The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. Liu Yu knew that there might be a conspiracy in the Cui Palace of Lu Daofeng, but he couldn't avoid it, from the beginning of his usurpation, it was expected that the people in the court would definitely rebel, but in the past two years, the pressure he received in the court was too small, and even made him think that power was so easy to obtain.

But in the face of power, everyone is a madman, not only him Liu Yu, but everyone else will also covet the authority of the world. Even if Su Zhe doesn't jump out, there will still be descendants of the Su family, or loyal ministers of the Su family, who will fight to the death with him. Liu Yue knew that the people he was going to face were the ones who came to fight with him.

"Erhu, rush in and take everyone down!" Liu Yu gave the order to attack Huo Ill.

At the same time, Liu Yu gave an order to Li Mi who came later: "Block the city gate and the palace gate, and if anything happens, the army cannot be allowed to enter the city!" ”

The two orders were executed almost at the same time, which was equivalent to Liu Yu handing over the task of guarding the inner city and the palace to Li Mi, and the task of purging Huo Ai. Liu Yu, as the commander-in-chief, did not join any party, he just wanted to see what tricks those people behind the scenes could play with him.

As long as he kills all the people in the palace, then the problem will be solved.

Huo Zhi took his subordinates directly to the front of Fengcui Palace, a bunch of people pushed the door, but they were not allowed to enter, Huo Yi had to change to let people bang on the door, the palace gate of Fengcui Palace was not solid, and it had been knocked open by the new army soldiers in a few strokes, and the new army soldiers were about to rush in, but they heard gunshots. It was from inside the palace, and with the sound of gunfire, the soldiers of the new army fell a lot, and the round of charge organized by Huo Yi was also blocked.

With the sound of gunshots. Liu Yu realized. It turned out that the rebels inside also had firearms in their hands. It's bad for him. Originally, he was relying on the lead in weapons, but now that the opponent has the same firearms as him, the advantage in weapons is equivalent to being reduced, but he still has an advantage in numbers. No matter how many rebels there are, a palace cannot hold thousands of people.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, Liu Yu also took a few steps back, and between the palace and Liu Yu, the soldiers of the new army had already set up their shields. The shield is not only protected against arrows. It can also block most bullets. In this way, it is tantamount to turning a strong offensive battle into two sides holding each other, and both sides attacking and defending each other.

But Liu Yu's strength is that the offensive is fierce, because of the courage of Huo Yao's department, Liu Yu is not worried that Huo Yi can lead troops to attack Fengcui Palace. At this time, at the gate of the palace, there was also a hand-to-hand battle between hand-to-hand combat, and some "rebels" wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Forest Army were in a fierce exchange of fire with the Huo Sick Department, and Liu Yu looked into the palace. Because the palace gate was only partially broken, and the light in the Fengcui Palace was dim. He was not in front of Fengcui Palace, so as far as he could see, he couldn't see how many people were inside, and who they were.

Huo's department crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, and had an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness, and soon they had the advantage, spreading the war to the palace, and then the tragic shouts in the palace continued, some of them seemed to be made by soldiers, and many of the voices were very old, probably from some of the old ministers inside.

With Huo Ill's men and horses attacking, Liu Yu also ordered the follow-up soldiers to go to support at the same time, Huo Ill brought only two or three hundred people this time, plus the previous loss, now there are less than two hundred people left, and the palace is full of fighting, obviously the rebels also have a lot of people, Liu Yu did not dare to hold up, let Huo Ill fight alone in front of the whole army to be annihilated.

Then more people poured into the Fengcui Palace, just when the big move was about to be decided, suddenly a violent explosion sounded in the palace, and then the explosions sounded one after another, hindered by this explosion, first the follow-up reinforcements withdrew from the Fengcui Palace, and soon, the Huo Illness Department also withdrew from the Fengcui Palace.

When Liu Yu saw Huo Ill again, he also roughly understood the tragedy of the war in the palace. Huo was covered in blood, and that appearance was similar to crawling out of the bloody water. Huo Yi also had colors on his body, so that Liu Yu couldn't tell whether the blood on his body was his own or someone else's. Huo Yi organized a defense on the one hand, and a retreat on the other. This is in stark contrast to General Huo Xiao, who was invincible in battle and had always charged.

In other words, Huo Disease's battle this time failed.

Liu Yu soon saw how Huo Zhi failed, and there were people wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Forest Army rushing out of it, and they rushed out without doing anything else, and directly pounced on the soldiers of the New Army in front of them, and pounced on the people in Huo Yao's department, as if they were going to step forward to commit suicide, but Huo Yao's department did not dare to confront them head-on. Anyone who is on the right side will soon have a small explosion, followed by a cloud of flesh and blood.

Suicide bombers?

Only then did Liu Yu realize how fierce the rebels in the road were, hung gunpowder on his body, and then fought the new army in a suicidal way. As a result, the superiority of the Forces nouvelles in weapons and numbers was lost, and they even gained the upper hand psychologically, and the enemy was so desperate that they were all family, dwarfed by them.

Soon, Huo's department had already withdrawn from Fengcui Palace, and the rebels on the opposite side who were covered with gunpowder and firecrackers did not start a chase, because when they arrived in the open space outside, the muskets of Huo's department immediately gave full play to their advantages and suppressed the rebels' further pursuit with long-distance weapons. The rebels continued to retreat into the main hall, while Huo Yu's headquarters withdrew to the formation, and Huo Yi himself came to Liu Yu with a disgraced face and blood, and from his expression, Liu Yu read a very aggrieved feeling. Huo suffered another defeat, this time a fiasco.

There are more than 200 people in the Huo Sick Department, and only forty or fifty people returned to the formation, and the rest either fought to the death, or they did not leave the palace with broken arms and legs, and those who stayed in Fengcui Palace would also be killed by the mending knife. Huo Yi himself also had multiple injuries on his body, and he barely escaped with his life.

"Commander...... I ...... "Huo was paralyzed on the ground, unable to get up for a long time. Liu Yu asked people to check it, only to find out that Lu Daohuo was injured in his leg and was bleeding nonstop.

Liu Yu closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, the strange situation in Fengcui Palace was something he had never expected. He didn't expect this group of rebels to be so brave, Liu Yue thought about it, there are people with such combat effectiveness in this world, except for the Huo Disease Department, only those mysterious forces that blocked the Huo Disease Department in Lingbei in Yuzhou City. And this group of people and horses, Liu Yu thought that they were one of the military forces of Lingnan. Now it seems that it is Su Zhe's people. And these people. It was also the people who kidnapped Su Yan in the store.

"See who's inside?" Liu Yuyu asked.

Huo Yi glanced up at Liu Yu, and shook his head helplessly, Liu Yu stopped talking nonsense with him at this time, this onslaught, even Huo Yu, a stunned young man, was broken, but it didn't mean that he was defeated. It's just a small palace, and even if the enemy has three heads and six arms, he can't stand the thousands of troops and horses.

"Ordered. Flank attack! ”

Liu Yu asked his subordinates to issue an order to attack with a command flag, after all, Fengcui Palace not only has a main entrance, but also a side gate and an apse. It was the main hall of the imperial court, a place where court meetings were held on weekdays, and it could be said that there were passages all around. Even if Liu Yue did not give the order to attack from the flank, he was afraid that the enemy would be defeated and flee from the side gate or even the apse, the first thing Liu Yu had to do was to surround the entire Fengcui Palace first.

As the people dispersed, Liu Yu was estimating how many rebels there were. At the same time, the power of the rebels to carry out suicide bombings was also estimated. At the same time, I realized that it really didn't work. It is much better to level this temple and build a new palace than to lose power.

"Divert the cannon from the weapons station!"

The gentle attack was ineffective, so simply be ruthless and directly use the earthen artillery on the battlefield to deal with these damn rebels.

Subsequently, more people and horses were transferred from the east gate and south gate of the palace gate to the palace, first thousands of soldiers and horses from the city defense department, and then the yacha of Jingzhao Mansion, Liu Yu also transferred all the soldiers and horses that could be mobilized in the entire Chang'an City, and handed over the task of defending the city to the new army soldiers stationed in the outer city.

Liu Yu had learned before that the rebels of Zhilu Dao also included the men and horses of the Southern Chang'an Battalion. But as long as the city gate is closed, the people of the Southern Chang'an battalion want to attack the outer city of Chang'an, which is also a fantasy. Even if there is no new army stationed by Liu Yu, there are still men and horses of the City Defense Division, after all, there are tens of thousands of people and horses in the six divisions of the city defense, and it is more than enough to garrison a city.

With Liu Yuzhong's military order banner again, the new army once again launched the second round of offensive against Fengcui Palace. Because the earthen artillery has not yet been transferred to the palace for the time being, this offensive is still very "mild", and because of the previous "fiasco" of Huo Yuan's department, the new army of the imperial court is afraid of this, so this offensive has not received too good results. As the rebels stationed in the Fengcui Palace repelled the men and horses who entered from the two wings in a suicidal way, the sharpness of this round of offensive was also blocked, and among the soldiers of the new army, after all, the Huo Sick Department was the most courageous, and even the Huo Sick Department had not completed the task, these soldiers were quickly defeated and fled in embarrassment. Subsequently, a certain defense is formed, neither advancing nor retreating.

Liu Yu was angry in his heart, there was such a palace in front of him, and he was helpless. Do you have to transfer the earthen cannon and blow up the main hall of the palace to pieces?

Who the hell is inside?

Liu Yu suddenly remembered Han Sheng and the others, and at the same time, a group of ministers were pushed out of the main gate of the palace, these people were all bound, some old and some young, and one of them was impressive, which made Liu Yuqi's teeth itch. It's Han Sheng!

The ministers of the imperial court were actually taken hostage and pushed out of the palace gate by this group of rebels, and Liu Yu also knew very well that behind these ministers were bows and arrows and muskets, and as long as any of them moved, they would die miserably. Soon, Liu Yu's conjecture in his heart was confirmed, an old minister of the Ministry of Rites, frightened to Liu Yu's side of the whole army fled, only two steps, he was hit by an arrow, behind him five or six arrows shot at his back, he lay on the ground and struggled to die, not only made those courtiers who were taken hostage frightened, even the soldiers on Liu Yu's side, also gasped.

Liu Yu had already transferred the earthen cannon over, and he could storm Fengcui Palace at any time and blow up the main hall standing in this palace. But at this time, Liu Yu also had to reconsider his plan, because even if Fengcui Palace was blown up, then these officials of the imperial court would die, and the imperial court would be paralyzed.

Then, an old eunuch came out of the palace tremblingly, holding the holy decree of yellow silk in his hand. When Liu Yu saw this person, he immediately frowned, he also recognized this person, it was the chief eunuch who was extremely favored by Su Yan in the first dynasty, Gonggong Wu.

When Liu Yu saw Gonggong Wu come out with the holy decree, he felt that something was not right. Because after Liu Yu's usurpation of the throne was successful, Qi'er ascended the throne, and all the eunuchs in the palace were dismissed from the palace, and returned to their hometowns together with Wu Gonggong. And Gonggong Wu is also a pawn used by the rebels.

Letting the old eunuch come out and read the holy decree is obviously very in line with the royal etiquette, and even Liu Yu has to think that this rebellion is very in line with the etiquette law.

Gonggong Wu trembled his hands and unfolded the holy decree in front of him, and he was just about to read it, but his tongue seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say a word. A soldier dressed in the Imperial Forest Army suddenly stabbed a spear in the back of Wu Gonggong's neck, Wu Gonggong fell to the ground with blood flowing from his neck, and the holy decree on the ground was picked up by the rebel soldiers, Liu Yu picked up a musket and shot at him, and the Royal Forest Army soldier fell to the ground with the holy decree again.

A series of events caught people off guard. Even the people in the palace didn't expect such a change to come out, and when Liu Yu put down the musket, no one on the other side picked up the holy decree for a long time, obviously because he was afraid of the musket on the side of the new army of the imperial court.

Not all soldiers dare to shoot, as long as they shoot, there will definitely be a misfire, those who are tied up and kneeling in front of Fengcui Palace are all ministers of the new emperor, and everyone understands that once these people have something, the whole court will be in chaos.

Liu Yu's gaze swept over these people again, almost all the people in the six divisions were complete, but he didn't see Sui Yi and Li Yannian. Sui Yi is on "vacation" these days, and while he is in charge of welcoming the Turkic envoys, he is waiting for the errand of dispatching the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to take up his post in Shangshutai. And Li Yannian, judging from Liao Mingsheng's report, should be with the rebels, maybe the rebels didn't even have the mood to push Li Yannian out to act, and directly "hidden" Li Yannian, probably trying to use Li Yannian's relationship to successfully win over some ministers of the current dynasty after the success of the rebellion, regroup, and quickly settle down the imperial court.

Liu Yu was also a little annoyed in his heart, he shouldn't believe Li Yannian, the old fox, if it weren't for Li Shaer's father and his father-in-law, Liu Yu wouldn't be as good as him. Now it is tantamount to raising tigers, at this time, Li Yannian is a secretary of the ministry, and he has a wide range of contacts, if he really takes refuge in the rebels and Su Zhe, he will definitely be "valued". Li Yannian is an ambitious person, he obviously wants to be the right minister and rule the world.

Liu Yu was thinking about it at the moment, either attacking and reckless of all the consequences. Either postpone the offensive first and see the situation clearly, in such a situation, Liu Yu, who has always been decisive, is also a little hesitant. (To be continued......)
