Chapter 318
The prince is not on his way
Seeing that the suspension bridge was put down and the gate of the urn city was opened, the ninth prince Yinzhen whispered: "Brother, we have followed us at least. We can't make any contribution, right?" [.]
The eighth prince Yinsi glanced at him and said angrily: "What do you mean? Do you want to lead the cavalry to attack the city?"
"With the navy restraining it, the cavalry is not unable to attack the city." Yinzhen chuckled and said, "At this time, it is a great opportunity to attract people's hearts. Whether or not the officials can be rescued, we will rush into the city and take a walk around, which can not only show the limelight, but also let the officials know that we are the leader to save them."
"What the 14th brother said was to capture Fucheng Sect, and he did not say to enter the city." The eighth prince Yinsi pondered: "If we anger the prince and kill the hostages because of this, we will not be able to explain to us in front of the 14th brother."
"Just just take a walk around. What a big deal. If the general below doesn't listen to the hello, he will just get rid of it." The ninth prince Yinzhen said indifferently.
This is also the same. We can't just come in vain. If we have not made any achievements, we are not easy to explain to the generals below. Yinsi hesitated for a moment and nodded and said, "Let Orondai lead the troops. Anyway, he has a marriage with the fourteenth brother."
"It's still my brother who is concerned about it." Yinzhen said with a smile.
Six mountain howitzers were installed on horseback, and the five thousand cavalrymen of the Cavalry Camp rushed out and swept into the city like a whirlwind. Arrows were immediately shot like rain on the city tower.
Yinzhen couldn't help but frowned slightly. The starling brother was also a little anxious. Are he afraid that he would not give him a chance to make contributions? How many people would die this way?
Longkodo was hanging from the city wall at this time and ran away in a hurry. Yinzhen knew that he must have something important to do, so he immediately urged the horse to meet him. Longkodo gasped and said, "Fourth Master, the general has just asked a prisoner. The prince has put all the officials who were held hostage back to their respective residences."
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Since the inner city was closed yesterday, no news has been heard. He thought that the court officials and relatives who were held hostage were still detained in Di'anmen, so he planned to occupy Fuchengmen first as a bridgehead. Since these people have been released from their mansions and have broken through Fuchengmen, wouldn't they be able to rescue them safely?
Thinking of this, he immediately ordered, "Send an order, forcibly attack without regard to the cost, and you must take down the Fucheng Sect as soon as possible!" After saying that, he said to Longkodo: "All soldiers in the infantry camp will immediately enter the urn city. Once the city is broken, they will immediately enter the inner city to maintain order and calm people's hearts. Remember to be careful not to kill prisoners indiscriminately!"
"Zha, the last general will take the order." Longkodo bowed, stood up and said, "What should I do with the palace?"
Yinzhen knew that he was asking the prince, and he was afraid that his brother would catch the prince, so he pondered for a moment. The only soldiers loyal to the prince were only 12,000 people brought by Tianjin. The more than 10,000 people in the capital might not go along with him. When the Fuchengmen battles, I don’t know how much it will lose, but it is expected that there will be thousands of people.
Once the city is broken, what decision will the prince make? Retreat into the imperial city? It may not be big. If the inner city cannot be defended, he will not be able to defend the imperial city either. He still has this self-knowledge. So, retreating to the imperial palace? It is impossible. There are thousands of soldiers and horses from the three banners of the Interior Palace in the palace. If he retreats into the palace, he will face a situation of attacking on both sides, and he will not take this risk.
Then you can only escape. Which way will he take to escape? It is impossible to go east. There are still many successor troops coming in Tongzhou, and it is even more impossible to go west. Tens of thousands of troops are blocking here. To the south, it is an outer city. It is estimated that the possibility is also small, so there is only north!
Thinking of this, Yinzhen said in a deep voice: "Talk the cavalry in your hand to me and order Yande. Once the city is broken, hurry to Desheng Gate immediately and Anding Gate meets me."
"Ode to the Lord!" Longkodo immediately felt relieved and turned around to pass the order.
However, Dachun said with great concern: "Master, there are only more than 4,000 cavalry in the infantry and military camps. No matter what, the prince still has nearly 10,000 people. Would it be too risky?"
"It's okay." Yinzhen chuckled and said, "How can the defeated generals be brave? As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain. How many remaining troops can he gather in panic? How many cavalrymen? How many infantrymen are there? Four thousand cavalry chased them, enough!" After saying that, he ordered again: "You lead a thousand cavalry to Deshengmen to the north, and observe Andingmen to see which gate the prince gathers? I will lead a large group of troops and horses to arrive later, and there is no need to look at Fuchengmen anymore."
"Zun Ling." Dachun pulled out his horse's head and ran straight to the cavalry team.
At the foot of Fuchengmen, Yande saw the Knight Craftsman rushing into the city wall and shooting at the city tower, and he couldn't help but curse, but he was afraid that the Knight Craftsman was too injured and killed. Yinzhen blamed him and no longer waited for artillery. He immediately ordered the entire navy to advance steadily and attack from both sides at the same time.
As a result, Feng Changgui's pressure increased greatly when he was ready. The cavalry below kept running and riding and shooting, arrows were like heavy rain, and the navy on the city wall was even more terrifying. When the gunshots sounded, they never stopped. The dense lead bullets hit the wooden boards, the stigmas were thumping, and the screams were endless.
The defenders were already timid in being beaten by the navy. At this time, they could not help panic when they saw that the attack was more fierce than before. What's more, the killing was all their own people, and the soldiers were not willing to continue to fight. They were not like those officials, who were the emperors, and they were all small soldiers. They were unwilling to do so. The hands and feet of the people naturally slowed down without realizing it.
Feng Changgui was also from an old camp. After a glance, he realized something was wrong. However, at this moment, he did not dare to kill people again, for fear of causing mutiny. He shouted: "Everyone hold on for another quarter of an hour, and the reinforcements from Xizhimen will arrive soon. The prince ascended the throne, and everyone was promoted to three levels in a row!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of "boom boom boom" sounded again, but the gunmen of mountain howitzers set up artillery in the urn city to bombard it. The city tower was filled with smoke and a group of soldiers fell. At this time, they were still concerned about the promotion of the three levels. It was important to save their lives first. Huh, and immediately ran down the city tower. Who would have been foolishly staying in the city tower to eat shells, and immediately escaped.
When Feng Changgui saw this, he knew that he was powerless to turn things around, so he had to follow the soldiers to escape from the city tower. When he saw the other party fleeing, Yande was overjoyed and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened.
At this time, the commanders arrived barely. When Yande heard Yinzhen ordered him to rush to Desheng Gate, and the Anding Gate gathered, opened the city gate, and led three thousand navy along the city wall to the nearby Desheng Gate.
Under Fucheng's Sect, the three thousand reinforcements from Xizhimen were ordered to arrive, and they encountered a large number of defeated soldiers swarming out and were immediately dispersed. Seeing that the city gate was slowly squeezing, they were all hesitant. At this moment, the prince's messenger rushed over and shouted loudly: "The prince has an order, and all the troops will gather at Andingmen."
As soon as he heard this order, the rioters and reinforcements immediately released the sheep, and they all scattered their feet and ran towards the northern city.
Orondee led 5,000 cavalrymen, who were only going to go to Xi'an Gate for a walk. When he saw that the other party was already defeated, he immediately saw the hunting heart-wrenching and led a group of cavalry and then covered the killing.
When they heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder sounded from behind, the defeated soldiers were not sure what they knew. They immediately ran to the alley and the alley. Those who couldn't escape immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. They were all the Eight Banners' children, and many people couldn't bear to kill them. Most of the people who knelt on the ground and begged for mercy were able to save their lives.
Crown Prince Yinreng left the palace, gathered his troops all the way, rushed to Andingmen, feeling angry and distressed. Unexpectedly, after only three days of entering the capital, the fourteenth brother escaped from the capital in a mess, and rushed all the way. He meditated all the way, where should he go? If Kangxi had not died, the northwest and northeast were dead. Kangxi's prestige was too high in all parts of the northwest. With an imperial edict, he would be chased by Mongolian tribes in the northwest, let alone the northeast, unless he went into the mountains to be a savage.
But if Kangxi had passed away, then with the status of the crown prince, he could recruit cavalry from various Mongolian tribes in the northwest, form a large army, and then fight back to the capital. It is still unknown who will win. He is the crown prince after all, and he occupies great power.
Fucheng Gate was broken, and the cavalry of the Xiaoqi camp chased and killed the defeated soldiers all over the city. Under the leadership of Longkodo, the infantry camp quickly controlled all the main streets to implement martial law to prevent riots. As more than 10,000 soldiers in the infantry camp gradually advanced, the streets were quickly controlled.
When the princes and ministers in the inner city and relatives and relatives of the royal family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, they immediately organized the servants and servants of their respective residences to strictly guard the streets where their respective residences were located.
With the combination of two phases and one, there was no big chaos in the entire capital, and it quickly calmed down.
Chaoyang Gate.
When Ma Gaoming, the President of the Firearms Battalion, led the 3,000 cavalrymen of the Firearms Battalion, arrived, the prince's troops were evacuated and he found someone to go into the city to inquire. He heard that the Fourteenth Master led his troops to attack Fucheng Gate, and Fucheng Gate was lost in less than an hour. He couldn't help but feel that Eran was too incredible.
Immediately afterwards, the news that the prince was defeated and left Andingmen was heard. Ma Gaoming couldn't help but feel a headache. Should he go to the city or not? This entry into the city is like standing in the camp of the 14th Prince. He was hesitating, but he heard the sergeant coming to report, "Fifteenth Prince, sixteenth Prince is here to visit."
Ma Gaoming was stunned when he heard this. The fifteenth prince was from the 14th party, and everyone in the capital knew it. Could it be a lobbyist sent by the 14th prince? He was just intent on not seeing him. He was about to go back to the tent to hide, but he saw two fast horses coming like flying. He looked up and knew that the two masters had arrived. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that he couldn't hide. He hurriedly greeted him and greeted him, but he was wondering how these two masters had to run behind.
Fifteen and Sixteen, the two men have not returned to Tianjin since the Tianjin Incident, but have investigated the whereabouts of Kangxi and Yinzhen along the river. If these two men were unfortunately killed, their brothers would have been sad. Therefore, after robbing two horses, they kept searching downstream along the river, but by chance they escaped the prince's mutiny.
Then the two brothers followed the troops from the personal military camp and the vanguard battalion to the capital. They arrived in Tongzhou in the middle of the night yesterday. After hearing the news that the Navy was heading north to Beijing, the fifteenth prince Yinzhen wanted to win a group of troops for the vanguard battalion and make great contributions. They both tried it, but failed, so they put their hope on the firearm battalion.
The fifteenth prince Yinzhen saw the city gate wide open from a distance, and there were no soldiers guarding the city. He was secretly surprised. When Ma Gaoming got up, he asked, "Master Gao, what's going on in the city?"
Ma Gaoming thought to himself, these two masters were still behind me. It seemed that they were not the lobbyist of the Fourteenth Prince. He immediately felt relieved and immediately told the situation he knew. When he heard that the Fourteenth Prince had entered Beijing and the prince had been defeated and left Andingmen, the fifteenth Prince Yinzhen's heart was shocked, and a bold thought arose, and immediately asked: "The city gate is wide open, why can Lord Gao wander at the door?"
Ma Gaoming was really hard to speak about this matter, so he couldn't help but laugh: "I'm waiting for the successors to enter the city together."
The fifteenth prince Yinzhen smiled and said, "My two brothers have been well-responsible for Concubine Rong since childhood in the palace. Concubine Rong is cousin and sister. Today I will give you a great wealth."
Great wealth! Ma Gaoming's heart was thrilled, and he couldn't help but look at Yinzhen in confusion. The sixteenth prince Yinlu was very clever. When he heard the fifteenth brother speak nonsense and deceive Ma Gaoming, he smiled and said, "Fifteenth brother, our brothers are slight, but what they say is not necessarily willing to believe?"
"Oh, the two masters are the little masters of slaves. This is a waste of time." Ma Gaoming immediately smiled and said, "He really can't afford to offend these masters.
The fifteenth prince Yinzhen smiled and urged the mount, and the two rushed forward. Ma Gaoming had just breathed a sigh of relief, but Yinzhen turned his head back and said with a smile: "Now I tell you that I have made a favor, and I can also give Concubine Rong a favor." He smiled and said with a smile: "Tell you that the emperor was in the navy and was in the river."
Ah! Ma Gaoming immediately opened his eyes wide and hesitated: "Why has there been no news?"
Yinzhen smiled and said, "Mr. Ma has been smart for a lifetime and is confused for a while. You can't guess the reason before, but can't guess it now?"
Ma Gaoming thought for a moment and hesitated: "Is it to save the hostage clan relatives and ministers?"
"Master Gao is really clear at a glance." Yinzhen said with a smile: "Don't tell others, this is a good opportunity."
The more Ma Gaoming thought about it, the more he became more and more excited, and Kangxi was relieved in the navy. What does this mean? As the minister of the firearms camp, he was also a spirited figure, and immediately realized that this was indeed a rare opportunity. Seeing that the horse in Yinzhen circle was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted: "Fifteenth Master."
"There is something else?" The fifteenth prince Yinzhen asked knowingly, but he was very nervous.
"Fifteenth Master." Ma Gaoming immediately calmed down and said, "The prince was defeated and left Andingmen. Don't you want to make a great contribution?"
Yinzhen blinked and said, "How many people do the prince have? I won't do the risky things."
"Not many, the whistle detective said only two thousand people." Ma Gaoming was afraid that the young master would not go. Since he wanted to intercept the prince, he naturally had to bring these two young masters with him, so that he was justified.
"What are you waiting for?" Yinzhen immediately thrust his chest and said, "I like to do something about knocking down the water dog."
