Chapter 859 Fighting in the Capital 2

Zhang Wei was stunned and said, "Yang Gong, how can you promise the position of governor of the regiment camp? You didn't promise me that in the future..."

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "Can't you calm down? If I don't say that, can they be obedient? The Empress Dowager ordered the regimental battalion to guard the camp and keep the soldiers, and let the soldiers and horses of the governor' office of your five armies drive into the city to take over the city defense. Do you think it's so easy? That's the bait. Don't worry, although I have made a promise to each of them in private, only the promise to you is true. This is called a woman marrying more. In the end, there is only one who became a guest in the east bed, and the rest of the people are all in vain. When the situation stabilizes and the new emperor ascends the throne, I will protect you as the governor of the regiment camp. At that time, these people will be under your hands. If anyone is unconvinced or uncomfortable, won't your Marquis Zhang punish them?

Zhang Wei smiled happily, laughed loudly, and praised repeatedly, "What a woman to marry more, Yang Gong's strategy is smart, and I admire him."

Yang Tinghe said lightly, "I have no choice but to think Yang Ting and I have never cheated people like this in my life, but I have to do this for the overall situation of the court and for the sake of Daming Jiye. Don't mention gossip. At present, it is necessary to seize Song Nan and Zhang Lun immediately and calm down the situation in the capital.

Zhang Wei whispered, "What should we do about the situation under Zhengyangmen City?"

Yang Tinghe said, "Thank you for asking this, Song Nan has already taken action in the palace, and thousands of people have died. This is no longer a matter of reconsolidation, but an endless fight. Do you still hold illusions? Song Nan and Zhang Lun are already traitors. What else do you have to worry about?

Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I see. I immediately ordered the head of the city to attack and contain Zhang Lun, and at the same time ordered the two guards of the city to envelop their side and hang them in one fell swoop."

Yang Tingyu said, "What are you waiting for?" Order it."

Zhang Wei immediately conveyed the order and announced that Zhang Lun and Song Nan were traitors in the court. He ordered the soldiers at the head of the city not need to be patient, but if there were close enemies to be shot immediately. At the same time, he sent people to the outer city to pass the order and mobilized the two guards of the outer city from the east and west sides to enve out Zhengyang Gate, and wanted to hang Zhang Lun's two battalions of soldiers and thousands of Jinyiwei Flags at Zhengyang Gate. Above the outer square. Because of this, Jinyiwei came forward to negotiate and was immediately shot and killed by the soldiers and horses of the head of the city, which triggered a joint siege war between the Shenji Camp and Jinyiwei, and all this was also the result of Zhang Wei needed.

......

More than 6,000 soldiers and horses of the governor's government successively climbed to the Zhengyangmen tower and all parts of the city wall to reinforce the Yingzhou guards and horses above the wall. At the same time, Zhang Wei gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to return to the palace to annihilate the Jinyiwei Dahan General's camp and capture Song Nan. However, he missed one thing in mind that there were thousands of people in the Jinyiwei Yamen in the inner city. There were so many people. When the fireworks flew into the sky on both sides, Zhang Wei suddenly realized this layer, but it was too late.

On the east and west sides, thousands of Jinyiwei lieutenants gushed out like a tide. In fact, the total number of people was actually less than 3,000, but Zhang Wei's available manpower was only 5,000. At the same time, it was a neglected force, which immediately caught the soldiers and horses in Damingmen Square by surprise.

The Jinyiwei flag school rarely experienced this kind of military battle, which is insufficient in terms of experience, but they are better than the well-equipped and well-trained order. After the Jinyiwei was rectified, the bastards in the original flag school were driven away and joined many peasant civilian children. These people are hard-working. When training, they all competed for the first, and their appearance was very different from before. After an order, they all fought bravely. The fearless spirit made up for the lack of some actual combat, and soon rushed out two gaps between the soldiers and horses of the governor's office of the five armies in a hurry.

Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao were both pioneers. The sword dance in their hands led hundreds of people into the square. With the dispersion of the formation, tens of thousands of horses fought in the square, and the sound of sword fighting was endless, like hundreds of blacksmith shops opened in the square. Zi.

Song Nan rode a horse and led 30 generals and more than 100 ordinary lieutenants to the west side of the square. Looking around, there were fighting in all corners of the city, inside and outside the square. Zhang Lun outside the Zhengyang Gate was still restrained and did not order anyone to fire fire randomly. Close to the boundary of the palace, the random firing of artillery will affect the palace. The safety of the palace and the royal family in the palace, so the cannon only stared at the Zhengyang Gate tower and the city wall bombardment, and did not disturb the fight in the rear square at all.

Song Nan narrowed her eyes and saw Yang Ting and Fei Hongliang Chu and others on the road leading to the government office on the east side of the gate of Daming Gate. There was a team of hundreds of soldiers and horses in front of them. Song Nan pinched the horse's belly, and the horse jumped out. Behind him was a general flag officer and a brocade guard. Hundreds of households shouted in unison, "Where are you going?"

Song Nan didn't reply and said, "Haw the thief and capture the king. Yang Tinghe actually dared to show his face. He didn't shed tears without seeing the coffin."

"Come back, my lord, I'm responsible for your safety. How can you be involved in danger in person?"

Song Nan's voice came from outside his father-in-law: "What are you talk about? The whole team followed and cleaned up the enemy on the flank for me.

Everyone had no choice. More than 30 horse-riding generals rushed in with whips, and more than 100 brocade guard flag schools also shouted to join the rolling regiment.

Song Nan rushed in. The front and back of the horse were all the figures of the fighting soldiers on both sides. The fire was useless here. Song Nan pulled the embroidered spring knife in his hand and raised his head high. The red knife spike on the handle of the knife was like a flame burning in the air. That was really skillful Yang Koer knitted the knife ear for Song Nan and had never left for several years. Song Nan's knife handle.

"I am Song Nan, the Duke of Daming Town. The emperor has an order. Yang Ting, Zhang Wei, Tan You, Fei Hong, Liang Chu and others are rebellious and make trouble. I have been edicted to seize the thieves. You are not the first evil, but if you put down the blade of the army, you will not investigate it. If you are obsessed with it, you should rebel against the thief." Song Nan shouted loudly.

Although the scene was noisy, Song Nan's figure flying in the sun with an embroidered spring knife was extremely eye-catching, and the scarlet cloak flew behind him and stretched, hunting. The soldiers involuntarily listened to Song Nan's shouting, and many people were moved.

Yang Tinhe and others in the northeast corner of the square also saw Song Nan rushing to the horse. Liang Chu immediately ordered more than 200 soldiers in front of him to defend him and others to shoot arrows and shoot immediately when Song Nan approached. Yang Tin-he was also very panicked, but he did not show his face at all.

After listening carefully, Yang Tinghe snorted angrily and suddenly jumped on the blue stone beside him and shouted: "Rebellious minister Song Nan, plotted to break into the emperor's bedroom and caused the emperor's death; and refused to accept the emperor's edict, the empress dowager's decree, and conspired with Zhang Lun to usurp the throne, which was unforgivable. The captains of Jinyiwei listened that Song Nan's crime should be killed, but you were deceived by it and immediately put down the blade to surrender, or assist in the seizure of Song Nan. Yang Ting and I, in the name of the chief assistant of the cabinet, vowed to forgive you and other crimes and reward them.

The soldiers on both sides listened to Song Nan and Yang Ting and each other accusing each other as traitors, claiming that they had their own edicts, and their minds were confused by them.

Song Nan laughed and shouted at Yang Ting and Gao through dozens of soldiers fighting, "Yang Tinghe, you are acting like Dong Shi. You also shout when I shout. Can you be a little creative?"

Yang Tinghe sneered and shouted, "Bah, the traitor also deserves me to learn from you. Yang doesn't want others to be blinded by you."

Song Nan laughed and pointed to Yang Tinghe and said, "Originally, in the emperor's edict that you have worked hard for many years, and there is no too heavy punishment. I have always thought that you will not ignore the overall situation, but at this moment I understand that if you are loyal, you have committed a heinous crime, and you will be wrong if you have committed a heinous crime. There is a negative saint's grace. And what you just said made me very unhappy, so I decided not to let you go, Yang Tinghe, you are looking for your own death!"

Yang Tinghe sneered and said loudly, "Duke Zhen, it is still unknown who will live and who will die."

Song Nan was furious and rushed straight over with dozens of horses. Yang Tinghe quickly jumped off the Qingtiao stone and disappeared after hundreds of foreign soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers and horses shouted forward and met the horse heads of Song Nan and others. The two sides quickly fought fiercely together.

Song Nan was angry, and his men were even more ruthless. Regardless of rushing to the front, the big men around him dared not let him take risks and rushed forward one after another to protect the empty space around Song Nan on both sides. The horse's hoof trampled, and the fire roared. Hundreds of foreign troops were afraid of the firearms in the hands of dozens of people. They shouted a lot, and really met the horse's head desperately. After a cup of tea, the surrounding brocade guard flag heard that Lord Song fell into an encirclement and rushed to rescue. After a moment, these hundreds of foreign soldiers and horses were dispersed. At the same time, Song Nan's horseshoes I stepped on the entrance of the government road where Yang Tinhe and others had just stood.

Looking around, Yang Ting, Liang Chu Feihong and others retreated in panic more than a hundred steps ahead. Song Nan turned around and looked at the square. The glued fight was far away. He didn't know when he would win or lose. Maybe when he caught Yang Tinghe, all this would end, so he rushed to the Yadu Avenue. A group of people who wanted to catch the escape suddenly heard the sound of gunfire. There was a riot in the southeast corner of the Daming Gate. Song Nan shouted and asked, "What's the matter?"

A moment later, the news came that the enemy reinforcements arrived, and the 8,000 soldiers and horses stationed at Chongwenmen came to reinforce the battles at Zhengyangmen and Damingmen. In this way, there is too much difference between the strength of the two sides in the square, and there is no need to fight down at all. If it continues, it will be the end of the destruction of the whole army.

Song Nan cursed, but knew in his heart that this was because the soldiers and horses sent by the regimental battalion were only one battalion of Fenwu Battalion, and the total number of soldiers and horses in Zhang Lun's hands was only about 11,000. At this point, the soldiers and horses could only attack one place of Zhengyangmen, and it was impossible to attack the defense of Xuanwumen and Chongwenmen from the east and the east and the west to the inner city. Army. The soldiers and horses of other battalions of the regimental battalion did not move in the outer city barracks, so that the defenders of Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen were able to draw troops to solve the chaos in the inner city.

Song Nan sighed in his heart that at least half of the people in the regiment camp were separated. Song Nan had already told Zhang Lun to wait for the opportunity to change. For this reason, he had even made plans, but Zhang Lun never did not do it. Song Nan has been busy fighting abroad in recent years, and he can only hand this matter over to Zhang Lun to do, but until today, Zhang Lun He did not make hard to solve it; so much so that at the critical time, the governor of the regimental camp was unable to dispatch the regimental camp, leaving the situation in danger.

The situation at this moment is not the most critical time. Song Nan's most worried is not that the other soldiers and horses of the regiment will not move, but that once the situation is bad, those marquis will brazenly send troops to help Yang Ting and one side, and knock down a wall and push everyone, which is the most terrible thing. Picking up cheap benefits has always been the strength of these guys. If they lose their manpower in the inner city, or they are captured by Yang Tinghe, it means that the balance is broken, and those guys are likely to go out to fight the water dog.

Song Nan had to order all the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the battle immediately. There were less than 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the inner city. In addition to the 800 soldiers and horses of the general camp of Han in the palace, these less than 4,000 people and horses were all his own hands in the inner city. These people were the last force to maintain balance.

"Withdraw into the Daming Gate and guard the palace gate." Song Nan loudly ordered that Wan Zhi led 300 Han generals to rush out of the palace as a cover and turned the pursuing enemy soldiers away from the Daming Gate. Thousands of Jinyi Guard Flag School quickly entered the Daming Gate and climbed on the high palace wall to defend it.

Song Nan climbed the tower of Daming Gate and looked at the situation outside the Daming Gate. Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers lined up on the square. He saw Yang Tinghe and others come to the square again and pointed to the Daming Gate Tower accompanied by a military general. Obviously, he was planning how to attack the palace.

At the Zhengyang Gate in the south, there was still a rumbling sound of fire, and the sound of killing came from the sky. Although Zhang Lun could not see the attack with his troops, he knew the difficulty of the battle. The walls of Zhengyang Gate are strong. In recent years, the huge power of artillery in battle has attracted great attention from the court. More than ten artillery have been installed on both sides of the walls of Zhengyang Gate as a supplementary force to defend the inner city. It can be imagined how much threat they pose.

Song Nan has nothing to do for the time being. What he can do now is to guard the palace and be ready to attack at any time. With this situation, he will drag more than 10,000 foreign soldiers and horses on Zhengyangmen Square, prevent them from reinforcements Zhengyangmen and wait for the moment when Zhengyangmen is broken.

"Give some strength, my brother-in-law, this is a good time for you to make a famous man." Song Nan squinted at the slanting spring sun and prayed silently in her heart.

......

Zhang Lun didn't want to break through Zhengyang Gate quickly. At the beginning of the siege, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Shenji Camp and the Fighting Camp, coupled with a fierce attack by thousands of soldiers and horses in Jinyiwei, were almost successful. However, suddenly the artillery in the city roared, and the number of enemy troops on the tower suddenly doubled, and they were abruptly forced to attack this wave. The good charge strangled.

Only when asked about the situation did he know that it turned out that the soldiers and horses of the five army governors guarding Xuanwumen in the west arrived, and nearly 7,000 reinforcements reinforced Zhengyangmen City, which immediately turned this attack into an impossible task. Although the Shenji Camp has more than 100 cannons, if these cannons fall into the other party's crowd, they are certainly amazingly powerful, but they only bombard these strongest inner city walls with a height of four or five feet, which seems quite powerless. Every shell bombards the wall and explodes a deep pit on the wall, but it is only It's just a pit.

Hundreds of shells hit and bombarded a section of the city wall. After the smoke dissipated, although the wall was not present, there was no sign of collapse. It just blew up a deep depression on the wall, which was still very early from the side of the wall. In this way, the shells were consumed, and dozens of cannons passed through Hot, close to scrapping.

There are actually a lot of firearms on the attacker. There are more than a thousand firearms in the Shenji camp. Hou Dabiao's hand is more and more powerful, but they all need close-range shooting to work. It can be used to attack and sniper down on the city or on the flat ground, but it can be used to attack the city. It's useless. Shoot with your head up to the city? Not to mention whether you can shoot the enemy behind the city stack, whether you can rush into the range of the fire, because long before reaching the range of the fire, you have entered the range of the crossbow. I'm afraid you have become a hedgehog without running to the place.

Zhang Lun almost cried in a hurry. He felt that this was the most difficult time in his life. The besiege was consumed in vain, but he could not stop. However, if he did not stop, this was another battle that could not be won. With the consumption of his men, the battle would sooner or later end in the enemy's counterattack and his own fiasco.

Among the Jinyiwei officials in the outer city, Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng have the highest official positions, which has naturally become the backbone of everyone. But there is nothing to criticize about the charge between these two. In such a dangerous situation, it is useless for them to come up with a solution. They are also anxious like ants on a hot pot, looking at the sun gradually tilting to the west.

"Lord Li, Zhao Qianhu, the husbands of the Zhenguo Mansion sent people to deliver letters and asked you to take people to Yongding Gate to pick them up." A brocade guard who was transferred to guard Song's family in the Zhenguo Mansion came and found Li Zhao, who were in the group, to report.

Li Daniu was stunned and said, "The ladies of the town government? Aren't they in the house? Why did you run outside the Yongding Gate? How do you protect it?"

The guard said helplessly, "When they go out of the city, we have no choice but to protect them. But..."

"Don't talk too much, Zhao Qianhu, you stare here. I'll take 200 brothers to pick up the response. The safety of the husbands is not a trivial matter. If you are caught by the enemy soldiers in the outer city, it will be a big trouble."

Although Zhao Dapeng is very depressed about Lord Song's family members coming out to make trouble at this time, he also knows that their safety must be guaranteed. If Lord Song's family members are captured, everything will be over. Lord Song is famous for spoiling his wife and concubines. Duke Zhen turned from a tiger to a gentle lamb when he returned to his house. This He, a thousand people in the guard camp, have witnessed these things many times.

"What are you waiting for? Go quickly and take my fire guard brothers, and wait for more than a thousand idle people to deal with it." Zhao Dapeng said in a hurry.

Li Daniu quickly gathered 200 guards and galloped south along Yongdingmen Street and went straight to Yongdingmen, the south gate of the capital.
