Chapter 1821: Exterminate
For Zhu Houguan, all this is worth it after all. In order to take this step, everything is worth it...
His steps suddenly increased, and he stepped over the jade steps in three or two steps, and then walked to the imperial throne.
He quickly stretched out his hand, and when he was about to touch the imperial chair, his hand movements suddenly became softer, gently rubbing the golden dragon-width carving on the imperial chair, and a trace of coldness came from his fingertips.
Feeling the coldness on his fingertips, Zhu Houcan's heart was still hot, like a ball of flames, making his blood boil all over his body.
So he could no longer hold back and sat down impatiently.
call!
In an instant, the wide throne made him shudder.
It seemed as if the sound of shouting and killing in the distance and the sound of countless dispatched soldiers were gone at this moment. The troubles in the world were gone at this moment, and joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were actually no longer important.
There may be some discomfort when sitting in the imperial chair, but... Zhu Houcan had already adapted to it at the moment of sitting down.
Then, he raised his eyes and looked down from here. He saw Qian Qian and others standing in the hall, waiting for a while. Dozens of people were silent, but each of them couldn't help but feel nervous.
But Zhu Houcan can no longer see these nervousness.
Because on this high throne, overlooking this huge hall, the people in the hall had become blurred, leaving only small figures, each with only a faint shadow, whether it is the governor of the imperial guards or even a small household official responsible for the warning, it was the same in Zhu Houcon's eyes. Zhu Houcon could not feel that they were flesh and blood people. Looking down like this, he could not feel that they had life, just like a bucket of water in the sea, like sand in the desert, too small, so small that it could no longer accommodate Zhu Houcon's eyes.
He held his hand on the imperial desk, said nothing, only his eyes, looking into the distance through the sky, as if there was something within his reach.
If nothing unexpected happens, when it is dawn, I will meet the rescued civil and military officials here. After dawn, the matter will end, and at that time... the real situation is settled!
……………………
At this time, the palace was already in chaos.
Under this dangerous night sky, there were rapid footsteps everywhere, and the doors leading to the inner palace were shouting and killing sounds.
Unfortunately, the inner city walls are tall and several feet thick. The emperor's inner palace forbidden gardens are naturally not comparable to those of them. Countless soldiers have rushed to the palace gate and shouted loudly, but no one said a word. So they decided to attack. They began to look for the rushing car to attack the city and began to hit the door again and again. The gate was so thick that it still remained unmoved every time it hit out.
On the city tower, the fire was dazzling and Ye Chunqiu appeared.
What should come...
Finally came.
Ye Chunqiu had long expected that this day would come eventually. The rebels raised countless torches and lit countless Kongming lanterns, making the sides of the inner and outer walls as bright as day.
The soldier below shouted loudly: "Open the door quickly, otherwise you will be killed."
"Bong..." The rushing car continued to hit the palace gate again and again. From time to time, some cold guns shot from the city, hitting the female wall and the city wall, sparks flew everywhere.
Ye Chunqiu pressed the hilt of the sword around his waist, with a look of stern expression. Behind him was the terrified Gu Dayong, dozens of imperial guards, as well as a hundred "man soldiers" composed of palace maids and eunuchs.
"Have you arrived yet?" Ye Chunqiu looked down at his head, his expression was already filled with anxiety, and he continued to ask, "There is no news outside the palace yet?"
"No...no... maybe... maybe something unexpected may not happen." Gu Dayong's throat was trembling in fear.
Ye Chunqiu took a deep breath and said, "No matter whether there is any accident or not, the rebels have attacked and guarded them for me. Even if they try their best, they must protect the Empress Dowager and His Highness the Crown Prince, and attack people."
Although the number of new soldiers brought was small, someone threw down a grenade without hesitation.
Suddenly, a moment of lightning came from under the city wall, and then, with a loud bang, the earth shook, and a ball of flame rose. The rebels who were driving the rushing car were blown up and overturned, and the rushing car was instantly burned.
The fire rose, and the explosion was like thunder on the ground.
Seeing this, the rebels were really frightened and dared not break the city anymore. So many soldiers from the Warriors camp picked up their rifles and shot at the city.
Smack sex...
The guns were very harsh, alarming this quiet night...
……………………
Boom...
The explosion could still be felt even when you were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Zhu Houguan, who was sitting on the imperial chair, was shocked in an instant. His face had turned pale and he suddenly woke up. Tonight, it should not be troublesome to attack the inner palace in one fell swoop, but...
Without thinking about it, he hurriedly got off the imperial throne and walked to the palace Zhongying. Dozens of people stood with breath, and Zhu Houguan shouted: "Come, come, come...what's going on?"
A small school came hurriedly and fell to the ground and said, "Report to your Highness, the people who guard the inner palace refused to open the door. The brothers wanted to use chariots to rush the city gate. They used grenades, and Commander Zhang ordered a rifle to fight back. But... but..."
Zhu Hou's face was cold and said, "But what?"
The school hesitated for a moment before saying, "But just using a rifle alone is of no use. The wall of the palace forbidden city is too thick. Even the city gate is as solid as a rock. The wall is too high and the ladder cannot be installed, so...so..."
Why doesn't Zhu Houcon understand this?
The most severe place in the world is the Forbidden City. The biggest taboo in the Forbidden City is the deep palace inner garden, so the city wall here is the best in the world. It really takes some effort for ordinary people to break into it easily. If the people in the inner garden are firm and want to break the city, they may not necessarily be before dawn...
Thinking of this, Zhu Houcong said angrily: "What are you doing while standing there? Since ordinary means cannot be conquered and there is not much time, you must use extraordinary means. Don't the Warriors Camp have hundreds of artillery pieces? Are they all artillery cast by Zhenguo Mansion? Hurry, hurry up, pull the cannons immediately and blow them hard for me!"
His eyes were blood-red, and he was obviously desperate.
We must take down Empress Dowager Zhang, Prince, and Ye Chunqiu before dawn. Only in this way can the fence-bearing grass in the Beijing camp be obediently.
