However, Li Hao then thought about it, if Rong Xian really got the edict of passing the throne, King Yan should be here at this time.
So Li Hao didn't argue with Rong Xian, and just asked people to set off two fireworks to see if anyone in the palace responded.
After Li Hao's fireworks took off, everyone looked towards the direction of Funing Hall, waiting for a response.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, they saw the same two fireworks in the palace rising into the sky, which made Li Hao and Song Chaozhong put down their worries.
At this time, Rong Xian on top of the city still wanted to argue, but Li Hao was unwilling to talk nonsense with Rong Xian anymore.
He directly said to the Song Dynasty: "Since King Yan and Rongxian don't want to be captured without mercy, let's not waste time and prepare to attack the city."
Song Chaozhong agreed: "Okay, I will bring the ladder with me this time. After letting the soldiers rest for a while, I will start to attack the city."
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "After all, the number of rebels is not large. In order to attack as quickly as possible, we will disperse their forces.
Xihua Gate will be handed over to Commander Song. I will join the other troops in a moment and besiege Donghua Gate, Gongchen Gate, Xuande Gate, and the left and right gates together.
No matter which group of people breaks through the city gate first, the first priority after breaking through the gate is to go directly to Funing Palace to relieve the danger of the official family. "
Song Chaozhong replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will attack the city with all my strength and rush to protect the safety of the officials and their families as soon as possible."
After receiving a positive reply from the Song Dynasty, Li Hao took the imperial camp troops to Xuandemen and sent out several scouts at the same time.
He went all the way to find the fire brigade in Bianjing City and requisitioned their ladders for siege purposes.
The other way is to inform Yang Wenyuan and ask him to separate two more troops from the reinforcements to Donghua Gate and Gongchen Gate, and then bring the other troops to Xuande Gate to meet him.
On the way Li Hao turned around, Cao Zhen asked: "Why did your Excellency let Song Chaozhong attack Xihua Gate, which is the closest to Funing Palace? If we let him enter the palace first, wouldn't we lose the opportunity to the officials?" "
After hearing this, Li Hao replied: "It is because Xihua Gate is closest to Funing Hall and closest to the western suburbs camp, so it is the most difficult to attack.
Rong Xian was not a fool, so he would naturally deploy heavy troops there, and let the Song Dynasty gnaw on the hard bones.
And since I am the leader in leading the troops to put down the rebellion this time, no matter who attacks the imperial city first, our credit will not be lost. "
Then I thought about it and realized that I could tell others what I said, so I added, "If you ask someone to go to Yang Wenyuan again, just tell them that things are going well in Song Dynasty, so that they can be more active."
After Cao Zhen heard the order, he immediately sent a herald to deliver the news.
Rong Xian, who was at Xihua Gate, knew something was wrong when he saw Li Hao leading a troop of soldiers and horses alone and leaving the team, turning to the direction of Xuande Gate.
You must know that there are not many soldiers in the palace. Nowadays, many of Xihuamen's troops are transferred from outside Funing Palace, and there are even fewer soldiers guarding the other palace gates.
Now that he is dragged here by the Song Dynasty, other city gates must not be able to take care of him.
So he hurriedly sent someone to notify King Yan, asking him to attack Funing Palace as soon as possible and arrest Zhao Zhen. Otherwise, when Li Hao and the others stormed into the imperial city, the matter would be over.
….
Of course, although King Yan was still not clear about the specific situation outside at this time, he watched the fireworks being launched one after another outside the palace and inside Funing Hall.
King Yan also knew that something was probably not going well, and although he could not hear clearly what was said in Funing Hall amidst the sounds of fighting on both sides, King Yan could still hear the happy cheers clearly.
The source of this cheer was Gu Tingye shouting in the palace: "Our reinforcements are already outside the palace, did you see the fireworks just now!
That is the signal for our reinforcements to attack the imperial city. Just hold on, the rebels will soon be doomed. "
After shouting, Gu Tingye let the original words spread throughout the four palace walls. Everyone knew that victory was coming, and the soldiers of the imperial camp immediately fought harder.
Then Gu Tingye entered the palace and announced the good news to Zhao Zhen: "The fireworks just launched outside the palace
, is the signal from the Imperial Army. I guess Master Li is now outside Xihua Gate.
I think all the rebels in the city have been cleared away, so the officials can rest assured now.
The rebels in Funing Hall will not be able to attack for a while. When Master Li and others attack the imperial city, we will be safe. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen felt a little relieved, but he couldn't really relax until the matter was settled.
At this time, King Yan also learned about the critical situation from the people sent by Rongxian to inform him.
So he put aside his last concern. Originally, King Yan had plans to use Ning Yuanhou, the powerful prince, in the future, and did not want to completely break his face.
So even though I killed the others, I didn't touch Mrs. Xiao Qin. But now that we're in this situation, it's either you or I who will die.
So when this wave of attacks ended and there was a gap in the middle, King Yan ordered people to drag Lady Xiao Qin out. At this time, Lady Xiao Qin also knew that something was wrong.
So she begged Gu Tingye loudly to save her and begged King Yan for mercy, but no one on either side cared about her.
After the people arrived, King Yan shouted: "Gu Tingye, I will give you one last chance. I will count dozens if you are willing to open the palace door.
After I become the emperor, I will definitely give you a higher rank, a title, a title, and a title of prime minister, and I will give you a lifetime of glory and wealth.
But if you still resist, collect your mother's body now. And if I succeed, I will kill your entire Gu family. "
Gu Tingye walked out of the main hall of Funing Palace at this time and said to Mrs. Xiao Qin through the palace door: "Since ancient times, it is difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. For the sake of the country, as a son, I really have no other choice. Mother, please don't blame me."
After hearing Gu Tingye's words, Xiao Qin could no longer hold back the fear in her heart and had no intention of playing the role of a good mother again. Instead, she yelled at Gu Tingye, saying that he was so cruel that he wanted to kill her.
After hearing these words, Gu Tingye said: "Mother, I know you are like this so that I can be cruel and leave you alone.
Don't worry, I understand your thoughts. I, the son of the Gu family, will naturally be loyal to the country. "
After finishing speaking, he said to King Yan: "King Yan, now that you are defeated, I advise you to surrender and let my mother go.
Even if you don't do it for yourself, you must do it for your wife, children, and children, and for the sake of these soldiers, so that they can save their lives. "
….
After saying that, Gu Tingye also invited Zhao Zhen out and asked him to say: "All officers and men, I am the emperor of the dynasty.
I hereby promise that this time I will only kill the first culprit and leave the rest alone! From this moment on, those who do not follow the disobedience will be meritorious and blameless. "
Then Gu Tingye had people spread Zhao Zhen's words throughout the palace walls.
After hearing these words, King Yan felt that everyone outside seemed to be relaxed, so he said: "Do you really dare to believe what he said? Thinking about how many people you have killed in the imperial city today, do you still expect him to be able to kill you?" Let you go?
Now you have only one way, fight in. When the king ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, you will all be the heroes of Conglong. "
After saying that, he didn't even need to count, and directly pulled Madam Xiao Qin out, personally chopped off her head, and threw her into the Funing Palace.
Then they attacked again, this time it was a real fight to the death. King Yan sent everyone in at once.
As for being in the palace, Gu Tingye looked at the head of Mrs. Qin's wife and was really in a daze for a moment.
Maybe after knowing the truth, Gu Tingye was really disgusted and resentful towards her, but seeing her die in front of him today, he still seemed a little sad.
After all, she had hurt him for more than ten years. Although she was pretending, Gu Tingye also had true feelings.
Zhao Zhen, who was beside Gu Tingye, saw this situation and comforted him: "People cannot be resurrected, so you should mourn and obey. Your mother died for the country, and I will give her a grand burial."
After hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Gu Tingye came to his senses and wanted to thank him for the grace.
Just at this time, the rebels once again besieged Funing Palace.
Tingye then followed his thoughts and went out to command the troops to resist. When the battle became fierce, Gu Tingye had to go into battle himself with a long sword.
While the fighting in Funing Palace was fierce, Li Hao had already joined the reinforcements brought by Yang Wenyuan outside Xuande Gate.
The men who came with Yang Wenyuan were the Dragon Guards led by Bi Zhongyou. After seeing Bi Zhongyou and Yang Wenyuan again, Li Hao said: "Over at Xihua Gate, the Divine Guards have begun to attack the city.
And King Yan has probably got the news and is probably making a last ditch effort, so now we need to compete with them for this time.
I have already had the ladders used to siege the city brought over. I don’t know when the Dragon Guards will be able to join the battle. "
After hearing this, Bi Zhongyou said: "You can do it at any time. Traveling this small distance will not affect the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard."
After hearing this, Li Hao said: "Okay, in that case, let's start now.
It just so happens that this city is divided into three gates, so the Dragon Guards will divide their troops to attack the left and right gates, and our imperial army will directly attack Xuande Gate.
After breaking the door, don't worry about the other two sides and go directly to Funing Hall to relieve the officials. "
Bi Zhongyou agreed: "Okay, then I will go to Youyemen. I will ask the deputy general to take people to Zuoyemen. I also ask Commander Li to send us the ladder."
Li Hao immediately ordered a part of the ladder to be separated and let them take it away directly.
After they left, Yang Wenyuan said: "Then let's start attacking the city and go in early to rescue the officials."
Li Hao replied: "What's the rush? We'll wait until they arrive at their location."
….
Hearing Li Hao's words, Yang Wenyuan said in confusion: "Why are we waiting for them?"
Li Hao explained: "You are attacking the city now, and everyone is here.
When they are in place, the rebels will divide their forces. Won't it be easier to fight then? Let's prepare people now.
After seeing the separation of people and horses on the city, attack again, and then try to capture the city in one go. "
After speaking, Li Hao asked Cao Zhen: "By the way, have you brought all the secret weapons we originally studied?"
Cao Zhen replied: "I brought all the smoke bombs prepared for the Wuyou Cave last time, but such an open place is of little use."
Li Hao said: "I don't expect them to kill all the people, as long as they can be smoked outside the city in a short time.
At that time, let our people rush up at the same time. As long as the city head is defended and there is a steady stream of follow-up troops, the city gate will be breached. "
After hearing this, Cao Zhen understood and said, "Okay, then I will prepare now. When we attack the city, I will throw all the smoke bombs I made last time."
After saying that, he went down to make arrangements, and Yang Wenyuan also went to organize the ladders. He only waited for an order to approach the city wall and start attacking the city.
Soon Li Hao got a report that the soldiers and horses at Xuande Gate began to divert. After the troops supporting the left and right Ye gates had gone away, Li Hao ordered an attack.
So the imperial camp troops took up the ladders and climbed to the top of the city from all directions.
Of course, the city was also tightly guarded. Every eight soldiers held a large log, ready to push the ladder away from the city wall.
At this time, the smoke bomb that Cao Zhen had prepared for a long time was launched from the rear through the prepared launcher towards the city head.
This launcher was originally a smaller version made by Li Hao and his craftsmen using the trebuchet principle, but its accuracy was not particularly high after all.
So in the end, not all the smoke bombs successfully landed on the top of the city, and many of them crossed the top of the city and fell into the palace.
A few even fell into the imperial camp's formation, causing a small commotion.
But the flaws were not concealed. The smoke bombs that landed on the city quickly smoked the rebels to pieces. After being blown away by the wind, before they could recover, the vanguard of the Imperial Army had already climbed up the city wall. .
Afterwards, the people who climbed onto the city wall asked
Rush forward to expand the area and allow the subsequent Imperial Army to have a position to come up.
Of course, the rebels also rushed over, trying to drive away the imperial army.
However, as the number of imperial soldiers and horses on the city wall continued to increase, the rebels failed to suppress the imperial army. Instead, they were beaten back continuously.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao knew that the rebels could no longer hold Xuande Gate, and he would soon be able to open the gate.
At this time, after Cao Zhen commanded the men and horses who launched the smoke grenades, he ran back and said, "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. We attacked them all at once. It seems that these rebels are not that good."
Li Hao said: "You can't say that. First of all, our smoke popped up unexpectedly and made them defenseless.
Secondly, they don't have bows and arrows, which is also a big reason. Although the palace guards do not have many bows and arrows, it is not normal to not see any here.
….
It seems that they were all taken to Xihua Gate. It is estimated that the losses of the Divine Guards this time will not be small. "
Of course, Li Hao just sighed. As the battle at the top of the city went smoothly, the imperial army quickly followed the stairs to the city gate and opened the Xuande Gate.
Seeing this situation, Li Hao gave an order and led a large group of people straight into the palace, and then went to the You Changqing Gate to go to the harem through the You Changqing Gate.
Along the way, he also helped Bi Zhongyou open the Youye Gate. In front of the Youchangqing Gate, Li Hao's attack was blocked again.
However, this palace gate is different from Xuande Gate. If there is no heavy object deliberately blocking the back, it can be opened directly with wood.
So Li Hao ordered his people to tear down the two pillars, brought them in and started banging on the door.
While waiting to open the You Changqing Gate, Bi Zhongyou ran over first with his bodyguards.
When he arrived next to Li Hao, he said, "I didn't expect that the soldiers of the imperial camp were so brave and could break the city so quickly. Mr. Li really led the troops well."
Li Hao said modestly: "Wherever, the Dragon Guards are also quite elite. Even without the help of the imperial army, they will attack quickly."
Before he could say a few words, the Changqing Gate on the right was knocked open, so Li Hao did not dare to delay and said directly: "Let's leave quickly, it's important to save the driver."
After passing through the Youchangqing Gate, Li Hao discussed with Bi Zhongyou when he saw that the palace gate in front was locked.
Divide the imperial camp army and the Longwei army into three groups and attack the Funing Hall from Huangyi Gate, Huangyi Hall, Chui Gong Hall Gate, Chui Gong Hall, Zichen Hall Gate, and Zichen Hall.
In addition, Li Hao knew that Song Chaozhong must still be blocked from the Xihua Gate before he saw any troops from the Divine Guards when he arrived, so he sent another group of troops to beat the Xihua Gate and let Song Chaozhong in.
By the way, they blocked the way into the palace and surrounded Rongxian in the Xihua Gate so that he could be captured and prevent him from escaping.
Of course, in the end, Li Hao did not forget to save the noble family members who were imprisoned by Concubine Rong, so he called Yang Wenyuan over and said, "Concubine Rong must have been involved in today's rebellion. You and some people should go to Baoci Hall quickly. Rescue the noble family members who entered the palace for a banquet.
Especially the family records of those in our camp, go and have a look, and then come back and tell me the news. "
After listening to Li Hao's words, Yang Wenyuan understood the meaning immediately and did not dare to delay. He quickly ordered a battalion of people and led them to Baoci Palace.
After arranging all this, Li Hao passed through the Chui Gong Hall and prepared to see what the situation was like in the Funing Hall.
