Chapter 50: Raising the Army

The outside of the city at night was not very peaceful, and in the camp, Tong Jingwu learned from the informant that Pei Huai'an was blind, and immediately discussed countermeasures with several uncles, planning to come by surprise and send troops into the capital as soon as dawn.

The Tong family has a strong military power, Tong Xiangming is unconscious, it is not a way to go on like this, and the reinforcements of the imperial court will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the chances of winning are even less.

The matter was settled.

In the early morning of the next day, near the end of the curfew, the Tong family quietly moved troops over at night to get closer to the capital, how could the imperial court not take precautions, and the spies entered the palace to report Yu Wende.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor on the couch sat up, his eyes gloomy, and a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It's finally about to start." ”

He turned to the dark guard and asked, "How are Zhang Meng and Cao Yucheng preparing?" ”

The dark guard, dressed in a black tights, knelt on one knee on the cold floor and replied: "Lord Zhang Meng is guarding the east gate with 10,000 soldiers, the 3,000 battalions are guarding the west gate with 10,000 soldiers, Cao Yucheng is guarding the north gate with 10,000 soldiers, and Wei Fu is guarding the south gate with 10,000 soldiers. ”

"There are 10,000 soldiers waiting around the palace as a line of defense."

There was no trace of emotion in his voice, and he reported coldly.

Yu Wende said calmly and calmly: "Pass the order, if they dare to get close to the capital five kilometers away, they will be killed, and they don't have to wait until they enter the city to kill." ”

"Yes." The Secret Guard ordered to retreat.

The emperor no longer had the mood to sleep, and called the eunuch to come in and dress.

The Tong family dared to be so presumptuous, it must be the news that Pei Huaian was poisoned and blinded.

The 70,000 reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the Tong family will also transfer troops back to Beijing, and 50,000 will be transferred again, which will also arrive the day after tomorrow.

The courtiers have too much power, they don't know their identity as courtiers, and they still want to rebel, hehe.

Without Pei Huai'an, I can do the same.

Shisha is a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall, with a stubble face, extremely thick eyebrows, and a pair of tiger and tiger eyes often with murderous aura.

Later, he was captured by Dongchang and has been locked in a secret prison.

Now that he has been rescued, he is a strong martial artist, and he can't wait to kill all the people in the court.

He and the Tong family formulated a plan to attack the east and the west, and each city gate sent 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and the east gate was the closest to the palace gate, and 20,000 soldiers and horses were concentrated to attack.

There are also thousands of hidden pillars hidden by the Tong family in the city.

Shi Sha and several generals fought bravely and well, full of combat experience, and were sure to enter the palace.

A bloody storm quietly set off.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already prepared for archers, and Zhang Meng guarded the east city gate, and when he saw the black soldiers coming, he shouted: "The emperor has an order, and those who surrender will not be investigated." You are all the people of Dayin, and you should have defended your family and country, not followed the Tong family to rebel. ”

Tong Jingwu has followed his father to the battlefield since he was a child, and he has the style of a general, and he has a way of appeasing people's hearts, and said: "My father has fought for the country for decades, and now he has fallen into an uncertain end, which is caused by Yu Wende, he poisoned my father, because my father has too much military power in his hands, this kind of person is not worthy of being the king, you soldiers want to seek justice for my father, kill me." ”

After he finished speaking, he rode his horse and took the lead in killing him.

The first to follow was Tong Jingwu's cronies, and then to the soldiers.

Zhang Meng's eyes became cold, and he said loudly: "Release the arrow." ”

Arrows rained down on the attacking soldiers.

However, they seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and picked up their shields to block it. In the early years, the Tong family went to find the master of public defeat and improved the armor, Rao is a sharp arrow, and he can't shoot through the armor.

The repeated victories on the battlefield fattened the courage of the Tong family.

Archery didn't seem to hurt these people much, and they soon attacked in front of them and fought with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

The soldiers and horses of the Tong family gained the upper hand with the help of armor, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court were caught off guard, and thousands of dark piles in the city were suddenly exposed, killing to the east city gate, which should be combined with the outside, and in the gloomy weather in the early morning, they occupied the fortress of the east city gate.

Zhang Meng was angry, and he personally went out to fight and greet his opponent, who was ten evils.

The two of them fought evenly matched.

The East City Gate was occupied, and Zhang Meng was still fighting, until someone came and shouted: "Lord Zhang, our people are seriously killed and wounded, and we can't protect this place, but we want to retreat?" ”

The retreat behind is gradually cut off, and if you don't take it again, it will be a dead end.

Zhang Meng slashed at the ten evils with a knife, the other party blocked it with Guan Gong's knife, he held it up, and withdrew more than a dozen steps away with light skills, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he wanted to fight.

The person next to him grabbed him and said, "Master Zhang, look around." ”

Surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the Tong family, Zhang Meng's eyes were even more murderous, he was actually defeated, how did he explain to the emperor, he wanted to fight again, and the people next to him stopped him: "My lord, please don't be impulsive, let's retreat first, I don't know what happened to the other three city gates." ”

He suppressed his anger, nodded, and stepped back quickly.

Finally, Jingwu walked to the side of Shisha and said, "Why don't you chase and kill?" ”

Shi Sha put away Guan Gong's knife and replied: "This person is not easy to kill, I don't want to waste time on him, I can kill a hundred people with the kung fu of fighting him, why bother?" It's better for him to go, and we'll lead our troops straight into the palace, where our focus will be. ”

Tong Jingwu immediately gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses and set off towards the palace.

The war came suddenly, many people went into hiding, and the once bustling street market was now empty.

After the Tong family broke through Shengjing, the first thing they did was to go straight to the palace and take the emperor's head, and there was no time to burn and plunder the people, after all, if they want to sit on the throne in the future, they must have the support of the people.

Along the way, many soldiers and horses from the imperial court came to stop them, and the battle was fierce.

After Zhang Meng escaped in embarrassment, on the way to the palace, he met Cao Yucheng, who was also embarrassed, and Beicheng was also lost, he asked: "Beicheng is also lost?" ”

was skeptical and asked, but Cao Yucheng replied: "Yes." ”

He wanted to die.

The two of them returned to the palace with very unkind faces to face the saint.

In the imperial study, Yu Wende's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly: "How can you lose it?" ”

Zhang Meng explained the matter of the armor, and said: "There is already an internal response of the Tong family in the city, and we were caught off guard. ”

Because he had fought against him, his robe was torn, a few strands of sideburns were scattered, and his arm was injured.

Cao Yucheng was in a similar situation on the side, with more injuries on his body than him.

Yu Wende looked at Da Chun on the side and asked, "How is the situation with the other city gates?" ”

The eunuch Da Chun respectfully reported: "The spies reported that the commander of the three thousand battalions has been killed, the west gate guarded by the deputy commander Xue Kangshi has not been captured and can still be blocked, and the south gate guarded by Dongchang Wei is not lightly breached, and is still resisting." ”

When the emperor heard this, his face became better.

Then he asked, "What about those who came in?" ”

Da Chun continued: "Tong Jingwu, Shi Sha, and Tong Kuan are heading to the palace to kill, and two quarters of an hour have passed, and the spies have not yet come to report. ”
