Chapter 512: : The Death of the Little Court (5)

A thing that has been repeated many times, Jiankang City occupies a very large area, and the result is that the city wall is not straight at all. It is necessary to take a turn after reaching some positions. The layout of the city gate is also based on the shape and location of the city wall. To set up. . Fastest update

The road that Fu Wei led to Jiankang was not tortuous. When they passed through the Jin army’s defense line, they didn’t even move any sword-handling soldiers. It was only because the Jin army on the defense line was instructed by the clans and families behind to join the Han army. At this time, Wang Xizhi was still on his way to Sheshan.

The ship of the little court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty has broken through every possible way, and there are families that have rebelled all the time, so that the situation has turned into a situation where the little court is not only going to be an enemy of the Han army, but also to endure constant rebellion. The evil consequences of family politics.

In fact, the aristocratic family really will not be loyal to anyone other than the family. Everything is based on its own interests. When the situation is serious to a certain point, it is the first choice to preserve the family's interests. Everything else is an option that can be sold.

Nearly 20,000 troops belonging to the Han faction appeared in Dongcheng. This news was undoubtedly bad news for those trapped in Miyagi.

The east of Jiankang has been a battlefield for the past few months, where there is a defense depth of tens of miles, and there are more than 170,000 Jin troops stationed there. With the Han army coming from the east, can it be said that the Jin army there has collapsed, and even the Wang clan has jumped back?

Chu Suanzi’s sadness is that the royal family only has control of Miyagi’s combat power of about 10,000, and Chu’s piecemeal effort can only produce less than 4,000 weapons that can be trusted. It is basically necessary to rely on those forces to break through. Delusion, again, the situation has been deteriorating again and again, those families who are on their side may change their positions at any time.

"The officials thought that the Han army was just coming to the East City by coincidence. It was definitely not a problem with the troops there." After the death of Li Chenghan, Chang Zong became an official here at the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. He said, "We should send people to go. The east dispatched troops to come back to rescue the siege."

Chu Pai wanted to say that everything could happen when everyone was in danger. For example, the Huan family hadn't shown signs of rebellion before, so he directed this big drama. He thinks that the Huan family can do that, so why can't the Wang family be? But he dare not say these words.

Their quarrels and quarrels have been going on for a long time. The outside is one after another with bad news, but the inside has not been able to come up with an idea for a long time. Chu Suanzi, who has been watching, thinks that even a bad idea is better than continuing. The quarrel goes on strong.

In the midst of the clamor, someone came to report that the Han army who had entered the northern city had already advanced towards Miyagi.

"Zhuqing." Chu Suanzi said for the first time: "Would you like to go up to the tower with Ai's house?"

Regardless of what the people present are thinking or what they have decided, as the Queen Mother Chu Suanzi invited them, they are willing to go with them.

The palace of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was built on the foundation of the Soochow royal family. Due to the general weakness of the Sima family, no new palaces have been built for a long time, and it can even be said that no repairs have been carried out, making the palace look like this country. Shows the dilapidated weather.

No matter how small Miyagi is, there is no small way to go, a kind of people waiting to ride in cars and horseback riding, unavoidably someone on foot, out of the Miyagi core hall to the north, through the East Forest Garden to the Odori Gate.

Chu Suanzi saw with his own eyes that the palace that was supposed to be extremely solemn became extremely messy, and guards were patrolling everywhere, and there were palace ladies and attendants who fell down on the road. The gates of some palaces were open, and there was a looting inside. , And even the Donglin Garden, which was originally pretty beautiful, has become a mess, and many trees have been chopped down.

This is not the time to pay attention to pomp, Chu Suanzi does not have a gorgeous uniform, the little emperor Sima Tan does not wear a crown suit, and the vehicle he rides does not have any emperor festival.

The group of people who accompanied them were dressed in a mess, some in regular uniforms, some in official uniforms, and more in uniforms. You can judge the state of Jiankang during the chaos based on the difference in clothes, and they were also invited to Miyagi one after another.

The northern part of Miyagi is not used as a residential area. There is a Tongqin Temple outside Datongmen, and Guishan Temple beside Daxiamen. The incense of the two temples in Jiankang is not bad. To the north, there is Jilong Mountain, which is the mausoleum of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, where the emperors of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are buried. The north of Jilong Mountain is Xuanwu Lake.

Standing at the Datong Gate and looking to the north, the temples of Tongqin Temple are clearly visible. There are no people there at this moment, but they can also be seen from the corpses and debris everywhere and they have experienced chaos.

In fact, there are many gates on the north side of Miyagi. The Datong Gate is only the exit of Donglin Garden. The other places are connected to the outside city. There are so many gates purely due to some rituals, just like what they are doing. It's the same from which door you get in and out.

There is a straight avenue on the east side of Tongqin Temple, which connects Miyagi and Xuanwu Lake. On the southeast side of Xuanwu Lake is Fuzhou Mountain. There is a stream on the edge of Fuzhou Mountain, which leads to a lot of bridges here.

"The Jilongshan fire is not over..." Chu Pai turned his head to look west again, and said, "We can see the flag of our army faintly flying over the stone city."

In fact, the stone city is very far away from the Chase Gate. Human eyes can see flags flying, but it is so blurry that even the colors are hard to distinguish. How can one tell who the flag belongs to.

Xuanwu Lake is the largest lake in Jiankang City, and its area is definitely larger than the entire Miya Castle. When heavy rains broke out in previous years, Xuanwu Lake was a disaster in Jiankang City, so that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty spent huge sums of money to continuously build the long embankment. After decades of construction, the total length of the embankment is definitely one hundred and eighty li. It is thicker and taller than a year, and Xuanwu Lake becomes a pure place for enjoyment, and there is no longer any harm.

The area where the Han army entered the city was Xichuan Prefecture, which was located on the west side of the Xuanwu Lake Long Causeway and on the north side of the Stone City. If judging from the terrain, before the Han army wants to get close to the palace, they should first capture the Stone City. Otherwise, they will be cut off. Only then Chu Bao emphasized that the Stone City is still in the hands of the Jin army. if.

Xie Ai is really studying Stone City at this moment.

The Stone Town, as its name implies, was built early and built on a foundation full of stones. It is a scene in Jiankang City. The mountain is a rocky mountain, with streams on the east side at the foot of the mountain and the Yangtze River on the west side. On its low-altitude mountain is a square in the city, inhabited by citizens and long-term garrisons. The garrison was to monitor the movement of the Yangtze River. There were originally large-scale military equipment fortifications. Waiting for the Han army to gain full advantage in the Yangtze River. At present, it is rare to say that hundreds of eight crossbows are aimed at the Yangtze River.

"It's really not advisable to push Miyagi if you don't attack here!" The map in Xie Ai's hand was provided by Huanyun, and it seemed to have sufficient original features, that is, it only depicts a rough picture, and there is no data. He rolled up the map and asked, "There are about three thousand garrisons on it?"

"Three thousand troops were stationed to guard against the Yangtze River, and now they are definitely far more than three thousand." Huan Yun said with a wry smile: "I was trying to take advantage of it, but I didn't succeed."

Xie Ai had already known from Huan Yun that the garrison in Stone City was controlled by the Xie family. Regarding Xie Pai's death, Xie's handing over the command of the army to Chu Pai has also confirmed. In fact, he still didn't understand what the Xie family members thought. Except for Xie An's role in Han, the Xie family members are still opposing Han in their current situation. It is really not a wise move.

Four thousand Han troops and a miscellaneous three to five thousand people arrived at the north side of the stone city. From this position, looking towards the location of the stone city, the first thing you can see is the towering and steep mountain. There are few plants on it, and there is no upward passage.

"This is not the area of ​​Stone City. It is a barren hill on the north side. There is only an upward passage inside the two-mountain valley road." Huan Yun's finger is a stone hill in the distance, and there are dense figures of Jin army on it: "If the general is going to attack Stone Mountain, Need to detour to the vicinity of Xilimen, just..."

Xilimen is one of the exits of the outer fence wall of Miyagi. This fence has a total length of nearly 300 miles. It is one of the three walls of Jiankang City. The shape is not straight. If it can be attacked, it is actually Just a twisted olive shape. In other words, it’s not enough for the Han army to enter the city. They have to face such a fence. The fence is actually not exactly. It should be about two feet high. The wall is protected by a fence. In fact, it is still a rammed earth structure.

It is precisely because of the extreme insecurity of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If the Han army is allowed to advance in an upright posture, due to the terrain constraints, it will not know how long it will take to conquer the first wall. One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians went to attack the outer city wall. Even if the outer city wall was defeated, there was still a Miyagi city wall that was not defeated by the first city wall. It really wasn't that easy to do.

Now, the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was affected by the situation and civil strife. The Han army led by Xie Ai entered Jiankang City at no cost. The only trouble was to remove the strongholds outside the Guocheng Wall that were still resisting.

"Leave some troops, and follow me to the Xilimen." Xie Ai took a deep look at the dangerous terrain, and was extremely grateful in his heart: [The Puppet Dynasty's civil strife is really great! 】

If you want to go to Xili Gate, the marching route is a wilderness deliberately flowed out, and it is said that it is a place specially used for outings.

Xie Ai saw with his own eyes that the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had never forgotten to enjoy it even though it was in a corner. This can be seen from the layout of the pavilions and forest gardens on the road.

There were guarding Jin troops on the outer city wall. When they saw the emergence of the Han troops, they sounded the big alarm bell, followed by the sound of war drums.

"There are a lot of guards on the wall." Xie Ai asked Huanyun: "The turmoil inside the outer city wall has been quelled?"

"It won't be so easy." Huan Yun replied with absolute certainty: "It should be Chu Ba who used the power of the family and didn't dare to mobilize the defenders of Guo Cheng."

The real situation is also as Huan Yun said. Chu Pa didn't dare to mobilize the defenders of the outer Guocheng wall. In addition to really not wanting to defend the city from emptiness, he was afraid that the defenders of the outer Guocheng wall would have the internal response of the Han army, but for Gongcheng Untrustworthy troops are also not allowed to enter.

Xie Ai directly asked, "Does the Huanlord have any arrangements for the defenders of Guocheng?"

"Natural." Huan Yun smiled cheerfully: "General Jieshi will know about it."

The only thing Huanyun is not sure about is whether those who arranged the arrangements will be purged after the incident at the outer city gates.

It didn't take too much time to detour, and only a small rebellious army was encountered in the middle. Xie Ai led the troops to Shitoujin on the east side of the stone city, and his brows were very tight at first glance.

On the north side of the stone city, there is only one passage in the double folder that can be accessed, and there are several passages on the east side.

"The defender..." Xie Ai frowned deeply and said, "More than three thousand."

In the direction of Stone Town, on the edge of the cliff of the mountain, you can see that many archers are arranged, and even many eight-jun crossbows are arranged. At the foot of the mountain, the defenders arranged multiple lines of defense consisting of horse-rejecting and fences, and the number of defenders who just watched the deployment would not be less than one thousand.

Xie Ai, who was observing the Stone Town, noticed a movement and looked to the southeast, where not many people shouted loudly, and the crowd appeared dense.

The composition of the visitors looks very mixed, most of them are folk costumes, and a few are dressed in military uniforms of the Jin army.

The southwest side of Shitoujin is on the edge of the Yangtze River. The crowd came close to the outer city wall. The defenders above did not attack the crowd. So with your knees, you can know that the person is standing on the side of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Huan Yun twitched his cheeks when he saw the appearance of the person at the head, and said to Xie Ai: "The man here is Yin Hao's brother, whose name is Yin Kang. There are also noble families such as the Guo family, the Lu family, and the Zhu family."

Xie Ai has a clear idea of ​​the big family and big family of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Some families between the first-rate and second-rate families have also studied a little. Whenever they hear it, they probably know who they are. White.

"I didn't expect the Sima family to have a legacy." Xie Ai turned to look at his lieutenant, and ordered: "The cavalry rushed to disperse. If you don't retreat, you will kill them all."

The order was issued, and the roaring horseshoes were slammed in a moment when the five hundred Han army cavalry were dispatched. They didn't rush to the crowd directly, after all, the crowd was within the cover of the archers on the outer city wall.

Yin Kang was the one carrying the "righteousness" flag in his hand. He looked like he was about forty years old. He looked at death as his home, and shouted, "Fight with the thief army!"

If you understand the family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you will find that the person with a face is basically the second son or concubine in the family, and there is absolutely no such person as the eldest son.

Huan Yun had an extremely good idea of ​​why there were such people. It was nothing more than that the family who was not completely rotten still valued integrity, and showed family integrity at the cost of pebble hitting a rock. He can even guess what those families will do next. Waiting for the death of these people is really dead, which means that their families do not owe the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and then these families can surrender to the Han nation with peace of mind.
