Chapter 320: Inverted Bead Curtain
"Princess, what are we going to Cining Palace for?" Zhao Lian is very bottomless in his heart, Cining Palace seems to be closer to Xihua Gate, isn't his boss scared and confused?
"Since Liao Lang's waste has been defeated, how many forbidden troops are left who can really follow us with an iron heart?" Wang Yue said viciously: "The warrior camp of Xuanwu Gate is not a big problem, and it shouldn't matter if the Tengxiang Left Guard of Donghua Gate is concerned, but if the other three guards are facing the field, it is okay to say, but if they know that the opposite side is the emperor, what do you think will be the result?" ”
"What the prince said is ......" collapsed, surrendered, and defected, and terrifying words appeared in Zhao Lian's mind.
It is true that the imperial horse supervisors are under the control of Wang Yue, but the most hardcore is Liao Lang's eight hundred people, don't look at Wang Yue's hard mouth, in fact, Teng Xiang's left guard is not so stable, but the eight hundred warrior battalions on the side of Xuanwu Gate can still be counted on, and most of the other departments are going to defect when facing the emperor.
But since Liao Lang has been defeated, even if the warrior camp on the Xuanwu Gate arrives, I am afraid that he may not be able to resist the Boy Scouts of the plague god, and if he goes to Cining Palace in this situation, is it to ...... "Queen Mother!" As long as we have the will and name of the Queen Mother, we will be able to stabilize the morale of the army. Since Xie Hong has blackmailed the Son of Heaven, let's blackmail the Queen Mother! Wang Yue's face was hideous, and his tone was also devoid of his usual generosity, and several henchmen could hear that the prince was desperate.
I can't help him, after the emperor ascended the throne, he had the heart to remove the old people who were the master of ceremonies, if it weren't for the timely help of the foreign dynasty and suppressed the emperor, Wang Yue would have been sent to the imperial mausoleum long ago, how could there be today?
Now, that Xie Hong, together with the Eight Tigers and others, has stirred up the situation in Beijing, and the emperor's prestige is higher than the other, and he is about to overwhelm the outer court.
Therefore, since the outer dynasty has made up its mind to go against the emperor's will and kill Xie Hong and other close ministers, how can Lao Wang Yue not use this power of the sword?
It's just that I didn't expect that Xie Hong really had unpredictable skills, not only did he make the first move, but also caused so many incidents, he was almost about to turn the tables and take away the victory that Wang Yue saw in his hands, how could the old eunuch tolerate it?
So, Wang Yue made a desperate bet.
Zhao and Li both nodded silently, and they were also scolding Liao Lang in their hearts, if this waste was used a little, everyone would have a gap to ask for help from the outside world, and they would not end up in such a situation.
As long as the Queen Mother is done, it will be the point of no return. As long as the power in their hands is not weakened, the history books will always give them a reputation for righteousness; But a eunuch...... Hehe, there is a unified title: Quan Gelding!
According to the usual practice, although everyone is an alliance now, eighty percent of them will still be liquidated by foreign dynasties in the future, and the officials rely on this to make a name for themselves.
Alas! There's no way around that, let's just get by. Several eunuchs let out a long sigh.
"Dad, it's not good, it's not good!" Wang Xiaoyucang's panicked voice sounded again, adding a heavy stone to the already heavy hearts of the three eunuchs, making them breathe a little unpleasantly.
"What is the mourning? Our family just raised too much waste like you, and today we will end up in such a field, Liao Lang is like this, and so are you! Wang Yue was angry and afraid, he had already held back the evil fire in his belly, and he scolded bitterly: "Didn't our family let you go to Donghuamen to transfer troops?" What are you doing running back by yourself? ”
Wang Xiaoyu was so scolded by him that he couldn't raise his head, and it was easy to wait for Wang Yue to stop, and then he opened his mouth: "Dad, the defeated soldiers of Xihuamen have scattered and fled, and now the Forbidden City is full of defeated soldiers, and they have spread the news, except for the ones that I reported to you just now, they also said......" He peeked at Wang Yue's face, but he didn't dare to continue.
"Smack!" Wang Yue was furious, raised his arm and slapped him, and shouted, "What did you say? Say it! ”
"Yes." Wang Xiaoyu covered his face and said tremblingly: "The emperor has put out a blood flag, on which are written the words revenge, snow and hatred, and the sergeants over there have been shouting: If you want to avenge Emperor Xiaozong, the enemy is ...... Daddy......"
"What?" Wang Yue's expression changed drastically, his ferocious energy disappeared at once, his face turned from red to white, and finally turned into a gray color, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.
Zhao and Li were about to scold, saying that Xie Hong shamelessly planted Yunyun, but it can be seen that his expression is uncertain, and he is in shock, and he doesn't dare to speak again. They are all old people in the palace, and they know the doorway in the palace, and the Forbidden City is a place where everything is possible, whether this matter is planted by Xie Hong, or whether it is true, it is really difficult to say.
After a long while, Wang Yue opened his mouth tremblingly, and his voice was very low: "That Zhang Wu? He believed this, so he didn't dare to follow our family? Otherwise, why didn't you see Teng Xiang Zuowei and his soldiers coming? ”
"Commander Zhang is okay, he has not forgotten his father's kindness, he was also going to mobilize people to help in the battle, but the generals and sergeants below ......" The previous topic was too taboo, Wang Yue didn't say it, and Wang Xiaoyu didn't dare to mention it, "These warriors are already vulgar, after listening to those rumors, there are many wavers, Commander Zhang said, in this case, if you force the army, I am afraid that there will be an unforeseen ......"
"Fear of accidents? Hehe...... "Wang Yue smiled miserably, "Zhang Wu is really a smart person, just wait and see, but he still said it so nicely, since Teng Xiang Zuowei refused to send troops, the other departments must have no hope, but what is the matter with the shouting of killing in the west?" ”
After experiencing the blow of the failure of the Qianqing Palace, Lao Wangyue's psychological quality has also reached a higher level, and now he has suffered various blows again and again, but he can still hold his breath, and even noticed some details of the problem.
"It was Teng Xiang's right guard stationed at the noon gate who went up to engage in the battle, and the commander Geng Zhong ordered that the defeated soldiers should not be allowed to approach, only saying that Xie Hong was spreading rumors and making trouble, so he maintained his morale......" Wang Xiaoyu also inquired on the road, and he also knew about it very well.
"Geng Zhong?" Zhao and Li are both Daqi: "Hasn't this person always sold our accounts?" Why did you suddenly ...... at this time?"
The more elite the troops, the more obedient the sergeants of ordinary sergeants will be to orders, so Wang Yue's so-called mastery of the army is actually just to win over a few of the most senior generals.
Just like Teng Xiang Zuowei, in fact, Wang Yue's main influence, that is, a commander, Zhang Wu had a different heart, and this army was out of Wang Yue's grasp.
And like the warrior battalion, Wang Yue has been in business for a long time, and even many ordinary captains have been co-opted, so that the other party can get the death force, Liao Lang is still fighting desperately under extremely unfavorable circumstances; And the half of the warrior battalion stationed in Xuanwu Gate got the order, and they immediately drove to Cining Palace to converge.
But the commander of Teng Xiang's right guard has never been their way, Wang Yue didn't even send someone to give orders, Zhao and Li are Wang Yue's henchmen, and they are well aware of these situations, so they are all surprised to hear that Geng Zhong actually took the initiative to attack.
"Hey!" Wang Yue sneered, his face was very strange under the light of the fire: "The outer court is really calculating, our family is so brave and loyal, and all the big things have been done, they still can't rest assured, they actually left their hands, amazing, powerful......" His voice was cold, like a night owl, and the few people around him were terrified.
"Anyway, the situation is like this now, and I can't care about it. Lao Zhao, you go to the north to meet him, tell Liang Cheng, and let him take someone directly to help Teng Xiang's right guard. Xiaoyu, you hurry up and go out from the noon gate, go to Xie Mansion to report the news, tell the two scholars that there is a crisis in the palace, and let them try to rescue them quickly. Lao Li, you and our family take people to Cining Palace! ”
I don't know if there is some kind of awareness, the situation is getting more and more unfavorable, but Wang Yue's mind is becoming more and more calm, and one order after another is sent out, and there is no chaos at all.
"Princess, why don't we just quit the Forbidden City and join the scholars?" Zhao Lian proposed: "The battle in the palace will continue for a while, let's meet the Jingying outside, wouldn't it be better to come back and counterattack?" ”
"Idiot!" Wang Yue scolded coldly: "Who do you think the opponent is?" What's the situation in the palace? With our family here, we can still stabilize a few people; If our family is not there, I am afraid that in a moment or three, the forbidden army will be absorbed! You must know that there is an emperor in Xie Hong's team! ”
"Yes......" Zhao Lian is timid, but he is not stupid, the truth of this is also clear when he thinks about it, after being scolded, he does not dare to slack off, he salutes, and goes to the direction of Xuanwu Gate.
"Taking advantage of the emperor's momentum, and driving away the defeated soldiers, want to shake the morale of the army?" In the night, in the firelight, the Cining Palace not far away looked quite solemn, Wang Yue raised his head, and said with a smile: "Xie Hong! Don't think you'll succeed easily, you must know that there is still our family in the palace! Let's go, go to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother! ”
"Yes." Li Zhong answered, beckoned a group of sturdy eunuchs around him, and followed Wang Yue to Cining Palace.
...... "Revenge!" ”
"Kill everyone who stands!"
"Hooray! Banzai! ”
The fighting continues near Xihua Gate.
Xie Hong's plan is very perfect, weakening the morale of the other party through a series of psychological warfare such as Zhengde's sudden appearance and the collapse of Xihua Gate; then throw troops into annihilating those who dare to resist in one fell swoop; In the end, it is to drive away the defeated soldiers, spread relevant information and panic, and achieve the result of making the various departments of the forbidden army wait and see, hesitate, or even defect.
The number of Heaven-Shaking Thunder is indeed limited, but there are only more than five hundred, and it is unrealistic to defeat all the forbidden armies with this weapon alone, of course, it is necessary to use them sparingly. In addition, the reason why they had to fight close to Liao Lang and others was also to deepen the impression of the defeated soldiers, so that they would know that the actual combat strength of the guards was not bad, and that psychological warfare would be brought into full play.
The effect was really good, when Liao Lang and others conferred the head, the forbidden army that was still watching completely collapsed and fled. In fact, when Liao Lang and the others just caught up, these people were indeed waiting, but when the battle began, they were stunned.
Although the Guards were outnumbered by the outnumbered, this was a war, not a contest, and being able to overwhelm the outnumbered on the battlefield was itself a manifestation of strength.
And Liao Lang and others are recognized as brave in the forbidden army, seeing them being defeated like chopping melons and vegetables, the forbidden army watching is all frightened. Therefore, when Xie Hong ordered the word 'all killed' again, there was only one thought left in their hearts to escape.
This is what Xie Hong wants, and the inverted bead curtain is one of the few military terms he knows, that is, a tactic to drive the defeated army to storm the enemy formation and expand the chaos.
He didn't plan to use these defeated soldiers to attack the enemy's array, and only two or three hundred defeated soldiers could escape, and it would not achieve that effect, he planned to let these people spread the panic completely.
For the forbidden army, what Xie Hong wanted was not to annihilate everything, but to absorb most of the troops as a bargaining chip to confront the Beijing camp.
No matter how perfect the plan is, there will always be some surprises.
When Xie Hong completely defeated the warrior camp and was about to enter the army, there was suddenly another roadblock, all the way with torches held high, winding in, this time there were more soldiers and horses than the warrior battalion, there were thousands of people, and the team was much more neat.
