Xiao Han took the belt and the five people squeezed forward, but fortunately, many people in the three armies knew him, gave way, and came to the gate of the imperial city after a while. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Sun Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Yang Shu, the commander of the horse army, Zhu Lingyun, the commander of the navy, and Zheng Yanhua, the commander of the infantry army, each rode a tall horse, and dozens of generals were guarded by them.

Seeing Xiao Han being led over by a deputy general, the four of them were overjoyed and got off their horses one after another. After everyone saw the ceremony, Sun Zhen said: "His Royal Highness is still in the palace now, Jinling is already in our hands, but we are in a hurry, what should we do if the lord harms His Royal Highness?"

Xiao Han sneered: "Li Yu is indecisive, and he has always flaunted his brotherly affection, how can he do this? Don't worry, you will attack the palace gate in a while, and I will take a few women to rush into the palace to save people." ”

Yang Shu said: "Long Shouzheng is in battle against the water, Zheng Bin has already led someone to arrest him, imprisoned him in Jiangning Mansion, and wait for His Highness to be rescued before he will be released." Seeing Xiao Han nodding, Yang Shui frowned and said: "All the ministers are under house arrest by our army and at home, and they are not allowed to go out, but if they attack the imperial city, how will the lord of the country deal with it?"

As soon as he asked, the generals looked at Xiao Han together. Xiao Han secretly scolded in his heart, it was you who rebelled or not, staring at me and looking at me.

No matter what you say, you can't get out of it, Xiao Han sighed secretly, glanced at Li Yueying who was following behind him, and said loudly: "Since the lord of the country has a deep brotherhood with His Royal Highness King Zheng, we naturally can't be wicked, and we must treat the palace well, and we must not disturb the ladies in the palace, let alone privately disturb every grass and tree in the palace, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

Sun Zhen nodded and said, "That's what I mean." Then he said to the two middle-aged scholars behind him: "Political Commissar Fang, Political Commissar Wei, you two are responsible for military discipline." The two were the general political commissars of the three armed forces, and they immediately bowed down and agreed, and then went down to give orders.

The walls of the Imperial City Palace are full of Shenwu soldiers, and there are several small stone throwers on the wall, and there are countless people moving wooden stones upwards to prepare for stubborn resistance. Outside, Zheng Yanhua's infantry army was responsible for the siege of the city, launching several large stone throwers, two giant siege vehicles, and five carts filled with thousands of fire mines.

The three armies retreated one after another, making room for Zheng Yanhua's siege troops. In charge of the siege was Zheng Yanhua's subordinate Gao Jingtang, who also participated in the battle of pacifying Nanping and Wuping. He led his 3,000 soldiers, and after the political commissar made a pre-war mobilization, all of them were fully equipped, and rushed forward in a siege formation.

At one time, the golden drums of the three armies cheered in unison, and the two generals under Zheng Yanhua were divided to the left and right at the same time, and commanded the infantry to build ladders to attack from the palace walls on both sides at the same time. Stone throwers and bows and arrows, fire and thunder overwhelmingly shot at the defenders on the palace wall, how could the defenders show weakness, followed by arrows and stones, and the sound of killing on both sides shook the sky.

Dozens of people rushed to the palace gate with siege engines in one hand and shields in the other, and rushed to the palace gate with a shout of earth-shattering explosions, and rushed to the palace gate in the blink of an eye.

Sun Zhen and the generals watched the battle from afar, Xiao Han stood behind him with five girls, and once again saw the siege battle with his own eyes, and his heart was still greatly shocked. As the saying goes: there are 10,000 people, and there is no edge. Under the city, the black pressure was full of siege soldiers, flying arrows were like rain, fire, thunder and explosions came and went, and there were casualties at every moment, Xiao Han once again experienced the cruelty of war.

The five girls behind him were already colorless, seeing that someone on the palace wall was hit by an arrow and fell down the city from time to time, and some stumps and broken arms were thrown from the city, they were so frightened that they all turned around and trembled, and leaned close together. They are also considered to have been in battle for a long time, but they have never seen such regular troops attacking the city, let alone imagined that it would be so cruel and tragic.

The two sides fought fiercely for a while, and the defenders of Miyagi were obviously not the opponents of these field armies, especially the fire and thunder were too powerful, Zheng Yanhua attacked the city on three sides, and the defenders were stumbling on the left and right, and they were obviously not supported.

Zheng Yanhua saw that victory was imminent, the palace gate was also smashed, and the city was broken in front of him, so he couldn't help but let out a strange scream, rushed to the drummer shirtless, snatched the drumstick in his hand, and shouted with all his strength: "Brothers, rush." "Then I picked up my arms and beat the drum desperately.

The commander beat the drum, and suddenly the sound of the golden drum shook the sky, and the sound of siege horns came and went, but it was the trumpeters of the cavalry and the navy troops who echoed each other from afar.

The siege soldiers were greatly encouraged, Gao Jingtang was hit by an arrow in his left arm, and he didn't have time to pull out the arrow, so he personally led his troops to rush forward and hit the door like a mad tiger.

The defenders of the palace wall were killed and wounded, followed by a group of forbidden troops rushed to the head of the city, quickly lined up to defend, stabbed down the ladders of Zheng Yanhua's troops besieging the city on both sides with long poles, followed by hundreds of people to pour lamp oil downward, lit it with a fire fold, and burned the siege soldiers into roast pigs.

The two sides were fighting bloodily, and the palace gate was about to be broken, Gao Jingtang's eyes widened, and he shouted loudly: "The first person to enter the city will be promoted to one level, and he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, rush." ”

People die for money, birds die for food, Tang Jun shouted, and together with force, the palace gate fell down with a bang, and pressed several forbidden soldiers who were desperately blocking behind them into meat slices.

Gao Jing Tang laughed wildly, waved the spear in his hand and said, "Brothers, kill." The three armies outside the city cheered in unison, and the defenders at the head of the city knew that the city was broken, and they were all colorless, and they all went down to the city to prepare for street fighting.

Sun Zhen nodded and praised: "General Gao is really a tiger general. Yang Shu nodded and said: "Like this kind of general, I have at least 100 members in Datang, and when it comes to tiger generals, I still rank first in Jianzhou Guo Ran and Yuanzhou Yanze." Zhu Lingyun nodded and said: "There are no less than forty people in our navy who seem to be high generals, and when the political situation is calm, why don't you have a three-army competition?"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, seeing that Zheng Yanhua's troops quickly assembled and rushed towards the palace gate, the palace city was already in a panic, Sun Zhen laughed, waved his horsewhip and said: "Rush into the palace and capture Li Yu alive." ”

The three armies agreed in unison, and the generals of their own unified armies marched forward in order. Gao Jingtang made a great achievement, grinned wildly with joy, and was just about to lead people to rush into the palace, when he heard a majestic voice say: "Retreat, don't alarm the lord of the country." ”

Gao Jing Tang was stunned for a moment, and when a personal soldier swung a knife, he slashed, and was blocked by a member of the door, Tang General, who waved a knife, and said sharply: "Open your dog eyes and see, this is His Royal Highness King Zheng." ”

Gao Jingtang naturally knew King Zheng, and when he heard this, he hurriedly wiped the sweat on his head and took a closer look, and saw Li Congshan, who had a serious and dignified face, slowly walked out of the palace gate surrounded by several Tang generals, and was startled, knelt down as soon as his legs were weak, and said loudly: "The commander of the First Army of the Infantry Army sent Gao Jingtang to meet His Royal Highness King Zheng. ”

All the soldiers under him knelt down one after another, and the soldiers outside the city saw Gao Jingtang leading the army to bow down from a distance, and they didn't know what was going on for a while. Zheng Yanhua, who was beating the drum, angrily led his own soldiers to rush up, and saw Li Congshan go out of the palace gate under the protection of the Tang Army, and was stunned, and immediately bowed down.

At this time, Gao Jingtang had already led his generals to stand up, turned his head and shouted, "His Royal Highness King Zheng has come out." The three armies cheered in unison, and Sun Zhen, Yang Shui, Zhu Lingyun and other generals quickly came over to pay their respects.

Xiao Han and Murong Qiuyu stayed behind, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a while, and they didn't know how this could happen. Li Yueying was overjoyed and said, "My seventh brother is fine." Meng Wanxi followed: "Wasn't he arrested?

Murong Qiuyu said softly: "It must be the forbidden army in the palace who surrendered to Cheng, protected King Zheng to escape, and made a contribution to the dragon." Xiao Han also meant this, and was hesitating whether to step forward to see it, when he heard the voice of Sanjun Mountain shouting Long Live and Li Congshan loudly pacifying the soldiers.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Yanhua had already led his troops to rush into the palace to arrest people, Gao Jingtang made the first great achievement, naturally not to be left behind, and immediately led the troops to defeat and disarm the stubborn Tianxing Army and the Crane Army, and successfully captured Miao Chengxun and Gui Yuanzhen, two generals of the unified army.

The left and right armies of Shenwu surrendered one after another, in fact, it was Feng Zicai, the commander of the left army of Shenwu, who escorted Li Congshan out just now, and I don't know when Li Congshan had already bought him. In the chaos, Feng Zicai took advantage of the opportunity to defend the palace city and found the place where Li Congshan was imprisoned with the secret cooperation of the people in the palace who were lurking in the hidden dragon, released him and brought him out, and made the first contribution to Conglong.

Chen Youding, the commander of the Shenwu Right Army, saw Feng Zicai surrender and knew that the general trend had gone, so he immediately surrendered to Zheng Yanhua.

Li Congshan was escorted by a group of high-ranking officials and generals to return to the mansion, perhaps because the generals were too excited, and they all forgot about Xiao Han and the others. Xiao Han and everyone hid aside, and saw that the cavalry had taken prisoners of Tianxing and the Zhuhe army, and the navy army also left under the leadership of the generals, leaving only Zheng Yanhua's infantry army to sweep the entire palace, and couldn't help but sigh: "The king is defeated and defeated, but that's it." ”

Meng Wanxi said suddenly: "People came out by themselves, and they didn't even say hello, what are we doing standing here stupidly?" Xiao Han smiled: "Daxing doesn't care about being careful, and he doesn't give up small gifts." King Zheng still has a lot of things to do now, so naturally he can't take care of us, since His Royal Highness has nothing to do, let's go back. ”

Li Yueying shook her head and said, "No, those rough soldiers will rush into the palace, what if they hurt my imperial brother and sister-in-law?" After speaking, she took the lead in rushing out, and Tang Jun, who was responsible for guarding the palace gate, immediately stopped her and scolded her to leave.

Xiao Han knew that the country had been transposed, and Li Yu's fate depended on Li Congshan's soft heart and hard heart, and it was useless to go in by himself.

Zheng Yanhua and Gao Jingtang rushed into the palace, although there were repeated orders from political commissars large and small, they still made a palace a mess. A group of eunuchs and palace maids were running around, and even more timid people were so frightened that they jumped into the well to commit suicide, Li Yu and Da Zhou Hou hid in the harem and were found and escorted out by Gao Jingtang's men. The old eunuch Meng Baixing fled without a trace, and he didn't know where to go.

The entire palace was ordered to be closed by the political commissar of the infantry army, and several soldiers who privately took the palace jewels were immediately beheaded for public display, and all the palace maids and eunuchs were counted and made one by one, and the palaces were imprisoned and waited. Li Yu and the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a group of concubines were placed under house arrest by Zheng Yanhua in the Qinghui Hall in the palace, which was originally a place for a concubine to practice.

Xiao Han was a little excited, and took everyone back to the hotel, Tianshan sent everyone to listen to what happened, and they were very emotional, fortunately, the people of the capital were not frightened, and the transition was smooth, and this matter had nothing to do with him, so he soon stopped caring about it, and asked about the search for Bi Rushuang and the white concubine.

Xiao Han was in a state of turmoil, and was about to leave now, when he heard a person outside the hotel shouting: "Your Highness has a decree, please send the head of Wudang Xiao Han and the two ladies to the mansion to speak." ”
