Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 510: King Rongliu was captured, and the attack and defense changed!

"Simon?"

Gao Zhensheng frowned.

The Tang army was stationed outside the north gate, but now they suddenly marched to the west gate. What were they trying to do?
Could it be...

"He's also going to stop the reinforcements from Seoul and other places?"

"impossible."

Wang Li shook his head. "There are only a few Tang troops in total. Now they have to divide their troops to attack the city and block the reinforcements. Aren't they afraid that we will take advantage of the situation and attack them from both sides, leaving them all outside the city?"

"never mind."

"General Gao should go back and take a look as soon as possible."

Gao Zhensheng thought about it and nodded, "Regardless of what their purpose is, we do need to go back and take a look to prevent any accidents."

After Gao Zhensheng left, Wang Li winked at his confidant standing beside him.

It is still a test of one's skills to play this role well without exposing oneself. Wang Li looked at the Japanese soldiers rushing over and shouted, "Archers, get ready!"

"Stack the stones, roll the logs, and prepare the kerosene!"

"put!"

The war begins.

Every once incense stick of time, someone would quickly report the battle situation to the palace.

King Rongliu and all the officials listened carefully to the details of the battle and kept thinking about it.

The Tang army launched a massive attack but did not use any bombs. Could it be that what Gao Zhensheng said was true and the Tang army no longer had enough bombs to use for the siege?
If that is the case, we only need to resist their muskets to ensure the safety of Kaifeng?
If the reinforcements from Seoul and other places could successfully arrive in Kaesong, wouldn't it mean that they could completely cooperate inside and outside to attack the Tang army outside the city and keep them all here?
Thoughts one after another kept arising in King Rongliu's mind.

seem.

The Tang army was not as scary as he had imagined.

The so-called unstoppable force all the way south was based on the bombs held by the Tang army.

Without those bombs, the Tang army's combat effectiveness would be just this much.

The atmosphere in the hall was obviously much more relaxed than before.

Among the crowd, Zuo Fu Jin found something strange in Ming Xin.

Although he didn't know what Su Chen wrote to Wang Li in the letter, he could roughly infer that he hoped Wang Li would cooperate to open the city gate.

But why now, Wang Li led the defenders to fight fiercely with the Tang army?
What is Wang Li thinking about?
Could it be that he is deliberately deceiving us and is unwilling to open the city gate?

"Lord Zuo Fu..."

An official standing next to Kim Jae-myung spoke softly as if he had some doubts.

Jin Jae-myung smiled and shook his head, signaling the other party not to be anxious and to wait a little longer. The other party nodded in understanding and stood there quietly without moving.

Soon, a eunuch ran in from outside in a panic, "It's bad, it's bad, Your Majesty, the Tang army has entered the city!"

"what?"

For an instant.

The originally relaxed atmosphere suddenly became extremely solemn.

King Rongliu suddenly stood up and said in shock, "Weren't the Tang army blocked outside Kaijing City? How did they suddenly rush into the city?"

"I heard that it was Wang Li who opened the city gate and allowed the Tang army to charge into the city!"

"This……"

"Damn it!"

"This bastard!"

"Bastard!"

"How dare he?!"

For a while, all kinds of angry curses continued to sound.

King Rongliu's face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Come here, come here, quickly close the palace gates, and send a message to Gao Zhensheng that Wang Li is plotting treason, and all his clans will be killed!"

"Yes!"

The eunuch nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by several palace guards.

"you……"

Click.

There was a flash of knife, and the eunuch's head fell to the ground.

The sudden change shocked everyone in the hall, and their scalps tingled. King Rongliu was even more horrified and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you planning a rebellion?"

"Where is the general?"

"The general is here!"

"Why don't you quickly capture these rebels?!"

"Don't panic, Your Majesty."

Jin Zaiming walked out of the queue with a smile, and said with a cupped hand: "As long as Your Majesty sits here quietly, I can guarantee that Your Majesty will not be in danger of his life."

"Ok?"

Many ministers have now reacted.

The Imperial General seemed to have been promoted by Jin Zaiming, so...

"Kim Jae-myung!"

"Are you planning a rebellion?!"

"Lord Zuo Fu, you are going to destroy Goryeo."

Facing the angry rebukes from King Yeongryu and some officials, Jin Zaiming remained unmoved and turned his gaze to the general in front of the emperor. "General Li, please guard the palace well."

Li Ren smiled calmly, "Please rest assured, Lord Zuo Fu, the entire palace is under our control."

King Rongliu and others changed color instantly.

The entire palace is controlled by Li Ren?

Then they...

"Good good!"

King Rongliu kept scolding him, "Da Duilu has told me many times to be careful of you. I thought you were just fighting for power with him, but I never thought that you, Jin Zaiming, would actually join forces with the Tang army to commit crimes against your superiors!"

Jin Zaiming: "Your Majesty, the Tang army is powerful and unstoppable. I am also concerned about the hundreds of thousands of people in Kaijing and the tens of millions of people in Goryeo. I have no choice but to inconvenience Your Majesty!"

"You are brave!"

"Even if you capture me, the troops from all over the country are on their way. You can't escape!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much about this. King Bingjian has already made preparations."

Facing the fake smile of Jin Zaiming, King Yeongryu's heart sank to the bottom. The city gate was breached and the palace was controlled by the enemy. How could he deal with the changes in front of him?

While thinking, King Rongliu looked at several ministers he trusted more.

However, the officials who made eye contact with him all lowered their heads and remained silent. It was obvious that they did not dare to confront Jin Zaiming at this time.

after all.

The capital of Kaijing was captured, the palace changed hands, and the only one who was injured was King Yeongliu.

"Bastard!"

"Confused!"

"Don't you think about who Su Chen is?"

"You don't really think that after you help Su Chen get their army into Kaijing, they will let you go, right?"

"Will not!"

"Su Chen will not let any of you go!"

"Just like what he did earlier on the grassland, everyone will die in his hands!"

Although King Rongliu's constant roaring had no practical effect, it did cause some changes in the minds of many ministers.

They are different from Kim Jae-myung!
They did not receive any promises or benefits from Su Chen, and they did not know what kind of agreement Jin Zaiming and Su Chen had reached.

"Your Majesty, please stop sowing discord."

At this time, a burst of laughter came from outside, and Li Tao walked in with dozens of people.

"Who are you?"

"I?"

Li Tao smiled and said, "Originally, I was supposed to be an envoy to Goryeo, but who made you anger the emperor, so that an envoy like me doesn't have to stir up trouble in Goryeo?"

"In the end, I still have to thank you. Otherwise, I would not be able to keep my head."

King Rongliu frowned, as if he didn't understand what Li Tao said.

Jin Zaiming smiled and said, "Master Li, can the prince enter the city?"

"The prince has entered the city, but it will take some time to clear out Gao Zhensheng's army."

Li Tao laughed and said, "Gao Zhensheng is already in a difficult situation, so Your Majesty, please don't expect him to save you."

After hearing Li Tao's words, Rong Liuwang and others looked as pale as death.

Su Chen has entered the city and is dealing with Gao Zhensheng!
Even if Gao Zhensheng still had 20,000 elite soldiers under his command and stationed at the west gate, how could he stop Su Chen's 30,000 troops and the rebellious Wang Li?

At this time, a soldier ran in hurriedly.

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

"Report to Zuo Fu, reinforcements from Seoul and other places are coming!"

"So fast??"

Jin Zaiming was stunned for a moment.

Although the message from Prince Rongliu had been sent out, asking them to speed up, it was indeed somewhat surprising that they arrived outside Kaifeng City so early this morning.

"Good good!"

Compared with Kim Jae-myeong and others, King Yeong-ryu was extremely excited.

Gao Zhensheng may not be able to stop your Tang army, but what about the reinforcements from all over the place?

It may not be unstoppable!
"How's it going?"

"King Bingjian has ordered that Lord Zuofu bring King Rongliu and other officials to the west city gate."

"Ok?"

Jin Zaiming raised his eyebrows, and Li Renyi asked, "Where are Gao Zhensheng and the others?"

"King Bingjian said that Gao Zhensheng is not a concern, and the reinforcements outside the city are not a concern either. All you need to do is head to the city wall."

strangeness.

Faced with Su Chen's order, both Rong Liuwang and others, as well as Jin Zaiming and his group, all became suspicious.

Why did Su Chen ask them to go to the city wall?

Could it be that he has any other arrangements?
"Lord Zuo Fu."

Li Tao smiled and said, "Since the prince has ordered us to do so, why don't we go to the city wall and take a look together?"

"Alright."

Jin Zaiming thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Come here, please ask the king and the other gentlemen to leave the palace together."

Walking out of the palace gate, nothing seemed different outside.

But when we crossed two streets and headed towards the city wall, the scene on the street changed.

Both the streets and the houses and shops on both sides were destroyed in the previous battle.

There were still many bodies of Goryeo soldiers left on the ground.

After seeing these corpses, King Yeongryu's face looked extremely ugly, because most of these corpses were Goryeo soldiers.

In contrast, the corpses of Tang army soldiers were very few!

The group climbed up the city wall and found that Su Chen and others were already waiting for them.

"Meet the King of Side by Side."

"Su Chen!"

"King Rongliu."

Su Chen looked over and nodded happily, "From the look on your face, it seems like you're still a little bit unconvinced?"

King Rongliu sneered and looked around, "Why can't I see that traitor Wang Li?!"

Su Chen said calmly: "The North Gate must be guarded by someone."

King Rongliu: "Aren't you afraid that he will pretend to surrender?"

"Don't be suspicious of those you employ. Don't be suspicious of others."

Su Chen waved his hand, "There's no need to say such provocative words that are not decent enough."

King Rongliu snorted coldly, without saying anything more, and turned his gaze to the outside of the city.

Outside, those are all his soldiers!

There were soldiers from Sangu who fled the city in panic under the command of Gao Zhensheng, and there were also troops from all over the country who came to support the king.

"Why did you bring me here?"

"I don't deserve your advice, but I just want you to see with your own eyes how these soldiers under your command are destroyed."

"...?"

Everyone's eyes towards Su Chen suddenly changed.

There are as many as 40,000 Korean soldiers outside the city. How can Su Chen be sure to kill all of them?

"Gao Zhensheng is indeed a ruthless person."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Same name, but different personality. If you had used this person to stop us earlier, we might not have been able to move into Kaijing so quickly."

King Rongliu had a blank expression on his face.

Su Chen tilted his head and said, "Let's get started."

"Yes!"

dong dong dong.

Drums are beating.

The Tang army, led by Japanese soldiers, changed from being the attackers to the defenders.

But what remains the same is that the Tang army still attacks with great force!
"Now that the offensive and defensive positions have changed, why is Your Majesty still doing this?"

Jin Jae-myung was a little confused.

King Rongliu is in their hands, Su Chen has strong soldiers and horses, and there are enough supplies in the city. Why bother with these people?

All we need to do is defend Kaesong City.

Su Chen shook his head, "They don't dare."

"Don't you dare?"

"On the plains, no one can be our opponent."

As if to confirm Su Chen's words, when the Tang army was advancing head-on, Gao Zhensheng and his troops seemed to be frightened and actually retreated slowly!

How could this be?
King Rongliu widened his eyes. An army of more than 40,000 did not dare to launch an attack on the Tang army?
This……

Why!

Just because the Tang army had muskets?
soon.

King Rongliu then understood why Gao Zhensheng and his 40,000-strong army did not dare to move forward in the face of the Tang army’s relentless advance.

Da da da.

Bursts of dense gunfire were heard, and the Goryeo soldiers who were retreating slower became the front row.

That's exactly what he said.

Those who run slowly are in the front row, and those who run fast are in the back row.

Although there were many Goryeo soldiers holding shields and trying to stop the Tang army, they were completely helpless.

Unstoppable.

It can't be stopped at all.

Even if there were some soldiers who were lucky enough to carry heavy shields and stop the Tang army's advance, they would be blown away by bombs in the next second.

Simultaneously.

As the Tang army advanced, they continued to shout in unison.

"Those who surrender will not be killed."

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"King Rongliu has been captured, why would you want to die?"

"King Rongliu has been captured, why would you want to die?"

Compared with the lethality of muskets and bombs, these words were undoubtedly more like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into the hearts of these soldiers.

They were fighting desperately in the front, even becoming cannon fodder, while those generals could hide behind?
The powerful attack, attack, and attack again made the Goryeo armies outside the city disappear like a collapsed snow mountain, never to return.

Even though many generals shouted again and again, and hacked and killed again and again, trying to force the soldiers in front of them to turn back and fight with the Tang army, it was all in vain.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

It’s over.

Completely finished.

Gao Zhensheng let out a long sigh.

Many of their plans were ruined before they could be implemented because of Wang Li's rebellion.

Wang Li, you deserve to die.

"withdraw."

Gao Zhensheng ignored the reinforcements from other places and turned around and left with his troops without hesitation.

If we leave now, we can still retain a certain amount of military strength and be qualified to negotiate with Su Chen.

If it's a little later, there won't be any hair left.
