Chapter 411: Between Winning and Losing (1)

Not good! ”

"That's not right!"

The two strategists of Wu and Lin, who were pondering, shouted almost at the same time, which suddenly made Yun Xiang, who was already restless, even more flustered, and hurriedly asked: "I'm in a hurry to die, two gentlemen, please make it clear if you have something to say, what's wrong?" ”

Lin Xuanyi suddenly got up, and said with a nervous face: "It's too late to say more, Lin Mou will take the holy decree to transfer troops, Chengfu, you go with this official, the prince immediately sent someone into the palace, and ordered the palace door to be closed, without the prince's edict, no one is allowed to enter and exit without permission, be fast!" As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up a copy of the decree on the desk and rushed out. Sun Chengfu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed behind Lin Xuanyi, and rushed out of the palace, Lin and Sun led a group of "Honghu" masters to get on the horse, and rushed to the Dongzhi Gate, which was closest to Prince Yi's mansion.

"What's going on?" Yun Xiang saw that Lin Xuanyi didn't speak clearly and ran away, stomping his feet and screaming.

"Lord Wang, send someone to inform He Tie and Lord He first, and it's not too late to talk about other things slowly. Wu Sidao said calmly.

"Alas!" Yunxiang stomped his foot violently and shouted, "Someone." With Yun Xiang's shouting, several palace captains rushed into the study, Yun Xiang picked up his seal letter from the desk and handed it to one of the palace captains, and said calmly: "Shen Liu, take the king's seal letter, you immediately go to the palace guards to find He Tie and Lord He, let him close the palace door, no one is allowed to enter and leave the palace without a holy decree or this king's edict, go quickly!" ”

"Wow!" Shen Liu made a thousand, got up, and hurried away with the captain of the Ziwang Mansion. Yun Xiang finished handling this matter, and immediately turned to Wu Sidao, and asked with a suspicious expression: "Mr. Wu, why can't you say anything about it?" ”

Wu Sidao nodded lightly and said, "Lord Wang." It is a fact that the eighth master raised an army to rebel, what is his goal? ”

Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "The palace, but now the eighth manpower is not all ......."

"I'm afraid not necessarily. Wu Sidao sneered and interrupted Yun Xiang's words, stroked the long beard on his chest and said: "The primary goal of the Eighth Master is naturally the Imperial Palace, as long as he can control the Imperial City, ascend to the heights, and the role of rumors that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, the Eighth Master may not be able to succeed." Well. Moreover, the eighth master has always befriended eunuchs, and there is no possibility of trouble in the palace, as evidenced by rumors in the palace. At that time, even if the prince has a male soldier in his hand, he will be helpless. ”

"This ......" Yun Xiang thought of the possibility of the palace being occupied, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, staring at Wu Sidao in a daze, and he probably couldn't come back to his senses. Suddenly, a spirit shouted: "This king will enter the palace immediately." And he was going to go out.

"The prince doesn't need to panic too much, the palace must have taken precautions at this time, besides. The prince still needs to sit here to command, Wu someone is incapacitated, if there is an accident, the prince has to go out. Wu Sidao saw that Yunxiang was anxious to leave, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"In the palace? Guard against? Yun Xiang stood on his feet and muttered suspiciously.

Wu Sidao sighed and said: "Although the Queen Mother has always ignored foreign affairs, she is actually a shrewd person, and checking rumors in the front palace is to prevent eunuchs from making trouble. At this time, the fight outside was already hot, and the Queen Mother must have issued an edict to close the palace gate. ”

"Then why ......" Yun Xiang suddenly remembered that Wu Sidao had suggested that he go to the Imperial City Guards before his head, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Wu Sidao is a wise man who is as careful as a hair, and he can see Yunxiang's doubts at a glance, and secretly sighs in his heart that Yunxiang's political sense of smell is really far inferior to Yinzuo, but this matter is very important, and Wu Sidao is not easy to say, so he had to mention a sentence: "The queen mother's decree is that the queen mother will go to the ground." The prince's order naturally had to be given by the prince. ”

Yunxiang is not a fool. Standing on the spot and thinking about it, he understood the mystery - one is to communicate internal and external news, and the other is to let Yunxiang take this opportunity to show his loyalty. The reason is very simple: at this time, Yunxiang is in power, if the rebellion is quelled, it is naturally hard work, but the problem lies in this great merit, it is one thing to shake the lord with high merit, and it is another thing for the villain to slander, even if Yinzuo does not care for a while, but he can't stand the crowd's mouths, once Yunxiang goes wrong one day, ask someone to hold the handle, this counterinsurgency should come out of the scene is enough for Yunxiang to drink a pot, this time take the opportunity to please the Queen Mother, with the Queen Mother, Yunxiang can at least suffer a lot of boards.

"Thank you Mr. Wu for your advice, this king understands. Yunxiang is also a sober person, so he naturally knows that some words can only be understood but not spoken, so he thanked him vaguely, and no longer mentioned it, but frowned and said, "What should I do now?" ”

And so on. Wu Sidao replied without even thinking about it. Yun Xiang shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, but he didn't say anything, he sat down honestly, and pondered silently, so far there is no other way than waiting, Yun Xiang really has no other way but to wait for Yun Yu to make another move.

Yun Xiang is waiting, Yun Xi is also waiting, at this time Yun Xi is no longer in his own palace, hiding in a secret room in a private house, waiting for the last opportunity to come, he is anxious He has already walked countless back and forth in the room, but he has never waited for Wen Ruihe's arrival.

"Lord Wang. Wen Ruihe shouted respectfully in a hurry, interrupting Yun Xu's thoughts.

"How? How's it going? Yun Yu was in a hurry, he had long lost his former chic, and he didn't care about his demeanor, so he asked directly.

"Lord Wang, things are not going well, Liangcheng is really an ambush planted by the sixth master, Chongwenmen is lost, although Deshengmen is still fighting, but our side is weak, and the defeat is inevitable, now Liangcheng is leading the Chongwenmen soldiers to confront Heranda in Xizhimen, the palace gate has been closed, but fortunately, our secret background has not been exposed. It's getting dark, it's time to act, please give the order to the prince. Wen Ruihe said calmly.

"Okay, great, this king will go in person. Yun Yu didn't care about the failure of Chongwenmen and Deshengmen at all, and he didn't care about the current situation of Xizhimen, rubbed his palms, and said excitedly.

"The prince is still waiting for news here, Pu Heng is deeply favored by the prince. This matter is good for a certain prince, if there is a discord, the prince can still leave some seeds. Wen Ruihe shook his head and said.

"This ......" Yun Yu hesitated slightly, looking at Wen Ruihe without speaking.

"Lord Wang. Wen Ruihe knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Wen has been following the prince for sixteen years, and he has always received great favor from the prince, but he has no merit to repay the prince, and this is the time to serve the prince." Please also ask for the prince's permission. ”

"That's it, it's just bitter sir. Yun Yu stretched out his hand to help Wen Ruihe, and said with tears in his eyes: "Take care, sir, this king is here to wait for Mr.'s good letter." ”

Wen Ruihe nodded vigorously, stopped talking, and strode towards the door. When Wen Ruihe arrived at the door, Yun Yu suddenly shouted, "Sir, if yes." If...... Who should I give those things to? ”

As soon as Yun Yu said this, his lack of confidence suddenly appeared, how could Wen Rui and such a wise man not hear the meaning, and he didn't turn around. He paused at the door, sighed and said: "Whether it is the eldest brother or the fourth master, there is actually no difference, the prince has decided on his own, and he will go some." The voice fell. He walked out without looking back......

At three o'clock in the Shen hour, the sun has sunk in the west, but the light of the sky is still very bright, but as the center of the Beijing Division, the imperial city has already been spooned at this moment, the doors of the palace are closed, and the soldiers and guards of the inner palace are guarding the key places with their swords and guns out of the sheath, looking like a great enemy. In the palace, the gates of all places have been closed by the order of the Queen Mother, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace.

The tower of the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City was busy, hundreds of soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion were busy arranging various defensive measures, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded, several flying horses turned the long street, rushed through the small square in front of the Shenwu Gate, and hurried to the city gate downstairs, an officer who looked like a captain of the palace held a seal letter in his hand. He shouted loudly, "Which general is upstairs?" The lower official is Shen Liu, who taught Shen Liu in Prince Yi's mansion. I was ordered to come to meet He Tie, the commander of the Shanpu Battalion, and Lord He, and there was a letter here. Please pass me on your behalf. ”

A famous officer appeared on the tower of the city gate, looked at the group of people downstairs at the city gate, and said loudly: "I'm sorry, the queen mother has a decree, close the palace gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"This is very good, my lord was going to inform Lord He to guard the palace gate, please inform Lord He of the meaning of my lord's land, if it is convenient, please open the city gate temporarily, and allow the officials to see Lord He, and your lord can first check the seal of my lord. Shen Liu, downstairs at the city gate, held up the seal letter.

"Wait. The officer on the tower of the gate retracted again, and then lowered a small basket from the tower of the gate, and someone shouted, "Wait for the letter to be put in first." ”

Shen Liu looked at the small basket, then looked at the seal letter in his hand, thought about it for a while, or put the seal letter into it, the small basket was quickly put away, and after a while, He Tie's scarred face appeared from the city gate tower, looked at Shen Liuyi expressionlessly and said: "Thank you for reminding the queen mother, the queen mother already knows about this, the queen mother has a decree, without the queen mother's decree, no one is allowed to enter or leave, and your prince is no exception, please go back first, everything is waiting for the queen mother's decree." ”

"Thank you, Lord He, the officials and others will ...... immediately" Before Shen Liu and the others could speak, they suddenly heard a loud explosion from the Donghua Gate not far away, and they were so shocked that they retracted all the unfinished words, and looked in the direction of the Donghua Gate in amazement. He Tie had no time to talk nonsense with Shen Liu and the others, and rushed down the city gate tower and rushed towards the Donghua Gate......

On April 13 of the third year of Yuanzhuo, the grassland weather in early summer is like a child's face, saying that change can change, in the middle of the night it is still cloudy as if it is going to rain, but in the morning, as soon as the sun emerges, the clouds in the sky and sky have long been clouded and do not know where to go, there is not even a trace of clouds in the blue sky, the weather is surprisingly good, in other words, this is a good day to kill, as for who should be killed, it depends on God's will, if there is really such a God.

Although he didn't sleep well all night, Yinzuo still got up early in the morning, according to his habits for many years, he practiced fists and feet and swordsmanship outside the tent, which was considered to be a stretch of his muscles and bones, and he had some breakfast casually, and then walked to the woods on the top of the mountain, looked at the old Maozi camp on the plain below the mountain, and ignored the group of generals who followed behind him, just watched silently, thinking about the bloody battle that might happen today.

At this moment, there is a faint smoke in the camp of the Russian army. Obviously, the Russian army is also busy with the gang, yesterday's big explosion caused by the big crater appeared in the center of the barracks, and now this big pit is full of the stumps and broken arms of the dead Russian soldiers, and there is no Russian tent within 20 meters of that circumference, making the open space look particularly eye-catching like a bald man's head and scarring. Yin Zuo looked at it quietly for a while, the corners of his mouth curved, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Gongrong." Tell me my will, and prepare for war. ”

"Your Honor. Wang Changtai, who was standing silently behind Yinzuo, made a thousand, responded respectfully, turned around and ran back to the headquarters, and asked his heralds to go and inform the generals to prepare to meet the enemy.

The sun was already rising, and the early summer sun was shining warmly on the prairie, and the shower made people feel drowsy in this sunlight. It would be good if it was really good to sleep for a while, but the Qing army in a state of imminent war had no sleepiness at all, and watched every move in Lao Maozi's camp in the distance, and a tense atmosphere before the war was floating back and forth over the battlefield, making people feel breathless. Suddenly. A loud military horn sounded, and the originally silent Russian barracks suddenly woke up, and groups of Russian soldiers rushed out of the barracks and quickly formed a neat formation at the back door of the barracks. The officers' commands, loud military trumpets, and passionate war drums rang out in one piece, but in just a few moments, thousands of Russian soldiers were already standing neatly in the open space 300 meters away from the main position of the Qing army.

"Soldiers, you are fighting for the Empire, fighting for His Majesty the Emperor, you are the pride of the Empire, and now the Empire needs you to fight bloody battles and show your courage. Let the yellow-skinned monkeys see what a real soldier is, all for the Empire!" Riding on horseback, Major General Buchruski strolled along the front of the queue, inspecting his troops and delivering a pre-battle speech to boost morale.

"Ulla, all for the Empire!" Thousands of Russian troops raised their rifles at the same time and shouted loudly. Sonic boom in the sky.

"Good!" Major General Buchrusky pulled out the command knife at his waist and pointed at the main position of the Qing army in the distance, and ordered in a loud voice: "I order." The second regiment attacked! ”

Lieutenant Colonel Xudovsky, who temporarily acted as the commander of the 2nd Regiment, did not even ride a horse, and walked at the front of the regiment on foot. The command knife in his hand stretched forward suddenly, pointing straight at a small hill at the front of the battlefield, and said loudly: "For the empire, victory!" ”

"Ulla, victory! Victory! The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment of the Russian Army chanted slogans and began to move forward to the beat of passionate drums.

The topography of the main position of the Qing army is: two small hills with a height of about 20 zhang stand opposite each other, but they are not completely connected with each other, there is a gap of about more than 10 zhang in the middle, and the two mountains are not parallel, but staggered several zhang, although these two hills are not high, but the slope is gentle, and the front of each mountain bag has a length of 100 zhang; Walk up 100 meters through the open space between the two mountains is the main peak where Yinzuo is located, there is a lump of soil in the distance about 20 zhang before these two portals are loaded with small hills, no more than 10 zhang high, there is the forefront of the Qing army's position, guarded by more than 300 soldiers of the forward battalion and 30 people of the artillery battalion, a total of four artillery pieces. The Qing army dug two trenches on the mountainside and the top of each mountain, and there were communication trenches between the various positions, and the three mountain positions had a total of 63 artillery pieces and more than 4,000 soldiers, and the carefully constructed artillery positions could cover the entire theater of war.

"General, Lao Maozi is really stupid, lined up so neatly, what a good shooting target, my artillery can fire, right?" Li Di, the former commander of the artillery battalion, saw that the Russian army was dispatched, and his heart was itching, so he hurriedly ran to the side of the position commander, the guerrilla general Chen Miao, and muttered in a low voice.

Guarding this salient is Chen Miao's department who withdrew from the camp yesterday, and yesterday he ate a "defeat" and was itching in his heart, at this time, he listened to Li Di's nagging, and immediately said angrily: "There is a fart for fighting infantry, see no, Lao Maozi's artillery is busy moving forward at this time, Lao Tzu doesn't want to be shelled, if you have the ability, your four cannons will kill Lao Maozi's six cannons, those old Maozi infantry are not enough for Lao Tzu to clean up." ”

"Hehe, Cheng, look at me, general, this is what you said yourself, I'm going to fight. Li Di smiled and slipped back to the artillery position more than ten zhang behind the position......
