Chapter six hundred and ninety first: fish dead and net broken
'The attack completely ruined everyone's fantasy.!
A sharp tongue, a pen as sharp as a knife, and conspiracy. All these things that everyone is good at in daily life have become so worthless after the cannon.
Yes, this is the rule, and obviously, everyone has forgotten this rule, as if the foundation of everything by force has completely disappeared, and the rise and fall of the world seems to be in the hands of those Gong Gong princes holding the Spring and Autumn Pen.
In their hands, the cannon told them that all this was an illusion, and the illusion meant that your tricks no longer worked.
In fact, no matter what position everyone stood on, they all had illusions. The minister who rescued him hoped that he would open his mouth and the Imperial Guards in the Forbidden City were infected by loyalty and immediately turned against them. The Imperial Guards guarding the city also felt that the other party was not good enough.
If you dare to mess up the lot, as long as you have a firm attitude, no one will dare to make mistakes.
When the illusion is shattered, countless people want to cry without tears.
The ministers below the city tower were better off, because although they wanted to cry, at least the direction of the muzzle was not aimed at them. They were lucky. They still had time to curse in their hearts. They could still be angry and okay.
Contempt, you can also get angry
Guan, they can regret it, they can laugh or cry, because after all, they are just bystanders. They saw the smoke rising, the air was filled with pungent smell, they saw the tongues of fire spitting out, they saw the blood and flesh flying everywhere, and they saw the most miserable human beings in the world.
of massacre.
Not only were the hopes of the Imperial Guards on the city tower shattered, but their flesh and blood bodies were also in danger. Explosive bombs exploded on the city wall. Countless stones were flying everywhere. Countless people issued desperate calls for help. Countless people
He fell from the city wall, and countless people cried for their fathers and mothers.
However, the artillery fire was merciless, and the new army was even more cruel. They were not affected in any way, did not hear the screams, and seemed not to see the flesh and blood in front of them being torn into pieces. Before the order was stopped, they mechanically kept watering the barrels.
, keep loading gunpowder, keep shooting.
Xu Qian squinted his eyes, revealing his cold side. He stood still, pursed his lips and sneered.
Some ministers had already rushed up, and this one said: "My lord, you can't." "My lord, this move is tantamount to rebellion. Is there anything you can't say properly?" "My lord, please quickly give the order to stop the troops..."
Some people even wanted to rush to the artillery team and shouted: "Kill me first..."
Xu Qian glanced at him and said: "Those who attack the artillery team will be killed without mercy1"
A very brief order, but immediately a royal captain rushed forward with a short blazing gun and directly beat the minister into a hornet's nest.
Everyone was stunned, crazy, crazy, what was in front of them was really crazy.
They all stopped talking. The once arrogant people suddenly realized that they were worse than ants. Suddenly, they were reduced from being masters in the clouds to being nothing more than a burden.
They obviously felt Xu Qian's contempt for them, but they all kept quiet, and no one dared to make a mistake. If it had been in the past, they would have scolded them, but now, everyone is so bold that they dare not speak out.
Xu Qian said sternly: "I have said that His Majesty is in critical condition. I have been deeply favored by the Emperor and have been ordered to rescue him."
Anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy. I have no interest in saying it a second or third time!"
A gap has been blown out of the city wall of the Meridian Gate.
The new troops on both wings, led by military attaches, drew their long swords one after another.
Qi Cheng squinted his eyes, walked in front of the array, and smiled coldly: "Go in, and kill those who resist!"
Someone else added: "After entering the palace, you are not allowed to make any mistakes, and you are not allowed to enter the deep palace and courtyard easily. You must obey orders in everything. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed!"
After that, Qi Cheng was the first to hear Qian Qian and jumped directly into the blood-red moat. Countless people plunged in without hesitation and swam forward.
The order of the guards on the city was in chaos. These normally noble guards were still vulnerable under the cover of artillery fire.
At this time, the admiral eunuch has arrived, and thousands of imperial guards have gathered in the palace. This admiral eunuch is Zhang Tianshi's confidant. He knows that once the opponent enters the imperial city, everything will be over, so he hisses and says: "Someone
Conspiracy, they use firearms well, don't fight with them head-on
, all go down to the tower, fight them in close combat, hold on... hold on, the Beijing camp in the city will naturally come to the rescue. These rebels will not be rampant for long, and His Majesty also ordered to kill Xu Qian and capture Xu Qian, no matter life or death.
, a bounty of thousands of catties, an order from the Duke of the country, a hereditary inheritance."
At this time, more and more imperial troops were retreating from the city tower, and they were so densely packed. Seeing that the artillery could not reach them, everyone calmed down.
Someone cheered: "They are good at firearms, and they will definitely not be as good as me in close combat. Hurry, summon the guards from all gates, and fight them to the death here."
The morale of the Imperial Guards has been restored a lot. For them, there is indeed a sense of pride. After all, they are Imperial Guards. They are all elite men selected from the army. At this time, they were beaten into disgrace, and some people cheered them up.
In addition, they also have a lot of prejudices against the New Army. In their eyes, the New Army is just a group of nouveau riche. Why should the New Army be compared with the guards? The New Army is good at firearms. So, let them see it.
What! Do melee combat.!
Countless new troops poured in from the gap one by one, dripping wet.
"kill!"
The guards did not hesitate and charged towards the new army.
The two armies fought fiercely together, and soon the Imperial Army retreated.
They tragically discovered that they were very good with the new weapons, and their hand-to-hand combat skills were even better. Not only were they unstoppable and could move forward without their lives, but they were also extremely powerful. Some of the new soldiers could even pierce the chests of the guards with a sword. In this way
With such strength, even if the guards were replaced, most of them wouldn't be able to do it. More importantly,
Yes, they are very organized in hand-to-hand combat, and will never drag the team without authorization. Everyone who rushes forward to kill will ensure that they have their own partners on both wings, and the new officers and soldiers in the rear team will also have a tacit understanding with the front team.
Replacement is carried out to ensure that everyone involved in the battle can maintain the best fighting condition.
The imperial army was defeated and fled in all directions.
Compared with the new army, they seem to be very inadequate.
Surrounded by a group of new troops, Xu Qian had already entered the palace. Looking up at the messy scene, he squinted, smiled coldly, and said: "Gather together."
The overwhelming army of troops quickly gathered and were in no hurry to pursue.
At this time, someone said: "Cabinet Minister Yang Tinghe has led a team of people into the harem to rescue him."
Xu Qian frowned and said, "There's no rush, let's go to Cining Palace first."
Xu Qian had some considerations in choosing Cining Palace. Zhang Tianshi can control the emperor. If he kills him directly now, there is no guarantee that he will not jump over the wall in a hurry. In this case, it is better to go to Cining Palace first. No matter what, he will get it first.
Let’s talk about the Queen Mother’s support.
"All the new troops are on standby here. They are not allowed to enter the palace. Thousands of captains are selected and they go in with me!"
As soon as the cannon fired, Jiajing's face turned rosy.
All fools know that Xu Qian took action.
Jiajing was by no means stupid. He quickly understood Zhang Tianshi's face, but he couldn't turn against him at this moment. He knew in his heart that Zhang Tianshi would never do anything to him, because Zhang Tianshi still had a set of procedures to complete, such as waiting until he was dying and saying that he was ready.
If there is nothing you can do, you can find a confidant in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and then invite the Hanlin or bachelor of the cabinet to draft a posthumous edict.
The edict is the key. Only by obtaining the edict can Zhang Tianshi have another amulet. However, Jiajing does not know much about who participated in Zhang Tianshi's rebellion, and it is obviously impossible for Zhang Tianshi to reveal that this is his trump card until the end.
At any time, he will never reveal it easily.
Now that Jiajing understands the other party's intentions, he will certainly not get furious. He can only continue to be "cheated" and show that he still trusts Zhang Tianshi.
But how could a proud person like him endure such pain? He would never allow himself to be looked at like a fool and deceived casually, not to mention even risking his own life.
Jiajing no longer knows how long he can live. Since he doesn't know, the only way is to struggle and get revenge. He wants to eat Zhang Tianshi's flesh and peel off Zhang Tianshi's skin, but he understands that there is nothing he can do.
, all hopes are pinned on Xu Qian.
The news that Xu Qian led troops to Beijing brought great hope to Jiajing.
But he also understood that even if he led troops into the capital, even if the guards of the Forbidden City were still loyal to him, they would not let Xu Qian bring his troops in because of their responsibilities. Xu Qian would not dare to make a mistake if he stopped outside.
Comparing himself with others, Jiajing did not dare to make a mistake, because everyone knew that once he made a mistake, it would be no different from treason. No matter what the banner was, this was not a good choice.
Jiajing spent his time in pride and self-blame. Every minute and every second, time passed very slowly, but he was powerless and could only waste time here.
As soon as the cannon fired, Jiajing's eyes lit up, Xu Qian... attacked the city.
Xu Qian lived up to his expectations and directly attacked the city with artillery. If it was just an ordinary siege, it would be just a show. But once the artillery was fired, what did it mean? It meant that Xu Qian planned to defeat the enemy.
"What a courage!" At this moment, Jiajing admired Xu Qian with all his heart, and the expectations in his heart were rekindled. He wished that Xu Qian would lead his troops here and kill all these rogues.
After the sound of the cannon sounded, Zhang Tianshi left here immediately. Obviously, he wanted to understand the situation and at the same time prepare a countermeasure.
In the empty dormitory, Jiajing exhaled, feeling even more complicated.
