Rebirth in another world as a fake eunuch

Chapter 217 Siege
"You are in charge of everything in the palace here, and I will deal with the outside affairs!"

At this time, Wang Kuo had promoted Ding Quan to be the head of the palace, and at the same time handed over all matters in the palace to Long Rong'er, Yin Xiewen, Li Shuyi and others to handle.

Of course, their main task is to stabilize the overall situation. As for the ascension of the new emperor, it is actually done by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!

Especially the Minister of Rites, the emperor's ascension to the throne is related to the greatest etiquette in the world, and the Ministry of Rites is best at this.

And it also involves a lot of expenses, etc., so the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, etc., the Six Ministries and the Cabinet are all indispensable!

When Wang Kuo walked out of the Golden Luan Hall, dozens of guards hurriedly followed him, but just when they had just walked not far away, they happened to meet a group of high-level guards from Ouchi who rushed over.

"Lord Wang, who is this?" General Wu's name was Wu Boliang, and when he saw Wang Kuo leading people coming from a distance, he hurriedly led them to speed up their pace, came to Wang Kuo and bowed in salute!

"Oh, it's General Wu!" Wang Kuo nodded. This General Wu is also one of his own, and in Wang Kuo's circle, he is still one of the core personnel. For him, Wang Kuo is naturally at ease.

"Your Majesty has passed away. The new emperor has just succeeded to the throne. I don't want the ghosts and monsters in the court to come out. I am going to put down the rebellion under the order of the Queen Mother!"

"So that's the case. I haven't heard the news about this incident, but since it's a matter of the capital, I can't stand by and watch. Please allow me to follow my lord to put down the rebellion together!"

When Wu Mingliang heard it, hehe, it's really better to come early than coincidentally. Isn't this an opportunity for him to express himself?
At this time, the palace had already been completely controlled by Wang Kuo, so some news about him leading a rebellion and forcing Emperor Zhu Yu to death had not yet been sent out!
Of course, the fact that it has not been passed on now does not mean that it will not be passed on in the future. It is still the same sentence, a secret of one person is a secret, but a secret of two people is not a secret, not to mention that there are countless eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it is definitely not one person who knows the news He could control the two of them for a while, but he definitely couldn't control those people.

Unless he ordered the massacre of all the maids and eunuchs in the Palace of Light, there would be no news that could not be spread.

It's just that he really slaughtered them all, can it be explained clearly?
But it is also fortunate that the news has not been passed on now, so the Qianhu and others of the big inner guards in front of them don't know the specific situation. At this moment, when they heard that their lord asked for a fight, they all bowed at the same time to salute.

"My lord, please allow me to go together to counter the rebellion!"

"Okay!" Wang Kuo was overjoyed, which also made him look at Wu Mingliang with more satisfaction.

You know, although Wang Kuo now controls the entire imperial palace, even the defense of the entire capital is under his control, but how can these places not need manpower?
And the number of people he brought from the border was only about 1, of which 1 were from the new barracks he brought out from the capital, and the remaining [-] were the subordinates that Di Bo had raised privately during this period.

These subordinates are usually arranged in various villas to be responsible for the security of the villas, but they will also be trained by Di Bo, especially the refugees who were taken away in the capital last time, there are thousands of them.

As a result, these people were also used to organize an army of ten thousand people.

To be honest, it wasn't that Wang Kuo didn't want to use the people who suppressed the wolf pass, but He Yong had only managed those people for a short time after all, and rebellion was such a big deal, so he couldn't believe those people.

If someone really wants to stab him in the back, it's better not to let them participate.

Therefore, the strength of Wang Kuo's men is only 2 at full strength. If the defense of the entire capital and the defense of the palace are removed, he can take out at most 4000 men.

"Okay, since General Wu has the heart, I will agree. After this matter is over, I will be like the empress dowager to ask for credit for everyone!"

After all, nothing is as touching as actual benefits, so Wang Kuo's guarantee immediately attracted temporary allegiance from several people!
There are twelve teams of Ouchi guards, each with 1000 people, a total of 1 people!

However, these big inner guards are not the hundreds of dead soldiers raised by Zhu Wang, almost everyone can fight ten against one without losing the wind!
On the contrary, these big internal guards all look big and round, but in fact their strength is the same. After all, these people are soldiers in the capital. In their subconscious, no matter how chaotic outside, the enemy is fighting. The center is still as safe!

It's just that there are soldiers from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion who have the same thinking, so speaking of it, the two sides are the same, and they can't be compared with the elite brought by Wang Kuo.

Wang Kuo ordered General Wu to take people to gather the team, and he led the [-] soldiers who made up together, and went straight to the nearest Qinglong Gate with crossbow arrows in hand.

Because after this short period of time, Jin Yiwei had already sent the news, knowing that the [-] troops brought by Li Tiancheng went straight to Qinglongmen to kill them.

"Everyone go up to the city wall and prepare to fight!" Wang Kuo stood at the top of the city, looking into the distance. With his gaze, he could already see the soldiers of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion approaching slowly.

Speaking up.This was Wang Kuo's first battle to defend the city. After all, all he could fight outside the Great Wall was field battles. Bringing his own soldiers would kill all directions!

rumbling...

rumbling...

Eight thousand soldiers sounded inferior to an army of [-], [-], or a million. In fact, if they were to be lined up from the bottom of the city, it would be too dark, especially in the imperial palace of the capital.

Because the outside of the palace is not a barren wilderness, but a relatively crowded street in the capital, so it is not so easy to get all the soldiers to line up, so when Li Tiancheng came rushing with the soldiers, even in the In the alley far away, there were still some soldiers who did not show their heads.

The huge rolling stone cart moved forward slowly under the push of the soldiers. Dozens of soldiers carried the huge bumper logs forward. In the blink of an eye, there were two giant logs!

"Bastard, it seems that these guys are also well prepared!"

At this time, Wang Kuo was no longer the former Wuxia Amon, and he was familiar with siege equipment. Xiang Na's ladder, rolling stone cart and impact log were all necessary artifacts for siege.

smack smack...

Smacking his mouth, Wang Kuo felt a little flustered!
There is no way, I made a mistake in my prediction, and I led my troops out, only equipped with crossbows and firearms, and he didn't let people carry weapons like bows and arrows at all!
Although the guns are strong, Wang Kuo knows his soldiers. Except for some of them who have fired guns, many of them have never fired guns, so these people can still be used in close-range field battles. In urban warfare, it is estimated that when the shot is fired, the bullet will not know where it will go!

As for the crossbow bolts, Wang Kuo also brought enhanced short-range crossbow bolts in order to ensure portability.

The advantage of short-range crossbow bolts is that they are easy to carry, suitable for rapid marches and difficult to be found!

But the disadvantage is that the shooting range is short, only about 80 meters, which cannot be compared with the distance of more than 100 meters of crossbow arrows!

Bows and arrows are still the kind that can be shot out and continue to attack with the arrows at hand, while crossbows need to be loaded briefly!

"grown ups?"

Di Bo followed closely beside Wang Kuo. After such a short period of time, it can be seen that he also thought of his own disadvantages, and couldn't help but worry.

"Don't worry, I'll open the city gate and fight in close quarters!" Wang Kuo shook his head, knowing what Di Bo was worried about, but Wang Kuo wasn't very worried, otherwise he wouldn't be in the mood to continue standing here, and would have turned his head away run first.

Not to mention that if you really want to open the city gate and have a close combat, even defending the city is actually very advantageous. Besides, Wu Mingliang's people are expected to come to support soon, and at this time, there is no news in the entire capital It is said that there are other forces.

So Wang Kuo is not worried, after all, there are only so few enemies in front of him, killing one will save one!
After a while, the army brought by Li Tiancheng finally stood still 200 meters away from the city gate!
This is the tranquility before the storm, Wang Kuo knows it well, but he just understands it, he doesn't care about making this tranquility last longer.

"Who is outside who dares to lead troops to surround the palace? Are you planning to rebel?"

Wang Kuo's voice was like rolling waves, slapping towards Li Tiancheng and his soldiers on the opposite side, which also made the expressions of those soldiers who didn't know why change, and they were flustered for a while.

In this era, the imperial palace represents the sanctity and inviolability, and also represents the highest right, so even if Li Tiancheng told them that there are rebels here, they still panic!
In fact, this is why Wang Kuo did not dare to bring the soldiers from the town of Langguan, and even his own soldiers did not know the specifics before entering the palace. In his heart, it is also a normal handover, only some generals know the truth.

"Rebel, you persecuted His Majesty, and now you still want to beat him back, I..."

"Bold!" Wang Kuo suddenly yelled angrily, directly interrupting Li Tiancheng's roar, and then angrily reprimanded: "You are so brave, you actually led people to surround the palace, I think you want to rebel..."

"Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense and provoke us. You all saw the signal flare in the palace just now. Could it be that I am talking nonsense?" Li Tiancheng sensitively noticed the trance of the soldiers around him, and was anxious in his heart. Neng gave up and continued to confront Wang Kuo, and hurriedly said.

Maybe it's because Li Tiancheng's prestige among the soldiers is not low, maybe it's because what he said had an effect, the soldiers who were a little flustered just now gradually stabilized under his explanation.

It's just that Wang Kuo never thought that he could defeat others without fighting with just a few words, so his tone softened by two points this time!
"Li Tiancheng, just after His Majesty passed away, you led people around the palace. I think you were provoked by others, so I will give you a chance to make a new choice. As long as you lead the troops back now, I will treat you as if you never showed up." Pass!"

"And you, do you think you can rebel successfully?" Wang Kuo turned to look at the lieutenants standing beside Li Tiancheng and said!
"Do you know that this rebellion is a major crime of beheading and punishing the nine clans. Do you really want to bring the families behind you to die together..."
