Zhu Ruodeng, the king of Ji, looked at the city wall of Duanben Palace with a variety of thoughts. The move to seize the gate was going smoothly. Chen Bangyan, Chen Biao, and Zhebu all came to join him. Although only one of the 20,000 troops before entering the palace was left.
Seven thousand, but successfully defeated the numerically superior enemy and forced the crown prince into the Duanben Palace and Donghua Gate area.
Unfortunately, so far, there is still no news about the emperor's father and mother. Chen Biao and Zhebu reported that they found Empress Shi's Feng Jia and wanted to capture her and hand it over to him. Who would have thought that the sword has no eyes?
He died in the rebel army. He had fought in the war, so he naturally understood that no matter what happened in the war, it was normal, and he did not blame the second general. But, was Queen Shi really killed by the rebel army? Thinking of his second uncle Chen Biao
With an excited face, a trace of doubt arose in my heart.
In the face of a powerful enemy, I didn’t want to think too much. I tightened my shirt and prepared to engage in a new bloody battle.
"Your Highness, it's a great event." Zhang Mingxiang, a trusted general, broke in and said, "The Imperial Concubine is here."
"The concubine is here! Where is she?"
Zhu Ruodeng was overjoyed and hurriedly ran to find his mother and concubine.
"Deng'er!" Concubine Chen Huang was excited and happy when she saw her son.
Zhu Ruodeng saw that his mother was actually wearing a military uniform. Although she was born as a general, she had never worn a military uniform since she entered the palace. Now she is wearing a military uniform again for herself.
"My concubine, my son is unfilial and I have made you suffer!" His eyes were red, with tears in them.
"You've made your mark, my mother is proud of you!"
Concubine Chen Huang praised her son, and then suddenly said in a serious voice: "The enemy is now at hand, so we should take advantage of the situation and capture the East Palace quickly. Otherwise, once the enemy's main force returns to support, the situation will be in danger!"
"What the mother-in-law said is that the grudge between the son and the eldest brother should be settled," Zhu Ruodeng let out a long sigh.
??
"Woo~woo~woo~"
A melodious horn sounded from King Ji's army. Crown Prince Zhu Ruoji had been on an expedition to Burma, so he naturally knew that this was the clarion call for attack. Currently, the three main forces in the East Palace: Jinwu Town is besieging King Ji's Mansion and has not yet returned; Xiaoqi Town and Huben Town are engaged in fierce fighting.
; Fujun Town and Longhu Town were fighting fiercely. There were only 7,000 soldiers and horses guarding Duanben Palace, and most of them were remnants of defeated generals.
He ordered He Jiuyi and Hu Yiqing to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Donghua Gate. This was the door connecting Duan Ben Palace with the outside world and could not be missed. He led Zhang Guoyong and Yang Bangda, two generals, with 4,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Duan Ben Palace. Because
The troops were insufficient, so the ministers, palace officials, and eunuchs who were loyal to him all distributed weapons and went to the city to assist in the defense, gathering more than 2,000 people.
"Supervising the country, I am willing to go into battle to kill the enemy." Two gray-haired pavilion elders: Guan Shouzhen and Gu Yi, along with Guo Fengqian, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Tang Zhen, the right minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Xia Rubi, the left minister of the Criminal Ministry, and other princes
The party officials asked to go to the city to help defend. They are all the cronies of the crown prince. They are both prosperous and destructive. How can the eggs be intact when the nest is overthrown? For the sake of family and relatives, we can only fight to the death with the prince. p>
Zhu Ruoji looked at the white-haired, old and haggard chief assistant Guan Shouzhen, and was deeply moved. The chief assistant is seventy-one years old this year, but he still goes into battle to kill the enemy for himself. He is really loyal!
In a moment of excitement, he bowed deeply to all the ministers and said, "If you can quell the chaos of the party and bring order to the world, I will never forget your great righteousness today!"
"I am willing to die for His Royal Highness, the Supervisor of the Kingdom." Inside and outside Duan Ben Palace, the fighting spirit was high.
??
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
The rumbling sound of artillery kicked off the attack on the East Palace. The battle has become fierce. No one cares whether this is the palace. The cannons from both sides fire at each other, and the cannonballs fly past like locusts and bloom everywhere.
Group after group of soldiers of King Ji's army pushed ladders, crashed cars, and rushed towards the palace wall of Duanben Palace. The generals on both sides fought desperately. This was a war that could not be lost, and no one wanted to be a loser.
, to become a "rebellious party".
He Shixiong, a brave general in the King of Ji's army, held a sword and climbed onto the wall of Duanben Palace again. The last time he climbed the city, he was driven down by the defenders. This time he vowed to break the city.
Two East Palace guards holding long spears stabbed at them quickly. He Shixiong was not afraid. He ducked sideways to avoid one spear, and used his knife to cut off the tip of the other spear. He stepped closer and knocked the guard unconscious with a shield.
With a backhand knife, he cut down another guard.
"Bang!"
The firecrackers in the East Palace rang out, and He Shixiong fell to the top of the city. Anyone who kills will always be killed.
"Brothers, His Royal Highness King Ji is watching from behind, follow me forward," Mai Erxuan, the doctor of Dushui Division, shouted at his remaining more than 60 subordinates. These people are all his servants, and they are also his life and death.
Brother. Since ancient times, he has gained fame immediately. He volunteered to serve as a death squad just to show his face in front of His Majesty the King of Ji.
Seeing a general on the other side leading the charge, on the city wall, the commander-in-chief Yang Bangda called his soldiers to shoot at him. Arrows rained down, but no one hit him. When he was about to shoot again, he suddenly saw an arrow as fast as lightning, going straight into the general's throat. p>
Mai Erxuan clutched his throat and fell down. He only thought about meritorious service, becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister, but he did not expect that people would die in the war, and he would die too.
Yang Bangda looked at the trajectory of the arrow in surprise. Tang Zhen, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance, put down his bowstring and smiled politely at him.
The Minister of the Tang Dynasty was usually just a scholar, but he didn't expect that his shooting skills were so good! That scholar dared to die for His Highness, how could we, a martial artist, be inferior to a Confucian scholar? Thinking of this, Yang Bangda's eyes turned red, and he rushed towards the enemy to kill. p>
Both sides were furious. Some soldiers rolled down the city wall with the enemy in their arms; some were slashing at the corpses; others were seriously injured and fell to the ground, still biting the enemy??
After three consecutive attacks, they still failed to capture Duan Bengong.
"Your Highness, you can gather artillery and bombard Donghua Gate. Once this gate is broken, it will not be difficult to take the East Palace." Lu Shiyi proposed a plan to Zhu Ruodeng.
"What Master Lu said is exactly what I want," Zhu Ruodeng said with a smile. He is a general, so he naturally knows the importance of the commanding heights of Donghua Gate to Duanben Palace. The three waves of offensive just now were just a test.
He summoned the two generals Tuba and Vasilev, "You two are brave men in the army. Do you dare to take Donghua Gate alone?"
One of these two generals is from Mongolia, and the other is a Rakshasa general. Unlike those Han officials, they have no foundation in the court. They can only survive by relying on King Ji. Now King Ji has asked them to seize the city. What kind of trust is this
!The two of them clapped their chests loudly and vowed to capture the city for His Highness.
Rumbling cannon fire was fired at Donghua Gate one after another, seemingly refusing to stop until the city wall was knocked down. Before the smoke cleared, Vasilev led 500 gunmen to climb the city wall from the right gate, and along the city wall
Walking towards Donghua Gate, followed by Tuba's thousand infantrymen.
"Enemy attack!" The defenders discovered them.
"Shoot!" Vasilev ordered to shoot.
Five hundred gunners lined up in array, firing bullets in a continuous stream. The defenders continued to fall, causing heavy casualties. Even the commander-in-chief Hu Yiqing was hit by a stray bullet and died.
"Ula!" Vasilev ordered his men to put on their sabers and charge towards the defenders.
"Haorui!" A thousand Mongolian infantry led by Tuba followed closely behind, not to be outdone.
Ning Haibo He Jiuyi didn't say anything, he only focused on killing people, cutting down the King Ji's army who rushed up, and cut down more than ten people in a row.
Suddenly, he saw the bearded Vasilev and faced him with a knife.
Seeing that he was not tall or burly, Vasilev laughed loudly. I wonder if this skinny monkey can block my axe?
The European-style battle ax struck down lightly, and the man struck the air. But the man appeared behind him, holding the knife in front of him. Vasilev felt a pain in the back of his chest and lost consciousness.
Seeing that his own soldiers were fighting fiercely at Donghua Gate, Zhu Ruodeng personally beat the marching drum. Generals Chen Biao, Zhebu, and Zhang Mingxiang heard the drum and climbed up, and more and more soldiers rushed to Donghua Gate.
"I want to congratulate Jiuyi. I am a Western thief, and His Highness the Prince will not give up on me. I will treat him as a bastard. Now is the time for me to repay His Highness!"
He Jiuyi, who was seriously injured, let out a long sigh and jumped down from Donghua Gate. Several years later, there were still loyal souls weeping outside Donghua Gate.
