Although the city gate has not been breached yet, the fighting in Mingzhou City looks even more brutal than the siege by Yan Yun's army. The Zhou garrison on the city wall had to fight with the Yan Yun army that was rushing in from outside the city, and at the same time, they had to guard against the cold arrows that flew from behind from time to time.
The first offensive of Yan Yun's army lasted for two hours before it stopped. Suddenly, a group of men and horses came out of the city. They were still wearing the Zhou army's clothes, but their right arms were wrapped with a white cloth. They rushed towards them like a stormy wave coming ashore. At the south gate, the defenders who had withdrawn from the city to rest were quickly chopped down.
¡°These people appeared suddenly as if they had suddenly emerged from hell.
After Zhou Jun¡¯s reserve team went to the city, they replaced the defenders who had been fighting for two hours. Before these soldiers, almost all of whom were injured, had time to take a breath, a large number of soldiers of unknown origin came to kill them. There was no conversation at all, they just came to kill everyone they saw.
These soldiers with their right arms wrapped in white cloth were as fierce as demons, and their eyes were red from the beginning of the fight. The soldiers of the Zhou army who were resting under the city were caught off guard, and hundreds of them were knocked down almost instantly. If Wang Pao hadn't deliberately left many men and horses for defense near the city gate, these soldiers who suddenly came out might have been able to capture the city gate in one fell swoop.
Wang Roo, who was standing on the city wall, looked at the chaos below with a gloomy expression. He looked back at Xiahou and asked coldly: "General Xiahou, can you tell me where those troops came from?"
"I will go down and put down the rebellion right now!"
Xiahou didn't dare to explain anything, so he called a few of his trusted generals and rushed to the city. Wang Roo ordered a few of his cronies to command the defenders to resist Yan Yun's attack. He also walked down the city wall with dozens of guards.
Those rebels had an absolute advantage at first because of the sudden attack, but after all, their strength was slightly insufficient. After trying hard to capture the city gate, they were gradually pushed back by the Zhou army.
After Xiahou refused to lead his men to rush over for support, the rebels gradually lost their advantage.
Before Xiahou Burang could be happy, he saw a soldier hurried over and said breathlessly: "General, it's bad, all three gates of the east city have been raided, and one gate of the west city has been besieged by rebels. There is no news from the North City yet, but I'm afraid there will be rebel attacks. Especially in the East City, the three gates are in critical condition. If we don't divide our troops to rescue them, I'm afraid the gates will be lost!"
"Where is your general!"
Xiahou asked loudly without permission.
"General the battle is over!"
At this time, Wang Bao walked down from the city wall. His expression suddenly changed when he heard the soldier's report. He couldn't help but walked over quickly, grabbed the soldier's front and asked eagerly: "Tell me clearly, how many are there?" The rebels are attacking the city gate!¡±
"Your Majesty there are no less than ten thousand rebels besieging the east city. They are divided into three teams to attack the three gates. The defenders on the city wall are stuck with Yan Yun's army and cannot withdraw. If they don't support them, I'm afraid the gates will not be protected!"
"The rebelswhere did the rebels come from!"
Wang Roo's eyes gradually turned red. He turned back to Xia Hou and asked angrily: "I have handed over all the soldiers and horses in the city to you, but you tell me where these rebels came from! Your soldiers You have planned such a big conspiracy secretly, don¡¯t you, the general, notice it at all?!¡±
Xiahou Burang quickly explained: "Your Majesty, although I am the general of the soldiers and horses in the city, most of the soldiers and horses are brought back from Qingzhang by your Majesty and recruits recruited in the city. I don't understand it at all. As for who he is. I secretly planned such a treacherous thing, and I really don¡¯t know about it However, General Duguyi, Wang Chonglin, Cao Hui and others did not see it when they came to the city this morning, and I sent people to look for it, but they could not find it."
"Why don't you report such a big thing!"
Wang Roo was furious and wanted to kick Xiahou down: "Although Pei Ju is a villain, there is one thing he knows very well. He told me before that Xiahou will not let you be useless! It's me. I was so confused that I believed you, you idiot!"
"I'm a idiot!"
Xiahou got angry even if he refused, and turned around and left: "Your Majesty, you can find someone who is not a idiot to command the team now!"
"you!"
Wang Roo was furious. Looking at Xia Hou's unwilling back, his mouth trembled a few times. He suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and stabbed it into Xia Hou's lower back. Xiahou screamed in surprise and turned around slowly to look at Wang Roar in disbelief. Wang Roo's eyes were already red. He kicked Xiahou Buyi's body to the ground and chopped off Xiahou Buyi's head with a few severe chops.
"Zhong Shan! Bring the imperial troops and rush to Dongcheng to quell the rebellion. No matter what, we cannot let the rebels seize the city gate!"
His confidant Zhong Shan responded.?He took a few subordinates and rushed towards Miyagi. There were more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the palace city by the Forbidden Army. They were elite soldiers selected from the soldiers and horses of the Qing Zhang camp after Wang Pao took control of Mingzhou City. These more than 10,000 people were Wang Bao's last trump card, but now he had to show it in advance.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Zhong Shan, with his body¨O¨O¨O¨O¨O¨Oguards, to break the bloody passage, and rushed out of a street, and was stopped by a dozen Forbidden Army soldiers. It was seen that all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army were injured. One of them even had half of his shoulder chopped off, and blood was spilled along the street.
"General Zhong"
After seeing Zhong Shan, the captain of the imperial army immediately shouted: "Quickly, tell your majesty that there are rebels in Wanchun Palace, and the rebels have already marched a kilometer away!"
"ah!"
Zhong Shan was startled, his face turned pale.
¡¡
¡¡
Xiongkuohai led his men and horses to attack the south gate. He lost more than two thousand soldiers throughout the morning. Finally, a big hole was opened in the south gate. The heavy and solid city gate was blown to pieces, and many of the bricks and stones inside were also blown to pieces. . However, the city gate in Mingzhou is very deep, and it is obviously extremely difficult to completely clean out a gate that is more than 20 meters long with gunpowder.
After two hours, when it was impossible to breach the city gate, Xiong Kuohai ordered his soldiers to withdraw and rest. They had been fighting for two hours, and the soldiers' physical strength had reached its limit.
Just after lunch, Xiong Kuohai received the military order from His Highness King Yan. In the afternoon, his men and horses rested, and Pei Xingyan's men and horses continued to attack the city. Xiong Kuohai breathed a long sigh of relief, after all he ate something and found a place where the sun was shining, and lay down casually, preparing to squint for a while.
But before he fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of horse hoofbeats. He sat up and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the Chinese army's messengers flying towards him waving their flags.
"My lord's military order, General Xiong will immediately lead his army to attack Xiongtu Gate!"
¡°Where¡¯s Pei Xingyan?!¡±
Xiong Kuohai stood up and took the order and asked consciously.
The messenger loudly said: "General Pei is charging with his troops, but something seems to have happened in Mingzhou City. The Zhou army is in civil strife, and the lord has ordered an all-out attack. Most of the gunpowder from the Second Division of the Military Inspectorate is in General Xiong's army. Therefore, my lord has specially ordered me to deliver military orders as quickly as possible!"
"I see!"
Xiong Kuohai responded and ordered his soldiers to blow the horn.
After resting for less than an hour, the soldiers were surprised when they heard the sound of the horn but did not delay. Soon 20,000 troops gathered, and even the heavily armored Modao Battalion of Xiongkuohai also followed. Xiong Kuohai ordered the heavy armor to be ready to attack at any time, and personally led 20,000 infantry to press forward again.
During this attack, the feather arrows on the city wall were obviously sparse. I don¡¯t know what kind of changes happened in the city, but the defenders on the city wall had to mobilize their troops to go down. Xiong Kuohai couldn't think of it, but he knew that this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Xiongtu Gate was the main city gate attacked by the Yanyun Army. Some of it had been blown up in the morning. Pei Xingyan, who took over the attack, had blown up some more. There were even cracks in the wall of Xiongtu Gate.
"Carry all the gunpowder to the city gate!"
Xiong Kuohai gave a loud order and led most of the troops to storm the city wall. Pei Xingyan sent at least 3,000 men to form a shield formation to cover the men of the Second Division who were installing gunpowder in the city. The men and horses of the vast sea could not squeeze through even if they tried. Twenty thousand soldiers joined, and tens of thousands of archers carried out covering attacks on the city walls. The Zhou army on the city wall was already in chaos. At this time, after the Yanyun army stepped up its offensive, the intensity of the defense immediately dropped a lot.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the defenders could not raise their heads, countless ladders were erected on the city wall. The soldiers of the Yanyun Army wearing black leather armor climbed up the ladder like a rising tide. The huge siege carriages also slowly approached. The archers on the carriages shot arrows from a high position. Where was the panicked Zhou army? What fighting spirit is there?
A loud roar exploded in the city gate, and the huge air wave even shook the Yanyun Army's arrow array outside the city.
Pei Xingyan personally led his men to supervise the battle outside Xiongtu Gate, while Xiong Kuohai deployed all the heavy-armored Mo Dao battalions behind Pei Xingyan's shield formation. Once the city gate was broken, his heavy-armored Mo Dao battalions were the first to enter the city. knife. Once the people from Modao camp enter the city, they are afraid that the Zhou army in the city will not be able to stop them no matter how hard they try.
After the soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the carriage approached the city wall, they pulled out the prepared wooden planks and put them on the city wall, stepped on the planks and rushed down. Soon, the Zhou army on the city wall no longer had the ability to shoot arrows outside the city. Yan Yun's army, which was the first to attack the city wall, did not rush forward in a hurry. Instead, a group of dozens of people stabilized their formation, protecting the ladder behind them and allowing more Pao Ze to come up.
The defenders, who had deployed half of their troops, were gradually unable to resist and were forced back by more and more Yanyun troops.
And at this moment, his face was ashenBut Bao led more than a thousand soldiers to the direction of Wanchun Palace.
Zhong Shan and his men tried to rush back to Wanchun Palace to gather the forbidden troops, but when they arrived at the palace gate, they realized that there was no chance at all. Even the Forbidden Army had many people with white cloth wrapped around their right arms. This showed that the rebels had already made plans. As soon as the Yanyun Army attacked the city, they immediately divided their forces to attack key places in the city.
When Wang Bao rushed back with his people, Wanchun Palace had been lost. The eunuchs in the palace, and the concubines who were selected by the imperial concubine not long after entering the palace have all been executed. A huge siege city has turned into a hell. After the rebels entered the palace, they killed everyone they saw. The corpses of eunuchs and palace maids who had been hacked beyond recognition could be seen everywhere.
"Who is it?"
Wang Roo was shocked and angry, and his body couldn't help but tremble violently.
¡¡
¡¡
Pei Mansion
After the chaos in the city, Wu Busan immediately sensed an opportunity. He summoned all the spies and left the secret codes of the flying dragon spies in specific places in the city. When the rebels attacked Wanchun Palace, he had already dispatched spies from the Military Inspectorate to rob the city's granaries. And he led more than twenty flying dragon spies who had seen the secret signal and rushed into Pei's mansion. Most of the guards left by Wang Roo in Pei's mansion had already escaped, so there was almost no difficulty in getting in.
When Wu Buyan found Fei Liu, this young man who had always been cheerful was already dying.
When he saw Wu Bushan, Fei Liu, who was extremely angry, couldn't help but smile. He raised his finger with difficulty and pointed at Pei Ju's body not far away: "The stall am I awesome? This guy This guy who is very famous was actually humiliated and indignant by what I said and committed suicide"
"Awesome!"
Wu Bushan resisted the tears and leaned over to pick up Fei Liu and strode out: "I will take you to see the doctor now. Don't talk or close your eyes. Don't worry When your injury is healed, The big stall manager will definitely promote you to the position of stall manager, and then you will be able to take the dishes on missions, and you will be able to do your job on your own."
¡°It¡¯s so¡ so good¡¡±
Fei Liu smiled hard, with longing for the future in his eyes: "Burn me burn a set of official uniforms from the Military Inspectorate I guess I won't have a chance to wear them."
He looked at Wu Busan¡¯s face which was red due to excitement and sadness, pursed his lips and smiled: ¡°Stop, your face is not white at all today¡not white¡¡±
The arms hung down softly, no longer alive.
Wu Buyan hugged Fei Liu's body and slowly knelt down, unable to control his tears anymore.
Wanchun-gong
Wang Bao ordered his soldiers to attack, but the soldiers who followed him back did not immediately carry out the order. Many of them hesitated, and some even dropped their weapons, took off their military uniforms, and ran away. Wang Roo swung his sword and killed several people one after another. The more people he killed, the more people ran away.
"Wang Roar!"
At this time, General Duguyi, who was not present when Xiahou refused to order the general in the morning, appeared at the gate of the palace. He pointed behind him and said: "Come into the palace, someone wants to see you."
