At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 491

Outside Juyong Pass, Zhu Qizhen looked up at the starry sky with a very heavy expression on his face.

One man guards the gate, and ten thousand men cannot open it. This sentence is not just for words, sometimes everything can be determined by the terrain alone.

In the current situation, if there is no heavy firearms, it is impossible to win Juyongguan.

Yuan Bin looked at the sky, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late at night."

Zhu Qizhen said slowly: "I can't sleep!"

It's already the sixth night, and I still haven't thought of a way to defeat the enemy.

The supply on my side mainly depends on Orkhon City and the surrounding market towns. If it continues to be consumed, the supply will be difficult to maintain.

I don't know how far the conspiracy in the capital has gone. If the prince has already ascended the throne, the situation will become more and more difficult to control.

"Your Majesty, Duke Rui and Marquis of Beihai are here!"

Zhu Qizhen turned his head and saw Li Zhen and Ha Ming coming forward, kneeling on one knee to salute.

"Don't be too polite, get up and answer."

The two stood up, and Li Zhen said: "Your Majesty, it's not an option to wait like this. I suggest that the [-] Battalion launch an attack tomorrow morning!"

Ha Ming hurriedly said: "Mr. Rui, didn't you just agree that Beihaiwei will lead the battle!"

Li Zhen said: "Beihaiwei is not good at attacking the city, it is better for the [-] Battalion to take the lead!"

"But... the Three Thousand Battalion is not good at attacking cities either!"

"We are equipped!"

"We have a lot of people!"

"We are familiar with the terrain around the capital!"

"We... have a lot of people!"

"Okay, stop fighting!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said: "Without heavy artillery, it's useless for anyone to go up. This is a siege, not an encounter. It is meaningless to compare equipment and numbers!"

The two of you look at me, I look at you, and shut your mouth at the same time.

Zhu Qizhen said again: "After thinking about it, it is better to divide the army and break through other passes."

Li Zhen said: "I am worried that other passes will also be heavily guarded."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "It must be so, but as long as there is a way to break through, you can go to the capital to move troops."

The biggest problem now is that the news has been cut off. The capital doesn't know what happened outside the customs, and he doesn't know how far the capital is.

If a group of soldiers and horses enter the capital, the conspiracy of these people can be made public.

At least you can tell all the officials in the capital that I, Zhu Qizhen, are still alive and I am just outside Juyongguan.

Whoever dares to rebel must weigh it, how many lives he has!

Li Zhen said: "If you divide your troops to attack, you need to plan a good route. The more troops you divide, the better. Even if an army has only a hundred people, as long as you can bypass the opponent's defense and enter the capital, it will be considered successful!"

While the two were talking, Ha Ming looked up at the stars in the night sky, fascinated.

Li Zhen stretched out her hand and slapped him on the back, and said, "Marquis of Beihai, what do you think?"

"what?"

Ha Ming was a little dazed, and hurriedly replied: "What?"

Li Zhen frowned and said: "The emperor asked you something, how about dividing up the troops?"

"Oh, oh...no problem!"

Ha Ming nodded again and again, and said, "Beihaiwei has 5000 people, and they can be divided into dozens of small teams for multi-line assault. I don't believe it. They can deploy defenses on all routes?"

Zhu Qizhen thought over and over again, as if there was no better way, he turned around and said, "It's not too late, the route will be determined tonight."

Li Zhen turned to follow, but saw that Ha Ming was still looking up at the sky, and slapped him again.

"Let's go, what are you looking at?"

However, Ha Ming was full of doubts and said, "How can this star... move?"

Li Zhen was puzzled and asked, "What?"

Ha Ming pointed to the sky and said, "Look, are those stars moving?"

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen stopped abruptly, turned around and looked towards the sky.

Yuan Bin also realized the problem, and stared at the moving stars that Ha Ming mentioned.

Only Li Zhen was puzzled and asked, "Why do the stars move?"

The sorrow on Zhu Qizhen's face suddenly disappeared, and he smiled knowingly: "Here we come!"

"what?"

Li Zhen was still puzzled, what happened?
The stars in the sky come to save you?

Seeing this, Yuan Bin explained: "This is the Kongming Lantern of the Academy of Sciences!"

Ha Ming was a little taken aback, but Li Zhen had already reacted and said, "Reinforcements are here!"

Zhu Qizhen laughed, and immediately ordered: "Send the order, everyone is ready to fight, the target is Juyongguan!"

Li Zhen saluted and said, "Yes!"

Ha Ming hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he asked, "Your Majesty, what... is this all about?"

Beihaiwei is too far away from the Central Plains, so we know very little about what happened in the capital.

In addition, the new invention of Kongming Lantern is a military secret and will not be easily spread, so Ha Ming does not know about it.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Go and prepare, you will understand in a while!"

Ha Ming still didn't understand, but he had no choice but to agree: "I obey the order!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the camp was brightly lit, and everyone was in a state of preparation for battle.

Zhu Qizhen rode at the front of the team, staring closely at the sky above Juyongguan.

A few erratic stars became bigger and bigger, and there were many small dots behind them. Judging by the number, there were at least hundreds of them.

Ha Ming is still at a loss, what is this thing for?
Didn't the emperor say to divide the troops, why did he suddenly attack?
What's going on in the middle of the night?
Suddenly, a dazzling fire appeared in front of him.

Ha Ming was startled suddenly, and before he could react, a violent explosion sounded in his ears.

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, there was another flash of fire.

Boom!

Boom!

Explosions continued to appear, and Juyongguan was in flames!
Ha Ming opened his mouth wide and looked at the front in surprise, as if it had turned into a sea of ​​flames.

He was shocked, what kind of weapon is this?
From the power of the explosion, it can be seen that it should be a large artillery, but no sound of firing was heard at all.

Could it be that the emperor has developed a cannon that does not need to be fired?

This is unreasonable!
The explosion at Juyongguan continued until all the stars in the sky fell, and there was a faint cry of killing.

Zhu Qizhen drew out the embroidered spring knife from his waist, and shouted: "The whole army strikes!"

Under the order, the army rushed to Juyongguan like a tide.

Ha Ming seemed to want to find out, and tried his best to rush to the front of the team, only to see that the front was full of fire, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

boom!
The suspension bridge in front of the city gate suddenly toppled, and then the city gate was opened from the inside.

A group of officers and soldiers dressed in royal guards rushed out, and one of them stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Chen Jinyiwei Wantong welcomes the emperor, long live the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen reined in the reins, raised his horse forward, and asked, "How is the battle ahead?"

Wantong said: "There are [-] rebels in Juyongguan, most of them have been wiped out, and a few have surrendered."

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again: "How many of you are here?"

Wantong continued: "Jinyiwei has 500 people, and the Academy of Sciences has 150 people!"
