The cart shop that Xiao Jinshu found with the exposed maids on the imperial concubine's side not only transported artillery, but also a lot of gunpowder, which was prepared for the city wall.
Xiao Jin sent Huajin hall to monitor the two places. They had discovered that they secretly transported gunpowder out of the city in batches at night and buried it on both sides of the east gate, a waterway that can connect the inner and outer cities. So Xiao Ziya sent someone to bury the gunpowder with her front foot, and Xiao Jin asked her back foot to get the gunpowder out, leaving only a fuse as a cover.
Dongsheng king came from the waterway. If he could blow up the wall, his ship could enter the capital unimpeded through this waterway. The ship's transportation capacity was strong. This waterway not only connected the inside and outside of the capital, but also directly led to the imperial palace. Once the city wall is forced, the big ship of Dongsheng King carrying artillery and soldiers can directly enter the palace along this waterway. At that time, the threat can not be underestimated.
Xiao Ziya didn't know that the gunpowder he had buried had been taken out. After the boat brought by Wei ruoyi fired, he thought his gunpowder had been detonated, so he was shocked.
Xiao Jin'an is unreliable, but the king of Dongsheng can handle it.
"Lord, the seals of the kings have been sent everywhere." soon, the voice of the waiter sounded again, with a sense of joy, "several troops and horses have begun to attack the capital."
"OK!" Xiao Ziya was already very anxious. When he heard the news, his eyes lit up. He couldn't help patting his thigh.
"Lord, the old master's soldiers and horses are coming!" Shijian also shouted excitedly. Then he fiercely pulled the reins in his hand. The carriage that was flying suddenly slowed down and stopped steadily in the middle of the path.
On the mountain road opposite the carriage, a large fire light suddenly floated and continued down the mountain. It was particularly dazzling and eye-catching in the dark night.
Walking in front of the team are several large flags fluttered by Lingfeng. The background color of the flag is black, which has been integrated with the night. However, the golden black pattern embroidered on the flag is gold thread, which is echoed by the fire light and glitters in the night sky with the flag.
Jinwu flag!
When Xiao Ziya pulled up the curtain after parking, she saw these huge flags, and her eyes moistened in a moment.
How proud and proud was the golden and black war flag of Gongbei palace. At that time, Gongbei palace had troops and possessions! Their dreams and glory are carried on this banner that has been passed on for generations. Xiao Ziya still remembers that when she was a child, when her grandfather was training, she sat firmly on his grandfather's saddle with her height less than his grandfather's thigh, and walked slowly through the neat Wang army under the golden and black flag waving in the wind.
It has been many years. This flag seems to have disappeared from the world and only remains in his memory. Goodbye to this majestic golden Black War Flag today. It seems that all the previous glory reappears with the return of this flag!
"Grandpa!" Xiao Ziya paused, jumped out of the car and took a few quick steps forward.
One person in the team rode out, and the golden armor vaguely reflected the light of the torch. A man who looked hale and hearty although he was a little old sat on the war horse.
"Ziya! You did a good job!" the man rode on the horse and looked down at Xiao Ziya running in front of his horse. A smile of praise appeared on his face very similar to Xiao Ziya.
"Grandpa has been away all these years and never returned to Beijing. Grandpa has made great achievements!" Xiao Ziya restrained her excited heart and knelt on one knee in front of the old Gongbei king. "Grandson, please say hello to Grandpa."
"In special times, the red tape is all right." Lao Gongbei Wang said with a smile, "get up. What should you do next?"
"Go back to your grandfather." Xiao Ziya told Lao Gongbei Wang about the current situation. "The east gate has begun. I believe other places that cooperate with Dongsheng king should have attacked the city."
"If the garrison near Gyeonggi comes to rescue, can you deal with it?" asked Lao Gongbei.
"Yes." Xiao Ziya said confidently, facing her grandfather, "my grandson has a lot of Xinmi in the home of the guards near Gyeonggi. My grandson can directly hold their family. With these, I'm not afraid that the officials will not accept. Even if he won't start a fire with us, he will watch the fire from the shore until the final victory comes."
"Well." the old Gongbei King nodded, "and Qin Shaoyang's Jinyi South Town?"
"There are less than 20000 soldiers and horses of Nanzhen Fushi in the capital and the forbidden guards in the imperial palace." Xiao Ziya said, "we have far more soldiers and horses into the city. As long as the city is broken, the imperial palace will have nothing to rely on."
"Well, good. I also brought 30000 troops and horses." old Gongbei Wang smiled and nodded, "help you."
Thirty thousand soldiers and horses? Xiao ziarden was beaming with joy.
Although his grandfather didn't say it clearly these years, he also knew that his grandfather secretly sold many of the family properties originally belonging to the Gongbei palace to raise and train troops.
These soldiers and horses have been practicing privately in the mountainous areas of Southern Xinjiang for so many years, which should be very effective.
Even if Xiao Jin'an didn't make any achievements in the north gate, with the 30000 troops brought by his grandfather, I believe it would be enough without the Rouran army near the north gate of the capital.
"Get on your horse and go to the capital with me." as soon as the old Gongbei King lifted his hand, someone immediately brought a war horse.
"Thank you, grandpa!" Xiao Ziya hugged her fist, then quickly turned on her horse and rode to follow the old Gongbei king.
"Your legs are recovering well." the old king of Gongbei looked at Xiao Ziya's legs and said, "they are very flexible."
"Yes," said Xiao Ziya, "but in rainy weather, these legs will hurt."
"It's inevitable," said the old king Gongbei. "You are the one who has suffered the most for our Gongbei palace. This time, we'll ask those people back even with our capital and interest."
"Everything is arranged by my grandfather." Xiao Ziya hugged her fist.
At the foot of Xilong mountain, Xiao Ziya met with Laogong Beiwang and rushed to the capital with 30000 troops and horses.
Xiao Jin also received two flying pigeon letters on the way to meet Su Yan and Su Mei. One was sent to him on November 11, telling him that the gunpowder had been handled properly, and asking him how Xiao Ziya ordered the capital to set fire. Xiao Jin asked someone to tell Xi that he had lit a bonfire around the capital. Quan thought it had been set on fire in the capital.
The identity of Xi has not been exposed so far, which is a good thing. Xiao Ziya has no trace now. If you want to find Xiao Ziya, I'm afraid you can still use the thread of Xi.
At the same time, he asked Xi'an to send another letter to Xiao Ziya, saying that the imperial palace guards and royal guards are everywhere in the capital, and it is very difficult to set fire. In order to avoid being too frustrated in strength, temporarily avoid the edge. I believe even a smart person like Xiao Ziya won't have any other doubts after receiving this secret letter. After all, the news has leaked since the development of this matter. Jianghu sects such as Xi'an won't fight against the government. They are good at hiding in the dark and killing with one blow.
Xiao Jin looked at the second Flying Pigeon biography and looked very happy. This letter was sent by Wei Yi.
He had rushed back to the capital overnight, and had faced the king's rebels at the south gate.
After reading the letter, Xiao Jin quickly asked someone to send a message to Qin Shaoyang, asking him to send the available army of the South Town of royal guards in the city to the south gate to meet Wei Yi and put it under Wei Yi's command.
In order to get on the road, Wei Yi brought back not many soldiers and horses, only 5000 cavalry. Xiao Jin was afraid that Wei Yi might make some mistakes.
Moreover, Su Yan and Su Mei in the Songjiang palace near Ximen have gone to rebel. Even if those people will not fully obey Su Mei's orders, the rebels brought by Songjiang palace will be greatly reduced. It is enough for him to go to support with Feng Ping. There is no need to allocate other troops as assistance.
Therefore, the top priority is the South Gate of the capital.
When Xiao Jin and Feng Ping arrived at the south gate, Su Mei and Su Yan had joined up with other stubborn rebels in the Songjiang palace with their own troops.
Outside the gate of the city was illuminated by huge bonfires and torches.
"Remember, it's our people who wear red scarves on their left arm and neck. Don't make a mistake." Xiao Jin said to the people behind her after telling the city guards to open the city gate.
"Yes!"
With the door slowly opened, Xiao Jin and Feng Ping rushed out of the capital almost at the same time.
After Feng Ping and Wei ruoyi moved from the northwest border to Dongsheng Prefecture, he never fought again. Just hearing the neighing of war horses outside, he felt his blood gushing and his whole body was full of strength.
Waving the weapon in his hand, he shouted and rushed into the battle circle. Suddenly, it was dark.
In the palace
Wei Ruo Yi has changed her complicated palace clothes, wearing her armor, and the style of her hair has been changed to a simple horse tail.
She took her long knife and stood steadily outside the Royal study. On her side, a kind of bodyguard lined up and built a human wall outside the whole Royal study.
Behind the desk in the study, his majesty looked at the memorials in recent days.
Gao Hequan stood at the back of his majesty with his hands down, his eyes watching his nose and his nose watching his heart.
There was a rumble of artillery outside the palace. Even if it was far away, your majesty still felt that the things on the table were a little noisy.
"It seems that there is a fight," his majesty said softly without changing his eyes.
"Yes, your majesty." Gao Hequan bent down and answered.
"How long has Princess Yongning been standing outside?" Your Majesty raised her eyes and looked out of the window.
The interior and exterior of the imperial study have been filled with lights, and the inside and outside are reflected like day.
"It's been a long time," Gao Hequan replied.
"Let her come in and have a rest," his majesty said to Gao Hequan. "She's a woman. There's no need to work so hard."
