Chapter 074: Forcing the Palace
On a cold winter night, there were no stars shining in the night sky, and the moonlight was subtle, like a candle flame that seemed to be about to burn out, only a faint light shone outward. The night was dark like a curtain covering the entire sky.
Because the rebels were stationed outside the city, although they had not yet fallen into battle, the army besieged the imperial city, and the people in the city were in danger, and no one dared to go out at night. Because the city is very quiet, there is no bustling and joyful atmosphere on weekdays.
The night was dark, and the silent streets began to be crowded, and before midnight arrived, a handful of firelight suddenly poured out, lining the palace of the Southern Zhou Dynasty as bright as day, and countless torches were lit, moving regularly, gathering, and then forming a long line, which drained the entire palace around the ground.
"General, according to your orders, the exits of the palace have been surrounded, and we can give the order to start the attack."
Deputy General Sun beside Lin Guangyao was full of red light, and the essence and greed revealed in his eyes were even more strange under the light of the night and torches, which made people feel cold.
As long as tonight passed, he could finally get the person he had dreamed of for twenty years, how could he not be excited. He has been a cow and a horse by Lin Guangyao's side for more than 20 years, just to get Lin Guangyao's daughter, Lin Xuanyi.
At a glance at the first sight, he was deeply rooted in love and couldn't extricate himself. Later, Lin Guangyao, for the sake of power and wealth, sent his daughter to the palace to compete for the favor of the concubine, he was heartbroken and vowed to get her one day!
Because he knew that with Lin Guangyao's ambition and greed, he would not be satisfied with just being a relative of the emperor for a lifetime, and what he finally wanted was the most noble in the world - the throne!
Lin Guangyao was dressed in iron armor, fully armed, sitting on a horse majestically, his face was full of pride and satisfaction in his hand, and nodded at Vice General Sun who was standing on the ground, signaling that he could start shouting.
"Listen to the Praetorian Guards in the palace! You're surrounded by our hordes! Just lay down your arms, open the door and surrender, and spare your lives! ”
"Don't think about it! Lin Guangyao! In vain, as a relative of the emperor and the emperor, you have been favored by the emperor, and you have done such a great rebellion and a great crime of rebellion to destroy the nine clans! ”
"Who are the thieves? Let your commanders come and speak to him! Lin Guangyao saw such a big battle, and it was an unfamiliar voice that replied.
"If you don't change your name, you won't change your surname, I'm the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, Xia Zhiguang!"
"Your Commander Chen can't be afraid and fled! Hahahahaha....... Let you defend the palace with an unknown deputy commander, joke! Lin Guangyao smiled presumptuously, his tone was raging, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart. There is no reason that Chen Chong, who is the commander of the Praetorian Guard, will not be in the palace, and the eyeliner in the palace says that everything is normal in the palace, so he will take a risk, and in the state of the stalemate between the king of Huainan and the Yulin army, he will take the first step to 'capture the thief and capture the king first', take advantage of the chaos to take the palace, and after everything is under control, he will cooperate with the army outside the city, and take the Yulin army and the rebel army of the king of Huainan who refuse to change hands.
"Where did Chen Bei go?" Lin Guangyao was extremely angry! If it weren't for Zhao Sizhuo and Lin Feng handing over the palace guards to outsiders, he wouldn't have to bother here today! He can buy a lot of people, but this Chen Bei is the nephew of his nemesis, his former Taifu Chen Hongji, and he will never join him.
"Don't talk nonsense with them! Quick! Be sure to take the palace before dawn! ”
At the sound of an order, a team of men and horses led by him began to attack.
Unlike the expected smooth attack, although the Praetorian Guard was small in number, the palace was impregnable, and there were no large-scale siege weapons to attack the city, so it was not so easy to attack.
"General, what should I do?"
"Go get gunpowder!"
At this moment, a dense rainforest-like arrow was shot from the palace, and wails were heard all over the field.
