Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 807 The Chinese army has reached the city (please subscribe!)

...

Do you really know that Yue Fei will honestly fight a psychological battle with the Song army before sending his troops south?
In fact, Yue Fei had already built plank roads and secretly crossed Chen Cang to send Li Bao to lead the amphibious army, Yang Zaixing to lead the first battalion, and Niu Gao to lead an elite [-] horse infantry to enter Hangzhou Bay by sea and then go straight to Lin'an by the Qiantang River.

Of course, there was an element of luck in this process.

Because of the Miao-Liu Mutiny, the Song Army's defense line in Hangzhou had a big loophole, so that, under the leadership of the inside line, the first battalion landed quietly from the Qiantang River, and then passed through without any resistance. The defense line of the Song Army came to Lin'an City—in fact, some soldiers of the Song Army in the defense area found the first battalion, but the soldiers of the first battalion were all alone, coming and going like the wind, plus Song The army is in chaos now, and the alarm system is sluggish. Therefore, they failed to report the arrival of the first battalion to Lin'an in time, which eventually led to the first battalion quietly appearing under the city of Lin'an.

Knowing that the Chinese army had already attacked the city, both Zhao Gou and Queen Mother Pan panicked!

Zhao Gou hurriedly ordered the messenger to come and asked, "How many troops are coming?"

The man said: "It's too dark, I can't see clearly, but the villain dares to say that they have no less than [-] horse troops alone!"

It was indeed so dark that the city guards could only vaguely see more than 1 horses below the city, but did not see that many horses actually had no knights.

When Zhao Gou heard that there were no less than [-] horse troops alone, Zhao Gou felt cold, and secretly said: "It's over, this must be the Ma Jun, the forward of the Chinese army. Already!"

At the same time, Zhao Gou was also puzzled, wondering why the more than 1 horse troops came so quickly?Ordinarily, it should be Zhang Jun's defeated army who came back first!
Yes.

Wujiang is only three hundred miles away from Lin'an.

And a good horse can run from Wujiang to Lin'an in one day.

But the account is not actually calculated that way.

First of all, there are too few horses that can run [-] miles a day - such a horse is already a BMW horse, and one horse is already rare, and thousands of horses gather together, it is simply impossible to exist, Even the horses of the first battalion cannot all meet the standard, but in fact, the average cavalry can travel sixty to eighty miles a day.

Secondly, although Wu Jiang's army was defeated, Zhang Jun was also an old soldier, and it was impossible not to leave elite rear guards to block the Chinese army from buying some time for himself and the defeated army.

Again, there are many checkpoints on this road, and it is impossible to leave them all and escape in all directions. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese army to pass through these checkpoints without any delay.

Therefore, Zhao Gou just told Queen Mother Pan that Zhongqi would kill them tomorrow noon or even tomorrow morning. That was bullying Queen Mother Pan who didn't understand the army. It is impossible to kill Lin'an.

however--

The reality slapped Zhao Gou hard!

The Chinese army has already reached the city of Lin'an, and there are more than 1 horse troops.

At this moment, Zhao Gou panicked!

Zhao Gou yelled at Empress Dowager Pan on the city wall: "The Chinese army has reached the bottom of the city. Are you going to drag the soldiers and civilians all over the city to be buried with you?"

Empress Dowager Pan has already lost all her beauty at this time, and she has lost her size. I don't know if she should return the power to Zhao Gou under such circumstances?
Seeing Queen Mother Pan like this, many people who were originally looking forward to Queen Mother Pan were very disappointed in Queen Mother Pan. In such a life-and-death situation, the head of a regime has no claim and just stands there. Who can trust her?

Wu Zhan said anxiously at the side: "Queen Mother, you should quickly think of a way, otherwise people's hearts will be confused..."

Before Wu Zhan could finish speaking, the palace gate was opened from the inside——the guard of the palace gate rebelled.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou hurriedly led people into the palace.

Seeing this, Wu Zhan quickly took people to protect Queen Mother Pan and retreated to the palace!
It can be said that Wu Zhan's reaction was still very fast. He clearly saw that they still had the last card in their hands, which was Zheng'an Emperor Zhao Yang.

Even if this Zhao Yang can no longer be the emperor in the future, he is the only son of Zhao Gou. As long as they grab Zhao Yang, they can threaten Zhao Yang to surrender to the Chinese army, and they can use Zhao Yang as a hostage when they retreat.

Therefore, after protecting Empress Dowager Pan down the city wall, Wu Zhan immediately retreated to Zhao Yang's residence while protecting Empress Dowager Pan.

Just as Wu Zhan expected, Zhao Gou's neighbors didn't care, and the only one who worried was his son Zhao Yang.

Although Zhao Gou didn't want to admit it, he already had a faint feeling in his heart that he might never have another heir in this life.

Therefore, Zhao Gou must protect Zhao Yang no matter what!
Ever since, people from both sides went to kill Zhao Yang's location, and both wanted to snatch Zhao Yang into their own hands.

The two sides ran and killed, and finally came to Zhao Yang's residence almost front and rear.

The leaders of the two sides fought in Zhao Yang's residence, killing a man and turning his back on his back.

Not long after, Zhao Gou, Mrs. Wu, Queen Mother Pan, Wu Zhan and others all came to the courtyard where Zhao Yang was.

Zhao Gou intends to stop this brawl, but now everything is out of control, he can't stop it at all, he can only watch anxiously!

suddenly!

A court lady rushed out from inside, and then shouted at Empress Dowager Pan: "Your Majesty, please stop beating, Your Majesty seems to be dying!"

The court lady's words made everyone stop fighting - the emperor was about to die, what a fart to kill, Zhao Gou and Queen Mother Pan even rushed into Zhao Yang's room regardless.

Zhao Gou and Mrs. Pan later came to Zhao Yang's bedside to have a look, and saw that Zhao Yang had already breathed in but not vented, and his little face was full of panic!
Zhao Gou and Empress Dowager Pan rushed over at the same time, shaking Zhao Yan, and said: "Jian'er, what's wrong with you?" Open your eyes and look at Father!"...

At this time, Pan Yongshou squeezed in from the crowd, and then quickly came to Zhao Yang's side.

After carefully examining Zhao Yang for a while, Pan Yongshou sat down on the ground——Zhao Yang hadn't been there for a long time.

When Zhao Gou saw this, how could he not know that his only son was gone?
Zhao Gou roared with red eyes: "What's going on? Why is my son like this?"

Everyone dared not answer Zhao Gou's words, or even look at Zhao Gou.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou grabbed the court lady who had just gone out to call Queen Mother Pan to him, then pointed at Zhao Yan, and asked, "Why is my son like this?"

The maid was too scared to speak at first, but she soon saw that Zhao Gou's eyes were full of murderous intent. If she didn't say anything, she might die on the spot, so she said in a trembling voice: "Since... since the last time After the mutiny, Your Majesty... no, the prince... the prince's condition is not very good. A few days ago... a few days ago, the prince suffered from malaria again. Just now, suddenly... there was a sound of killing in the courtyard, and then... ...then the crown prince cried...crying, crying...crying...the crown prince passed away..."

Hearing that Zhao Yang was scared to death by them, Zhao Gou regretted it unceasingly, while Empress Dowager Pan hugged Zhao Yang's body and wailed bitterly!
however--

As if the punishment for Zhao Gou was not enough, someone suddenly ran to Zhao Gou in a panic, and whispered a report in Zhao Gou's ear: "Your Majesty, the two rebel generals Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan led the army. The palace was surrounded, and they said... that they would capture and dedicate you, Your Majesty, to Emperor Dazhong..."
