Chapter 171: The Wolf and the Lamb (I)
The hearts of many forbidden soldiers were dripping blood, and there was a faint coolness.
Li Zenan finally stood at the top of the Linfeng Terrace, and he looked down at the Qiming Palace.
Although His Majesty Nanwu in the Qiming Hall couldn't see him, he couldn't see the other party.
Li Zenan put his hand forward and pointed to the banner of Nanwu hunting.
The Northern Tang soldiers began to shout.
The sound is getting louder and louder.
The forbidden army of Southern Wu and the guards with swords in front of the emperor were silent under the banner, a suppressed silence.
Many things are no longer important, what is the survival, glory, life and death of Nanwu.
What matters is the thing itself, that's all.
Guan Yanyue swung forward with a knife.
The Northern Tang army began to charge.
The Southern Wu Forbidden Army and the sword-armed guards in front of the Imperial Palace also began to charge.
……
……
The largest and largest forces in the Nanwu Palace have gathered in front of the Qiming Palace, and in other places, only the most loyal and beloved people are willing to stay, and of course more people have been dismissed before Jinling was besieged.
But there were still too many people, and the weak ones remained.
In the Bailu Palace, several imperial concubines and some concubines of Southern Wu gathered together, desperately waiting for the nightmare to come.
It is said that Emperor Wu's ambition is greater than that of conquering women, but this does not mean that there will be too few beauties in his harem.
It's just that some beauties were only glanced at by the overlord who was already old at the time of the draft, and then never seen again.
They once enjoyed the glory and wealth without having to think about serving an aging emperor, except that they could not marry a man of the same age, but they were actually winners in life.
Of course, if Nanwu continues to prosper, this is indeed the case.
But today, the troops of the Northern Tang Dynasty have stormed their palace.
Even sturdy men, under the frenzy of history, will fall one by one, not to mention these weak women who have been clothed and fed for many years.
Almost all the forces in the palace have poured under the Linfeng Terrace, and the person in the Qiming Hall is the object of their most urgent allegiance, and other places will be abandoned, such as the Bailu Hall here.
To protect them, only a hundred or so guards from themselves gathered together, and in the face of the mighty Northern Tang army, this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
Concubine Rong held Concubine Mei's hand tightly, and the two still brilliant plain hands were held together, which was the greatest comfort.
Although they are called concubines, they are only in their thirties, and their pretty faces are still beautiful.
The concubines who were even more weak and helpless in front of them with frightened faces were even younger, the youngest was only seventeen years old, and they were still graceful girls.
Their fate is not in their own hands.
The screams outside came into the Bailu Palace, and it should be that the eunuch who had not hid was caught and killed, and there was also the bitter pleading of the palace maid.
Everybody knows what's going on out there.
The two so-called concubines are relatively old and can pretend to be calm, while the young concubines below are delicate and pale, and one of the concubines can't help crying.
Their status is higher than that of the eunuchs and palace maids outside, but in the eyes of the current Northern Tang Dynasty soldiers, this is not necessarily the case.
There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty rushed towards it.
More than a hundred guards looked nervous, retreated slightly, and retreated to the front of the temple gate, ready to be loyal to these masters who had been loyal for a long time.
"There is actually an army of Southern Wu here!" The official words of the Northern Tang Dynasty echoed from afar, "General Weiyuan ordered to destroy all their forces and kill them all!" ”
People here may not understand the northern language, but they can appreciate it.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was red-eyed, and just now raped and killed a few palace maids, and threw the corpses of the eunuchs into the clear water pool, and more than 30 soldiers held spears and killed them here.
People are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, although there are more than 100 of those guards, but compared to the forbidden army, they are too far behind, and their combat effectiveness is not as good as the regular army, it is estimated that it only exceeds the officials of the various palaces, after all, most of the safety of the palace in the past was controlled by the forbidden army, and their duty was only the palace where their master was located, and the Northern Tang people saw fear and weakness in their eyes.
The guards drew their hook knives one after another.
The Northern Tang soldiers, whose iron armor was stained red with blood, rushed into them.
"Poof"
The sound of the spear piercing into the chest was so clear that it meant that the killing had begun.
In the face of the regular army that had experienced the baptism of war, these guards were as helpless as little lambs armed with their teeth.
Their resistance was no longer a fight, but a knife raised to be slaughtered by the other side.
A spear got stuck between the guard's ribs and couldn't be pulled out for a while.
The Northern Tang soldier spat out, pulled out the Tang knife at his waist, and cut off the opponent's head with one sword.
The skull spurted blood and rolled into the White Dew Hall like a ball.
The concubines in the White Dew Hall screamed and fled in all directions.
Concubine Rong's plain hands were constantly trembling, and she pretended to be calm and scolded in a somewhat trembling voice:
"They are all the concubines of the first emperor, what kind of physique do they become, and they have no blood!"
"All behind the main palace!"
In fact, she was also very scared, but she understood that the matter had come to this, with the strength of her own people, it was difficult to fight at all, and the only person who could save herself may have a special deterrent power only by maintaining her majesty.
The panicked and frightened concubines crawled behind her and Concubine Mei, like chickens.
But Concubine Rong's expression was a little surprised.
Because there was a concubine who did not retreat, although there was the same horror on her face, it was more resolute and tenacious.
It was the youngest seventeen-year-old concubine.
The body of the last guard slammed into the Zhu Gate, and the blood was like a spilled soy sauce.
In this battle, more than 100 guards were wiped out, and dozens of Northern Tang soldiers were killed.
A lieutenant stepped on the corpse, spat viciously, and scolded: "Such a group of southern barbarians can actually kill so many brothers of Lao Tzu!" ”
The red-eyed person is absolutely annoyed and angry at the resistance of the weak, especially the loss caused by the resistance.
Immediately afterward, he raised his eyes to look into the Bailu Palace, and at a glance he saw the beautiful women inside, and his mouth grinned.
The soldiers behind him climbed the stairs one after another and came to the front of the Zhu Gate.
Without the protection of the guards, these fair women in bright palace skirts in the Bailu Hall are a group of lambs to be slaughtered.
"Yun'a, come over here."
Looking at the naked eyes of those men covered in blood, as well as the weak and slender figure of the seventeen-year-old girl, although Concubine Mei was only in her thirties and had no power to restrain the chicken, as an elder, she couldn't help but want to resist something.
