Li Hao and Xiao Zhongzhi sat in the command center, and they were very clear about the development of the overall situation, one city gate had been taken in the south and one city gate in the west, and the soldiers were heading for the other two city gates, and the flying car had returned to the valley to transport the other soldiers of the first battalion to the east gate and the north gate.

Li Hao looked at the time and said, "It's going to be smoother than I expected, and the time to capture the city gate may be shorter than I estimated." ”

Xiao Zhongzhi touched his two whiskers, stared at the moving points of light on the map, and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a powerful hidden weapon, even the elite troops will not have the courage to resist, so they will be quickly defeated." ”

In Xiao Zhongzhi's view, as long as the surrounding city gates are captured, this coup will be considered a success. What he was afraid of was that the soldiers and horses outside the city kept coming in, and the 20,000 or 30,000 forbidden troops in the city alone were by no means the opponents of the Li family's army, and it was a big deal to destroy them all.

But for Li Hao, only by preventing the forbidden army in the city from making a move can it be considered a success.

"Report to the command center, here is a battalion and a company, we have captured all three city gates in the south, and we are building a defensive line at the city gate and setting up a warning area."

"Report, there is a battalion and two companies here, and the second city gate in the west has been reached, and now it is heading towards the third city gate."

"Report to the command center, this is the guard company directly under us, we have entered Bianliang City by flying car, and we are about to land on Yujie."

"Report to the command center, I am Liu Zhongting, the commander of the second battalion, and our first batch of soldiers have already gotten on the flying car and are flying towards the palace."

All kinds of information converged into the command center like a tidal wave. The points of light representing the officers in Bianliang City gradually increased, and they were all moving. Occasional gunshots rang out in various parts of the city, shattering the silence of the night.

Many people and ordinary people were awakened by the sound of gunshots, and they were all wondering, today is not a festival, why did someone set off firecrackers in the middle of the night? Isn't that disturbing dreams? This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place of the Great Song Dynasty, who dares to be so presumptuous?

The cargo car carrying the guard company stopped at the Royal Street, and when the door of the carriage opened, seven or eight soldiers rushed out and scattered around the speeding car, either squatting or standing with their guns pointed at the periphery, covering the teammates to get out of the carriage.

Although it is estimated that there will be no enemies around at this time, the habits formed by the training of soldiers are like this, and they naturally carry them out one by one.

After a platoon of soldiers from the guard company got out of the flying car, the flying car took off again with the rest of the soldiers and flew to the next soldier drop-off point. The task of the guard company was to seal off important departments in the city, such as the Privy Council, which had the power to transfer troops, and to patrol some important areas.

Watching the flying car leave, the platoon commander of this platoon waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

This platoon of more than thirty soldiers walked into the alley, and in the alley they came to the back door of a house.

Several soldiers were on guard, and the platoon commander stepped forward and grabbed the brass ring and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A hoarse voice immediately sounded in the door, apparently someone was waiting.

"Change the sky!" The platoon commander lowered his voice.

"Heavenly King Covers the Tiger!" The hoarse voice in the door spoke a code word.

"Pagoda Town River Demon!" After the platoon commander answered the code, the door opened.

When Jiang Wulang asked for the password and password of the troops, Li Hao, who was too lazy to use his brain, casually said this sentence: "The king of heaven covers the tiger, and the river demon of Pagoda Town." As a result, this classic code mention of later generations appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.

"The horses are ready."

"Okay," the platoon leader lit up his flashlight, and led the horses out with the soldiers, and returned to the royal street to patrol the horses.

In the command center, small flags were lit up on the three-dimensional map in the center. Where it is occupied or controlled, Zhi Brain will mark a small Li Jiajun military flag on it.

Eighteen minutes into Operation Celestial Change, the south and west gates were all marked with small flags, indicating that they had fallen under the control of the Li family's army. The east gate and the north gate were also taken.

The flags of the Privy Council in the middle of the city, the front division of the palace, the horse military division of the guards, and the infantry division of the guards were lit one by one, and there were blue or green light spots nearby, indicating that there were at least a squad of more than ten soldiers watching these places.

At this moment, four flying cars were speeding in the night sky, and Liu Zhongting, the commander of the second battalion of the Li Family's army, sat in the passenger seat, watching the black buildings below sweep backwards, and the lights were bright in front of him, and Miyagi had arrived.

Liu Zhongting tightened the assault rifle in his hand and sighed slightly in his heart. Throughout the history books of China, there has never been a force of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses who dared to control the Beijing division and seize the imperial city. Regardless of success or failure, as one of the main officers, he will inevitably go down in history.

It's just that if it succeeds, what is left in the history books is praise; If it fails, the history books will leave behind infamy. Because history is always written by the victors, and this is the principle of success and defeat.

Liu Zhongting sees it very openly, life is short for decades, and it is enough to be able to make a vigorous impact once. Seeing that the imperial city was in front of him, Liu Zhongting clenched his rifle tightly, and a feeling of excitement arose in his heart.

The speeding car slowed down and swept past the wall of Miyagi, and the guards of the Praetorian Army who were on night duty on the wall saw it and exclaimed in unison. But no matter what kind of monster the behemoth was, they couldn't let him enter the palace, and the guards bent their bows and arrows and shot at the flying car.

The arrows hit the speeding car and fell one after another, without any effect on the speeding car. I don't know what the transparent cover of the flying car is made of, when Li Hao urged the steel ball with the force, after three thousand meters of acceleration, he hit the front window of the flying car head-on, when the flying car was moving at full speed, the relative speed reached an amazing point, but the steel ball still failed to destroy the flying car in the slightest. Now, how can these arrows have any effect on the speeding car?

The cargo car swept over the west gate of the palace wall for more than 300 meters and stopped in the palace. The carriage door opened, and more than a dozen soldiers rushed out, and the soldiers who got off the train first were on guard to protect their teammates from getting off.

When the guards patrolling the palace saw it, they shouted loudly, blew bamboo whistles to warn, and drew their weapons and rushed over, some of them raising their crossbow arrows and shooting.

"Dadada!" Gunfire rang out like firecrackers, and the patrol guards fell to the ground in an instant.

Liu Zhongting said: "I went to take the palace gate in a row, and I searched in a row and outflanked and searched for the first time, and I will repeat it again, I want to capture it alive, don't kill it." Let's go! ”

The soldiers split up and scattered in platoons to search the palaces.

The four flying cars flew away again, transported the soldiers of the third battalion, picked up Sun Hong outside the east gate of the palace city, and flew into the palace.

The forbidden army of the palace is the most elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and they are naturally not like those Song soldiers at the city gate, who disperse casually. It usually takes more than 30 percent of deaths to collapse.

All of a sudden, gunshots rang out from time to time in the palace, and concubines, palace maids, and eunuchs woke up from their dreams, knowing that someone had entered the palace.

※※※※※ the lobby of the Privy Council.

The candles were lit and the entire lobby was lit up.

The Privy Envoy was the chief officer of the Privy Council, and at this time he frowned and asked his staff: "You mean that this firecracker sound in several places at the same time?" ”

The staff member said, "Yes, just now I sent someone to see the Privy Council's office, which is guarded by a group of people in strange clothes, not the night guard. And what's even more terrifying is that this kind of sound also came from the palace. ”

The privy envoy stood up with his hands pressed against the table, his cold hair stood upside down, and his face was hideous: "If what you say is true, it means that someone is rebelling. Prepare the horse, the official wants to go and see, it is the one who is so bold. ”

"My lord, now that there is chaos outside, you should not go out, it is better to order the front division of the palace to send a team of soldiers and horses to patrol the whole city. If the front secretary of the palace receives the order, it means that the overall situation is still under control; If the head of the temple disobeys, you will have to contact his officials to discuss again. It's just that the talisman of the transfer of troops is in the Privy Council, and I'm afraid it's difficult to get it now. ”

The privy envoy sneered: "The front secretary of the palace is Murong Biao who is on duty tonight, with our personal relationship, I will explain the situation to him, even if it is with a personal sigil, he will send troops out to defend the palace." After all, this is the credit of the King of Guard, and he will not let it go. ”

The staff said happily: "That's the best, my lord writes a good letter, and let a few nurses send the letter to the barracks in front of the palace." ”

Without further ado, the privy envoy immediately wrote a letter and called the five guards to send the letter to Murong Biao in the barracks in front of the palace. The guards received the order, and the Privy Envoy's talisman was gone, and their bodies disappeared into the dark night.

At this time, in the palace, eight Ouchi guards quietly came to the palace wall in the south, and the palace gate here had not yet been taken by the Li family.

Liu Zhongting of the second battalion seized the palace gate to the west and searched from west to east; Sun Hong of the third battalion seized the palace gate to the east and was also searching for Zhao Ji's whereabouts. Although soldiers were sent to attack the palace gates in the north and south, the soldiers had not yet arrived here.

The forbidden army at the south gate was a little hesitant when they heard the sound of killing in the palace, but they couldn't leave their posts without permission, and they still had to guard this palace gate.

The eight Ouchi guards showed a gold medal and tested it for the forbidden army guarding the door, and the forbidden army immediately opened the door and let him go.

After leaving the palace gate, the first Ouchi guard touched the secret decree in his arms and rushed in the direction of the barracks in front of the palace. These people have all practiced martial arts since childhood, and martial arts alone are rare opponents in the entire Great Song Dynasty. They moved very quickly and soon crossed several streets.

The guard at the head suddenly stopped, raised his hand to block the advance of the few people behind, he listened attentively, and whispered: "Someone! Everybody come with me. He glanced around and saw a large tree on the side of the street, and he and his guards climbed to the tree in twos and threes, and hid themselves among the dense foliage.

The sound of iron hooves stepping on the floor sounded, and more than a dozen people came from a distance on horseback, it was a squad of Li Jiajun in charge of patrolling.

One of the guards whispered: "Just more than a dozen people, kill them and grab horses, you can get to the barracks in front of the palace faster." ”

The guard at the head hesitated: "We are only responsible for passing on the secret decree, and we don't want to make any extraneous branches." ”

"There are only a dozen or so people, and we can kill them all in a few clicks. Aren't you afraid? A dignified master of the imperial guard, dealing with a few patrolling soldiers, still need to be considered, and even need to avoid its edge? ”

The guards at the head thought about it and felt that it was feasible to grab the horse, just with their own eight masters, if they couldn't deal with these dozen or so soldiers, it was better to hit their heads and die. "Alright, when they're within twenty paces, we'll do it."
