Volume 7 Chapter 166 Chang Yu Surrendered
The beacon fire of the Qin Palace was transmitted to all directions in a very short period of time. Around Xianyang, Yucheng, Yunyang, Liyi, Ganquan Palace, Yongcheng, and even further away Pingyang, Zhongnan Mountain, Unrelated, and Yiqu can be seen.
This beacon smoke is ignited, representing the danger of the national capital. In history, neither the coalition of nations nor the internal strife ignited this beacon fire, but now it is ignited. This beacon fire complements the wolf smoke on the Great Wall, and is used to convey information in times of crisis.
The beacon fire only rushed into the night sky, and the flames filled with fire oil reached a height of three zhang, indicating that the situation was already very critical. The only one who can light this beacon fire is Huayang Palace, with Mrs. Huayang's shrewdness, she can't do such a shameful thing. Since she has done it, it means that she can no longer control the situation, and the Qin Palace will be lost.
The last time Kailong was in civil strife, the women of the Blood Fan Mansion attacked the Qin Palace, and the Huayang Palace did not ignite this beacon fire, which shows that everything is within the controllable range. But this time, everyone knew that Mrs. Huayang couldn't stand it.
Qin Wangguanli, took away most of the troops, Xianyang is very empty, where to set up the group of hungry wolf divisions of Chang Yu. That's right, those people are Chang Yu's private soldiers, a group of reckless rivers and lakes, and the wealth of Xianyang Palace makes them blush. Not to mention them, even Zogo exhausted, they all charged at the forefront, and the sound of hitting the palace gate resounded throughout Xianyang City.
Countless Qin people hiding at home trembled with fear, they were all thinking, is Great Qin going to be finished?
Nei Shi Teng of the City Guard Mansion stood up suddenly, and immediately rushed to the palace gate in a hurry for all the city guards. No matter how Wei Yu tried to dissuade him, he didn't listen to the persuasion, because he was the Taishou of Xianyang, and even if he died, he would kill all those who dared to attack the Qin Palace.
Nei Shi Yan also got up in a panic, and was about to rush with Nei Shi Teng, but was stopped by Wei Yu and said: "You can't go anymore, I hit the palace gate, Chang Yu's conspiracy against the big crime has been completed, it's useless for you to go, why don't you keep your useful body and do something for Chang Xinhou." ”
Neishi hid his head and cried, "What else can I do? The king's knife must have fallen on the head of the Hou Ye. When I came, Ling Qi and I repeatedly told us that Yihuan Yuan and Qin Palace were our forbidden places, and they could not be attacked unless they had to. Now that the Qin Palace is lit, reinforcements from all over the country will soon rush to Xianyang, and I am already a mortal person. ”
Wei Yu said sharply: "Everyone can die, but you can't die." After this battle, the Marquis of Changxin will die, and no one can protect him, not even the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji. I let you live just to let you find out who bewitched Chang Xinhou to carry out such extreme measures. With Changxin Hou's mind, it is impossible for him to have the idea of attacking the Qin Palace, so there must be someone behind him who has an idea for him. ”
"The Marquis of Changxin is going to die, but it is not clear that he can't die. Another thing you have to understand is that Chang Xinhou still has two children, and you have to find a way to keep them. In my estimation, the king will not keep them in the world, and if the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji does not have someone around to help intercede, she will not be able to stand the pressure of the king. ”
Neishi hung his head wantonly, and his heart was sad. He understands what Wei Yi means, most of the people brought by the Marquis of Changxin will die, and because he himself has been in the Chengwei Mansion and is with King Qin's henchmen, he will be guilty, but the crime will not lead to death.
Looking at the rolling flames of the Qin Palace, the tears of the inner history have never been heard, and he has no feeling for the fighting outside the city. This fire was lit by Huayang Palace, and the palace gate has not been broken yet, what is the purpose of Mrs. Huayang lighting the beacon fire so early? There is only one thing he can guess, that is, to let King Qin Yingzheng slash the sword of the first monarch to the Marquis of Changxin.
In the Qi Nian Palace, Ying Zheng on the terrace on the second floor looked at the beacon fire with a cold face and didn't say a word. After a while, Zhao Ji and Mo Chou Nu also came.
Zhao Ji sighed bitterly: "Zheng'er, this knife can only be cut at Chang Yu." Mrs. Huayang is really ruthless, but her mother didn't calculate well, she would come to such a trick. Xianyang Palace is on fire, you can't wait any longer, you can only send orders to the county guards everywhere and send troops to capture the thieves. ”
Ying Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "The son has already made full preparations in the palace, even if Chang Yu attacks the Qin Palace, at most some eunuchs and palace maids will die, and the main concubines of each palace will be transferred to a safe place." With Chang Yu's little strength, there is not much threat to the Qin Palace at all, I wanted to kill fewer people, but Mrs. Huayang didn't let me, and wanted me to kill more. ”
"This fire was lit too early, it disrupted all the arrangements, and my son couldn't be led by the nose all the time. Give me an order, and the soldiers of the battle will set off and surround me with several gates in Xianyang. No one is allowed to set foot in Xianyang City without a new order. ”
"The county guards in various places are still standing still, and whoever dares to send troops will be beheaded."
Li Ji quickly summoned this order, and Zhao Ji asked strangely: "Chang Yu has 40,000 troops in his hands, and the Qin Palace does not have so many troops to defend at all, why don't you let them enter the Qin Palace to support?" ”
Ying Zheng said calmly: "No one knows the internal layout of the Qin Palace better than me, and it can definitely be delayed until dawn. With 10,000 garrisons, Chang Yu fought with Changping Jun's 30,000 men outside the city. There were people fighting in the streets all over Xianyang City, and although there were 30,000 people attacking the palace gates, I am sure that Nei Shi Teng must have attacked with the best city guards. ”
"The number of troops who can enter the Qin Palace will not exceed 20,000, and with 20,000 troops wreaking havoc in the palace, it will definitely usher in the strong counterattack of those subordinates in the North Palace. Lady Huayang will hide in her underground vault, and Grandmother Natsuhime will use the vault to arm those people. ”
"And what I can do is to kill all those who dare to enter the palace, so that the core secret of my Great Qin will not be discovered by the spies of the world. In fact, those soldiers are also my soldiers, even if there are too many Jianghu people in them, and the person who is loyal is Chang Yu, but Chang Yu is not really rebellious. ”
"In the final analysis, the people who are dying now are all my people, they are fighting in the house, and all they are losing are my Great Qin national strength. All the nations wanted to see this, and I tried my best to avoid reducing casualties, but Mrs. Huayang's beacon forced me to kill them all. ”
Zhao Ji sighed and said no more. Originally, Chang Yu led the troops to Xianyang, Zhao Ji was very worried at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Chang Yu was going to do, at least it was still within the control of Ganquan Palace. I heard that Ying Zheng was preparing in the palace, which was consistent with his conjecture, so I didn't think there was any problem, Chang Yu was just joking.
But Mrs. Huayang lit the beacon fire, and convicted Chang Yu of the crime of rebellion. The laws of Great Qin clearly stipulate that as long as there is a crime of rebellion, he must be punished, and the punishment of sitting together must be applied, and the three generations of blood relatives must be executed.
Ying Hao hurriedly climbed onto the terrace, knelt in front of Ying Zheng, and said hurriedly: "Please give an order immediately, let me go to Xianyang with the garrison to capture the thief Chang Yu, if you don't go, the 10,000 soldiers who were bewitched by him will not be able to escape." ”
Ying Zheng sighed: "It's too late, the Qin Palace beacon is lit, and Changping Jun is already desperate." Half of the 10,000 guards had gone, and most of the horses had been shot dead. The soldiers of Yongcheng have no horses, and half of their combat strength is gone, and when the soldiers of Yucheng arrive, they will all die there. Even if you rush now, it's too late. ”
Ying Hao was stunned: "How is this possible? I have been to the garrison camp outside Xianyang City, and they don't have that kind of combat power at all, and they definitely can't be compared with the soldiers of Yongcheng. Even if 10,000 against 30,000 people, with thousands of dead and wounded, they would be able to escape a lot, and it would be impossible for the whole army to be wiped out. ”
Ying Zheng said sadly: "There are two reasons, one is that Chang Yu does not dare to withdraw the army, as long as he does not leave, how can the garrison flee from the battle?" The second is that Changping Jun was also in a hurry, using an iron bucket array, filling it with human lives, besieging the garrison to death, and shooting horses. ”
"Because Changping Jun knew that as long as he besieged for half an hour, reinforcements from all over the other roads would arrive. If he can't catch Chang Yu, the widow's first knife will cut at his head, and he doesn't dare not fight hard. ”
"Chang Yu is being forced, Changping Jun is being forced, and the widow is also being forced. On this night, many people will die, which is beyond the controllable range. As for how many more people will die, I don't know. ”
Ying Hao said bitterly: "Can't you really save it?" ”
Ying Zheng shook his head, and Ying Hao reluctantly retreated.
Ying Zheng also wanted to save those people, but the fire in Huayang Palace disrupted everyone's deployment. With the beacon fire, everyone will fight hard, either you die or I die, and there is no room for maneuver.
The battle outside Xianyang City, as Ying Zheng expected, after losing the horses, Chang Yu led his soldiers and fought as trapped beasts. He didn't expect that Changping Jun would be so iron-blooded, and actually used the iron bucket array, took away a garrison at the cost of five deaths, and trapped him here.
It didn't take long for the Yucheng army to arrive, which made matters worse.
Watching the soldiers die in front of him, Chang Yu knew that he was defeated, so he gathered his line and separated himself from the other party.
Chang Yu dropped his weapons and shouted sadly: "All the soldiers, drop your weapons and wait to surrender on the spot." ”
At the same time, Li Xin, who arrived, also gathered the front and took control of the city gates.
Changping Jun was stunned and asked: "Li Xin, Chang Yu has been defeated, capture him as soon as possible, and follow me into the palace to quell the rebellion, there are still 30,000 rebels inside." ”
Li Xin shook his head and sighed: "The king has an order, all troops outside the city are not allowed to enter Xianyang City, and if they violate the order, they will be beheaded." The Marquis of Changxin has been defeated, and there are only 3,000 dead of 10,000 guards. And of your 30,000 army, there are only 8,000 left. Hey, it's all your own family, since the other party has surrendered, don't do things to the end. ”
Changping Jun was surprised, Ying Zheng actually issued such an order, looked up at the blazing beacon fire, and said hurriedly: "But the beacon fire has started, if we don't go in, what should the Qin Palace do?" ”
Li Xin rolled his eyes and said, "What should I do?" Cold. This is the king's order, if you really want to disobey, don't blame the young general for not remembering the past and killing you on the spot. ”
Hearing such a strange order, the people around were dumbfounded. For Li Xin, the King of Qin has already been crowned, and it is time to establish the monarchy. If anyone takes the lead in disobedience at this time, then there is only one way to die, and he will not be the one who comes out.
As for the chaos in the Qin Palace, he can't control it, so naturally King Yingzheng of Qin has to worry about it. Anyway, it was not his family that lived inside, and King Qin was not in a hurry, so why did he jump out in a hurry.
Hearing the sound of Chang Yu's surrender, everyone was relieved, after all, the Yongcheng soldiers fought too fiercely, and they should try not to fight if they can. In order to besiege them, more than 30,000 people have been lost, and they can't die anymore, otherwise tomorrow will really not be justified.
But at this moment, a Yongcheng soldier stood up and shouted loudly: "I am the garrison, and the garrison has never surrendered." ”
After saying this, he drew his sword and killed himself on the spot......
