Chapter 186: Soldiers are coming to the city
Thinking of this, Mu Yueqing was not worried, and said to Mu Cheng: "Since the emperor has already taken measures, grandpa doesn't have to worry too much, my marriage can still be done." ”
Mu Cheng looked at her and shook his head: "Since the emperor wants to do something to him, I'm afraid he will wait for the Zhao family to expose all the forces, and I'm afraid that I will miss your marriage." ”
"Does Grandpa have a way to deal with this mutiny? If grandpa leads the troops to take Zhao Ziye, can he end this mutiny as soon as possible? Mu Yueqing thought, although Mu Cheng's troops are not in Lingcheng, but once it is tough, it needs a general to lead the troops, and Mu Cheng is the most suitable candidate.
Mu Cheng didn't think much about Mu Yueqing's words, but she was also afraid of delaying her marriage.
"The emperor did not give an order, if I lead the troops to rescue the driver without authorization, I am afraid that the emperor will not think it is a rescue, but a stabbing frame."
Mu Cheng is right, the emperor is suspicious, and it is not for nothing that the generals who seized power in the name of saving the driver in history led troops into the palace, who knows what you really plan in your heart.
Seeing that Mu Cheng had no intention of making a move, Mu Yueqing didn't bother much, after all, she didn't want to see Mu Cheng and Zhao Ziye lose both.
At this time, General Zhao Ziye had already led the advance soldiers to the gate of Lingcheng City, and he had just ordered all the soldiers and horses to gather here, and he had no intention of attacking the city before all the soldiers and horses were assembled.
The city gate was closed, and I don't know what the emperor thought at the beginning, but he actually built the tower of the capital city stronger than the border passes, could it be that he had long prevented his own people from turning against the water?
This sudden thought made General Zhao Ziye very uneasy, he was planning today is not a matter of one or two days, it is impossible to be afraid because what he is doing is a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans, if he was afraid, he would not have done it a long time ago.
On the city gate, there was only a small group of defenders, all assembled on the city tower, and there were only two guards at the gate.
Zhao Ziye didn't know any of this. He knew that long before he reached the city gate, the emperor had received the news of his mutiny. He naturally didn't believe that the emperor would not send someone to guard it.
Even if there are not many troops in the city, Zhao Ziye doesn't want to fight with the defenders of the city before the army arrives.
Just when Zhao Ziye was sitting at the temporary table and picking up the tea to drink, the little soldier who was pouring water on the side suddenly turned out a dagger and rushed towards Zhao Ziye's heart.
Zhao Ziye flipped the teacup in his hand, and the tea poured at the little soldier, and the dagger was inserted into the teacup, without hurting Zhao Ziye in the slightest.
One hit missed, the little soldier withdrew the dagger and stabbed it a second time, but before he could stab it, there was a burst of majestic pressure, and the little soldier was instantly knocked out.
A guard on the side had already rushed forward and took down the assassinated soldier, but the soldier was already dead of anger.
Daytime is not suitable for assassination, but Zhao Ziye's mutiny was too fast, and the various forces in the city had already come to the city before they could reflect it.
Most of them have private cooperation with the emperor, once Zhao Ziye breaks through the city, although they will not die, but the industry will still be damaged, so they will have to expose their own people.
In the past half a day, Zhao Ziye had already encountered more than a dozen assassinations, half of which were broken in by outsiders, but before he could reach Zhao Ziye, he was killed by the guards. The closest one was an assassination team composed of several spirits, and the assassin and Zhao Ziye had a trick before being killed by Zhao Ziye.
But the other half gave Zhao Ziye a headache, and those family forces actually infiltrated the military camp and lurked around him. If it weren't for this assassination, he really wouldn't have found out.
He asked two reliable henchmen to check the people in the camp again, but there were nearly a million people, and the two of them didn't have time to check all the people before attacking the city, and Zhao Ziye had no choice but to give up, just checked the team of people close to him.
It had been two hours since the city gate, and in these two hours, a total of less than 50,000 soldiers and horses had arrived.
This point is enough for people to attack the city, how to force the palace on the emperor?
At this time, a large number of soldiers and horses were also mobilized in the city, although there were only 100,000, but they were also on par with Zhao Ziye's soldiers and horses outside the city.
Zhao Ziye had already noticed that something was wrong, he had already sent someone to urge the soldiers and horses that had not arrived, but there was still no news. This is not an appointment for dinner, where can you be so easy to be late?
The emperor is suspicious by nature, how could he be defenseless against him?
"General Zhao," shouted the guard at the city gate, "as your uncle, it is really foolish to lead the army to rebel, so you should quickly dismount and surrender, and follow me to ask the emperor for his guilt." ”
Zhao Ziye looked up at the person shouting on the city tower, who was a young nameless general. Being shouted by an unknown young general, whether it was Zhao Ziye or his soldiers, it sounded like an insult to them.
Without waiting for Zhao Ziye to speak, the deputy general next to Zhao Ziye scolded loudly: "Wait for grandpa, I will attack and take down your head as a ball." ”
The defender was not angry, and continued to shout down: "You are only 80,000 soldiers and horses, and the Lingcheng garrison alone is 100,000, you will definitely not be able to attack, if you don't surrender again, you will have no chance." ”
The guard is right, the gap between the soldiers and horses of the two sides is also the key to victory or defeat, not to mention that Zhao Ziye is the side attacking the city.
Before, Zhao Ziye did not attack the city in order to reduce casualties, but now he is unable to attack the city, if it is a strong attack, there must be great casualties, and the two sides can only continue to confront each other.
It lasted until noon, and there was an obvious vibration on the ground, and Zhao Ziye, who often led troops, could of course hear that a large number of soldiers and horses were coming towards this side at this time, and he was happy in his heart, although it was later than the agreed time, but in the end it came.
After a while, a man rode a horse and led the way, and behind him was a group of soldiers.
"General Zhao, the end will be too late." The person who came said to Zhao Ziye.
"How many men did General He bring?" It's good to come, Zhao Ziye doesn't care about why he is late now.
"The end will bring 200,000 soldiers and horses." He Jing replied.
200,000 against 100,000 to defend the city is more than enough.
"Good!" Zhao Ziye turned over his horse and said towards the city gate, "Siege." ”
"Yes." He Jing responded and ordered the soldiers and horses to move forward.
In a short time, the menacing 200,000 soldiers and horses surrounded the 80,000 soldiers and horses besieging the city.
He Jing put a sword against Zhao Ziye's heart, and waved his hand to take the person down.
Zhao Ziye's strength is not bad, so the people who specially kidnap him are also masters, for fear of letting Zhao Ziye go.
Zhao Ziye still didn't understand anything, he didn't turn his head, and he didn't resist, so he let them tie up.
"What about the others?" Zhao Ziye turned his back to He Jing and asked.
"General Zhao, please rest assured, the others will not come." He Jing replied.
