Chapter 814 The Change of Linggu Temple

Late at night outside Linggu Temple, Zhang Mingzhen led three thousand dead soldiers in Jiangbei to touch the foot of Zhongshan.

At this time, Zhang Mingzhen suddenly waved his hand, and a large number of black shadows touched Linggu Temple, which was visible in the distance.

In May, insects and frogs were chirping at night, and several Han soldiers stood in front of the mountain gate with guns, chatting and alerting, completely unaware of danger.

In front of the mountain gate, the black shadows plucked the branches and weeds, and the night wind blew the leaves swaying, and the rustling sounded the movements of the soldiers of Jiangbei Army.

At this time, several hand crossbows poked out from the grass, with a cold arrow aimed at the Han soldiers smoking and chatting in front of the door.

A few "swooshing" sounds, the sharp crossbow arrow pierced the night sky. A Han soldier covered his throat and fell to the ground.

The Han soldiers who were chatting were shocked and before they could react, the overwhelming arrows shot like raindrops.

"Enemy attack!" The Han soldiers in front of the mountain gate retreated into the mountain gate while swinging their swords and blocking arrows, leaving more than ten bodies outside.

"Kill!" Zhang Mingzhen pulled out his battle knife and pointed at him angrily.

The Jiangbei Army, hiding in the dark, held a bow and arrow in his hand, lit the rocket, then rolled the arrow and pulled the bow and string apart.

"Swoosh" thousands of rockets rose into the air and fell into the temple. Arrows were inserted into wooden walls and fell on the roof, and a fire broke out in a moment.

Thousands of Jiangbei troops immediately let out a roar, picked up their weapons and rushed towards the mountain gate, broke through the mountain gate, and densely filled the northern army and rushed into Linggu Temple like fish on the water.

In an instant, the Jiangbei army and the Han army guards who lived in the temple were killed in the temple.

Linggu Temple is a Buddhist clean land. There are not many Han troops stationed, and they were killed by the invading Jiangbei army and retreated step by step.

Zhang Mingzhen rushed into the mountain gate, slashed over a Han army with one knife, and shouted loudly: "The King of Han colluded with King Gui, and wanted to rebel, kill me!"

Nanjing, on the Imperial City.

Zhu Yihai looked at the direction of Linggu Temple, and the fire flashed, reflecting half of the sky red.

"Burn!" Zhu Yihai looked crazy and held the wall with his hands.

After suspected that Zhao Ming had threatened King Gui and had the tendency to support King Gui, Zhu Yihai made up his mind to eliminate King Han Zhao Ming, and King Gui, the heir to the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Zhu Yihai decided to summon King Zhao Ming of Han and King Zhu Youlang of Gui into the palace, and ambush the two kings in the palace.

However, Zhao Ming acted cautiously, probably because he felt dangerous and said he would not be sick. King Gui Zhu Youlang was also transferred to Linggu Temple.

In this way, Zhu Yihai could only make up his mind to take action first, so that Zhang Mingzhen could attack Linggu Temple, take all his bets and solve the two kings.

Although Zhao Ming's power is strong, his power has expanded too quickly in the past year, with more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, all of which have been incorporated in the past six months, and people's hearts have not yet surrendered. As long as Zhao Ming is killed, these soldiers and horses can be taken for their own use.

Once King Zhao Ming of Han and King Gui Zhu Youlang of Gui died, the Han army had no banner and fewer people who could command the entire army, and rebellion could not be successful. As long as he was kind to appease and guaranteed the interests of the generals of the troops in the town, the world of the Ming Dynasty would belong to him.

At this time, just as Zhu Yihai was watching Linggu Temple, inside and outside Nanjing, there was already chaos due to the fire in the direction of Linggu Temple.

All the Han army troops knew that Linggu Temple was the headquarters of the Han King. When they saw a fire in Linggu Temple, they were worried about the safety of the Han King. They knew that it would be detrimental to the Han King, and they exploded camps one after another.

"The enemy is in Linggu Temple!" The Han generals in the city shouted loudly, and the streets were full of soldiers running around.

At this time, Zhu Yihai's tense face couldn't help but smile. He looked at the Ming army camps everywhere outside the city, and there was a light of fire.

But at this moment, Zhu Yihai's face suddenly changed and he roared in great horror: "No! I've fallen into the trap!"

Fang Fengnian on the side was shocked, shocked and frightened, "Your Majesty, why did you say this!"

Jianwu's monarch and ministers were all gambled this time and could not allow any mistakes.

Zhu Yihai only had one card left in his hand. If there was a mistake, he would lose completely.

Zhang Huangyan also discovered the problem and exclaimed, "The fire broke out in Linggu Temple. The Han army troops did not go to rescue, but came to the city. Zhao Bo'an and King Gui must have been no longer in Linggu Temple. Linggu Temple is a trap!"

Fang Fengnian looked around and saw countless soldiers with torches stationed outside the city rushing out of the camps like several fire dragons, rushing towards the inner city, with only one or two people running towards Linggu Temple.

If Zhao Ming was in Linggu Temple, the Han army would definitely have rushed towards Linggu Temple, and it would not have been possible to flock to Nanjing.

Fang Fengnian's legs became weak and his face was pale. Zhu Yihai stood there on the spot with a tragic expression.

In the west wing room of Linggu Temple, information shows that at dusk, King Gui was taken to Linggu Temple by the Han army and stationed in the west wing room with King Han Zhao Ming.

Zhang Mingzhen stabbed a Han army in the abdomen, pushed the body of the Han army captain, and opened the courtyard gate. A large number of Jiangbei troops rushed in.

"Search it for me!" Zhang Mingzhen roared with a bloody battle knife.

Jiangbeijun rudely kicked open the doors of each wing room, but found that there was no one.

"Your Highness, no trace of the King of Han was found!" A Jiangbei army reported with a sword downwards and his fists were pressing down.

"Your Highness, King Gui is not here!" Another person reported.

Under the dim fire, Zhang Mingzhen's expression could not be seen clearly. At this moment, Ruan Jin rushed in in panic and said anxiously: "Your Highness, something is not good, the Han army is heading to the city."

Zhang Mingzhen's face was gloomy, "I've been trapped!"

Many generals looked frightened and didn't know what to do.

"Hurry, go back to the city quickly and protect your Majesty!" Zhang Mingzhen roared, turned around and left.

The soldiers of Jiangbei Army hurriedly withdrew from the temple. Zhang Mingzhen led Ruan Jin and other generals. As soon as he left the mountain gate, he saw a large group of Han troops coming with torches.

"Let me!" The leader of the Han general rode on his horse and waved his knife and shouted loudly.

A team of musketeers immediately lined up in front, lifted the musket and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang" the gun flames ejected, and the Jiangbei army, who was leading the way, was immediately beaten to the ground like a sieve.

"Go back! Go back!" The panicked Jiang Bei soldiers rolled and crawled into the mountain gate, and hurriedly closed the mountain gate.

At this time, the torch of the city appeared under the city of Nanjing. Li Chengdong rode on his horse and shouted loudly, "Someone wants to rebel, and follow the order of the King of Han to enter the city to protect the emperor!"

The Jiangbei Army in the city was less than 20,000, and it was impossible to station the entire Nanjing city. Several gates outside Nanjing were in the hands of the Han army.

The generals on the city had already received orders and quickly ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

At this time, the Han soldiers pushed the heavy city gate, and the city gate creaked open. Li Chengdong immediately waved his horse spear and shouted loudly, "Enter the city!"

Outside the city, there were many Han soldiers wearing torches. When the city gate opened, the suspension bridge fell and immediately rushed into the door hole.
