Outside Linggu Temple in the middle of the night, Zhang Mingzhen led 3,000 dead soldiers of the Jiangbei Army to the foot of Zhongshan Mountain.At this time, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly waved his hand, and a large number of black shadows touched the Linggu Temple in the distance.In May, at night, insects chirped and frogs chirped, and several Han soldiers stood in front of the mountain gate with guns, chatting and being vigilant, completely unaware of the danger coming.In front of the mountain gate, black shadows stirred branches and weeds, the night wind blew the leaves and swayed, and the rustling sound concealed the sound of the movements of the soldiers of the Jiangbei Army.At this time, several crossbows, poking out of the grass, flashing arrows with cold light, aimed at the Han soldiers in front of the door, smoking and chatting.With a few "whoosh" sounds, sharp crossbow arrows pierced the night sky, and a Han sergeant covered his throat and fell to the ground.The Han soldiers, who were chatting, were shocked, and before they could react, the arrows rained down all over the sky."
Enemy attack!"
The Han soldiers in front of the mountain gate retreated to the mountain gate while waving their swords to block the arrows, leaving more than a dozen bodies outside."
Kill!"
Zhang Mingzhen pulled out his war knife and waved it angrily.The Jiangbei army, hiding in the shadows, held a bow and arrow in his hand, lit a rocket, and then wound the arrow and ripped the bowstring apart."
Whoosh" thousands of rockets soared into the air and fell into the temple, the arrows stuck in the wooden wall, landed on the roof, and ignited a fire in a moment.Thousands of Jiangbei troops suddenly let out a roar, grabbed their weapons and rushed to the mountain gate, smashed through the mountain gate, and the dense northern army poured into the Linggu Temple like a school of fish in the water.In an instant, the Jiangbei army and the Han army guards who lived in the temple were killed in the temple.Linggu Temple is a pure land of Buddhism, there are not many Han troops stationed, and the Jiangbei army that was invaded was defeated and retreated.Zhang Mingzhen rushed into the mountain gate, slashed down a Han soldier with a knife, and roared loudly: "The King of Han colluded with King Gui and wanted to rebel, kill me!"
”Nanjing, on the imperial city.Zhu Yihai looked in the direction of Linggu Temple, and the firelight flickered, reflecting half of the sky."
Burn it!"
Zhu Yihai showed a crazy look on his face, holding on to the wall.After suspecting that Zhao Ming had the tendency to take King Gui to blackmail him and support King Gui, Zhu Yihai made up his mind to get rid of Zhao Ming, the king of Han, and King Gui, the heir of the Ming legal system.Originally, Zhu Yihai decided to summon Zhao Ming, the king of Han, and Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, into the palace and ambush the two kings in the palace.However, Zhao Ming acted cautiously, probably premoniting the danger, saying that he was not sick, and Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, was also transferred to Linggu Temple.In this way, Zhu Yihai could only make up his mind, strike first, and let Zhang Mingzhen attack Linggu Temple, desperately bet, and solve the two kings.Although Zhao Ming's power is strong, but in the past year, the expansion of power has been too fast, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which have been collected in the past six months, and the people's hearts have not yet been attached, as long as Zhao Ming is killed, these soldiers and horses can be collected for their own use.As soon as Zhao Ming, the king of the Han Dynasty, and Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, died, the Han army had no banner, and there were fewer people who could command the whole army, and the rebellion could not succeed.At this time, just as Zhu Yihai was looking at Linggu Temple, inside and outside Nanjing, they had fallen into chaos because of the fire in the direction of Linggu Temple.All the departments of the Han army knew that Linggu Temple was the residence of the King of Han, and when they saw the fire in Linggu Temple, everyone was worried about the safety of King Han, and knew that it was going to be unfavorable to King Han, so they bombed the camp one after another."
The enemy is in Linggu Temple!"
The soldiers of the Han army in the city shouted loudly, and the streets were full of running soldiers.At this time, Zhu Yihai's tense face couldn't help but show a smile, and he looked at the Ming army camps outside the city, all of which were full of fire.But at this moment, Zhu Yihai's face changed suddenly, and he roared in horror: "No!
Hit the trick!
”Fang Fengnian on the side couldn't help but be stunned, shocked and frightened, "Your Majesty, why do you say this!"
”Jianwu Junchen, this time it is a desperate gamble, and there is no room for mistakes.Zhu Yihai only has one card left in his hand, and if he makes a mistake, he will lose completely.Zhang Huangyan also found the problem and exclaimed, "Linggu Temple caught fire, and the Han army did not go to the rescue, but came to the city."
Zhao Boan and King Gui must no longer be in Linggu Temple.Linggu Temple is a trap!
”Fang Fengnian was busy looking, and sure enough, he saw that among the camps of the Han army stationed outside the city, countless soldiers with torches poured out of the camp, like several fire dragons, rushing to the inner Guocheng, only one or two groups of people and horses, rushing to Linggu Temple.If Zhao Ming was in Linggu Temple, the Han army would definitely rush to Linggu Temple, and it would be impossible for them to flock to Nanjing.Fang Fengnian's legs were weak, his face was pale, and Zhu Yihai also stood on the spot, looking miserable.In the west wing of Linggu Temple, intelligence shows that at dusk, King Gui was taken to Linggu Temple by the Han army, and together with Zhao Ming, the king of Han, was stationed in the west wing.Zhang Mingzhen's sword stabbed into the abdomen of a Han soldier, pushed the body of the Han military captain, and slammed open the gate of the courtyard, and a large number of Jiangbei troops immediately poured in."
Search for me!"
Zhang Mingzhen roared with a bloody sword.The Jiangbei army violently kicked open the doors of each wing, but found that there was no one."
Your Highness, no trace of King Han has been found!"
A Jiangbei soldier, with his sword down, clenched his fists in return."
Your Highness, King Gui is not here!"
Another person reported it.Under the dim firelight, it was impossible to see Zhang Mingzhen's expression clearly, and at this moment, Ruan Jin burst in in and said urgently: "Your Highness, the big thing is not good, the Han army is going to the city." ”Zhang Mingzhen's face was gloomy, "I've been tricked!"
”Many generals looked panicked and didn't know what to do."
Quick, hurry back to the city and protect Your Majesty!"
Zhang Mingzhen yelled, turned around and left.The soldiers of the Jiangbei Army hurriedly withdrew from the temple, Zhang Mingzhen led Ruan Jin and other generals, and just came out of the mountain gate, but saw a large Han army with a torch to kill."
Put!"
As the first Han general, he rode on a horse and waved his sword and shouted.A group of musketeers, immediately lined up, raised their muskets and pulled the trigger."
Bang bang bang" burst into flames, and the Jiangbei Army in the lead was suddenly beaten to the ground like chaff."
Retire!
Go back!
”The panicked Jiangbei soldiers retreated into the mountain gate and hurriedly closed the mountain gate.At this time, the torch of the city piece appeared under the city of Nanjing, Li Chengdong rode on a horse, and shouted loudly, "Someone wants to rebel, follow the order of the King of Han and enter the city to protect the emperor!"
”There were less than 20,000 Jiangbei troops in the city, and it was impossible to garrison the entire city of Nanjing, and several city gates outside Nanjing were in the hands of the Han army.The city guards had already been instructed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to open the city gates.At this time, the Han soldiers pushed the heavy city gate, the city gate creaked open, and Li Chengdong suddenly waved his horse lance and shouted loudly, "Enter the city!"
”Outside the city, a group of Han soldiers with torches rushed into the door when the city gate was opened and the drawbridge fell.For a time, the dense Han soldiers and soldiers immediately poured into the urn city, and through the city gate, they ran to advance to the imperial city.()
