The confrontation between two armies and even two regimes is somewhat like playing chess, but it is different from playing chess. When playing chess in Wenping, the masters will make clever moves and the low players will make faint moves. As more and more moves are made, the situation will gradually become clearer. This is similar to the confrontation between military and government.
However, after the scale of the military-civilian confrontation exceeds a certain level, it is difficult to grasp the overall situation, and it is also difficult to judge whether a certain move is a coup or a coma.
So in the end, both sides could only resort to luck. Previously, Hou Zhi had trapped thousands of Li Ting's soldiers and forced the Song army to hesitate. It seemed that the Kaifeng court had the luck to continue.
But as Guo Ning quickly entered the city and subdued the Song army again, luck seemed to gradually turn back to Ding Haijun.
Wanyan Shouxu never expected that Wanyan Xielie, whom his family valued so much and had given him such an important responsibility, would suddenly rebel, causing the last mobile force in Kaifeng City to disperse in a flurry.
He didn't even expect that at the moment when the bodyguards and soldiers had not arrived, such a group of fierce gods with smoke and fire marks all over their bodies would rush out of the fire scene outside the Suzaku Gate!
The dozen or so people who were sent to close the city gate were instantly killed by them. These people rushed outward and ran straight into the line of ceremonial guards.
The Yiwei immediately went into chaos.
"Stop them! Kill them! Close the city gate!" Tian Zhuo shouted wildly from the side. Since arriving in Kaifeng, Tian Zhuo has been busy everywhere, trying his best to support half of the Kingdom of Jin.
Even if Ding Haijun suddenly attacked and caught him off guard, Tian Zhuo always remained calm and tried to use various methods to maintain the situation, but at this moment, Tian Zhuo's voice broke.
When he dispatched the inner city garrison to go out, in order to show the imperial power and boost morale, King Sui posted an emperor's book at Zhuque Gate.
However, at this time, of course, there was no way to show off the large chariot book with 21,218 men and 8,198 horses. There were only more than 300 ceremonial guards, gate flags and drums on top of the city. Most of them are improvised internal offerings.
These inner worshipers had always only obeyed the emperor's orders, and they had just learned of Wanyan Xielie's rebellion. Everyone was panicking. When the emperor came down from the tower, they were only thinking about following the emperor back to the palace, and then finding a corner to hide. .
Tian Zhuo suddenly shouted like this. They were stunned for a moment, ignored him, and ran away as usual. Some people panicked and ran past Wanyan Shouxu.
Wanyan Shouxu was so angry that he almost fainted. There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the Kaifeng court fighting fiercely outside the city, and there are dozens of military states who obey the imperial edict!
Although the current situation is difficult, if we go to Henan Prefecture or Shaanxi Province in time according to the original plan, we may not have no chance of making a comeback.
But these people, these people who are supposed to be loyal to Emperor Jin, have no loyalty at all! Just like Wanyan Xielie!
They all benefited from the Kaifeng court. In order to win their loyalty, I also worked hard and acted like a polite and virtuous corporal!
But how do they treat me? Obviously I have a chance! Obviously I have made so much preparation!
It is clear that the difficulties before us are just small, but as long as everyone unites as one, we can overcome them! If Wanyan Xilie does not betray, Guo Ning will be killed as soon as our army arrives, and the world will be peaceful!
However, these people didn't believe me and thought I was going to lose! How can I win when everyone thinks so?
Wanyan Shouxu's complexion suddenly turned pale, and he muttered a few words. He suddenly took the sword from the hands of his close entourage and chopped it off violently.
When Wanyan Shouxu was in Zhongdu, he practiced martial arts. Later, when he came to Kaifeng and became the emperor, he was inevitably more luxurious, so he didn't have the energy to train himself, and he became fat.
But his foundation was still there, and his arms were very strong. This sword hit the fleeing man in the face, immediately knocking him to the ground, and then stabbed straight into the chest with the sword, immediately finishing the attack.
This was the first time in his life that he had killed someone with his own hands. When he swung the sword, his body was too close, his robe was covered with blood, and the strong smell of blood made him dizzy.
He supported himself and shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear the order? Stop the thieves quickly! Close the city gate! Whoever dares to retreat, I will kill him!" After all, he has been the emperor for two years, and his daily behavior is dignified. When the people saw that the emperor was covered in blood and full of murderous aura, they were all in awe. They quickly stopped and turned back to fight with the enemy while blocking the door.
After turning back, I found that there were only a few dozen enemies in the group, and each of them had their faces burned to pieces. They were in such a mess that they seemed to have only half a life. Many of them didn't even have weapons, so they just came to provoke them with bare hands!
The worshipers laughed immediately, feeling that they were too timid just now; those companions who went to close the door were obviously caught off guard and fell into the hands of thieves. At this moment, hundreds of people from our side came together, and they didn't want to do much harm. How could they block the door? !
In particular, a chamberlain who was holding a six-foot sword, wearing a red robe on his head, and wearing a red armor, weighed the heavy weapon in his hand, and with a sense of courage, he went up and slashed at the thief at the front.
However, the Yidao was so wide that it was difficult to swing. The blade was still in the air. The strong young man opposite held the short knife and flipped it over and over, directly grazing his wrist.
At the same time that the sword dropped from his hand and fell to the ground, the young man suddenly stepped forward and dragged the short sword halfway around the servant's neck.
The movement didn't seem big or very fast. When the blade passed by, there was only a thin red mark on the neck at first.
But the mark expanded instantly, the skin contracted upward and downward, the severed trachea twitched, and blood sprayed out.
Seeing the tragedy in front, a chamberlain running behind him screamed in fright and dropped the golden gun in his hand.
Li Ting didn't hold back, he jumped up and stabbed with the knife. The knife stabbed the waiter's left eye socket. It plunged diagonally downwards four or five inches deep, and struck twice in the head.
Blood spurted out from the eye sockets of the chamberlain, but his whole body stagnated and fell to the ground like a clay sculpture.
Seeing two companions die one after another, the servants were shocked and angry. A person from the side shouted loudly and rushed towards him with a Kingo Yamen flag to attack.
Li Ting dodged, struck the sharp tip of the Yamen flag with his straight knife, and then slid forward. He flipped his wrist and was about to cut his throat when he stepped on blood under his feet.
The process of walking through the fire scene was really difficult and dangerous. The soles of the boots under his feet were burned to pieces. It was not easy to maintain balance and he fell forward.
The waiter holding the flag had an excited face and turned the flag downwards, intending to hit Li Ting in the back. But just halfway through the movement, his left ankle suffered severe pain. It turned out that even though Li Ting was lying on the ground, he still kept the knife in his hand and cut off the enemy's hamstring with a single horizontal swing.
The waiter cried out in pain and began to prick slowly with his hands. He held the flag upside down, with his chest and abdomen wide open. Li Ting was about to stand up when he suddenly heard the sound of wind behind his head. It turned out to be a comrade from the Ding Navy behind him who picked up a golden gun and threw it. The golden gun grazed the side of Li Ting's ear and penetrated the chamberlain's penis. lower abdomen.
"Thank you!" Li Ting laughed loudly, jumped up, and kicked the golden gun's tail. The huge force drove the attendant staggering backward. He wanted to go to the end, but was supported by the gun barrel, so he continued to scream one after another.
Looking at the rest of the Yi Guards, they were no match for Li Ting's men. Although King Sui worked hard in Kaifeng and selected good talents, the servants were still just servants. They were to serve others, so it was not necessarily expected that they would be brave and good at fighting?
How quickly they mustered up their courage just now, now they are so miserable that their courage is gone and their hands and feet are weak.
On the contrary, Li Ting and his party, after narrowly escaping from the fire, were still able to fight boldly. Dozens of people broke through the obstruction of 200 people, chopping melons and vegetables along the way without any hindrance.
In the blink of an eye, everyone around the city gate who dared to resist was dead. There seemed to be people in the distance clamoring to rush here. The defense of the inner city was too empty. That group of people were probably the guards and soldiers from the imperial city. No matter how fast they arrived, it would be too late.
Tian Zhuo protected Wanyan Shouxu and retreated step by step, and then sent two of his own guards out to fight. These two men were the heroes he recruited when he was in Yuzhou as a military commander. They had fought with the Mongols with him and had him rescue a young boy.
The two of them took the order and went. As soon as a person ran a few steps, an arrow shot straight from the side and hit his chest, causing him to fall down with a groan.
The other person was much more alert and pushed a chamberlain in front as a cover. The waiter screamed and was hit by two arrows. He took the opportunity to get close, intending to use the street terrain to fight hand-to-hand.
Unexpectedly, Li Ting's subordinates had already surrounded him on all sides, so there was no room for maneuver. He pushed the waiter a few more steps, estimated the position, got up and dodged towards an alley to the side.
But as soon as the man jumped up, swords came down beside him and immediately cut him into several pieces. The place where the two died was not far from Wanyan Shouxu, and hot blood was once again sprinkled on his face.
Tian Zhuo guessed that the ceremonial guards were useless, so he abandoned his shoulder carriage and took Wanyan Shouxu and fled on foot. After running for hundreds or dozens of steps, Wanyan Shouxu was panting heavily. When he opened his mouth, blood spattered in.
He stood still, frowned, coughed a few times, and spit. Tian Zhuoyu pulled him back and tried to block him with his own body.
Wanyan Shouxu pressed the back of Tian Zhuo's hand and shook his head. His unwillingness and anger had faded by this time. He looked up at the people striding up to him and asked, "Which branch of the Ding Navy are you from? Are you trying to kill me?"
