Chapter 318: The Prince is not on the road

Seeing that the suspension bridge was lowered and the gate of the urn city was opened, Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu said in a low voice: "Starling, we have come with us, we can't get any credit, right?" ”

Eighth Elder Brother Yinxi glanced at him and said angrily, "What do you mean?" Do you want to lead the cavalry to attack the city? ”

"With the navy on it, the cavalry is not unable to attack the city." Yin Yu chuckled: "At this time, it is a great opportunity to attract people's hearts, whether we can rescue those officials or not, let's rush into the city and take a turn, not only to show off, but also to let those officials know that we are taking the lead to save them." ”

"What the fourteenth brother said was to capture Fuchengmen, but he didn't say to enter the city." Eighth Elder Brother Yinxu groaned: "If we anger the prince and kill hostages because of this, it will be difficult for us to explain in front of the fourteenth brother." ”

"Why don't you just slip around, what a big deal, the generals below don't listen to the greetings, and they won't just pass by." Ninth Elder Brother Yinyu said indifferently.

This is also, you can't come in vain, you haven't built an inch, and it's not easy to explain to the generals below, Yinxi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Let Oro Dai lead the troops, anyway, he has a holiday with the old fourteen." ”

"It's still starlings who are thoughtful." Yin Yu said with a smile.

Before the six mountain howitzers were loaded on horseback, the 5,000 cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion rushed out and swept into the urn city like a whirlwind.

Yinzhen's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and the starling brother was also a little anxious, were he afraid that he wouldn't give him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions? How many people will die in this time?

Long Keduo was hanging from the city wall at this time, and ran in a hurry, Yinzhen knew that he must have something important, and immediately urged the horse to meet him, Long Keduo gasped and said: "Fourteenth master, the last general just asked a prisoner, and the prince Yijing put all the officials and clan relatives who were held hostage back to their respective mansions. ”

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, since the inner city was closed yesterday, there has been no news coming out, he also thought that those courtiers and clansmen who were held hostage were still imprisoned in Di'anmen, so he planned to occupy Fuchengmen first, thinking that it would be used as a bridgehead, since these people were released from the mansion and broke through Fuchengmen, wouldn't they be able to rescue them safely?

Xiangdao here, he immediately ordered, "Order, regardless of the cost, forcibly attack, you must take Fuchengmen as soon as possible!" After speaking, he said to Long Keduo: "All the soldiers in the infantry camp, immediately enter the urn city, as soon as the city is broken, immediately enter the inner city to maintain order and calm people's hearts, remember to pay attention, do not kill prisoners indiscriminately!" ”

"Hey, the last general is commanded." Long Keduo bowed, got up and said, "What about the palace?" ”

Yinzhen knew that he was asking the prince, he was afraid that the starling would catch the prince, so he couldn't help but groan slightly, the soldiers and horses loyal to the prince were only 12,000 people brought by Tianjin, and the more than 10,000 people and horses in the capital might not go all the way with him to the black, Fuchengmen battled, I don't know how much I would lose, but it is expected that there will still be thousands of people.

Once the city is broken, what decision will the prince make? Retreat into the Imperial City? It may not be big, the inner city can't be defended, and he can't hold the imperial city either, he still has this self-knowledge. So retreat to the palace? It is also impossible, there are still thousands of soldiers and horses of the three banners of the Internal Affairs Office in the palace, and if he retreats into the palace, he will face a situation of being attacked from both sides, and he will not take this risk.

Then there is only escape, which way will he take to escape? It is impossible to go east, there are still a lot of follow-up soldiers and horses in Tongzhou, and it is even more impossible to go west, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are blocked here, to the south, it is an outer city, and it is estimated that the possibility is also small, so there is only to the north!

Xiangdao here, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Give me the cavalry in your hand, and order Yande, once the city is broken, immediately rush to Deshengmen, Andingmen and join me." ”

"Honorable Order!" Ronkodo was relieved and turned to give the order.

Da Chun was very worried and said: "Master, there are only more than 4,000 cavalry in the infantry camp, and the prince has nearly 10,000 people no matter how he says, will it be too risky?" "It doesn't matter." Yinzhen chuckled and said: "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave?" As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, how many remnants of the rest of the horses can he gather under panic? How many cavalry are there? How many foot soldiers? There are 4,000 cavalry tails to chase and kill, enough! After speaking, he commanded: "You lead a thousand cavalry to the north of Desheng Gate and Anding Gate to observe, to see where the prince is assembled?" I led a large team of people to arrive later, and Fuchengmen Yijing didn't need to look at it again. ”

"Honorable Order." Da Chun pulled out the horse's head and ran away to the cavalry.

At the head of Fuchengmen, Yande saw the Xiao cavalry battalion rushing into the urn city and shooting at the city tower, and couldn't help but scold, but he was afraid that the casualties of the Xiao cavalry battalion were too great, Yinzhen blamed, and no longer waited for artillery, and immediately ordered the entire navy to advance steadily, and attack from both sides at the same time.

This time, Feng Changgui's pressure immediately increased, the cavalry below was constantly running and shooting, the arrows were like a torrential rain, and the navy on the city wall was even more terrifying, as soon as the gunfire rang out, it was not broken, and the wooden planks and column heads hit by dense lead bullets popped, and the screams were endless.

A group of defenders were already timid by the navy, at this time when they saw that this wave of attacks was more fierce than before, they couldn't help but panic, not to mention that this killing came to kill, killing their own families, and a group of soldiers had long been unwilling to fight anymore, they were not like those who were officials, who were emperors, they were all small soldiers, and they were unwilling, and the hands and feet of the people naturally slowed down unconsciously.

Feng Changgui was also born in the old battalion, and at a glance, he found that something was not quite right, but at this time, he didn't dare to kill people again, for fear of causing a mutiny, so he shouted at the moment: "Everyone hold on for a quarter of an hour, the reinforcements from Xizhimen will arrive soon, the prince will ascend the throne, and everyone will be promoted to three levels in a row!" ”

The words fell, the "boom boom" cannon sound again, but it was the gunners of the mountain howitzers who set up artillery bombardment in the urn city, and the city tower was on the gunsmoke everywhere, poured a piece, a group of guards at this time there also took care of what official was promoted to the third level, it was important to protect the life first, hula, immediately ran to the city tower, this someone took the lead, who would be stupid to stay in the city tower to eat cannonballs, and escaped when he landed.

When Feng Changgui saw this situation, he knew that Yijing was powerless to return to the sky, so he had to follow the soldiers and flee down the city tower.

As soon as Yande heard Yinzhen's order, he rushed to Desheng Gate and Anding Gate to meet, opened the city gate, and rushed to the nearby Desheng Gate with three thousand navy along the city wall.

Under the Fucheng Gate, the three thousand reinforcements of Xizhimen were ordered to just arrive, and they encountered a large number of routs swarming out, and they were immediately scattered in formation, seeing that the city gate was slowly twisted, they all hesitated, and at this time, the prince's herald rushed to and shouted: "The prince has an order, all the soldiers and horses are assembled at Andingmen." ”

As soon as they heard this order, the rebels and reinforcements immediately let the sheep go, and scattered in a hurry, and they all spread their feet and ran to the northern city.

Oro Dai led 5,000 cavalry, originally only prepared to go to Xi'an Gate to go around, as soon as he saw that the other party Yijing was defeated, he saw Hunt Xinxi when he landed, and led a group of cavalry to cover up and kill.

As soon as I heard the sound of horses' hooves like thunder behind me, how could a group of routs not know how powerful, they immediately fled to the small alleys and alleys, and those who couldn't escape immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Prince Yinren got out of the palace, gathered people all the way, and hurried to Andingmen, his heart was angry and bitter, there was no xiangdao, only three days after entering the capital, he was driven out of the capital by the old fourteen in embarrassment, galloping all the way, he meditated all the way, where to go? If Kangxi is not dead, the northwest and northeast are dead ends, Kangxi's prestige is too high in the northwest, and with an edict, he will be hunted down and killed by the Mongolian tribes in the northwest, not to mention the northeast, unless he enters the mountains to be a savage. …,

But if Kangxi Yijing dies, then, with the identity of the crown prince, he can recruit cavalry from various Mongolian tribes in the northwest, form a large army, and then kill back to the capital.

Fuchengmen was breached, the cavalry of the cavalry battalion pursued and killed the routs all over the city, and the infantry battalion quickly controlled the main streets under the leadership of Long Keduo to implement martial law in case of riots, and with the gradual advancement of more than 10,000 soldiers in the infantry battalion, the streets were quickly controlled.

When the princes, ministers, and nobles of the clan in the inner city saw this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately organized the servants of their respective mansions to strictly guard the streets where their respective mansions were located.

The combination of the two phases, the entire capital did not have much chaos, and soon gradually calmed down.

Chaoyang Gate.

When Ma Gaoming, the minister of the firearms battalion, led the three thousand cavalry of the firearms battalion to arrive, just as the prince's soldiers and horses were evacuated, looking for someone to enter the city to investigate, and heard that the fourteenth master led his troops to attack Fuchengmen, and Fuchengmen was lost in less than an hour, he couldn't help but feel abrupt, which was too unbelievable.

Immediately afterwards, the news came that the prince had lost Andingmen, and Ma Gaoming couldn't help but feel a headache, is it good to enter the city? Or is it better not to go into the city? This entry into the city is tantamount to standing in the camp of the fourteenth elder brother, and he was hesitating, but he heard the sentinel report, "The fifteenth elder brother and the sixteenth elder brother are coming to visit." ”

Ma Gaoming heard this, this fifteenth elder brother is from the fourteenth party, and everyone in the capital knows it, is it a lobbyist sent by the fourteenth elder brother? I didn't see it, and I was about to go back to the tent to dodge, but I saw two fast horses flying in, and when I looked up, I knew that it was the two masters who had arrived, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that he couldn't hide, and he hurriedly greeted him to ask for a salute, but his heart was strange, how could these two masters run to the back.

Fifteen and sixteen since the Tianjin Revolution, has not returned to Tianjin, but along the river to inquire about the whereabouts of Kangxi and Yinzhen, if these two people are unfortunately killed, their brothers' life will be sad, so after robbing two horses, they have been looking for downstream along the river, but luckily escaped the prince's mutiny.

Then the two brothers followed the pro-military camp and the forward battalion to the capital to catch up, yesterday in the middle of the night to arrive in Tongzhou, after hearing the news that the navy went north to Beijing, the fifteenth elder brother Yinyu wanted to fight for the fourteenth brother for a man, a great contribution, pro-military battalion, forward battalion, both of them tried, failed, put xiwang on the firearms battalion.

The fifteenth elder brother Yinyu saw the city gate open from a distance, and there were no soldiers guarding the city, and he secretly wondered in his heart, and when Ma Gaoming got up, he asked: "Lord Gao, what is the situation in the city?" ”

Ma Gaoming said in his heart, these two masters were still behind me, it seems that they are not the lobbyists of the fourteenth elder brother, so they put their minds at ease, and immediately told the situation they knew as they were, as soon as they heard that the fourteenth brother Yijing entered Beijing, and the prince was defeated and walked away from Andingmen, the fifteenth elder brother Yinyu's heart jumped, and a bold idea came out, and he immediately asked: "The city gate is wide open, why is the tall man lingering at the door?" ”

Ma Gaoming really couldn't talk about this matter, so he couldn't help but say haha: "I'm waiting for the follow-up troops to enter the city together." ”

The fifteenth elder brother Yinyu smiled and said: "My two brothers have been taken care of by Concubine Rong since they were young in the palace, Concubine Rong and you are cousins, and I will give you a great wealth today." ”

Great wealth! Ma Gaoming's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but look at Yinlu in confusion, the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu was very clever, and when he heard that the fifteenth brother was deceiving Ma Gaoming, he smiled and said: "Fifteenth brother, our brothers are soft-spoken, and what they say, Lord Gao may not be willing to believe it?" ”

"Ouch, the two masters are the little masters of the slaves, and these words can kill the old slaves." Ma Gaoming immediately said with a smile, these masters, he really can't afford to offend.

The fifteenth elder brother Yinyu smiled and urged the mount, and the two rushed forward, Ma Gaoming just breathed a sigh of relief, but Yinyu turned the horse's head again, turned Huilai, and said with a smile: "Now I tell you, it is still a personal favor, and it can be regarded as a return to Concubine Rong's favor." He said with a smile: "Tell you, the emperor is in the navy and has suffered from the cold in the river." ”…,

Yes! Ma Gaoming's eyes widened when he boarded, and he hesitated: "Then why has there been no news?" ”

Yin Yu smiled and said, "Master Ma is smart and confused for a while, you couldn't guess the reason for this before, can't you guess it now?" ”

Ma Gaoming thought for a moment, then hesitated: "Is it to rescue the clan relatives who have been held hostage, minister?" ”

"Master Gao really knows a little bit." Yinyu said with a smile: "Don't tell others, this is a good opportunity." ”

The more Ma Gaoming thought about it, the more he became excited, Kangxi was safe in the navy, what does this mean? As the minister of the palm print of the firearms battalion, he is also a character of Chengjing, and he immediately reacted, this is indeed a rare opportunity, seeing that Yinyu is about to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "Fifteen masters." ”

"Anything else?" The fifteenth elder brother Yinyu asked knowingly, but he was very nervous in his heart.

"Fifteenth Master." Ma Gaoming immediately came to his senses and said, "The prince was defeated and left Andingmen, and the fifteenth master doesn't want to make a big contribution?" ”

Yin Yu blinked his eyes and said, "How many people does the prince have?" I'm not going to do anything risky. ”

"It's not much, the sentry says it's only 2,000 people." Ma Gaoming is now afraid that this young master will not go, since he is going to intercept the prince, he naturally wants to bring these two young masters, which is justified.

"So what are you waiting for?" Yin Yu immediately straightened his chest and said, "The thing about beating the water dog, my lord likes to do it the most." ”
