Chapter 205 The roar of iron hoofs
The hour of Hai is approaching and the night is dark.
On the long street, Zhang Dakui finally led 15,000 troops to a place less than two miles away from the Forbidden City. His troops headed straight to the vast palace with bright lights in the distance.
Huang Debiao looked at the Forbidden City that was so close to him. When he remembered Zhang Dakui's promise to "Zhang and Huang share the world", his heart was so excited that he was about to jump into his throat.
He raised his whip, pointed at the Forbidden City, and said excitedly: "Governor, we have 15,000 soldiers, and we were surprised. The Dog Emperor was caught off guard. I am afraid that a charge would break through the city gate and occupy the Forbidden City!"
Zhang Dakui nodded and said, "Of course, the achievements of eternal things are within your fingertips!"
"Clang!"
Huang Debiao threw down the whip, pulled out his long sword, and whispered: "Governor, I am willing to charge and take down the Forbidden City for the Governor!"
When the soldiers heard this, they were all extremely excited. They looked at the thick gate of the Forbidden City in the distance, as if they saw a golden avenue.
Zhang Dakui raised his horse whip and shouted loudly: "Send the order to capture the Forbidden City. The palace maids and beauties can give it as much as possible, and each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver!"
"Aowu..."
When Zhang Dakui's order was conveyed, the soldiers of the army suddenly screamed, like wild wolf, with light in their eyes.
Not far ahead is the place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is located, and the Forbidden City has been managed for 250 years.
After two hundred and fifty years of accumulation, I am afraid that the palace is filled with mountains of gold and silver. As long as you capture the Forbidden City, all this is within your fingertips.
Not to mention, there are rumored that there are tens of thousands of beauties in the palace. If you are lucky, you may be able to catch the emperor's concubine and be a fellow emperor. How could they still hold back? They just wished they could put their wings and fly into the palace in the next moment.
After the incense ashes fell, it was finally time for the agreed time. Zhang Dakui suddenly pulled out his long sword, pointed to the palace from a distance, and whispered: "Kill the eunuchs and clear the emperor's side!"
Huang Debiao and other soldiers who were approaching Zhang Dakui also shouted: "Kill the eunuchs and clear the emperor's side!"
"Kill the eunuchs and clear the king's side!"
"Kill the eunuchs and clear the king's side!"
"Kill the eunuchs and clear the king's side!"
From the central army to the front and rear armies, they were like Mexican waves, shouting one after another, and finally 15,000 people shouted at the same time, with their voices like thunder and singing into the clouds.
As a pioneer general, Huang Debiao took the lead in rushing towards the Forbidden City.
"Kill!"
The black clouds were slamming the city and were about to destroy it. Ten thousand soldiers ran in Chengtianmen Square like a joyful look, and the sound of killing shook the sky!
...
The people of the capital have lived in the capital for a lifetime, and have long heard of the legend of various mutiny and rebellion. Therefore, they were not warm in spring, and they had already smelled it when Zhang Dakui and others dispatched their troops. Even on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they closed their doors and closed their doors and locked them.
But when the shouts of 15,000 people spread, many people still couldn't help but feel curious and opened the windows and doors to see what happened in the Forbidden City?
"Oh my God! This is someone who wants to raise an army to rebel!"
"Kill the eunuchs and clear the emperor's side. Someone must be planning to usurp the throne!"
"It's so miserable. If there are rioters and traitors plotting to usurp the throne, the capital will probably be bloody!"
The people finally knew that they were afraid and did not dare to peek into the distance. They closed the doors and windows, moved heavy objects such as tables and rice jars to the door, and held the door to prevent the soldiers from rushing into their own doors, burning, killing and looting.
It is not a question that the people are facing a great enemy. It should be noted that since ancient times, any war in China will cause unimaginable disasters and cause extremely serious disasters to the people.
It is better to be a peaceful dog than a troubled person.
Modern people are accustomed to peace and think that this sentence is just an adjective, but in ancient times, it was the truth.
...
On a tall building several miles away from the Forbidden City, Zhang Pu and Zhang Dakui forced the seven or eight civil officials who signed the joint blood letter to look into the distance, and opened their eyes wide and looked at the black torrent in front of the palace gate swallowing towards the Forbidden City.
"Oh my God, they really dare to do it!"
"What is bold? This is bold!"
"We have no way out. For the sake of our plan, we can only pray that Zhang Dakui will succeed in the battle and pull the foolish lord down!"
"With the preparation of attacking without preparation, there are 15,000 more people, maybe there is a real possibility of success!"
These civil officials looked at the situation in front of the palace gate nervously, and a civil servant prayed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky like an ignorant woman and a child, "The Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Taishang Laojun, Donghuang Taiyi, Sanqing Taoist Ancestor, Tathagata Buddha... All the gods must bless Zhang Dakui to invade the Forbidden City, capture Zhu Youjian alive, and eliminate a major future trouble for us!"
...
"Kill!"
"To make achievements, today!"
"When you enter the Forbidden City, all the palace maids and beauties belong to us!"
"And there are endless gold, silver and treasures!"
In a wide square area outside the palace gate, the black soldiers poured towards the Forbidden City like a torrent. The blade and spear tip of the gun were filled with cold light, making people feel heart-pounding.
In the back, Zhang Dakui and other military officers looked at the dark city gate in front of him, and their eyes were filled with brilliance. But when Huang Debiao led the army to the city gate less than 100 meters, lights suddenly lit up, making Zhang Dakui's eyes dim.
I saw that on the gate tower of the Forbidden City, Kongming lanterns floated into the sky, setting the night like daylight.
On the city gate tower, Zhang Chaozhong dressed very beautifully, and Chen Changhua's dress was ossed on him again.
Zhang Chaozhong stood tall on the city wall, wearing a felt hat and a cloak, raised his right hand, slowly pointed, and shouted loudly: "You are attacking the imperial city, wanting to rebel and rebellion? Now, you can forgive you for your life when you retreat!"
The 15,000 soldiers obviously did not expect that the palace would be prepared. In amazement, the charge stopped and everyone looked at each other.
This is the disadvantage of the hasty gathering. Although Zhang Dakui made promises that even the palace maids and concubines in the palace would be promised to the soldiers, which made the soldiers scream.
But the mob is a mob. The Beijing camp has been peaceful for a long time. The soldiers have never fought a war and are negligent in training. When they encounter special circumstances, they will be exposed.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Huang Debiao hurriedly rushed forward and shouted: "Soldiers, don't listen to the eunuchs' words and confusing the crowd. He will capture the Forbidden City without sealing the sword for three days. Please kill me!"
The beastly nature of 15,000 soldiers had long been released. When they heard Huang Debiao's promise, their pauses moved again, and their momentum was like a rainbow to kill towards the city gate.
"It's stubborn!" Zhang Chaozhong sighed inwardly, and then ordered: "Open the city gate!"
"Guzhi..."
The thick gate of the Forbidden City slowly opened. Zhang Dakui and Huang Debiao were overjoyed, but the smile on their lips had just opened when they saw a scene that made them lose their souls.
In the palace gate, one war horse after another in iron armor was sniffing and forming arrays. The horse knight immediately held a knife in his hand, and his murderous intent suddenly appeared.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the iron hooves roared, and thousands of troops broke out from the palace in batches, and the swords were all aimed at them!
Chapter completed!
