After searching for most of the day, he couldn't find the emperor's grandson. Yu Tian, ​​who became frustrated, rushed out of the villa and stood on the steps in front of the door, looking at the crowded street. blow

The drums heard from the city walls are enemy drums, and the gongs beaten in the city are warning gongs.

Knowing that there are rebels all over Henan Province, and based on the movement in Kaifeng City at this moment, everyone knew that those damn rebels were really coming to Kaifeng City.

It's just different from Yutian's expectation when he heard the chaotic noise outside the courtyard in Bieyuan. Although everyone in Kaifeng City outside Bieyuan had nervous expressions on their faces, they were not panicked.

Everyone was carrying things in their hands and carrying masonry and wood on their shoulders. Even half-grown children were doing what they could.

And all the destinations are so unified.

city ​​wall.

This picture of a city full of people united in unity surprised Yutian. In the imperial court's historical reports on the city's defense against enemy troops, the common people always used panic, or even being defeated by the defending army and horses as excuses and reasons for defeat or various defeats. blow

However, Yu Tian did not see the things mentioned in the military reports in Kaifeng City.

Even in the rainy fields, you can sometimes see those green-robed officials, carrying things on their hands and shoulders, and leading the common people to carry all the useful defensive materials to the city wall.

The whole city is united, which is certainly surprising.

But at this moment, Yu Tian felt no emotion at all sighing at this scene, and it even got worse.

Yu Tian let out a sad and feeble sob in his throat, shook his hands forward, and fell limply to the ground.

The emperor's grandson disappeared early in the morning and has never been found. And those damn rebels from Henan Dao have arrived outside Kaifeng City. At this time, the city can still be united and fight against the enemy together with the same hatred.

That was because officials from all over the city showed up and led the people to defend the city. It was also because the people in the city knew that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun of the Ming Dynasty was also in Kaifeng City, and they were both inside the city wall. blow

What would the officials think if they knew that the emperor's grandson was missing? What would the people think if they knew it too.

Yutian really didn't dare to think about it.

He has not yet begun, or has just begun his career as an internal official in the Ming Dynasty and the twenty-four yamen. He may face death because of the loss of His Highness the Emperor Taisun, or he may be assigned to guard the imperial mausoleum in Zhongdu. The end.

But even if I want to die, I still have to find His Highness the Emperor Taisun!

After thinking through all the possibilities, Yutian gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground. He was about to go into the courtyard to gather people and go to find His Highness the Emperor Taisun himself. He saw the young chamberlain in the courtyard and the guards from Prince Zhou's palace. He didn't know when they had arrived. It's outside.

Yutian coughed lightly, and said without blushing or heartbeat: "Let the Za family continue to look for His Highness!"

Everyone also knew that this person who was in charge of Taisun Mansion in Beijing would be the head of the twenty-four yamen of the Ming Dynasty if everything went well in the future. What was the source of the anxiety and uneasiness in their hearts at this moment. blow

Following Yutian's order, everyone followed him out.



On the west city wall of Kaifeng.

This side faces the most enemies. More than 20,000 rebels, thieves, troops and horses from Luoyang City, Henan Prefecture, have all arrived.

….

With the participation of officers and soldiers from the Henan Prefecture's Tuntian Guards Station, this rebel team has the same basic military force composition as the Ming Dynasty, and all the corresponding siege equipment is complete.

Even the officials of various yamen on the west city wall, as well as the generals commanding the yamen, could see these rebel thieves coming from Luoyang City, and even the artillery at the top of Luoyang City was brought over.

The heavy and old city-defending artillery was mounted on the frame by the rebels, and the wheels were deeply sunk into the soil. blow

At a glance, one could tell that they were siege weapons such as the Divine Fire Flying Crow, the Swarm of Bees, the Divine Machine Arrow, etc. that were brought out from the armory of Luoyang City. There are also aerial ladders, Wugang carts and other defensive and climbing equipment.

On the city wall, there are still only officers from various government offices in Kaifeng City and servants from large families who guard the city wall.

City power.

The left-behind generals from the Dusi Yamen were distributed on the city wall to supervise the officers and servants on the city wall.

Although the military formation outside the city was impressive, one could faintly hear the slogans shouted by the rebels to capture the emperor's grandson alive.

There was still silence on the west wall.

And in the city gate tower.

Pei Benzhi, the new governor of Henan Province, looked at the rebels who finally arrived under the city wall with a silent expression. blow

In front of him is a simple and ancient guqin, which is rumored to be inherited from the Western Han Dynasty.

This was specially sent to a wealthy family in the city after hearing that their old father and mother, Pei Fangbo from Henan Province, was going to play a heartbreaking song for the rebels at the city gate today.

But Pei Benzhi didn't move his fingers at the moment.

In front of him were several government officials who had just arrived.

"Master Pei, we still haven't found His Highness the Grand Sun..."

The officer who was delivering the message raised his head, looked at the chief envoy with a gloomy expression, and continued: "My subordinates went to the villa where His Highness lived. When they saw that the courtyard door was ajar, they pushed the door open and went to the courtyard. not see……"

Pei Benzhi flicked the strings with his index finger, and a buzzing sound came from the city gate tower. blow

He opened his mouth and whispered, "Do all the government offices know about it?"

The officer replied: "Today, the military and horse spies have been reporting back to the city to report the situation of the rebels. The governor's office has no time to take care of it. The inspector's office is guarding the city and something has happened. The prefect's office is urging the people in the city to defend Kaifeng, but they are not aware of it."

Pei Benzhi's fingers flicked on the guqin again.

The clear sound of the piano floats from the top of the city to the wilderness outside the city.

The officer pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sir, isn't it the subordinates... could it be that His Highness and the others have already..."

"presumptuous!"

Guqin was angry. blow

Pei Benzhi's eyes suddenly darkened, his face as cold as snow, and he looked at the guard who was talking: "If you don't know how to speak, then talk less!"

The officer tensed up and lowered his head: "I am guilty."

Pei Benzhi waved his hand and felt inexplicably irritated: "The people from Prince Zhou's Palace went to Bieyuan today, and the manager of Taisun Palace also showed up. You just have to look for them again. No matter who you find, bring them over."

The officers thought they would be punished, but when they saw Pei Benzhi waving his hands away, they left immediately.

Pei Benzhi raised his head and looked outside the city. The rebels coming from the direction of Luoyang City in Henan Prefecture were getting closer and closer, and his expression became more solemn.

….

At this time, city guards also rushed over from the direction of the city wall leading to the South City and North City.

"Report!" Blow

"The rebels from Runing, Xuzhou, and Chenzhou have arrived outside the south city and are dividing their forces to surround the east city."

"Report!"

"Report!"

"The rebels from the direction of Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion have crossed the river and are forming formation in the direction of North City. They are dividing their forces in East City with the intention of encircling Kaifeng City."

"Report!"

"The rebels outside the city have formed their formation."

When the watchmen on the west city wall also shouted. blow

The atmosphere of war instantly enveloped the entire city of Kaifeng.

Pei Benzhi glanced at the deputy commander of the Henan Province who was standing behind the city wall and supervising the battle.

He clapped his hands on the guqin, showing off his sharp edge, and said in a deep voice: "The rebels are no match for thieves. Now I am Kaifeng City, and the people are in the city!"

The deputy capital commander's eyes sank, and he immediately drew his sword and roared towards the left and right sides of the city wall: "Everyone is in the city!"

"People are in the city!"

"People are in the city!"

Pei Benzhi looked silent and shouted again: "The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty!"

Each cannon was stuffed with powder and projectiles.

A swarm of bees was lifted high, and the dense holes faced the rebel formation under the city wall.

Rolling stones and wooden trees are just behind the stampede of the city wall, and they pass by the city wall one by one.

The large iron pot donated by the people in the middle of the country is steaming the golden juice that is already boiling under the action of the fire.

Outside the city, the rebel army formation encircling Kaifeng City from Luoyang City has begun to roll out Wugang chariots with vertical shields in front, covering the rebels behind as they approach the city wall.

On both sides of the military formation, the artillery that had been removed from the Luoyang city wall faced the Kaifeng city wall in an angled formation. blow

A roar sounded without preparation.

Thick smoke suddenly filled the outside of the city.

And those projectiles rushed deep into the city wall, or stuck to the top of the city wall, flew over the city wall and landed on the houses in the city.

The war started without any preparation.

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, Pei Benzhi looked indifferent and danced on the guqin with his hands.

From the moment the first string trembled, the sound of the piano on the city wall was like a sharp blade, passing over the city wall and hitting the heads of the rebels outside the city.

Thanks to Zhu Shangbing's friendship and contribution, two huge brass loudspeakers were placed on the left and right sides when Pei Benzhi started playing. blow

The sound of swords and pianos, under the roar of artillery fire, penetrated into the ears of the rebels under the city wall like a ghost.

The rebels had already hung the climbing ladders on the city wall. Under the cover of artillery fire, the defenders on the top of the city were unable to knock down all the ladders.

However, the sound of the piano that was like a ghost in the ears of the rebels was like a needle that calms the sea in the ears of the soldiers who captured the city.

The chief envoy of Henan Province is with them at the top of the city, so there is nothing to fear.

Countless rolling logs and rocks that were torn down from the homes of the people in the city were thrown at the city wall, knocking down the rebels one by one.

The golden soup that had been boiling for a long time poured out from the drainage hole, causing a large number of screams outside the city wall every time.

Winter winter winter. blow

Several arrows with thick smoke penetrated deeply into the door panel of the city gate tower, right in the corner of Pei Ben's sight, who was playing the piano.

….

It was a swarm of bows and arrows used by the rebels.

Pei Benzhi was calm and motionless, and his playing never missed a beat. However, it made the several chief envoys and yamen servants holding shields in front of him feel frightened for a while.

"Uncle Pei Fang, you'd better go down to the city wall first."

The chief of the third squad of the Chief Envoy Si Yamen held a shield to block the flying arrows shot from under the city wall. He turned back to Pei Benzhi with nervous eyes to persuade him.

Pei Benzhi turned a deaf ear and just played the guqin, which was indeed inherited from the Western Han Dynasty.

Under the west city wall, for fear that the rebels would attack the city and injure the people, the uninhabited houses that had been cleared out early were now covered with full-body armor and stomachs. Even the face armor had been put down, leaving only the two exposed. Officers and soldiers with only black holes in their eyes. blow

Each man was led by a war horse that was also armored.

On the city wall near Chi Chi and outside the city, the sound of killing was loud, and the sound of artillery fire covered everything up.

But in these houses, silence has always been maintained.

The war horse, whose ears were stuffed with cotton, still seemed to be able to feel the atmosphere of war. It shook its neck restlessly from time to time, and the horse's hooves kicked the ground eagerly, making a sound.

In a house closest to the city gate.

Among the rebels outside the city, Tang Bi, the commander of the Yulin Guards of the Shangzhi Qin Army, who had left Kaifeng City long ago, was wearing an armor that was the same as the soldiers under his command, but the visor on his helmet had not been lowered.

Tang Bi held a spear that had followed him in the north and south for many years. blow

The long spear is covered with vicissitudes of life, and countless battle scars silently tell of past achievements.

The sound of iron armor came from outside the hospital.

In a flash, several officers and soldiers walked in and came to Tang Bi.

"Reporting to the commander, all the rebels from the direction of Luoyang City outside the city have devoted themselves to attacking the city."

"The rebels coming from the South City and North City are also attacking the city and are supporting our troops in the West City."

Tang Bi nodded silently,

He hummed: "Where is the direction of Dongcheng?"

The officers and soldiers who rushed back replied: "It has been found that there are more than 3,000 rebels and thieves outside the East City. They have not attacked the city. It seems that they are planning to encircle three and one of them. When our army is defeated, they will come out from the East City and then strangle them." ."blow

Tang Bi's eyes were deep: "In order to lure the rebels from Henan Province, all the troops have been keeping a distance from the rebels for three days. If the rebels know this, they will use all means to invade Kaifeng City in these three days."

The deputy general of the Yulin Guards on the side said: "As long as the Luoyang City rebels outside the West City are wiped out, the enemy army will be insignificant. As long as our troops charge a few times, they will fall apart."

Tang Bi nodded: "This is also the reason why I changed the strategy of defending the city. As long as the arrogance of the rebels in Luoyang City is broken, Kaifeng City will not be in half danger!"

At this time, Tang Bi didn't know that His Highness the Emperor Taisun had been escorted out of the city. What I was thinking about was how to use the safest method to protect the safety of the emperor's grandson and Kaifeng City.

Peng Peng Peng.

The muffled sounds of several heavy objects falling to the ground came from outside the courtyard wall.

Some officers and soldiers walked out of the yard and came back after a while. blow

"Reporting to the commander, a small group of rebels rushed up the city wall and fell into the city."

….

Tang Bi frowned, and with a bang, he waved his hand and put down the mask.

"Follow me and fight out of the city!"

After a sound, Tang Bi had already raised his gun and mounted his horse.

The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards mounted their horses one after another, and the officers and soldiers guarding the courtyard wall pulled away the diagonal pole supporting the loose courtyard wall.

Wall after wall collapsed.

"Kill!" Blow

Tang Bi shouted coldly.

The messengers had already taken the lead in riding out to deliver military orders to the city gate.

There was also a whimpering sound of horns in the courtyard.

In an instant, countless courtyard walls collapsed, and the sound of horse hooves sounded like streams in the mountain stream, constantly gathering together, and finally became a great river that never stopped flowing.

When Tang Bi dragged his spear and rushed into the city gate before the torrent of horses, the city gate had been completely opened.

He took the lead, dragging his spear, and rushed into the rebels under the city gate, both men and horses.

Outside the city, the rebels who had originally failed to enter the city saw the city gate suddenly open and swarmed under the city gate for no apparent reason. blow

Tang Bi, who was originally flying like a horse, seemed to have hit an iron plate as soon as he entered the enemy group. He could only keep waving the spear in his hand and slicing the necks and cheeks of the rebels around the horse with the blade of the spear.

In the city gate hole, there was a burst of sound of horse hooves. Thousands of horsemen released their speed at the same time. The roar was like thunder in the city gate hole.

When the groups of Yulin Guards rushed out of the city gate, the rebels who were originally like iron suddenly became like a piece of soft tofu.

With just a gust of wind, the rebels crowded under the city gate were knocked down in pieces in front of the horses of the Yulin Guards, as if they were being cut grass.

When all the rebels in front of the city gate were slaughtered, the remaining ones fled in fear.

Tang Bi was already leading his men, pointing their guns at the rebel formation outside the city.

"Habayashi Wei!"

"Charge!"

The general who commands thousands of armies exudes a heroic aura like no other.

More than 5,000 Yulin Guard officers and soldiers, led by Tang Bi, rushed toward the rebels' main line outside the city with gunpowder smoke and murderous intent like a sharp blade that had been repeatedly polished to the point that it could break as soon as hair fell and break the sticker.

More than five thousand elite cavalry rushed out from behind the city gate and appeared in the sight of the Luoyang City rebels outside the west city of Kaifeng City, causing an instant commotion and panic.

The rebel leaders had imagined that there would be an ambush in Kaifeng City as cover, but how could they have imagined that there would be so many cavalry hidden in Kaifeng City.

Looking at this group of cavalry who were armed to the teeth, the rebels couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

Probably, like all rebels, they will naturally be afraid when facing the elite army of the imperial court. blow

The rebels outside the city began to react.

The Wugang chariot in front of the military formation was hurriedly

On the way to the Yulin Guards' charge, spearmen and a small number of gun soldiers were also transferred.

Tang Bi had no fear, this was a charge that broke the formation.

As long as they penetrate the rebel formation, the Habayashi Guards' training will make everyone know what they should do.

The war horse hit Wu Gang's cart heavily, and the spear pierced the chest of the war horse.

The officers and soldiers of the Yulin Guards who were blocked gave up their war horses and crossed the obstruction with Yanling knives in hand to clear the way for the friendly troops in the rear.

Every moment, countless people fall. blow

Blood flowed all over the ground, staining the sky and earth red.

The air became scorched and bloody, but no one cared or commented.

A hunting eagle was hovering over Kaifeng Mansion. In the eagle's eyes, the colorful earth is constantly being invaded by blood-red color.

The huge city of Kaifeng was raging with war on its north, south, and west sides.

Silence belongs exclusively to the east of Kaifeng City.

Behind Gaogang, thousands of rebels were watching the closed east gate of Kaifeng City with some anticipation and some uneasiness.

On the official road in the distance, a cavalry team of thousands of people in spindle formation was moving towards Kaifeng City at a constant speed. blow

Trumpets sounded among the rebels.

Any military horse that attempts to enter or leave the east gate of Kaifeng City is under the military command of this rebel army.

"Sure enough, the rebel thieves in Henan Road know that there is not much time left for them."

Zhu Yunxi, who had been protected by heavy cavalry in the middle of the formation, arrived in front of the formation after seeing the defenders on the Kaifeng city wall.

Ma Hongqing, the Qianhuguan of the Beijing Army's Majun Camp, lightly waved his spear and smiled coldly.

"At the end of the day, the general observed that there were more than three thousand rebels and one thousand of our troops."

"Our troops can wipe out all the enemy troops!" Fuki
