Chapter 0619: Where is Zhong Aiqing
The 3rd Brigade and the 4th Brigade quickly advanced to the imperial capital, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities defending the city gate were caught off guard, and the city gate was occupied by the volunteers at once.
In fact, even the soldiers and horses of the five cities were on guard, and with their rudimentary bows and arrows and long knives, they were no match for the strong weapons of the volunteer army.
The wisest thing to do at this point is to throw down your bow and arrows and run as far as possible.
The duty of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is only to maintain public order in the imperial capital, and with their little combat power, it is okay to deal with the common people normally, but when they encounter a professional army like the Volunteer Army, they can only hold their heads and run around.
At this time, the main forces of the three feudatories were basically in other places, and they never thought that someone would dare to directly attack the imperial capital like this.
Those who remained in the city basically had no other armies except for the Shenji Battalion, the Xiaocai Battalion and the Royal Forest Army.
These troops, with a total of about 20,000 people, can be regarded as the elite of the three feudatories.
Among them, the Shenji Battalion has the strongest combat effectiveness, equipped with some fire guns and Franc machine guns. However, such a level of equipment is still far from the Volunteer Army, and it is not even as good as the level of the Bukui Era Fu Corps.
The other has a certain combat power, which is Sun Tongren's Jinyi Army.
However, the shortcomings of the Jinyi Army are also obvious. That is, there is no experience of large-scale wars. There were no weapons to compete with the volunteers.
The reaction speed of the various armies was not slow, and they were quickly dispatched to intercept the Volunteer Army.
Gao Wangshan, the secretary of the military department, went to supervise the battle in person.
However, the more Gao Wangshan watched the battle, the more shocked he felt and the more desperate he became.
Their own soldiers are not heroic in battle, as long as they receive orders, they will charge desperately.
However, all this seems to be in vain.
Every time a group of soldiers rushed up, the opponent's shells exploded in a dense cavalry formation, and as the soldiers on the horses were blown away, the horses fell and scattered in all directions, and then there were bursts of screams.
The sound of machine guns clattering, and the lives of the soldiers were harvested piece by piece.
Those soldiers who were on the side, past the artillery and machine guns, were knocked out by their rifles one by one.
Although there was a distance from each other, Gao Wangshan could still clearly see that those volunteer soldiers were like playing, and they were not in a hurry to kill their warriors one by one.
Charge again and again, trying to rush into the enemy's camp, but just can't rush through.
Soon, in the middle of the battle lines of both sides, there were corpses.
Although the Shenji battalion also had firearms, they were not used at all, and their range and accuracy were far inferior to those of the rifles of the volunteers.
Previously, Gao Wangshan also knew that the volunteer army was well-armed and had strong combat power. But that's all from the paperwork, or from what people say.
After witnessing it with his own eyes, he realized that all this was even more terrifying than the legend had come.
The Shenji Battalion was crippled, and there were few people left, so they had to retreat.
The cavalry battalion was also crippled, and less than 2,000 people remained.
At present, only a few thousand men of the Imperial Guards remain.
However, the Imperial Forest Army seems to be even more unbearable, and its performance is not even as good as the Shenji Battalion and the Xiaocai Battalion.
These guys, who usually rely on the emperor's personal guards, have always been above the top, and never take other armies in their eyes.
However, when the real war is fought, it is nothing more than embroidered pillows, and there is nothing to praise at all.
At the same time as the fierce battle on this side, a team of one hundred and forty or fifty people, dressed in the uniform of the Imperial Forest Army, gathered in front of Zhengyang Gate.
This team is a little different from other Royal Guards.
With them there were seven or eight wagons, full of boxes.
However, now that there is a war going on, many armies are walking around the city, and no one has come to pay attention to this army, let alone to observe how this army is different from other armies.
However, the difference between this army soon became apparent.
The large boxes on the car were opened, and the soldiers took out rifles from the boxes, carried them to their shoulders, and then dragged out four more machine guns. After that, there were more than a dozen boxes of bullets.
Once the guns and ammunition were ready, the men began to change their clothes.
The Imperial Forester's clothes were taken off, revealing a military uniform that the people of the Imperial Capital had never seen before.
A few brave people came to him.
"Master Jun, what kind of army are you, why have you never seen such an army?"
"Oh, we're the Beihai Volunteers."
"Beihai Volunteers, where are you going?"
"Go to the Forbidden City and fight Han Tiandou."
"Oh, to the Forbidden City. What the? Beihai Volunteer Army, fight Han Tiandou, fight the emperor? ”
"Yes, it's just to fight Han Tiandou, what's the matter, can't you beat him? Hey? Where have all the people gone? Why is there no shadow anymore? ”
Wei Ruoshui looked around and couldn't help but shake his head.
Why did they all run away? and I will not beat you.
"Are you ready, brethren?"
"Ready."
"We have been lurking in the imperial capital for more than a month, and we don't dare to come out all day, but this time we can come out to see the light generously. Brethren, Commander Min has already come in with the 3rd and 4th Brigades, and it's up to us at this moment. Now, I order, target the Forbidden City, the decapitation operation begins, go! ”
A procession passed through the Zhengyang Gate and walked towards the Forbidden City opposite. It didn't take long to arrive at the Jinshui Bridge.
After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, a few Royal Forest soldiers came up and wanted to investigate.
Before they could speak, they were shot and killed by the special operations team. Then the special forces swarmed towards the gate.
The guards at the gate were about to close the gate when they were shot. The guards on the gatehouse were killed before they could shoot arrows.
One hundred and fifty people rushed in smoothly, leaving a few to close the gate, and the rest rushed towards the end gate.
Although none of these people had ever been to the palace, Lichun and Zuo Linliang had drawn them a detailed map of the Forbidden City before.
When he was still in Guanxiangtun in Shengjing, he made a sand table model of the palace according to the map of Lichun.
Wei Ruoshui took his team members to face the sand table every day, and he had already clearly remembered the architectural pattern in the palace.
Despite the large number of houses and complex structures, it is enough to remember dozens of major buildings.
Soon entered the end gate, and the towering Taihe Hall appeared in front of him.
The Imperial Forest Army and the palace guards kept coming out, but as soon as they saw their faces, they were immediately killed, and the other party didn't even have a chance to fight back.
From time to time, eunuchs and palace maids screamed and ran around, like headless flies, skewering around.
The team members ignored them and rushed straight into the Taihe Palace.
The doors of the temple were not closed, and several doors were open.
Wei Ruoshui went in and saw that there was no one inside, so he turned around and walked forward, and soon arrived at the Zhonghe Hall.
There are already team members occupying the place.
"Captain, Han Tiandou is in the Heart Cultivation Palace."
"Let's go."
More than 20 team members, following Wei Ruoshui, walked like the right gate behind the back, passed through a narrow road, and arrived at the Longzong Gate.
The gate was still open, and a dozen palace guards were chatting at the door.
Seeing Wei Ruoshui and others coming, before he could react, there was a burst of gunfire, leaving only one.
"Where is Han Tiandou?"
"Who is Han, Han, Han Tiandou?"
The imperial guards were almost stupid, and for a while, they didn't associate Han Tiandou with Emperor Tianshun.
"It's your emperor. Is it in the Temple of Heart Nourishment? ”
"No, no, no, no."
"You are a little loyal, so let's go first and wait for Han Tiandou at Nai He Bridge."
Wei Ruoshui made a short move and sent the guards to the western sky.
Twenty or so people rushed into the courtyard of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and rushed straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Leave a machine gun inside and outside the Longzong Gate to seal the door, and the rest of the people will outflank the Heart Cultivation Hall from both sides.
More than a dozen guards rushed out, and as soon as they looked at them, they were all swept to the ground by machine guns.
The door of the Heart Cultivation Hall suddenly opened, and four people came out.
One of them was wearing a yellow dragon robe, and it was obviously Han Tiandou.
Wei Ruoshui led the people, and he was not in a hurry, and slowly walked towards them.
At the gate of Longzong in the back, I remembered the sound of machine guns, obviously someone was sending reinforcements here, but no one was able to come in.
A few more guards rushed out, and as soon as they were usually killed.
There were five or six guards left, and they were still escorting Han Tiandou. Several special operators raised their guns and killed them one by one.
A few more eunuchs stood in front of Han Tiandou, and they were also killed as usual.
In the end, the eunuch was gone, and the four of them grabbed a palace maid and blocked him in front of him. The special combat team members were not polite, so they killed the palace maid as well, along with the other three people, leaving Han Tiandou alone.
Wei Ruoshui walked up to Han Tiandou and stood still in Yizhang away.
"Where is Zhong Aiqing, come and escort!"
Han Tiandou shouted loudly, although his voice was loud, but with a trill.
"Han Tiandou, you don't have to call it, no one will take care of you."
Wei Ruoshui said with a smile.
"Who are you who dare to trespass in, aren't you afraid of destroying your nine clans?"
Hahaha.......
The team laughed.
"Han Tiandou, your end has come, and you even use the destruction of the Nine Clans to scare people, you are really funny. Thanks to you as a hero, now you have become a coward. ”
"Who are you who dare to murder the king?"
"Killing the king? You're a thief. Let me tell you the truth, we are the Beihai Volunteers. ”
"Jia Min? Are you Jia Min? ”
"Heh, Han Tiandou, you really lift yourself up. Just kill you like this, and use our chief Min to make a move? Let me introduce myself, my name is Wei Ruoshui, the captain of the special combat team of the Volunteer Army. Have you heard of me? ”
"What are you, you ......."
Smack, before Han Tiandou finished speaking, Wei Ruoshui fired a shot that hit Han Tiandou's left leg.
Han Tiandou knelt down on one knee.
Smack, Wei Ruoshui fired another shot, and Han Tiandou also knelt down.
"Han Tiandou, isn't it very pleasant to be an emperor, don't you feel very majestic when so many people kneel down for you every day? Now let you kneel to the people of the world, and let you also taste the taste of kneeling to others. ”
"You can't kill me, I am the true dragon emperor, give you money, give you officials, you go to Jia Min, I will make him king."
"Han Tiandou, you are so generous, and you will give us Chief Min the title of king? Our two brigades, less than 8,000 people, took the imperial capital. I took the Forbidden City with more than 100 people, and with your little ability, you dare to do it for us officials? You say, is there anything so ridiculous? ”
"Captain, don't talk nonsense with him, just shoot him to death."
"Okay, here you go."
As soon as the words fell, a few gunshots rang out, and Han Tiandou fell.
A generation of heroes died here.
"Grab a eunuch and ask, who are these people?"
A eunuch was dragged over.
"Master Jun, these are Li Guoxin, the king of Xining, Han Tiankui, the general of Ningguta, and the scholar Liu of the Military Aircraft Department."
"Heh, they're all characters, but they died a little unjustly today, and they became nameless ghosts. Well, drag them all out and throw them at the door for public display, so that they may know that their emperor is dead. ”
At this time, the gunfire in the palace had subsided. When Wei Ruoshui walked out, in the courtyard of the Zhonghe Palace, he encountered a group of women in Chinese clothes who were escorted out.
These people should be the concubines.
