Chapter 678: Flames
Recommended Reading: Darkness shrouded the city of Luoyi, and the plans of the careerists seemed to be in the night, full of darkness, and no light could be seen.
In the city of Luoyi, the undercurrent is surging, the forces of all parties are intertwined, the war horses are thundering, the infantry is marching at night, and there are small-scale conflicts in many places, which gradually evolve into violent conflicts.
In the dark night, the people in the city did not know what was happening, but it did not mean that there were no people in the know, many people, opened the door, glanced at the situation on all sides, noticed that there were no people involved, and closed the doors one after another, turned off the lights and rested!
When the night is dark and the wind is high, it is the night of murder, and as a common people, when they can't tell the difference between loyalty and traitor, they will choose to stand by and watch!
Su Pei received Li Zhao's order and began to quickly purge those who were loyal to Han Qi and had ulterior motives in the Praetorian Guard, and fought to control the Praetorian Guard.
After all, this army directly threatens the safety of the palace, and if even they rebel, the Yellow Palace will also become a killing field!
Su Pei handed over the task of purging the aliens to the clansman Su Hong, and he personally went to the station of the Jingshi Guard, trying to lead the members of the royal guards who were loyal to the royal family guards and the dead soldiers in the palace of the emperor's relatives who came to King Qin, and killed the rebellion of Han Qi in the bud.
However, at this time, things start to get complicated!
Han Qi and others, in the plan, took the lead in eliminating and controlling the troops, which was the Jingshi Guard.
Most of this team is loyal to Li Zhao, and there are a large number of them, if they don't destroy the Jingshi Guard, they will not be able to capture and occupy the city gate, attack the palace, and it will become a dream.
Therefore, at the time of the cavalry, Han Qi personally sent the dead soldiers in his family to be loyal to the Han army with the Jingshi Guards, and directly attacked the guards to destroy this living force!
Caught off guard against a fierce attack, the members of the Jingshi Guard did not understand who was attacking, and the camp was plunged into a sea of fire, which followed. It's a killing spree!
When Su Pei led a small number of cronies to arrive at the camp, the chaotic scene was beyond his expectations, but Su Pei was a veteran in the end and had rich experience in battle!
Sensing the chaos on the battlefield of the camp of the Beijing Division's guards, he quickly sent people to light torches, and hundreds of guards held torches high and charged from the north mercilessly.
Not only did they disperse the unprepared rebels in a short period of time, but they also allowed the chaotic rebels to find the dawn of hope, and many people began to gather in the direction of the fire.
In a quarter of an hour, these well-trained veterans, in the chaos, seemed to have found a home, and under the leadership of Su Pei, they began to counterattack the dead soldiers raised by the family lords.
However, in the large camp, there were both rebels and dead soldiers, and the number crushed the members of the royal guard.
Several waves of attacks did not change the situation, Su Pei did not fall in love with the battle, and then led the members of the guard to fight and retreat, and began to transfer the direction of the palace!
After all, if the rebellion cannot be quickly quelled under the current circumstances, the only way to concentrate all the troops inside and outside the palace is to form a defense according to the palace walls, and to stalemate with the rebel army led by Han Qi, so as to win the arrival of the Yan army or the support of the people in the city!
When Su Pei led thousands of guards to the palace, he saw Su Pei's embarrassed expression and instantly realized what was happening!
Hearing Su Pei's report, he learned that the dead soldiers of the family were dispatched one after another to cooperate with the rebels, regardless of the shocked eyes of the people, the whole army quickly moved directly towards the imperial city.
At this time, Li Zhao showed great imperial courage and domineering, not only did not panic, but began to dispatch troops and dispatch troops loyal to him in Luoyi City.
Soon, the royal relatives from all over Luoyi led troops to move closer to the palace and formed defenses under the city, and many people even fought fiercely in the streets with the rebels rushing to the palace.
At this time, an important force appeared outside the palace.
This army, formed by the children of the Su family, led by Su Hong himself, quickly moved rolling wood and stones under the palace wall, built fortifications, and served as the main force to block the rebels.
For a time, Luoyi City set off a bloody storm on all sides, and everywhere was full of war and blood.
However, even if there were the children of the Su family to face the battle, because of the hasty preparations, and the family of gate lords led by the Han family was fully prepared, the children of the Su family could not stop the other party at all, and soon, even the Praetorian Guards in the palace, who had not been cleaned, also rebelled.
Under the starry sky, Luoyang City, which had not been at war for thousands of years, was completely plunged into a sea of fire, and the rebels attacked from all sides, as if the fire beast was moving, bringing serious trauma to this ancient city.
After all, in the 600 years since the founding of Zheng State, no troops from the vassal states have invaded Luoyi, so unexpectedly, there is civil strife in Zheng State today. As a last resort, even Li Zhao and the princes were forced to participate in this turmoil.
Han Qi rebelled, Li Zhao panicked for a while, but became calm, this rebellion is better than secretly not being on guard and being caught off guard!
At present, the Praetorian Guards under his control, the Jingshi Guards, and the Imperial Relatives and Relatives of Luoyi City are all concentrated outside the Imperial Palace, as long as they have the upper hand in the next battle, they will easily eradicate the cancer of Han Qi and his faction.
However, things seemed to have turned out to be unexpected, and the rebels attacked at such a rapid pace that by midnight they had not only taken control of the city gates, but had begun to attack the palace instead.
This kind of speed almost exceeded Li Zhao's expectations, and even Su Pei was surprised, he didn't expect Han Qi's faction to attack so quickly!
The deployment of the city wall has not yet been completed, only Xiang Choice was forced to fight, and after purging the Han Qi faction in the Praetorian Guard, it was not completely cleaned, and conflicts began to occur in many places in the palace.
Su Pei ordered some of his clansmen to lead a small number of troops in the palace walls to clear the rebels.
He personally led a small number of troops directly into the palace and closely protected Li Zhao's side.
Tonight, the gate valve family launched an attack, it was too sudden, they were not prepared at all, they had to hold on until dawn, maybe the people in the city would help them, after all, Han Qi and other family officials led the troops, which was completely a rebellion.
After the truth is revealed, the people of Luoyi will distinguish between loyalty and traitor, and at that time, they may help stop the rebels and resolve the situation in the city.
Arrived at the palace, Li Zhao led the princes, a small number of soldiers, and many eunuchs, all standing outside the Jinluan Palace, Li Zhao was wearing armor, unlike the emperor, to a bit of the taste of the battlefield generals, they regarded this as the last layer of defense, if the rebels broke through the palace wall and broke into the palace, Li Zhao would not hesitate to meet the enemy,
If you really can't resist, you can only burn down the palace and end up with the Han faction!
Seeing Su Pei appear with his own eyes, Han Qi asked anxiously: "Su Pei, what is the situation outside the palace, how long can it last!" ”
"I don't know the end, but the children of the Su family will definitely hold on to the last moment, if the situation deteriorates beyond imagination, I am willing to protect the emperor to the death and fight until the last moment." Su Pei's tone was firm and authentic.
Li Zhao glanced at the other party, and was full of emotion in his heart, Lu Yao knew the horsepower, and he saw the hearts of the people for a long time. At the critical moment, he was the most able to distinguish between loyalty and traitor, and he didn't trust the members of the Su clan before, but in the end, the people who lived and died with him and protected him to the death were all the children of the Su family.
For a while, Li Zhao waved his hand, no longer defending, and said sharply: "Go, follow me to the palace wall, I want to see how capable Han Qi is!" ”
"Father, the palace wall is dangerous, and it may be broken by the Yan army at any time!" The crown prince Li Yan hurriedly stopped, for fear that Li Zhao would ignore his identity and act rashly.
Su Pei also hurriedly dissuaded: "Yes, Your Majesty, the palace wall is dangerous!" ”
Unexpectedly, Li Zhao didn't ask any questions, and said bluntly: "The palace has not suffered from war for thousands of years, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was a minister of the Han family, and today he is still a minister of the Han family, as long as the Li family of Zheng Guo continues, the children of the Han family will be ministers for generations." Today, the Han clan is in turmoil, how can I watch the palace fall. ”
Everyone couldn't persuade Li Zhao, so they could only protect him around, lest he be hurt by the flying fire arrows and move towards the outside of the palace wall.
Ascending the palace wall, Li Zhao personally walked into the palace wall, the highest pavilion, staring at the actions under the palace wall, fortunately, even if the sky is dark, but the war is raging, and the war under the palace wall can be seen clearly!
Soon, Li Zhao found Han Qi's traces in the chaotic battlefield, and the other party commanded the troops to attack the city, Li Zhao was suddenly angry and scolded: "This damn thief! ”
I glanced at the clock beside me, grabbed the stake, and put it on it!
Knock knock!
In the dark night, the loud bell rang and spread throughout Luoyi City!
"Father, no!" Sensing Li Zhao's move, the crown prince Li Yan hurriedly blocked it, if the rebels besieging the city below did not know where Li Zhao was hiding, there might be room for maneuver in the matter.
When the bell rings today, the other party learns of Li Zhao's situation, and he is bound to increase his offensive, and everyone's situation will definitely get worse!
Unexpectedly, Li Zhao not only didn't listen, but on the contrary, the speed of hitting the bell became faster and faster, and the loud bell resounded in Luoyi City.
Han Qi, who commanded the troops to attack the city, heard the bell, his heart was shocked, and he looked at it from afar, under the firelight, it seemed to be Li Zhao, and a smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth, and said: "I really want to die!" ”
shouted to the generals not far away: "Everyone speed up the offensive, Li Zhao is on the city wall, as long as the city wall is broken and Li Zhao is captured alive, today's matter will be successfully resolved." ”
Hearing this, the rebels really accelerated their attacks, after all, today's actions are all about exchanging their lives for wealth, few wings, and if the plan fails, they will be regarded as rebels and will inevitably be executed.
At this time, Li Yan and Su Pei looked at the situation on all sides, and couldn't help but panic, there were not many Praetorian Guards in the palace walls, even if three defenses were formed, even the eunuchs were full, they couldn't stop the soldiers gathered by Han Qi's faction.
If you continue, perhaps, if you don't wait for dawn, you will be directly killed if you don't become prisoners, and you can't imagine it.
However, as the drums sounded, the city of Luoyi became completely lively, and there seemed to be troops on all sides, like Voldemort, who heard the bell and rushed over.
Pay attention to the fire rising in the distance, Li Yan and Su Pei are overjoyed, the two of them don't know what happened, but at this time, a large number of troops appeared, and they will resolve the current urgent need!
Han Qi looked at it, his face sank, and a trace of panic rose in his heart!
