Zhang Yi can feel that the most difficult moment has passed.
He personally sent the father and daughter back to the basement.
"Can Shi Gandang and Niu Ben arrive today?" King Liu Kai asked.
"Before dark, Shi Gandang will arrive with four thousand warriors, and tomorrow morning, Niu Ben will lead another four thousand warriors." Zhang Yi replied.
The Mopan City warriors stationed in Jiyuan City will arrive first after two days of urgent march, while the Mopan City warriors stationed in Songjiazhai will arrive later. Zhang Yi knows that this is the fastest speed. .
"Greater China and Little China will not take advantage of the chaos to attack us, right?" Princess Xiaoliu asked a serious question.
King Liu Kai also had this concern. The father and daughter thought about it together and looked at Zhang Yi worriedly. At this moment, Zhang Yi was undoubtedly the pillar of old China.
"Father, don't worry, Xiaoliu doesn't have to worry too much. I have been paying attention to the dynamics of the two families. They are engaged in a tug-of-war on a battlefield that lasts hundreds of miles and have no time to take care of us." Zhang Yi comforted the two with a smile, "Wait for them Paying attention to the situation in the northwest, we have suppressed the rebellion and made all preparations to meet foreign enemies."
"Thank you for your hard work, adopted son." King Liu Kai smiled and nodded, patting his beloved son-in-law on the shoulder affectionately. Now the important responsibility of the country rests on one person.
"Yi Ge, take care of yourself!" Princess Xiaoliu shouted with tears in her eyes.
Zhang Yi nodded, turned around and walked out.
Under the bombing of catapults, the palace was almost reduced to ruins. Bricks, porcelain and furniture shattered by stone bombs were scattered on the ground, and the walls were covered with spider web-like cracks. Huge holes were exposed in the roof, and wooden beams were damaged by the fire. Blackened.
Zhang Yi walked among the rubble, suppressing his anger. The hard work of many people was destroyed by careerists overnight. He must make those guys pay the heaviest price.
…
Outside the palace, Xiaolong, Xiao Han and Wang Zheng came to greet them.
"Yi Ge, I just went to check. The China Bank was damaged, but the vault was intact. They couldn't open the heavy iron door." Xiao Han reported the good news.
"Brother Yi, I stood on a high place and looked through the binoculars. The people began to organize resistance and it spread all over the city. The people support us." Xiaolong also brought good news.
"Many families are mobilizing, but those guys are just dawdling. I think they are still waiting and watching," General Wang Zheng was very angry and lowered his voice. "They know that the king's condition is serious, and they also know that Wu Rui and Liu Guang Collusion, thinking we would ultimately fail."
Indeed, judging from the current situation, the enemy has an absolute advantage.
Once Liu Guangda's army arrives, the people's resistance will be broken down, the rebels' arrogance will rise again, and it will be difficult for the palace to hold on.
Chang'an City is located in the heart of the kingdom. It has been peaceful for many years and there is no possibility of war. Therefore, the number of garrison troops in this city is very small. Moreover, they have long been bribed by Wu Rui and participated in the rebellion.
At present, only the three major families, Wang family, Zhang family and Liu family, firmly support the royal family, while other families are waiting and watching. They have also given themselves sufficient excuses, that is, they do not have weapons.
There are many crises and great pressure.
Zhang Yi thought for a moment, with a confident smile on his face and said loudly.
"Wu Rui thought he was sure of victory, but this cunning old fox didn't realize that we still have a trump card. They are holding back and waiting for Liu Guang's arrival, then we should take action. Brothers, annihilate Wu Rui's traitor in one battle today!"
The brothers laughed loudly. We seemed to be standing in the darkest valley, but we had the power to turn things around. Our trump card was the brave and invincible Mopan City warriors.
Zhang Yi summoned the leaders, Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Wang Zheng, Liu Zhu, Liu Zhong, Liu Cheng, Wang Xi and Zhang He to make new arrangements.
Liu Zhu, Liu Zhong, Liu Cheng, Wang Xi, Zhang He and others led 500 imperial troops and more than 10,000 young and middle-aged men to guard the palace, including the nearby treasury.
Xiaolong and Xiao Han led five hundred imperial troops to strictly guard the palace basement to ensure the safety of the king and princess.
Zhang Yi and Wang Zheng led two thousand imperial troops to fight out, took a circuitous route to confuse the enemy, and then went straight to the east gate of Chang'an to meet the warriors of Mopan City.
The enemy would never have thought that we could take the initiative to attack at this time, and Zhang Yi would attract their main force. It would be best to take them outside the city. Then the Mopan City warriors can annihilate them in the field.
"Today's battle will determine the fate of the country. You must do your best. Those guarding the position must not go out without permission. Those who go out as guerrillas must not be reluctant to fight. All actions must obey the command," Zhang Yi warned. "After quelling the rebellion, we will concentrate our efforts.
To deal with Liu Guang, please believe that victory does not depend on the number of people, but on who is more united, who is more brave, and who is more moral!"
The leaders drew their swords and swore to heaven that they would obey Zhang Yi's orders and protect the king, and they would fight to the death and annihilate all the rebels.
Seeing the powerful momentum of the leaders, Zhang Yi knew that victory was within his grasp.
Two thousand soldiers of the Royal Forest Army took action, each carrying a crossbow, equipped with fifty arrows, long and short horizontal knives and a spear, and fed the war horses with enough fodder.
Zhang Yi went to the basement again, reported the action plan to his father, and hugged Xiaoliu to say goodbye. Seeing Zhang Yi's firm and calm look, the father and daughter did not have too much worry. At this time, what filled everyone's hearts was the thought of
The resentment of the rebels and the belief in victory!
Liu Zhu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, and others ordered those left behind to carry sandbags and corpses and open a large gap in the defensive position.
The rebels were dumbfounded and didn't know what the other party wanted to do. Someone informed Wu Rui, who was observing from the wooden building and judged that the other party wanted to break out.
"Hehehe," Wu Rui sneered and said to the generals, "Where are they going if they want to escape? The kingdom is already under my control. Generals, go and intercept the enemies. Don't let any of them go. Especially Zhang Yi.
That boy, don't let him run back to Mopan City!"
The generals took the order and organized the rebels to gather at the gap. For a moment, there was a crowd of people, weapons intertwined like a forest, and the shouts were deafening.
It was this moment that Zhang Yi had been waiting for. Zhang Yi stepped onto Jueying, bent down close to its ear, and murmured a few words. That was the communication between Zhang Yi and his beloved horse.
General Wang Zheng got on his horse and smiled when he saw this scene: "Brother Yi, Jueying seems to be able to understand what you are saying."
"Yes, it knows what I'm talking about. In fact, it is smarter, loyal and braver than many people." Zhang Yi laughed loudly, and then issued a battle order, "Warriors, charge with me and kill one of the enemies.
Leave no trace behind!"
"roar!"
Two thousand imperial guards raised their weapons and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Zhang Yi took the lead, holding a Panlong stick, and rushed towards the gap. When he saw the rebels crowded together, he had a look of horror on his face.
"kill!"
Zhang Yi shouted and swung the stick down, causing blood to fly three feet away.
