Lord of the House: Chapter 127 Imperial City

In the early morning of the second day of the first month of December, She Feihu, Yu Wenshan, Luo Wenhu and other generals led their troops out of Yijiangmen to evacuate to the west, and left the city in the name of retaking the south of the city to the west of Jinling Mountain. Seeing that none of the important generals showed up, did he realize the abnormality.

At the beginning, a small group of generals and soldiers could not keep the military discipline and went out to loot, and the fierce military discipline supervisor team disappeared. By the end of the day, the riots began to spread to the whole city; the last group of Zhejiang and Fujian troops left in Jiangning City The dark piles were also set on fire everywhere.

The weather was dry, and the arson was deliberately deployed by the Zhejiang-Fujian Army for several days. One piece of fire was set on fire, and one piece was burned. The whole alley was strung together, and a huge fire dragon was formed in the blink of an eye.

The people are like frightened birds, watching the fire and the soldiers scattered, panicked...

The chaos in the outer city naturally quickly attracted the attention of those who were trapped in the imperial city.

The imperial city is divided into inner and outer cities, the outer city is where the six official offices are located, and the inner city is the palace city. Layers of defenses, Gao Zongting, Chen Xiyan and other officials left behind in Jiangning, as well as the family members of officials who came to take refuge in times of chaos, as well as civilians near Dongcheng, are crowded in the palace on weekdays.

The patrol at night did not rest until the early morning, and in the early morning Zhang Yubo was still leaning against the corner of the wall wrapped in a cloak and sleeping soundly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching, Zhang Yubo opened Xing Song's eyes and saw Zhao Hu's squire. This man's face was full of pockmarks. Zhang Yubo only knew that everyone called him Zhao Mazi. He was a brave general. Zhang Yubo saw with his own eyes that there were as many as six enemy soldiers who had chopped him down at the head of the city these few days.

Seeing Zhao Mazi approaching, Zhang Yubo shuddered, listening to the movement of the soldiers outside, the generals were gathering, thinking that something was going on outside, so he quickly got up from the ground and asked, "The thieves are starting to attack again? "

"I didn't attack, but the city was in a mess, and something big happened." Zhao Mazi fought bravely, but he was stupid.

Zhang Yubo listened confused, picked up his saber and walked out, and he almost bumped into Yuan Jinqiu who was supporting Chen Xiyan when he just left.

"Master Zhang, please slow down, Chen Xiangye's body can't stand being hit by you..." Yuan Jinqiu said jokingly.

"Little Gizmodo, this old man is not a piece of paper," Chen Xiyan held himself up to his elders, and was rude to Yuan Jinqiu, who was the Marquis of Yongchang. He first scolded Yuan Jinqiu with a smile, and then explained to Zhang Yubo, "Gao Zongting said The thieves have been in chaos since the early morning. It seems that the main force of Huaidong's troops has arrived, and the thieves can't bear the Huaidong army to attack the city and will flee first..."

Chen Xiyan, with white hair and a bright head, was as thin as a dead tree, but he was still in high spirits. In the past few days, Chen Xiyan has been patrolling the city head, more frequently than Zhang Yubo, but there is no sign that his body can not support at all, but Mu Laoguo fell ill after retreating into the imperial city. I've been lying on the sick bed and can't get up...

Zhang Yubo watched Chen Enze organize the soldiers in the palace city to gather in the outer city, and it seemed that he was planning to organize a counterattack from the palace city. What about the prince? He can't wait to see this moment, he has to see the scene of the thieves being driven out!"

"Can his body still go to the Qiaolou to blow the cold wind?" Chen Xiyan's voice was tense and strong, and it sounded to make people feel refreshed...

Although only three or five days have passed, to those who are trapped in the imperial city, it seems as long as the past three or five months.

When he was forced to abandon the outer city and stick to the imperial city, the situation in Jiangning had reached the most critical edge. He knew that the main force of the Huaidong Army would come from Xiaoshan north to help, but what choice would the luxury family make? The southward invasion of the captives will completely destroy the Yuan clan at the last point of the Yue Dynasty. No one can say whether the main force of Huaidong's troops and horses can successfully pass through the blockade between Xiling and Maoshan of Taihu Lake and enter the periphery of Jiangning...

The so-called do your best to obey the destiny, even Gao Zongting, who was good at calculating, could not know for sure whether the main force of Huaidong's troops would encounter other variables on the way to the north. Even an unexpected heavy rain can hold Huaidong troops and horses for several days and change the direction of the entire battle. After the Zhejiang and Fujian troops occupied the outer city, due to the city walls of the outer city, especially the Donghuamen section, there was no danger. The city walls of Keyi are especially high, blocking the view from the Qiaolou in the imperial city. Those who have retreated to the imperial city have been completely unaware of the development of the external situation for the past few days. Feeling like a year...

How can people not be excited when they hear signs of thieves from the outer city fleeing unsteadily? Counting with fingers, this is the fifth day since retreating to the imperial city. For the past five days, although everyone seems to be panicking, the days are not too hard.

In the end, the officials who stayed behind in Jiangning and retreated into the imperial city were not only Chen Xiyan, Fan Jiliang, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan, etc., Mu Guogong and Yongchang Hou Yuan Jinqiu, all took their servants to escape into the imperial city, including Xie Chaozhong and Liu. Until the criminal ministers who were imprisoned by Emperor Yongxing, Emperor Yongxing also forgot them before abandoning the city, and kept them in the prison in the imperial city.

After Gao Zongting decided to stick to the imperial city, there was still nearly half a day to evacuate before the Zhejiang-Fujian army came to encircle it. He also tried his best to bring the family members of officials, family members and people near Dongcheng to the imperial city for refuge, including those who were as famous as Sumei. Chen Qingqing also followed Yongchang Hou Yuanjinqiu to escape into the imperial city and escaped into a catastrophe.

Zhang Yubo, Yuan Jinqiu and others surrounded Chen Xiyan and walked to the outer city. Zhao Hu had already put on his armor and mounted his horse. It seemed that he personally led his soldiers to fight out from the imperial city. Zhang Yubo didn't care to talk to Zhao Hu, and almost used his hands and feet to board the southeast corner. The Qiaolou, Gao Zongting, Zhao Shuhan and others have long been here...

The city was full of flames, and the army was scattered everywhere, similar to the situation when Emperor Yongxing abandoned the city and fled westward.

The Zhejiang and Fujian Army did not control the chaos in the outer city, and even no longer restrained the military illusion and condoned the generals and soldiers to loot everywhere, which meant that the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in the outer city had begun to collapse, even the Zhejiang and Fujian Army surrounded by the imperial city. People kept fleeing to the west and south, and they no longer had the intention to besiege the imperial city. Armor and weapons were scattered everywhere, and there was no general in Zhejiang or Fujian who came to supervise and suppress...

In this case, there was no need for outside Huaidong troops to come in, just relying on the defenders in the imperial city, the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in the outer city, which were loosely disciplined and began to show signs of collapse, could be defeated.

After removing the stuffing behind the main entrance of the imperial city, Zhao Hu rode on the horse, wielding his lance and leading his troops out, and the last hundreds of enemy troops in the barricade outside the main entrance of the imperial city also fled everywhere in the blink of an eye. , Zhang Yubo was so excited that he began to tremble: The Zhejiang-Fujian army rebels have collapsed, and the recovery of Jiangning City is just around the corner...

At this time, there were also shouts of killing in the direction of Donghua Gate. Soon, a cloud ladder was seen climbing the city wall over there, and soldiers climbed up from the crenel. It should be the soldiers of the Huaidong Army outside the city who noticed the outer city. Chaos, decisively began to attack the city.

Zhang Yubo and the others opened their eyes on the Qiaolou Tower of the Imperial City and saw that the enemy troops on the Donghuamen Tower were almost defeated without any resistance, and they took their way and fled.

Seeing the red flag of Huaidong being planted on the tower of Donghua Gate, Zhang Yubo was filled with emotion. The city head changed to the king's flag. Who would have thought that Jiangning City would change its owner twice in such a short period of time?

The city was full of rioters, and there were dozens of fires, but don't look at Jiangning City's chaos, it's all hasty chaos, as long as Huaidong soldiers and horses can enter the city in time, send troops to suppress, control the riots, and put out the riots. Fire head, it won't hurt at all...

Chen Enze then also went out of the imperial city to drive out and suppress the rebels, but the city was full of fires, and there were chaotic people and rebels mixed in it. Rather than suppressing the rebels, it was more important to stop the rebels. The fire spread everywhere. Zhang Yubo and the others couldn't help at this time, they could only stand on the Qiaolou excitedly and anxiously watching all this.

"Chen Xiangye, Chen Xiangye!"

Hearing Yuan Jinqiu screaming in panic, Zhang Yubo looked back, but Chen Xiyan's body was stiff and was about to fall back in Yuan Jinqiu's arms - seeing Chen Xiyan's face full of tears~www.mtlnovel.com~ but his face was full of tears. Zhang Yubo's expression and eyes were stuck there. Zhang Yubo was startled. He and Fan Jiliang moved faster and helped Yuan Jinqiu hold Chen Xiyan's body. Chen Xiyan's body was already stiff.

Just as everyone was excitedly and anxiously looking at the outside of the imperial city and downstairs, Chen Xiyan stood in the middle of the crowd, watching the grand scene of Huaidong's recovery of Jiangning and quietly passed away. I don't know what he was thinking at the moment of his death...

Emperor Yongxing insisted on abandoning Jiangning and fleeing to the west. Chen Xiyan made the final struggle. Although he had to stay behind in the end, he was abandoned by Emperor Yongxing in Jiangning City. At that moment, Chen Xiyan had almost exhausted his last energy, and he was able to support him to return to light, to support his will to hang his life in the last few days, perhaps to see Huaidong reinforcements enter the city to solve the crisis of Jiangning... …

Fan Jiliang and Chen Xiyan's second son, Chen Yu, couldn't help crying. At this time, Zeng Mingxin's old family, Zeng Shou, climbed upstairs and rolled upstairs, saying sadly, "The old man is gone! The old man is gone! !"

Zhang Yubo was stunned, unable to hold back his tears, and Gao Zongting also stood there for a while, silent for a while: Fan Jiliang cried: "The emperor abandoned the city and left, and Mu Guogong invited Chen Xiang to accompany him on the street. A prophecy!"

At this time, the Donghua Gate had opened, and a group of Huaidong soldiers came in from the direction of Donghua Gate. There was almost no interception along the way.

The Donghua Gate was originally the main business of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army garrison, but Dongcheng was mainly the residence of officials and various government offices, and it was next to the imperial city. At this time, there was nothing to rob in the Dongcheng, and the Huaidong Army attacked from the Donghua Gate. When they came in, the defenders of the imperial city took the initiative to attack again, and the generals of the defenders near Donghua Gate spread their feet and ran the fastest. At this time, all those who could run ran away, and the rest of the disabled were unable to escape, so they simply surrendered... My QT room is open!
