Chapter 387 Attack on the Imperial City

The inner city of the capital, the imperial palace.

At this time, there was chaos in the palace.

For no reason, the sound of fire from the gate clearly let most people know that someone had attacked the city!

Since Kublai Khan was settled here, it is the first time that most of them have been influenced by the flames of war.

All the ministers have felt that the big thing is not good. In the past six months, Zhang Shicheng in the south of the Yangtze River has developed rapidly and has become the first rebel in the Yuan Dynasty.

However, the Yuan Dynasty could not come up with any useful way to resist. It just blindly sealed the other party's officials, hoping that the other party could be full, satisfied, and not make trouble.

That's good. It's going to be a big deal. Will you give it to me?

The ministers are all shocked. It's not a good thing to travel in this weather, but it's not a good thing to wait until the other party comes.

So, Zuo Cheng, Shang Shu, waiters, officials of all sizes have only one thought: run quickly!

They drove the carriage, pulled the young and young at home, fled from the north gate of the capital, and fled to the upper capital!

In the capital city, there was a panic.

And in the palace, he was even more panicked.

When Tohuan Timur heard that someone was attacking the city, his first thought was that it was over. I'm afraid it would be lost in the capital city.

Because someone has told him that Zhang Shicheng's army is coming.

Now, Zhang Shicheng has unified the south, with a peak of soldiers and powerful weapons. It can only be a dead end to resist him head-on.

I can't stay in the palace, but where to go?

Go north and run to the top?

Absolutely not. It's all the territory of the crown prince. Now, their father and son are in the same situation. If he runs over, who knows if he will kill himself? In the Mongolian royal family, this kind of usurpation of the throne often occurs, and Tohuan Timur does not want to make such a mistake again.

Then you can only go west and escape to the Hulunbuir grassland! Although there is a snow disaster there now, it is better than going there!

Tohuan Timur ordered his confidant eunuch to pack up his things and run away quickly.

At the same time, he ordered the guards of Dadu to guard every inch of the land of Dadu and fight resolutely with the invaders. Only in this way can he bring enough time to escape.

The senior commanders of the guard army immediately reached the grass-roots forces under the emperor's order, and then they followed Tuo Huan Temuer and fled shamefully.

Under such a commander, there will be no perfect resistance at all. Chang Yuchun's army, like a sharp dagger inserted on a piece of tofu, instantly split most of them, stabbed straight in, destroyed the withered, and came to the front of the imperial city.

When the Yuan Dynasty built the capital, it first built a "central pavilion" in the geometric center of the city, and then used this as a benchmark to explore the city site on all sides.

The south of the central pavilion is the imperial city.

A red wall is built around the imperial city, also known as the "Xiao Wall". To the south is the main gate, also known as the star gate, with thousands of corridors on the left and right. Outside the east wall of the Xiao wall is the canal canal. That is to say, the end of Caoyun is outside the imperial city. If it is in summer, then Bian Yuanheng's navy can go straight to the outside of the imperial city, but now, it is full of ice.

The imperial city is centered on the Taiye Pool, surrounded by three palaces: Da Nei, Longfu Palace and Xingsheng Palace. There are four gates in Danei. The main gate of Danei is Chongtianmen, Houzaimen in the north, Donghuamen in the east, and Xihuamen in the west. There is a Jinshui River in front of Chongtianmen, and there is a Zhou Bridge on the river.

The main hall of Danei is the Daming Hall, which is the place where the Yuan Emperor governs and lives. It is 11 rooms wide, and there is a corridor connecting the apse. After the Daming Hall is the Yanchun Pavilion, which is the queen's residence. In addition, there are Yude Hall, internal library, eagle house, sheep pen and other buildings.

Outside the imperial city, the south and southeast are the government office districts, the northern area of the water pool is a downtown, the east is the Taimiao, and the west is the Taisheji.

To the west of the central pavilion, there are the Drum Tower and Bell Tower, which are the time-time agencies of the whole city. To the west of the Bell and Drum Tower is the Jishui Pool, which is the end of the transportation and the most prosperous commercial area in the city. There are rice market, noodle market, satin market, leather hat market, gold and silver jewelry market, ironware market, goose and duck market and other cities, as well as garden pavilions such as Wanghu Pavilion and Wanchun Garden.

At this time, the government offices on both sides have been taken down, standing in front of the Northern Expeditionary Army is the imperial city.

The gate of the imperial city was closed. As soon as the soldiers were about to rush up, countless bows and arrows came out of the shooting hole on the top of the wall. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers who charged fell.

Damn, you are on the verge of death. How dare you show off your power? Chang Yuchun looked at the dense arrow rain in front of him, and his anger reached the extreme. Here, he suffered the biggest casualties.

Behind the "boom", the ugly chariot with thick smoke finally drove up.

"Ski up the God of War cannon for me and blow up the city wall!" Chang Yuchun ordered.

After all the big shots escaped, the defenders of the imperial city began to fight for an inch of land. The most humble and lowest ordinary soldiers bravely guarded their posts.

They know that they are facing invincible enemies, but they have no hesitation. However, what they don't know is that they are facing Chang Yuchun, who will never suffer losses. Chang Yuchun, who once loved to kill and surrender, annoyed him, but blood will splash on the spot.

The eunuchs in the imperial city who had no time to escape were so impreed by them.

"Boom!" The God of War cannon finally came in handy. It was not used to bombard the outer wall, but to bombard the imperial city inside.

With one shot, the wall of the imperial city was overturned. The Tutar army, which was just firing bows and arrows, was immediately buried alive.

After a few shells passed, the imperial city had completely collapsed.

"Let's go!" Chang Yuchun shouted loudly.

The soldiers picked up the sky and rushed up desperately. There were no living people. They immediately pulled the trigger and fired a retaliatory bullet.

In this world, only we kill others, and no one bullies us!

Revenge for the brother who was just shot by a dark arrow!

Tianque is also powerful in close combat.

The guards guarding the palace suddenly rushed up, but before they got to them, they had been shot down by the other party's bullets.

Even if they were lucky enough to rush to the front, they could not escape the battle of the other party's bayonet. Although the long gun in their hands was longer, they didn't know why they only felt that the long gun slipped, and then there was a sharp pain in their chest.

What's more, there are soldiers greeting them with grenades.

The palace has become a mess, and there are exclamations everywhere.

Because of the resistance, the soldiers were red-eyed. As long as they saw the man, they killed them. Even half a man, that is, the eunuch, did not let go. Except for the maid of honor, they were killed by the soldiers.

The blood stained the palace, and there was a mess everywhere.

Chang Yuchun frowned, as if he had gone too far again. If the eldest brother punished himself again, it would be difficult to do it. He hadn't been enough to fight enough, and it would be a little bad to be held back.

However, it's freezing now, and the eldest brother will definitely not come. When the snow melts in the spring, the place will have been cleaned by himself.

Now, the most important thing is to find the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and catch him to complete the task.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers searched the whole palace and found nothing but the wives and concubines of several emperors and three princesses.

After interrogating the shocked maid of honor, Chang Yuchun knew that the other party had escaped in such a short time after such a fierce blow this time. Not only the emperor, but also the ministers had run away.

What should I do? Chang Yuchun has nothing else, one word: chase!

Wherever he runs, we will chase him! Capture the emperor alive!

Chang Yuchun is absolutely unwilling. He gave such a big military task to himself. If he didn't catch the dog emperor of the Yuan Dynasty alive in front of his eldest brother, he would not have completed the task.

However, if you take down most of the capital, you can't just leave like this. Although most of them have been taken down, there are many things to deal with. After all, this is the capital of the Tutars. There are many ministers and relatives of the emperor. Although they escaped, the house is still there, right? Is the real estate still there? Are there any valuables to take away? These are all big brothers's, and you can't take advantage of others.

Chang Yuchun left 20,000 troops, then eliminated the remaining enemies, counted the income, cleaned up, stabilized the situation in most of the capital, and waited for the big brother's inspection.

The remaining 30,000 people will go out of the city immediately and chase the emperor of the tar!

As soon as they were hit by most of the capitals, the soldiers were a little tired, but when they heard that they were going to chase the Emperor of thetars, everyone's morale immediately rose again.

What does it mean to chase the Emperor of the Tutars? It means that the end of the Yuan Dynasty has come! It indicates that the eldest brother has unified the whole Central Plains!

Out of the capital, they rowed the sled and began to march again.

The heavy snow outside has little impact on the pursuers. They have mastered the use of sleds all the way, but for those who escape, the impact is too great.

They used a carriage. If they wanted the horse to walk in this weather, it was simply a competition between people and animals. Although the horse was obedient, it could not work hard. When the horse's hoof stepped in, it had to be pulled out, and the carriage behind it was stuck in the snow and the wheels moved forward so hard.

Thuan Timur was very anxious. His carriage was a four-horse carriage, but it was still very laborious. In order to escape and reduce weight, he had thrown away all the gold bars on the car. In this way, the speed was still very slow. He was wearing a tiger coat, and sweat stains oozed from his forehead.

In other directions, they are also fugitive officials, and they are also struggling in the heavy snow.

This heavy snow is really a disaster. There are only a few people who are destined to escape.

Soon, the familiar sound of fire came from behind.

Chang Yuchun's pursuers have followed the chaotic traces in front of him.

Seeing the carriage struggling in the snow in front of him, Chang Yuchun smiled. None of them could run away. They were all their prey!

The land of China, in this heavy snow, has quietly changed owners. Everything comes so easily.
