MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2671 Assault, Breakthrough (2)

  Chapter 2671 Assault, breaking the game (2)

  Hearing the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing suddenly came from the east, the few people who woke up from their sleep were a little surprised and worried, not knowing what happened.

  Although they all knew that not all the armies in central Beijing were in the hands of the emperor and Li Sancai, the sudden rebellion of the standard guard caught the cabinet by surprise.

  The cabinet and the seven ministries were all taken over by the standard-bearer guards at once, and they were all detained and imprisoned.

  Although there are no other actions, this kind of house arrest is too irritating, and it is unacceptable for officials who are used to bossing around and making them free and easy.

   But in the face of swords and guns, the officials knew very well that it was unreasonable at this time. If they wanted to provoke, they might not be able to guarantee their lives.

   It is reasonable to say that the Beijing Central Garrison is also loyal to the cabinet, but being hit by the standard guards blocked the connection between everyone and the Beijing Central Army.

  At this time, everyone realized that the connection with the Beijing Central Army was weak, and they couldn't even find a backup channel to mobilize and command the Beijing Central Army, which was related to the fate of the entire court.

It was also learned from Li Sancai that Sun Chengzong and others were detained in the Ministry of War, which made the cabinet ministers even more desperate. When Yuan Keli and Feng Ziying were still far away, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi were both detained, so it was even more impossible to command and mobilize Beijing. All the troops.

   But let the army in Beijing take the initiative to attack to save everyone, almost no one believes that the gang of warriors can do it, and the existing rules of the court do not allow them to act independently without the order of the court.

   Two days of house arrest made the group extremely anxious, but the standard-bearer guards outside did not talk to them at all.

  No matter how they tried to speak their tongues, this group of soldiers obviously didn't have much of a good impression of the civil servants. They just kept on guard and didn't allow them to leave, and nothing else happened.

  Everyone, including Qi Yongtai, was a little desperate and disheartened.

  They know very well that the longer the delay, the worse it will be for their own side.

  The fact that Li Sancai can come and go freely gives him the upper hand, and he can freely make any jokes and persuade anyone to be bribed.

   Now this sudden change made them full of expectations. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises?

   "Brother Chengfeng, what do you think is the situation?" Gu Bingqian was the most eager, looking eagerly at Qi Yongtai who also just got up from the bed.

  Seeing that his dream of being the chief assistant was about to be shattered, Gu Bingqian couldn't sleep at night in the past two days. He hated Li Sancai and Emperor Wantong deeply, but he was powerless to reverse it.

"I don't know." Qi Yongtai looked calm, and shook his head: "If it is said that the Beijing Camp or the Warrior Camp of the Four Guards took the initiative to quell the chaos, I really don't believe it. Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun of the Beijing Camp took the initiative. It is possible to protect Daofu and the others, after all, Daofu is now able to shout around with the Zhongzhi, so maybe the gang of warriors will take the Zhongzhi and recognize Daofu and the others?"

  Gu Bingqian was depressed.

Guan Yingzhen also got up and tidied up his crumpled clothes: "But the sound of gunfire and shouts of killing is so loud, I'm afraid something has happened? Brother Chengfeng, did you just send the letter to invite Ziying back? Is there such a possibility, or Ziying had expected to come back early?"

Qi Yongtai pondered, "It's hard to say, Ziying is always alert, and he likes to do things that are daring. Besides, he is the governor of Jiliao. Now that Jianzhou Jurchen has been destroyed, it seems reasonable for him to go to Jizhen, but even if Even if he is in Ji Town, he may not be clear about the situation in Beijing, even if he knows the situation now, it may not be in time."

   "It's hard to say. I think such a battle is definitely beneficial to us. It doesn't matter who comes, as long as we can get us out of trouble, we can shatter Daofu and their dreams."

  Huang Ruliang was refreshed, and ran to the door and window with small steps, and looked out through the window lattice.

   But it was still pitch black outside the window, and apart from soldiers walking back and forth a little far away and anxiously shouting and asking, they couldn't make out what they were saying.

  But something must have happened, which caused the defenders outside to feel nervous and anxious.

  Huang Ruliang observed for a while, but he didn't see anything, but the sound of shouting and gunfire came and went, sometimes loud and sometimes quiet, and he couldn't tell the specific direction, which made him unable to judge what happened.

  Li Guitang led a few people to take advantage of the fierce battle between the two sides in the narrow alleyway between the Imperial Academy and Wenyuan Pavilion, and quietly bypassed from the north.

   As soon as the two standard-bearer guards had time to raise their guns, Li Guitang grabbed one by the neck and twisted his neck.

For these masters of the rivers and lakes, it is not difficult to climb such a high wall, and three or five standard-bearer guards are nothing to worry about, but what they are afraid of is encountering a group of soldiers with guns, especially in this narrow In the alleys, in places that are almost hidden, there is a burst of shooting, and if you have a thousand skills, you will become a hornet's nest.

  When Ma Jinbao took the lead in attacking, he immediately attracted the standard-bearer guards on this line. The two sides fought fiercely on the line of the partition wall and alley.

  The standard-bearer guards rely on the walls and mansions to hold fast, and the firecrackers and bow and arrow fulcrums firmly control the sniper position, which makes Ma Jinbao's offensive momentum frustrated.

However, Li Guitang and his group were not affected. They bypassed the alley from the north side of the Imperial Academy, a hundred steps longer, and used the standard-bearer guards to defend the army from the north. The surrounding walls of the pavilion, two consecutive walls and the fire lane in the middle, directly enter the small garden behind Wenyuan Pavilion.

   There are still more than 20 soldiers guarding here, but when they heard the loud gunfire outside, many people focused their attention on the east gate, and did not notice that someone came in from the north wall.

  So Li Guitang and the others sneaked in freely. It was not until the Wenyuan Pavilion lobby and its attached backyard that Li Guitang and the others encountered the guards of the Banner Guard and the Long Banwei.

   The guards of the Bannerman Guards hardly had time to react, and they were quickly dealt with by Li Guitang and his team, but the guards of Long Jinwei were more troublesome.

  Long Jinwei has only four people here, each guarding a cabinet minister, and they all have some martial arts skills, but when facing Li Guitang and his group, they are immediately at a disadvantage.

  After some fighting, all four members of Long Jinwei were taken down, and two of them were injured, but their lives were not affected.

  When Li Guitang stepped into the lobby, his heart was also surging.

   This is considered a great achievement, and the wealth and wealth may be thrown on him.

  He suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart, and glanced around.

  The people brought in have already blocked the door. If the standard-bearer guards still have people rushing in from the outside, they can respond quickly, but if they rush in on a large scale, their own people still can't deal with it.

Fortunately, the standard-bearer guards are now almost all focused on the onslaught of the frontal Shenshu camp. There are more than 20 people guarding it, and four people from the Dragon Guard are watching. No one would think of it. Changes will come first from within.

   "The humble Li Guitang has met all the adults,..."

  Qi Yongtai and others were also refreshed. Here, Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen had both met Li Guitang and knew that he was the leader of Feng Ziying's bodyguard.

   "Ziying is back?" Guan Yingzhen asked first: "Has he entered the city?"

   "Return to your lord, your lord has already entered the city, and now command the Shenshu Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, the Four Guards Battalion, and the Warrior Battalion to quickly restore the situation in the city..."

Li Guitang's answer made Qi Yongtai and others feel at ease. The impressions accumulated over the years by Feng Ziying gave them a lot of trust in Feng Ziying. As long as Feng Ziying came, the initiative of the central Beijing army would be in their hands. , then the whole situation is very different between the two.

   "Pay attention to the Xuanfu army!" Guan Ying said in a deep voice, "Otherwise..."

"Don't worry, my lord. Before entering the city, my lord will stay in Jizhen. Arrangements have been made to prevent the Xuanfu army from entering the city. We came here first because we were worried that the ministers of the cabinet and other ministries of the court would be kidnapped and hurt. Therefore, my lord Only then will the Shenshu camp go around the west, and sneak in from the Hanlin Academy at night..."

Even if the entire task of rescuing the cabinet princes has been completed, the seven officials who were born, to be honest, it’s okay to lose some of them. It’s easy to make up for these people, but if these four die, Then the court will collapse, and anyone who fills the seat will have to fight hard. At that time, Feng Ziying will not have the prestige to overwhelm everyone.

It is not yet a situation in which warriors are in power, and the long-established habit still requires a group of civil servants to dominate the operation of the entire government. Feng Ziying knows this very well. It may be possible for the time being to imagine that warriors can intervene in politics in the capital city, but they have to command the huge Zhou Shi. Three provinces straight, it is unrealistic.

   After Li Guitang and the others took control of Wenyuan Pavilion, they firmly guarded the entrance of Wenyuan Pavilion, and then let Qi Yongtai and others hide to prevent being hurt by the flames of war.

  The battle outside was raging, but Li Guitang had already sent out the signal. After Ma Jinbao learned that Li Guitang and the others had successfully dealt with the imprisoned cabinet members, he had no scruples and immediately led his army to attack with all his strength.

  Under the onslaught of losses and consumption, the Banner Guard finally couldn't hold it, and was soon defeated, retreating towards the household and official departments next door.

   It's just that when they wanted to come to take away several important "hostages" in Wenyuan Pavilion, they realized that something had already happened.

The surging army of the Shenshu camp made the standard bearer guards unable to think too much and could only retreat hastily. However, they also realized what would happen if the cabinet princes were taken away, which also made Zhang Jin who heard the news also Had to rethink some things.
