He was just guarding in front of the palace gate, and obviously the credit was far less than that of those comrades who followed Gonggong Cao to fight inside, but if he could defeat several times the enemy with a few hundred people tonight, this credit would be a bit eye-catching. With this thought, he subconsciously leaned back slightly, revealing the appearance of listening attentively.
Not only him, but the soldiers on the side were also moved, and they couldn't help but lean forward. No one noticed that the right hand of the soldier who said he had an idea hanging down his waist was already clenching the short knife. Just as he pretended to come to Ren Xian and opened his mouth to speak, his right hand had suddenly stabbed the knife out.
I only heard a loud sound, and the knife had directly penetrated the armor on Ren Xian's back, stabbing him fiercely into his waist, and a miserable scream had spurted out of his mouth at the same time with a large mouthful of blood......
In an instant, the forbidden soldiers on the wall were all dumbfounded, and they could only watch as this man stabbed Ren Xian's vital point, pulled out with all his strength, and then slashed his neck again when he didn't even struggle. This time, Ren Xian couldn't even scream, and immediately shriveled and fell to the ground, falling in a pool of his own blood.
It wasn't until he quickly killed Ren Xian that this person shouted: "Ren Xian and Cao Jixiang and others want to rebel, but now they have been killed by me, Fan Yang of Jinyi Wei Baihu, you don't surrender quickly and set things right!" As he spoke, he had already stepped on Ren Xian's corpse, and his momentum was terrifying.
At the same time, the forbidden army outside had already cooperated with a burst of shouts and attacked in great strides. Shi Biao immediately understood after hearing the chaos above, and glanced at Yang Zhen with some amazement. Unexpectedly, Jinyiwei was prepared in advance, and actually installed his own people in the forbidden army.
In fact, this matter is naturally not a big deal for Jin Yiwei and Lu Jin. Since he was able to sneak into the palace through Neiying early in the morning, he naturally wouldn't leave a hand here at the palace gate to make sure it was safe.
And now, this Fu Zi really played a key role, and with the sudden killing of the main general, these forbidden troops guarding the palace gate were suddenly completely confused. And when they saw several times the elite of the Beijing camp slaughtering fiercely, they were even more frightened and did not dare to fight.
In fact, these soldiers of the forbidden army themselves did not have the intention of rebellion, but they were forced by the situation and were coerced by their own generals, so they would stand on the side of the rebels. After all, they are not Cao Jixiang's sworn friends and cronies, and they can't fight for their lives at all. And now, with the sudden reversal of things, the characteristics of their wall grass have taken effect, and they no longer have the courage to defend it.
Seeing this, Fan Yang shouted again: "Why don't you open the city quickly, welcome the army escorted by King Qin into the palace, and make up for the mistakes you made before." As long as you cooperate well, my Jinyi Wei will be able to protect you from dying! β
With these last words, the defenders finally collapsed, and someone quickly ran down, laboriously lifted the thick top door bolt, and slowly opened the corner gate of the palace......
In this way, in the case of almost bloodlessness, the combined forces of Shi Biao and Jinyiwei were able to directly enter the palace, and quickly pounced in the direction of the Qianqing Palace at this time!
