Chapter 50 Raising troops
It was not peaceful outside the city at night. In the camp, Tong Jingwu learned from an informant that Pei Huai'an was blind, and immediately discussed countermeasures with several uncles, planning to take a surprise attack and send troops into the capital at dawn.

The Tong family has strong military power, and Tong Xiangming is unconscious. It is not an option to continue like this. Reinforcements from the court will arrive in the future, and the chance of victory will be even less.

The matter was thus settled.

In the early morning of the next day, when the curfew was approaching, Tong's family quietly moved troops to approach the capital at night. How could the imperial court not take precautions, and spies entered the palace to report to Yu Wende.

Inside the Qianqing Palace.

The emperor on the bed sat up, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a sneer in the corner of his mouth: "It's finally about to start."

He asked the secret guard: "How are Zhang Meng and Cao Yucheng prepared?"

The dark guard was dressed in black tights, knelt on one knee on the cold floor and replied: "Master Zhangmeng led [-] soldiers to guard the east gate, the [-] battalion led [-] soldiers to guard the west gate, and Cao Yucheng led [-] soldiers to guard the west gate." At the north gate, Wei Fu led ten thousand soldiers to guard the south gate."

"There are still [-] soldiers waiting around the palace as a line of defense."

There was no emotion in his voice, and he reported coldly.

Yu Wende said calmly and calmly: "The order continues, if they dare to approach the capital five kilometers away, they will be killed, and they don't have to wait until they enter the city."

"Yes." The dark guard ordered him to retreat.

The emperor was no longer sleepy and called the eunuch to come in and get dressed.

The Tong family dared to be so presumptuous, the news must have spread that Pei Huai'an was blinded by poison.

The imperial court's [-] reinforcements will arrive the day after tomorrow, and the Tong family will also transfer troops back to Beijing, and another [-] troops will arrive the day after tomorrow.

The courtiers have too much power, they don't even know that they are courtiers, and they still want to rebel, haha.

Without Pei Huai'an, I can do the same.

Shi Sha is a middle-aged man in his fifties, tall and tall, with stubble on his face, thick eyebrows, and a pair of fierce eyes that are often murderous. Living abroad, he embarked on a dangerous road in pursuit of a windfall.

Later, he was captured by Dongchang and kept in a dark prison.

Now that he was rescued, he had strong martial arts skills and wanted to kill everyone in the court.

He and the Tong family formulated a plan to invade the east and attack the west. They sent [-] troops to each city gate to attack. Among them, the east gate was the gate closest to the palace, and [-] troops were concentrated to attack.

There are also thousands of hidden pillars hidden by the Tong family in the city.

Shisha and several generals are brave and experienced in fighting, and they are sure to enter the palace.

A bloody storm quietly broke out.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already been prepared with archers, and Zhang Meng was guarding the east gate. When he saw the dark soldiers approaching, he shouted: "The emperor has a decree, and no one will be punished. You are all the people of Dayin, and you should be Defend the family and the country, rather than follow the Tong family in rebellion."

Tong Jingwu followed his father on the battlefield since he was a child. He has the air of a general, and he has a way of comforting people. He said: "My father has fought for the country for decades, and now he has ended up in an uncertain end. Yu Wende caused it. He poisoned my father because my father had too much military power, this kind of person is not worthy of being a king, and you soldiers must seek justice for my father and kill me."

After he finished speaking, he rode on horseback and took the lead in killing them.

Tong Jingwu's cronies were the first to follow, and then the soldiers.

Zhang Meng's eyes turned cold, and he said loudly, "Fire the arrow."

Arrows and bamboos rained down on the attacking soldiers.

However, they seemed to have been prepared and picked up their shields to block it.In the early years, the Tong family went to find Master Gongshu and improved their armor, but even sharp arrows could not penetrate the armor.

Repeated victories on the battlefield only fattened up the courage of the Tong family.

Archery didn't seem to do much harm to these people, and soon they were in front of them, fighting with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

The soldiers of Tong's family gained the upper hand with their armor and killed the soldiers and horses of the imperial court by surprise. In addition, thousands of hidden piles in the city were suddenly exposed, and they rushed towards the east gate. fortress.

Zhang Meng was so angry that he went to fight personally to meet his opponent, Shi Sha.

The two played evenly.

The east city gate was occupied, Zhangmeng was still fighting, until someone came and shouted: "Master Zhang, our people are seriously injured, this place is not safe, can we retreat?"

The retreat route in the back is gradually cut off, and if you don't go further, it will be a dead end.

Zhang Meng slashed at Shi Sha with a knife, the opponent blocked it with Guan Gong knife, he backed up, and retreated a dozen steps away with light work, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he wanted to fight.

The person next to him grabbed him and said, "Master Zhang, look around."

Surrounded by soldiers and horses of the Tong family, Zhang Meng's eyes were even more murderous. He was actually defeated. How could he explain to the emperor? Retreat, I don't know what happened to the other three city gates."

He suppressed his anger, nodded, and quickly stepped back.

Finally Jingwu walked to the side of Shisha and said, "Why don't you chase him down?"

Shi Sha put away the Guan Gong Saber and replied: "This man is not easy to kill. I don't want to waste time on him. I can kill a hundred people with the effort of fighting with him. Why bother? It's better if he leaves." , we lead our troops straight into the palace, that is our focus."

Tong Jingwu immediately gathered [-] soldiers and horses, and set off to the palace in a mighty way.

The war came suddenly, many people hid one after another, and the bustling market in the past was now empty.

After the Tong family broke through Shengjing, the first thing they did was to go straight to the palace and take the emperor's head. They didn't have time to burn, kill and loot the people. After all, if they want to sit on the throne in the future, they need the support of the people.

Along the way, many soldiers and horses of the imperial court came to stop them, and the fighting was fierce.

After Zhang Meng escaped in embarrassment, on the way to the palace, he met Cao Yucheng who was in the same embarrassment. Beicheng also fell, and he asked, "Beicheng also fell?"

I originally asked suspiciously, but got Cao Yucheng's answer: "Yes."

He wanted to die already.

The two people returned to the palace to face the saint with very unkind expressions.

In the imperial study room, Yu Wende's eyes were gloomy and he said in a cold voice: "How can we lose control if we are doing well?"

Zhang Meng explained about the armor, and said: "There is already an internal response from the Tong family in the city, which caught us off guard."

Because of the battle, his robe was damaged, a few strands of temple hair fell out, and his arm was injured.

Cao Yucheng was in a similar condition, with more injuries than him.

Yu Wende looked at Dachun at the side, and asked, "How about the other city gates?"

The eunuch Dachun respectfully reported: "The spies reported that the commander of the [-] Battalion has been killed. The west gate guarded by Xue Kangshi, the deputy commander, has not been captured yet and can still be blocked. The south gate guarded by Dongchang Wei is not easily captured. Breaking through, still resisting."

After hearing this, the emperor's face became better.

Then asked: "Where are those people who came in?"

Dachun continued: "Tong Jingwu, Shi Sha, and Tong Kuan are heading towards the palace. Two quarters of an hour has passed, and the spies haven't come to report yet."
