Chapter 645: The Dark Shadow Thrown Down

In the capital, the layout begins.

The forces in the capital began to concentrate on the north on the surface, and even the city wall had three times more guards than usual, and it was enough to really do things at the north gate.

This not only diverted all Zhu Yonghao's attention, but also went further to Deshengmen, and he also went to watch it in person.

However, everyone at the decision-making level in Beijing knew in their hearts that after the end of the South City Gate response operation, most of the funerals could only be canceled, and nothing would happen at the North City Gate.

Therefore, most of the elites of the forbidden army actually went to the direction of the south city gate to facilitate the response to Zhu Chengyi in case of accidents.

It is also for this reason that several elders and others are sorry for the Queen Mother's temporary inability to enter the ground, and this night, everyone knelt in front of the Queen Mother's coffin for two quarters of an hour to atone for their sins......

At the beginning of the night, the front of Desheng began to be white. Even the officers and soldiers defending the city were uniformly draped in a layer of white linen. The more solemn it is here, the more careful Zhu Yonghao is on his side.

Especially after discovering that the goalkeeper of Deshengmen was Yu Tong, thinking of the relationship between Yu Tong and Yu Bohong, Zhu Yonghao became even more cautious, and began to worry that Deshengmen would have a situation, and he planned to regret his previous promise to release people from the funeral......

He was not at ease, and sent thousands of people to form a line from thirty miles away, for fear that the imperial court would cheat this time, or that there would be something wrong in the direction of Yan'an.

At the end of the hour, man is at his most weary and sleepy.

Outside the South City Gate, it has long been quiet.

There are far fewer rebels and refugees, and most people are squinting and resting.

The defenders of the south city gate were in high spirits, and the vicinity of the city gate was even more vigilant, and 20,000 people were deployed to ensure that the operation must be smooth.

Even Rong An couldn't feel at ease, and he and a group of pavilion elders and others all stood in a teahouse near the south city gate.

When the time came, a sound came.

An ox cart was set on fire and rushed out of nowhere to the city gate.

Like a signal, the gates of the city are opened.

The 3,000 assault forbidden troops, armed with swords and shields, rushed out of the city like a flood.

The rebels outside the city gate were unexpected, startled, and hurriedly began to organize manpower.

As soon as they were frightened by the forbidden army, the real refugees jumped out and began to line up shouting and screaming, and the obviously organized and led rebels were immediately distinguished from the refugees.

That's it.

At this time, the entire city gate suddenly lit up. Torches lined up on the city wall illuminated this area clearly.

Before the exposed rebels could form a team and give orders to deal with them, they were scattered by the dense rain of arrows on the city wall.

The three showers of arrows ended, and the forbidden army, which had already assaulted outside the city gate, began to attack head-on.

The forbidden army, which was relatively holding its breath and was well prepared, was obviously inferior to the counter-army that could not respond to the situation.

At present, it seems that the number of these rebels is at best four or five thousand. As long as there are no other rebels nearby, it is not difficult to destroy this part of the rebel army before the arrival of reinforcements from other city gates, it is only a matter of time.

"It's coming!"

The scout's lookout could already be seen, and a dark shadow was riding a horse not far away, and the sound of horses' hooves could be faintly heard.

"Ready to answer!"

The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and everyone at the city gate finally understood why Zhu Chengyi needed the cooperation of the imperial court to enter the city and did not dare to face the rebels.

There were only more than 100 people with him.

These more than 100 people are dusty and embarrassed.

The leader is Zhu Chengyi.

He took the lead and rode into the city as fast as he could.

Before they could see it, they saw him throw down a black shadow.

The officers and soldiers took the black shadow, which turned out to be a cloak. When I opened it, I saw a person inside, trembling.

Isn't it the crown prince Zhu Yongxing?
