The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 436
The battlefield situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

Weisheng said to Bigen: "Director Bi, we can't delay any longer. The longer the delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us."

Bigen nodded, and said to Weisheng: "Pass down the order to let the archers come to the front, hmph, do you think you are the only ones who can shoot arrows?"

Weisheng nodded, and the two sides began to shoot at each other across the courtyard wall.

With the help of the archers, a group of soldiers holding their shields began to pour into the inner palace through the palace gate.

Although the speed of action was not very fast, as more and more people poured in, the balance of the war began to tilt towards Bigen.

Two flowers bloomed, one for each branch, and on the other side at this time, the special general was rushing to the city as soon as possible,
Outside Shangjing, a group of people took advantage of the darkness and quietly appeared at the west gate of the city at this time.

At this time, the city gate was closed, and a figure quietly came to the gate and knocked lightly a few times.

"Who is it? The city gate is closed!" Soon, a soldier inside responded.

"Tell you generals that the fourth master is here!" The man outside said in a vibrating voice.

"What fourth master? I don't know him." The soldier curled his lips and said, obviously dissatisfied with what the man said.

"If you are told to pass it on, go, if you go late, be careful of your head!" the man said coldly.

"You..." The soldier who sent the order was a little upset, but hesitated for a while, and finally sent the message with some dissatisfaction.

"General, there is someone outside who claims to be the fourth master and says he is here." The soldier came to the top of the tower and said to the general guarding the city.

The general guarding the city was taking a nap. Hearing what the soldier said at this time, he immediately stood up from his seat and said, "When did you come and where is he?"

The soldier was so excited to see his general, knowing that the general must know him, so he hurriedly said: "The visitor has already arrived outside the city gate."

"Take me there quickly!" The general guarding the city, Jing Yue, said anxiously.

The two hurried to the city gate, Jing Yue said to the outside: "But fourth master?"

"Jing Yue, open the door quickly!" said the man outside.

Hearing what the man said, Jing Yue hurriedly ordered: "Quickly open the city gate."

"General, but now..."

"What's the matter, I'll take care of it!" Jing Yue said impatiently.

With a "squeak", the city gate was slowly opened from the outside.

Jing Yue hastily saluted the visitor and said, "General!"

The person who came was the special general. The special general waved his hand and said to Jing Yue: "There is no need to be polite, time is urgent, hurry up and follow me to rescue you!"

Hearing what the general said, Jing Yue asked, "General, has this trip been successful?"

The special general nodded, and said to Jing Yue: "Fortunately, you have fulfilled your mission, look behind!"

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, everyone was walking in smears, so Jing Yue didn't see everyone hiding in the night at first, but now he followed the general's hand to look carefully, only to find that there was a lot of darkness behind the night There is a large group of people.

"I'll take the time to bring people into the city. Let's divide into two groups. You take people to the palace to rescue him, and I will take people to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The special general ordered.

Jing Yue asked suspiciously: "Is there any danger in the palace?"

The special general pointed to the east, and said: "That location should be the location of the imperial palace. With the smoke billowing in, I think the two sides should have already exchanged fire."

Jing Yue naturally knew that the location of the imperial palace was there, but he didn't expect the cause of the fire. He was suddenly surprised when he heard what the general said at this time.

"Could it be that this group of people is so bold that they dare to rush into the palace?" Jing Yue said in surprise.

The special general nodded and said: "It's not too late, let's take the time to act separately." After a pause, Jing Yue went on to say: "If this matter is done, you will be the master!"

When Jing Yue heard it, his heart was moved. The special general was right. At this time, if he could save Wan Yanliang, it would definitely be a feat. Originally, he wanted to be polite and say that he was going to the prime minister's mansion, but But now he is blunt and dare not change his words.

After explaining, the special general rushed towards the prime minister's mansion with his people.

Jing Yue watched from the side, at first he thought that the special general had only brought in some rescuers, but looking at the long line, Jing Yue realized that the special general had actually brought such rescuers.

So many people gave Jing Yue great confidence, he hurriedly shouted at his guards: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and count the number of people, and follow me to save you!"

This is the time to make great contributions. If you go late, you will have no chance.

The special general galloped all the way with a team of more than [-] people, in order not to expose himself prematurely.This group of people didn't light torches at all, but when they arrived in the capital, even if they didn't turn on the torches, the light shining through every house would have no effect at this time.

"What are you looking at? Go back!" Some came out to watch out of curiosity when they heard the voice. At this time, they were seen by the special general, and they were yelled back.

"The head of the house? What happened outside?" a woman said softly.

"I don't know, there are soldiers everywhere!" the man said softly.

"Soldiers? Here, there won't be another war, right?" the woman said with a worried expression.

"Just fight, what do we care about?" the man said indifferently.

"Why don't you care about our affairs? If there are too many people who die, if you want to be recruited again, you will probably go." The woman said leisurely.

After the man heard this, his expression darkened, and he said, "I don't know when this day will be the end!"

……

The special general led a group of soldiers to march quickly to the residence of Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai.

Wanyan Sagai also didn't rest at the mansion. Tonight's event is so important that it is impossible for him to calm down and sleep peacefully.

At this time, a guard from the Prime Minister's Mansion hurried in and said loudly, "Master...Master, it's not good, we're coming outside, and there are a lot of people here."

"Who?" Wanyan Sagai frowned and said.

"They are... all soldiers." The man said a little excitedly.

"A soldier?" Wanyan Sagai frowned and said, "But who is the leader?"

"The one who took the lead seems to be the one who came to our house last time!" The man said softly.

"What? General?" Wanyan Sagai felt an ominous premonition from the bottom of his heart when he heard the name.
