As Lu Bu thought, the team that was ambushed at the corner of this street leading directly to Kaiyang Gate in the south of Luoyang City was Li Ru and his party, of course, neither of them knew the identity of the other party's leader yet, and they didn't know who the person who really fought with them was, but this did not prevent them from fighting wits before and fighting bravely next.
However, unlike Lu Bu, who is at the forefront in both wits and courage, Li Ru can only sit in the overall situation in a slightly later place at this time, and watch the battlefield and watch the show.
With Li Ru's military value, if he really wants to mix into the battlefield, he will find his own death, the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, as a Confucian Li Ru, of course, can weigh his own weight, and will not participate in the battlefield that does not belong to him.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that until the distance between the two sides is less than ten steps, and the people in the front row of each other can clearly see the pockmarks on each other's faces, Li Ru has not yet taken a photo with Lu Bu, who is actually in front of the second of the opponent's team at this time, but is extremely conspicuous because of his tall and prominent figure.
Before the two sides finally met, Li Ru could only order his soldiers to shoot in turns, not giving the other party a chance to breathe, and consuming the opponent's strength and even the number of people to the greatest extent, but this street seems to be quite wide, but it is really not suitable for the archers to let go of their hands and feet, and the archers in each row can't arrange too much, not to mention - although there are not many archers brought by Li Ru this time, it is still very troublesome to alternate the body shapes of each other when they rotate. This also led to a time when there was even a difference in rotation.
Of course, in general, it still achieved the effect that Li Ru wanted, after this charge, the casualties of the other party were almost negligible, even the four people who rushed to the front were only one of them was dying, and the other three were only slightly injured by Cheng Dรน, not to mention the people in the back, the first four people had helped them offset a lot of attacks to the greatest extent.
Even if Li Ru quickly decided to let the archers shoot directly into the sky, it did not achieve better results, and the strength of the opponent's "air defense" was simply surprising - although Li Ru was in the rear, someone would always send the latest battle situation to his side, so that he could keep abreast of the situation and respond at the first time.
Of course, this is inconvenient. But there is no way. On the one hand, we must ensure our own safety, and we must not take risks lightly, and on the other hand, we must try our best to control and occupy them, so we can only spend our subordinates on more errands.
However, with such an effect, Li Ru is already very satisfied. What's more, the main purpose is to consume the opponent's strength. Li Ru didn't really want to cause many casualties. It must be known that Cai Yong, who he decided to capture alive, is among them, and although the other party will definitely protect him well, no one on the battlefield can completely guarantee anyone's safety. Li Ru is also unwilling to take risks, Cai Yong's life is more important to Li Ru than the total annihilation of this team.
Next, the archers stepped back directly, replaced by the main cavalry, and charged in opposite directions.
At this time, there is no longer a bit of trickery, it is a real battle of swords and guns, Li Ru is still very confident in the combat effectiveness of his team, generally as long as he does not encounter the mysterious flying bear army under Lu Bu and the perverted trap camp, he is not afraid at all, even if it is the elite of the elite like Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry and Yuan Shao's first deceased soldier.
But then the results surprised him......
When the street battle outside the palace was raging, inside the palace, in the north palace, and outside the Jiade Hall, the bedroom of the young emperor, the same battle started.
The two sides of the battle are naturally the attackers dominated by Ma Chao and Pang Dejun, and the defenders of the ragtag army temporarily assembled by the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven's dormitory, the remnants of the Yulin Army led by Dong Cheng, and the families and guards brought by Guozhang Fuwan.
Compared with the confrontation between Lu Bu and Li Ru, the battle here is undoubtedly much larger from the beginning, of course, although the venue is still not comparable to the vast plain, but there is a large open space outside the Jiade Palace, and it doesn't matter what it was used for, at this time, it can accommodate more than 10,000 people under Ma Chao and Pang De, although it will still be a little crowded because they are all cavalry, and some people are still going to be squeezed into the nearby roads and even the palace, but it is also because of this that the people outside the palace are even more crowded.
In fact, whether it is from the number of people, or from the momentum and even the purest military combat effectiveness, the advantage occupied by the attacking Ma Chao army is obvious, and even can give people a sense of immediacy that the result is already known without going to war, especially without the city wall, palace walls and other barriers, the Jiade Hall is fully considered as the majestic temperament required as the sleeping palace of the Son of Heaven, all the arrangements are as far as possible to highlight the magnificence, luxury and grandeur of the direction, naturally, can be for Ma Chao, Pound De and the others have created fewer and fewer obstacles, and the cavalry under Ma Chao has really been used for the first time since entering the city.
Correspondingly, the difficulties suffered by the little emperor's side naturally increased a lot, and basically he could only rely on people to fight each other.
However, the young Son of Heaven has no choice on his side, and when he encounters the raging Liangzhou team under Ma Chao, he doesn't know whether to say that it is fortunate or unfortunate, in addition to the fact that the Son of Heaven because of his special identity and Fu Wan seems to have been regarded as their "ally" may be safe, the lives of the following people, including Dong Cheng, will not be taken into account by the other party at all, and there will be no scruples about wanton slaughter, although this is not good news for them, but from another point of view, It is precisely because they clearly understand that they have no way to retreat, that all the soldiers, including the Yulin Army, who has been psychologically shadowed by Pang Dejun, have a feeling of mourning.
It is said that the mourning soldiers will win, but there are many prerequisites, anyway, Liu Xie and others will not have much hope, the reason why they still insist on fighting to the death with the other party is that they inevitably have this layer of luxury in their hearts, but whether it is the luxury of foreign aid or the hope of these soldiers under them can not even tell themselves; Again, Liu Xie was the dignity of the Son of Heaven, Fu Wan and others as important ministers of the imperial court, and they were not allowed to be arrested in this situation.
Of course, at this time, the little emperor will not be allowed to appear on the front line of the battlefield, and can only wait for news with other important ministers in the side hall of the Jiade Palace.
In these days, because of the kind of medicine given by Lu Bu, Liu Xie, who has never been so sober as today, although it is only a short time and only a little refreshed, he has already figured out many things, and at this time, he naturally hopes that he can go out to play an inspiring role, and he can do his best; It's a pity that neither the three ministers nor the ministers will allow it, after all, what is their insistence on in the final analysis, isn't it because of Liu Xie's existence? If something went wrong on the front of the most chaotic front, the battle would not have to be fought any longer, and all of them would have been buried together.
This also made Liu Xie feel quite bored, although with the training and education he received, he actually knew very well what he should do at this time, the so-called son of a daughter does not sit in the court, how can the son of heaven of a country be a daughter? And Fu Wan and the others are completely thinking about him, just thinking about it is one thing, it is still too difficult to do it for a young man like him who has not completely lost his blood.
Fortunately, it also depends on the good training and education he has received, even if it does not involve the imperial prestige, Liu Xie is also a standard nobleman, with good cultivation and demeanor, even if he is impatient and bored in his heart, his face is somewhat visible, but in his own position, he can still sit there peacefully, anxiously but patiently waiting for the news of the battle outside to come in.
As for the ministers who sat down, on the one hand, their attention was attracted by the battlefield where the noise outside shook the sky but nothing could be seen, and on the other hand, they did not dare to offend Tianyan lightly, so they were not afraid of being discovered by them, not only destroying the majesty of the emperor, but also causing their inner turmoil, after all, the current Liu Xie was not only their key object of protection, but also their backbone.
