Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Bloody Chang'an
"emperor!"
Du Heng and Zhenfei were shocked, and Xiao Wenxuan's words shocked the two.
"I know my health. Even if I escape from Chang'an, I will not be able to withstand this long journey. What's more, the prince wants is my life. If I don't die, he will chase you."
At this moment, Xiao Wenxuan's weak body suddenly became a little straight. He thought a lot about these days while lying on the bed, and made a decision in his heart.
Du Heng said anxiously: "Emperor, the country cannot be without a king for a day. If the emperor does not leave, the world will be in chaos."
"Your Majesty, General Du's words are right. You will not be afraid of burning firewood when you stay in the mountains. As long as the emperor can escape from Chang'an and go to Qingzhou, he will definitely be able to quell the rebellion of the prince and the king of Zhao."
"Cough cough, you think of King Zhao too simply. Since he has taken dangerous moves this time, he must have absolute support. Besides, other vassal kings of different surnames have their own ulterior motives. Now that King Zhao has rebelled, they will definitely take the opportunity to become independent." Xiao Wenxuan said.
Concubine Zhen said: "Emperor, there are no vassal kings in different surnames, but we still have King Yong, King Wei and Ming'er, and they are still loyal to the royal family."
"That's right, they are there, but I'm afraid I won't be able to wait that day." Xiao Wenxuan suddenly coughed violently, and a trace of blood suddenly flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
"Emperor." Concubine Zhen became more and more panicked when she saw it.
Xiao Wenxuan spit out the blood from his mouth, and he sneered: "It seems that they have planned clearly when I will die. You don't have to say anything. Du Heng, no matter what, you must send Concubine Zhen to the King of Qi, otherwise King Zhao will use Concubine Zhen as a threat. At that time, if the King of Qi saves him, he will be in danger. If he doesn't save him, he will be scolded as unfilial by the people of the world. This is my last order."
Du Heng had tears in his eyes. He followed Xiao Wenxuan for twenty years, from the time he was to unify the world, he understood that many people in the Great Yu Kingdom called him a fool, cowardly and incompetent.
However, he has been with Xiao Wenxuan over the years and also understood that the current Dayu Kingdom has accumulated so much that his emperor is powerless.
He thought that if it weren't for Xiao Wenxuan's handling of the past few years, the seven kingdoms would have been separated. Of course, he also admitted that Xiao Wenxuan was not a perfect person and that he also had his own shortcomings.
It was precisely because of his obsession with the throne that he was confused and allowed the barbarians to enter the pass.
"Yes, the emperor, even if he fought for the life of the General Mo, the General Mo would send Concubine Zhen safely to please leave." Du Heng said firmly on his knees on the ground.
While the three of them were talking, a sound of shouting "kill" suddenly rang out of the Bishui Pavilion.
Du Heng stood up suddenly, and he understood that the guards of the outer palace had arrived.
Xiao Wenxuan also looked outside the Bishui Pavilion at this time. He picked up a sharp sword from the ground and walked slowly outside the Bishui Pavilion. Then he said to Du Heng: "Remember what you promised me."
Du Heng nodded fiercely and said to the soldiers behind him: "Protect Concubine Zhen."
Concubine Zhen originally wanted to go out with Xiao Wenxuan, but immediately she was stopped in the yard by Du Heng and his soldiers. Looking at Xiao Wenxuan who was struggling toward the battlefield step by step, Concubine Zhen's tears flowed down one after another.
The prince of Bishui Pavilion led the outer palace guards and rushed to lead more than 6,000 outer palace guards to launch an attack.
The sound of artillery fire outside the city was getting closer, which was a signal that the firearm battalion was constantly approaching, so he had to kill Xiao Wenxuan before the firearm battalion broke through the palace.
"Those who take Du Heng's head will be granted the title of Wanhu Hou and a reward of ten thousand taels!"
The desire for the throne had already caused the prince to go crazy, and he shouted at the top of his lungs like a violent beast.
The soldiers shouted and rushed towards the inner palace guards guarding in front of Bishui Pavilion. The soldiers under the heavy rewards were also crazy. They kept attacking the battle formation formed by the inner palace guards, and the number of twice the number made their morale high.
Casualties continue to occur, and the inner palace guards continue to retreat in the face of twice their enemies. Although they are also very brave, the disadvantage of numbers is sometimes irreparable.
While the palace was in a fierce battle, Chang'an City was already in chaos.
The city defense camp closed the gate of Chang'an City at this time to prevent troops from entering the city except King Zhao. There were many melee in Chang'an City.
The Right Martial Guard, dispatched by the prince, quickly rushed to Zhuque Street to charge against the Firearm Battalion, but retreated step by step under the fierce attack of the Firearm Battalion.
At the same time, the news of the prince's monarchy spread throughout Chang'an City amid the scouts' shouts. Some generals and ministers joined the firearm camp without hesitation after confirming the news. Some ministers were busy packing up their fine lines and preparing to escape, while more ministers were trembling with fear. They prayed not to affect themselves and were ready to congratulate the new king.
"Open fire!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Luo Hong commanded the musket team to advance steadily towards the imperial city. Training in Qingzhou had already allowed him to master how to command the musket troops. Under the continuous firepower of the third section of shooting, the soldiers of the Right Martial Guard rushed over fell one after another.
But ten times the enemies rushed over and over again, as if they could never be killed.
Luo Quan and Luo Hong stood together, and the power of the firearm shocked him. If it were in the past, how could these people in the Firearm Camp be able to defeat the people of the Right Martial Guard so easily?
While they were fighting with the Right Martial Guard, there was chaos behind the Right Martial Guard. Then a large number of people came from the west. Luo Quan immediately picked up the telescope and observed it. Then he was overjoyed, "It's the third prince and the fourth prince."
Fiji is behind Luo Quan, and he said, "This third prince is really too careful. If we hadn't launched the attack first, he would have been waiting."
"The King of Chu is an old fox, he is just a little fox." Luo Quan cursed, and then he said to Luo Hong: "Down with them immediately now."
Luo Hong nodded. Now the Right Martial Guard was attacked by both sides, and when he defeated him in one fell swoop, he immediately asked the soldiers to attack fiercely.
Under the attack of the left Wu Guard and the Firearm Battalion, the right Wu Guard soon became in chaos, and a large number of soldiers fled without fighting.
The imperial city was right in front of me. After the joint attack, the Zuo Wuwei and the Firearms Camp seemed to have a tacit understanding towards the imperial city.
At the same time, a group of ministers who shouted "Save the Emperor" rushed out with their own military and generals.
When they arrived in front of the imperial city, the soldiers of the Left Wu Guard immediately launched an siege. The soldiers carried the ladders to climb up the city wall. At this moment, a sound of cannons suddenly sounded, and the cannons on the inner palace wall spit out flames and poured down the shells.
Luo Hong was shocked, and he immediately shouted: "Pull the cannons up and smash them open the city gate, hurry!"
"Your Majesty, what kind of artillery cannons are installed in your inner palace?" Luo Quan also jumped.
Some of the cannons purchased by Xiao Wenxuan from Qingzhou were arranged outside the city gate, and some were arranged in the palace to be responsible for the garrison. Now these cannons have become the biggest obstacle to their siege.
