At noon, the clouds dispersed, the warm autumn sun peeked out from behind the clouds, the breeze was gentle, and the sun shone brightly.
Fang Jun and more than a hundred soldiers rode back to the central military tent. Facing Gao Kan and others who came to greet him, they got off their horses, took off their robes, touched the sweat on their faces, and laughed and said: "God is good, the sun is shining."
The universal illumination is enough to show that Your Majesty is destined by destiny, and even God is helping you!"
Rain can increase the failure rate of firearms and greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army. At critical moments, if the rain intensifies and firearms malfunction on a large scale, so that the army fails to complete its intended combat objectives, it will be in trouble.
After all, everything is walking on the edge of a cliff now. The rewards are great, but the risks are also great. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of capsizing.
But when the rebels approached the city, the autumn rain that had lasted for many days suddenly stopped, the sun shone brightly, and the wind and the moon were bright, which allowed the firearms to exert their maximum power. Isn't it God's care?
Fang Jun may not believe in these mysterious and mysterious things, but today's world has no doubts about such remarks as "reception between heaven and man". Saying it now can greatly boost the morale of the army and make all the troops loyal to the emperor know him.
Fighting to the death to protect the emperor is "complying with the destiny" and what should be done, which will naturally lead to greater power.
When the soldiers and soldiers nearby heard this, they really raised their arms and cheered, and the voice of "Long live" resounded in all directions, shaking the earth and the earth.
Master Sun Ren stepped forward to take the reins. Fang Jun looked at him, patted his shoulder, and praised: "Good performance. He did not help the rebels to do anything under the threat or inducement. Instead, he was firm-willed and refused and took advantage of their tricks. Let's keep up the good work."
, Your Majesty will not treat you badly."
When Li Daliang and his son sneaked into Youtun Guard to instigate rebel generals, they set their sights on Sun Renshi. Although Sun Renshi was not born in Guanlong, he joined Youtun Guard later and was not a direct descendant of Fang Jun. Fang Jun was not affected by the
Although he attached great importance to it, he did not entrust him with any important responsibilities afterwards, thinking that this was a good breakthrough point.
Sun Renshi did not refuse at the time, and later informed Gao Kan of the news. Only then did he finally gain knowledge of the whereabouts of Li Daliang and his son...
Master Sun Ren was very excited when he received the praise. He immediately knelt down on one knee to perform military salutes and said loudly: "The general is willing to follow the commander-in-chief and be loyal to your majesty!"
"very good!"
Fang Jun patted his shoulder again and asked him to get up.
Gao Kan and others surrounded Fang Jun and entered the Chinese military tent. Fang Jun sat in the middle without giving in and asked, "How is the current situation of the war?"
Gao Kan said: "Although the enemy army is fully staffed and has a large number of people, most of them are new soldiers recruited after the Guanlong Mutiny, which was almost wiped out by us. They have the power but no reality. Maybe the battle with the wind will be successful."
We can still fight a dozen, but once we encounter a tough battle, it will be useless. Our musketeers did not kill many rebels. When the gunshots were fired, the enemy army almost collapsed instantly, but there were too many people, and we were chasing, encircling and suppressing them.
, we must not allow them to regroup under the call of certain people, we don’t have time to waste time with them.”
Although the Zuo Tunwei is vulnerable, if it is rallied by the generals in the army after its defeat, it will pose a threat to the Right Tunwei. Although it is easy to defeat again, the current situation requires that Xuanwu Gate be captured as soon as possible to cut off Li Daozong's retreat. Where
Do you have time to linger elsewhere?
Simply and completely defeat Zuotunwei. Although it will take some effort, it will be done once and for all.
Fang Jun nodded in approval: "Don't leave hidden dangers in haste. We must clear out all the remaining enemies from the entire Forbidden Garden to the Weishui River, and then attack Xuanwu Gate with all our strength. Although Li Daozong entered the palace, His Majesty had already taken precautions, and nothing could be done.
He can be dragged to us to rescue him."
Gao Kan and others, who were still worried at first, breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the defense in the palace would be weak and they would not be able to wait. Now that Fang Jun said he could delay it, he would certainly be able to delay it.
A private soldier entered the account after passing the report and reported: "Commander Qi, Wang Fangyi is back, and he captured the fleeing Chai Zhewei alive on the way, and has escorted him back."
"oh?"
Fang Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Is this kid just unlucky? He was asked to send a message to Yin Qinzhou, but he actually managed to get such a big achievement?"
Everyone in the tent expressed their anguish, and even Gao Kan couldn't help but curse: "Isn't this coward so lucky?"
Capturing an enemy chief alive is a huge achievement at any time. Being born and killed on the battlefield and leading dozens of owl ranks is not as easy and happy as others who are promoted to high positions, especially Wang Fangyi, who is simply a mistake. He is completely Chai Zhewei.
I bumped into it myself...
I'm so jealous that I can't even envy you.
After a moment, Wang Fangyi quickly walked in. He first greeted him and told him how he met Yin Qinzhou. He repeated Yin Qinzhou's words in detail. This was the main task that must be explained first, and then he talked about how he captured Chai Zhewei alive.
When everyone saw that although he spoke in a low-key manner, his expression could not hide his pride, and they became more envious and jealous, and felt sad...
Fang Jun first squinted his eyes and thought about Yin Qinzhou's words, and then said: "This is a good job, I will give you a credit. After the chaos is calmed down, I will present it to His Majesty, and I will personally take credit for you."
Wang Fangyi was overjoyed and quickly knelt down on one knee: "Thank you so much, Commander!"
Nowadays, His Majesty's trust in Fang Jun is almost to the point of being obedient. It can be said that it is known to both the government and the public, and it is well known at home and abroad. If Fang Jun can put down the rebellion this time, Fang Jun will become more and more distinguished and powerful. If he personally asks for credit from Your Majesty, how can Your Majesty
Can you refuse?
It can be said that Wang Fangyi's contribution to capturing Chai Zhewei alive is enough for him to rise to prominence, take off from the same place, and become a high-level general in one fell swoop...
Fang Jun waved his hand: "You are able to remain loyal to your majesty even when the country is in decline and the country is in turmoil, and you risk your life to fight against the traitors. Your majesty is delighted and happy, and the reward must be very heavy. How can I say more? But first of all
The main task is to exterminate the rebels, maintain Zhengshuo, pass on the order, quickly clean up Zuotunwei's defeated troops, and then assemble the army to capture Xuanwumen!"
"Here!"
The generals received the order and took action one after another.
For a time, in the huge area to the north of Xuanwu Gate, the light cavalry of the Right Guards came out with murderous intent, and the troops of the Left Guards were defeated and fled all over the mountains and plains like Mianyang on the grassland. Whenever more than a few dozen people gathered in one place, they would immediately
Suffering a fierce attack. So at first some Zuotunwei generals tried to gather troops to fight back, but now they know that Youtunwei will never allow them to do this, so they can only disperse in a hurry.
Especially during the melee at the front, our own coach Chai Zhewei suddenly fled without a fight, and his whereabouts were unknown until now. This further caused the last trace of military morale to completely collapse. Countless Zuotunwei troops were defeated across the mountains and plains, and they were completely defeated.
The soldiers of the Youtun Guards were as powerful as a rainbow, sweeping around like wind and lingering clouds.
*****
At the North Gate of Wude, the battle was fierce. The ground under the city gate was densely covered with corpses. Countless rebels were setting up ladders to attack the city. They were covered by a rain of arrows from the city and suffered numerous casualties. However, Li Daozong personally supervised
In the formation, the soldiers are advancing but not retreating. If anyone dares to retreat even half a step, he will be executed.
Li Daozong stood upright, with his hands clasped like a javelin, standing not far from the north gate of Wude. He watched his soldiers risking their lives and charging fiercely, but they were repelled again and again. His handsome face remained unchanged, and there was no trace of worry or worry.
impatient.
More than ten years of military service have already forged a strong will. How can one's mind be disturbed by temporary gains and losses?
Moreover, the resistance at the north gate of Wude is now fierce, which indicates that the entire defense of Wude Hall is limited. Once the attack on our side can be withstood, it will continue to put huge pressure on the defenders, and sooner or later they will break through the door.
By that time, everything will fall into place and the emperor will be gone.
The only thing to worry about is the situation of Xuanwu Sect...
Yu Wenshiji stood on Li Daozong's side, looking at the fierce fighting above and below the city gate in the distance, and said with worry: "The defenders are resisting very tenaciously. It seems that His Majesty still did not escape from the Wude Hall. This battle will not be easy to fight.
"
If the emperor retreats in the face of danger, or leaves the palace at Chengtianmen and rushes to Chunmingmen to join Li Jing, or leaves the city via the Secret Road to make other plans, the defenders will inevitably be demoralized and morale low, and they will not be able to be as brave as they are now, without fear of death and not retreat even half a step.
.
This is a good thing. As long as the city is broken, the emperor will not be able to leave if he wants to. As long as the emperor is controlled, the situation is achieved.
But this is not a good thing. How will the emperor deal with it then?
If he is killed, it will inevitably involve "regicide". Who will do it? Who can bear this crime? At that time, Yuwen Chengdu was supported by almost all the officials in Longxungui, and backed by half of the ministers in the DPRK, he brazenly hanged Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty.
To kill, the result was that he took action on the front foot, and everyone on the back foot called him a "traitor" and wanted to kill him quickly.
The four words "Imperial Zhengshuo" are by no means just words. They represent the dignity of the imperial power and the orthodoxy of the world. Whoever dares to kill his superiors will be punished by everyone in the world...
But if you don't kill him, it will be just as troublesome.
The emperor is the highest god in the world. Even if he is forced to abdicate, there will still be countless "loyal ministers and righteous men" who will fight under the banner of "King Qin". When the time comes, the world will be at war, rogues will appear everywhere, and there will be countless ambitious people.
Those who are fishing in troubled waters, how much national money and energy will it cost to eliminate them one by one?
In the original idea, the most ideal ending was for the "rebels" to break through the Taiji Palace, and the imperial guards in the palace took advantage of the chaos to "rise up" and kill the "false emperor", and then the King of Jin successfully entered the palace and succeeded to the throne.
…
The scouts came from the north and galloped to the front before reining in their horses, turning over, dismounting, and trotting two steps to Li Daozong: "Commander, the musketeers of the right guard defeated the cavalry of the left guard. Fang Jun personally led the troops.
Both men and horses attacked Chai Zhewei's rear army, causing chaos. Chai Zhewei fled without fighting during the melee, and his whereabouts are unknown. At present, Zuotunwei has been defeated."
Li Daozong had no expression on his face. Although it was hard to accept it, he was already mentally prepared the moment Fang Jun disappeared. How could Chai Zhewei defeat Fang Jun? It was reasonable to suffer a huge defeat.
It's just that the defeat was so tragic and so fast that Li Daozong was caught off guard...
