Turbulent Times Chapter 1285: Tricky

The new capital of Luoyang has only been established for a few years, but the scale, height and fortification of this imperial city are much stronger than any imperial city in Kyoto in history.

At this time, there was no one to be seen on the streets of the entire Luoyang City, especially on the avenue leading directly to the imperial city, which was even more deserted and palpitating.

"No matter where those people from Xianyinmen are hiding," Shen Guoer rode behind Wang Junlin and said, "But the Spring and Autumn Messenger and those people have not escaped so far, and they must still want to make trouble. Controlled by the Tianmei Sect, they have secretly developed forces in the Central Plains over the years, and there are many believers. The saint of the Saintess Sect is the Tianmei Sect master Yuehu. With her charming power, she is recognized by many foolish people as a goddess. Existence, although it is stupid people's opinion, but if you control these people to cause chaos in the city, it will be troublesome."

Wang Junlin frowned and said, "You mean that Yuehu and others will control a large number of people to create chaos in the city."

Shen Guoer nodded solemnly.

Wang Junlin sighed, if the opponent hides a strong army, or even a large number of experts, he is not afraid, but if the opponent controls a large number of innocent people to deal with him, and these people are obsessed with obsession, then this matter will be handled easily very troublesome.

Wang Junlin knew very well that with Tianmei Sect's abilities, the followers of the Saintess Sect might be very extreme, and there might be quite a few fanatics in the legend.

And the identities of these believers are common people, so they cannot be killed, but if they are not killed... this kind of thing is like a snowfall...

"You lead people to secretly control, as long as there are people in Luoyang City who are suspected of being plotted by the Saintess Sect or other forces to cause chaos, kill their leaders directly, and the people who are obsessed with obsession... Try not to hurt them." Wang Junlin pondered for a while , sighed and said, thinking that he could only take one step at a time, this was the first time he encountered such a thing, but there are many examples for future generations to refer to.

……

……

Li Zixiong frowned tightly, standing on the imperial city, condescendingly watching the movement of the entire capital, and analyzing in his heart if Wang Junlin attacked the imperial city, what should he do next to defend it, next to him was Prince Yang of the Sui Dynasty. Wu obediently, begged Li Zixiong to allow him to go down from the city.

The three emperors and grandsons next to them, Yan Wang Yang Tan, Yue Wang Yang Tong, and Dai Wang Yang You, although their faces were pale and panicked, they gritted their teeth firmly and did not do anything that would damage the majesty of the royal family. .

Of course, this has something to do with the three emperors' grandsons believing that King Qin An would never leave them alone. On the other hand, Prince Yang Hao was just the opposite. He was worried that he was standing on the top of the wall, and Wang Junlin immediately had him shot to death.

"You trash, if you continue to make noise, believe it or not, I will kill you right now." Li Zixiong glanced at Yang Hao in disgust, and shouted unceremoniously.

"I..." Yang Hao's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground, but Li Zixiong didn't even look at him anymore. Two soldiers next to him dragged Yang Hao aside, and forced him to stand on the imperial city wall prominent position on the

Li Zixiong has already ordered the eunuchs and maids in the palace to demolish several turrets of the imperial city, and obtain a large amount of stones and heavy wood, which will be used to defend the city later. Then let the eunuchs in the palace dismantle several rockeries in the palace, and put them on a cart beside the gate of the imperial city.

On weekdays, only one of the three palace gates in the imperial city will be opened, but when Wang Junlin attacks, of course he will not choose only one. Li Zixiong is going to use artificial rocks to block these three palace gates .

Keeping the enemy out of the palace and trapping oneself in the palace is the so-called tenacious defense. Li Zixiong sighed, and right now he could only pin his hopes on whether those people outside the city would make a big mess.

…

…

At this time, the morning sun has risen, and the red light shines on the vermilion palace wall, and then reflects it out, covering the entire palace city and a large square in front of it in a warm color, which is the palace. The clear and secluded moat at the side and rear is also permeated with a palpitating red, like fresh blood.

At this moment, a gust of morning wind blows. Along with the wind, there were voices from all over the imperial city full of blood and murderous aura. It was some of the rebels who were ordered by Li Zixiong to go to various cities in the imperial city to intimidate and lure the eunuchs and palace guards who rushed to the city. It's nothing more than that if you don't fight to defend the city later, you will kill it. If you try your best to defend the city, after repelling the enemy, you will be rewarded greatly...

In the face of life and death, there are always very few people who regard death as home. After some coercion and temptation, these desperate eunuchs and court ladies have some morale and hope.

At this time, the inside and outside of the imperial city were filled with chills. There seemed to be tension in the air.

The entire capital of the Sui Dynasty did not wake up with the rising sun. Nearly a million people stayed at home in fear, or hid in the cellar, listening to the movement outside. The streets and alleys, all the yamen, are empty and silent.

Some people secretly shuttle between the various houses, with solemn and fanatical expressions...

After all, Wang Junlin is different from other generals in this era. In order to improve morale, he will allow the army to do things that disturb and harm the people. He had already issued strict orders to his men and horses not to slaughter and harass the people. In addition, the imperial city had not yet been breached and the battle had not yet been fought. Therefore, the Far East Army showed a high degree of discipline, and almost no one harassed the people. No one entered the homes of the people.

However, it's so quiet and deserted that it feels like it's still an endless night just after daytime. The whole of Kyoto has become an isolated city, a dead city.

Looking down from the imperial city, one can see that at this time, Kyoto is centered on the imperial city, with several streaks of dust appearing in all directions, and the sound of hooves is like thunder. They are rumbling along the avenues extending in all directions in Kyoto, heading towards the direction of the imperial city!

Although Luoyang City is already the most glorious capital in history, there are still many places on the road that are not paved with stone slabs, and the loess is crushed and crushed by the galloping horseshoes. Get kicked up again. Become a cloud of dust and smoke. Gradually rise. It became a piece of yellow smoke. It blocked the light projected by the rising sun that initially rose above the horizon, making the whole city inside and outside a bit dark.

Wang Junlin divided the soldiers who surrendered into four parts, which were led by the four generals Yuchi Jingde, Luo Shixin, Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong respectively.

At this time, the cavalry of the Far Eastern Army was in front, with five cavalry in a row. at a steady pace. Drive to the imperial city. The infantry followed, looking murderous and excited. Victory is imminent, and the whole army is not unhappy.

But everything seemed so silent and fast. The smoke and dust brought up by the horseshoes, being rushed by these steeds, looked like a yellow dragon without a head and tail, struggling to get in. Intended to devour those rebels who stubbornly defend the imperial city.

Among the loess all over the sky, a large army flag is waving in the wind. On the brown-red flag was painted a big "King" character. I don't know who wrote the word 'king'. It is majestic and majestic, and it seems to give people an indestructible force. Even in the sky full of smoke and dust. Still murderous.

Wang Junlin was under this flag, looking at his army calmly. He came before the imperial city with an irresistible momentum.

Wang Junlin has been thinking about how to rescue Yang Lihua, and handed over the siege to several generals under his command for specific command.

He squinted his eyes, but didn't cover his mouth and nose to avoid inhaling the loess. He just watched all this calmly. After the incident, while Shen Guoer and Shen Guang sent many spies to search and control the city, they were also vigilant.

Since the new capital of Luoyang was built and the capital was moved in the Sui Dynasty, the enemy has never been invaded by the enemy in this short-lived Kyoto.

However, from yesterday to today, this capital was first occupied by the rebels, and then by the Far East Army.

Today, in addition to the troops controlling the Luoyang city walls and various city gates, Wang Junlin's direct descendants and subdued soldiers still have about 60,000 soldiers in total, while the total defensive force in the imperial city is less than 30,000 , most of them were diehard members of Yang Su's lineage who fled into the city at last, and thousands of eunuchs and palace guards were also forced to defend the city. In addition, thousands of maids, maids, and even concubines in the imperial city have been used by Yang Su as items to stimulate morale. Anyone who kills ten enemies will reward one court lady, and if he kills one hundred enemies, he can choose ten court ladies.

Of course, there are also a large number of treasures in the imperial city, which are also used to improve the morale of the defenders.

So, even though they have just experienced a defeat, the morale of the rebels defending the city is not low.

For Wang Junlin, with the combat power of his troops and the help of gunpowder, it is still a two-to-one force. It is really not difficult to fight this battle. The only thing that needs to be vigilant is the group of Spring and Autumn Envoys who may not have left the city, especially the Saintess Cult, which makes him feel very difficult to deal with, because his hands There is no such thing as tear gas guns, only bows and arrows, knives and guns to kill people.

Thinking that Yang Lihua is now in the hands of the Spring and Autumn Envoy, Wang Junlin let out a sigh of relief. This time, all the plans for sending troops to the Central Plains went smoothly, but the fact that Yang Lihua fell into the Spring and Autumn Envoy was the biggest mistake. .

So he must take down the imperial city as soon as possible, so that he can save Yang Lihua with all his heart.

The sound of horseshoes sounded like thunder on the avenue leading directly to the palace from Zhengyangmen. Yuchi Jingde at the front gave an order, and the cavalry of the army under his command took out their weapons and became vigilant. However, their speed did not decrease at all. Passed by like a gust of wind.

A dozen or so running cavalry suddenly broke away from the brigade. Accelerate forward, piercing the quiet street like lightning. Wipe the low eaves of the houses. Start reconnaissance reports for the army to move forward, to prevent hidden ambushes from suddenly appearing to attack.

As usual, the dozen or so cavalry galloped into the streets, made another turn, spread out like arrows, and began to march deep.

All of this happened extremely quickly and naturally, which fully demonstrated the training level of the Far Eastern Army's tiger camp and Yuchi Jingde's leadership level.

The same scene is happening in several other directions at the same time. Even if the treasure has already been hidden, it is impossible for Yang Su to leave an ambush outside the imperial city. However, according to the regulations of the Far East Army on siege, it is necessary to send spies for final reconnaissance. The steps to be taken must not be changed due to the subjective judgment of any general, which is similar to the rule of law in later generations. The advantage of doing this is naturally that any subjective mistakes can be avoided.
