Chapter 24: The Palace Ambush

"Wait!"

Liu Fangliang stopped the three armies, and all the generals looked at the main general in confusion.

"General, why don't you go into the palace?" Wang Dehua beside him.

"Princess, I think there is fraud in the city."

Liu Fangliang said a word, and the white and fat face of the second prince Wang Dehua turned into a twist.

He didn't approve of Liu Fangliang's personal charge, thinking that it was a redundant move, breaking the palace and arresting Chongzhen, Ma Shiyao's 3,000 men and horses were more than enough.

"Where does the prince laugh from?" Liu Fangliang's tone was cold, and he probably saw the disdain in Wang Dehua's smile, and he was annoyed.

This eunuch is yin and yang, it is not that His Majesty King Chuang has an order, and he really wants to cut off his dog's head.

"Where does the general think the deception is?" Wang Dehua still smiled and asked rhetorically.

"Up to now, I haven't seen a single soldier of the Ming army, the palace gate is wide open, and there are no two knights from the rivers and lakes, does my father-in-law think this battle is normal?"

Liu Fangliang implied that there must be an ambush in the palace, which is Chongzhen's trick.

Liu Fangliang is all-round in civil and military affairs, meticulous in thought, and has followed Li Zicheng to make repeated military exploits over the years, and has won the trust of King Chuang, so he handed over tens of thousands of soldiers in the left battalion, one of his elite troops, to him to be responsible for commanding.

Wang Dehua smiled bitterly: "Ouch, my general, you are too cautious, the miscellaneous family is inseparable from that faint monarch, after so many years, you know the faint monarch and every grass and tree in the palace, where will there be any ambush now?" He wants to lay an ambush, is there an army? ”

"Also, yesterday, the miscellaneous family saw him personally ring the bell to summon the hundred officials, but after knocking on half the astronomical martial arts, no one came. The army mutinied, the mother and the princess were killed by him, and the eunuch and palace maid had already run out. The general doesn't have to charge himself, just waits inside, and it will be clear soon. ”

Wang Dehua said it with a mouth full of foam, reasonable and well-founded, Liu Fangliang had to believe it, and couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, this is the famous second prince around Chongzhen, what he said should not be false, could it be that General Ben is too worried?

As he spoke, the palace door squeaked and slammed shut.

Liu Fangliang and Wang Dehua's faces were stunned at the same time......

As soon as Ma Shiyao's 3,000 men and horses entered the city, Wang Chengen, who had been prepared, jumped down from the city, closed the palace gate, and locked the elephant trunk lock with a click.

This movement is not small, it alarmed the three thousand Dashun generals, Ma Shiyao and Ma Ming looked back, and felt that something was not good, this is the rhythm of the plan.

The second general has been marching and fighting for many years, besieging the city, and killing countless people, and they still have this common sense.

Sure enough, Wang Chengen struck three palms, and in an instant, on the top of the palace hall, on the red walls and green tiles, countless archers grew like a trick.

In fact, there were only more than 200 people, condescending, distributed in all directions, one after another, drawing bows and shooting arrows, and for a time the arrows rained down.

The three thousand soldiers who had just rushed into the palace and had not yet separated the east, west, north and south immediately became chaotic, and those who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another.

The screams, the scolding, the neighing of the war horses, the sound of each other colliding and trampling, became a pot of porridge.

These 3,000 Dashun troops can be regarded as elite soldiers, with rich combat experience, and they reacted quickly and hurriedly brandished swords and guns to block arrows, how could the Ming army occupy a favorable position at a high place, and some Dashun troops also planned to find cover, but it was in vain.

After running a lap, he was hit by an arrow and fell to the ground.

Because Chongzhen has long been optimistic about this, the air supremacy of this open space is occupied, and there are no dead ends under the bow and arrow, they have nowhere to hide, only to be shot.

"Don't mess around, protect the general!" Deputy General Ma Minggang shouted, and a carved arrow hit the door, and blood collapsed all over his face.

Ma Ming screamed and fell off the horse.

Ma Shiyao's guards were soon disrupted by the rain of arrows, and at this time they were too busy to take care of themselves, and they didn't care about General Ma or General Donkey.

At this time, the palace doors inside opened a few doors, and countless ambushes shouted and killed in all directions.

Due east is a group of brocade guards, led by Li Ruolian, the old man has white hair, but the flying fish suit embroidered spring knife is not reduced.

Around him were the commander Wang Guoxing and the Thousand Households Wang Wencai, as well as the Hundred Households Wang Shoulin, and at this time the wound on his neck had all healed.

Two hundred brocade guards came down from the mountain and slaughtered them from the east hall.

In the corner of the palace wall to the west were the family members of Gong Yonggu, plus the remaining one or two dozen soldiers of Jin Xuan, a total of more than a hundred people rushed out.

This team is not very numerous, but the leader is Gong Yonggu, and on the left and right of the old horse are his two right-hand men, Han Yin, the wind and thunder hand, and the eight-step flying Yang Wanli on the empty grass.

These two heroes in the rivers and lakes, one is the 3rd layer of the body refining realm, and the other is the 4th layer of the body refining realm.

There was also movement in the north, and two hundred soldiers rushed out of the palace, headed by Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department, who brought more than 400 soldiers to King Qin this time, which were all regular Beijing soldiers who were withdrawn from Andingmen, and they refused to surrender to the thieves, and swore to follow them to serve the imperial court.

At this time, the more than 400 people were divided into three parts, and the 200 people were led by Wang Jiayan and ambushed in the north hall. In addition, a hundred archers were singled out, and two hundred archers from other teams who could draw bows and shoot arrows were ambushed on the house, and the rest were musketeers, who were led by Wang Chengen to ambush at the noon gate in the south, and this team also came out from behind the butt of Zhang Shiyao's team.

For a time, all directions, including the house, were ambushed by the Ming army, trapping the 3,000 Dashun army in it.

Although the number of the Ming army was only 1,000, it was in a small place at the entrance of the palace, and it looked like the momentum of thousands of horses.
