Chapter 61: Taking Over the City Gate

"The lord has already entered the city, and we should do our work." Shanjia watched the convoy that greeted Jiang Chuan disappear from view, and said to the deputy general Bige next to him.

"General, there are nine gates in the capital, let's take over Chaoyang Gate and Dongzhi Gate first according to the original plan, as long as these two gates are in our hands, even if there is a change in the capital, we can also attack and retreat." Bige took out a simple map of the capital drawn in cowhide from his bosom and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, these two gates must be in our hands first. Although judging from the current situation, it is unlikely that anything major will happen in the capital at present, it is better to be cautious and take precautions in advance. The lord asked us to take over these two gates first, and it was also out of this consideration. In this way, you take someone to take over Dongzhimen, and let Zhao Feng take over Chaoyangmen. In case of obstruction, all means may be used. Shanjia looked at the majestic city wall and commanded in a deep voice.

"The last general obeys!" Bige clenched his fists and led the order, and soon galloped towards Dongzhimen with a team of men.

Zhao Feng, the commander of the cavalry, has now been promoted to the captain of the cavalry battalion for his merits, and after receiving the order of the general of the mountain armor, he immediately led his troops to set off towards Chaoyangmen.

The Dashun army has fled westward, and the crisis in the capital has been lifted, so the nine gates of the capital have been lifted and they can enter and exit. However, those who enter and leave the city gate still need to be checked by the soldiers at the city gates.

In peacetime, the duty of guarding the nine gates of the capital was carried out by the Nine Cities Terracotta Division. The main task of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division is to defend the city gates and patrol the main streets of the capital.

In terms of status, the Jiucheng Terracotta Division is actually equivalent to the armed police force of the Celestial Empire or the National Guard of the United States imperialism in the future, and it belongs to the sequence of local garrison troops, which is barely enough to deal with ordinary people and deal with ordinary riots. But once there is a war, it is almost the same as the five scum of war.

It's just that now because of the threat of the Dashun army, there are not only the people of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who are guarding the city, but also the soldiers of the Beijing camp, which belongs to the state of mixed formation and cooperation.

Now that the threat has been lifted, these soldiers have slackened off a lot, lazily checking the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gates, and by the way, they will take fruit from the hands of the people, and eat tofu from the hands of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law and rub the oil.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar, from far and near, and quickly approached the city gate.

Someone shouted in shock: "The rogues are coming, the rogues are coming again, close the city gates, close the city gates quickly......"

This shout made the soldiers and the people at the gate of the city panic, and the people screamed and ran towards the city in a hurry, some of the soldiers guarding the gate remembered to run to the city, and some ran with the people to the city.

The guards of the city gate shouted orders for the city gates to be closed quickly, and shouted and cursed the soldiers who followed the people to the city.

The whole city gate was suddenly in chaos because of the sudden sound of horses' hooves.

Suddenly, an officer standing on the city wall pointed at the city and shouted: "It's not a rogue, it's not a rogue, it may be the king of Qin's people!" ”

The city gate guard heard the two words of King Qin, calmed down a little, fixed his eyes and looked into the distance, only to see a big banner with the word "Qin" in gold characters on a black background flying in the air with the galloping people and horses, quickly approaching the position of the city gate.

"It seems that it is really the men and horses of the King of Qin......" The guard was a little surprised.

The black cavalry quickly swept to the city gate like a black tide, and the first general shouted to the city head: "Listen to the city guards, this general is under the command of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and he will take over the city defense by the order of the King of Qin, and quickly open the door and hand it over." If you delay time, you will not be spared! ”

The guards were a little confused, and they didn't receive the order from above to change the guard. But when he looked at the angry cavalry under the city, his heart fluttered, and his eyes rolled, and he instructed the officer named Shouting just now to ask questions.

Although the officer was also very worried in his heart, he couldn't help but listen to the officer's order, so he had to ask loudly: "This general, we haven't received the order to change the guard." If the general has a military order, can you show ......it?"

Bige snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness King Qin's order is a military order, if you delay and stop it any longer, don't regret it." ”

After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him had already bowed and arrowed in their hands and aimed at the head of the city. Bigg reached out and grabbed a soldier's bow and arrow, and fired an arrow at the city.

The arrow whistled towards the city, flew over the head of the officer who had just shouted, and a strand of helmet fell to the ground, and he was pale with horror, and sat on the ground.

At the same time, another group of cavalry had galloped towards the city gate, and in the process of galloping, the arrows in their hands had been wound up and shot at the city gate, which had not yet been completely closed.

After a puff of arrows, the soldiers who were panicking to close the city gate suddenly dispersed, and the city gate was soon occupied by the cavalry who jumped off their horses.

The city gate was pushed wide open, and a steady stream of Qin troops drove into the city gate, and soon rushed from the city wall road to the city wall.

In the face of these indifferent and murderous Qin soldiers, the city gate guard didn't dare to say a word more, and obediently withdrew with his people, handing over the city defense to Bige.

After Bige took over the city defense, he readjusted the defense near the city gate, and the direction of Lu Chai and Zhu Ma was facing the city, obviously focusing on the defense in the direction of the city.

Zhao Feng's side was a little twisty and turned.

Because the location of the Qin army was closer to the Chaoyang Gate, Zhao Feng took all the cavalry with him, and rushed into the city gate with the momentum of thunder.

The guard of Chaoyangmen was blind, seeing that the Qin army had rushed to his eyes, he shouted that he had not received the order to change guards, and he also pulled out his knife to threaten Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly chopped off this guy's head with a knife, and then the other city gate guards were honest and obediently withdrew from the defense area one by one.

It took less than half an hour from the departure to the complete mastery of the two city gates.

After receiving the report from Bige and Zhao Feng, Shanjia sent someone to inform Jiang Chuan.

However, Jiangchuan's side is stagnant at this time, because there are too many onlookers on both sides to welcome them, and the road is congested and cannot go fast at all.

The people on both sides looked at the big banner with the word "Qin" in gold on a black background and cheered at the leading cavalry, and many of them were holding all kinds of food and wine in their hands, looking at the mighty soldiers of the personal guard battalion, and they all grabbed the things in their hands and stuffed them into the arms of the soldiers.

And more and more people came to hear the news, the whole road was almost completely blocked, and the people behind squeezed the people in front of them forward, leaving the space for the convoy to be narrower and narrower, and the speed of the entire convoy was almost squirming.

And in this crowded crowd, at this time, there are many people with grim faces, long bags wrapped in their backs or arms, and people dressed in people's clothes are surging forward with the crowd.

And the direction in which these people rushed was obviously aimed at the two carriages at the front of the convoy, and everyone knew that they were the carriages of King Qin and the first assistant of the current dynasty.
