As night fell, several dark shadows left the city under the cover of darkness and gradually disappeared into the night.
Two days later, the siege started again. This time, even Fang Zhiyi went into battle personally. There was no other way. The rebels were like they had taken stimulants and were not afraid of death. It was said that this was a rebel army evolved from a folk sect. They firmly believed that they were invulnerable to swords and guns and could go to paradise after death.
The city wall was even defended for a time, but was recaptured under the influence of Fang Zhiyi who led the charge himself.
The nobles in the capital were in a panic. Some wanted to write letters to the rebel army to express their loyalty, while others wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. However, they all underestimated the Xuanjing Division, which was used to deal with the enemy faction. The number of heads on the Caishikou was increasing.
The nobles who felt wronged wanted to complain to the emperor, but they were told that the emperor was resting in the harem and would not see anyone.
Some old officials slapped their thighs and shouted that Wei Wu wanted to kill them, but they were arrested and thrown into prison in the blink of an eye.
Covered in blood, Fang Zhiyi listened to Gao Liang's report and nodded with satisfaction: "You are much better than that Cao Ji."
Gao Liang looked at the man in front of him who looked like a killing god, and knelt hurriedly: "Thank you for the compliment, General. I am willing to be your henchman!"
Fang Zhiyi frowned and stretched out his hand to pull him up: "Hawk, hawk, dog, I want you to be an eagle, not a dog, straighten your back!" He deeply understood that the secret service agency was beneficial during this period, otherwise those treacherous ministers would be able to sell him and Emperor Shunying out completely.
Gao Liang slowly stood up straight, Fang Zhiyi's words just now echoing in his mind. If he was afraid before, he was convinced now. The man in front of him, General Fang, no, who knows, he might not only be a general in the future, he might even be... Gao Liang didn't dare to think further.
The siege lasted for half a month. The mobilized civilians in the capital took turns climbing the city walls and repelled wave after wave of attacks. Fang Zhiyi was almost unable to bear it. It was on this night that he finally received a secret report.
Looking at the word "㱕" above, Fang Zhiyi smiled, but this smile made the other guards feel uneasy. In the past half month, they watched how Fang Zhiyi fought, and in addition to admiration, they also felt a little fear.
"Issue an order: All wounded soldiers in the Beijing camp who have recovered from their injuries will be given travel expenses, a letter of pardon, and stamped with the Emperor's seal! Then release them."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
Let's not talk about releasing the prisoners for now. What about a pardon? With the Emperor's seal? General, are you crazy? How could the Emperor pardon these bandits?
The fact is, Fang Zhiyi sent someone to find Emperor Shunying, and Emperor Shunying generously sent the jade seal directly to him.
The garrison commanders were stunned. They had heard the emperor trusted the general, but he trusted him so much? He even dared to give him the imperial seal? You know, with this thing, it's possible for him to claim he ascended the throne in accordance with heaven!
However, Fang Zhiyi ignored them. The situation was urgent and he had to take action.
Over the next few days, many captives were released, and Fang Zhiyi even went to see them off personally.
Watching them march towards the rebel camp, the defenders sighed and said, "General, isn't this like letting a tiger go back to the mountain? Let them recover, then give them money and let them go back to fight us again?"
Rumors spread throughout the army for a while.
But Fang Zhiyi did not explain. That night a spy reported that there was a riot in the enemy camp!
