Chapter 157: The Dingzhou Army's Determination
The sonic shook the sky, abrupt, without warning, and countless people wearing Dingzhou cigarettes began to attack the Qin family from all directions of the square. A cavalry of about 1,000 men, like a sickle, swept sharply under the imperial city, and those towering ladders to the city were like ripe grains in a rice field in an instant, and with a bang, the roots were neatly cut off.
The ears of wheat are always heavy, and there are many rebels on the ladder who are bravely climbing upwards, and there is no expectation that any friendly troops will kill them from below, and the defense below the ladder does not take this problem into account. There were so many three-cut ladders, from both sides to the center, and they collapsed so miserably, and the rebels on them screamed miserably and fell from the high school, like grains spilled during rice harvesting.
Many people fell to their deaths on the ground, bleeding from their internal organs, and were crushed to the bottom by the heavy ladders that landed indiscriminately like rice stalks. And those rebel soldiers who had already landed in the imperial city suddenly felt something different behind them, and they couldn't help but feel shocked.
On the contrary, the only remaining part of the forbidden army and the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan in the imperial city found that the situation on the battlefield below had suddenly changed drastically, and they found the last chance of life, and their courage suddenly rushed into their chests. The people defending the palace rushed forward and divided and surrounded the rebels who had ascended the imperial city, leaving these Qin family soldiers who had no way to retreat into a desperate situation.
Rebels had already stormed the main entrance of the palace, carrying out a surprise killing, and had no idea what was happening behind them. The two teams of the Ye family's cavalry galloped close from the west and the direction of Taipingfang, and did not slow down in the slightest after sweeping away the ladder. Directly galloped into the main gate of the Black Hole Cave Palace, and launched an attack behind the rebels who entered the palace.
And above the square, the Dingzhou army, which occupied a favorable position. has already begun to counterattack the Qin family, and the Qin family's upper-level generals today have been killed and wounded, and the incident happened suddenly. Time. There was no way to organize an effective defense and counterattack.
On the battlefield. In fact, it is often the moment when the battlefield is decided that the winner is decided. The generals of the Dingzhou army and the local government carried out the commander's secret order before entering the city very well, and attacked with the power of thunder. Hit the Qin family's army by surprise. Time. The rebels suffered heavy casualties, and the balance of victory and defeat had tipped in favor of the Dingzhou army.
And why the scales are falling, not everyone can figure out, especially in the middle of the square, those who have been fighting desperately for two hours. Exhausted to the extreme. Seeing that they were about to face death, the forbidden army and the black knights. Even more staring. Obviously a little confused.
The bloodied prince and Jing Ge, who was bowed his head, stood together. Shocked to see the cries of killing all around. Black smoke. Sword light, sword shadow. Listen to the muffled humming of the ground in the square. Miserable. Toll. I found that the long knife in my hand was so heavy.
At this time, the rebels suddenly attacked each other. The Qin family couldn't protect themselves, and the Dingzhou army deliberately staggered the area in the middle of the square. The great prince is the one who protects the palace. Stunned, he stood in the clearing. Some don't understand what's going on.
A moment ago, they were still fighting desperately. The next moment. But they ...... It seems to have become a pure spectator. Something happens in Kyoto. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me anymore......
The eldest prince glanced at Jing Ge, who was covered in injuries beside him. frowned. As the commander of the Western Army. Of course, he knew how important it was to react on the battlefield. Whatever is going on inside the rebels right now. But if he is going to take advantage of this opportunity. It must be ordered immediately. Gather nearly 2,000 living forces inside and outside the palace.
However, there was a bit of confusion in his eyes, because the inside and outside of Miyagi had been divided into several war zones. At this time, the Praetorian Army wanted to twist into a rope. It's basically an impossible thing. And from the bottom of my heart. The eldest prince is also unwilling to let these subordinates who have been overdrawn to the apex. Breaking away again from this time is a rare moment of safety. Throw yourself into the midst of those wars.
So he had to see clearly. What exactly does the Dingzhou Army's sudden backlash mean, is it that the second child wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the crown prince and ascend the throne as emperor himself? But why did the Dingzhou Army deliberately stay away from this forbidden army. And is it trying to protect the palace? He suddenly thought of everything Fan Xiandi had done since the early hours of this morning. He thumped in the center of the earth.
Could it be that Fan Xian knew that the Ye family would make moves, so he issued those orders. Seeking a good opportunity for the other side, a forbidden soldier rushed to his side. He whispered a few words in his ear, briefly recounting the accident that had occurred in the middle camp of the rebel army that had been noticed earlier.
The eldest prince's eyes lit up slightly. Looking at the Dingzhou army shuttling around, looking at the Qin family's troops who were retreating not far away, and the dragon flag where the prince was located, he finally relaxed a little, and admired Fan Xiandi a little more.
――――――――――――――――――
From time to time, there was a rush of military orders. In the dust. The forces of all sides were gathering to kill, and the eldest prince took the only remaining 200 people and the Taipingfang to return to the forbidden army. Luck converged in one place, and slowly pressed towards the location of the imperial city. In the distance in the smoke and dust, the bright yellow dragon flag can be faintly seen, which is evacuating from the square.
The entire square has been turned into an asura. Although the Qin rebels suffered heavy casualties, they outnumbered the Dingzhou army. Although the military order was not smooth, relying on the natural excellent individual quality of the Qing army, the Dingzhou army still paid a great price.
The scene was very chaotic, and all the soldiers of the Diqing Kingdom had turned into countless small war groups and fought together. The emergence of this situation is precisely because of the chaos caused by the fact that at the beginning, the Dingzhou army was ordered by the prince and was ready to change formations with the Qin family.
Along the line of the Imperial City, battles were taking place on all sides. Everywhere there were people dying, everywhere people screaming, the autumn sun hung high in the sky, finally piercing through the smoke around the palace and shining everything clearly. The blood and water were flowing on the ground, especially in the places where there were moats on the three sides of the imperial city, and the blood had seeped into the river, and many dead and wounded soldiers also fell into the river, and some rebels who had not died completely were soaked in the cold moat. When he woke up, he was powerless to struggle to get ashore, and he was extremely miserable and powerless to struggle, and he sank down to the river. It looked like there were countless water ghosts in that moat, pulling them by their ankles.
Faced with the sudden blow of the Dingzhou army, the Qin family struggled to support it for a while. Finally defeated, several generals escorted the prince and led the team that had gathered back. Evacuated the square. Walk along the streets and alleys of Kyoto. Began to retreat to the Castle Gate Division, which was still under the control of the rebels.
The dragon flag retreated. The army was defeated again, and the Dingzhou army shouted in unison. Rush forward bravely. Suddenly, the battlefield spread from about three miles around the Imperial Palace to the whole of Kyoto. Hunt and be hunted, kill and be killed. Arrows fly. Swords and guns come out. The whole of Kyoto began to tremble. I know that today I will face a turmoil and bloodbath that I have not encountered in 16 years.
......
......
Gotta get it. Series
The sound of horses' hooves pierced the last remaining smoke on the ground. With a horse: Appear in front of the forbidden army and the black knights under the Imperial City. Appeared in this corner of the land that seemed to have been forgotten by the rebels.
Countless metal collisions sounded, and no one gave orders, no need to give orders. These are the extremely exhausted forbidden army and the black horsemen who have suffered heavy casualties. Suddenly, he burst into force. Extremely fast formation. Surrounded the general and the pro-army camp behind the general!
The faces of the soldiers behind the general changed drastically. Draw your sword out of the sheath!
The eldest prince walked out slowly. I looked at the familiar figure right away. He browled and remained silent.
Ye Zhong slowly raised his right arm. Dozens of pro-soldiers slowly withdrew their swords vigilantly, but they were still nervously staring at these remnants of soldiers who had brought them countless spiritual shocks. Previously above the square. These hundreds of cavalry. Twice rushed to kill. The rebels rushed to the ground and were in chaos. Pick Qin Heng with a gun. The sword breaks through the army. It's horrible.
"At the end of the year, 3,000 soldiers will be transferred to help His Highness defend the city. ”
Ye Zhong looked at the bloodied prince in front of him. There was a flash of admiration in his eyes. But the tone remained calm. "Gong Dian's arrival is coming soon. He helped His Highness control the situation. ”
The eldest prince looked at him. Still no mouth. Ye Zhong had already put his hand into his arms at this time. took out a waist card and threw it at the eldest prince from a distance.
The eldest prince raised his right arm, which was already extremely sore. Grabbed it in his hand and looked at it. It was found that Fan Xian only retrieved the waist card from his subordinates in the early hours of yesterday morning. I couldn't help frowning. Raising his head and looking at the horse, Ye Chong's body was as calm as a green mountain. Asked, "Father...... Emperor"
Only two words were spoken. Ye Zhong interrupted him. Because he knew what His Highness was going to ask, and he didn't know how to answer at all.
There are few fools in the royal landers. When Ye Zhong identified himself at this time, and there was Fan Xiandi's waist card as a token. The eldest prince has already clarified the role that Ye Chong played in this rebellion, and he also clearly knows a hierarchical character like Ye Chong. It's definitely not Fan Xian who can say that he is moving. It can only be said that before his father left Beijing, he pretended to come to sacrifice the Dingzhou army. Arrangements have been made!
The eldest prince took a deep breath. Without saying anything more, he directly issued an order: "Pursue it." ”
He knew that Ye Zhong was waiting for his own order. Although at this time, the Qin family had already been defeated. Although the sound of fighting still exists in the square. However, the Dingzhou Army of the Ye family had actually controlled the entire situation in Kyoto, but Ye Zhong still wanted to come to see him. Naturally, he needed himself, the commander of the forbidden army, and the eldest son of the royal family gave Ye Zhong a password.
At this time, the situation in his hands and the strength of the land in his hands already allowed Ye Zhong to be the controller of Kyoto, but he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to let anyone have such speculation afterwards. So he was especially respectful to the eldest prince.
......
......
The fighting has spread to Kyoto, inevitably affecting civilians who have been closed for a day and a night. Everywhere there are tragedies of war. The Dingzhou Military and Ground Cavalry Brigade had already pursued and killed the main camp of the Qin family, marching towards the location of the nine city gates in Kyoto.
And the crown prince was not under the dragon banner at all, this young man who was about to attack the palace and become the new monarch of Qingguo suddenly suffered a blow from the waist, and his dream was shattered in front of his eyes, and his face was already bleak. Fortunately, the loyal generals of the Qin family. The response is surprisingly fast. Fight your way out with the remnants of the army.
Li Chengqian didn't want to retreat because he knew. The only land that can be owned in his own hands is the army of the Qin family, if he withdraws from Kyoto. Although this world is big, where is there a place for himself? I'm afraid that even my aunt didn't expect the Ye family to rebel, right? The young prince smiled bitterly at the corner of his lips, and the war horse under him shook, which did not make his expression that seemed to be frozen change in the slightest.
I was thinking about it after I ascended the throne. How to win the Ye family from the second child's side, to be a real emperor, how to resist the pressure of his aunt, mother, grandmother and old man Qin, and pardon those civil officials on the city wall who are determined to be against him, especially the two scholars Shuhu.
Who would have expected that the Ye family would rebel like this!
My aunt is afraid that she doesn't know this earth-shattering news yet, her mother and grandmother are still trapped in the imperial city, and Old Man Qin ...... It's dead.
The prince had a sharp pain in his chest, and he was almost unable to stand up straight. A rebel general beside him said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, as long as you can go out of the city." Collect soldiers again, rush to the land, and our local people, when the time comes, go straight to the north, and meet with the governor of Yanda, and the big thing will be done!"
This makes sense, but Li Chengqian didn't believe it very much, because Fan Xian came back alive, and he was afraid that the governor of Yan Dadu would also die. And since the Ye family has rebelled, Uncle Liuyun is only afraid of ...... Alas. Li Chengqian sighed in his heart, and followed the horses towards the city gate, not knowing what kind of waves were waving in his heart.
Under the imperial city, one of the other rebel masterminds, the second prince, was looking at his father-in-law with a resentful and desperate look. Before Ye Zhong personally led the Dingzhou army to pursue, he somehow returned to his camp and glanced at his son-in-law.
"If you want to live, you have to remember what I said in Dingzhou Army today. ”
The second prince was restrained at this time, standing desolate under the horse, looking up at Ye Zhong stubbornly, and spitting. He knew what Ye Chongdi meant, and the Dingzhou army finally defected, nominally because he wanted to avenge his father and carry out his father's edict, but he knew that this was not the case.
Among all the people involved, in fact, the most desperate, shocked, and angry is the second prince. He didn't know that on Dadong Mountain, Emperor Qingguo said to Fan Xian that if possible, he would leave the second child alive, and at such a moment, the second prince never thought that he would survive.
And what angered him the most was that he seemed to have been planning for a long time...... It turns out that in the end, he is the stupidest person! Everything he has done now seems so ridiculous and so funny!
There was anger in his eyes, and his usual gentle face was particularly cold: "Father-in-law, you are really a good dog...... It's just that if your father is really dead, what will you do?"
Ye Zhong didn't say anything, slowly turned the horse's head, and the expression on his face became a little gloomy. The second prince screamed behind him, "You liars!"
At this moment, a heavy object suddenly fell from the imperial city, striking the hard stone slab, making a muffled sound. Falling was a man dressed in a beautiful costume. Hit by this heavy blow, her whole body was broken, blood flowed everywhere, and she had already died, but her head was still intact, revealing a dignified face with haggard despair and madness. Watching the dragon flag go away, the desperate queen finally fell to her death helplessly.
