When the Ming army broke into the city and began to occupy the entire city and accepted the surrender of the Xixia army, Ren Dejing had just learned that his army had rioted.
The military riot in the outer city was so large that the imperial city was affected. Some of the rioting soldiers rushed into the imperial city and began to burn, kill and loot. The security of the imperial city was seriously challenged.
However, what is interesting is that Ren Dejing did not even know what the original cause of the riot was. This situation is full of black humor.
Despite this, Ren Dejing also knew what he should do most now.
He immediately called in all the palace guards he could control and asked them to protect him while also protecting his daughter and the young emperor Li Chunbao.
Then he ordered Ren Yong, a son of the Ren family and a brave general, to lead the mobile palace guards to suppress the rebels and troublemakers in the imperial city, kill them all, close the gates of the imperial city, and ensure the safety of the imperial city.
After receiving the order, Ren Yong led hundreds of guardsmen and rushed out, leaving Ren Dejing alone and restless.
He is not worried about the army's riot now. What he is most worried about now is that the Ming army will take advantage of the army's riot to attack the capital, and then everything will be over.
His reinforcements have not arrived yet. If the Ming army invades the imperial city, wouldn't it be tantamount to announcing his death sentence?
He had just killed Li Renxiao and all his opponents, and he was going to die before he could fully enjoy his supreme power?
How is this acceptable?
Ren Dejing couldn't accept this ending.
But everything was not up to him. After the Ming army entered the city, the situation was beyond his control.
Jiang Liangping personally led the vanguard into the city, and immediately led the guide to the imperial city, because he heard that many riot troops were going to attack the imperial city, and there might be one or two riot troops. Rushed into the imperial city.
That would be wonderful, wouldn't it?
As a result, he really found the direction to rush into the imperial city. In ecstasy, Jiang Liangping immediately commanded the army to seize the city gate and completely controlled the imperial city gate, allowing the vanguard of the Ming army to rush into the Xixia Imperial City.
It should be said that it is an imperial city after all. Although Xixia is a small country, the construction and scale of the imperial city, which has been continuously expanded by several generations of emperors, are still quite good.
The level of luxury in some places even exceeds that of the Ming Palace in Zhongdu.
At least that's how it seems to Jiang Liangping.
The Zhongdu Palace was originally left by the Jin Kingdom. It was somewhat damaged during the war. Su Yonglin asked the craftsmen to repair some of the dilapidated buildings, and then moved in without any expansion.
This is how Su Yonglin tried every means to save money and spend it where it should be spent, such as the Yellow River Project.
The investment of 30 billion yuan was done as promised, and the Yellow River diversion project was launched immediately. Once successful, he would be the contemporary Dayu, worthy of being remembered by the people of the entire Central Plains forever.
From such small things as the size and luxury of the palace, Jiang Liangping could see why Xixia was bound to perish.
The land area is less than one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, and the total population is less than one-tenth of the Ming Dynasty, but there is a palace that is more luxurious than the Ming Dynasty Palace.
If this isn't a sign of national destruction, what is it?
Jiang Liangping spurned their luxury and led his troops straight to the Xixia Palace.
When Jiang Liangping entered the Xixia Palace, he happened to encounter Ren Yong leading more than 500 Forbidden Army soldiers to close the city gate. Ren Yong had previously led his troops to clear out the rioting soldiers who broke into the palace and killed them all. Now, Covered in blood, he rushed over to close the city gate.
Good guy, we ran into Jiang Liangping's army head on.
"Array!!!"
As soon as Jiang Liangping saw this group of murderous Xixia soldiers, he knew that they were coming with bad intentions, and immediately ordered the Ming soldiers who rushed in with him to form an array.
The excellent training the Ming army soldiers received allowed them to react quickly and immediately make corresponding tactical actions according to the type of weapons they held. They quickly completed the preliminary formation and made continuous adjustments.
Of course, Jiang Liangping didn't know that he was the unkind person in Ren Yong's eyes. He didn't know how to deal with it, and he didn't know how panicked Ren Yong was when he saw him.
Everyone in the Xixia military circles knew about the strength and majesty of the Ming army. There was no reason why Ren Yong didn't know about it, and these people with completely different military uniforms were obviously Ming soldiers.
Ren Yong obviously didn't expect that the Ming army had already rushed into the imperial city. Isn't this a fool's errand?
However, Ren Yong, who had received strict military training and high-intensity loyalty training since childhood, could not retreat even if he was in awe of the Ming army.
So when the Ming army formed a formation, he immediately ordered his forbidden troops to form a formation.
These imperial soldiers belonging to Ren Dejing were quite capable. After hearing the order, they quickly formed a formation. However, unfortunately, they did not have many crossbowmen, while Jiang Liangping had a group of crossbowmen.
At close range, the Ming army's crossbowmen pulled the trigger decisively, and countless crossbow arrows were fired at Ren Yong and his soldiers. They resisted tenaciously with their shields, but the shields were not enough to protect them all, and many of them were blocked. Soldiers were injured and died after being hit by crossbow arrows.
Arrow shooting could not completely destroy Ren Yong's troops. They approached the Ming army under the rain of arrows, and the Ming army also approached them. Soon, the two military formations collided together.
The sword and shield bearers stood on the front line, maintaining the military formation to prevent the other side from jumping out of the military formation to attack and destroy the soldiers maintaining the military formation. The spearmen stood in the queue and stabbed hard, with several steps between the two sides. The stabbing began at a distance of meters.
The soldiers of the Ming Army held up their spears and thrust out the spears in an almost uniform manner according to the standard thrusting movements learned in the training camp, then retracted them, thrust them out again, and retracted them again. The whole process was smooth and smooth without any awkwardness.
The Xixia side was obviously not to be outdone, fighting against the Ming army's spear thrusts, looking for gaps in the opposite Ming army's formation with their spears, or stabbing directly against the shield of the sword and shield hand. The spears of both sides were intertwined in mid-air, forming a forest of spears.
Under the forest of guns, Ren Yong obviously found that his own spearmen were not as good as the Ming army's spearmen. The opponent's thrusts were more regular, more uniform and very lethal. It was difficult for his own side to deal with it. Many people had been killed by the thrusts. .
Ren Yong is very anxious, but this is not all he will face.
Jiang Liangping ordered the dancing team to dispatch.
The Ming Army Tiaodang Team was a new unit set up by Su Yonglin after the founding of the People's Republic of China in order to enhance the Ming Army's combat effectiveness and after it was greatly enriched with supplies.
They are elite soldiers selected from the best in the army. They must have strong bodies and strong fighting abilities. They are responsible for breaking the deadlock during military confrontations.
They often avoid the spears thrust by the opponent's formation by squatting and lying down, and quickly sneak in front of the opponent's formation to kill the opponent's sword, shield and spearmen in order to shake the opponent's formation. They can be called death squads in hand-to-hand combat. .
Only the elite armies of the ancients had a similar organization. Su Yonglin increased investment in the army and established a new type of army, so he universalized this organization in the army and stipulated that each battalion must have no less than fifty soldiers. Team.
So Jiang Liangping gave an order, and the Ming army's Tiaodang soldiers rushed out from under the sword and shield hand's shield, sneaked in front of the Xixia sword and shield hand on the opposite side, and began to attack.
