Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 222 The army enters the city and takes control of the capital!
Zhu Youtang's voice was not loud, but there were eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department who reported for him.

As soon as Zhu Youtang finished speaking, Gao Shun took the order and left, while the eunuch from the Imperial Household Department shouted in a shrill voice towards the front.

"Your Majesty has ordered that the troops in front quickly remove the barricades!"

At the same time, Gao Shun's Xianzhen Camp also quickly formed a charge formation under Gao Shun's command.

Be ready to charge at any time and march towards the capital!
The troops under the city walls of the capital also heard the orders from the eunuchs of the Imperial Household Department.

Those local troops that had surrendered to Zhu Youtang immediately withdrew from the battle circle and moved away the barricades blocking the city gates.

After the barricades were removed, Gao Shun immediately gave orders.

"The trap camp, listen up, the whole army charges!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gao Shun led the charge.

Behind him, the 70,000-strong army of the Xianzhen Camp also launched a charge.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The sound of horse hooves rumbled and the shouts of killing shook the sky!
The 70,000-strong Xianzhen Camp army rushed towards the city gates of the capital like a black steel torrent.

Those local troops who had surrendered to Zhu Youtang and were blocking the city gates of the capital city gave way to them, leaving a path for the Xianzhen Camp to kill.

Those Liaodong border troops who still obeyed Cao Li and Yu Shen were caught in a dilemma between avoidance and blocking.

Their original intention was to escape.

But Cao Li and Yu Shen, who were in despair on the city wall, had already regarded this army as their last straw.

"Don't evade! Charge! Charge quickly! Stop them from approaching the city gate!"

They would not allow this army to escape, because if they did, the gates of the capital city would be exposed to the iron hoofs of the Xianzhen Camp without any obstruction!

There was no other way, so some loyal Liaodong border troops chose to continue to obey Cao Li and also launched a charge against the Xianzhen Camp.

Some other border troops whose stance was not firm followed the local troops and ran to both sides in panic.

"kill!"

In the blink of an eye, the two armies that were charging at each other were already in close combat!

The Xianzhen Camp attacked the Liaodong border troops who were rushing to respond with unmatched momentum.

Gao Shun raised the sword in his hand high, and then chopped it down fiercely!

Blood splattered everywhere, heads flew everywhere, and the Liaodong border troops who stood in front of the trap camp were instantly turned into corpses.

The Xianzhen Camp's momentum continued unabated, and the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp behind them also raised their swords and killed the enemies in front of them.

“Ah! Uh uh uh…”

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

"Run! Run!"

"..."

There were wails and screams everywhere on the Liaodong border, mixed with the sound of swords and spears cutting into flesh, and the rustling sound of blood spurting out.

The area in front of the capital city suddenly turned into a bloody hell.

After a round of charge, the Liaodong border troops that stood in front of the Xianzhen Camp had all become corpses.

The remaining Liaodong border troops had been completely defeated and were fleeing everywhere wailing!

The Liaodong border troops that entered Beijing totaled only 50,000.

And there were only 20,000 people who were actually organized to resist the charge of the Xianzhen Camp.

With such a small number of people, the Xianzhen Camp easily defeated them!

Zhu Youtang saw that the Xianzhen Camp, which was leading the charge, had achieved a great victory.

He was immediately shocked and ordered: "Three thousand battalions, listen up, immediately chase and kill the fleeing rebels!"

"Leave no one behind!"

"Fifth Army Battalion and Divine Machine Battalion, listen up and immediately assist the Xianzhen Camp in attacking the city!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of light cavalry came out in full force.

Start hunting down the fleeing Liaodong rebels!

Thousands of fleeing rebels were caught up by three thousand battalions of cavalry and then killed with one sword.

Outside the capital, lives were lost and corpses were everywhere!

The blood gathered into a long river, flowing freely on the field of corpses!
At the same time, the Shenji Camp and the Wujun Camp launched an entire army to attack, rapidly approaching the gates of the capital city!

The capture of the capital is just around the corner!
At this time, Zhu Youtang lightly pulled the reins, rode his Ferghana horse, and slowly approached the capital.

Wang Zhi, Liu Jin and Mou Bin immediately tensed up and rode out on horseback, accompanying Zhu Youtang.

In an instant, tens of thousands of factory guards took action and deployed in layers to protect Zhu Youtang closely in the center.

On the battlefield outside the city, hundreds of thousands of people were fighting fiercely.

The Xianzhen Camp, the Wujun Camp and the Shenji Camp were attacking the city, while the Sanqian Camp and those local troops who had defected from the battlefield were chasing after the fleeing Liaodong rebels.

The scene was bloody and chaotic, and the shadow of death hung over the small battlefield outside the city.

Wailing and screaming were heard everywhere, and one rebel after another continued to die outside the city.

When Zhu Youtang got close enough, he drew the emperor's sword from his waist and pointed it at Yu Shen on the city wall.

"Everyone in the city, listen up! Open the city gates immediately and welcome me into the capital!"

After hearing this, the army outside the city became even more excited and attacked the city more fiercely.

"Open the city gates immediately! Welcome His Majesty into the capital!"

"Open the city gates immediately! Welcome His Majesty into the capital!"

"Open the city gates immediately! Welcome His Majesty into the capital!"

"..." Not only the Xianzhen Camp, the Five Army Camp and the Shenji Camp, but even the local troops also joined the siege.

Their roar was deafening, piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks!
The entire capital city was shrouded in their roars.

The gate of the capital city is crumbling!
The only thing that Yu Shen, who was on the city wall, felt fortunate at this moment was the order he had previously issued to all his soldiers to go out of the city to meet the enemy and not leave a single soldier in the city.

If these local troops were left on the city walls to resist Zhu Youtang's siege.

These local troops immediately turned against Zhu Youtang as soon as they saw him and had already opened the city gates of the capital.

Just when Yu Shen was still feeling fortunate, thousands of factory guards suddenly appeared in the capital and rapidly approached the city gate!

They were the factory guards who were left in the capital by Zhu Youtang.

Before this, both Zhou's faction and Yu Shen's faction had tried to command and mobilize them.

But without exception, they all failed!

Even if Yu Shen gave them orders in the capacity of Emperor Zhu Youlang, they remained unmoved.

Because they only obey Zhu Youtang!

At this moment, Zhu Youtang's troops were already outside the gates of the capital.

At the same time, an order was issued to open the city gates as soon as possible.

After hearing Zhu Youtang's order, the factory guards in the city immediately put down all their work.

They appeared from every corner of the capital and rushed to the city gates at the fastest speed!

The actions of the factory guards immediately alarmed everyone in the capital.

Cao Li, who was on the city wall, was the first to discover the changes in the capital.

When he saw the densely packed factory guards in the city rushing towards the city gate at their feet from all directions.

Suddenly my legs went weak, my vision went dark, my whole body was shaking, and I felt like the sky was falling!

"Master Yu! Master Yu! It's bad! It's bad!"

"All the factory guards in the capital are coming here!"

Cao Li shouted in panic and looked hurriedly at Yu Shen beside him.

"what?!"

Yu Shen quickly turned around and saw the scene that made him collapse.

Thousands of Jinyiwei rushed to the city gates of the capital.

Needless to say, their purpose was to open the door for Zhu Youtang and welcome him to Beijing!
Yu Shen instantly felt cold from head to toe, and shouted in panic: "Stop them, stop them quickly, don't let them get close to the city gate!"

Cao Li looked sad and desperate: "Master Shao Bao, all the soldiers are outside the city, and there is no one in the city who can stop them!"

"Master, we failed!"

Yu Shen's eyes were empty and his expression was frozen: "No, no, I didn't lose, I haven't lost yet!"

"I can definitely defend the capital, and I can definitely stop the emperor from returning to the capital!"

"Think of a solution. I'll think of another solution..."

Yu Shen spoke tremblingly as he stumbled to the city wall.

Cao Li sat down dejectedly, with tears of blood flowing from his eyes!
The mutineers lost miserably!
He felt extremely regretful and hated himself for choosing to join Yang Tong in the mutiny.

He hated himself even more. Why did he, when serving as the commander-in-chief in Liaodong, draw a salary without doing any work, embezzle the food and wages of the lower-level soldiers, and smuggle arms to the Jiannu?
If he had not embezzled so much silver, if he had not made profits from smuggling, he would not have risked following Yang Tong in a mutiny because he was afraid of Zhu Youtang's border patrol.

Now, the mutiny launched by Yang Tong has completely failed.

And he, too, was going to die.

Then what was the point of him embezzling so much money before? !
I regret it! I regret it!

Just when Cao Li was regretting, thousands of factory guards had arrived at the city gate of the capital and worked together to open the city gate of the capital!

The city gates are open and the capital has been broken!

"The city gates are open. Enter the capital quickly, control the situation, and welcome His Majesty into the capital!"

Gao Shun roared and rushed into the capital city immediately!

When the gates of the capital city were opened, the Xianzhen Camp and the Five Army Camps immediately rushed into the capital city and quickly occupied every inch of the streets in the capital city.

The Shenji Camp quickly climbed up the city wall and took over the capital's wall as soon as possible.

The local troops who had surrendered stood on both sides of the capital's gate, waiting anxiously.

The cavalry of the Three Thousand Battalions were still chasing down the deserters of the Liaodong border army.

In fact, a large number of soldiers from the Liaodong border army had already tried to surrender to Zhu Youtang.

But Zhu Youtang’s order was not to leave anyone behind!
Zhu Youtang will not kill any of those who know that their opponent is Zhu Youtang but still dare to draw their swords against him!

After the Xianzhen Camp, the Wujun Camp and the Shenji Camp had entered the city, more than 10,000 factory guards followed them into the city.

After entering the city, they immediately occupied all places near the city gates and eliminated all potential dangers that might be detrimental to Zhu Youtang.

After the army entered the city, it progressed rapidly and encountered almost no obstacles, and took firm control of the capital.

Compared with the strict defense outside the city, the resistance forces inside the city can be completely ignored.

Zhu Youtang's army swept away all obstacles with great force and brought the capital back under his control.

Just as the army was entering the city, a figure fell straight down from the city wall!

"Master Yu?!"

"Mr. Shangshu!"

"Master Shaobao!!!"

"..."

There were roars of horror all around.

The main person in charge of the second defense of the capital, Yu Shen, the Shao Bao, fell into the city!
