Chapter 251 Breaking into the city
The people of China are very wise. Although they don’t know what Yan Fei meant by bombing the city gate, the people who had come up to watch the city wall before still ran away like the sea water at the ebb.
The reason why the imperial guards who guarded the city walls squatted on the city walls was not to fulfill their obligations as soldiers, but to continue to receive salary from the court to support their families. After all, no matter what the world is like, life always has to continue. The family is still waiting for dinner.
These imperial guards saw a large group of soldiers and horses covered with armored armored, holding black shields arranged into shield walls, guarding a large cart step by step and shouting towards the city gate. This was clearly the rhythm of siege. The imperial guard general in charge was stunned at first, then shouted "Mother" and turned around and rushed down the city gate tower.
When all the main generals ran away, the soldiers naturally would not continue to be loyal to this corrupt dynasty. They threw away the weapons in their hands and fled with the general.
Zong Ze's beard was trembling when he saw this scene outside the city. These bastards really deserve the salary of the court!
"Do you understand my importance now?" Yan Fei hugged his hands, sneering and shook his head. "If it weren't for me, this city would definitely be done. This country would be done."
"Zihou!" Zong Ze looked at Yan Fei excitedly. "No matter what your identity is, the actions you have along the way must have a lot to do with my China. Please help me no matter what!"
Zong Ze worked in the officialdom for almost thirty years, but he knew clearly what the Song Dynasty was like at this time. It would be a joke to defend the city of Bianliang with those imperial guards who fled without fighting. As for King Kang of Hebei, he was a trap king, waiting for the country to destroy his family and let his throne take over.
In this case, in Zong Ze's view, only Yan Fei, whose mysterious origin is beneficial to the Song Dynasty, is the only savior of this country. In order to protect the Song Dynasty, Zong Ze could only put all his hopes on Yan Fei.
Zong Ze really couldn't imagine what kind of devastating disaster would be caused by the terrifying Yan Fei's finger on the Song Dynasty.
"Don't worry, I'm also a Chinese." Yan Fei gave the president a reassurance with a warm smile. "Although Chinese people have also produced many traitors, it's obvious that I'm not."
"Then wait a little longer." Zong Ze spoke anxiously, "When the person from the palace comes, I will definitely let them open the door!"
"I can give you this face." Yan Fei pointed to the queue forward that was pushing towards the city gate. "If they are ready, then stop if someone comes. Otherwise, you will understand."
While speaking, the team escorting the carts there had already arrived at the moat outside Chenqiao Gate. During the truly fierce siege battle, this wide and deep moat, which still has to be filled with many people, can be filled with it, but at this time, Yan Fei's place was just a piece of plastic float.
The soldiers with rich experience quickly built a not-so-long pontoon bridge, and then pushed the cart with explosives over the pontoon bridge and directly pushed it to the city gate to dig a hole and put the explosives in.
Several soldiers who knew a little about the fur under Yan Fei's guidance quickly connected various wires, while the soldiers holding shields who were covering them by the moat were nervous and sweating profusely, and some of them were even trembling slightly.
They all knew what was loaded on the cart. Last night, the scene of how the Jin soldiers attacking the camp were blown into pieces by these strange things was still vivid in their minds. At this time, they were afraid that this thing would explode, not the defenders on the city wall.
In fact, there were no people on the city gate tower and the nearby city walls at this time, not to mention people, there were even a bird. The defenders fled early. It was their own people who came to attack the city. If it were the Jin soldiers who attacked the city, it would definitely be even more unbearable.
After connecting the wires and checking them carefully several times to confirm that they are correct, several temporary engineers dragged the long wires all the way to the distance.
After the engineers pulled the wire more than a thousand meters away and connected it to the detonator, Yan Fei waved to Wang Gui on the side. Then the soldiers who received the news who were responsible for covering outside the city gate fled back like a pardon. One by one ran faster than the other, fearing that they were affected by those terrible things.
Yan Fei got into the car and drove towards the detonator in the distance. The entire team was also retreating quickly. After experiencing the horrific night last night, they were all afraid of being affected by the terrifying explosion that day, like a land dragon turning over.
"I have given you face, but unfortunately no one comes." Yan Fei looked at the empty city gate tower, shrugged his shoulders and placed his hand on the detonator.
Zong Ze looked at the strange detonator with a complicated expression, sighed but was speechless. He never thought that the gate of Bianliang City was actually destroyed by his own people, and what were the officials of the court doing!
‘Boom~~~’ A hot light that seemed to come from the rising sun in the sky rose from under Chenqiao’s door. This light was so dazzling that it even made the crowds in the distance subconsciously close their eyes.
A few seconds later, the thunderous roar of the flat ground roared, sweeping across the earth like a roaring wave. Some people even fell to the ground and covered their ears and shouted, they were already scared by this supernatural power.
"I'll go!" Yan Fei jumped out to the side with agility, and then a burning stone fell from the sky with a shrill sound and smashed into the position he had been standing before.
This stone, which was only the size of a palm, may have been angry with Yan Fei for destroying the city wall and destroying his home, so he flew more than a thousand meters away and hit Yan Fei's head accurately. However, it felt a pity that Yan Fei was avoided.
The shock waves on the ground also came, and the ground trembled slightly, causing many horses to neigh wildly. The scene was really chaotic.
After a long time, the terrifying explosion that seemed to be shaken by the world finally subsided. The irritable horses were comforted, but many were killed because of being too scared and running around. The soldiers looked at the Chenqiao Gate in the distance in a daze, where there was no trace of the city gate at this moment.
Chenqiao Gate disappeared, leaving behind a huge pit and burning garbage fragments. The city walls connected on both sides also collapsed for at least a hundred meters, revealing the adobe inside. As for the moat, it was already blocked by various debris fragments. The turbid river water is slowly rising and submerging everything around.
"It's still a bit too much." Yan Fei sighed at the gradually rising river water, put down the telescope in his hand and gave an order to let the soldiers go forward and clear a river channel.
This scene like a natural disaster scared the residents nearby. The imperial guards who had escaped before were also shocked by the explosion. Looking at the disappeared Chenqiao Gate, many people fled to the city like crazy.
Just run away, but these people were yelling and shouting that Chenqiao Gate was gone, and whoever broke in was killed.
Everyone knows that the word-of-mouth news will deteriorate. So when the news is passed to the palace, it has become the Chenqiao Gate has been broken, and a large number of Jin soldiers have already entered.
"What should I do? What should I do?" In the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, a 40-year-old man in a bright yellow dragon robe was spinning around the hall like a headless fly. His eyes were dull and his face was full of fear as if the sky was about to collapse.
This man has a good skin, clear eyebrows, white skin, and looks very elegant. But in fact, he is a typical representative of the golden and jade, Zhao Ji, one of the top fools in China for thousands of years.
Zhao Ji, a coward who is very accomplished in art but is extremely poor in the profession of the emperor. A coward who cannot protect his wife and children, and his wife and daughter have become slaves from alien races and died miserably. His sons were killed one after another and even their relatives were in trouble. But he lived a life of silence and even learned to bark in order to survive.
At this time, this coward was fooled by Li Gang to pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Heng, who was Song Qinzong during the first battle of defense of Bianliang City. This was because the entire Song Dynasty could not stand this foolish monarch from top to bottom, so everyone worked together to promote this abdication.
However, after escaping early, Zhao Ji learned that Bianliang City was released and returned with shamelessness. And as soon as he came back, he began to compete for power with his son. Of course, the ministers of the Dragon who assisted Song Qinzong ascend the throne would not be willing. No one could give up the power in his hands, so the two gangs began a fierce battle around the father and son emperors.
The direct result of this situation was that the entire Song Dynasty could hardly respond effectively to the second attack of the Jin soldiers. Then he let others hit the doorstep.
Before, this group of people gathered here and were discussing the support army that came outside. Song Huizong expressed his desire to let reinforcements come in to defend the city. They urgently needed a sense of security and needed more troops to protect the city to make them feel safe.
But Song Qinzong expressed his opposition because this army was brought back by Zong Ze. Zong Ze's successful reinforcements must have made contributions and increased prestige, which would affect the status of the ministers around Song Qinzong. Therefore, they refused to let Zong Ze's men enter the city, hoping that they would station outside the city to fight with the Jin soldiers. It would be best if they died.
Both sides held their own opinions and refused to give in, so things were delayed again and again. Until a bolt from the blue came, everyone was so scared that they were at a loss. The people sent out to inquire about the news came back and shouted that Chen Qiaomen was gone. The Jin soldiers attacked in Yunyun and scared the emperors and ministers who were still blaming each other with righteousness and urinating directly.
Song Huizong was wandering around and wandering, and Song Qinzong sat on the dragon chaise as if he had lost his parents. The ministers on both sides no longer had the momentum of guiding the country in the past, and they were dejected and whine like castrated wild dogs.
At this time, Song Huizong was no longer Song Huizong before abdication. The most important confidants under his command were the famous six thieves composed of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Zhu Xie, Li Yan, Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng, who were already cleaned up when he abdicated.
After losing his right-hand assistant and taking the initiative to abdicate and become the Supreme Emperor, Song Huizong was not as strong as before. He could barely compete with the power of Song Qinzong only by relying on his past power.
However, although the six thieves were all dead, there were still some people around him. Li Qi, the Minister of Revenue, took the initiative to express his willingness to contact the Jin soldiers who entered the city for the envoy to discuss peace talks.
At this time, the negotiations were just to give money to surrender. However, the frightened emperor and ministers all agreed repeatedly. After declaring Li Qi the title of envoy, they hurriedly sent him to discuss surrender with the Jin people.
