Just after the second watch, the school field by Luoshui was crowded with black heads, for fear of startling the snakes, the rebels did not light torches. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Mai climbed on a temporary high platform, looked at the people standing under the dark night sky, and the extremely nervous mood just now instantly calmed down, and raised his right fist: "Wang Shichong has been in Luoyang for three years, and the people of the whole city have had enough of Zheng Guo's exploitation, and now that the Tang army has surrounded Luoyang, he still wants to die and struggle, in a vain attempt to drag all the people of Luoyang into the water, do you want to be his funeral goods?" ”

"I don't want to!" Three thousand soldiers shouted together.

"In a word," Wang Mai looked at the soldiers, "enter the palace!" ”

"Enter the palace!"

"Let's go!"

Wang Shichong hasn't slept yet, he hasn't slept well these days, although he always has a calm expression in front of people, but his heart is getting more and more anxious. The crown prince went to the Tiger Prison Pass to transport grain and never returned, and the grain and grass in the imperial city were stretched, and the defenders were now forced to cut the amount of food twice. Originally, there were still a few granaries in Guocheng, but they fell into the hands of the chaotic people, and now they can't be counted on.

I didn't expect Wang Mai to have such a great ability, I really looked away, but it doesn't matter, in order to win the hearts of the people, this person supplies precious food to the people of the city, that is a bottomless pit, presumably now they are almost at the end of their rope. Once there is no food, these rebellious people will also turn away from this person, and the little chaos in Guocheng will soon be calmed down.

The only thing he was worried about was the kind of spell comparable to a lightning strike, but he didn't quite believe that someone would really cast a spell, and he had fought all his life, and he had never seen anything strange, if this person could really manipulate the power of thunder and lightning, would he still be trapped in the city and waiting for death?

"Your Majesty......" The eunuch next to him cautiously walked up to him, wearing a hat with a white bandage wrapped around his head. Since Wang Shichong lost consciousness on the right half of his body, his temper has become more irritable, and he is angry with the people around him at every turn, and he has already executed three eunuchs who were waiting. It turned out that the eunuchs in the palace were eager to serve the emperor, but now they are frightened, afraid that the emperor will fall in love with him one day, and his little life will be difficult to protect.

Wang Shichong looked at the eunuch kneeling on the ground with displeasure: "I'm thinking about things, what are you eunuchs talking about!" ”

"Slave and maid should be damned......" The eunuch hurriedly knelt on the ground, "It's already the third watch, and the slave just wants to remind Your Majesty ......"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Shichong picked up an inkstone next to the couch and smashed it: "Get out!" ”

The eunuch subconsciously tilted his head and avoided this inkstone, but he reacted in his heart and shouted that it was not good.

Sure enough, Wang Shichong saw that this slave dared to dodge, picked up the things on the table and threw them at the eunuch.

The eunuch had no choice but to lie on the ground, letting these things smash on his body, and for a while, he only felt a heart-rending pain on his head, shoulders, arms and other places, but in order to save his life, he had to endure it.

After Wang Shichong lost his temper, he suddenly felt in a better mood, and he looked at the eunuch who was kneeling and trembling: "Dog eunuch, don't you wait for me to go to bed?" ”

"Yes...... yes" The eunuch didn't care about the pain all over his body, got up and quickly helped Wang Shichong down on the bed.

There are a total of four gates in the imperial city, among which the main gate of the imperial city is the gate of heaven leading directly to the street of heaven, and there are six ques on both sides of the gate of heaven, which is the highest etiquette system of the main gate of the ancient palace city. Outside the gate of heaven is the Luoshui Bridge, the bridge is tens of meters long, it is the necessary place to enter the palace city, and there are guards guarding the bridge day and night.

The high tower of Yingtianmen was brightly lit, and the forbidden army guarding the imperial city stood here to watch the situation under the city and protect the safety of the imperial city. At this time, in the second half of the night, the guard gave a long yawn, and when the early morning was the most sleepy, he hurriedly walked back and forth two steps to relieve fatigue.

"General, there seems to be movement under the door?" The soldier next to him, who had been standing still, spoke.

The guard sneered in his heart, and said in his heart Who would dare to hit the palace at this time, but he was burdened with a heavy responsibility, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and looked down carefully.

At this time, the torches on the bridge were still there, and the soldiers stationed there did not move, so how could there be any movement? Turning his head, he was about to reprimand the soldier who lied about the military situation, when he suddenly saw the soldiers on the bridge falling to the ground one after another.

"What's that ......?" said the soldiers upstairs, who had already noticed something strange at this time, pointing to the bridge in the distance.

I saw a group of black figures on the south bank of Luoshui, as if they were holding a shield, and when they got closer, they realized that they were pushing and walking on a wooden frame. The guards immediately understood that it was the idea of the mob in the city who were anxious and wanted to attack the imperial city. He sneered, and wanted to climb up to the top of the city with such a low wooden frame, which was really stupid.

"Eight bows and crossbows ready to ......" The guard's words had not yet fallen, and he saw that heavy objects were launched from the wooden frame, and the direction was the Que Tower where he was standing. These mobs actually have crossbows, and the range is not close, but there are only a few of them, I'm afraid they can't even hit people.

"Bang" The heavy object launched outside the water smashed through the window and flew into the tower, only to find that it was not a stone bullet, a brass shell, and there was still some fire burning inward a little bit.

"Boom...... Rumble...... Boom ......" several loud bangs sounded above the gate of heaven, and the firelight generated by the explosion reflected the light on both sides of Luoshui. After the explosion, the rebels of Luoshuinan found that the towers on the gate had collapsed, and the flying sawdust and dust mixed with black smoke were splashed out in all directions, and the high temperature generated by the explosion quickly ignited the entire city gatehouse.

It was the first time for everyone in the righteous army to see such a scene, they all stood still like wooden statues, and they all looked at Wang Mai in front of them, could this be a magic weapon given by King Qin?

"Enter the palace!" Song Laosan pulled out his knife and rushed forward in the lead.

"Enter the palace!" Everyone's blood was ignited in an instant, and they picked up the weapons in their hands and rushed towards Zetianmen.

At this time, there was already chaos on the Heavenly Gate, and a few guards who woke up from the shock found that the other party's target was aimed at them this time, and when they heard the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground around them, they subconsciously wanted to escape, but where was the time. There was a fire on the city gate in an instant, accompanied by a loud sound that shook the sky, and the soldiers who were far away from the landing point watched in horror as their companions were thrown high, and fell heavily, and countless stumps and broken arms would fall around them, and the whole scene was as miserable as purgatory on earth.

At this time, Song Laosan had already rushed to the gate of Zetianmen, and the whole process was not hindered in any way, and several soldiers around him piled up under the door with bundled gunpowder bags and lit the medicine twist. Everyone had already retreated to a safe distance, and with the experience of the previous few times, they covered their ears one after another.

With a loud bang, the city gate was blown open, and the flying sawdust smashed on the top of everyone's heads, and a choking smell of fireworks was smelled in the nose, but there was no need to care about it, and everyone rushed towards the doorway.

"Quick!" Wang Mai led the soldiers pushing ballistas behind him and rushed towards the city gate.

The explosion in the imperial city soon alarmed the defenders of the cities in Luoyang, and Wang Shiyun, who was in charge of guarding the Dingding Gate, had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the noise, he immediately woke up.

"Father!" Wang Ren ran in in armor, "There is a fire in the direction of the imperial city. "Since he learned that the person who instigated the people in the city was Wang Mai, Wang Renze was sent by Wang Shichong to guard the city gate, but after all, because he was his own nephew, he was not too harsh.

"The rebels in the city want to attack the palace?" Wang Shiyun instantly thought of this possibility, "Go and take someone to take a look." ”

"Could it be the thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, the imperial city is heavily guarded, and the chaotic people lack siege equipment, how can they hit the stone with an egg?" Wang Ren analyzed.

"There is also this possibility," Wang Shiyun lowered his head and pondered, "The Tang army has not moved, this is very abnormal, if they take the opportunity to attack the city at this time, they will fall into the trap of the thieves." Even if these rebellious people really want to fight the imperial city, they can't take it for a while, so you take someone to investigate the military situation first, and then make a decision. ”

"Yes!"

At this time, the other city gates also reacted one after another, and they were afraid that this was a suspicious plan, so they did not dare to slack off, and sent people to check in the direction of the imperial city.

The Tang army outside the city was also alarmed by the abnormal movement in the city, and the horses returned to the camp one after another to report that there was something unusual in the city. After Li Shimin left, all the matters of the Tang army were handed over to the old commander Qu Tutong, who quickly ordered the gathering of troops to prevent the Zheng army from attacking the camp.

As soon as the Tang army moved here, Zheng Jun, who was defending the city, immediately discovered that his heart was really a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he almost fell for the enemy.

Just breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, Tanma, who went to check the situation in the direction of the imperial city, brought back a shocking news, the gate of Tianmen was wide open, the Que Tower was burned by fire, and the imperial city was full of shouts of killing.

How can it be? The guards of Zheng Jun couldn't believe it and confirmed the truth of the matter again, so they accepted the unbelievable news and hurriedly ordered someone to go to the imperial city to Qin Wang.

Before the Imperial City Forbidden Army, which had been blinded by a round of gunpowder bullets, could react, it was overwhelmed by the incoming rebels, and it was not until they reached the gate of the palace that the forbidden army organized hundreds of people to carry out the first effective resistance.

These hundreds of forbidden troops were lined up at the gate of the palace city, and before they could understand why these people easily crossed the city gate and came here, they heard a dense round of crossbow strings, and dozens of people fell in front of them instantly.

"Put down your weapons and spare you from dying!" Song Laosan shouted.

"Who dare!" As soon as one of the forbidden generals standing in the front finished saying this, he was shot into a hedgehog by a flying crossbow arrow.

......Seeing this, everyone dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground in surrender.

I didn't have time to pay attention to these people, and a pile of explosives bags were piled up in front of the palace gate, and after a loud bang, the palace gate was torn apart. The forbidden army captives who saw this scene next to them understood the reason why the imperial city had fallen so quickly, and they were speechless in horror.

Leaving dozens of people to guard these forbidden troops, the rebels swarmed in, and as soon as they stepped into the palace gate, they saw a row of soldiers standing on the jade steps in front of Ziwei Palace.

"Rush up, don't give them time to wind up!" Song Laosan and Fugui took the lead with a group of veterans and rushed up the steps.
