Chapter 240 Breaking the city

Although the emperor wanted to wait for the prince's reply, he was disappointed. The prince gave him a reply at this time, but it was not what he wanted. "I feel that I have done nothing wrong. I am just a successful king and a defeated bandit. Historically, my father was forced to seize the throne."

There are fewer emperors, and Gu is just defeated. If he succeeds in seizing the throne, Gu will also be a wise king of the generation."

When the emperor heard his answer, he was completely disappointed. The sadness in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by the coldness of a king. He turned to Jia Ke and ordered: "Attack the city immediately without delay, and catch this traitor for me.

"

Jia Ke received the emperor's order and did not dare to neglect it. He immediately ordered his soldiers to start attacking the city. In fact, it was said to be an attack on the city, but it was just a show. He and Dai Quan had already discussed the secret code yesterday. As long as Jia Ke attacked the city, he would

The spies in the city immediately opened the city gate. The cavalry led by Jia Ke rushed into the city and controlled the city gate. Then the army entered the city and wiped out the prince's deployment in one fell swoop.

The soldiers on Jia Ke's side let out a roar, carrying various siege equipment such as ladders, rams, and pointed wooden donkeys. The rams began to rush toward the city wall of the capital. In order to reduce casualties, Jia Ke also sent out longbowmen. These longbowmen shot out

The arrows shot even further than the arrows fired downwards from the city top. It can effectively suppress the bows and arrows on the city top and reduce one's own casualties.

The other six Jiedu envoys could not just watch at this time, so they also sent their own elite troops to cooperate with Jia Ke and began to attack the city.

When Jia Ke saw that they had sent elite troops to attack the city, he began to gather his troops and asked long archers to cooperate with them under the city. Others began to assemble, ready to seize the city at any time.

Huo Tu, the Minister of War on the city, immediately said to the prince: "At present, the soldiers on the city are fierce and dangerous. Please take shelter under the city. Wait until I have defeated the emperor, and then report to the prince."

Although the prince has some abilities, he has grown up in a deep palace and has never seen such a scene. He has already started to beat the drum in his heart, but he knows that he must not retreat at this critical moment, otherwise his military morale will be lost.

"Huo Aiqing, it doesn't have to be like this. Now is the critical moment. All the soldiers are fighting bloody battles. How can I hide behind and let the soldiers down?"

After the prince said these words, he ordered his personal guards to join the team defending the city. He himself stood at the highest point of the city tower so that all the soldiers could see that he did not hide and was still on the city with them.

advance and retreat.

Huo Tu saw that the prince was so wise at the last moment, and he became somewhat confident that he could defeat the emperor this time.

Seeing that the Dao Prince had made up his mind, Huo Tu began to pay attention to the situation below the city. He had been the Minister of War for so many years and was quite capable in military matters. When he saw that the Dao Emperor sent troops to attack the city, he immediately ordered his sergeants to start defending.

So rolling logs, thunder and stones were thrown down like a rain from the city. Although the six Jiedu envoys below the city had many siege equipment, they suffered a lot from this wave of attacks.

At this time, the long archers sent by Jia Ke behind them began to exert their power. In an instant, 10,000 arrows flew towards the top of the city. The defending soldiers on the city were immediately hit by this wave of arrows and suffered heavy losses.

These people had never thought that bows and arrows could fly so far. They had no defense at all, and they did not send heavy crossbows to suppress the English longbows.

At that time, Xie Hu on the top of the city saw this situation and understood that if these long archers were not suppressed, his city would soon be breached.

So Xie Hu came to Huo Tu and said: "Sir, the bows and arrows of those long archers can fly very far away. I saw it in the battle with the Tatars a few days ago. We must suppress them immediately."

.”

Hotu thought for a moment, and immediately ordered catapults and heavy crossbows to begin attacking the English longbowmen. This time, the longbowmen received an overwhelming blow and had to retreat temporarily to avoid greater casualties.

At this time, the elite soldiers of the six Jiedushi under the city began to suffer heavy losses. Huo Tu also smiled with satisfaction when he saw this situation. This time, the emperor's army would definitely suffer heavy losses and had to retreat in the end. Both sides finally

It's still a negotiation.

Just when the two sides were fighting bloody battles on the top of the city, refusing to give in to each other, and neither could do anything to the other, they saw the Desheng Gate of the capital suddenly opened with a rumble.

When Jia Ke saw this situation, he didn't know that the spy inside had succeeded. It seemed that Dai Quan was really thinking twice, and he didn't even know when he sent the news.

Now was not the time to think about this. Jia Ke took the ten thousand cavalry that had been prepared and headed straight for the city gate on Pegasus.

The prince on the top of the city was frightened when he saw the city gate being opened. His original plan was to have a stalemate with the emperor in the capital, forcing the emperor to run out of food and grass, and finally had to agree to his terms. This would at least save his life.

As well as wealth and honor, even if the emperor doesn't respond in the end, he can wait until the emperor is exhausted and fight out of the siege. He can live a peaceful life incognito in the south of the Yangtze River, and even have the opportunity to rise up. With his status as the prince, he can one day regain power.

.

But the idea was shattered now. Someone actually opened the city gate of the capital. He was also panicked and didn't know what to do. He could only stay there in a daze.

At this time, Huo Tu was still relatively clear-headed and knew that the situation was critical. He hurriedly said to several generals under the command of Liaodong Jiedu Shi, "Go quickly, lead the troops to block the city gate, and drive these people out."

However, these people did not follow his orders. Instead, they looked at each other and stepped forward together to tie up the prince and Huo Tu, as well as Xie Hu and Zhang Chi.

Only then did the prince react and yelled at them loudly: "You think you will be safe if you kidnap me. You have already participated in the rebellion. My father will never let you go. If you have sense, let me go as soon as possible."

Then block the city gate. We still have a glimmer of hope."

As a result, one of the generals said: "Prince, it's too late now. I saw clearly just now that it was Jia Ke who rushed to seize the city gate, and he also brought countless cavalry. With our martial arts, how can we stop him?"

He? For the sake of our service for you, let us take credit from you to save our own lives."

Huo Tu was tied up at this time, but he was very unwilling to do so. He said to these generals: "You are just afraid of Jia Ke's martial arts. I don't believe that he has three heads and six arms. Are you afraid that you will not be his opponent when we go together? Wait until these people are defeated."

Drive out of the city. As time goes by, they will inevitably retreat. And the prince can occupy at least half of the country. Each of you is the founding father of the country."

Just as he said this, someone shouted: "I'm afraid it's a little late for you to say these words. If it were before the siege, they might still listen to you. Now, you still have these illusions. It's really

It’s ridiculous.”

The prince and Huo Tu turned around and saw that Jia Ke had led his men to the city tower and surrounded the city. The soldiers on the city had put down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender to Jia Ke and the others.

When the Liaodong generals saw this situation, they quickly stepped forward, knelt down and said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, we don't really want to rebel. We are all following the orders of Jiedushi Xie Hu. Now we have

Capture the prince and Huo Tu, and ask the general to spare our lives for the sake of our merits."

"Spare your lives, I can't make the decision. It depends on the emperor's wishes." After Jia Ke said this, he ordered the soldiers around him: "Someone will tie up all these people. They will be punished by the emperor later."

The surrounding soldiers immediately swarmed up, tied the generals tightly one by one, and then were taken down. At this time, only Jia Ke and a few of his soldiers were left near the head.

Jia Ke walked up to the prince and looked at him condescendingly. The prince seemed to have given up and looked at Jia Ke angrily. Jia Ke said to him slowly: "Your Highness, don't blame me. In the end, the emperor is still the emperor in this world."

Yes, Your Highness will succeed in the end, and you will be reviled by everyone in the world. How many emperors who forced their fathers to usurp the throne from ancient times to the present have had a good ending? Your Highness is still too young, and I am afraid that he was bewitched by the deployment, and he suffered in front of the emperor for a while.

If you pray, the emperor will definitely consider the love between father and son and give you a gentle sentence."

The prince was already in despair and thought that he would definitely die this time. Now after hearing Jia Ke's words, he seemed to have found a glimmer of hope. He looked at Jia Ke deeply. He didn't say anything else, he just gritted his teeth and said it.

One sentence, "You are very good. You are indeed a descendant of Rongguofu. Without you, I might have succeeded."

Jia Ke replied expressionlessly: "Even if there is no Jia Ke, there will be others who are loyal to the emperor. Even if His Highness succeeds, the world will be in chaos from now on, which will only damage the vitality of our Central Plains and allow the Tatars to take advantage of it. The prince is indeed true this time

It’s a mistake.”

When the prince heard what he said, he couldn't help but sneer: "If I don't do this, I'm afraid the final outcome won't be much better."

Jia Ke didn't want to discuss this matter with him anymore. After all, it was a royal matter and he couldn't easily get involved too deeply.

Jia Ke turned back to look at Huo Tu next to him. Huo Tu was now in a state of embarrassment. The black gauze on his head had disappeared and the official robe on his body had been torn to pieces. He still looked like a great Sima of the dynasty.

Jia Ke hated Huo Tu more than anyone else. If he hadn't killed King Beijing, things wouldn't have reached this point. And King Beijing took great care of him, Jia Ke. No matter what he did to others, Jia Ke would never have been like this.

Ke can also be regarded as a kind elder.

Jia Ke ordered his men to take away the prince and Huo Tu and imprison them until the emperor's fate was revealed.

After Jia Ke went down to the city, he ordered his troops to clear out the army of Liaodong Jiedushi. Outside the city, people from all walks of life began to enter the city one after another. In just one day, he took over Liaodong Jiedushi and the rebel Imperial Army and infantry.

The Yamen's troops were all under control.

At this time, every house in the capital was closed for fear of intruders. Jia Ke was worried about the safety of Ningrong's second mansion, so he asked his confidant Ma Zuo to lead a thousand cavalry to protect Ningrong's second mansion to prevent them from being invaded by the rebels.

of harassment.

It was not until the morning of the next day that all the turmoil in the capital subsided, but the army still blocked the nine gates and no one could enter or exit. The streets were also heavily guarded to prevent rebellion. All officials were required to stay at home and wait.
