Chapter Three Hundred and Ten: Breaking In
The dissatisfaction of Ming soldiers has been around for a long time, and Chen Tianping said that he had repeatedly instructed people to make trouble.
Although this is just to achieve the political purpose of driving away the Ming army, for ordinary Qiu Ba, good is good, bad is bad. You always provoke the old man, and the old man must endure it. But since Xiangguo Temple is burned tonight, everyone suspects that it was made by you Annan people, so... there is no need to be polite.
A person's anger is just a few words of national curse. After half an hour of cursing, his anger will disappear. What should he do? But if there are ten people angry and the other party is not lucky and there is only one person, then you must not move bricks and pat your head to make you bloom.
But now there is the anger of thousands of people. This anger spreads immediately, and it explodes instantly like boiling hot oil.
The military officers of each battalion could not be suppressed at all, not to mention that there were some Lao Qiuba who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos on the surface, but in fact they were secretly encouraging them.
The old fried dough sticks have always been like this, the most cunning thing. Now they are screaming to be a gunman for others. They weighed the matter and felt that the law would not blame the public. In addition, they were unhappy with Annan, so they tried their best to say something that was not allowed or that, and the people would disappear.
The Ming army came out everywhere. Someone took the city gate. As soon as the city gate opened, the Ming army outside the city rushed in.
The Ming army in each battalion in the city was not polite, and I don’t know who shouted: “Go to the palace!” Everyone’s eyes turned red. Of course, they were not going to settle the score with someone, but the Annan Palace was rare. If you don’t take advantage of the situation, when will you wait?
The Annan imperial guards heard the shouts of killing everywhere at this time, and were already a little trembling in the dark night. General Li Hong stood up and led a team of personal soldiers and shouted: "Protect Your Highness, don't let the thieves..."
The sound was quickly overwhelmed by the shouts and killings. There were shadows everywhere in the streets, and countless people rushed over on the floor tiles.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The two sides burst into anger and then fought together.
This fierce battle came a bit inexplicably. Before a stick of incense, who would have thought that two "friendly troops" would face each other for no reason? However, there was never a hatred in this world for no reason. The Annan people had angered Qiu Ba and the others from the beginning. Now there is a reason, and the fuse is a little bit, and almost everyone has no hesitation!
Fighting everywhere, there were more than thirty chaotic battles everywhere in the city, especially near the palace, where red eyes were everywhere, fighting against each other.
Li Hong was frightened and ordered his subordinates to fight to the death while retreating to the West Lake Gate.
The status of this West Lake Gate is equivalent to the Daming Gate of the Forbidden City in Nanjing. It is the center of the royal city. At this time, the gate is closed and the lights are on the city tower. Li Hong stood on the city tower and looked at Shenglong City. There were fires everywhere outside. His heart was up and down. While he ordered people to report to Chen Tianping, he arranged people to guard the city gate.
In the thick fog, a team of people rushed towards the West Lake Gate. They turned a deaf ear to the fighting in other places, as if a beast was staring at it.
Hao Fenglou arrived under the city tower, and the thick fog obscured the outline of the city tower, but he had already become familiar with it when he entered and exited the Annan Palace several times.
At this time, his eyes looked at the thick fog, as if he had broken through the fog and saw Li Hong on the top of the city.
Hao Fenglou shouted word by word: "Open the door and resist stubbornly, and you will be ruined."
Li Hong on the city tower heard it clearly. This palace city is naturally not as high as the Forbidden City, and the city wall is not high. Therefore, although the movements below cannot be seen, they can be clearly heard.
Li Hong vaguely heard Hao Fenglou's voice, and immediately took a deep breath and said, "Is Hao Junshi of the Ming Dynasty under the city?"
Hao Fenglou said: "It's me."
Li Hong's face was as dark as the face, but he had to bite the bullet and said, "Why is Hao Qianshi like this? Doesn't you know that Annan and the Ming Dynasty are friendly countries..."
Hao Fenglou was too lazy to listen to his longing and shouted: "Can you open the city gate?"
Li Hong was only silent when it came to Hao Fenglou's words.
He had to grit his teeth and said to the surrounding soldiers: "Hold on, just hold on until dawn..."
It’s just a pity that before he finished speaking, he heard a loud bang, and the earth shook.
It's a cannon.
The latest Shenwu Artillery cannon is not heavy. It is equipped with a wheel at the bottom and can be followed by a horse. As soon as the team stops, several skilled gunners immediately remove the horse and start adjusting. This portable cannon is actually not very powerful, it is just because it is strong in mobile names.
But at present, it is enough to deal with the Annan royal palace.
The shells were shot at the gate without hesitation.
Rumble...
The palace gate with iron sheets was vulnerable and a hole quickly appeared.
Hao Fenglou took advantage of the cannon filling medicine and shouted: "Can you open the door?"
Li Hong's face changed instantly on the city tower.
Does he have a choice? If it were someone else, he might have a choice, but Li Hong had no way out because he did a lot of things for Chen Tianping. In the eyes of others, Li Hong was Chen Tianping's confidant.
So he smiled coldly and said, "The city gate is about to be out of order. Everyone obeys the orders and follow me to go down the city tower and fight to the death with these Han monks!"
Thousands of Annan imperial guards went downstairs and hid behind the city walls on both sides of the palace gate.
Rumble...
Another big hole appeared.
The palace gate began to shake, and with a last bang, a big hole of several people was revealed.
"Clog!"
Li Hong personally picked up the knife and called out a team of imperial guards to come forward.
At the same time, on the other side of the door opening, the musketeers were already rushing over.
Perhaps Li Hong thought that this door hole with only a few people side by side was the best protection for the imperial guards. After all, based on the sound, there were not many Ming troops outside, but there were nearly two thousand imperial guards inside, and two thousand people guarded a door hole. Even if the Ming army had three heads and six arms, this door hole that could accommodate several people was undoubtedly a great challenge for the Ming army who wanted to rush into the palace city.
Unfortunately, Hao Fenglou's idea is different from him. He is best at this kind of terrain.
"kill!"
"kill!"
Hulala's musketeers rushed forward.
The Annan Imperial Guard, who appeared behind the door opening, had already set up a spear, like a forest, blocked the door opening and was airtight.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the gun sounded, bang bang bang bang bang bang...
The short gun flew across the narrow door hole, and the spearman in front immediately fell down like harvested wheat.
However, the sound of the musket did not stop. At this distance, the other party blocked the door hole so densely, and there was almost no need to calibrate. He just needed to raise his hand and wipe out all the lead bullets in the medicine tank.
More and more imperial guards fell. At this time, the Annan people had already reacted, collapsed instantly, and retreated one after another.
The defeat was like a mountain of defeat.
These imperial guards were the temporary official troops. Compared with real officers and soldiers, they may not lose much physical strength. However, once these guys who have never seen a large battle have suffered losses, they will not even touch the enemy in the darkness, and there will be countless casualties. At this time, there is no desire to fight? They ran away in a hurry, and Li Hong could not hold on at all.
The musketeers have rushed into the palace...
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the silver palace, Chen Tianping's face looked particularly pale. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made the wrong plan. He originally thought that everyone was being played with his applause, but now... he still made the mistake.
But... why did Mingjun do it on himself?
He couldn't understand, could it be that the Ming Dynasty court issued a secret order? No, this is impossible. Chen Tianping has this confidence. The Ming Dynasty court has always believed that it is better to have less than more things. They have always loved face and fought against themselves in the name of restoring their country. How could they do it to themselves now?
If the Ming Dynasty court did this, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face. The Ming Dynasty court looked at this more important than real profit. How could it be that it would suddenly face itself regardless of its face?
Not to mention that Annan is not friendly to the Han people, and the anti-Ming mood has always been high. At this time, they will eliminate themselves, which will only cause Annan to fall into civil strife. It is even possible that the remnants of the Hu family took the opportunity to stand up and finally gave birth to Annan who was hostile to the Ming Dynasty. What are the benefits of doing this?
Could it be...the Ming army is arbitrarily making a decision?
This... seems impossible. The Ming Dynasty suppressed the warriors very severely and would hardly give the warriors any chance to make their own decisions. Unless these warriors want to rebel, otherwise...
The shouts of killing outside became louder and louder, and Chen Tianping's heart beat rapidly and he suddenly collapsed on the chair.
Reason told him that there is no need to be afraid at the moment. Perhaps these Ming soldiers were just scaring themselves and trying to take the opportunity to control themselves.
Without themselves, they could not control Annan, and the Ming Dynasty court would definitely punish them, unless they wanted to die with themselves, otherwise...
But even so, Chen Tianping's heart was still beating hard.
At this moment, a rapid footsteps came from outside, and the door of the hall knocked open, and an inner official was pushed in. The inner official shouted: "This is..."
Bang bang...
He fired two consecutive muskets, and the inner officer fell to the ground with his back, without making any sound.
Chen Tianping almost jumped up. He stared at the inner official who was lying in a pool of blood, trying to vomit.
At this time, a man walked in slowly with his hands in his arms. The man turned into ashes, and Chen Tianping also knew him.
Of course he remembered this person. This person had been cursed by himself before, and then this person saved his life, and then this person escorted him to Annan. Now, this person stood in front of him, with a cold expression and a murderous look.
