Chapter 1544: The Surrounded Tang Capital
Hearing Bian Yingying's words, the soldiers finally remembered the screams before, presumably those people never thought that one day they would die in their own hands.
"Huang Ye and Li Xi should have rebelled, but they are definitely not the main masterminds, and they don't know who the masterminds are.
Seeing that they attacked so resolutely, and now that they are so resolute in leaving, it is clear that their purpose is not to kill us all, but to have other more important things to do.
As far as my personal guess goes, they should attack Tang Jingcheng!"
Hearing Bian Yingying's words, the officers under him couldn't help but look at each other.
"My lord, the two armies together are only 30,000 people, and it is impossible for them to capture Tang Jingcheng.
Although there are not many Praetorian Guards in Tang Jing, they are all elites, and they are far superior to us in terms of equipment and cultivation.
Besides, the defense on the wall of Tangjing City is outrageously strong, it can be said that it is impregnable, and if you go to one or three or two, you will be sent to death!"
Wu Ming's face was full of puzzlement, and he spoke.
Bian Yingying frowned and pondered: "Since they dare to choose to rebel, they naturally have a thorough plan, and it is impossible to act hastily.
The strength of Tang Jingcheng is clear to the first and third armies, so it is absolutely impossible for them to attack Tang Jingcheng alone, and there must be people who cooperate with them. ”
Wu Ming was still at a loss, and said: "All the armies of the imperial court have been mobilized to the border, and even the city guards of many cities have been withdrawn, where else can they go to gather people!?"
Bian Yingying's face was gloomy when he looked at the sky, he had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't say it, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "We will go in the direction of Wushou Mountain now and assemble there."
It is the closest to Tang Jingcheng, and we still have at least 18,000 people here, which is more or less a force, and if we have the opportunity, we will definitely be able to contribute our own strength to Your Majesty. ”
After Bian Yingying finished speaking, he ordered the two armies to merge together.
The leaders of the four divisions were not able to evacuate in advance, and were finally killed by the enemy in the camp, and now the four divisions have no leader, so they can only fully accept the leadership of Bian Yingying, and are incorporated into the second army.
After hiding in the mountains and forests for a while, they found that there was indeed no danger, so they left the mountains and forests and began to make a detour in the direction of Tangjing City.
At this time, Li Rushan was still in the palace, and they didn't hear any news about the Zhenzhong Army.
However, at this moment, information suddenly came.
In the main hall, Li Rushan looked at a middle-aged man who was full of anxiety and knelt on the ground: "He Shuo, what kind of information made you rush directly into the main hall regardless of the rules." ”
He Shuo kowtowed in a panic and said: "Please atone for your sins, the big thing is not good, the city guards of seventeen cities have announced a rebellion, and they have gathered their troops into an army of 30,000 people, and they are killing us in a mighty way."
In addition, the army in the town also changed, the first and third two armies attacked the other two armies, four were destroyed on the spot, and the second was nowhere to be found, so they should be hiding. ”
When Li Rushan heard this, he suddenly "soared", stood up from the throne, his face was full of disbelief, and said: "How is it possible, the two armies of the Zhenzhong Army have rebelled, and the city guards of the seventeen cities have rebelled!?"
So how many armies are now heading towards Tang Jingcheng, have you figured it out!?"
He Shuo heard this: "Your Majesty, the two armies in the town have a total of 30,000 people, plus the defenders of the seventeen cities of 50,000, a total of 80,000 people, and they have reached a place not far outside the Tang City.
And also...... And ......"
"What's more, these guys have declared a mutiny, have they given a reason!?"
Li Rushan's heart was full of uneasiness at the moment, and his emotions had begun to become agitated.
"Yes...... Be...... Your Majesty...... They have a reason, they say...... Say to overthrow your rule.
They say you...... You were a brutal sinner who killed your father and brother to ascend to the throne.
They also said that they would overthrow your rule and support the Third Lord to succeed him and make him the new successor!"
He Shuo reported to Li Rushan in a trembling voice.
As soon as his words came out, the entire hall was in an uproar, and everyone didn't expect that after the other party's rebellion, the person who wanted to support the heir to the throne turned out to be the third prince who had never returned to the palace.
The third prince Li Rulin does have the right to inherit, but it is only after Li Rushan's death that he can inherit the throne, after all, his inheritance priority is not as good as Li Rushan's.
"How is it possible, the third brother only loves cultivation all his life, and he should have known about Li Ruhai's affairs at the beginning, he would never choose to overthrow me!
It is very likely that those guys are doing it under the pretense of the reputation of the third brother, and it has nothing to do with the third brother.
But now, no matter what the other party's purpose is, we have no choice, we must defend Tang Jingcheng to the death!!
Even if they have 80,000 people, we are not afraid, and immediately call back the army on the border line, and let them come back to help me kill the rebels.
The people of the Xuanwu Army can also be called back, and it is impossible for them to threaten us with the ranks of these lords!!"
Although Li Rushan was shocked when he first got the news, but now that he thinks about it carefully, he doesn't seem to have anything to fear, and the power in his hands should be much stronger than the other party.
Moreover, the walls of Tang Jingcheng City have amazing defensive power, and it is almost impossible for 80,000 people to take here.
After his subordinates went to mobilize the army according to the order, Li Rushan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Judging from a series of recent events, it is likely that the Great Yuan Kingdom was involved in this incident, and the army they displayed on the border successfully drained most of Li Rushan's forces.
In order to fight against the army of the Great Yuan Kingdom, Li Rushan gathered all the troops on the border, and even some of the defenders of the city were transferred, and now is the time when the defense of Tang Jingcheng is the most empty.
The fact that the town army, which was the largest defensive force he relied on, now turned around and attacked him, made him not feel frightened.
The garrisons of the other seventeen cities must not have rebelled suddenly, and this action must have been premeditated.
Li Rushan couldn't guess who the mastermind of the whole incident was, but he believed that it could definitely not be Li Rulin.
The gates of Tang Jingcheng City were soon closed, and all the Praetorian Guards in the city boarded the city and put on a posture of strict defense.
The two divisions of the Zhenzhong Army, as well as the guards of the Seventeen Cities, had gathered together at this moment and besieged the Tang Jingcheng City.
The fact that the Seventeen Cities were distributed in different areas and the distance between them and Tang Jingcheng was huge, and that they could converge at the same time, indicating that their rebellion did not start when the rebellion was announced, but had already taken action.
