Chapter 168: The Palace's Attack and Defense

The viscous blood spread down the steps, dripping down, Zhang Yu, who took the first step, didn't wait too long, and the frightened Xie Gui and Ge Cheng followed in their footsteps.

Of course, this time it was Ma Sanbao's hand.

The bloody atmosphere in the air was heavier, no one spoke, the political envoy of Beiping, the governor of Beiping, commanded the governor of Beiping, and the three high-ranking officials of the imperial court died in front of him in such a sloppy and absurd way... Anyone needs time to sort out their emotions.

Gu Huai, who was silently watching, noticed Zhu Di's expression, which was a kind of relief that had let go of everything, and a flush of excitement and excitement... It's very hard to endure for more than half a year, and now that there is no turning back arrow from the bow, Zhu Di's pride and ambition are awakening in his vigorous body.

The posture of the three headless corpses falling down is ugly, Ge Cheng doesn't count it for the time being, Zhang Hao and Xie Gui died so ridiculously... However, it is also understandable that as high-ranking officials of the imperial court, their impromptu reaction is commendable, after realizing that Zhang Xin may betray the imperial court, they immediately organized troops to surround the Yan Wangfu, and wanted to try to take the opportunity to take the Yan Wang-but they failed to maintain this sobriety and sanity to the end, and when they walked into the palace gate, there was only one ending waiting for them.

Presumably, their biggest reliance is that the palace guards are all outside the city, and Zhu Di may not dare to kill them, because that means that Zhu Di not only has to face the crazy Beiping soldiers and guards, but also has to find a way to open the city gate...

They felt that Zhu Di didn't dare to play with his life, but Zhu Di told them that the bet was wrong.

Zhu Di's statement was very clear, after the words fell, the scene fell silent for a while, and the palace guards standing knew that there was going to be a war, and they had to tie their heads to the waistband of their trousers to play for their lives.

Zhu Di knew that his fate was about to be changed, either from vassal king to emperor, or die on the battlefield or fall into the hands of the imperial court - of course, the latter seemed to be no different from the former.

Gu Huai knew that since he crossed over, he had experienced more than half a year of busyness, and finally took this ride... Next, he will either become famous and finish the battle of Jingyan, or he will die with Zhu Di and be a nameless rebel in the history books.

After all, everyone is a human being, from the vassal king to the strategist to the general to the soldier, everyone has their own considerations, and rebellion is actually not suitable for celebration, especially before success, even if it is Zhu Di himself, who is righteous and strict, his heart should be a little empty at the moment, but there is one person present, but he is really elated.

The black-clothed monk Daoyan put away the Buddha beads, stopped chanting Buddha for more than ten years, put away the kind eyebrows and kind eyes of the past, and the fierce face revealed complete ecstasy for the first time in these years.

He is sixty-four years old, and he gave everything he had to wait for this opportunity! In his life, there was no youthful spirit, no sound dogs and horses, only a rough life and hard study day after day under the lonely lamp.

He is full of talent and learning, but he has never been prosperous in official affairs, and can only watch the waste in the court and guide the country; He has the world in mind, but no one knows that he has the ability to govern the government, so he can only be a monk!

I have endured it for so many years, not at this time, but when!

If you don't ascend to bliss, then you will go to hell, as long as you don't waste this life!

He swayed his sleeves, glanced at Gu Huai, and arched his hand together: "Lord Wang, it's time to do it." ”

……

Zhang Yu and Xie Gui died, but the soldiers in Beiping City outside the palace were still waiting, seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, but the two high-ranking officials still didn't mean to come out, the first thing the soldiers thought of was not that the two were in danger, but that they had been pulled over since the afternoon, and now... Haven't eaten yet.

After all, the soldiers are also people, and they follow the adults with knives to fight hard, and the adults have to take care of the food, but it is obvious that Zhang Xie and the two adults are a little unrighteous, and they enter the palace to eat and drink happily, but they leave their brothers outside to drink the northwest wind, which is really not very authentic.

The wrestling of the adults, the people below are not clear, after Zhang Xie and the two of them subdued the law, the intention of the court to take down the king of Yan did not come out, naturally no one will think that the two have been slaughtered by the king of Yan, the time has been waiting for a long time, it is dark, and there is no overtime pay if they wait, the soldiers are noisy around their own officials, probably annoyed by the trouble, a few Shangguan waved their hands, and left a little soldier to guard outside the palace, and the rest of the soldiers went back to their respective homes to find their mothers, and dispersed.

Zhu Neng, who was guarding the gatehouse, waited for his eyes to be pierced before the soldiers scattered, and immediately rushed out of the gate with the already armed palace guards, and slashed at the soldiers who were caught off guard outside.

The igniting fire and the shouting of killing quickly attracted the attention of those scattered soldiers, some of them were still shaving rice when they arrived at home, and they heard the news that Zhang Xie and the others were killed by King Yan, and the soldiers naturally didn't care and just wanted to eat and sleep, but the generals under Zhang Xie and the others were already going crazy.

The boss was killed, is this worth it? King Yan made it clear that he was going to rebel, and he didn't care about letting the soldiers rest anymore, so he hurriedly gathered the soldiers urgently and picked up the guys and prepared to go back to surround the palace.

But it's a pity, there are a large number of soldiers in the city, but there is no chief general to command, and the officials of the political envoy and the yamen are scurrying around in the battlefield, where have the officials of the yamen seen this kind of battle? It's too late to escape, where can you command the battle; Xie Gui's generals and soldiers are much better, but the time he took over the defense of Beiping is still short, and he hasn't had time to play the set of gathering the hearts of the army, I heard that the main general is dead, and the generals and soldiers under him are also in chaos, and there is even a ridiculous thing that two hundred households attacking the same side of Yanwang's Mansion have a quarrel and draw their swords against each other.

In contrast, the palace guards under the leadership of Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng's two commanders had much more tactics, taking the main gate of the palace as a stronghold, and began to sweep along the streets and alleys outside the palace, and the Beiping defenders who failed to attack the palace could only be scattered in batches, and then either fled or died on the spot.

Of course, there are not no extremely brave soldiers in Beiping City, generals who are good at commanding, but the battlefield is too chaotic, and the night can only rely on torches to illuminate, the front is lively, and a group of people are suddenly killed in the back, and it is not clear whether the friendly army was cut to pieces by the knife, plus Zhang Yu Xie Gui's death is really demoralizing, when the moon is on the top, the war outside the palace has temporarily ended.

Zhu Neng, whose upper body was covered with blood, wiped his face and looked at Zhang Yu, who was running from the other side with someone: "His grandma's, I haven't cut it so happily for a long time... Does the prince have any other orders? ”

The voice was full of anger, so it can be seen that the blood on his body should not be his, Zhang Yu waved the knife for a long time, and the hand holding the knife trembled a little: "The military order has been handed down, we have to find a way to beat Beiping down." ”

Zhu Neng looked back at the almost wounded soldiers: "How to fight?" What is the situation at the city gate, do you need to say more? ”

Since ancient times, the city has to be seized first, as long as all the city gates start, it is basically equivalent to controlling the entire city, the so-called closing the door and beating the dog is not unreasonable... But Zhang Hao's death was sloppy, but the preparations for dealing with King Yan were very sufficient, Zhu Di, the soldier guarding the city, must not be able to command, and he must not be able to deceive the city gate, no matter how chaotic the city is at this moment, the speed of information transmission is also limited, and the defenders of the city gate may not know what is happening at all...

In such a situation, running over with these palace guards is no different from sending them to death, and if the city gate guards know what is going on, they will treat them as the targets of the door and dogs...

But if you don't hit the city gate, you can't contact the Yan Wang guards outside, and if the guards don't enter the city, the palace will definitely not be able to defend it, and now this situation can still be maintained, most of it is because Zhang Yu Xie Gui died, and no one in the city came out to sit in the town.

If you stand up and collect the remnants of the army later, contact the defenders of the city gate, and surround the palace steadily...

Zhang Yuneng is literate and martial, he naturally thinks deeper than Zhu Neng, and his face is a little more gloomy, the prince is sitting in the palace at the moment, and he can't take the risk himself, if the army is halfway through and the mastermind of the rebellion is dead, it will really be a joke for the ages... But how could he and Zhu Neng rely on such a small number of troops to break down the city gate?

A figure in a green shirt walked out of the gate of the palace, his steps were a little anxious, and the warriors of the palace behind him were all holding wooden boxes.

He didn't know Zhu Neng very well, but he had met Zhang Yu many times, and at this moment, he was relieved to see that the two guard commanders were safe and sound.

Now is not the time to greet him, he beckoned, and said succinctly:

"The seven gates of the outer city of Beiping, the palace guards are all outside the Yongding Gate, we only need to lay this one city gate, and we can go directly to the barracks of the two guards in the left and middle!"

"As for the Beiping garrison guards outside the city..."Gu Huai looked at Zhang Xin who came out next to him, "I'll hand it over to Commander Zhang." ”

Zhang Xin, who is obviously a second-class military attachΓ©, has some respect for the Tsing Yi scholar in front of him: "There is no problem." ”

Hearing this answer, Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng looked at each other, didn't they know that they would be able to win the Yongding Gate? But the question is... How to fight?

Gu Huai took a wooden box and opened it, and inside was a neatly placed iron ball: "The siege battle is renewed..."

"From today."
