Chapter 209 Passing the position
Fu Zhonghai gritted his teeth and waited for another half an hour before he gave the order: "Commander Shi will lead the troops to attack the rebels from behind."

"Qiu Lishan, Ma Junda, lead the troops to encircle the city from the left and right gates."

"Fu Chenan, proceed according to the original plan!"

"Here!"

Fu Chenan and three deputy generals took the order and set out quickly.

Fu Zhonghai waited for them to leave for a cup of tea before waving his hand: "The rest of you, head straight to the palace! Help the king and put down the rebellion."

When King Dongshan heard the report that the Fu family army was attacking from behind, he did not take it seriously: they had come back from thousands of miles away, under the euphemism of "serving the king", so they had to put on an act.

Therefore, King Dongshan only asked, "How many people are coming up in this group?"

When he heard that only 10,000 people were coming up from the back, King Dongshan smiled and said, "It is true."

It's just for show in front of the world.

"The soldiers guarding the city stopped them and stepped up their attack on the palace gate."

On the city wall of Beijing, the soldiers guarding the city saw that the Fu family army had carried out many wooden ladders and placed them end to end under the city wall.

They were a little curious: What is Fu Jiajun doing?
Fu Jiajun connected several metal components to the two ends of two wooden ladders.

After the splicing was completed, they placed a wooden ladder at each end and fixed it with metal components.

They understood: climbing the ladder!

This thing is placed on the city wall, and people below can use it to climb up.

But this requires cooperation.

If the defenses in the city are strong enough, the ladder will be pushed down with a slight push from the people on top, and the person on the ladder will fall to his death.

What's the use? !
Soon, they began to approach with ladders.

We are also ready to push open the ladder.

But as the ladder came up, their faces changed.

Because there was an iron thing like a hook hanging on the top of the ladder, hanging directly on the thick city wall!
I can't push it at all!
If you want to push the ladder down, you can only lift the entire ladder up and then push it down.

But at this time, two soldiers of the Fu family were already hanging on the ladder, and the ladder could not be lifted immediately!
The rebels defending the city turned pale and asked someone to bring machetes.

But when he chopped it down with a knife, sparks actually came out of the hook!
The rebels then discovered that the two hooks were actually made of pig iron, but they were painted black with ink in order to paralyze them...

The ladder cannot be cut by a knife or pushed by a person, so it is not so easy for people to fall down when they climb up.

Dozens of ladders were densely hung on the city wall, defending this side while fearing that the other side would be missed.

The rebels defending the city on the city wall were struggling to survive, but suddenly a few shouts came from behind: "Rebels, give up your lives..."

A team of Fu family soldiers actually came up from the tunnel that Fu Chenan had prepared when he was doing business.

There was chaos on the city wall...

In less than half an hour, the outer city of the capital that had just been captured was taken down by Fu's army.

The King of Dongshan then realized that the Fu family army was not joking! They were really "serving the king"!
King Dongshan was horrified and immediately ordered his men to attack the palace as quickly as possible at all costs.

At this moment, the gate of the imperial palace finally couldn't withstand the bombardment of the giant tree and collapsed.

King Dongshan was instantly overjoyed again: as long as they rushed into the palace and captured the emperor, the Fu family army would naturally be afraid to act rashly, and the world would be at peace!

"Soldiers, charge at me!"

Fu Zhonghai deliberately delayed the time of rushing into the capital city in order to allow Prince Dongshan to enter the palace.

After waiting for the King of Dongshan to enter the palace, Fu Zhonghai finally gave the order: "All soldiers, follow me into the palace to protect His Majesty!"

The two forces rushed into the palace one after another.

In front, the imperial guards led by the King of Dongshan and four nobles were fighting in a chaos. In the back, Fu Zhonghai led the Fu family army to rush in. The palace was immediately flooded with blood...

In the chaos, the third prince was the most unlucky. He was the first to be shot by arrows, spitting blood from his mouth and dying in the northwest.

The fourth prince was also trampled under the feet of the rebel army after letting out a wail, and was in great danger.

The Second Prince followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he naturally put the Crown Prince first, and protected him, blocking many swords for him. Seeing the two princes fall, the Second Prince was overjoyed, but looked anxious, and reminded (encouraged) the Crown Prince.

"Brother, the lives of our third and fourth brothers are unknown, you must be careful!"

As long as we stay alive and wait until the Fu family army captures King Dongshan, we will definitely win!
The prince saw the Fu family army pouring in from the palace gate in the distance and felt the same way: "Second brother, you should be careful too..."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Prince, be careful!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost subconsciously pulled the Second Prince towards him.

The second prince looked at the sharp arrow that suddenly pierced his chest: !!!

The arrow just now was shot at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he had already raised his sword to block it. If he had not been pulled back, he would have been able to block the arrow.

But the prince pulled him back and allowed him to block the arrow with his body...

"Brother Crown Prince..." The Second Prince looked back in despair, as if he was meeting his brother for the first time.

The prince was terrified and guilty: "Second brother! Second brother..."

The second prince collapsed to the ground and saw the crown prince being escorted back by his guards.

A rebel general who had just been injured and fell to the ground saw that the prince was about to escape, so he swung his sword with all his might and chopped at the prince's feet.

The prince let out an "owl" and suddenly became a head shorter.

His feet were cut off diagonally below the knees!
Everyone was stunned, and the guards were even more distraught. They picked up the prince and retreated to the inner hall...

After a period of chaos, the rebels first broke into the Qianqing Palace.

Prince Dongshan rushed into the Qianqing Palace in ecstasy, but found only the unconscious prince with a broken leg, the civil officials who were like quails, the underage princes - and the corpses of concubines all over the floor.

King Dongshan was furious: "Where is the emperor?"

A civil official knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is not here, and we don't know where they went... He and the Queen..."

Prince Dongshan waved his hands impatiently: "Take them all away! Search the palace! Make sure to find the tyrant king!"

The tyrant is easy to find: he is in the imperial study.

When Prince Dongshan arrived at the imperial study, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Sitting at the top, besides His Majesty the Emperor, there was also the Seventh Prince.

But the seventh prince was wearing a dragon robe and sitting beside the emperor, looking dumbfounded.

Next to the seventh prince, sat Concubine Qi, who was dressed as the empress dowager.

There were four old ministers on his left and right who were as mournful as those who had lost their parents.

King Dongshan couldn't believe his eyes: "Brother, what are you doing..."

The emperor looked at Prince Dongshan and smiled strangely: "Under the witness of the civil officials in the Palace of Heavenly Purity, I have just passed the throne to the Seventh Prince."

"Now, I am the emperor. The Seventh Prince is the emperor of the Liang Dynasty!"

"Even if you kill me, you won't be able to take over this kingdom!"

King Dongshan:!!!

He could say that the emperor was a tyrant and had let down his subjects, who had poisoned him, and he could demand that the emperor abdicate.

Unexpectedly, the emperor knew that the situation was hopeless and passed the throne to the seventh prince who was only twelve years old!

The seventh prince's dragon robe fits him well, which shows that he was well prepared.

Trouble.

The new emperor is also Fu Chenan’s apprentice.

If he killed the new emperor or forced him to abdicate, he would become a traitor and the Fu family army would not forgive him.

The emperor really did everything he could to survive...

　The hook on the top of the siege ladder probably looks like this in the picture...
