Although the three major battalions can defend and attack, they are currently not suitable for siege.
As King Xiang said, the Imperial City was not that easy to conquer, but with Jonathan following him there, he really wasn't too worried about these problems.
Because time was so short, Lin Chong had no time to find someone to teach Jonathan in detail after he brought back Jonathan's set of artillery. Jonathan had to go into battle himself, and the Ministry of Industry rushed out a batch of daggers and bows. It was just a small change, but
The combat effectiveness of the three major battalions has risen sharply.
The three Dong Fang brothers admired the Qiao brother who descended from the sky. However, they had been attacking the city for several hours and still found nothing. Seeing that the encirclement from two sides was gradually forming, they were about to be in danger of being attacked from both sides.
"Brother Qiao, this is not the way to go. This city gate won't be captured for a while."
Jonathan was silent for a while and then replied slowly: "Waiting for a while."
Just when the battle between the two sides was getting fierce, more than a dozen soldiers wearing King Xiang's army also climbed onto the city wall.
The generals who were guarding the city were well prepared and were highly nervous. They did not notice anything wrong with this group of people. When the first scream sounded around them, everyone's nerves seemed to have been severely pulled, and they were at a loss.
Look around.
It turned out that the group of soldiers who sneaked in were disguised as the Jin Yiwei led by Wang Chengen. At this moment, after climbing the city wall, they eliminated the soldiers guarding the city as quickly as possible, opened the city gate and let people in.
As soon as the city gate opened, the three major battalions were like an unstoppable flood, and it was impossible to stop it. A desperate struggle was also launched on the city wall. Wang Chengen brought with him all martial arts masters with one against ten, and they occupied the favorable terrain. Hou Xiang Wang
The people were unable to attack again for a while.
After the three major battalions all rushed in, there was no point in fighting for control of the city gate. The three major battalions had a clear goal and headed straight for the emperor's palace, and Wang Chengen rushed back at the lead.
King Xiang tore off his usual hypocritical mask and revealed his fierce look. He pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed towards Lin Chong.
Lin Chong dodged away, took a few steps to a corner, and got what he was looking for with a flick of his hand. It was the low-profile pistol that had saved him once before. Lin Chong also named this thing Liu Guang, and after a while
The fire left your life behind.
King Xiang was stunned for a moment when he saw what Lin Chong was holding. In just a moment, Lin Chong had already punched out the object, hitting King Xiang's left shoulder.
Although the streamer is powerful, it is only a low-end weapon after all. The gunpowder inside can only be used once, and it needs to cool down for a long time before it can be used again. Therefore, this thing can only be used to save lives.
Wang Chengen opened the door and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
As soon as they came in, they saw Lin Chong standing in a corner unharmed, and Prince Xiang holding his shoulders and rolling on the ground. It looked like he was seriously injured.
"Tie him up. What's going on with the rebels outside?" Several imperial guards behind Wang Chengen came over and firmly restrained King Xiang who was still rolling on the ground.
"Prince Xiang, I have told you before that to shoot a man first shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. Why can't you learn such a simple truth?"
King Xiang was captured, and the morale of the army was in chaos. The three major battalions took control of the situation like a fish in water, and control of the imperial city returned to Lin Chong's hands.
King Xiang roared viciously: "It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible for me to lose. I represent God's will and the people's will."
Lin Chong couldn't help but want to roll his eyes again. Big brother, you are too good at adding drama to yourself. What you represent is God's will or the people's will. Did some god in the sky make you rebel, or did the people petition you to send troops? I have ambitions.
It's no big deal, if you lose, you lose, why lose so ugly.
"Since King Xiang has made up his mind, he should be ready to bear the consequences of failure!" Lin Chong looked directly at the embarrassed King Xiang.
"I don't understand where I lost?" King Xiang's eyes were about to burst.
Lin Chong sighed: "If you want to say where you lost, it's probably because you misjudged the strength of the three major battalions and unrealistically raised your own strength, so you're here now."
"You never thought about asking the Ministry of War to mobilize troops, did you?"
"Of course, it's just a show. If we really let the Ministry of War go, there's no telling when we can come back? Do you really think that I ambush someone outside the city in advance?"
King Xiang seemed to understand something suddenly: "It was Zhou Ze. He was the one who told me about the changes in the Ministry of War and asked me to disperse our troops. It was he who kept hinting that I was not afraid of the weak strength of the three major battalions. He was the one who harmed me!"
Lin Chong nodded: "Not only that, he also told King Zhenxiang that you bribed the people from the Ministry of Rites to take action during the sacrifice."
King Xiang's eyes widened: "How is that possible? I clearly sent people to monitor him closely, and he also took medicine in front of me... Unless he doesn't want to live anymore..."
Lin Chong suppressed the ominous premonition in his heart: "Can you tell me where Zhou Ze is?"
"Where is it? It's interesting, Your Majesty, don't you know everything about Wu Yi Ce? Why do your good ministers ask me where I am? Since he is seeking death himself, he can't blame others."
Lin Chong frowned: "What do you mean?"
King Xiang sneered and stopped talking.
Lin Chong also understood that King Xiang's intention from the beginning was to make Zhou Ze a scapegoat.
He wants to find an important minister of the Ministry of Rites to implement his plan during the sacrifice. When his plan is really successful, he will also give a formal explanation to the ministers and the people of the world, and then he will use his collaborator
After launching it and cutting it a hundred times, Zhou Ze was the one he thought was the most suitable.
Of course Zhou Ze himself understands this truth. If he agrees to cooperate with King Xiang, the final result will be that he will be pushed out as a scapegoat regardless of success or failure. If he does not agree to King Xiang, he will continue to coerce and lure other people, so he might as well do it himself.
.
The most important point is that he must give His Majesty a chance to expose King Xiang's hypocrisy in person, so that he can be punished in a logical manner.
If it were anyone else's fault, it would be difficult to control it. If King Xiang refused to believe him, the three camps would surely lose many lives and pay a greater price.
Zhou Ze considered all the consequences, and finally agreed to cooperate with King Xiang to become his internal agent. He was not left-handed, but he deliberately exposed the birthmark on his left hand for others to see, making himself appear frequently in confessions.
He did tell Prince Xiang a lot of information to gain his trust. Of course, he was able to gain his trust. The most important thing was that Zhou Ze swallowed the mother-child poison in front of him.
