The attack on Wenhua Palace was a huge overturn from the beginning. Jiang Bin and others thought that the number of enemies in Wenhua Palace was only a few hundred at most. After all, Zhang Yanling only had a dozen personal guards and several soldiers when he evacuated from Fengtian Palace.
Ten Dongchang fans followed, with a maximum of more than a hundred people.
However, when the Jinyi Guards Colonel's attack began, Jiang Bin was dumbfounded by the situation.
In the direction of the main hall, when thousands of captains were attacking along the steps to the base of the Wenhua Hall, they were attacked by intensive firearms. The gunmen hiding behind the stone railing at the base of the Wenhua Hall and on the corridor on the second floor used violent sniper fire.
The shooting made the arrogant imperial guards understand what it meant to be unable to move even an inch.
The original text comes from Yuta Reading Xiao-Shuo
The captains only rushed up the stone steps for more than twenty steps. Every step forward cost dozens of lives and injuries. They originally rushed up screaming, but after the roar of the firearms, the people around them fell to the steps one after another.
There are only a few people left, so how can you dare to attack?
Rows of captains were knocked down like mowing grass, and bullets from close range shot through their armor. There seemed to be no wounds, but the armor was already dripping with blood. The wounds that penetrated the flesh were bleeding gurglingly.
It flowed down the body. In a short time, the stone steps of Wenhua Hall turned into long bloody steps dripping with blood.
Jiang Bin believed that the opponent's firearms were all arranged in the front, so he forcibly held on and refused to retreat. At the same time, he ordered the captain's soldiers and horses on the north side of Wenhua Hall to storm the library of the annex building on the north side of Wenhua Hall.
This library is a standard building of the East Palace. It contains all kinds of books and pictures from the classics and history. Because the prince of the East Palace will inherit the throne in the future, he needs to read more and learn more about governing the country before practicing Zuo. Therefore, there are various books for the prince to study.
study.
The Library Pavilion is three stories high, like a small palace. It is connected to the main hall of Wenhua Hall by high walls, with a garden pond in the middle. It is actually equivalent to the north portal of Wenhua Hall.
If you capture the Cangshuge Pavilion, you will be equivalent to capturing the back side of the Wenhua Hall. Because although the foundation of Wenhua Hall is high, the stone steps and stone railings are basically on the front and sides, while the rear part is the same height as the Cangshuge Pavilion.
It is one. Moreover, the library has a high height. Once it is occupied, you can attack the enemies inside from a high position.
Jiang Bin believed that due to the fierce firepower in the front hall, there must not be many people defending the Cangshuge Pavilion. So he ordered more than 500 captains to launch a fierce attack on the Cangshuge Pavilion, intending to break through the Wenhua Hall from the back side.
However, his calculation was miscalculated. As soon as the five hundred captains approached the gatehouse on the north wall of the library, a barrage of bullets came down. The rear passage was narrow and not as open as the square in the front hall. The captains were crowded together, like a group of
Like a pig trapped in a pen, there is nowhere to escape.
After a heavy bombardment, only two hundred people fled in panic. More than three hundred captains were killed on the spot. The corpses were piled up in the alley behind the library. In less than a stick of incense, the front and rear halls were filled with corpses.
All the attacks failed. More than 2,000 Jinyi guardsmen were killed and more than 600 wounded, but they could not even attack the top of the base of Wenhua Hall.
Yang Ting's face was ashen with anger, and he scolded Jiang Bin angrily: "Incompetent person, didn't you say you were ready? Why is it like this?"

Jiang Bin was furious, but he could only explain helplessly: "There are definitely more than a hundred people in the Wenhua Hall. I don't know when Zhang Yanling got so many people. There are at least a thousand people, and they all have firearms. It's not that they are humble.
Work hard.”
Yang Tinghe said angrily: "How can he have so many people? When did he enter the palace? Aren't your people guarding the palace gate? This is your dereliction of duty."
Jiang Bin was speechless, and there was no way to refute this. In this situation, someone must have rebelled and let Zhang Yanling's men enter the palace. But there was actually nothing that could be done.
With Jiang Bin's ability, it is impossible to completely control all the soldiers and horses belonging to the entire Jinyiwei Yamen. He did not rely on military merit and prestige to get to the position, and he is not a person who responds to everything in the Jinyiwei Yamen. In the past few years, he has indeed placed many people.
There are only a few people, but the composition of Jinyiwei's personnel is complex, and many people cannot move at all, or dare not forcibly replace them. This means that he cannot fully control the entire Jinyiwei Yamen.
Recently, I raided and replaced a group of Qianhu in the Qianhu Office and appointed a group of desperadoes loyal to me, but it was too late to solve the problem of the middle and lower-level Baihu banner officials. There are people here who are cheating and dissatisfied. That is for sure.
It is inevitable that someone in the Jinyiwei Han General's camp would hook up with outsiders. These are actually things that we all know well, but because the time is too urgent, we cannot handle them thoroughly.
"Master Chief Assistant, what's the use of what you're saying now? If you scold your subordinates to solve the problem, then you can just scold them. I've tried my best even if I'm subordinate. It's not the problem of my subordinates that this happened. Didn't you say at the beginning,
After the new emperor ascends the throne, everything is under control. Now, the new emperor...is on their side, and we are going to fight Zhang Yanling. This is all unexpected." Jiang Bin smacked his lips.
Yang Tinghe didn't want to argue with Jiang Bin, and he didn't have time to argue about these things. He sighed and asked, "What should we do now? How to capture this place?"
Jiang Bin said: "They have ferocious firearms. The two thousand captains are soldiers and horses from Qianhu Station outside. They are very unorganized and have poor equipment. To attack by force, we have to mobilize the Han general camp. They are well equipped and can still
There is an iron shield to prevent fire. I think that they can only attack. Anyway, the palace gate does not need to be guarded by too many soldiers and horses now, so it is useless to put it at the palace gate."
Yang Tinghe shouted: "Why don't you send the order quickly? What are you waiting for?"
Jiang Bin cursed in his heart and sent people to the Meridian Gate and Xihua Gate to deliver orders. The two inner palace gates were guarded by captains from the Jinyiwei Dahan General Camp, and half of their troops were mobilized to reinforce the offensive force of Wenhua Palace.

It must be said that the equipment of the Jinyiwei Han General's camp is indeed the best. Not only do they have the best armor and weapons, but they are also equipped with large iron shields and powerful bows and crossbows. As the emperor's personal bodyguard, they naturally use the best in everything.
.
After more than a thousand Han generals and camp captains arrived, Jiang Bin ordered a shield formation to be formed with large shields to cover the archers and crossbowmen and shoot random arrows to suppress them. Then the captains would launch the attack. This was actually routine.
In terms of siege tactics, Jiang Bin has attacked Wenhua Palace as a city.
It has to be said that the effect is immediate. Bullets from the cannon cannot penetrate the large iron shield. It is a large shield made of double layers of fine iron sandwiched between cardboard, which has very good protection. Steel ball bullets can only penetrate the first layer of iron.
It was trapped in the sandwiched cardboard. Moreover, the dense rivets on the large shield made the shield structure stronger. Unlike ordinary wooden shields, although they had protective capabilities, they would burst under intensive strikes.
The dense suppression of bows and arrows also had a countermeasure effect, preventing gunners from shooting unscrupulously. Especially the repeating crossbows equipped in the Han general camp can be fired continuously within a hundred steps. A box of crossbow arrows can be fired continuously, although the power is
Average, but definitely a powerful weapon to suppress the enemy.
Under the cover of large shields and bows and arrows, a large number of school lieutenants approached the top of the Wenhua Hall base step by step. As long as they entered hand-to-hand combat, firearms were useless, and the numerical advantage of the Jinyi Guards would immediately appear.
However, when they were within a few dozen steps, what was waiting for them was a small golden melon falling from the sky. No matter how thorough the protection was, they could not prevent the golden melon thunder falling at their feet. This was officially used by Zhang Yanling to attack enemies at short and medium distances.
sharp weapon.
The smoking Jingua Lei exploded under the feet, and the dense shield array collapsed instantly. The blast of air caused flesh and blood to fly in the air, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere accompanied by heart-rending screams. The scene
Horrible.
The gunners started shooting again, harvesting lives in the chaos. This time, Jiang Bin took the initiative and decisively ordered an immediate retreat. Fortunately, he retreated in time, and successfully retreated after suffering more than 400 casualties.
Yang Tinghe stared at everything in front of him, stunned and speechless. He was a civil servant, and he had never experienced a real battle. He had never seen the scene of corpses and bloody flesh in front of him, and he felt dizzy and dizzy in his heart.
Waves of nausea.
He finally understood why Zhang Yanling had been invincible and accomplished many feats for so many years. He could face powerful enemies and win them. He had so many murderous weapons in his hands, which subverted his own understanding.

Zhang Yanling stood on the high terrace with his arms akimbo, his black cloak rustling in the wind. Zhang Yanling's eyes penetrated the space of hundreds of steps to look at Yang Tinghe who was standing at the end of the square, his eyes full of contempt. Guards in golden clothes were on horseback.
It is simply wishful thinking for this group of rabble to compete with the elite of their navy in a frontal battle. Not to mention that they only have more than 3,000 troops in front and behind them. Even if they have twice as many troops, they will never be able to break through the Wenhua Palace.
"Your Majesty, is there a fire in the inner palace?" Chen Shiyi suddenly reported.
Zhang Yanling turned around and looked, and saw flames shooting into the sky and black smoke billowing from the direction of the inner palace. Zhang Yanling was a little shocked. The direction of the fire was northwest of Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, which was the direction of Yanxi Palace.
At this moment, Huo Shijian, who was guarding the Library Pavilion, came to report that the location of the Library Pavilion was clearly visible. The angle of the telescope was just right, and he saw that the Yanxi Palace in the inner palace was on fire.
Zhang Yanling was shocked and had an ominous premonition in his heart. But he did not dare to dwell on it or think about the worst. He only hoped that his second sister would be fine. Zhang Yanling knew that Yang Tinghe would not dare to hurt the Queen Mother no matter what.
In the corner of the square below, a chamberlain rushed over and reported to Yang Tinghe that the Yanxi Palace was on fire and that the Queen Mother had perished in the sea of fire. Yang Tinghe was also shocked and was speechless for a long time. Queen Mother Zhang was such a strong person that she actually set fire to it.
He set himself on fire. But Yang Tinghe soon became angry.
"The bitch still refuses to cooperate with me after all. As a result, without her identity to use, things will be more troublesome. The bitch made me waste several years after all."
Yang Tinghe decided to use the identity of Queen Mother Zhang for the last time. He once again stepped forward under the protection of the shield hand and shouted to Zhang Yanling.
"Zhang Yanling, let me tell you some unfortunate news. There was a fire in the Yanxi Palace of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was burned by the fire and she is now dying. She wants to see you. I allow you to visit. Let's stop fighting for the time being. You can go see the Queen Mother.
.”
When Zhang Yanling heard this, her face turned pale, and she glared for a long time. Then she suddenly felt heartbroken, screamed, and fainted to the ground.
