In order to prevent the "masses who don't know the truth" from increasing the momentum of the soldiers of the inner court army under coercion, eight or nine hundred "elite soldiers" were assembled, including not only more than 530 people directly led by Xiao Xuan, but also more than 100 elite cavalry, because they were afraid that the more than 500 children under Xiao Xuan's army who were only ten days old would not be reliable at all.

As for Xiao Xuan himself, a few days ago, he had doubts about whether he would wear a dragon robe to show his identity when he went out to fight. Wear a dragon robe, right? What should I do if I am set on fire by several archers or sharpshooters of my opponent? If you don't wear a dragon robe, will the followers made up by the other party have no morale worries at all? After all, there are nearly 10,000 people in the Inner Court Army, and if even most of them are involved, the situation may be quite bad? In the end, I came up with a compromise: the close-fitting armor was put on the body first, the outer part was covered with a dragon robe, and the outermost part was a cloak made of ordinary cloth for each young recruit. In this way, when you don't want to easily reveal your identity, you can put on an ordinary cotton cloak, and it is enough to temporarily expose it when you need it.

But this also brings a problem: although the dragon robe was changed and changed by a special person within a few days, and it can finally be put on the outside of the armor of No. 1, it is still quite tight, plus the cloak outside and the weather that is not too cool during the autumn day, and I feel sweaty when I walk out less than two miles away, and my body foundation is not too strong. Only by disguising himself as other young soldiers and standing beside him, Wang Chengen, and a few other close relatives who were in charge of fanning fans by his side did he get used to it a little. Of course, Xiao Xuan was not too worried that this would affect his morale too much, after all, it was a great encouragement for him to personally fight with the teenagers as the Son of Heaven, not to mention that he was still in the rear that most of the junior recruits could not see?

Thankfully, Xiao Xuan, as a lover of modern military history, didn't know when it was reasonable to wear armor. They were worried that their army would encounter a surprise attack in such an environment of civil war in the city before they had time to put on their armor, so the young recruits marched on the road very early. It was not too far from the Imperial Horse Supervision School to the palace, and the officers and soldiers did not feel too tired during the fully armed march.

Seeing the banner of the Son of Heaven on the streets, and such a majestic team of fully armed, most of them, whether they were traders or ordinary citizens, quickly ran away. The citizens at the feet of the Son of Heaven are obviously also very "knowledgeable", and they know what is lively and what is not to be seen.

When Xiao Xuan led a team of eight or nine hundred heavily armed cavalry to the palace, Wei Zhongxian had already received a warning message, even when Xiao Xuan assembled the team to give a lecture on the school grounds. Although many undercover agents or detectives are not as conscious as the villain spies in movies and novels, they dare to do anything, but a simple ventilation report can be done, especially when the management of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is not very strict.

In the sound of special bells and cannons, while the team led by Xiao Xuan was advancing towards the palace, many of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen in all directions of the capital, especially in brothels and restaurants, also knew that something was wrong. In this way, when the team led by Xiao Xuan was in the palace after all, although it was in a defensive situation, Wei Zhongxian's manpower was only about 1,200 people, which was much lower than expected in the defensive operation. Of course, defense is defense after all, and the combat consciousness brought by resisting foreign enemies for one's own interests should be higher than dispatching to fight according to common sense, especially in a better battle. Not to mention the advantages brought by the defense of Miyagi.

Seeing the heavily armed army in the distance, after all, when the army came over, Wuchen Tian Ergeng was somewhat shaken: "Factory... Grandpa Chang, why don't you hide in the huge palace first, and wait for those people led by Chongzhen to enter the huge palace to search around and be a little slack, and then launch a counterattack and catch them off guard? “

Although Wei Zhongxian is not a martial artist and has no experience in leading troops to fight, he can find some people who know the soldiers, and he also learned a lot of things when he was preparing for the Inner Court Army. Knowing that for a "temporary general" plus a recruit who does not have much experience. It's better to resist head-on than to play a little trick, and you can immediately overwhelm the other party. But compared with military affairs, Wei Zhongxian is more proficient in people's hearts and politics.

What will be the consequences if the team led by Chongzhen himself is allowed to enter the palace? Many unreliable elements of the inner court army who see the wind and rudder will quickly defect, no matter where they gather forces to hide, in this palace that is airy on all sides, it is very likely to be the result of being attacked by the opponent first. If he can win the defense battle, or even be lucky enough to solve Chongzhen, then the situation will obviously be completely different. You will also win a little bit of life.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wei Zhongxian finally decided to use the "information advantage" mastered by the commanding heights of the palace and the support of the palace wall to defend during the day and offset the opponent's equipment advantage. At the same time, he used a few sharpshooters who took refuge in himself and a limited number of firearms to constantly target the opponent's command center for speculation. If it really doesn't work, then hold on until night and lead a hundred henchmen who still have some martial arts to launch a surprise attack. Whether it is the new battalion led by Chongzhen himself or the people in the Imperial Horse Prison, it is obvious that they are not reliable border army elites from officers to soldiers. In the face of a night attack by a martial artist with a bit of martial arts, it is very likely that the wave battle without the support of fortifications will be the result of an instant collapse.

"Send a message to Li Yongzhen, Li Chaoqin, and gather all the people. Since the saint is uneasy about the routines and rules, he can only have a head-on showdown with those people in the Imperial Horse Prison who coerce the Son of Heaven to make the tricks of the princes... ”

Xiao Xuan also chose to attack from the main gate or near the main gate after making repeated choices before sending troops, because only in this way could he create the greatest momentum inside and outside the palace and let the most people see it. This is politically advantageous for oneself, who holds the name of righteousness. As for tackling tough problems, it should not be too difficult for those who are prepared.

When the army drove to the square near the main gate of the palace, and when the distance was about a hundred paces, Xiao Xuan no longer ordered the team to continue advancing. This distance is very ingenious, and a person can roughly see the outline without looking carefully, unless using a telescope. Even if the shouting is loud, it cannot be heard clearly when it is not very quiet, so as to avoid various unexpected factors. Xiao Xuan obviously had no intention of discussing or scolding the other party, and when he saw that there were indeed many heads disappearing from time to time at the head of the palace wall, and the other party did not seem to play a game of cat and mouse with him, but faced it head-on, he immediately ordered the artillery team pulling the artillery to bombard with the ammunition that had already been loaded.
