Chapter 322: Full Fire

In the face of the sudden outbreak of the Guards' decisive assault, Geng Zhong and his 1,000 soldiers and horses were completely stunned.

The commander of the Teng Xiang Right Guard has a loyal character in his name, which he has always prided himself on, and in this operation, he also showed this loyal character to the fullest.

Of course, the object of his allegiance is not to be the current Zi Zhengde, in his own words, his allegiance is to the Ming court. The Ming court naturally includes the Son of Heaven, but if today's son is young and doesn't know anything, of course, the opinions of the ministers of the foreign court shall prevail. Even if the Son of Heaven is unwilling for a while, it is out of kindness, and when the Son of Heaven grows up, he will naturally understand.

As a member of the forbidden army, of course this kind of opinion can't be said casually, but fortunately, Admiral Wang Yue also has this opinion, and occasionally shows it inadvertently, as if he is patting the prince's ass. Therefore, he has not attracted anyone's attention, and the undercover work is completely complete.

Because he didn't notice him, Wang Yue regarded him as an ordinary commander, neither too trusting nor rejecting, and in this operation, the task assigned to Geng Zhong was not up to the limit.

No matter how magical Xie Hong is, it is impossible for him to enter the Forbidden City from the noon gate, and it is impossible for the emperor to run out from here. You must know that in addition to the noon gate in the south of the Forbidden City, there are many access controls in Duanmen and Chengtianmen, and it is quite troublesome to enter and exit.

Besides, Xie Hongren was in Xiyuan, how could he come around such a big circle to the noon gate? Unless it is the fan of the Ordnance Division, it is almost the same, but the Ordnance Division is now surrounded by water, the elite of the Beijing camp, and those Fanzi can't be killed anyway unless they have three heads and six arms.

Therefore, Geng Zhong's responsibilities are very insignificant compared to Xihuamen or Xuanwumen. But compared to the various troops stationed in the Imperial Horse Prison, his duties are much more important, at least when there is something wrong in the Forbidden City, his actions are much faster than those soldiers and horses far east of the Imperial City.

The noon gate is actually quite close to the Xihua Gate, so Geng Zhong quickly found out that something had happened in the Xihua Gate, and he acted as fast as he could. Quickly assemble the team, do not let the defeated soldiers approach, and go straight to Xihua Gate, a series of actions are like flowing water, and there is the style of a famous general.

But Geng Zhong will not be complacent because he is only the executor of this series of actions, and the decision-maker is someone else. The four outer gates of the Forbidden City have sent people, and the other three gates are all imperial history, only the noon gate is different here, and it is Sun Song, the head of the military department, who was beaten by Xie Hong on the street.

As Liu Daxia's right-hand man, Sun Song actually has some real talents, and his courage is even more extraordinary, so he was entrusted with important tasks by Liu Daxia.

And this time, he also invited himself to go out before his injury was healed, and with a feeling of shame, he maintained a very high vigilance, so he was able to command Geng Zhong to make a correct response at the first time, and even caused a lot of trouble to Xie Hong.

However, this is the end of what he can do, when the guards shook the mountains and shouted the slogan of long live, rushing up like a tide, whether it was Sun Song, who boasted of his resourcefulness, or Geng Zhong, who boasted of his unparalleled loyalty, both of them were shocked and completely panicked.

Where's the foreplay...... Sun Song was completely dumbfounded, the situation in front of him was not mentioned in the military book at all! It is said that when the two armies face each other, they have to talk to each other, even if they don't answer, they have to test it a little, and then engage in battle, which is generally the same routine.

But these teenagers are just like their leader, they are completely a group of crazy people, they just stood firm on their side, and they didn't have a good formation, and they rushed up with red eyes, this is the legendary half-crossing attack? Otherwise, how much hatred do you have to be like this? And...... It's supposed to be you who has a grudge, right?

The military book didn't say it, the teacher didn't teach it, and the scene in front of him was completely beyond his comprehension, so the Confucian general Sun Song was completely stunned, and opened his mouth twice, but he didn't say half a word.

"Resist, resist, resist Lao Tzu!" Geng Zhong is a martial artist in the end, although the order issued is biased towards the stream of consciousness, but there is finally an order issued, as for how the forbidden army executes, it can only depend on the comprehension of each person.

The forbidden army was actually dizzy, obviously everyone was on duty at the noon gate, and then after the mountains shook in the direction of Xihua Gate, everyone was driven to this side, saying that they wanted to exterminate a group of rebels led by Xie Hong.

At first, everyone's mood was quite relaxed, but they soon discovered the problem, because the military law of wartime was followed along the way, and even the colleagues of the forbidden army who came close to each other were killed.

So, everyone also woke up, obviously they were really going into battle, and it was indeed the rebels who made a big move, and a fight was inevitable.

Even if they woke up, the forbidden army didn't pay too much attention, after all, the other party was just a group of baby soldiers, everyone was fully armed, and they were in a dignified formation, how could they not win against a group of children?

It was precisely because of their relaxed mentality that when they faced the charge of the Guards, they were completely unprepared and directly dizzy. Isn't this the Forbidden City? Isn't the enemy rebellious? Uh, you seem to be a regular army, right? But looking at those fanatical teenagers, why do you think the role is reversed?

Those teenagers are called fanatics, this is called a death-defying home, will such a group of people be rebellious? Rebellion should be very weak in the Forbidden City, right? Even if you can muster up the courage, it is just the hideousness of the trapped beast, and it should be completely different from the frenzy you see in front of you.

was fainting, and the stream-of-consciousness military order commanded by Geng came, so the forbidden army was even more dizzy, resist? Who doesn't know how to resist it! These people on the other side are like seeing the enemy who killed their father, if they can't stand it, no one else wants to live.

Finally, he was well-trained, and he realized that it was a matter of life and death, so there was no confusion in the queue of the forbidden army, and they all stood firm, held their knives and guns, and waited to fight.

But soon, their hands and feet were not so steady. As the distance between the two sides approached, in the firelight, they had already seen the flag on the opposite side clearly, one was more surprising than the other, and the most surprising thing was of course the Yellow Dragon Flag, not the one painted by Zhengde himself, but the one that truly represented the majesty of the Son of Heaven!

"Rebellion has held the Son of Heaven hostage, and he wants to rebel! Don't panic all the sergeants, as long as you break the rebels in front of you, it will be the work of the sky, and those who capture and kill the thief Xie Hong will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the reward of the marquis will not be spared! Sun Song also saw the Yellow Dragon Banner and hurriedly offered the trick of lure to try to stabilize the morale of the army.

Temptation and temptation are unfavorable, and when they heard that they could get such a generous reward by defeating a group of teenagers, the forbidden army's eyes lit up and they regained their foothold.

Sun Song and Geng Zhong both secretly wiped a cold sweat, Geng Zhong was even more amazed by Sun Song, if it weren't for Lord Sun's thoughtfulness, he hid the generals and let them know that the opposite was the emperor, and then faced such a charge, I was afraid that he would have collapsed long ago.

"Shoot the arrows!"

There are not many clever archers in the forbidden army, and there is no accuracy in the dark night, but there are torches on both sides, and the Forbidden City is also brightly lit, so the visibility is okay, even the flag can be seen clearly, and the figure can also be seen.

"Bang! Boom! Bang ...... "The arrow rain is not very dense, Geng Zhong didn't ask for much damage to the other party, he just thought about frustrating the other party's sharpness, but he never thought that this round of arrow rain didn't even hurt anyone."

Although the enemy was charging intensively, it was vaguely divided into small teams, and in front of each team was an armor-piercing shield, these people used shields to block most of the arrow rain, and occasionally those who did not block it used their bodies to block, and as a result, all the bows and arrows were stopped, and the momentum of the charge did not decrease at all.

The sharp arrow formation arranged by Xie Hong was actually an illusion, and the reason why each squad maintained such a formation was mainly to allow the catchers to defend against long-range attacks in front, and it was not a serious formation at all.

But Geng Zhong didn't know this, he was already panicked, and the command just now was just subconsciously, and the result of this round of long-range attacks was once again beyond his expectations, and he panicked even more.

"Shoot again, shoot again!" This time the order is finally out of the stream of consciousness, but it is still far from the actual command of the arrow array.

The real command of the arrow array should be able to cover the arrow rain densely in an area like an arm, no matter how much protection there is, it will also cause intensive killing, just like the intensive attack of artillery in later generations.

Of course, such a requirement is too high, and such a command will only appear in the battle examples of those ancient famous generals described in the military books, even in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

But even if the requirements are lowered, the archers of the forbidden army are still slandered, so you have to say a way, you don't even explain the flat shooting, it's really overwhelming. If the distance is long, of course, it must be fired in a curved manner, but at the moment, the distance between the two armies is already within a few dozen steps, and flat shooting is also lethal enough.

The archers were sneering on the side, while stretching their bows and arrows, and when they raised their heads and were about to take the spot, they were stunned to find a bunch of black shadows flying from the opposite side, which seemed to be thrown by hand. It's really a bunch of hairy children, who can be hurt by throwing this kind of thing?

After all, the distance is still relatively far, and when those hidden weapons are thrown over, they are already at the end of the crossbow, and the archers have better eyesight, and they all scold and crook their heads and dodge; And some of the ordinary forbidden soldiers were smashed, but fortunately, they were wearing armor, but they only hurt a little, and they were not injured.

However, the explosion and fire that followed shocked the forbidden soldiers, it was a firearm!

That's what Xie Hong said about full firepower, sparing no ammunition, disrupting the enemy's position to the greatest extent, plus deterring the enemy's courage.

The forbidden army has not yet recovered from the explosion of the first round, and the second round of earth-shattering thunder has arrived, then the third round, and the fourth round...... In this attack, hundreds of earth-shattering thunderbolts were used, and the explosion points were also distributed in many places in the forbidden army's array, and the originally well-organized queue suddenly became full of holes.

And at this moment, the vanguard of the Guards arrived!
