Chapter 740: Siege (Asking for Votes)
The leading general had already galloped on his horse, and secretly said bad at the moment when he saw the signal flare exploding behind him.
But at this time, it was no longer possible to stop the horse, so he could only rush forward in one go.
After meeting with the 10,000 soldiers led by General Li An, enter the inner city through the Liang Gate, and it will be half the battle.
Two quarters of an hour later, they met without a hitch.
"General Li An, did you see the signal flare set off on the upper floor of Fangcai City?"
Ang Lee nodded.
"However, my lord, they have already determined that there are no other soldiers and horses in the city except for 10,000 guards, and we have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses here, plus more than 30,000 soldiers and horses entering from Xincaomen, which is enough to take down the entire imperial city."
Listening to Li An's vow, Xiang Shihong's worries fell: "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and cross the beam gate and attack the inner city together." ”
"Rush!"
The soldiers behind him were in high spirits, shouting and shouting all the way to Liangmen.
How dare the people go out.
For fear that the rebels would break into the house and kill indiscriminately, all the things that could block the door at home were taken out.
He also has a defensible guy in his hand.
Fortunately, they only wanted to attack the inner city as soon as possible, and they didn't have time to rob their homes.
Inside the Royal Palace
Zhao Zhen, who heard the news of the rebels entering the city, seemed to be able to hear the screams even if they were far away.
"Commander Zeng, is Pan Gong all arranged?"
Zeng Shengji and Pan Gong came out of the ranks, took two steps forward and hugged their fists, Pan Gong said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers and the county lord of Ruian have already laid out a formation at the gate of the east and west cities as early as yesterday, which can delay their pace of entering the inner city." In this way, it can also give the people in the city time to react, so as not to cause casualties to the people as much as possible. ”
These days, the vast majority of people can also feel the unusualness of Kyoto.
In the outer cities, the people would close their doors when it was dark.
And the purpose of the rebels is to attack the inner city and attack the imperial city, so they will not stay in the outer city.
As long as it's not sent to death, it shouldn't be a big deal.
But the inner city is very prosperous and has a rich nightlife, so it is not realistic for those people to come out one by one.
But we must not ignore the safety of the people because of this.
Therefore, before dawn today, the two of them went to each place to set up a formation, which was not a killing array, but an ordinary psychedelic array, delaying their journey into the city.
After Pan Gong finished speaking, Zeng Shengji continued: "Your Majesty, the Su Guards have been in place all over the inner city, and all the spies hidden inside have been found, as long as the rebels enter the city, they can catch turtles in the urn." ”
"Ryan and Ziyuan went to transfer reinforcements, where are they now?"
Pan Gong then said: "Before a stick of incense, the lord of Ruian sent a message to his ministers, and they were already five miles away from the outer city. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded.
They were transferred from a hundred miles from Kyoto to the Nishiyama battalion.
There were 30,000 garrisons in the Xishan camp, and Gu Qingjue took the skin care given by His Majesty, leaving only 2,000 people to guard the camp, and the rest of the men and horses were all dispatched.
In order not to be noticed by the rebels.
They waited for the rebels to move before leaving the camp, so they didn't arrive so quickly.
Gu Qingjue led two thousand hussars first.
When Pan Gong was talking to Zhao Zhen, the two thousand hussars had actually arrived in the outer city and were hiding in the outer city.
After the rebels entered the city, they set off into the city and began to set up defenses in all directions.
After Su Yixin arrived with the rest of the soldiers, Gu Qingjue had already arranged at various intersections, and only the soldiers needed to enter the streets in an orderly manner, wait for the signal, and enter the inner city.
After listening to their arrangement, Zhao Zhen nodded and got up: "Okay, I, and this Jiangshan Society will be handed over to you." ”
According to reliable sources.
This time, the rebels numbered about 60,000 and entered through the east and west gates.
At their speed, they should have broken through the outer city.
As he spoke, a red flare in the western sky streaked across the night sky, which was very eye-catching.
Zeng Shengji, who was standing outside the hall, entered the inner hall again in armor: "Your Majesty, they have entered the city. ”
Zhao Zhen looked at the night outside, took a deep breath, and said: "Death and injury are inevitable tonight, I just hope that after this time, I can purge the ill-intentioned people and return the Song Dynasty to stability for several years." ”
After saying that, he sat on the dragon chair, and he waited here for the result.
Li An and Xiang Shihong took 20,000 soldiers to the inner city.
But the originally bright night suddenly fogged up.
They couldn't see the road in front of them clearly.
Hell this is?
"What's going on?"
Li Ang rode a horse, and the horse kept spinning in place because he couldn't see the road clearly.
And gradually became restless and began to hiss.
Xiang Shihong was shocked into a cold sweat, such a loud horse bark, the soldiers defending the city must have heard it.
Sure enough, the soldiers on the city wall looked down, and immediately said: "Emergency, there are rebels, quickly, send a signal quickly." ”
In order to reassure the rebels, the soldiers guarding the city tonight did not know the inside story.
Therefore, suddenly seeing so many soldiers gathered under the city, the three souls and seven spirits were almost frightened. Guarding the inner city, they never dreamed that they would encounter such a thing one day.
"It's not good, it's been discovered."
Li An immediately decided: "Everyone prepare, attack the city!" ”
The gates of the inner city are not like the outer city, and there are also many sword cultivators among them, and after the general gives the order, he immediately flies towards the high place of the city wall.
Unexpectedly, he was still in mid-air, and he was shot down by a sharp arrow.
Dozens of sword cultivators, shot into a hornet's nest.
The rebels are all about losing their heads and destroying their homes, so how can they stop because of this.
Immediately push the big besiegers out from the rear.
"Boom, boom."
And the shouts of the soldiers cut through the night sky and fell into the ears of the people of the inner city.
The people who lived in the inner city were either rich or noble.
They ordered the courtyard to guard the gate of the mansion and not let the rebels take advantage of the chaos to enter the mansion.
After the soldiers on the city wall sent out the signal flare in a panic, they hurriedly began to defend, and they used whatever they had in their hands.
But Ping felt that they would not encounter anything in the inner city for the rest of their lives, and they were usually negligent in training, even if they were covered by the city walls, they were shot and killed by the rebels under the city.
When he was flustered, he saw the Su Guards who were originally in the imperial city coming.
Although there are not many, they are all good at one out of ten!
Seeing them is like seeing a savior.
Deputy Commander Lin Wenqi said: "You send a team of men and horses to evacuate the people in the city, remember to be orderly, and don't stampede." ”
"Yes, Deputy Commander Lin."
When the flare is issued, it is followed by the warning of the city bell.
Those who wandered around the night market learned that a rebel army was coming, and they were about to attack the inner city, so they ran home in fear.
Fortunately, everyone is very self-aware these days, and the vast majority of people still dare not go out at home.
Therefore, when I heard that there were rebels, although the people on the street were panicked, and the soldiers in the city evacuated in an orderly manner, there was no stampede.
