Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 410 Between Winning and Losing ([-])

"not good!"

"wrong!"

The two counselors, Wu and Lin, who were thinking about it, yelled out almost at the same time, which immediately made the already restless Yunxiang even more flustered, and hurriedly asked: "I'm dying in a hurry, two gentlemen, do you have anything to say?" Please tell me clearly, what is wrong with it?"

Lin Xuanyi got up suddenly, and said nervously: "It's too late to say more, Lin took the imperial decree to dispatch troops, Chengfu, you go with me, the prince immediately sent someone into the palace, and ordered the palace gate to be closed tightly, without the royal order , no one is allowed to enter or leave without authorization, hurry up!" As soon as the voice fell, he grabbed a copy of the imperial decree on the desk and rushed out.Sun Chengfu didn't dare to be negligent, he hurriedly followed Lin Xuanyi, and rushed out of the palace. Lin and Sun led a group of "Honghu" masters on their horses, and rushed towards Dongzhimen, which is the closest to Prince Yi's mansion.

"What's going on here?" Seeing that Lin Xuanyi had run away without a word clearly, Yunxiang stamped his feet and screamed.

"My lord, first send someone to inform He Tie and Mr. He, and then we can talk about other things slowly." Wu Sidao said calmly.

"Ah!" Yun Xiang stomped his feet violently, and shouted: "Come here." Following Yun Xiang's shout, several captains of the palace rushed into the study, and Yun Xiang picked up his own seal from the desk Handed it over to one of the royal school lieutenants, and said in a calm voice: "Shen Liu, take this king's seal, and immediately go to the guards of the palace to find He Tie and Mr. He, and ask him to close the palace door tightly. Wang Shouyu, no one is allowed to enter or leave the palace without authorization, hurry up!"

"Cha!" Shen Liu slapped a thousand times, got up, and hurried away with the captain of the Prince's Mansion.After finishing the matter, Yunxiang immediately turned to Wu Sidao, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Wu, what should I say?"

Wu Sidao nodded lightly and said, "My lord, it's a fact that the eighth master started a rebellion, what's his goal?"

Yun Xiang was stunned for a moment and said: "Imperial Palace, but isn't Lao Ba's manpower already..."

"I'm afraid not necessarily." Wu Sidao interrupted Yun Xiang with a sneer, twitched his long beard on his chest and said, "The primary target of Ba Ye's army is naturally the imperial palace. The role of rumors that the emperor's whereabouts are unknown, Ba Ye may not be able to succeed. Well, now Ba Ye's soldiers and horses are trapped on the surface, but it's hard to say in private. Besides, Ba Ye has always been good friends with eunuchs. There is also the possibility of disturbances in the Baobuding Palace, and the rumors in the palace are a clear proof, if the inside and outside cooperate, it would not take too many soldiers to break through the imperial city, and at that time, even if the prince has a strong army, he will have nothing to do. "

"This..." When Yun Xiang thought of the possibility of the imperial palace being occupied, he broke out in a cold sweat and stared at Wu Sidao in a daze. He would not be able to recover for a long time, and suddenly he was shocked and shouted: " This king enters the palace immediately." Then he planned to leave.

"My lord, don't panic too much. The palace must have taken precautions at this time. Besides, the lord still needs to be in command here. Mr. Wu is inconvenient to move. If there is an accident, the lord has to go out." Wu Sidao saw Yunxiang anxiously He wanted to leave, so he hurriedly dissuaded him.

"In the palace? Take precautions?" Yun Xiang stood on his feet, muttering doubtfully.

Wu Sidao sighed and said: "Although the queen mother always ignores foreign affairs, she is actually a shrewd person. She checked the rumors in the palace in front of her head to guard against eunuchs making trouble. At this time, the fight outside is already raging, and the queen mother must have already stepped down. Yizhi has closed the gate of the palace."

"Then why..." Yun Xiang suddenly remembered that Wu Sidao had suggested that he should notify the Imperial City Guard, and couldn't help being stunned.

Wu Sidao is a wise man who is as careful as a hair, and he can see Yunxiang's doubts at a glance. He secretly sighs in his heart that Yunxiang's political sense is far inferior to Yinzuo, but this matter is of great importance, and Wu Sidao can't say it clearly, so he has to mention it He said: "The queen mother's order is issued by the queen mother, and the prince's order must naturally be issued by the prince."

Yunxiang is not an idiot, he stood on the spot and thought about it and then he understood the mystery of it—one is to communicate internal and external news, and the other is to let Yunxiang take this opportunity to show his loyalty. The reason is very simple: at this time, Yunxiang has great power In my hands, if the rebellion is quelled, it is naturally a great achievement, but the problem lies in this great contribution. I can't hold back my words, if something goes wrong with Yunxiang one day and I ask someone to hold me accountable, the matter of suppressing the rebellion will be enough for Yunxiang to drink a pot, so I will take this opportunity to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Well, with the Empress Dowager here, at least Yunxiang can save a lot of punishment.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu, for your guidance. I understand." Yun Xiang is also a sober person, so he naturally understands that some words can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words, so he mumbled his thanks and never mentioned it again, just frowned. He frowned and said, "What should we do now?"

"Wait." Wu Sidao replied without even thinking.Yunxiang shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words, but didn't make a sound, and sat down obediently, meditating silently. Now that things have happened, Yunxiang really has no other choice but to wait for Yunxu to appear again Recruited.

Yunxiang is waiting on the other side, and Yunyu is also waiting. At this time, Yunyu is no longer in his palace, hiding in a secret room of a private house, waiting for the last opportunity to come, and he has already walked countless times in the small room in a hurry. back and forth, but never waited for Wen Ruihe's arrival.

"My lord." Wen Ruihe, who entered in a hurry, called out respectfully, interrupting Yunhu's wild thoughts.

"How? How's the situation?" Yunhu was in a hurry. She had long lost her former chicness, and she didn't care about her demeanor, so she asked directly.

"My lord, things are not going well. Liangcheng is indeed an ambush planted by the sixth master. Chongwenmen has fallen. Although Deshengmen is still fighting, our side is weak and defeat is inevitable. Now Liangcheng is leading Chongwenmen. The soldiers of the gate are confronting He Randa at the Xizhi Gate, the gate of the palace is closed tightly, but fortunately our dark side has not been exposed. It is getting dark, it is time to act, please give the order." Wen Wen Ruihe said calmly.

"Okay, that's great, I will go in person." Yunhu didn't care about the failure of Chongwenmen and Deshengmen at all, nor the current situation of Xizhimen, rubbed his palms and said excitedly.

"Your lord should wait here for the news. Puheng has been very kind to you, so let someone go for your lord's sake. If there is any disagreement, your lord can leave some seeds." Wen Ruihe shook nodded his head.

"This..." Yunhu hesitated for a moment, looked at Wen Ruihe and said nothing.

"My lord." Wen Ruihe knelt down on the ground, kowtowed his head and said, "Wen has been with the lord for sixteen years. When I serve the prince, I also ask the prince for permission."

"That's all, I'm just suffering for you." Yunhu stretched out his hand to support Wen Ruihe, and said with tears in his eyes, "Take care, sir. I am waiting for your good news here."

Wen Ruihe nodded vigorously, stopped talking, and strode out the door.When Wen Ruihe reached the door, Yunyu suddenly called out: "Sir, if, if... who should I give those things to?"

As soon as Yunhu said this, she suddenly showed a lack of confidence. How could Wen Ruihe, such a wise man, fail to understand the meaning, did not turn around, and paused at the door, sighed and said: "Whether it's the elder brother or the fourth master, it doesn't really make any difference. The lord has decided on his own, and he will go." As soon as the voice fell, he went out without looking back...

At three o'clock, the sun had already set, but the sky was still very bright, but the imperial city, which was the center of the capital, had already closed the doors at this moment, and all the gates of the imperial palace were closed. Swords and guns were unsheathed to guard the key points, as if facing a big enemy. In fact, since the chaos of the Nine Gates at the Shenshizheng Pai, the palace has closed all the gates according to the order of the Queen Mother, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. royal palace.

The gate tower of Shenwumen in the Forbidden City was busy. Hundreds of Shanpuying soldiers were busy arranging various defensive measures. There was a rush of horseshoes, and several Pegasus rode across the long street and rushed past Shenwumen. He rushed to the downstairs of the city gate in a hurry, and an officer who looked like a school lieutenant held a seal in his hand and shouted loudly: "Which general is upstairs? The next official is the instructor of Prince Yi's mansion, Shen." Sixth, I was ordered to come to meet with the Commander of Shanpu Camp, He Tie and Master He, and here is the seal, please report it on your behalf."

A military officer appeared above the city gate, looked at the group of people downstairs, and said loudly: "I'm sorry, the queen mother has an order to close the gate of the palace tightly, and no one can come in or out."

"That's very good. My lord was going to tell Mr. He to guard the palace gate. Please inform Mr. He of my lord's intentions. If it is convenient, please temporarily open the city gate and allow the officials to see Mr. He. Your lord can check it first." Pass the seal letter of my prince." Shen Liu, downstairs of the city gate, held up the seal letter.

"Wait." The officer on the top of the city gate shrank back again, and then lowered a small basket from the top of the city gate, and someone shouted, "Put the seal in first."

Shen Liu looked at the small basket, then at the seal in his hand, after a little thought, he still put the seal in it, and the small basket was quickly put away, and after a while, He Tie's saber Scarface was exposed from the top of the city gate, and he looked at Shen Liu and his party expressionlessly and said, "Thank you for your prince's reminder. The prince of the family is no exception, please go back first, everything is waiting for the queen mother to order."

"Thank you, Mr. He, I'll be there right away..." Shen Liu and the others hadn't finished speaking when they suddenly heard a loud explosion coming from the Donghua Gate not far away. Going back, he stared in the direction of Donghua Gate in a daze.He Tie had no time to talk nonsense with Shen Liu and the others, and strode down the city gate tower and ran towards Donghua Gate...

On April [-]th of the third year of Yuanzhuo, the grassland weather in early summer was like a child’s face, it could change at will, it was still cloudy in the middle of the night, as if it was about to rain, but in the morning, as soon as the sun came out, the sky was overcast. I don't know where it went. There is not even a cloud in the blue sky. The weather is surprisingly good. In other words, this is a good day to kill. As for who should be killed, it depends on God's will. If it is true There is such a word of God.

Even though he didn't sleep well all night, Yin Zuo got up early in the morning. According to his habit for many years, he practiced fists, kicks and swordsmanship outside the tent, stretched his muscles and bones, and ate some breakfast casually, and then left Going to the woods on the top of the mountain, looking at the old Maozi's camp on the plain below the mountain, ignoring the group of generals following behind, just watching silently, thinking about the bloody battle that may happen today.

At this moment, there is little smoke in the camp of the Russian army. Obviously, the Russian army is also busy working together. The big crater caused by the big explosion yesterday appeared in the center of the camp in black, and now the big crater is full of Russian dead. There were no Russian tents within 20 meters of the surrounding area, which made the open space stand out like a scar on a bald man's head.Yin Zuo looked at it quietly for a while, curled his mouth, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Gong Rong, pass on my order and prepare to start the war."

"Your honorable decree." Wang Changtai, who was standing silently behind Yin Zuo, gave a slap, respectfully responded, turned and ran back to the command post, and ordered his messengers to inform the commanders and generals to prepare to meet the enemy.

It’s time for the season, the sun has risen very high, and the early summer sun is shining warmly on the prairie. Showering in this kind of sunshine makes people feel drowsy. It would be nice if the real one could sleep for a while It's just that the Qing army, which was in the state of battle, didn't feel sleepy at all. They stared wide-eyed and watched every move in the old Maozi's camp in the distance. A tense atmosphere before the war floated back and forth over the battlefield, which made people feel breathless. Come feel.Suddenly, a loud bugle sounded, and the originally silent Russian barracks suddenly woke up. Groups of Russian soldiers rushed out of the barracks, and quickly formed a neat formation at the back door of the barracks. The officers' passwords, resonant bugle calls, and fervent war drums sounded together, but within a short while, thousands of Russian soldiers were already standing neatly in an open space 300 meters away from the main Qing army position.

"Soldiers, you are fighting for the empire, for His Majesty the Emperor, you are the pride of the Empire, now the Empire needs you to fight bloody battles, show your courage, and let the yellow-skinned monkeys see what is real Soldiers, all for the empire!" Major General Buchruski rode on a horse and strolled in front of the queue, inspecting the troops under his command while delivering a pre-war speech to boost morale.

"Ulla, everything is for the empire!" Thousands of Russian soldiers raised their rifles at the same time and shouted loudly, the sound shook the sky.

"Okay!" Major General Buchruski drew out the command knife at his waist and pointed at the main position of the Qing army in the distance, and ordered loudly: "I order the second regiment to attack!"

Lieutenant Colonel Xudowski, acting as the temporary head of the second regiment, didn't even ride a horse. He walked in front of the whole regiment on foot. Xiao Shanbao said loudly: "For the empire, victory!"

"Ulla, victory! Victory!" The soldiers of the Russian Second Regiment shouted slogans, and began to move forward with the passionate drumbeat.

The terrain of the main position of the Qing army is: two small hills about twenty feet high stand opposite each other, but they are not completely connected with each other. There is a gap of about ten feet in the middle, and the two mountains are not parallel. The two hills are not high, but their slopes are gentle. The front of each hill has a length of hundreds of feet; walking a hundred meters through the open space between the two hills is where Yinzuo is. On the main peak, in front of the two small hills with portals, there is a lump of soil about twenty feet away, which is no more than ten feet high. People guard together, and there are four cannons in total.The Qing army dug two trenches, one in front and the other at the top of each mountain, and there were communication trenches between the various positions. The three hill positions had a total of 30 artillery pieces and more than 63 soldiers. The constructed artillery positions can cover the entire theater.

"General, the old man is really stupid. They are so neatly lined up. What a good target. Can my artillery fire?" Li Di, the former chief of the artillery battalion, watched the Russian army move out, feeling itchy in his heart. , hurriedly ran to the position commander, guerrilla general Chen Miao, and muttered in a low voice.

It was Chen Miao's troops who had withdrawn from the camp yesterday, guarding this salient. He was itching in his heart after the "lost battle" yesterday. Hearing Li Di's nagging, he immediately said angrily: "It's useful to beat the infantry. See, the old man's artillery is busy moving forward at the moment. I don't want to be shot. If you have the ability, your four cannons can kill the old man's six cannons. Those old Maozi infantry are not enough for me to clean up."

"Hey, okay, look at me, general, you said it yourself, I'm going to start the fight." Li Di laughed and slipped back to the artillery position more than ten feet behind the position, yo-ho to the artillery under his command Adjust the shooting elements, ready to fire...
