Chapter 670: Golden Light Sprinkles the Ground
The northern city was broken, and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army of the brigade poured into Chang'an City like a tide, and spread out of the city along the straight street, no one would doubt that it would not be long before the people of one hundred and eight squares would surrender to the feet of His Royal Highness King Yan, and the defenders on more than a dozen city gates would bow to King Yan.
Liu Hongji's subordinates had already surrendered, and the heavy defense of the northern city, which looked as strong as Yanshan, changed its flag in only half a day. Liu Hongji's subordinates numbered about more than 10,000 people, except for more than 1,000 people who died in the battle on the city wall, some of them escaped from their military uniforms and hid in the homes of the people and did not dare to come out.
The more than 10,000 elite soldiers under the command of Zhang Gongjin, of which 2,000 cavalry became a lone army after killing out of the city, and were slaughtered by the Yanyun army unexpectedly, and they were not even given a chance to surrender. The eight gates of the northern city were all occupied by the Yan Yun army, and along these eight city gates, the Yan Yun army rushed in unstoppably like a tide.
The streets of Chang'an are all the same planning and layout, in just one hour, the palace city, the fang market outside the imperial city were all occupied by Yan Yunjun, the palace city and the imperial city are like an isolated island surrounded by the vast sea, it seems lonely and pitiful.
At the same time that Chang'an City was broken, Duguxue, the Shangshu of the Tang Criminal Department, suddenly assigned all the servants of the Criminal Department, and announced that he had maintained law and order in the city by the order of the Tang Emperor, so as to prevent anyone from surrendering to the rebels, and the homes of the important courtiers of the Six Ministries and Jiuqing were sealed, and no one was allowed to go out.
Although the officers doubted the authenticity of this order, at this time, even the most stupid people understood the hidden meaning behind Dugu Xue's order. Now that the overall situation has been decided, everyone has to think about their future. It was only at this time that people realized that King Yan had made so many arrangements in the city in order to enter the city today.
Dugu Xue led people to seal the homes of at least a dozen courtiers, and then quickly attacked the treasury with hundreds of secret spies. Affix a seal, and whoever dares to approach will be killed.
When the heavily armored Modao battalion of the majestic sea advanced to the gate of the Xuanwumen Palace, the Tang army that was still resisting stubbornly was less than a thousand people. Zhang Gongjin stood at the front of the team with a gloomy face, looking at the heavy armor covered in blood, his face changing.
When Luo Shixin entered the city, he saw the several war groups surrounded by the Tang army, which were Wu Bushan and Wan Yulou and others, Wu Bushan and Wang Qinian were besieged by the Tang army after rescuing Wan Yulou, and they did not break out of the encirclement by rushing left and right, and at this time, the Mo Dao heavy armor of the majestic sea entered the city and rescued it.
When Yan Wang Li Xian entered the city, Wan Yulou, who had at least twenty injuries on his body, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, like a demon who had been suffocating underground for too long and had not breathed fresh air. He glanced at Wu Bushan, who had no more wounds on his body than him, and then looked at Wang Qinian, who was lying on the ground and didn't know whether he was tired or too frightened to stand up, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing so freely.
"God is so fucking face-saving, we can't die like this."
He shouted triumphantly, unscrupulously.
Wu Bushan had too many wounds on his body, so that a small movement could involve the wound, and he couldn't help grinning. He glanced at Wan Yulou and didn't bother to pay attention to this fat man, but the joy in his heart was no less than that of Wan Yulou. The feeling of surviving this kind of mortal situation is so fucking cool.
"Lao Wang, don't fucking pretend to be dead......"
Wan Yulou grinned while grinning in pain: "Lao Tzu doesn't believe that you will be tired like this, is it so frightened that you don't even have the strength to speak?" ”
"Fart!"
Wang Qinian, who was lying on the ground in a large font, glared at him, and then said very seriously: "Lao Tzu is cool and doesn't want to speak." ”
"I'm different!"
Wan Yulou struggled to sit up straight, looked at King Yan's side, and said with a smile: "Lao Tzu is cool now, I just want to shout." ”
Wu Bushan took great pains to touch the half-section of a spear from his side, and then took advantage of Wan Yulou's unsparing strength to stab him in the middle of his buttocks: "Lao Tzu fulfills you, let you shout and scream......"
……
……
The palace gate was in front of them, and the soldiers of the Yanyun Army standing under the palace city had pride on their faces. They looked at the Forbidden Army on the city gate with their chins held high, and they could even see the terrified expressions on the faces of the Forbidden Army soldiers.
"Yan Wang's will!"
Xiong Kuohai raised his head and shouted at the city gate: "Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will kill the whole clan, if the city gate is not opened within a stick of incense, everyone will be punished according to resistance!" ”
This sentence immediately caused an uproar among the forbidden troops on the Xuanwu Gate, and they all looked at each other, and they all subconsciously turned their eyes to Xia Fengchun, the deputy commander who commanded the city instead of Gao Liansheng, the commander of the forbidden army.
The corners of Xia Fengchun's mouth twitched a few times, and he glanced back at the main hall of Taiji Palace, and his eyes were full of pain.
At the same time, the remnants of the Tang army that had been forced into a street were surrounded by the Yanyun Legion, and thousands of archers had already drawn their hard bows, waiting for an order to shoot these Tang soldiers who were still resisting. On the courtyard wall and on the house, there are all archers of Yan Yunjun, and the Tang army trapped on the street has been cornered.
"Guogong!"
Deputy General Deng Lei glanced at Zhang Gongjin and said cautiously: "The brothers have ...... I have done my best. ”
"I know."
Zhang Gongjin suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became relaxed: "Let the brothers surrender, we have indeed done our best." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Deng Lei felt a little incredible. Previously, Guogong was tough enough, and repeatedly mentioned that he would rather die than retreat, and he had been standing in front of the soldiers to personally command, if it weren't for that, the soldiers would have surrendered long ago. But now, just when everyone thought that the Guild had ordered a death battle, he said the word surrender so easily and simply, and there was a trace of pain on his face.
But Deng Lei would not be stupid enough to ask again, he immediately turned around and shouted: "General order!" ”
His eyes looked around, looked at the bloodied soldiers, and shouted, "It's down!" ”
"Down?"
"It's down!"
The soldiers were taken aback for a moment, and then shouted cheers. Some people couldn't help jumping high, and then their weapons were thrown to the ground.
"It's down!"
"We're down!"
As they discarded their weapons, the archers of the Yan Yun Army who surrounded them relaxed their bowstrings and inserted their feather arrows into the quiver, their eyes full of relief and joy. In any case, not having to fight is good news to celebrate. They jumped down from the courtyard wall houses, and some even patted the shoulders of the Tang soldiers they didn't know to show a bright smile. They gathered up their weapons on the ground and were in the mood to say a few words to the soldiers who had surrendered.
"Where are you, brother?"
"I'm from Hedong County, what about you?"
"I'm from Dongping County."
"Dongping County is good...... There is Juyeze in Dongping County, and there is Yanyunzhai in Juyeze...... There is the king of swallows. ”
"yes, but it's okay......"
The victorious man patted the defeated man on the shoulder, smiled and said, "From today onwards, you are also the people of King Yan." ”
"I just hope that King Yan will not be guilty."
Someone said nervously.
"No, His Royal Highness King Yan said that those who surrender are not guilty, and you will be fine."
This kind of scene is surprising, and no one would believe that not long ago, they were still fighting bloodily and seemed to be endless. This kind of scene makes one have to wonder, did this war really exist?
Zhang Gongjin slowly sat down on a stone bench on the side of the road, let out a comfortable breath, reached out to pass the wine bag and poured a sip. Looking at the happy expressions of those soldiers, he couldn't help but pick the corners of his mouth.
In fact, he, like Liu Hongji, is not optimistic about this war. But his choice was diametrically opposed to Liu Hongji's, Liu Hongji passively resisted, and even ordered the soldiers to surrender at the last moment. And he fought with his men and horses until the last moment, and finally surrendered to King Yan as a last resort.
But only Zhang Gongjin himself knows what the purpose of this is.
A courtier who does not fight to protect the lord...... How could it be valued by the new owner of this capital?
If he is really loyal to Li Yuan...... Since he had obtained Li Yuan's secret order, how could he turn a blind eye to Liu Hongji's passive deployment on the city wall?
……
……
Xia Fengchun took one last look at the direction of the main hall of Taiji Palace, and then respectfully made a big salute: "Your Majesty...... The minister is guilty. ”
Three kneeling and nine knocking, after the ceremony was completed, Xia Fengchun stood up and gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Open the palace door!" ”
As soon as these three words came out, the forbidden army on the city wall suddenly let out a low cheer of relief, and the order was quickly conveyed, and soon this cheer spread from the palace gate to the city. The forbidden army lifted the door barrier with unprecedented speed, and then struggled to pull the palace gate of the Xuanwu Gate open.
With a creaking sound, the heavy palace door gradually opened.
The gate opened, and the forbidden soldiers in the Taiji Palace threw their weapons to the ground with a clatter, and then knelt down along the sides of the road.
Xiong Kuohai gave an order, and the heavily armored Mo Dao Battalion, whose iron armor was still bleeding down, strode into the palace gate. The queue is neat and murderous.
The sound of neat footsteps echoed in the Taiji Palace, and the iron armor on the heavily armored Mo knife hand made a gurgling sound when walking, like a hymn to victory.
On both sides of the road leading to the massive palace, kneeling were filled with the forbidden army that had surrendered. And in front of the door of that hall, there are thousands of palace maids, eunuchs, harem concubines, and forbidden palace guards. Their eyes were full of fear, constantly looking for comfort in the faces of those around them. But to their disappointment, everyone was equally frightened and uneasy.
Especially the palace maids and concubines in the harem were even more frightened. They really didn't dare to imagine what would happen to King Yan after they entered the palace. The emperor will no longer be the emperor, and what status do they have in the harem? If King Yan gave them all to those soldiers who smelled of blood, what difference would it be from dying?
In the eyes of everyone in horror, the palace gate suddenly became quiet.
Escorted by hundreds of elite heavy armored cavalry, King Yan, who was riding a big black horse, slowly entered the palace gate. Behind the heavy cavalry, there was a neat queue of elite foot soldiers of the Yanyun Army.
At this moment, the thick dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.
The sun peeked out from behind the clouds, and the brilliant sunlight poured into Miyagi like gold. Coincidentally, the cracks in the clouds happened to shine the sun behind King Yan. As he slowly moved forward, the golden light spread out after him towards the palace.
Spectacular.
