Chapter 377: The Battle of Zhengshuo (5)
The sudden appearance of the ambush soldiers immediately changed the situation in the entire Yuanqiu Altar, and the hearts of many ministers who participated in the conspiracy of the second prince Su Dian were already half cold. At this time, Su Dian was no longer in the previous forcing situation, and was condescending to Liu Yue, and he himself had the idea of retreating.
Ye Wei, the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army, now finally knows why Liu Yue wants to transfer the soldiers of the Eastern Guard of the Imperial Forest Army in advance, it turns out that Liu Yue has long been aware of the abnormal situation in the Imperial Forest Army, if the people of the Eastern Guard have muskets, then Liu Yu's chances of victory are not absolute, even if it is to bully more and less, Liu Yue also likes to do things absolutely and let these Imperial Forest Army soldiers lose in a hundred battles.
"Kill it, punish the rebels!"
Although Ye Wei had never experienced actual combat, he was forced to a dead end at this time, and he also made a ruthless attack, howling angrily at the top of the round mound altar like a mad dog. He understood that since Liu Yue had already prepared an ambush, he had no chance of winning, and the only way was to capture the thief and capture the king first, and directly kill Liu Yu and the new emperor under such a contrarian situation, then Su Dian might still be able to take advantage of the chaos to ascend to the throne.
Ye Wei's order itself was not wrong, but after all, what he was facing was not the twenty or thirty female guards at the beginning, and now he was facing the condescending Huo Illness Department, if Liu Yu faced this scene, Liu Yue would rather choose to lead the troops out of the encirclement than go to the death himself. At this time, Ye Wei had completely lost his square inch, and he didn't even care about Su Dian, and led a part of the Royal Forest Army to rush up the stairs to the top of the round hill altar.
Huo Yi never reasoned with others, and at this time it was the best time for him to play, picking up a short gun and rushing to the front, and his subordinates had long known Huo Yao's character. At this time, it is also a close second. With the gunshots of Cho Sickness. A coup d'état that could have turned a big thing into a small one. It doesn't have to be until the blood is all over the ground.
"Formation!"
Liu Yu gave an order, and the soldiers of the new army immediately used their shields to build a shield barrier on the back layer of the Yuanqiu altar, even if Huo Yi rushed down like this, Ye Wei's Imperial Forest Army could not rush up.
The shouts of killing around the entire round mound altar shook the sky, and the soldiers of the new army who came down from all sides, the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who rose up to resist, and the civil servants and generals who were uneasy everywhere...... The sound of gunfire and sword exchange was accompanied by shouts of killing, which almost drowned out the entire round mound altar.
Liu Yu blindfolded Qi'er and asked her to hide behind her, and Qi'er was still scared. But feeling that there was no danger to approach the top of the round mound altar, she secretly drilled her head out from behind Liu Yu to take a look, and when she saw the chaotic situation below, she immediately retracted her head again. Although she is now the emperor, she still doesn't want to pay attention to the politics of the family and the country, including these rebellions and rebellions, she would rather hide and wait for things to settle down before going home and sleeping with her head covered and forgetting all about it.
This was a killing of bullying the weak with more and more bullying with less, and the intensity of the attack was far more tragic than that of the large army on the night of the coup d'état to quell the rebellion of the two battalions in Chang'an City. Because the situation was out of control, Liu Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and there were not only the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who participated in the rebellion, but also many innocent ministers and generals. As time passed, Su Dian, who had been forced to have no way out, retreated to the first floor of the round mound altar surrounded by people. chose to commit suicide under siege.
With the fall of Su Dian, the other ministers and guards of the Imperial Forest Army who wanted to help him ascend to the throne seemed to have lost their backbone, and their resistance became very weak. More people are fleeing or blending in with the crowd, and as long as they are not remembered to stand or kneel, no one will continue to investigate. The idea is good, but at this time they basically have no way out, regardless of whether the officials in front of them participated in the coup d'état or not, wherever they pass, they will be killed if they encounter resistance, and if they do not resist, they will be arrested. When the riots finally subsided, except for the hundreds of corpses left under the altar of the round mound, everyone else was more or less covered in color or blood.
The initiator of the rebellion, Su Dian committed suicide, Ye Wei, the right commander of the Royal Forest Army, was killed in battle, and the other nearly 200 ministers who participated in the rebellion were killed and wounded, and most of the 500 soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were killed and wounded, and only a few dozen people were captured. As for the officials who did not participate in the rebellion, there were also many dead and wounded, even Han Sheng was stabbed in the left arm in the chaos, when Han Sheng was helped to the second floor of the Yuanqiu Altar to rest, the blood on his body still did not stop, Qu Ning, as the only medical officer in this crowd, stepped forward to stop the bleeding for Han Sheng in a simple way.
Because there were some corpses everywhere in the square, Liu Yue specially tore off a piece of cloth on his sleeve to cover Qi'er's eyes before going down. At this time, Liu Yu could not return to the palace, because this rebellion was in the Imperial Forest Army, and it was also in the interior of Chang'an City, and a purge operation was also going on in the palace at this time.
This side is in charge of Liu Yu and Huo Yuan, and the palace side is in charge of Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu. When everything calms down, Liu Yu will let Qi'er go back to the palace to avoid the limelight for a while.
Liu Yu walked down the Yuanqiu altar alone, at this time, under the Yuanqiu altar, all the ministers were escorted, and many of them who were obviously irrelevant had been let go, standing aside and watching, among which Su Yan was the most depressed. In just half a month, there were two rebellions in Chang'an City, and the first time he was ousted from power, he was lucky to save his life, but this time he witnessed his brother being forced to a dead end by his own master and committed suicide.
Liu Yu walked down, and the leaders who committed the crime had already lowered their heads, as long as Liu Yu said a word, they could be in different places. Liu Yu didn't rush to approach these people, but walked to the bottom of the platform on the first floor, and took Su Yan's collar to make him stand up. Su Yantai looked at Liu Yu blankly, with an almost helpless plea in his eyes, as if begging Liu Yue to let him go earlier, so that he could no longer be in such a bloody killing.
"Get up, you're right, what are you crying about?" Liu Yu scolded, Su Yancai stood up with the stone platform behind him, and the guards on the side immediately supported him. Su Yan stabilized his body, did not speak, and did not dare to approach Liu Yu, who seemed to be angry all over his body, and now Liu Yu in his eyes was like a demon cooking people in hell.
Liu Yu walked in front of the offending official and took a look, the two helmsmen of the Lan family, Lan He and his eldest son Lan Fu were among them, and many of the rest were once dignitaries, even including some people that Liu Yu was going to promote and appoint. The Tao is not the same, Liu Yu also knows that Lu Dao's reputation itself is not good, and there is no way for these people to be loyal if they are not willing to be loyal to them.
"Traitor, you have the ability to kill us!"
One of the officials was roaring, Liu Yu didn't recognize it, it was a young official, although the official uniform on his body was torn, Liu Yu could also tell that it was the official of the Wupin Household Department, his face was arrogant, and although he was pressed on his head, he still stubbornly wanted to straighten up.
"Okay, I like proud men, but you and I are our own masters, and I can only say I'm sorry!"
Liu Yu suddenly drew his saber and stabbed it directly into the official's neck, piercing the throat with a sword. Blood splashed everywhere, and the old minister, who was silent on one side, fainted on the side of his head when he saw Liu Yu's murderous appearance without blinking. (To be continued......)
