I've been in this world [Quick Transmigration]

The news finally reached Ziqi's ears. Ziqi thought for a moment, and then led Luo Ning, He Qian, and Du Liang to persuade the guards of the East Palace to lift the ban on the East Palace.

In the end, more than a hundred guards were summoned in the East Palace. Ziqi ordered Du Liang to distribute weapons and led the guards to inspect the palaces of the harem. The guards in the palace entered the Taiji Hall and the Wangxiang Hall respectively from the north and the south, and gradually recruited more than [-] remaining guards in the palace.

Considering how much they cared for the people in the palace before childbirth, many maids and eunuchs spontaneously joined in to maintain order in the palace and never fled again.

So far, only the leader of Liuying took advantage of the chaos in the palace to lead his soldiers to snatch the treasures in the palace.

Ziqi led people to behead the three leaders of Liuying who caused the rebellion, pardoned the rest of Liuying soldiers, and finally gathered ten thousand people.The other generals in Liuying who were observing the direction of the wind eventually turned to Ziqi.

At the third watch, after Ziqi announced the announcement to everyone in the palace, the chaotic harem finally calmed down.

After the harem was in order as usual, Ziqi gathered the soldiers to leave the palace.

In front of Ziqi are the two major problems of the panic in the capital and the 40 troops of Luan Ning, who is about to attack the capital, stationed outside the gate of the capital.

Because of the strong walls of the capital, Luan Ning led his soldiers to station outside the city first, and did not start the battle yet.

Luan Ning first sent spies to inquire about the news in the capital, and then summoned counselors to brainstorm, and the spies reported that the emperor in the capital fled with his courtiers and princes, and the capital was now in chaos.

At the meeting, Zhang Xu analyzed the situation, "The emperor has already fled. If he is held hostage by other people, the lord will not be able to ascend the throne justifiably. Besides the soldiers guarding the city, there is almost no resistance in the capital. So I suggest that the lord divide his troops Two routes, one half of the soldiers stay to attack the city, and one half of the soldiers go to chase the emperor."

This time, because he adopted Zhang Xu's advice when attacking all the way, he was able to win the city without bloodshed, so Zhang Xu's position in Luan Ning's mind became more and more important.

Luan Ning, who had tasted the sweetness, still listened to Zhang Xu's opinion.

They sent 20 people to pursue the emperor, and the rest of them were stationed in the capital. Then they began to ask the soldiers to shout, all of which were foul language. For example, if your emperor escaped, and you are left as cannon fodder, it is better to open the city gate and surrender... ...But it can shake the morale of the army.

At this time, Ziqi quietly sent people to gather the generals guarding the city and held a military meeting.

The gatekeeper was puzzled, and he didn't let go of a big stone until he saw the prince himself.

Ziqi cut to the chase and asked about the situation of the goalkeeper.

The five gatekeepers talked about their respective situations. Now there are only 4000 guards at each gate. After ventilating each other, they realized that most of the leaders were old, sick and disabled. They thought that elite soldiers were guarding other gates.

The emperor is really a jerk.

He took away [-] elite soldiers, and left behind [-] soldiers who were mostly old, sick and disabled. This meant that they should resist for a while and buy time for the emperor to escape.

If the prince was not still there, they really wanted to abandon the city and surrender.

However, the fact that the crown prince was deliberately discarded by the emperor, the crown prince being confined in the East Palace, what resources are there to speak of, is just one more cannon fodder, and everyone is even more desperate.

Ziqi saw that the faces of the gatekeepers were not good, and he said: "I have [-] soldiers under my command, and you have [-] soldiers, a total of [-]. If the guards are dispersed, [-] soldiers will be stationed at each gate, and the resistance will not last long. "

The leaders nodded and said yes, their moods were all controlled by the prince. First, they were surprised that the prince had ten thousand soldiers, and then what the prince said next made them even more desperate.

That's right, what's the use of [-] more soldiers, it's just ants shaking the tree.

"but."

Ziqi glanced at the generals.

The generals became excited again in an instant, "But what?"Although there was only a little hope, the generals immediately raised their heads.

Ziqi glanced at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning immediately took out the blueprint of the capital and laid it out.

Involuntarily, the leaders became more focused, and everyone felt that the crown prince was a little bit awkward.

Ziqi said: "There are five gates in the outer city of the capital, namely Dongzhimen, Chaoyangmen, Xizhimen, Zhengyangmen, and Beizhimen. Let's look at Dongzhimen first."

Ziqi pointed to Dongzhimen and said, "Dongzhimen's city wall is deep and high, and it is the easiest to defend. However, there is a water source outside the city gate to supply the capital. Gu predicts that the enemy will cut off the water source."

The leader of Dongzhimen felt that he had a great responsibility, and when he was about to hear how many people the prince would send to station, he heard Ziqi turn to talk about Chaoyangmen.

Ziqi pointed to Chaoyang Gate and said, "Chaoyang Gate's wall is relatively short, so it can easily become a breakthrough for the enemy."

As soon as Ziqi finished speaking, the leader of Chaoyangmen straightened his back, and he needed to send more soldiers to station him.

However, Ziqi pointed to Xizhimen and said: "Xizhimen is located in a remote place, far away from the four gates, reinforcements are hard to come by, and it may become the focus of the enemy's attack."

The generals at Xizhimen suddenly felt that their task was arduous, and felt that the prince would definitely send more soldiers.

However, Ziqi turned around and said, "Beizhimen's city wall is the weakest among the five gates, and it is the easiest to attack."

The generals at Beizhimen suddenly felt that the guards were tense, and they needed more soldiers to feel at ease.

However, Ziqi said: "Zhengyang Gate is the most important thing. As long as Zhengyang Gate is attacked, the capital will fall instantly, no matter how difficult it is to resist."

The general of Zhengyang Gate looked at Ziqi eagerly, and nodded in agreement.

Then I thought, according to the prince's analysis, every city gate is very important. The five generals looked at each other, embarrassed to ask for more soldiers, but in their hearts they were more eager to reach out to ask for more soldiers, or else they would have no confidence at all. .

After observing the five generals, Ziqi said, "I just analyzed the five gates alone, do you agree with them?" The five generals nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

"If there is an orphan who divides the troops for the generals, can you agree?" The five generals looked at each other and nodded.

"Gu predicts that Beizhimen and Chaoyangmen will be attacked first, and [-] soldiers will be stationed each. Du Liang, you will defend with the general of Beizhimen, and He Qian, you will defend with the general of Chaoyangmen."

Both Du Liang and He Qian nodded.

The two generals were also quite happy, with two thousand more elites and two more counselors, the chances of survival were even greater.

"Zhengyang Gate is the most important thing. It needs to be guarded against. Leading [-] soldiers to be stationed."

There is only one Zhengyangmen general who is happy, and there are two Dongzhimen and Xizhimen generals who are sad.

There are 3000 people left, how to divide them?

"Xizhimen received 500 people. I will give you a plan, hanging sheep and beating drums."

"The specifics will depend on the crown prince's instructions." The Xizhimen general asked impatiently.

"You ask soldiers to tie the hind legs of dozens of sheep to trees, kick the front legs of the upside-down sheep desperately, put dozens of drums under the legs of the sheep, and kick the legs of the sheep desperately, and the drums will continue to rumble. Then let the soldiers beat drums on the city wall from time to time, making it look like they are about to break out of the city, so as to confuse the enemy's sight."

"Then you just beat your drums, defend the city, and don't care about the rest."

The leader of Xizhimen listened, and compared to the other leaders who were about to fight, he actually thought it was quite good.

The four generals were all satisfied, but the general of Dongzhimen felt sad.Just as he was about to get angry, but couldn't find a helper, Ziqi said, "Yougu will guard Dongzhimen with you."

The general of Dongzhimen was full of doubts.

"Play an empty city plan for the enemy." Ziqi said indifferently, but almost frightened the generals of Dongzhimen.

He panicked instantly.

Luo Ning spoke out earlier than him: "I disagree, I can defend the city for the prince."

The general of Dongzhimen was even more confused, but he said in his heart: "It must be that this, the crown prince defending the city with him is not so unacceptable."

But Ziqi stopped him aloud: "You have a more important period, you need to select young men in the capital, encourage them to join the army, and recruit people's strength."

Luo Ning was embarrassed.

After everyone agreed, Ziqi explained it to everyone in more detail.

After explaining one by one, the sky is already dawning.

According to what Ziqi said, each of them divides the work and acts.

Ziqi first allocated [-] elite soldiers to Dongzhimen with [-], Dongzhimen with [-], Beizhimen and Chaoyangmen with [-], and the remaining [-] soldiers were added to Zhengyangmen with soldiers transferred from Xizhimen and Dongzhimen.

Luo Ning led the number of people in the palace to preach and select young men in the capital.

As expected by Ziqi, Beizhimen, the weakest of the five gates, was the first to be hit hard.

The arrows flew like flies, and the soldiers were like ants, scaring the Beizhimen general who was happy because he had just gained [-] soldiers to death.Du Liang was excited.

He has long wanted to experiment with the weapons he designed.

Du Liang patted the leader of Beizhimen on the shoulder, "Brother, what are you afraid of? Look at me."

Du Liang gave an order, and the two thousand soldiers sent by Ziqi revealed hundreds of objects that Beizhimen had never heard of or seen before.

It turned out that these two thousand soldiers did not come empty-handed, but with sharp weapons.

Du Liang waved the flag, [-] soldiers in groups of ten, all issued together, the enemy wailed, and fell down in response.

Du Liang's command was determined, and he continued to let the soldiers launch. The soldiers who attacked the city instantly emptied several floors.The siege is suspended.

Beizhimen, who had been standing by Du Liang's side all the time, looked at him in a daze, and was dumbfounded.

After repelling the first layer of soldiers, Du Liang waved the flag, and everyone paused.

"How about it?"

"sharp."

The leader of Beizhimen immediately congratulated Du Liang, and then asked him for weapons with a flattering smile.

Du Liang waved his hand, "I'm sorry, the East Palace has been evacuated, it's gone."

The leader of Beizhimen was dumbfounded.

"However, we can continue to build after Luo Ning finishes recruiting people in the capital." Du Liang encouraged.

The leader of Beizhimen could only smirk helplessly, but from the bottom of his heart he was looking at the prince squarely.

After the first wave of attack was over, the second wave of soldiers just made a comeback.

Luan Ning studied the situation of Beizhimen. The city wall of Beizhimen was weak, so relying on the large number of soldiers, he simply pushed down the city wall.

This time, they didn't directly go up to make archery targets, but let most of the soldiers drive the huge charging cars directly to the wall.

Luan Ning was quite confident in the rushing car, and five cities were easily breached under the action of the charging car.

However, what he didn't know was that the invincible Chongche was a design idea put forward by Zhang Xu, and the designer of the Chongche was Du Liang, and it was the prince who asked Du Liang to tell Zhang Xu.

Seeing the rushing car coming, Du Liang smiled slightly.

The leader of Beizhimen was completely petrified.

He had heard a lot of legends about the dashing car. It was said that it was a fairy thing, invincible in all battles.Ruined.

Seeing the hopeless eyes of the leader of Beizhimen, Du Liang patted him on the shoulder and told him how to win.

The leader of Beizhimen acted according to Du Liang's instructions.

And Du Liang ordered two thousand soldiers sent by Ziqi to pull up a huge curtain to surround the city wall, while the leader of Beizhimen led four thousand soldiers to shoot arrows and attack the axles of ten charging carts.

In the end, the wheel was directly impacted by the momentum and fell to the ground, and the ram car completely failed.

After the rush car failed, the flying arrows shot at the enemy.

Because of the status of the Chongche in the hearts of the enemy, they were usually able to attack the city very quickly, but today they were unable to attack for a long time, and the fetish was broken. Frightened by the bravery of the soldiers guarding the gate, the enemy immediately became timid, and rushed to push the chariot again. Not moving, scared to throw the car and retreat.

The leader of Beizhimen led the old, sick and disabled to win the battle, his whole body was as if he had eaten the gall of a leopard, and he was quite energetic.Smiling to Du Liang, he said, "We cooperate tacitly with each other."

Du Liang grinned, opened the city gate a little, spread the curtain, and pushed the broken cart back.

The leader of Beizhimen was dumbfounded.

"It still works." Du Liang smiled slightly, "Of course."

Du Liang ordered his men to dismantle some parts of the Chongche, and instantly transformed the Chongche into a throwing cart.

The leader of Beizhimen had nothing to say, he just felt that the people under the Prince's school were inexplicably tall.

The fleeing soldiers reported the situation to Luan Ning. Luan Ning thought to himself, he never expected that the generals guarding the city gate would have such abilities.Luan Ning felt that the other four generals should not have this ability.

Luan Ning sent spies to visit the other four city gates, and then called counselors to discuss.

After learning about the situation at Beizhimen, Luan Ning's former counselor had already had a problem with Zhang Xu.

Along the way, many cities fled in anticipation, with almost no wasted troops, and their existence could hardly be seen.It's very annoying, now there is finally a person who can resist the rush of the car.

Zhang Xu's counselor, who was usually dissatisfied, immediately expressed his opinion after sneering at Zhang Xu.

"The city wall of Chaoyangmen is short, so it is better to build an earth mountain outside Chaoyangmen city and take Chaoyangmen in one fell swoop." A counselor suggested.

Another counselor said: "Xizhimen is located in a remote place, and there is no reinforcement. We should attack Xizhimen first."

Another counselor said: "Why bother, just concentrate all our forces and directly attack Zhengyangmen."

Another counselor said: "This statement is wrong. There is a water source for the capital outside the gate of Dongzhimen. The Lord only needs to cut off the water source to trap the people in the capital. Within three to five days, the people in the capital can be trapped without using troops." Open the door and surrender."

The counselors had different opinions, each with their own reasons, but they couldn't persuade each other, and they were deadlocked.Only Zhang Xu watched from the sidelines.

Luan Ning was quarreled like a cow, and he also felt that everything he said made sense.

"All right, all right, stop talking, what do you think of Zhang Xu?" Luan Ning asked Zhang Xu habitually.

Zhang Xu smiled: "There are only more than ten thousand soldiers guarding the city. Didn't everyone get scared?"

After hearing this sentence, Luan Ning became much calmer.

"I suggest that the lord should divide his troops into five groups. There is no need to attack by force. He just needs to test the situation of each guarding the gate. It is better to wait for the situation of chasing the emperor first, and then make plans."

Luan Ning felt that this opinion won his heart. Compared with capturing the capital, it is more important to capture the emperor first.

According to Zhang Xu's opinion, Luan Ning divided his troops into five groups and pretended to attack to test the situation of the five city gates.

Luan Ning arranged for Xizhimen's soldiers to hollow out the bottom of the city wall, and then let a small number of soldiers use wooden pillars to support it. When it was about the same time, they set fire to the wooden pillars.In this way, the wall can collapse because of the loss of support.

However, it was hit by Du Liang crazily.

Du Liang asked people to make up the wooden fences in time, while the soldiers defending the city used the remodeled rush carts as throwing carts, and the stones flew like flying stones, killing countless soldiers.

I've never fought such a bad fight.

Originally, they thought they were all outside the gate of the capital, but they thought they could follow Luan Ning to rebel against the emperor. They drank broth, but ended up turning themselves into meat sauce, what a scam.

The soldiers chose to flee.

Luan Ning had a violent personality and killed people like hemp. Many soldiers did not dare to return to the camp, and did not want to be appointed officials, so they ran away.

Xizhimen is temporarily at peace.

Luan Ning arranged for the soldiers to build the earth mountain at Chaoyang Gate. The amount of work was also quite large, but Luan Ning was not afraid of suffering and asked the soldiers to build the mountain, but he estimated the situation.

When the soldiers built half of the mound, night fell.Under the cover of night, He Qian asked the soldiers to raise the city wall with wooden boards, and secretly shot at the enemy from a height.

I only heard the wailing of the enemy, but no counterattack.

The enemy troops who came to attack Chaoyang Gate suffered heavy losses. When they returned to the camp, they were not only beaten by the furious Luan Ning, but also sent them to continue attacking Chaoyang Gate, and even ordered them to issue a military order that they would not return to camp if they did not knock down Chaoyang Gate.

What is even more difficult is that the mound has been occupied by gatekeepers. They first wanted to capture the mound, but they were ambushed by the gatekeepers and surrounded and annihilated half of them. When they reached the mound, they were burned to death.

In the end, like the soldiers who also attacked Beizhimen, they made the same choice and fled.

It turns out that of the so-called 40-strong army, only 30 are Luan Ning's direct descendants, and the remaining [-] were collected along the way. Most of these people are bandits, local ruffians, and lazy people. Officer, just join it.

Almost no resistance was encountered along the way. It can be said that apart from their own naughty skills, these people do not know how to fight at all, let alone learn how to fight.Usually it is a good thing to scare others, but when you really meet soldiers, you will be timid.

But Luan Ning listened to Zhang Xu's opinion that capturing the emperor's heart was more important than besieging the city, so he sent most of the direct descendants to chase the emperor, leaving only a small part of the direct descendants to prevent other soldiers from rebelling.

This small part of the direct lineage is naturally guarding Luan Ning's side, and those who are sent to attack the city are naturally people added on the road, and he doesn't feel bad about how many people die.

Xizhimen is a long way to go. After they arrived at Xizhimen, they heard about the tragedy at Beizhimen and Chaoyangmen, and they were afraid.

Especially when he heard the beating of drums at Xizhimen, he immediately became timid.

Not daring to go back to the camp, and not wanting to escape, they first stationed at Xizhimen, waiting for the opportunity.

The soldiers of Dongzhimen also learned what happened to the soldiers of Beizhimen. They learned to be smart and did not take the initiative to attack, but just blindly cut off the water source.

Ziqi had expected it a long time ago, and he didn't let people resist. He just asked the soldiers to dig the groundwater source that had been detected long ago.

The one who led the soldiers to attack Zhengyang Gate was Luan Ning's direct descendant. He was much better at fighting than the generals who attacked the other four gates. He didn't want to attack by force, but dug tunnels from outside the city to enter the city.

However, he did not expect Ziqi to be prepared.

This side dug tunnels from outside the city, and the soldiers defending the city were digging tunnels just like them, and they also sprinkled burning oil.

Then wait for them to drill.

When the soldiers outside the city couldn't dig enough, and when the soldiers at Zhengyangmen could see the blurred shadows of the soldiers outside the city at this end, the soldiers at Zhengyangmen lit the fuse of the burning oil and set it on fire.

The fire was so fast that the soldiers outside the city were caught off guard.

The ratio of 4 to 5000 is not very different.

Especially when the soldiers at Zhengyangmen were so motivated and timid as those outside the city, they could almost fight ten against one. In the end, Luan Ning's lineage outside Zhengyangmen stopped the soldiers from attacking and called a temporary truce.

Luo Ning's lectures on various honor policies did not attract many people until the gates of each city were successfully guarded, how the prince used soldiers like a god, coupled with the palace people's lectures on the prince's various deeds, and the people who stayed behind in the capital were full of love for the prince. With more trust, great enthusiasm and active participation burst out.

The source of soldiers has been greatly replenished, as is the armament, especially after five days of stalemate, the water source has not become a crisis, and the capital has gradually returned to its former calm.
