Zhao Kuangyin was decisive in employing troops and was outstandingly sensitive to the war situation.
After understanding Luo Youdu's arrangements for the navy, he did not spend time traveling westward or crossing the Yellow River north.
Choose to go south decisively, taking advantage of Hantong's lack of prestige to seize time to break through the encirclement, then turn west and then go north.
This road is not easy to walk, Zhao Kuangyin's heart is like a mirror, but it is his only way to survive at present.
At the same time, he could not let the soldiers in the front office know his intentions, otherwise they would immediately mutiny.
After all, most of the family members of the Forbidden Army were in Bianjing. They were willing to let them fight and quell the rebellion, but it was impossible for them to abandon their wives and children and go to the Northern Han Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin did not have the confidence to persuade 20,000 people to follow him and leave his hometown, abandoning his wife and children.
He also didn't have time to mobilize before the war.
Most of the 20,000 people will become victims of the siege-breaking battle. The ideal situation is to take away a group of military backbones and some die-hard personal guards.
As long as the team is still alive, Zhao Kuangyin will have the confidence to rise.
I went to the Northern Han Dynasty not to surrender to the Northern Han Dynasty, but because I had nowhere to go and I wanted to borrow some money and food.
The Northern Han Dynasty is too small, so even if it is demoted, it may not be reused.
It is better to conquer a piece of land like the Dingnan Army and Fugu Zhejia, and strengthen their strength step by step.
Zhao Kuangyin, who had already developed ambitions, no longer wanted to be used by others and worked hard for them.
Dawn gradually comes, and the long and chaotic night finally passes.
Zhao Kuangyin shouted and urged the soldiers to march faster.
This army is out there and they don't know what's going on. Zhao Kuangyin alone has the final say on right and wrong.
He said he was going to fight Luo Youdu and Qingjun.
The army followed suit.
Then he changed his story and said that something happened in Bianjing. The prime minister headed by Fan Zhi defeated Han Tong with the help of the Dianqiansi in the city, and Luo Youdu took the navy to go south to support Bianjing. As long as they defeated the navy, victory was in sight.
Naturally, the front secretary followed him back without any complaints...
Until Chenqiaoyi.
Chenqiaoyi was originally a small village. Because there was a small bridge in the village that had been in disrepair for a year, it was extremely inconvenient for pedestrians to come and go.
A rich man named Chen in the village donated money to restore it, so it was named Chen Bridge.
Zhou Dynasty built a huge post station here and renamed it Chenqiao Station.
At this moment, Chenqiaoyi was filled with soldiers who were guarding the army. They even built antlers in front of the formation...
Zhao Kuangyin's ability to charge and break the formation is unparalleled in the world, and the antlers can very well limit Zhao Kuangyin's ability to break the siege and break the formation.
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded immediately, and behind them, three cavalry teams formed a semi-encirclement posture, cooperating with the guards and pro-army divisions to form an encirclement.
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Zhao Kuangyin colluded with Prime Minister Fan Zhi to commit treason. Only the leader of the thieves was killed. The rest surrendered without guilt."
Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, and their voices resounded throughout the world.
When the soldiers in front of the palace heard such shouts, they were frightened. They were obviously out to quell the chaos, so how could they become rebels?
However, they still tend to trust their superiors.
Zhao Kuangyin still has a very high prestige in the palace.
But as Zhang Yongde, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun led more than ten people out of the crowd.
The soldiers in the front department were in an uproar as they looked at the three familiar people.
Zhang Yongde's prestige in the Dianqian Division was no less than that of Zhao Kuangyin. Shi Shouxin was also one of the pillars of the Dianqian Division. Han Chongyun was much inferior, but he was also a general in the Dianqian Division.
The three of them, along with a few others, appeared in front of the formations of the two armies. The soldiers in front of the palace immediately hesitated.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at his old boss in front of him, then at Wang Shenqi beside him, and smiled sadly.
Under normal circumstances, Zhao Kuangyin would have had time to break through the encirclement.
Han Tong's control over the Imperial Guards Division is far inferior to Luo Youdu's control over the Imperial Camp Division, and his control over the Palace Division...
Han Tong couldn't set up a fifteen-mile defense line in a short period of time.
No matter how deeply Luo Youdu discerns people's hearts, he can never accurately calculate where he will break out.
The only explanation is that someone leaked the direction of the breakout, and the other party did not spread out its troops, but set up a smaller encirclement on the breakout road that they had carefully set up.
Wang Shenqi turned his head away with a bit of shame.
"Second brother, you and I are commoner friends!"
Zhao Kuangyin had full confidence in himself, at least his core foundation was still there, but he didn't want to give him a slap in the face.
The brother he trusted most betrayed himself at this critical moment of life and death.
If you can’t even trust the person you trust the most, who can you trust?
Why is this happening?
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't understand.
Little did they know that life is like this, a small deviation can lead to earth-shaking changes.
Zhao Kuangyin's character is originally a hero, heroic, chivalrous, and invincible.
However, in order to compete with Luo Youdu, he gradually went astray due to various instigations.
Especially when Luo Youdu intercepted Zhao Pu, it was like Liu Bei losing Zhuge Liang and Fu Jian losing Wang Meng.
Zhao Pu may not be as perfect as Zhuge Liang, and Wang Meng is as perfect and proficient in everything, but the areas he is good at can just make up for the shortcomings of Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Pu's delicate thoughts and Zhao Kuangyin's openness and harmony are a perfect match.
Invincible bravery on the battlefield cannot make up for repeated defeats in the political arena.
With the situation in hand, Zhao Kuangyin was completely defeated from the beginning.
Wang Shenqi opened his mouth and said, "You shouldn't attack the palace commander again and again!"
The palace commander here obviously refers to Zhang Yongde.
Zhao Kuangyin stopped talking. As for Zhang Yongde's kindness to him, he himself knew that there was no way to wash it off.
Looking at Zhang Yongde, Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun who were getting closer and closer, they shouted: "Believe in me, brother, follow me to break through."
He could not wait for Zhang Yongde, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun to come forward to persuade him to surrender. Once he spoke, the situation would be even worse.
He ignored it and rushed westwards.
There is a field of antlers in front, but the troops on the right side are the weakest. Looking at the flags, they should be the Dragon Guards of the Royal Camp Division.
The Dragon Guard's mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, with only a thousand cavalry among them, is the best breakthrough point.
He pointed the iron rod in his hand toward the west and took the lead without hesitation.
Luo Yanxuan, Yang Guangyi, and Liu Shouzhong followed behind without any hesitation.
About two thousand soldiers came out without hesitation, and then more than a thousand people scattered behind them.
The remaining 17,800 people finally chose to lay down their weapons.
Zhao Kuangyin looked back and saw that there were still more than 3,000 people willing to fight to the death with him. His eyes turned red and he thought to himself: "If I can survive, I will never let down such brothers."
Luo Yanxuan suddenly shouted: "Prince Commander, be careful!"
Zhao Kuangyin looked forward alertly, and Zhang Qiong's Dragon Guards all held crossbows and aimed at him...
Zhang Qiong shouted: "Shoot!"
The bowstring vibrates.
Zhao Kuangyin had three thousand soldiers behind him, as well as many brave generals.
But all the crossbow arrows were aimed in the direction of Zhao Kuangyin...
Thousands of crossbows pierced the air, like locusts approaching...
Zhao Kuangyin had unparalleled martial prowess. Faced with this unreasonable shooting method, he could only let his horse stand upright and block most of the crossbow arrows for himself.
The war horse had more than a hundred arrows in its belly.
The crossbow arrows were too dense, and Zhao Kuangyin was still hit by more than twenty arrows as the war horse could not block his hands and feet.
The powerful force of the crossbow shot the war horse with its front hooves in the air, causing it to flip backwards and heavily press Zhao Kuangyin on the horse.
With the blessing of various powers, Zhao Kuangyin fell unconscious as if his chest had been hit by a boulder...
In a daze, a thought came to Zhao Kuangyin's mind:
Where is this place?
oh!
Chenqiaoyi!
The target of the crossbow arrows was not Luo Yanxuan and Yang Guangyi, but they were frantically trying to save Zhao Kuangyin, but they were also affected by the crossbow arrows and fell to the ground without saying a word.
Liu Shouzhong looked around and said with a sad smile: "Commander, I'm here to accompany you!"
He raised the knife and wiped it on his neck.
The soldiers from the Palace Front Division who followed behind looked at all this with numbness and confusion...
The invincible Yuhou of Zhaodu died like this?
Now Zhao Kuangyin is the commander-in-chief of the palace, and there are checks in front of the palace, but in the hearts of these soldiers, their boss is the unparalleled hero who was invincible in the Battle of Huainan and could kill an army alone in the midst of an army...
Zhang Yongde, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun, as well as Han Lingkun and Gao Huaide who came over all had complicated expressions at this moment.
Luo Youdu, who had moved outside the imperial city, received the news that Zhao Kuangyin had been killed in battle, and died under a volley of mounted crossbows.
A sentence said by Zhao Kuangyin suddenly appeared in Luo Youdu's mind: "In this world, anyone who can pick up my three-in-one immortality can be called a first-class expert."
No matter how high the martial arts is, what will happen when it comes to technology?
But I heard that Zhao Kuangyin died in Chenqiaoyi and at the hands of Zhang Qionglong's guards.
Luo Youdu couldn't help but feel weird. Could this be fate?
Zhao Pu said from the side: "Commander the army, the defenders of the imperial city are stubborn, and they are all supported by Zhao Kuangyin. As long as we take his head as a warning, the imperial city can be conquered."
Luo Youdu looked at Zhao Pu who was still seeking revenge, shook his head and said: "Forget it, the person is dead, what's the point of tossing the body? Just let people carry the body."
Zhao Pu whispered: "Queen Fu and the princes haven't shown up yet. Do you want to go look for them?"
Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "No need, they will come out when it's time to come out. My old father-in-law is a good man, and he is guarding us now. We may all lose this game of chess, but he will not lose."
.”
Zhao Pu was very scheming, but he was still at his wits' end against an old and sophisticated guy like Fu Yanqing.
As Zhao Kuangyin's body arrived, Han Tong's bodyguard Si Bujun, Han Lingkun, Gao Huaide, Zhang Qiong, and Dang Jin's cavalry entered the city and surrounded the imperial city on three levels.
Facing the shouts of Zhang Yongde, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun, the palace ministers in the imperial city could no longer hold on, and the palace doors opened wide!
Luo Youdu did not order to enter the city, but ordered: "Commander Bu, you maintain order in the city, tell the world, punish the rebels, let them feel at ease, and arrest the traitor family Xiao. Marshal Ma, you, Gao Huaide, Zhang Qiong,
Members of the party led their troops into the city, captured those who disobeyed, and restrained their subordinates. Those who dared to take advantage of the chaos and misbehave were killed on the spot..."
Following his orders, two groups of people either entered the imperial city, or went to appease the people and arrest the traitors.
Luo Youdu looked at the civil and military ministers who had gathered around him and said, "Let's go see your Majesty!"
