Chapter 341: The Change of Taihemen
By the third quarter of the fourth watch, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month had passed.
Jia Lian came by flying horse, approached the imperial city, and arrived under the end gate, at this time, the end gate was hidden, and the gate tower was already controlled by the Beijing camp soldiers of Yang Zhi's department.
After each of them clarified their identities, the gatehouse sergeant hurriedly opened the door, led Jia Lian and Ou Peng and others in, and then went back and forth to report the situation.
At the foot of the imperial city, the forbidden army was difficult to defend because of the vast outer wall, and the commander made Yang Zhi lead all the soldiers to come by stepping on the snow at night.
After Jia Lian, Ou Peng and more than 100 soldiers came in to end the door, the door was immediately sealed to prevent reinforcements from coming in.
Jia Lian's department walked further, and after passing the noon gate, he saw that a fire had broken out on the opposite side of the Jinshui Bridge, and he couldn't help but ask left and right: "Has Wu Xuejiu ever fought here?" Did the prince rescue him?"
The gatekeeper could not answer.
Seeing this, Jia Lian didn't stay any longer, and was busy leading Ou Peng to lead his soldiers to rush across the Jinshui Bridge and come to Taihemen.
The Imperial City Yulin Forbidden Army was retreating to Taihe Gate, and the chief officer Su Lanluting saw that the corner tower in front of him that had just been repaired was burned to the sky, and he was busy summoning reinforcements from everywhere.
The soldiers were fast, Jia Lian revealed his identity all the way, gathered the soldiers, and finally saw Yang Zhi, the general who was attacking Taihemen.
Yang Zhi's hair was scorched by the fire, and at this time, he came over with a scorched black face, and said anxiously: "Our people have been stuck here for a while, and there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops in the imperial city, if they are summoned by someone, I am afraid that something bad will happen!"
Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "The Taihe Gate is blocked, can the two doors of Zhendu and Zhaode over there pass?" And find out where Feng Ziying is guarding!"
Yang Zhi said, "Feng Ziying is gone, but some people say that they saw Gui Qi on the Taihe Gate Tower!"
As he spoke, Yang Zhi pointed to the Taihe door.
Jia Lian looked up, only to see the sky-high fire in the night, and Gui Qi just saw it, and the two of them were uncertain on their faces.
"Your Excellency! Then Wu used it!"
The soldiers who rushed to kill in a chaotic manner, I don't know who shouted, but I saw Wu Yong, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Tiandong rushing over from the Jinshui Bridge, and greeted them all the way to the front.
"It's too late!"
Wu Yong gritted his teeth and said, "After all, there are endless mistakes, and Yin Shi Youzhen of Shuntian Mansion and Xu Heng, the captain of the city gate, are also opposed!" Under the banner, he led more than 1,000 people from Chang'an Gate into the imperial city, and is now passing through Donghua Gate. Most of these people are from the three princes!"
Jia Lian glanced in the direction of Donghua Gate, hurriedly looked back and asked, "Where is the prince?"
Tonight's incident, the crown prince is the top priority, if it weren't for the fact that he was guarded by the three law divisions for days, he should have personally rescued the East Palace.
Wu Yong immediately replied: "When you came over, you avoided the chaos, and asked the East Palace to take a detour, just to call someone to pick you up. How should the people over there be treated by the people on the other side of Donghua Gate?"
Coming in from the Donghua Gate, it must also go straight to the Taihe Hall behind the Taihe Gate, where the ministers worship the place, and the stakes are significant.
Yang Zhi also came over at this time, and for a while, everyone looked at Jia Lian.
"There is no advance or retreat tonight! Yang Zhi continued to attack Taihemen, and Ou Peng led people to join me to rush and kill the rebels of the three princes!"
Jia Lian looked around left and right, drew his sword in his hand, and gave orders with anger all over his body.
Wu Yong looked at the golden water bridge when he came, and gritted his teeth and said, "That's how you should do things!" The Taihe Gate is not down, but the prince is not seen on the city wall. I will temporarily go to the Concord Gate to block it for a while, and when the prince appears, he will be able to enter the Taihe Palace, ring the bells and drums, and the great thing will be done!"
At the time when Qianjun was tied to a shot, he couldn't relax at all, and at the moment they were separated, and the shouts of killing under Taihe became more and more intense.
Jia Lian Oupeng led the troops to cross the Jinshui Bridge when they arrived, and they saw a city gate wide open, and I don't know how many soldiers poured in from that place, all with white scarves tied on their heads, and their mouths were whistling.
"A clear demon way! Women are evil and harm the country! Diligence in the king's business! Qingjun's side!"
……
"This is a rebel rebel, kill me back!"
Ou Peng personally rushed to the front
, shouting orders.
The armor on the opposite side is incomplete, and the soldiers here are elite, so although the enemy is outnumbered, they are also bravely moving forward for a while.
Under the Concord Gate, it is as if the corpses are used as a grinding plate, and blood is added to the wall of vermilion lacquer.
I don't know how long the fight lasted, Jia Lian held a sword in one hand and a broken spear in the other, relying on his armor to protect himself, and fought for his life into the passage inside the door.
Behind him, the soldiers of the Beijing battalion under the command of Ou Peng pushed forward again, and finally blocked all the enemy soldiers into the Concord Gate, after all, the passage was not wide, and the number of people on the opposite side could not be used, and the threat was greatly reduced for a while.
Jia Lian was about to forget about the big thing, and suddenly heard a shout from the retreat, saying that there were reinforcements from his own side.
Jia Lian sobered up a little at this time, and withdrew for the time being.
On the edge of the Jinshui Bridge, a group of soldiers carrying firearms in Wuyangyang were lining up.
With this reinforcement joining, Ou Peng's cadres and soldiers are temporarily resting. Hundreds of guns were fired from the Shenji Battalion to the passage inside the gate, and the enemy soldiers on the opposite side were scattered, and they didn't know where they went.
The leader dismounted, saw Jia Lian, and hurriedly took off his helmet and saluted.
"Lord Kaiyu! The Shenji Battalion has been flattened, and the lower officials are worried about the safety of the adults, so they left Huang Xin in the Shenji Battalion to take good care of them, and specially led soldiers to come to their aid to fight the national thieves!"
Jia Lian looked at the little seed in front of him, and complained that he put down the Shenji camp and didn't sit down, and sent Huang Xin over to help, but after all, it was also a great help, so it was not good to say more, and let him get up first, and said, "Block this door, I don't know how long it has been, whether the prince has appeared." You and Ou Peng leave some men to watch over here, and the rest of us will cross the bridge with me!"
Xiao Chong got up and even claimed to be.
First went down, ordered his subordinates, and then returned to cross the river with his arms, looking at Jia Lian who seemed to be washed in blood, he couldn't help but persuade with heartfelt emotion: "Since adults have a heavy responsibility, they must focus on the overall situation, and they should not easily take risks. If there is an accident, isn't it to leave the dragons without a leader?"
Jia Lian's footsteps did not stop, he looked at the Taihe Gate in front of him, and said casually: "It's not like when I was in the northern Xinjiang before, the terrain in the palace is chaotic, and I just walked to the front of the battle, and the news from there didn't come over."
Thousands of people ran across the bridge, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion and the Beijing Battalion were mixed together, and after a short time, they arrived in front of the Taihe Gate.
At this time, the shouting of killing had already disappeared, and Yang Zhi led a cadre of soldiers downstairs to confront Taihe Gate silently. Among the hundreds of remaining soldiers, several eunuchs were surrounding a man in an apricot yellow robe.
This person has a sallow complexion and a thin body, as if he has been cut out of a knife, and he is the prince of the East Palace who has not seen Jia Lian for a long time.
"It's hard for my brother to run around for me, how can I express my gratitude?"
The prince came out, barely showing a smile on his worried face, and said with emotion.
Jia Lian saluted and asked, "When did the prince arrive?"
Hearing this, knowing that the person in front of him was indeed the prince, Jia Lian immediately knelt on one knee behind him, whether it was the Shenji Battalion or the Jingying soldiers, they all shouted "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince".
The prince said, "I've just arrived. There are female officials in the court who bewitch the saints, and I don't know if this righteous thing can be accomplished?"
As he spoke, the man who looked at the closed Taihe Gate sighed and coughed again.
But one is indispensable, this time it can't be successful, and the court probably can't accommodate such an East Palace no matter what.
At this time, the small species on the side bowed again and said, "Weichen Shenji Camp Zuodu Governor can ask to see the prince Chitose."
The prince stopped coughing, and with a smile on his face, he looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile: "It can be seen that there are many loyal ministers and good generals in the Shenji camp, and in the future, when the younger brother is in power, he must not be slack."
Xiao Chong was busy and got up, with a smile on his face.
Just when the monarch and the minister got along, a burst of laughter suddenly came, attracting everyone's attention.
The sergeants on the side dispersed, revealing the figure of Wu Yong riding from under the Taihe Gate.
"The mountain called the prince, Gui Qi will disappear from the city tower after all, it can be seen that my plan is not wrong."
As he spoke, Wu Yong dismounted, pointed in the direction of the closed Taihe Gate, and said with a smile: "Brother, and the prince, look—"
With a dull sound, the Taihe door slowly opened at the right time, revealing Gui Qi and Feng Ziying, who were carrying knives and stained blood inside, and were lined up on the left and right, waiting for everyone in front of the door to enter.
Gui Qi has led his troops to defect!
