Chapter 0533: Sword Intent Locks the Throat
In the absence of moats and urns, there is no winch lifting suspension bridge gate, or vertical jackbox, and there is no double inner and outer door, this ordinary internal and external opening and closing city gate is very easy to open, only need to remove the big stone strip that holds the city gate, knock off the three big iron bolts of the gate, and the city gate will naturally open to both sides of the interior.

Under Yang Xuanli's continuous roar, there was a commotion outside, the city gate finally stopped moving, the soldiers worked together, and the action was fast to beat the big iron bolt, when the last one fell through the hole on its own, the city gate was violently opened, and the soldiers behind the door could not stand on their feet, and then surged to both sides.
The first to enter the door was the huge iron-clad ramlet of the rushing car, the pointed part was flattened and flipped like a blooming chrysanthemum, and under the push of hundreds of soldiers behind it, it rumbled inward and rushed straight in, and instantly burst into the city.
"Brethren! Defend the city gate......" Yang Xuanli shouted, and Sun Zaiying each led a thousand soldiers to guard the inside of the city gate, and after the car entered the open space inside the gate, the forbidden soldiers outside cheered and surged in, and after a little assembly, they were quickly divided into two teams and went straight to the two Yongdao crossings in the city wall to block, so that the enemy army at the head of the wall could not rush down smoothly for a while, and could only take the west gate in the south.
At this time, at the head of the city, the Zhou army outside the city also found that Le Pingyang threw down the signal of the big wood, and immediately rushed up the ladder after a slight pause, and the momentum of climbing the city was more rapid than before, and the iron horn with a big iron hook at the head of the city was thrown down, but it was not pulled up, and half of the soldiers who picked up the ladder immediately grabbed the hook, shouted that the defenders above answered, and vacated the vacant seat of the ladder, so that more brothers could climb up.
The defenders were divided into several battles to meet the Zhou army to the city, and the Khitan soldiers who had just retreated to rest saw a daze, and soon jumped up and yelled, trying to rush forward to drive away the Han army, but at this time Bian Lingxun was prepared, and Le Pingyang each led five hundred soldiers to guard both ends of the horse road, and the Liao soldiers were unable to break through in a short time.
Above and below the city, there was a great chaos almost at the same time, and the sudden backlash of the Han army caught Yelu Chusi off guard. When he came out with more than 1,000 soldiers in the city tower, the forbidden army under the city gate had continuously rushed into the city, and controlled the Yongdaokou to kill the city. And the forbidden army outside the city also landed in small groups, and he had no way to rush to Yongdao.
"Da Lang-kun! Can't hold it! Let's go! The general of the personal guard was shocked, and he and his soldiers held Yelu Chusi to the death and did not let go.
"Warriors! ...... with me to kill the Zhou army" Yelu Chusi was furious, shouted unwillingly, turned to the south side of the city tower surrounded by his own soldiers, and joined the remnants of the Xianxi Gate, and the troops could be safely evacuated, but the situation here was also very dangerous, many forbidden army squads had climbed the city from the cloud ladder, or dozens or more than 100 formed formations to defend themselves, and the support of the cloud ladder supplemented the death battle without retreating.
Soon, Hujie's left wing are waiting for Zhang Guangzan, Liu Xinghuai led the front army into the city, all the way to the land of no one, when Luo Yanhuan's general flag then rushed into the Qing Jin Gate, more than 5,000 iron horsemen from Guang'anmen Street straight to the city, along the way encountered the Liao army immediately killed, first divided the troops to seize the Nanjing Garrison Mansion, granaries and arsenals.
Zhang Lingduo led 5,000 infantry into the city, and immediately divided the Pingshuo Fang, Yongning Fang, and Guang'an Fang in the north, and when he arrived at Ganquanfang, he divided his troops to capture the north gate of the palace city, controlled the east corner tower, and attacked Guang'anmen, Shihefang, Huayanfang and other city centers.
When the relevant military facilities in the northern city were occupied, Zhang Yue and Han Tong also led the Chinese army into the city, climbed the high bell tower through Guang'an Gate, and looked down on the dotted blocks in the city.
Not Zhang Guangzan and Zhang Lingduo went in which direction, so watched and waited for half an hour, the south of the palace city Xuanhe Gate finally rose to the sky, and then to the Andong Gate behind the Zongbin Fang, Tongma Fang, Yingchun Gate outside the Lulongfang area, there are also smoke pillars gradually rising, depending on the situation, this is the remnants of the Liao army fleeing to the Andong Gate and Yingchun Gate, and setting fire to block the pursuit of the forbidden army while fleeing.
"Herald Zhang Guanghan! Immediately show himself the west gate into the city to put out the fire, and immediately destroy the remnants of the enemy, don't take prisoners! Zhang Yue shouted with a calm face, and the Chinese army herald heard the order and left.
"The Left-behind Mansion has been taken! It's getting late, Your Majesty may not enter the city, why don't we go and see what important people and things are? Han Tong asked.
"Luo Yanhuan seems to have entered, the official office, they will know what to do, we should control Miyagi!" Zhang Yue looked at the towering palace wall in the south and smiled.
"Speaking of which, Zhao Kuangyin hit Danfengmen, and now I'm afraid I'll also enter the city, right? Our Guards are not subordinate to him! Han Tong guessed with a smile, obviously he also had some worries in his heart, afraid of encountering a conflict head-on, which happened many times during the Huainan War.
"Probably! He beats him, we beat ours, if there is anything good or valuable, whoever gets it first counts, right? Zhang Yue smiled indifferently, and led his own soldiers down the bell tower first, and Han Tong followed down to gather the soldiers, except for those who killed the enemy by themselves and fell behind or scattered, there was only one army of 2,500 people left.
The two led their troops to enter the palace city through the north gate, entered the palace through the north gate, and entered the Jianing Hall along the long corridor, which was empty and there was no one inside, and the soldiers searched again, caught a few old Liao old servants to lead the way, and went directly south to the Liao Emperor to listen to the main palace of Yuanhe Palace.
Go around the palace first, because Emperor Liao went south to Youzhou less, and there were only a few guards who sprinkled and swept the inner servants, and then found nothing valuable in the hall where the subordinates were received, and when they turned to the main hall used in the front court, they saw some forbidden soldiers in groups of three or five, walking and stopping curiously inside, wandering around.
At this time, a medium-sized ironclad officer turned out from behind the tall courtyard pillar not far from the entrance of the front hall, holding a long sword upside down in his hand, revealing a blood-stained blade behind his shoulder.
"Which one are you, and who will the Lord be?" Zhang Yue beckoned and asked, as a result, the officer in front of him stood still very rudely, tilted his head and squinted at him, shook his hand, and a circle of dazzling light shone in front of him, and the long sword pulled a sword flower, and inserted it into the scabbard of his left hand with a choking sound, the movement was as fast as lightning, and the sword blade entered the sheath with extreme precision. Zhang Yue was startled, and suddenly his face changed, his slender eyes narrowed, but his hands on his back shook subconsciously, but he didn't move, and said sharply: "What are you looking at?" Back! ”
"Labor and management are the main generals! The scattered members in front of the palace all commanded Wang Yansheng! The officer glanced at Zhang Yue coldly, maybe he recognized his identity, but because his official position was too low, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop! Ben Gong ordered you to lead the way! "A small military envoy can't get into Zhang Yue's eyes, but he dares to face the provocation, this is death. And the moment he shook his hand and held the sword just now, the gorgeous sword flower was sharp, and it locked his throat with a sword intent that seemed to be nothing, although it was only a flash, but it could already be seen that this person was not kind to himself and was full of killing intent.
Since this Wang Yansheng has entered the Yuanhe Palace, then Zhao Kuangyin may also be nearby, which is interesting. To this day, Zhang Yue's official position is still above Zhao Kuangyin, if he obeys any military order? Or disobedient? Zhang Yue is looking forward to it......
