Chapter 0230: Governor Cao

Cao Sheng replaced Tang Qi as the governor of the Gyeonggi garrison, and the first order he gave was actually for the empress dowager.

He asked Empress Dowager Cao to organize all the people in the palace who could breathe, prepare five hundred light crossbows, and block the entrance of the apse.

When the dead soldiers arranged by Simon Mamori rushed over with the rebels, they were greeted by a dense array of bows and arrows.

In the narrow passage of fifty paces, hundreds of corpses were left behind in an instant.

The palace ladies never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to go to the battlefield in this life.

In this confined environment, they can shoot arrows with their eyes closed, and they can also kill people, and the road becomes a river of blood.

And the one who led this group of palace maids to shoot and kill the rebellious people was the Empress Dowager Cao's right-hand man, Lu Shi.

The Lu family was ruthless enough, holding a long sword, and released many cruel words to scare this group of palace maids, she: If any of them are cowardly, I will not even let go of your family and your family's ancestral grave. You dare not kill, your crossbow machine dare. This thing will be used by a person, and if anyone retreats, I will kill her with my own hands!

A hundred dead men were like a hundred mad dogs, thinking that the palace was empty, and they were going to grab something before leaving, so they rushed to the front, only to be shot into hedgehogs by these five hundred light crossbows.

As soon as this group of outlaws died, the rebels were leaderless, and they immediately panicked.

They were greeted by a group of palace maids who rushed over with crossbow machines, and although they were dressed in fancy clothes, they all looked fierce and vicious now.

An extraordinarily terrifying aura spread throughout the palace.

Simon went mad and the battle went from white to black, and from black to white, and the rain stopped, and the wind rose suddenly, and the attack never stopped.

It lasted three or three nights.

There was not much of the regular army left in Luoyang City, and they couldn't be used up, so let the soldiers command the people to defend.

In the face of the well-equipped and well-trained Tiger Army, the militia suffered heavy damage, both men and women, and the aisles under the city walls were already full of corpses.

Tang Yuan was outside the city and had been standing still.

Empress Dowager Cao came to Wang Yuelou again, and on the way, she walked over the corpse. Now that there are few people and there is no time to deal with these corpses, the Queen Mother's face is full of murderous energy, and she hates Tang Yuan so much, she is still suspicious of Tang Qi.

I don't understand why the emperor would say such a jealous word.

Could it be that between Tang Qi and Tang Yuan, there is something unforgivable?

Tang Yuan did not move, Tang Qi, as the queen, was still Tang Yuan's official leader, Tang Yuan was pulled up by her, many times Tang Yuan and people in Tang Yuan's army had troubles, she had a lot of protection, at this time the imperial city was in danger, did she order Tang Yuan not to move?

Why don't you take the lead?

What are they waiting for!?

——

Ximen Zhensen has not closed his eyes since he attacked Luoyang Baguan, and the old man who is nearly eighty years old can't hold on.

He curled up in front of the table, staring blankly for news.

"Father, Zhang Yunlong can't hold it anymore!" Simon Lang suddenly rushed in.

"I'm not worried about Zhang Yunlong right now." Ximen Zhensen stood up slowly, as if he couldn't stand up, Hu Cong next to him immediately supported him, he waved his hand, signaled that he was okay, straightened his chest and said: "I'm worried about Tang Yuan, this son is hiding behind us, and he has been standing still, which is really a constraint." ”

"Father, if I lead troops to block him, you can rest assured that you will attack the city with all your might."

"It's not that I haven't thought about this method, but ......" Simon Masen sighed: "If Xiao Han is still in the team, he can complete this task." ”

Hearing this, Ximen Lang's face was red: "Xiao Han was cultivated by me, this fault is mine, today I hurt my father like this, my son is willing to die to apologize, father, you give the order, my son will lead the troops to deal with that Tang Yuan!" ”

"Take Zhang Hanshan and Xiao Fei with you, without the two of them, you will be sent to death if you go."

"Yes!"

Ximen Lang ordered 10,000 troops and marched in the direction of Tang Yuan.

They had already discovered Tang Yuan, and the battlefield commander Ximen Kun originally planned to use a division to set up fortifications to block Tang Yuan.

But Tang Yuan is a person, he never fights according to the convention, and Simon Mason thinks that one division can't stop him at all, so he arranges two divisions, so that there are fewer troops attacking the city.

In these three times, there were heavy casualties in the city, and the same was true outside the city.

Brought 200,000 soldiers from Huainan, attacked four passes, consumed 50,000 or 60,000 troops, when passing through Dagu Pass, Ximentai was beaten by Tang Yuan again, and lost more than 15,000 people, and then Ximen Kuo led troops to Tongguan, 20,000 people did not run back a few, Ximen Kuo was also beheaded by Tang Hu.

After the loss of these troops, there were three consecutive sieges of the city, and now there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people left under the old thief.

There are also some serious injuries, which are not considered at all, and there is no one to take care of them, so they can only wait for death.

Even if Simon Mamori's heart is like a rock, he feels a chill in his heart at this time.

"Ximen Lang led the troops to deal with Tang Yuan, although Zhang Hanshan and Xiao Fei helped him, but I estimate that he can't withstand half a day's time. This half day is our last half day, if we can't take it yet..."

He didn't say half a sentence, sighed and said: "Pass my command, order Ximentai, Ximen Qingtian, Ximen Kai, Tong Chong, Fu Huan, no longer have any reservations, give me all the siege equipment to use, and tell Ximen Kun that we have fought two in the south city, and the enemy forces in the east, west, and north must have slackened at this time, let him choose a position and surprise attack." ”

"Yes!"

——

"The enemy is coming." Tang Qi.

Empress Tang had a big belly and hid in the woods with the soldiers, completely lacking the appearance that a queen should have.

She had lived in the barracks since she was a child, and seemed to prefer the feeling of being at home with the soldiers rather than being suffocated in the palace.

Although His Majesty the Emperor treated her very well, it was not the environment she liked after all, and she hadn't been able to come to the army for a long time to "breathe".

Of course, Tang Yuan also saw the arrival of the army, and ordered: "Chen Bao and Yue Pu, you two will take three thousand cavalry to entangle with this group, and the others will follow me to kill Ximen Zhensen." ”

"Hey, I just like this way of playing!" Tang Hu shook the iron halberd in his hand.

At this time, Tang Yuan had 15,000 soldiers in his hands, including nearly 5,000 cavalry, and he gave 3,000 to Chen Bao and Yue Pu, and led the others to rush towards Ximen Zhensen Dazhai.

Tang Qi was about to follow, but Tang Yuan grabbed the horse's bridle and said, "You have such a big belly, what are you doing with it?" The war horse was bumpy, and his heart was moved. ”

Tang Qi raised the horsewhip to hit Tang Yuan's hand, and said with a smile: "You dare to touch the queen's horse, after the eunuch returns to the palace, I will accuse you of the crime of arrogance!" ”
