Chapter 641: Liu's Father and Son, Crowning the World (Thanks to Fan Xi S Wanbo)
Hundreds of knights rushed straight to the palace city, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace were dumbfounded.
There was even an old eunuch chasing the team of people and horses desperately shouting: "Get off the horse quickly, you can't beat the horse in the palace, it's the crime of killing the head... ”
The old eunuch had a good heart, but he reminded Liu Yanqing with his words.
But it was Liu Yanqing who arrived at this moment, where did he still care about these things. Without looking back, he went straight to the main hall.
After four consecutive entrances to the main hall, he went straight to the Yanhe Palace, that is, Zhao Huan has recently worked in the side hall on the side of the Yanhe Palace, and most of the things have moved here.
Several people rushed out of the side hall, apparently hearing the horse's hooves to check the situation. Even Zhao Huan also walked out of the door with an angry face, just to see which bold person dared to ride a horse in the palace.
After a while, Zhao Huan had already recognized that the person who was beating the horse in front of him was Liu Yanqing, and Liu Yanqing saw that the emperor was not ready to dismount, so he galloped quickly, and did not stop urgently until he was under the steps.
Zhao Huan was about to open his mouth to scold, but it was this Liu Yanqing who rushed up the steps in a few steps and shouted: "Your Majesty go quickly, and protect Your Majesty out of the city." The thieves had broken down the gates and rushed into the outer city. ”
On the steps, Zhao Huan, Li Bangyan, Geng Nanzhong and several others were stunned when they heard this, but they hadn't reacted yet.
Liu Yanqing has always been racing against time to escape, so he couldn't wait, and even took a few steps forward until he walked in front of Zhao Huan. shouted again: "Your Majesty, get on the horse quickly, and leave with the ministers!" ”
Zhao Huan was stunned at this time and asked, "The anti-thief has entered the city?" ”
Liu Yanqing nodded, seeing that Zhao Huan was still stunned, he stepped forward and carried Zhao Huan up, hurriedly descended the steps, and put Zhao Huan on the horse. He also said: "Your Majesty Haihan, the ministers are only arrogating to save Your Majesty's life." ”
Li Bangyan and the others looked dumbfounded, completely in the clouds.
But it was Zhao Huan who was already sitting on Liu Yanqing's horse, Liu Yanqing turned around and drove a soldier off the horse, then sat down again, stretched out his hand to lead Zhao Huan's horse, and was ready to beat the horse and run again.
Zhao Huan saw Liu Yanqing's movements, and hurriedly said, "I... I... Can't ride a horse. ”
Liu Yanqing's face was slightly annoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't, so he had to get off the horse again, take some belts, and go to tie Zhao Huan's legs to avoid His Majesty the Emperor falling off the horse when he galloped.
Zhao Huan just watched Liu Yanqing's movements, but he opened his mouth again and again to ask, but he didn't know what to ask, so he had to ask again: "Zheng Zhi entered the city?" ”
Liu Yanqing fastened his belt, turned over his horse, and replied: "Zheng Zhi has come in, and tens of thousands of cavalry have rushed into the outer city. Even the walls of the inner city won't be able to stop it for long. ”
Liu Yanqing knew in his heart that the length of time that the walls of the inner city could be held completely depended on the length of time that those black holes and cannons were transported.
Liu Yanqing already understood that the general trend had gone, and he never had the slightest idea of sticking to the death. But he didn't dare to let His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty fall into the hands of Zheng Zhi, Liu Yanqing also needed this Great Song Dynasty and this imperial court. Liu Yanqing was even more afraid that he would be slashed by Zheng Zhi, the king of Yan.
At this point, Li Bangyan saw Liu Yanqing, who was about to leave, and hurriedly ran up a few steps and shouted: "General Liu, quickly give me a horse." I can ride it myself. ”
Liu Yanqing really forgot about this Li Xianggong, and only thought about His Majesty the Emperor. Hearing the words at this time, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked at Li Bangyan, and saw that Zhao Huan's eyes were also looking back and forth on Li Bangyan and Geng Nanzhong, but he still opened his mouth and drove the other two soldiers off the horse.
Li Bangyan was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward to climb onto the horse.
Geng Nanzhong was also conscious, and walked straight to the horse.
The horse team immediately galloped up, but behind them several officers and soldiers followed.
After running for a while, Zhao Huan, who was tossing and turning on the horse, finally came back to his senses and shouted: "Liu Yanqing, why is there so many troops, and the city can still be broken by the thieves?" ”
Liu Yanqing replied while running: "Your Majesty, the thieves blew up the door with a huge cannon, and more than 30 huge cannons blew the city gate open, and more than 50,000 horses' hooves swarmed in like this, and the non-ministers were not effective in fighting. It's really a thief's cannon that is too powerful. It was really unexpected and unprepared. ”
Zhao Huan shouted again: "Isn't there still an inner city?" You can ask for it in a few days, and you can stick to it for a day or two, why do you want to escape! ”
"Your Majesty, the gate of the outer city will open in an instant, how can the gate of the inner city be held. His Majesty went out of the city with his ministers to take refuge for the time being, and when the army arrived, he could return to Tokyo. Liu Yanqing said half-truthfully.
Zhao Huan didn't say much when he heard this, temporarily avoided, and then returned, these two words can convince Zhao Huan, after all, life is more important.
At this time, Li Bangyan also spoke: "General Liu, can you go to my house first and take my family with you." ”
When Liu Yanqing heard this, he didn't know if he didn't hear it or what, but he didn't answer, he just ran away.
Out of the imperial city, he went to the south of the inner city, ran wildly along the royal street, and went straight out of the Suzaku Gate in the inner city.
Straight avenue, all the way wild, the streets of the south city are still full of people, and the people still don't know what happened in the north city. Such a huge city is dozens of miles from south to north, and the news is naturally not as fast as a horse's hoof.
On the street, there are countless pedestrians who have been knocked down, and many horse's hooves have trampled to death.
The scene was chaotic, the horse's hooves crossed, and many people fell to the ground and wept bitterly, natural disasters and man-made disasters, good people, just like this, said that they would die, or were trampled to death by the horses' hooves, and there was no neat bone in the whole body, and the scene was so tragic that the relatives who went out together on the street were difficult to recognize their true faces.
From the royal street to the outer city gate, it is the Nanxun Gate, which is a majestic city gate.
But Liu Yanqing didn't dare to go out of this kind of big city gate, and went straight to the small city gate seven or eight miles to the right.
As soon as the gates opened, five hundred horses galloped out.
Zheng Zhi obviously did not have enough troops to besiege this huge city. When Liu Yanqing ran out with Zhao Huan, there was no soldier guarding the door.
After Liu Yanqing had been running out for four or five miles, he had only come out from afar, with more than a few hundred horsemen and more than a thousand foot soldiers catching up. The two sides are already more than ten miles apart.
Bianliang City is too big, so big that Zheng Zhi's 55,000 cavalry and 30,000 foot soldiers can only besiege a rough one, and it can't even be talked about besieging.
The entire city with a population of more than one million, and even the vast majority of the people or officials, did not know for a moment that the city had been broken.
Zhao Huan just threw away Bianliang, the imperial court, and the center of the entire Great Song Dynasty. and Zhao Huan's own sons who are a few years old, all of whom are in the city.
There was no time to react, if it weren't for Liu Yanqing's skill and determination to escape, maybe this Zhao Huan would not have been able to get out of this million-dollar city.
Liu Yanqing in the northwest and his son, the technique of escaping is the best in the world. Zhao Huan summoned Liu Yanqing to Tokyo, which may be the most correct decision. Because this Bianliang City is destined to be undefended. Liu Yanqing was able to escape from Bianliang with Zhao Huan, which was already the greatest luck.
If there is a if, if it is a master who defends the city, there is probably only one left who will fight to the death and will not retreat, and the jade will be burned.
The cannons slowly move forward on the streets, and the streets of Tokyo are extremely wide and flat, and the green bricks paved on the streets are of the highest quality, and they have not been changed several times in hundreds of years.
The horses pulled the cannons, and the soldiers behind them pushed hard.
The cannons also reached outside the inner city gates. The guards of the city did not know that the commander and the emperor had run away, and they made a posture to prepare for battle.
Long stairs came from the outer city one after another, and countless party members and Dadan people went straight to the inner city along the avenue. Running out of breath and exhausted.
These nomadic men who have never seen the world have seen such a big city in the world for the first time, and they have run for more than ten miles in the city without seeing the end.
There were no more pedestrians on the streets, and all the people fled to their homes, their doors and windows closed. Most of the shops on the side of the road didn't have time to close, but there was no one inside.
Those men who felt that they were bolder than the sky, those who were still regretting not being able to go to the city to watch the battle, now they don't know where to hide, let alone whether they are still interested in watching the battle.
If Zheng Zhi knew that there were still so many people in Tokyo who liked to watch the war, he should also invite them to take a good look in front of the battle.
But there is not really a person on this street, in a teahouse on the side of the street, there are more than a dozen men with knives, constantly looking on the street. It seems to be waiting for someone.
These men are bold, when they heard that Yan Wang Tie rode into the city, these men are going against the current, others are running home, but they are inquiring about which street Yan Wang's iron horse is taking, when they hear that it is Chenqiaomen Street, the men went straight to Chenqiaomen Street, sat in the empty teahouse on the side of the street and waited for a long time.
Zheng Zhi had already stepped down from the platform, mounted the unicorn beast, and came to the city with a smile on his face. He was surrounded by soldiers and soldiers who were running fast, but Zheng Zhi was playing slowly.
Until he was about to pass by a teahouse, more than a dozen big men with knives suddenly rushed out of the teahouse.
The soldiers on the left and right reacted extremely quickly, drawing their bows and stepping forward to block, forming a blockade line in an instant.
"His Royal Highness King Yan, Wu Ze will see you." The man who ran out of the teahouse knelt directly to the ground, and Wu Ze shouted in front of his head.
When Zheng Zhi heard this, he glanced at it a few times, recognized Wu Ze, and waved it left and right. He said, "Come and speak." ”
Wu Ze got up when he heard this, rushed forward, and already spoke: "Your Highness, go and save the Taishi, the Taishi is in the prison of Yushitai." ”
Zheng Zhi already knew that Tong Guan had been imprisoned, and the person who delivered the message was Wu Ze, so when he heard the words, he turned around and said: "Niu Da, you lead a hundred horses, quickly follow Wu Ze to invite Tong Xianggong out, and after you are invited, send him back to the mansion, and when the war is safe, I will go to see him again." ”
Niu Da ordered a few horses to come over, Wu Ze turned over and rode away with the ox.
