Chapter 763: Defend the Wenhua Palace
readx; The situation was urgent, and Zhu Youzhen immediately arranged the defense of the Wenhua Palace. The Wenhua Hall of the Pen, Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info is long from north to south, short from east to west, and the main gate Wenhua Gate is open in the south, which is naturally the focus of defense. Now Zhang Weixian has more than 30 family members under him, plus more than a dozen Wuxiang left guards who are willing to be loyal to the emperor, there are about 50 people in total, and Zhu Youzhen arranged more than half of them to guard the palace gate. The rest were scattered within the other three palace walls to prevent the rebels from climbing over the walls.
Zhang Weixian also wanted to go out of the Wenhua Hall to gather more guards, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "Now that there is a big chaos inside and outside the imperial city, they may not be willing to obey the edict." Even if you come reluctantly, you can't work together, but get in the way. ”
Zhang Weixian thought about it reasonably, so he had to escort Zhu Youzhen with Yan Ling, Red Lady, Xu Youliang and others. After another while, the shouts of killing inside and outside the Imperial City became louder, and they gradually approached the Forbidden City. Zhu Youzhen knew that this must be the five military camps controlled by the eunuch party, and although the Beicheng Terracotta Division and the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division were edicted, they were not regular troops after all, and their combat effectiveness was not much stronger than that of ordinary prefectures and counties, so of course they could not resist the attack of the five military camps. Now only by hoping that the Qin soldiers can come to the city as soon as possible and distract the attention of the eunuchs, can he have a glimmer of life.
After another moment, there was a sound of weapons clashing and shouting and fighting in the direction of Donghua Gate, and then Zhang Fujiading, who was lying on the wall and was in charge of lookout, shouted in horror: "Donghua Gate has been breached!" ”
Zhang Weixian, Yan Ling and others hurriedly leaned out of the wall to watch, only to see a defeated army of about forty or fifty people fighting and retreating in the direction of Wenhua Palace, followed by a large number of officers and soldiers of the five military camps with bright armor, as well as thugs from Dongchang and Jinyiwei, swarming in from Donghua Gate, brandishing swords and guns in pursuit.
"Grandpa, isn't that a young master?" One of the housekeepers suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, after the end of the defeated army, a military general flew up and down with a long sword in his hand, slightly blocking the momentum of the chasing army, it was Zhang Zhiji, the son of Zhang Weixian and the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
But the people and horses behind him are still surging like a tide, how can Zhang Zhiji resist alone. In an instant, he was surrounded by more than a dozen factory guard swordsmen, and he was in danger.
Zhang Weixian saw that his son might splash blood in the Forbidden City at any time, so of course he wanted to rush out to rescue. But now that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of escorting, he did not dare to take half a step away, so he had to hold back his tears and shouted: "Extreme! My Zhang clan has been loyal to the emperor from generation to generation, you must do your best to protect and kill the thief, don't lose your father's face! ”
Zhang Zhiji listened to the blood pouring pupils, and his subordinates suddenly sped up, cutting down several enemies in an instant. But there are too many chaotic soldiers, and he can't get out at all, and he can't support it when he sees it!
"Bang bang bang!" There were three explosions on the palace wall of the Wenhua Palace, and the three Dongchang fans around Zhang Zhiji immediately burst into their brains and fell to the ground. Before everyone could react, there were three more explosions, and three more brocade guards died!
The rebels surrounding Zhang Zhiji were shocked for a while, and they thought that Zhang Zhiji had some demon tricks, so they retreated one after another. Zhang Zhiji took this opportunity to hurriedly run wildly, caught up with the forty or fifty men in front, and shouted breathlessly outside the Wenhua Gate: "Zhang Zhiji, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the Northern City, is escorted by the edict!" ”
"Put it in!" Zhu Youzhen urgently ordered Zhang Weixian to open the palace door and put Zhang Zhiji's more than 50 remnants of the defeated army into the Wenhua Palace. As soon as the palace gate was closed, the pursuers arrived. If it is half a minute slower, Zhang Zhiji and the others will definitely be surrounded and annihilated!
It was only then that Zhang Zhiji knew that Xu Youliang and two snipers had just shot with a bird gun and he could be rescued. Of course, he didn't know Xu Youliang and the others, so he only gave them a grateful look, and hurriedly said to Zhu You: "Your Majesty, the five military camps are reversed!" Led by Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, and Wang Chaofengqin, the eunuch of the supervising army, they have already broken through the four gates of the imperial city, and they have broken through the Donghua Gate just now. The ministers are outnumbered, and most of the subordinates are lost! ”
"Where are the gates to the north?" Zhu Youzhen asked anxiously.
Zhang Zhi shook his head in trepidation and said, "The minister only cares about guarding the four gates of the imperial city, and has lost contact with the guards at Desheng Gate and other places. There aren't many soldiers there, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Youzhen's heart sank suddenly, secretly thinking that the four gates of the northern city were afraid that they had fallen into the hands of the rebels, and it was impossible for the Qin soldiers to enter the city from the north. Now he can only hope that his father-in-law, Rui'er's father, Xiaoyao Bo Zhou Kui, can hold on a little longer and wait until Qin Bing arrives!
At this time, there were more and more chaotic soldiers gathered outside the palace walls of the Wenhua Palace, but they did not dare to attack for a while. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly redistributed the defense, ordering Zhang Weixian to guard the east, Zhang Zhiji to guard the west, Yan Ling to guard the north, Xu Youliang to guard the most important Wenhua Gate in the south, and he and the red lady were in the middle to rescue.
After a short silence, an ugly voice like a broken gong suddenly sounded outside: "The eunuch Wang Dynasty of the three battalions of the supervising army is escorted by the army!" The people inside quickly open the palace door! ”
Zhang Weixian was extremely angry, and scolded: "Wang Chaofeng, is there such a protection for the escort? You clearly want to hurt Your Majesty! ”
"Zhang Weixian, you are such a person, do you still want to resist?" Wang Chaofeng smiled sympathetically, "Our family has been ordered by the nine-thousand-year-old Jun to arrest you, a chaotic party, and those who know each other should quickly open the door and obediently hand over Your Majesty, maybe you can leave a whole corpse; Otherwise, all the men, women, and children in the mansion will be executed! ”
By this time, the Forbidden City had fallen into complete chaos. In the four guards in the palace, Zhang Weixian's son-in-law, Qiu Qisheng, the commander of Wu Xiang's left guard, was seriously injured by Zhang Weixian and detained in the British Mansion because he refused to obey the edict; The commanders of Teng Xiang's left guard and Teng Xiang's right guard saw that the situation was not good, and they had slipped out of the palace; Wu Xiang's right guard commander made Liu Xuance even more inclined to the eunuch party.
The guards of the four guards saw that Zhang Weixian and Wang Chaofeng accused each other of being against the party, and they didn't know who to help, so most of them scattered in a hurry. The five army camps that followed Wang Chaofeng into the Forbidden City had at least one or two thousand rebels, and the balance of strength between the two sides was very large.
Zhu Youzhen knew that a vicious battle was inevitable, and thought to himself, "Capture the thief and capture the king first", it is better to give the dynasty a moment first, maybe he can disrupt the rebels!
He motioned Xu Youliang and the two snipers to get ready with his eyes, and deliberately shouted: "I am here, all the troops are listening!" If you want to escort the driver, take fifty steps back; Those who want to kill the monarch will follow the dynasty to attack! ”
As soon as the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Military Battalion heard the emperor's words, they immediately hesitated. Because Wang Chaofeng was under the banner of "escort", he could drive them into the Forbidden City. This "killing the king" is a great crime that will destroy the nine clans, who is willing to bear this notoriety?
Seeing that his subordinates hesitated, Wang Chaofeng was so anxious that he shouted loudly: "The person who spoke is not Your Majesty, Your Majesty has already let them hijack!" Come on, let's get in! ”
Before the words fell, three black hole muzzles had already stretched out from the wall, and they were aimed at Wang Chaofeng and fired with a bang!
