Volume 3 Mending the Cracks in the Sky Chapter 29 Covering Hands into Fire (6)
In the night, the flames that ignited at the city gate in the west and south of Bianliang were already small in the desperate efforts of the gatekeepers organized in the city.
But another huge current of fire is now rushing towards Bianliang City!
Thousands of armor soldiers roared and shouted, so crazy that they didn't know why, and immediately stepped down, waving torches and blades, like layers of ocean waves, surging towards the Bianliang City Gate, which was already close at hand!
All this wave of excitement was at the forefront of the ranks, on top of a large military cart.
This large cart in the army is carefully made by craftsmen, and the load is far-reaching, and it is unusually strong. Xiao Yan allocated to the army, and there were no unusable military assets.
This cart is large enough to carry more than six stone of military rations, and it is wide and large. It can be used to save the luck, although the speed is a little slower, but it is stable and abundant. On the march, such carts are all treasures, and in addition to carrying mountains of grain and grass, there are often seven or eight sergeants sitting on the grain bales and forage, sleeping all the way, and they are also at ease.
However, this big car, now on it, has a tall beard bed found from the camp, and the thin and haggard Zhao Huan sits on it like a clay carved wood sculpture. And at the four corners of the car, there was a soldier who looked like a Kansai man, holding a spear, standing majestically and solemnly.
The cart has been harnessed, led by four tall horses, and is now rumbling towards Bianliang City!
Outside the car, there were dozens of Kansai Han guards, some immediately, some stepping down. Just the right amount of gaps, so that all the rebel armies can see Zhao Huan's signboard anytime and anywhere.
Thousands of chaotic soldiers surrounded Zhao Huan's vehicle in the center, sending out huge cheers one after another!
And how many armor. Just like Zhang Qi and his ilk. Now they are all entrusted with important tasks. From time to time, he had to be ordered to squeeze out of the core where Zhao Huan lived, and give orders loudly, or adjust the queue to gather people. Or how many future rewards are promised, encouraging the morale and speeding up the journey.
This chaotic army, after all, has been trained by Xiao Yan for more than two months. It's already a bit of an army at the beginning.
The so-called army is not a man in armor and a soldier. Mountain thieves and bandits can also do this. The reason why an army becomes an army is actually the most fundamental one, subconsciously obeying orders layer by layer.
This time there was a sudden turmoil, and the old Shenwu Changsheng army was transferred, and the new generals who were installed later either did not participate in the chaos, or lost their prestige and failed to deploy, or because of the chaos that suddenly arose. These rebel troops, who had long been colluding and waiting for the news of the mutiny, rushed out as soon as their brains were hot, even if the generals in the battalion followed. It is also that the general cannot find the soldiers, and the soldiers cannot find the generals.
Now, with the dozens of military horses of Taiwei Yao in Guanxi who were clustered in the center as the core, Zhang Qi and other people who were more obedient and the first to come up were instructed to be the temporary leaders, and they were constantly sent out to give loud orders to at least make these chaotic troops more neat.
For a while, from the mouths of these Kansai generals, I don't know how many commanders were promised to make Yuhou envoys, even the dispatch of the commanders of the Xiangdu. When they rush into Bianliang City, I am afraid that the noble titles of military officials such as Yaojun officials will fly all over the sky.
Zhang Qi and the others were like being smeared with Indian divine oil, and they were so excited that they ran around, giving orders, and shouting hoarse.
Isn't this what you are messing with your head in the night? If it was still presided over by Dr. Wenchenshi, I am afraid that this position would not be so happy. Only Wu Chen presided over such a turmoil that he treated his family so kindly. That's the benefit! As for the previous deportations of Bianliang who looked down on the buns who came to aid from Kansai, at this time, let a qiฤ float clouds. Now Zhang Qi and others only hate that they can't speak a mouthful of Kansai vernacular!
Once someone began to restrain him, and it was obviously from the circle closest to Zhao Huan. At the beginning, there were some soldiers and soldiers in the army who should be conscious, and they received their own orders. Those who can still find their own command system will return to the army on the march, and those who cannot find the formation will temporarily set up a new commander, and the names are very big.
The first commander of the Loyal and Righteous Army, the first commander of the Imperial Wansheng Army, and the first commander of the Xingguo Dingyan Army............ In short, the name is occupied first. In the future, in terms of meritorious deeds, you will not be able to stand alone in the army! I only hate that the time on the way to the division is too short, and in a blink of an eye, the Bianliang city wall is in front of you, and there is no utensils, otherwise even the military flag will be made for you.
With the hasty formation constraints of the rebel army, this action is getting faster and faster. At this moment, there are more military horses in the battalion, even if they were honest for a while at first, at this time, when they heard that Xiao Thief was defeated, the shouts of the prince shook the night sky, and they couldn't stay up and desperately chased after them to join the team. These people are one step later, and in order to compete for merit, even the bows and crossbows in the army will come out!
Four compartments and fifty commanded 16,700 regular troops, and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilians. In addition to the fact that there were already as many as seven or eight thousand people who had joined the rebel army, and almost the same number of people who had returned home in all directions, these people were really honest and useless, and they were neither willing to follow Xiao Yan to Hedong to die, nor willing to take risks in this chaos.
The auxiliary soldiers and civilians of the regular army who stayed in the camp added up to less than 30%. In the past two months, Xiao Yan has pulled it out of the sea of suffering, and he has been more gracious and righteous, but there are still some people who have kept the bottom line. I also hope that King Yan can turn this game around, lead them in the future, and be honest and down-to-earth in front of the military formation, and come out with a clean reputation and wealth!
Xiao Yan gave the opportunity, not only to give himself a bottom line, but also to these people who have been trained by themselves for two months and have made meritorious contributions in the palace change, a bottom line of their own choice.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The chaotic army finally poured into Bianliang City. Inside the Nanxun Gate, in addition to the stunned gate army, there were also the little officers who commanded the fire extinguishing just now who were busy catching up, and were about to say something excitedly, so they opened the sergeants whose eyes were red.
These sergeants all listened to the orders that were handed down layer by layer. King Yan had already embraced Taishang and retreated into the imperial city, counting on two generations of kings in his hands to do a dying struggle. There's no hesitation tonight. For example, when the palace changes in February, you have to shout at the gate of the imperial city for a long time. Counting on the prince to come out on his own. Everyone has knives and guns. Just get in!
The one who sat on the cart was put on the throne, everyone was a martyr, and from now on he will be the new family of the generals of the capital gate control army!
These sergeants put on armor and carried soldiers, and ran for more than ten miles, at this time, they were so tired that they were panting, and they also gathered their last spirit, saying that they would be the first to rush into the imperial city!
The majesty of King Yan, the evil spirit of the Chinese army when it went out. And tonight the chaos is strange. When thousands of soldiers gathered together, there were armor and soldiers, the fire was soaring, the hooves were moving, and the prince was sitting in the army. These worries were all forgotten for them, and they only felt that such a lineup aroused a feeling that they were extremely powerful, and they only felt that this Bianliang, who had all the lights extinguished, was just curled up and trembling at the feet of their powerful military horse, and all the qiฤ were manipulated with them!
A sergeant of the brigade brigade. From this little official who hit the cold ass with a hot face, he was pushed to the side of the road, just wailing and crying out in pain. When he was dazed, he felt a soldier standing beside him. Asked loudly, "What kind of bird officer are you?" โ
The petty official looked up and saw Zhang Qi standing in front of him, with Lu Yong guarding beside him, wearing half armor and holding a horse lance, looking like a heavy general.
The petty official said in a hurry: "The lower official is the right to send Xiangfu County Lieutenant Hu ......"
Xiangfu is the Kaifeng Prefecture Administration, that is, the county lieutenant is also sent from the eighth grade, but with the addition of the right to send three words, the official will be reduced to the ninth grade. These days, the situation is tense. These county lieutenants in Kaifeng Mansion are responsible for public security, where are smart people willing to stay? But for the scholars and doctors, when they encounter chaos, they manipulate behind their backs, and finally reap the fruits of victory. These specific dispatch positions in Kaifeng Mansion were vacant for a while, and He Li, who was so anxious that he was also the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, had to look for them among the election officials who were looking at the door and listening to the drums, but after a few interviews, they seemed a little bold, a little organized, and their resumes were also from the right path.
This is how he came from, who was originally sunk in the sea of election, and saw that there would never be a future. As a result, he was sent by the county lieutenant of Chi County, one of the best in the world, and he was simply overjoyed. Consciously since then, he has been He Xianggong's confidant, and he has not shared the sky with Xiao Thief. Tonight, there is a change, He Xianggong is sitting in Kaifeng Mansion, and when the news of the chaos suddenly comes, he will send people to find out, and it is better for Bianliang City to keep its doors behind closed doors, so as to better see what is going on in this inexplicable chaos. The others waited for He Xianggong to send people to push back and block, or quietly returned home, but it was this eagerness full of brains to bring a few people who were also a little expensive in their minds to the most dangerous Nanxunmen.
In a short period of time, the situation was full of ups and downs, first two teams of military horses crashed through Nanxun Gate, and then one team was led by King Yan! The city gate caught fire, King Yan went to the imperial city, and a large group of armor soldiers rushed to the back, embracing the waste prince, and killed in Bianliang City! These dizzying changes made Hu Xianwei firmly believe that King Yan had been defeated, and this coup was about to be completed!
I didn't expect my family to be very excited to meet him, but he ate it several times, pushed it to the side and fell into the mud. Suddenly, a figure who looked like a military general asked with a fierce face, and County Lieutenant Hu didn't care about the official authority of the Chixian County Lieutenant, who was lucky enough to get this day, and he trembled in his answer.
Before he finished speaking, the anxious Zhang Qi had already interrupted him: "It's good that it's from Kaifeng Mansion, and I am the commander of the national army, Zhang ............ Captain Zhang! On the orders of the crown prince, he is about to take over the plan of the princes of the DPRK and China! The straight thieves are turning the world upside down outside the city, and the thieves are fighting with the blood flowing, but you are sitting in the city! Still shaking the birds here, get up quickly, and take us to find He Xianggong first! โ
Zhang Qi honestly and unceremoniously set up a dispatch for his own army, calling himself a captain, and he was also very pleasant. With all his thoughts, he was waiting to find a few princes of the court and the central government quickly, so he quickly turned around and joined the ranks of attacking the imperial city. Even if you have to work hard at that time, you really want to be a captain, and you can climb to the sky in such a step, even if you take your life to Bo, it is worth it to be a mother!
County Lieutenant Hu wanted to get up, but his legs were weak and he couldn't struggle. Boss Zhang Qi was impatient and shouted: "Lu Da! โ
Previously, Zhang Qi was called a big man, but now he is reckless. Lu Yong was silent, picked up Lieutenant Hu and put it behind his mount. Zhang Qi also turned over and got on his horse, and a group of sergeants under his command were getting out to the side of the road, looking with envy at the countless jubilant soldiers rolling in the direction of the imperial city. There were also teams of men and horses separated from the queue. Dash to all parts of the city. By order of the crown prince. Go to find the princes of the DPRK and the central government, and join in the big move!
Under Zhang Qi's command, there were fifty or sixty soldiers, all of whom had horses. Zhang Qiyan was quick, except for a few of the third commander of the left who were still following, when he was in a hurry to reorganize the army on the order of the prince, he tried his best to collect the horse army that crashed in front of him. Since the night of the change in the second house in February, Zhang Qi has firmly believed. At any time, the armor is a big killer!
Now these fifty or sixty horsemen are said to be less than two cavalry formations. Zhang Qi had already named it the National Army. What is the first commander and the second commander, the seventh brother is not so birdish, this is a soldier and horses!
"Follow me! Looking for the princes of the court, it is another great achievement in front of the prince! The thief will definitely have to fight to the death, and when the time comes, we will turn around and let the horses kill the remnants of the thief! Hurry up and go, don't think about stealing chickens and dogs while the chaos is chaotic. When the crown prince is on the throne, isn't this wealth better than robbing a few pieces of copper? โ
Lu Yong also echoed on the side: "The prince passed down the military order. Those who harass the city will be killed! Tomorrow, when the crown prince is on the throne, he will naturally pacify the city. Don't cut off some heads, don't hit the knife at this time! Just listen to the captain's orders, act quickly and strive for wealth! โ
Hearing Lu Yong's stammering lieutenant, Zhang Qizhi smiled with satisfaction and ordered loudly: "Go!" โ
Dozens of knights suddenly left like the wind. In the same vein, more men will be repatriated. Clusters of torches spread from the entrance of the Nanxunmen army, illuminating the city of Bianliang, which had fallen into darkness. The entire Bianliang City, whether it is a person in the bureau or not, is waiting for this situation to move towards a more arrogant place!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before the chaotic army at the Nanxun Gate poured in, Xiao Yan galloped all the way through the Bianliang Street that fell into silence and darkness, and went straight to the imperial city.
In a short time, the dozens of horses who galloped wildly had already stepped on the wide royal street leading directly to the Xuande Gate. Dozens of horses' hooves knocked on the hard bluestone-paved royal street, and the sparks splashed around, reflecting Xiao Yan's figure in a flickering light.
In front of the Xuande Building, there was already a big blood exchange of the imperial squad waiting, swords and guns out of the sheath, bow and crossbow support. At this time, seeing Xiao Yan riding lightly, the door in front of Xuande Building was pushed open with a rumbling.
Xiao Yan rushed straight in, and at this time, he saw that in the imperial city outside the forbidden middle of Yanfu Palace in the original Xuande Building, there were already torches shining. The convoy guarding Zhao Jiyi and Su Guifei from the West Gate had only entered the imperial city for a short time.
On this square, there are left and right Yintai Divisions and offices, and there are Daqing Palaces. A group of small eunuchs on duty here were huddled in front of the corridor of the Daqing Palace, supervised by the Imperial Banzhi, and it seemed that they were going to be driven to a certain government office and locked up.
The gray-haired Zhao Ji was getting out of the car, and these little eunuchs didn't recognize Taishang, who had been so old and stiff overnight. But when Xiao Yan, the king of Yan, was involved in the imperial city, these eunuchs made a commotion, and they all fell down!
A class from a mink hat also flew straight to meet Xiao Yanma, and replied loudly: "The king, the master mother and the others have already entered the forbidden place, and Taiwei Zhang is personally accompanying the official family, and is eagerly waiting for the arrival of the king!" Ask the king, how to settle the Taishang? โ
The so-called Zhang Xian personally followed Zhao Kai, in fact, Zhang Xian personally supervised it.
Xiao Yan's expression was cold, and he waved his hand and said, "Just find a safe place to settle here, where are there so many mothers-in-law?" Lead me into the forbidden! โ
The group received the order with a loud voice, and was about to lead the way. Xiao Yan's expression suddenly loosened a little, swept the group of Tianjia who got out of the car and gathered together in panic and didn't dare to speak, and suddenly said: "Take Niangniang and Emperor Roufu with you, and reunite with Emperor Maode all the way, that's all!" โ
After giving Xiao Yan's orders, he didn't care about it anymore, and rode straight into the imperial city! Dozens of armored horsemen followed closely. A group of eunuchs fell to the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
And there was already a soldier, according to Xiao Yan's order, to invite Concubine Yisu and Emperor Roufu to board the car again, and also followed Xiao Yan to ride straight into Yanfu Palace.
Concubine Yisu hugged Emperor Roufu tightly and boarded the car without saying a word. didn't look at Zhao Ji, who was sighing for a long time.
The iron hooves are clanging, and the sparks in the dark and dreary Great Song Dynasty are uncertain. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had already come to the Gongchen Gate, and the gate here was also opened for Xiao Yan early. The royal squad was straight at the door, and the eunuch was bowed to the ground.
As soon as you enter this gate, it is a place that people and ministers must not set foot in.
Xiao Yan didn't pause, and slammed the horse's belly hard, and just crashed into it!
At this moment, in the direction of the Nanxun Gate of Bianliang City, there was also a huge cheer and shout of the chaotic army, and they also crashed into the Nanxun Gate!
In Yanfu Palace, it was dark and dreary at this time, only showing a poignant and cold state. The heavenly family that Zhao Ji painstakingly built in the forbidden period is not visible.
Even Xiao Yan, when he rode in, his heart couldn't help but shake.
At the beginning of the crossing, I staggered through the mountains with a mobile phone, just hoping to find a place with a signal. The appearance of this wolf bรจi, when I think of it at this moment, is also very clear.
Have you come this far?
Beyond this, it is the peak.
The internal strife is really enough, and now on, let Lao Tzu let go of his hands and feet, and fight a good fight with the real mortal enemy of this civilization! (To be continued......)
