There are only 20,000 men and horses in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, plus 40,000 people and horses in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, plus the people and horses from all sides who spontaneously came to support the rescue, that is, the number of people who are about the same as the Fuhu Army, but the Fuhu Army is as powerful as a bamboo, which is obviously the difference in the soldiers.

Fuhu Army, from this name, you can know how sophisticated this should be, there were 100,000 soldiers and horses, 60,000 infantry, light infantry, heavy infantry, crossbowmen, Pu Dao hand, shield hand, 20,000 cavalry, 15,000 heavy cavalry, 15,000 light cavalry, 5,000 archers, and 5,000 are officer messengers, all of which are well-equipped elite soldiers, and are the first army of Dahe, after the emperor ascended the throne, it was reduced step by step to today's 50,000, and the emperor tried to change the leader of this army many times. But the prestige of Qin Guogong's family in this army is too strong, as soon as the emperor replaces, some people make trouble, kill a lot and send a lot to the border passes, there are still people making trouble, even if the emperor changes the leader, it is impossible to erase the weight of Qin Guogong in their hearts, so the emperor finally had to let Qin Guogong regain control of the Fuhu Army, and plan to disperse this army to the whole country in the future to completely empty Qin Guogong, it can be said that this army only listens to Qin Guogong's orders, and he, the emperor's order, has to think twice. Although the number of people and horses has been reduced to 50,000, but the equipment and the physical quality of the soldiers, but it is still second to none in Dahe, the emperor has increased the training of the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the army directly under the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion over the years, these people have also been carefully selected by the Shenke River and the sand, it can be said that it is also the elite of Dahe, the two armies clashed, and now the victory and defeat have not been divided, and the palace has the advantage of being easy to defend and difficult to attack, so even if the situation of Fuhu is like a bamboo, the emperor still pulled the two sides into a draw.

So what the emperor is most worried about now is reinforcements.

Only the north gate of the city was captured by the rebels, and the other three gates were still guarded by the emperor's people, so there was no need to worry about the situation that the reinforcements could not enter the city. The influence of the Chen family in the army is not comparable to that of Qin Guogong, and the strength of the year became a plate of scattered sand as soon as it was scattered, it was impossible to gather, that is, when the emperor was thinking hard, the summons soldiers came to report, and the soldiers and horses of Yaozhou and the state were abnormally mobilized!

Due to the rebellion of Lin'an Hou three years ago, the emperor learned a lesson, aggravated the soldiers and horses of the prefectures and counties around the capital, and let his own ministers lead, so as not to get the sudden accident when the soldiers and horses are far away and cannot quench their thirst, how did Chen Yin mobilize the soldiers and horses of Yaozhou and the state?

This is no longer a problem that should be thought about now, except for Yaozhou and the state, there is no other change, the emperor has asked people to go out from the east gate of the city, the west gate of the city, and the south gate of the city to summon the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou, Qizhou, and Ganzhou.

Everyone offered the method of resisting the rebel siege, but the emperor did not adopt it, originally after Lin'anhou, the emperor and the palace guards were trained according to the state of the enemy in the event of a sudden accident, the flying feather army has been in place, and the catapult has also moved to the palace gate tower, and now it depends on whose people are coming quickly!

At this time, the prime minister mentioned Cangming Gong, since the rebels attacked the city, Cangming Gong has disappeared, his eldest son and second son have been in the capital but were sent out, Cangming Gong and Qin Guogong and others have started together, where will they go now? And the Duke of Qin, Changbo Cangming, sent his family members out of the three city gates, these family members must be their forbidden body, if these people can be arrested, maybe they can surrender without a fight.

The prime minister's proposal was immediately accepted by the emperor, and soon, the men and horses who had gone to track down the family of the Duke of Qin, Chang Bo Cangming, galloped out of the other three city gates that had not been captured by the rebels.

Where did Cangming Gong go?

Qin Guogong and Changchangbo and Fuhu Army should cooperate with each other, while Cangming Gong and his son took the group of grassland people on Niu Bushan from another unnoticed street to lurk outside the palace, and in their hands, there are not only swords and long contradictory cards, but also cannons stuffed with gunpowder, sending out one, and an inch thick city wall can make a pit! Due to the control of gunpowder by the government and the imperial court, Shen Ke bought gunpowder very carefully, and some of the gunpowder in the artillery battle was even made by him with gunpowder from firecrackers and fireworks, but for such a long time, these people also made ten boxes of gunfire, and it was enough to blow up a gap in the palace tower.

The only problem at the moment is the suspension bridge!

The river of the moat overflowed, and the Fuhu army was lightly armed, so it was impossible to find so much sand and stone to fill it, how to enter the palace and leave the palace on weekdays, Yang Xiong planned to let the Fuhu army enter the palace.

He is the same, he is also waiting for an opportunity.

It's just that the weather is not beautiful, and this heavy rain will inevitably hinder their movements, and the artillery is stored in airtight boxes, which are placed on special small board carts.

As soon as the drawbridge is lowered again, these people will rush to the palace with artillery battles, light the fuse, push it towards the tower, and blow it up!

Cangming Gong didn't expect that Chen Yin would secretly hide such a large amount of gunpowder, and he would never have thought that Chen Yin could let these grassland people live like invisible people under the emperor's nose, and cooperate with the grassland people, Cangming Gong was unwilling to exclude, but Chen Yin had already explained that this did not involve the interests between the grassland and Dahe, and these grassland people were all willing to exchange their lives for a life, not to make the grassland profit for this purpose. With this guarantee, Yang Xiong dared to bring these people here.

The madness of the kind uncle and the strict father, Yang Huaijin did not say anything to hinder it, to this point, the Yang family has no way back, if it can't blow up the city tower and let the rebels attack the palace, everything will be more blood and sacrifices, 50,000 rebels, and people who continue to come from all walks of life, 80,000 troops, must not fail.

Stormy nights, mountains and rivers fluttering.

Aicheng, which is not far from the capital, is very calm at this time, the violent wind and rain at night make Du Yiyi sleepless all night, Ning Zhiyuan lives in the same room with her, but he does not share the same bed, Qin Huai also sleeps outside the door, as long as she moves slightly, this pair of master and servant will subdue her.

The night listens to the rain until dawn, and when the rain stops, it is already the time when the sky is white.

Qin Huai has the habit of smelling chickens and dancing, he went out of the house early in the morning and went to the backyard of the inn to practice, Ning Zhiyuan was originally a person who loves to sleep lazily, but he got up early in the morning today, Qin Huai practiced a set of boxing skills and moved his muscles and bones, and then went out of the inn and brought breakfast with Ning Zhiyuan Du Yiyi, and by the way, he also brought the news from the capital last night.

Because the flying pigeon flies in the wind and rain, the ink on this note has been scattered, but because the note is contained in a special small barrel rod, although the ink is scattered, the words written are still legible.

Ning Zhiyuan read these lines in one breath, and his white face was already white.

"Childe, what's going on?"

Qin Huai closed the door.

"Something happened in the capital! You go to the government for me and find Yan Liu! Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Du Yiyi at his side, quickly put away the note, and put it in his sleeve.

"Yes!" Qin Huai didn't know where to go, but Ning Zhiyuan's face made him not want to delay, and immediately he left the inn and trotted all the way to the mansion.

Early in the morning, Yan Xinglu had already packed up his things and planned to leave Aicheng and return to Beijing, and Yan Liu had already asked Ma Guanzai to hire a carriage for him, but when it was time to leave, Yan Liu received a small note from the capital and immediately dispelled the idea of letting Yan Xinglu return to Beijing and found Rao Su.

There are changes in Beijing, last night and one night, under the leadership of Qin Guogong, the Tianwei Mountain Fuhu Army mutiny invaded the capital and fought fiercely in Beijing with the army directly under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the two armies were in a vicious battle.

It takes two or three hours for this note to travel from the capital to Aicheng, that is to say, this is at least two or three hours ago, such a big change, how can Yan Liu not panic, not only Yan Liu, Rao Su also received the news early in the morning, but the news he received was much more comprehensive than that of Yan Liu, a total of 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yaozhou and Prefecture had already rushed to the capital at nightfall last night, and the governor of Yaozhou vigorously obstructed and was killed by the rebels.

There are only soldiers and horses under the direct jurisdiction of the Five Cities and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in Beijing, what will be the situation if the Fuhu Army and these 20,000 soldiers and horses converge? Yan Liu didn't dare to imagine that the rebellion of Lin'anhou three years ago did not involve the battle of the army after all, although the emperor has made deployments in the past three years, but now that the army is attacking the city, how long can these deployments be delayed?

"The situation in Beijing is not optimistic, and the news of the defection of the Fuhu Army last night is estimated to have spread now! I'm just afraid that this will cause panic among the people, and then cause even greater and worse effects! Yan Liu sighed one after another, and his neatly combed black hair was also scratched messily by the anxious him.

Far away in Aicheng, even if he was anxious, he couldn't do anything, looking at Yan Liu scratching his head and sighing bitterly, Rao Su could only paced back and forth, "The emperor doesn't know what the situation is now, it's been more than two hours, and the battle between the two armies should be clear, it's really urgent!" ”

"The 20,000 soldiers and horses of Yaozhou and the state went to the capital, and the emperor will inevitably mobilize the soldiers and horses of Jinzhou, Qizhou, and Ganzhou to support, the capital is just a city gate, and the news can still be spread, and the most important thing now is to mobilize other states and counties to send troops to reinforce and rescue the driver!"

"Lord Yan is right! The emperor is in trouble, when it is support from all directions, you and I are in Aicheng, and this is all I can do! Rao Su nodded in agreement.

"Lord Yan! There is a man outside, who says that he is your old friend, and that his son-in-law has invited you to go. The official guarding the gate of the palace hurriedly came to pray.

Yan Liu pestle, and hurriedly said to Rao Su: "Rao Su, you go and talk to Master Ma about this transfer of troops, I will come when I go, and the child Xinglu, I have to bother you to take care of it!" ”

"Lord Yan go first! Master Ma and Xinglu will leave it to me here! Rao Su was worried, and he didn't have time to worry about these little things, so as soon as he gave up, he went out of the back hall and went straight to Ma Guanzai's residence.

Yan Liu followed the official all the way to the gate of the mansion and saw Qin Huai, and followed him all the way to the inn.

The capital is in turmoil, Yan Liu Rao Su is the son of heaven, at this time Ning Zhiyuan can only discuss with him, the current situation in Beijing is still unknown, the rebels are menacing, although the palace is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the emperor did not know in advance that the wolf ambition of Qin Guogong delayed the time to transfer troops, and the reinforcements of the soldiers and horses must not be as fast as the soldiers and horses of Qin Guogong, and no one can predict what the current palace will be.

In the current situation, Yan Liu has no choice, and now they don't even know the situation in the capital and can only rely on speculation, how can they solve problems for the emperor! "His Royal Highness King Rui should not worry too much, the emperor is far-sighted, and the rebels will definitely not be able to attack the palace! The Duke of Qin is also two generations of loyalty, and Changchangbo is the third generation of loyalty, and the Duke of Cangming...... Ay...... Who knew they would still harbor such ambitions! ”
