Chapter 45 Reversal
As Zhaocong was worried, Xu Jinghong, who has good martial arts, is naturally impossible to be shot in the city by those rounds of random arrows. At the same time as those forbidden troops attacked, he had a prediction and quickly made the most correct decision. Pull up an official around him and go straight to the wall of the polar gate. In this way, he only needs to beware of the arrows on the other side of the inner city, but he can fight more.
In addition, the official pulled here by him also quickly played a role. This unlucky official later became Xu Jinghong's shield to resist the continuous arrows. In the end, this unknown guy became a target full of arrows, while Xu Jinghong himself was unscathed.
Although this is the case, Xu Jinghong is not in an optimistic situation. Because he couldn't get out at all, he was only trapped in this road. Even if he has extraordinary light skills, it is impossible to break out in full view of the public. As long as he dares to do so, he will be killed by random arrows.
Fortunately, the position he chose was very good and not very eye-catching. In addition, the people around him had fallen one after another, so he was able to hide in the corpses in a low profile without being noticed. He knew very well that now he had to wait for those people to come down. Only when they came down from a favorable position or opened the gate could he have a glimmer of life and escape from here.
It can be said that this is the first time that Xu Jinghong has encountered such a dangerous situation in recent years. In the past, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could prevail through various plans. But this time, he completely fell into the trap of the other party because he was completely unaware of it, and only to see if God would give him this opportunity.
"Zhao Cong really has the heart to achieve great things than his father and brother. How dare he brazenly launch such an indiscriminate attack on the officials of the Manchu Dynasty under such circumstances..." When hiding in an inconspicuous place and waiting for the opportunity, Xu Jinghong couldn't help sighing in his heart: "I thought everything was under my control. , whoever thinks it's better for the other party to do it first. It seems that I have to learn a lesson in the future. Even if it seems safe, I must be careful. Think about defeat first and then think about winning!"
Above the high wall, Zhaocong, who had looked around several times, still did not find the trace of Xu Jinghong, which made him even more careless. He has a deep impression of Xu Jinghong's ability. People who can stand out from the army in a short period of time and make many contributions can't die here so easily.
So after pondering for a while, he ordered, "Sent someone down and search carefully. I must find out the whereabouts of Xu Jinghong. You have to see people alive, and you have to see corpses when you die!"
"Yes!" The generals of the imperial army immediately agreed. At this time, they have completely fallen to King Jing, and naturally they will do their best to help him achieve his wish. But they hadn't started yet. Lv Zhonghe suddenly said, "Wait! Don't open the door of the inner city. Let the people on the other side of the Huiji Gate go down to check. If someone steals the city from this opportunity, Your Highness will be very dangerous.
King Jing looked at Lv Zhonghe with admiration and was very satisfied with his maintenance. He nodded and said, "Then let's do what Lv Xiang wants. Remember, don't miss anything!"
"Yes, I'll let the people over there hurry to find out!" After Lu Xingyun, the leader of the imperial army, agreed, he set a flag on the opposite side and asked them to send people to the city to check.
In a short time, someone opened the palace door on the other side of the Huiji Gate, and the forbidden soldiers above filed down. These people, dressed in thick armor and carrying long spears, carefully searched the officials who fell from the arrow below. In the meantime, many angry officials saw them, grabbed their ankles with their hands, or opened their mouths to ask, or stared at the executioners in disbelief. Their meaning was very clear - why? Why did you do this?
But these soldiers did not answer their question, but stabbed the wounded officials to the ground. Originally, the people in the army did not have any good impression on these old men, but now they are determined to kill those who oppose King Jing, so there is no hesitation to do it.
For a while, there was a continuous sound of knives and guns in the city, as well as screams before death, which made people feel frightening. King Jing's face is not too beautiful. After all, they are all ministers of the Song Dynasty, but he soon hardened his heart - he will not break or stand. Since he wants to rebuild a new Song Kingdom, the death of these people is inevitable. Even Lv Zhonghe, who has such a close relationship with him, has made up his mind to eradicate it!
The only thing King Jing can't rest assured is Xu Jinghong, who left a deep impression on him. He doesn't know where he is and whether he will have died under the arrows just now.
Under the city, the soldiers moved forward step by step and soon came to the corner where Xu Jinghong was hiding. There were several corpses lying upside down beside him, which had covered him, but his eyes were not affected at all, and he could see everything around him clearly. In fact, when those people came down, he had found a chance to get out from the palace gate. However, at this time, there were still hundreds of crossbows pointing at this side on the inner wall over there, so he finally gave up this plan. Although his body is fast, it is impossible to avoid the cover of more than a hundred arrows at the same time.
Now, seeing those people getting closer and closer to him, Xu Jinghong couldn't help but feel nervous. At this terrible moment, he has to fight no matter what.
Five feet - three feet - two feet - one foot - eight feet... Several soldiers could come to Xu Jinghong's face and were about to stab a few times. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing outside the palace gate!
When every muscle on Xu Jinghong's body was about to be killed with the stabbing of the soldier, he was stunned when he suddenly heard the sound of killing. Then he found that the soldier was very surprised and turned around and looked towards the palace gate. The other people also looked at the palace gate puzzled, and they didn't know what had happened.
"This is..." King Jing looked at Lv Zhonghe with some doubt, only as if it was also arranged by the other party. But Lu Zhonghe's reaction was also ordinary and confused. Obviously, this was not what he ordered.
"Who will come from that?" Lv Zhonghe and King Jing turned the idea at the same time, and then they knew the answer to the matter, because a flag had been raised high with the word "King of Fighting" written on it!
Although there are also many generals surnamed Wang in the army of the capital, only Wang Chong, who is at the border gate can play this flag. When they saw this flag suddenly appear outside the palace gate, King Jing and Lv Zhonghe were stunned - what's going on? How could he bring people into the capital? Why did he have such a choice?
Of course, they will not know that the leader who appeared outside the palace was not led by Wang Chong himself, but brought by Wang Liehai. After making an appointment with Xu Jinghong and threatening the palace with force, they began to drive people and horses near the palace one after another.
But just now, half an hour before the agreed time, Wang Liehai and others heard the screams from the palace. This surprised them, and when Wang Liehai wanted to send someone to find out, he was hit by 3,000 people who came to block the Beijing camp near the palace!
At this time, conflicts are naturally inevitable. Both sides have already realized that there has been a change in their own side before they come to the rescue. So without much temptation, the two people fought in front of the palace gate.
Compared with the elite of this Beijing camp and the elite in northern Xinjiang, the gap in combat effectiveness is quickly reflected. Not to mention the strength, it is more than ten times more than the Northern Army, but in equal numbers, it is not difficult for the Northern Army to defeat the enemy. So after only one or two face-to-face, the Beijing camp army was beaten up and fled, completely giving up control of the periphery of the palace.
Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed, Wang Liehai did not wait for another half an hour according to the previous agreement, but raised his troops and killed him at thehuiji Gate. At this time, most of the forbidden troops on the Huiji Gate are still suppressing the remaining officials in the corridor, so they can't play much role in resistance at all. It's just a charge, and a section of the main gate of Huiji Gate was taken down by the Northern Army.
Then, Wang Liehai no longer waited for a moment, so he continued to take the horses through the Huiji Gate and rushed into the palace. When I saw the tragic situation in the corridor, I was shocked that those soldiers and horses had seen the big scene. Although they have killed people and seen more corpses, it is the first time that the ground is full of court officials and hundreds of people.
"This..." Wang Liehai's face became solemn, and he immediately guessed that someone was launching a coup. It's just that the other party didn't expect that he would come up like this and was not prepared enough to be killed by himself. What he was most worried about was Xu Jinghong's safety. Judging from the scene, these officials were killed on the way to the court, and Xu Jinghong was naturally among them.
Before Wang Liehai asked someone to find Xu Jinghong's whereabouts, a person stood up in the pile of corpses over there. Although he was stained with blood and looked a little embarrassed, they still recognized his identity at a glance - it was Xu Jinghong that everyone was worried about.
"Brother Xu, is there anything wrong with you?" Wang Liehai was busy asking when he came over.
"It's okay. I dodged it in time. Unfortunately, these officials..." Xu Jinghong's eyes fell on the body all over the ground and sighed. Although these people are his enemies in a sense, even he dares not be so cruel. But people are not as good as God, and the end of these people is still so tragic.
"What the hell is going on? Who did such a big thing?" Wang Liehai quickly raised his own questions.
"It's King Jing! This time, he was determined to seize the throne by force. He not only killed his two brothers, but also these courtiers. It's really surprising. Xu Jinghong looked at the closed inner door and said, "Just now, when I saw you enter the palace, he and Lv Zhonghe found that the situation was not good, so they fled inside."
Looking at the closed inner door, Wang Liehai was eager to try, but finally his eyes fell on Xu Jinghong: "Brother Xu, what do you think we should do next?"
"Since he killed me first, there is nothing to say! He did the first day of the lunar new year, and I did the fifteenth. He went to the palace to quell their rebellion!" After taking a deep breath and feeling the smell of blood here, Xu Jinghong issued an order to attack!
Immediately, 30,000 Northern troops launched a fierce attack on the inner wall of the palace, which was not very good at defense. Although there are still some forbidden troops left on it, there are only one or two hundred people. This force can't stop the attack of these wolf-like Northern soldiers at all. In a blink of an eye, the inner wall of the palace was also captured. As a result, the whole palace became the food in Xu Jinghong's plate.
"Kill!" The northern army shouted loudly and rushed into the palace, which shocked the maids and eunuchs to escape, and the whole palace was in chaos. Xu Jinghong only caught a few people and asked them about the whereabouts of King Jing.
After asking a few people this question, someone trembled and said that it was in the Wanshou Palace where the emperor often rested. Without much hesitation, Xu Jinghong took a team of people straight to the Wanshou Palace.
As for the other soldiers and horses, they spread joy in the palace. Now that they have entered the palace, it is naturally impossible to return empty-handed. Neither Wang Liehai nor Xu Jinghong will stop this. Their goal is only one, that is Zhao Zang, the king of Jing!
