Chapter Ninety-Five: The Hidden Hand

'Bang bang bang', brilliant fireworks burst in the air. The palace is shouting everywhere that the gods of heaven will bless the true dragon and the Son of Heaven, and those who dare to oppose the Son of Heaven will be punished by heaven.

Zhu Wen and Li Zhenzhi naturally knew that this was just a rumor, but the soldiers below didn't think so.

Most of these soldiers were illiterate, and they had this natural fear of ghosts and gods, and some of Zhu Wen's subordinates began to retreat.

When the two armies go to war, morale is particularly important. If one person retreats, a group of people will retreat, and Zhu Wen's offensive is obviously not so fierce.

Kong Jie's remaining Left Dragon and Tiger Army was less than 300 people, and it had already become a trend in the urn. But with the explosion of fireworks, there was a hint of a turnaround.

Youwei and Fuquan climbed the palace wall with a few gunpowder jars.

It's a pity that the gunpowder jar is ceramic and can't be thrown out like a grenade.

Youwei and Fuquan found a penny, tied one end of the gunpowder jar to the penny, lit the fuse and stretched out.

Outside the second palace wall, there were all the Right Dragon and Tiger Army and Zhu Wen's own soldiers, and these gunpowder jars were very damaged, and they were filled with gunpowder and stone tiles.

The gunpowder jar on the penny's head was sparkling, and Zhu Wen's men were so frightened that they retreated.

'Boom! With a bang, the gunpowder jar exploded.

Smoke billowed and stone fragments flew at a detonation speed under the impetus of gunpowder.

"Ahh

"Ouch!"

The screams were incessant, and the five or six soldiers who approached were killed and wounded.

If the fireworks just now only made Zhu Wen's people frustrate the morale of the attack, the two gunpowder canisters of Youwei and Fuquan directly changed the tide of the battle.

Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it. Kong Jie raised his sword and shouted: "The gods are mighty!" Come on! ”

The remaining Left Dragon Tiger Army roared and rushed out of the second palace gate, and Zhu Wen's soldiers began to retreat.

Zhu Wen didn't look good, mainly because he was also suppressed by the power of this gunpowder: "Withdraw!" Remove! ”

The soldiers were already frightened, and King Liang had an order, so he turned around and ran away regardless of his head.

……

At night, Ji Congliang's five thousand iron cavalry of the Shenwu Army finally arrived in Luoyang City.

As soon as the Shenwu army entered the city, the flames were soaring in the distance, and there seemed to be a faint shout of killing.

"General Ji, it seems to be in the direction of the palace." A general pointed to the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the distance.

Ji Congliang lifted the reins of the horse: "King Liang has made a move, speed up!"

Zhu Wen withdrew from the palace with his troops, still in shock: "This, what kind of artifact is this?" It's so powerful. ”

Li Zhen next to him turned pale: "Yes, it should be the same as that fireworks." These kitsch tricks are so powerful that they are truly terrifying. ”

"His Royal Highness King Liang! His Royal Highness King Liang! The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Ji Congliang finally joined Zhu Wen's army with five thousand iron horses.

As soon as Zhu Wen saw his Shenwu army, he was overjoyed: "With these five thousand iron horses, let him have an iron wall and an iron wall, the king will also take it down!"

……

"Ouch my aunt, it's already overturned outside, you can't go out." Zhu Youneng blocked the door and didn't let Zhang Wanxi go.

"I'm going to see Your Majesty," Zhang Wanxi was about to break out despite dissuasion.

"Yes, yes!" At this time, Guangwang Zhu Quanyu also came over: "What's going on outside?"

"Daddy, my uncle and His Majesty are fighting. My uncle is usurping the throne and becoming emperor! Zhu Youneng said.

As soon as he heard this, Zhu Quanyu couldn't sit still, and he raised his legs and was about to go out.

"Dad, why are you going?" Zhu Youneng stopped him.

Zhu Quanyu turned around: "I'll go and persuade your uncle."

Zhu Youneng hurriedly ran over and grabbed his father: "The child has already sent someone out to investigate, and the commander of the Left Dragon and Tiger Army has voted for Your Majesty, and is fighting with my uncle." What are you doing out at this juncture, Dad, things have come to this point, and my uncle will not listen to your persuasion. Let's not wade into this troubled water, you must know that if my uncle wins, our old Zhu family will become a traitor spurned by everyone in the world. If Your Majesty wins, we will also be implicated. So Dad, let's stay at home honestly, don't go to the troubled waters. ”

Although Zhu Youneng is a loser who does all kinds of evil, his sense of smell is still very keen, and Zhu Quanyu, who said what he said, nodded again and again: "Come to Fu, go and close the door of the mansion and refuse to see guests!"

Zhu Youneng pointed to Wangcai: "Be optimistic about Miss Zhang." After speaking, he went to the mansion with his father to discuss the way out of the Guangwang Mansion in the future.

……

On the third day of February, at dawn,

said that the second Ge family army arrived in the capital, but there is still no news.

At the top of the mushroom, at this time, the vanguard of tens of thousands of troops of the Ge family army had begun to launch a fierce attack on the Shenwu army, and Zhu Youwen had already received a letter from the flying pigeons in the capital. Knowing that Ge Jiajun wanted to enter Beijing in a hurry to escort him, he waved the command flag: "Attack!"

The cruelty of cold weapon warfare cannot be described in words.

Ge Jiajun and Shenwu Army are both elites, and as soon as the two sides fight, they both feel that the other party is strong.

But not long after the beginning, the vanguard of the Ge family's army began to retreat.

Moreover, this retreat is large-scale, and it seems that the Ge family army has no intention of fighting at all. As soon as the vanguard retreated, tens of thousands of troops behind them threw away their armor and ran around the mountains like headless flies.

Zhu Youwen was overjoyed: Order all the soldiers to pursue at full speed! Capture Ge Congzhou alive! ”

The morale of the Shenwu army was greatly boosted, and they shouted one after another: "Capture Ge Congzhou alive, capture Ge Congzhou alive!"

……

Here, the Gejia army was defeated and fled, Luoyang City, Zhu Wen surrounded the palace again with five thousand Shenwu troops, and this time it was all the shield bearers who rushed to the front.

5,000 iron horsemen, dealing with more than 300 people in the palace. In addition to being afraid of that kind of heavenly thunder gunpowder, it was almost effortless to break through the palace.

The shield bearer approached step by step towards the second palace gate.

With this thick iron shield, these soldiers would not be afraid of the gunpowder jar in the palace.

After all, the lethality of the ceramic gunpowder jar is limited, and if the opponent approaches step by step with a shield, the power of the explosion of the gunpowder jar will not hurt the soldiers behind the shield at all.

Ming'an Palace,

"Why hasn't the Ge family army arrived yet, did you meet Zhu Wen's army on the way?" Li Ji was anxious, counting on Kong Jie's three hundred left dragon and tiger army to resist for no more than a quarter of an hour.

Mr. Mo Long was not in a hurry or slow: "Your Majesty, can't we win without the Ge family army?"

Except for Ge Jiajun, Li Ji really couldn't think of any other weight he had: "Mr. Mo Long, don't sell Guanzi, Zhu Wen's army has already arrived at the gate of the palace."

"Your Majesty, King Liang's army has arrived!" Kong Jie ran into the Ming'an Hall covered in blood.

Mo Long looked at Li Ji and waved his feather fan lightly: "Your Majesty, if the minister expected it to be good, Ge Congzhou should have been caught by Zhu Youwen's Shenwu army." But except for Ge Jiajun, let's ......"

Li Ji interrupted him and said with great joy: "You mean, the Zhaoyi Army of the Ding Society?"

Mr. Mo Long finally smiled: "At this time, the Zhaoyi Army should be almost here, let's go, let's go out and meet King Liang."
