Although the meteor shower was beautiful, it was the prelude to the ferocious attack of the enemy. After the crazy shooting, the inside and outside of the city wall were already densely packed with bows and arrows. Although they were igniting things, the arrows all over the ground were particularly brimming with flames, and the ground looked like pavement.
A layer of fire.
Fortunately, the battlements withstood a lot of damage. The soldiers on the city wall were not seriously injured, but they were also overwhelmed by the enemy's crazy momentum. They huddled in the blind corner and did not dare to move; there were many towers above the city gate.
The wooden door, rockets penetrated the room and set the door on fire, causing the tower to catch fire. Compared with the situation on the city wall, it seemed worse.
"Attack them all. No troops are allowed to retreat until they enter the city tower." Wu Zangyu Pang shouted, brandishing his sword.
Suddenly, shouts resounded through the night sky, and tens of thousands of soldiers, led by the Su Guards, swarmed towards the city wall. Taking advantage of the large number of people, the ant-like soldiers abandoned the fear in their hearts and placed ladders on various parts of the city wall, frantically
The soldiers climbed up; the soldiers learned their lesson and put big shields on their heads this time to prevent bows and arrows and fire nets falling from the sky. But surprisingly, they did not encounter any resistance at all, and the soldiers guarding the city were blocked.
No pebbles were left behind.
Hundreds of soldiers took the lead in attacking the city wall and jumped into the battlements. They were ready for hand-to-hand combat with steel knives in their hands. However, the city wall was empty. Apart from stones, arrows and corpses scattered everywhere, there was not even a living person.
None.[
Under the firelight, the sharp-eyed soldiers saw the figures of the defenders fleeing hastily under the city wall. They were quickly escaping to the back of the hall and disappearing in the thick shadows.
Su Jin issued the order to retreat the moment the arrow rain stopped. It was unwise to forcibly defend the city, and it was impossible to defend it. The most important thing at the moment was not to defend the palace, but to delay as much time as possible and never hide the danger.
Nearly two hours have passed since the army began to attack the palace, and it is now almost the fourth watch. Zhang Yuan would not be unaware of such a big movement in the city. Unless he regrets temporarily, he should take action in advance.
Delaying and delaying was the only thing Su Jin could do, so when he learned that there was a wall as a barrier between the inner and outer gardens of the imperial city, Su Jin resolutely chose to withdraw from the inner garden wall, although in the eyes of others, the inner garden
The city wall is only two feet high and much narrower in width, which is not conducive to defense at all. However, in Su Jin's view, inner walls have the advantages of inner walls. The advantage is that the enemy's superior forces cannot be deployed in a narrower space. Inner walls
The length is only half the length of the palace's outer wall, which means that the enemy's front is narrower and easier to defend.
What's more, once entering a street fight, the advantage of large numbers may not be decisive. Instead, it depends on flexibility. Su Jin even made plans to take advantage of the chaos and lead Dynasty Mahan and others to directly attack Wu Zangying Pang. Imperial City
The city wall is broken, how can he not come in if there is no hidden enemy? In the palace with many palaces, it is not impossible to sneak attack on him.
Su Jin had a bottom line in his heart. He told himself that if he persisted until the fifth watch, the city would be in such an uproar, and the reinforcements would not arrive on the fifth watch, it would declare his failure. At that time, he could only choose to take the
Everyone fled. Although the walls on both sides of the inner garden were high and there was a wide moat outside, it was not difficult to escape.
But that was the last choice. Su Jin would not do that unless he had to. A coup he personally planned ended in failure.
The clan will also fall into disaster. Instead of saving them, we will harm them. This will be our own shame.
Wu Zangying Pang was elated. Breaking through the walls of the palace meant that the peak of his power was about to come. Veins popped out on his head and he roared: "Occupy the palace immediately and kill Brother Li Ning, Ye Li Dulan and everyone involved in the regicide." All the rebels will be kidnapped and brought to me."
The generals under his command hurriedly said: "My lord, the enemy has occupied the inner wall and is still resisting. We have searched the main hall and everywhere, and we haven't seen a single person."
Wu Zangpang waved his hand and gave the general a slap in the face and said: "Then why are you still standing here? Why don't you quickly capture the inner garden?"
The general covered his face and cursed in his heart: If I just say something back and forth, you old dog will go crazy and curse you to be shot to death by random arrows tonight!
The general hurriedly sent an order to organize his troops to attack the inner wall. This time he could only climb up the ladder honestly. Rockets and other items were completely useless. Because there was no hidden secret, he had a chance to win, so he ordered not to destroy it. The palace buildings, because he has considered these palaces and the thousands of concubines in the back garden as his own private property, it hurts him to shoot a beauty and burn down a palace, but hundreds of soldiers died because they were in the way. So called.
The dense defensive and offensive formations made the battle to attack the inner wall extremely bloody. Soldiers swarming up and down the inner wall and bodies falling like raindrops were everywhere. The sounds of swords clashing and arrows piercing the air were heard before death. The wailing in front of you, the roar when killing people, the crunching sound of the sword cutting into the bone, which makes your teeth sore and your scalp numb.
Under the starry night sky, some people are sleeping soundly and having sweet dreams, some are enjoying themselves, some are sighing into the sky, and some are fighting to the death. It all seems so unreal.
He cursed loudly without hiding his anger, but it was only an ear wall, but he couldn't attack it for a long time. This was somewhat unexpected to him.
"He's rushing to the car. Come in quickly and smash open the door. They are all a bunch of trash!"
"Your Excellency, the door of the outer wall is blocked by a fire, and the car cannot get in."
"Trash, use a rope to lift the truck in from the wall. What are you going to do with your strength?"
"Yes, yes, the general will do it immediately." The general under his command was scolded again and was pissed off. Wu Zangpang breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat down on a chair that he brought with him, far away. Looking at the attack ahead, he was not in a hurry at all, because no matter what, he was the winner tonight. Even if two people exchanged one life, the thousand guards in the palace would be exhausted alive. Zang Yipang had already begun to figure out how to take the next step after catching Yeli Dulan and Li Ningling.
After occupying the palace, we must first seal off the capital. Tomorrow we will convene the ministers to announce the crime of rebellion between Li Ningling and Yeli Dulan. Then we will publish a secret edict and find an infant to pretend to be the little prince Li Liangzuo. Then we can legitimately become the 'overlord'. '. From then on, Daxia fell into the hands of the Musang family. Then they had to eliminate the dissidents, wipe out all the Yeli tribes, and control the military power. After that, they could kill the puppet emperor and become the emperor themselves. [
Bu Zhi Pang happily calculated the next step. He turned a blind eye to the fighting scene in front of him, and the flesh and blood was like a road paved with flowers, waiting for him to step on it and walk through it.
"Report...!" A harsh voice came from behind, and he was so frightened that he shivered.
"The palm of your hand is twenty, why are you so surprised?" Wu Zangying Pang said angrily.
The guards around him pulled the soldier who reported the report over, gave him a slap in the face, and then pushed him in front of Fu Zangyanpang.
Wu Zangpang narrowed his eyes and said: "Why are you panicking? You must understand the rules and report things in a gentle voice. How could you be so surprised?"
There was blood foam lying on the corner of the soldier's mouth, and his lips were swollen like two slices of sausage. He kowtowed and said vaguely: "I know I was wrong."
"Say, what's the matter?"
"Report to the Prime Minister, there are shouts of killing coming from the south city gate, and a fire is burning."
"What? South City Gate? Do you know what it is?"
"There are other brothers who are snooping around. The younger one is anxious to report the news."
Before he finished speaking, another spy arrived, shouting from a distance: "Report...!"
Wu Zang Yupang's followers did not wait for Wu Zang Yupang's orders. He quickly stepped forward to grab the soldier, raised his palms, and began to slap his mouth. Wu Zang Yupang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and quickly shouted: "It's urgent, please give him a break." , brings an answer.”
The soldier was spared twenty mouths and quickly stepped forward to report back: "Report to the Prime Minister that the south gate has been lost and a large number of soldiers and horses are entering the city through the south gate."
Wu Zang and Pang were surprised and asked, "Whose troops are they? Are they the Su Guards?"
The soldier said: "Reporting to the Prime Minister, it was Yin Zheng and Wu Hao who led their Yamen officers to sneak attack on the south gate, and together with external troops and horses, they occupied the south gate. The troops that came in were not the Su Wei army, but the Xiangqing army."
Wu Zangpang took a breath of air. Wu Hao's participation must be under Zhang Yuan's command, and the leader of Xiangqing's army is Han Ren Jingde. These three guys are all his mortal enemies, and it seems they must have come to rescue him; when he thought of Xiang Qing's army, he The Qing army's 50,000-strong army was so weak that their calves were weak.
