Chapter 635: Enter the Imperial City
In the deep winter season near the end of the year, even Chang'an City, which has recovered some vitality, does not have any intention of welcoming the New Year, and there is no taste of the New Year. It was at this time that Chang'an City, which had just regained its vitality, was once again devastated.
Late one night, the Vermilion Bird Gate of the Imperial City suddenly opened, and countless Imperial City guards poured out of the Suzaku Gate, heading towards the streets on both sides and along the Suzaku Street due south, launching another raid on Chang'an City. Although there has always been ** garrison near the imperial city, and the security is also very strict, but in the face of the rebels like a tide, especially the other party can almost be said to be aimless, and ** cannot make an effective response for a while.
At the same time, the south gate of Daming Palace, which had been closed for several years, was opened, and another group of imperial city guards poured out, and the ** who responded to the battle between the emperor launched a fight that did not know what purpose.
Soon, the ** generals stationed nearby gathered near the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, and Uncle Li Huang had already arrived in a hurry after learning the news, and then, as the most powerful Modao Army in the entire **, first set off in formation, from the area of Anrenfang, in the huge Vermilion Bird Street, slowly advancing in the direction of the Imperial City Vermilion Bird Gate.
With the fierce counterattack of the Modao Army, more and more pseudo-Qi rebels began to retreat again, or fled in all directions along the streets between the squares, in front of the Modao Army, the demoralized pseudo-Qi rebels did not have any power to parry at all, but anyone who rushed up and wanted to compete was cut in two and died tragically on the street.
Under the discussion of the temporary meeting, Uncle Li Huang made a decisive decision and directly issued an order, Lin Feng led the Feng family army to attack directly from the front of the imperial city, respectively to Hanguang Gate, Vermilion Gate and Anmen to rob the door, after obtaining the rule of the imperial city, quickly led the army to continue to advance, from the Chengtianmen into the Taiji Palace, from the side to the Huangchao Daming Palace to carry out an encirclement attack.
And Uncle Li Huang personally took Li Xiaofeng and Li Jian to lead tens of thousands of Li family troops, and directly diverted to Danfeng Street, striving to storm Danfeng Gate from the front and directly attack Daming Palace. At the same time, the garrisons stationed at the various city gates were ordered to be strictly defended, and except for the Mingde Gate, the rest of the city gates must not be opened.
As for the reason for opening the Mingde Gate alone, it is because it is far away from the imperial city, even if there are rebels who escape from the Mingde Gate, the distance of five or six thousand meters or even more is enough to drink a pot, not to mention that there are also the Changlance Cavalry Regiment and the Benlei Pioneer Regiment of the Feng Family Army outside the city.
The rebels who poured out of the imperial city first poured into the east and west cities respectively, even if they braved the spears and knives behind them, they still smashed the large and small shops in the market, risked their lives to take away some food that was enough to wrap their stomachs, but before leaving, they would set a fire with all their conscience.
What made all the ** even more depressed was that they found that almost every rebel would carry ignition and flammable things on their bodies, as if they were not rushing out to fight at all, but more like bandits who came to rob and set fires, not an army at all.
The occupation of the entire imperial city did not cost Lin Feng much time, it was just the time when he used the Mo Dao Army to open the way at the beginning. As the army arrived outside the Imperial City, it was found that there were only a few hundred guards inside and outside the Suzaku Gate, and although the gate had been closed, the defenders on the city wall could barely be ignored.
With the arrival of the temporarily organized siege troops, several small ramming vehicles were transported to the front of the Suzaku Gate, under the protection of the soldiers of the siege troops' death squads, the weak bow and arrow attack on the city wall had no effect at all, and the rebel soldiers in the imperial city did not resist for long, and it only took more than ten full force to collide, and the Hanguang Gate located in the west position collapsed.
The attack of Hanguang Gate began to have countless Feng family troops rushing into the imperial city, and then, after the Vermilion Bird Gate was also defending the escape of the soldiers inside, after a few efforts to rush into the car, it was also breached, and immediately after, Anmen was also easily breached.
At the same time, the number of soldiers of the Feng family army who entered the imperial city was greatly increased, and the first to enter the imperial city was to quickly rush to the city along the horse road on both sides to fight with the rebels, and the Feng family army followed by had no place, so they had to follow the passage of the three gates, all the way to the north, to the direction of the Taiji Palace, and close to the Chengtian Gate in the middle.
There was already chaos in the Taiji Palace, and countless palace people who didn't know the details were running around every corner, naturally holding piles of packages in their arms, and they didn't know if it was their own household savings, or the property they had just looted from various palaces. However, with the Feng family's army entering the Chengtian Gate, this chaos became more and more serious, as if the entire Taiji Palace was full of thieves, and at any glance, you could see no less than dozens of people running back and forth.
The chaotic soldiers in the Taiji Palace are so small that it can almost be said that there is no at all, and the most are the eunuchs and palace maids, however, there are not a few palaces that have been ignited in the entire Taiji Palace, with the entry of the Feng family army, they have also turned into firefighters, and under the effective organization of Lin Feng, the soldiers below began to fetch water everywhere and launched a firefighting activity for the army.
Fortunately, there is a large lake in the palace, although there is no way to completely extinguish the fire in a short time, but at least temporarily controlled, and then slowly suppressed, close to and completely extinguished.
Lin Feng ordered Zhou Chen to stay in the Taiji Palace to control the army to stabilize the situation, and at the same time transferred Meng Hong to the West Inner Garden further north, and also ordered that the Royal Forbidden Garden must be protected from being destroyed by the rebels. As for the East Palace, a cautious Tang Yi was arranged, and thousands of instructions were given, in fact, all the contents were almost the same, everything had to be protected, and the losses that could be recovered must be recovered, and the losses that could not be avoided should be minimized as much as possible.
And Lin Feng himself, with Mao Hao and Yin Bo, went to Anxingmen in person, and even after getting the news, he immediately ordered the siege troops who also entered the imperial city to be transferred to the area of Xineiyuan, preparing to launch the final fatal blow against the puppet Qi regime from the side of Daming Palace.
On the other side, Uncle Li Huang, who took Li Xiaofeng and Li Jian, led the Li family army all the way to Danfeng Street, only to suddenly find that there were almost no guards here, except for the Danfeng Gate that was two or three feet high, a whole street was burning with fires of different sizes, and corpses were everywhere.
The siege force of the Li Jiajun looked even simpler, and there was not even a crash car, but hundreds of people carrying thick tree trunks, relying on the collision of manpower and tacit cooperation, carried out round after round of the most barbaric but extremely simple destruction of Danfeng Gate.
