The soldiers on both sides were fighting, and the scene was chaotic, not only inside the city, but also outside the city.

The soldiers under Ouyang Huaiyu in the city quickly opened the city gate from the inside, and for a while, the soldiers outside the city all roared loudly and rushed towards the city.

After entering the city, Ouyang Huaiyu led people to kill Luo Licheng's army without leaving a piece of armor.

Everyone was actively fighting, and Ouyang Huaiyu was no exception, but after the enemy was gone, Ouyang Huaiyu realized that something was wrong with the situation.

Ouyang Huaiyu turned his head, looked at the deputy marshal who was still riding a horse and wearing iron armor, and asked, "Did you see Luo Li?"

Since he broke through the city gate, he has not seen Luo Licheng.

The deputy marshal looked at Ouyang Huaiyu and shook his head, he didn't see it since he entered the city.

At this time, the soldier standing on the side heard the conversation between Ouyang Huaiyu and the deputy marshal, and suddenly he remembered what he had just seen.

So he walked quickly to the side of Ouyang Huaiyu's war horse, clasped his fists with both hands, and respectfully reported: "Boss, the little one saw him just now."

Ouyang Huaiyu immediately asked in a deep voice, "Where is he now?" "In the war just now, the little one saw Luo Licheng get down from the city gate, and then ran away, because someone kept rushing up, so the little one couldn't catch him." The soldier carefully recalled, but there was still some regret in his tone.

Ouyang Huaiyu also heard it, and directly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you immediately go and inform the others, organize the troops, and immediately follow me to the palace."

If Luo Licheng wants to escape, then he must go to the palace, and the palace is also their last checkpoint!

"Yes!"

The team was quickly organized, with Ouyang Huaiyu riding a war horse and walking in the front, the deputy marshal and Xia Zhixue on the left and right sides, and the soldiers behind them, all of them lined up in an orderly manner, and walked towards the city.

Inside the Imperial City, the broken city gate will definitely cause a panic, not to mention that so many soldiers enter the Imperial City at the same time.

The ordinary people in the entire imperial city suddenly panicked, some were worried that Ouyang Huaiyu would kill their ordinary people like other countries invading their country, and some were worried that this war would affect them.

Although they all hoped that Ouyang Huaiyu could win, they were still a little worried at this point.

So almost everyone was running in a panic, running home and closing the door tightly.

At the same time, inside the palace.

As soon as Luo Licheng ran down from the city wall, he rode his horse and ran quickly into the palace, and now at this time, Luo Licheng had already arrived inside the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace, Luo Li set up a horse and shouted, "Someone!"

"What does the emperor command?" A little eunuch hurriedly walked over from the side, lowered his head and said respectfully.

Luo Licheng shouted without replying: "Notify me immediately, and strengthen the guards of the palace for me!"

"Yes." The little eunuch bent down slightly and immediately went out to deliver the news.

For a moment, the entire palace was on alert.

Ouyang Huaiyu led people to the front of the palace, looking at the closed palace gate, Ouyang Huaiyu raised his hand and asked everyone to stand still.

The surroundings of the palace were eerily quiet, and there was no sound inside.

But Ouyang Huaiyu knew that there were countless eyes inside the gate, all staring at this door.

Xia Zhixue glanced at Ouyang Huaiyu and didn't know how he should deal with it this time.

"Attack!"

Since he can't see the flaw, then he will attack it!

The gate of the palace was opened, and behind it there were many guards, all armed with shields and broadswords.

And everyone had a red strip of cloth tied around their heads.

This is the Praetorian Guard set up in the palace! Single

Ouyang Huaiyu's men attacked the interior, but the damage was severe, until finally, Ouyang Huaiyu gave up the strong attack and recruited back the soldiers who kept attacking the palace.

The palace is full of the Praetorian Guards arranged by Luo Licheng before, and its layout is very tight, and it is cleverly designed by making use of the not spacious passage at the entrance of the palace.

Now, even Ouyang Huaiyu can't attack it for a while.

Ouyang Huaiyu glanced at the piles of corpses at the city gate, but the other party's loss was one-third of his loss.

If this continues, even if he attacks, his people will be seriously damaged.

Ouyang Huaiyu frowned.

At this time, the deputy marshal on the left side of Ouyang Huaiyu asked: "The entrance to the palace is too narrow, as long as the defense is done properly, the people inside are equivalent to one enemy and ten, what should we do now?"

The defense here is almost the same as the defense of the Imperial City Gate, and even tighter than the defense at the Imperial City Gate.

Bring someone to fence off the palace! ”

Since there is no better way for a while, then surround the palace, first, to prevent Luo Licheng in the palace from running away, and second, Ouyang Huaiyu is ready to fight a protracted war.

The lieutenant marshal got the order and quickly went down to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for the entire palace to be surrounded by Ouyang Huaiyu's people.

"What are you going to do after besieging the palace?" Xia Zhixue looked at Ouyang Huaiyu and asked.

Ouyang Huaiyu shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry first, we suddenly broke into the city, and now the people in the whole city must be unstable, first go to appease the people and then find a way."

Xia Zhixue frowned: "How are you going to appease the people in this city?"

It is not a trivial matter to appease the people, and if it is messed up, it will not only be unpopular with the people, but will also be the opposite.

Although most people in the city support Ouyang Huaiyu, there are still some people who don't like war, and they don't like Ouyang Huaiyu who takes the initiative to attack the imperial city, and it is still difficult to do so.

But when Ouyang Huaiyu heard this, he hooked his lips: "You'll know tomorrow."

Soon, Ouyang Huaiyu found a soldier and whispered something in the soldier's ear, and soon the soldier nodded and left.

This scene, Xia Zhixue, who watched it, was even more puzzled.

Now, the entire imperial city has been liberated, and the corpse Ouyang Huaiyu at the gate of the city has also been disposed of, and it will soon be restored to its original state.

Except for the palace, it is still closed.

The night soon came, and Ouyang Huaiyu ordered everyone to set up camp here, and the people guarding the palace were replaced in turn.

Just when Xia Zhixue was about to go back to the room to rest, Xia Zhixue saw that next to one of the tents in the barracks, there were five ordinary people standing beside the deputy marshal, and the deputy marshal was still saying something to the five people, and the five people kept smiling and nodding.

Until the five people left, Xia Zhixue was still standing there.

The deputy marshal also saw Xia Zhixue, nodded with a smile, and then left as well.

Although she didn't know what the deputy marshal was saying to those five people, Xia Zhixue could probably guess that this was acquiesced by Ouyang Huaiyu, or directly instructed.

Xia Zhixue didn't think about it so much anymore, and went back to the room to rest, tomorrow may be the beginning of another war, or even faster, she has to take care of her spirits.

The next day, people began to walk around on the originally empty streets, but they didn't get close to the troops, but this result made Ouyang Huaiyu very satisfied.

Looking at this effect, Xia Zhixue also had some surprises: "What did you let people do last night?"

Ouyang Huaiyu smiled: "It's just that those people who believe in us have done some publicity, but I didn't expect the effect to be so good."

Xia Zhixue turned her head and looked in the direction of the palace, the palace was still very quiet as before, just like yesterday.

He turned his head to look at Ouyang Huaiyu again and asked, "Luo Licheng, how are you going to deal with it?"

"What matters now is not Luo Licheng, but to appease the people, Luo Licheng is now a turtle in the urn, he can't escape!"
