Chapter 297 Li Hanyao: Take Chestnuts from the Fire (1)
At this time, the south gate of the imperial city was in chaos: the dragon guards in silver-clad armor, the tiger guards in blue-clad armor, and the northern imperial guards in variegated clothes chopped and killed each other. Especially the tiger guards who had just been instigated, when facing the dragon guards and other tiger guards, both sides could not distinguish between the enemy and us; they had to do something without action - if they did not do it, they would be killed by the chaotic troops - and they all killed and slashed around.
Zhang Jinyan stood on the gate of the imperial city. Seeing this, he looked awesome - he must not let this situation continue. He hurriedly raised his right hand, and a dozen men with loud voices selected in advance came forward.
Jinyan shouted: "Call!"
The men hurriedly rushed to the city wall and shouted loudly to the bottom:
"The foolish monarch is unrighteous! Kill the loyal and kind!"
"The injustice of Wang Xiang and Lord Liang!"
"The injustice of the death of the loyal and righteous man!"
"The foolish monarch forced the right prime minister to death to death!"
"The foolish lord forced the right prime minister to thank him!"
...
These words were shouted repeatedly.
As mentioned earlier, these imperial guards were selected from the border and rotated every two years. They always admired King Xuanwu and King Zhuque the most, and had long complained about Emperor Jiaxing's cruelty to loyal and kindness, so the Tiger Guard was instigated to be rebelled. Now that the Dragon Guard heard this, he was also very confused and his fighting spirit was gradually disintegrated.
When fighting spirit collapses, actions will be relaxed.
The Xuanwu Army took advantage of the opportunity to enter, and one went up and the other was declining. The originally stiff battle situation turned to the Xuanwu Army, and the Dragon Imperial Guard retreated step by step.
This is also Wang He’s plan.
There were many old Xuanwu subordinates and relatives and friends in the Dragon and Tiger Guards, and Wang He did not send anyone to secretly instigate them. First, he did not know their thoughts and did not dare to take risks; second, he was afraid that things would be leaked and implicated them. So he decided to bombard the south gate of the imperial city, seize the city tower, and ordered people to shout on the city tower, which would shake the morale of the army.
Seeing this, Yuchi Chen and Pang Hua were very anxious.
Yuchi Chen thought to himself: If this continues, let alone cannot win. Even if he wins, it will delay the opportunity to rescue the car, and the casualties will be too heavy. The imperial city is not just the south gate, but also the east gate, the west gate and the north gate. There are few rebels, so strong soldiers and generals can be sent everywhere to defend? Let me change the gate and enter the palace.
After thinking about it, he ordered the retreat.
The Dragon Imperial Guard was shaken and didn't know what to do. If you turn your swords and guns to deal with your comrades now, you can't tell whether your comrades are the same as you; if you don't turn your swords and guns, you will lose the fighting spirit of fighting with the Xuanwu Army. Just then, Yuchi Chen sent an order to retreat. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: those who were looking for the emperor retreated with the general, and those who were looking for Xuanwu surrendered.
In this way, the distinction is clear.
Yuchi Chen was frightened to find that only a few hundred Dragon Imperial Guards were following him! Some of them died in battle and some surrendered. He was hesitant to see that there were only such a few people behind Yuchi Chen, and the prospects were not good, so he surrendered even harder.
For a moment, the war drums roared on the city tower.
Yuchi Chen and Pang Hua are not retreating now, but are defeated, and are chased by the Northern Imperial Army and the Tiger Guards, and are defeated like a mountain!
Zhang Jinyan was excited - my cousin was a clever plan!
He raised his hand again, and the fierce battle was stopped under the city tower. He shouted loudly to the Dragon Guard who had just surrendered: "It is a last resort to fight with the same family, which is heartbreaking! Since you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, you will be brothers from now on. If this prince drives you and others to kill your former comrades, it would be cruel. You don't have to enter the palace, you just protect them here and prevent other reinforcements from entering."
Everyone was very satisfied after hearing this and shouted, "The prince is wise!"
Zhang Jinyan also wanted to send people to control the officials of the six ministries. If the imperial guards in the northern border were sent, they might be disgusted by the officials and aroused their indignation. It would be better to send the Dragon Guard to the Dragon Guard. First, let everyone see that Emperor Jiaxing had lost the people's hearts; second, let these newly surrendered Dragon Guards serve and feel a sense of belonging.
At this moment, he asked who would like to go.
Several generals from the Dragon Imperial Guard asked for their orders.
Zhang Jinyan called a young commander named Peng Chong, who was the former subordinate of King Suzaku, who led a Thousand Dragons Guards to the Hanlin Academy on Changxing Road like a sheep, and avoided the fierce battle.
After the assignment, Zhang Jinyan sent a capable subordinate - who knew Wang He and Zhao Chaozong - to lead three thousand imperial guards in the northern border to the palace to support them.
Zhang Jinyan still stood at the south gate of the imperial city, using a telescope to look at the battle situation in the palace from afar, commanded and regulated the general battle situation, and echoed Wang He. Also, it is very close to the Xuanwu Palace of Zhuque Street, the Prince's Mansion of Chang'an Street, the Liuji Shopping Store opposite the Wang's Mansion, and the Hanlin Courtyard on Changxing Street. If something abnormal happens in these places, he can help him nearby and deal with it in time.
The movements of several people and horses have been explained, let’s talk about the palace and Qianyuan Palace.
Wang He's shot hit the top of Qianyuan Hall.
Emperor Jiaxing was asking Li Hanyao and Zheng Ruonan, but he was afraid that the thunder would come down. The earth was shaking and the mountains collapsed downwards, the glazed tiles, gold bricks and various broken wood pieces. The eunuch next to him was smashed to his brain and his eyes were bulging.
Li Hanyao knelt in the middle of the hall. The sound of shells blew up when the roof exploded, which made her subconsciously hold her head with her hands and lie on the ground. Almost at the same time, a huge object smashed down, causing the golden brick floor to shake violently. She was originally lying on the ground like a bent shrimp, but she was shocked. A shower fell on her shoulders and legs. The pain was very far away, as if it was not her body.
She felt her blood solidified, and her heartbeat stopped. She could not hear any sound. She only felt the ground vibrating, either slightly or heavy, from all directions.
As the sky collapsed and the earth collapsed, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened them slightly to see the huge object clearly: it was an arc-shaped object, and her jade hands were bent in the arc; her forehead was leaning against the arc, and the feeling was delicate and warm, and the fragrance lingers on her nose, as if it were not present. She lay on the ground, like an ant under a big tree, unable to see the whole picture of this object, but she knew that this was the load-bearing pillar of Qianyuan Hall! This was a golden nanmu, which I saw before entering the hall. Each of them was two people hugging each other, and there were several in the hall.
She couldn't help but tremble all over, and her eyes became hot - one inch more, and the pillar hit her beautiful little head!
She has never been so close to death!
Mount Tai presses the top but does not change his face?
No, she is only fifteen years old. In the cracks between life and death, she can’t help but miss her father, mother, and the young man who is as beautiful as jade - Wang He.
A beam of light shone down obliquely, and smoke and dust filled her. She seemed to see Wang He wearing a vermilion-embellished eight-piece Ruyi wide-sleeved brocade robe, with his sword eyebrows flying, and his eyes like black jade. He stood calmly in the light column, looking down on all directions.
She imagined several situations where the kings appeared, but she didn't expect that this would be the case. She was shocked and felt even more heartbroken.
Where did he get the artillery?
How did you escape the search?
Why do you want to bombard Qianyuan Palace?
Don't you know she's in the palace?
Have you ever thought about the consequences of hurting all officials?
Even if he wanted to shock Emperor Jiaxing, even if he didn't know that she happened to be with Emperor Jiaxing, even if the court had dispersed and all the ministers left, he could not bombard Qianyuan Palace - if the Qianyuan Palace was blown up, wouldn't you need silver if you made another investment? The civil war had already hurt the foundation of the country, how could it be bombarded and destroyed again? He should bombard the south gate of the imperial city!
