Chapter 773: Sending Troops (3)
100,000 elite soldiers were all dispatched, shouting and killing shook the sky, and the ground shook slightly.
It is difficult for anyone who has not seen such a situation to imagine this situation at this time.
Soldiers in armor and blades in their hands rushed to the Imperial Tomb like a tidal wave. The three-metre-high wall, framed by a wooden ladder, was quickly able to climb up to the top of the wall and jump into the imperial tomb.
The "traitors" in the imperial mausoleum seem to be one, but in fact they are faintly divided into three factions. And to each his own ruler. Day and night, there are people on the lookout, and if they notice something unusual, they will immediately be warned by a whistle.
A shrill whistle pierced the night sky.
The "traitor" soldier who was originally asleep had actually been awakened before the whistle. I didn't panic much at first.
Within a month, there had been three such attacks. Every time an official's corpse is thrown, the opposite side will quickly end up with a rush to the end of the army.
This attack was picked at a time when the people before dawn were most tired and weak, which was unexpected. However, my side has already discussed countermeasures. In the lookout building located in the most conspicuous part of the imperial mausoleum, several court officials have long been housed. Killing one and throwing it out is enough to deter the other party. You don't need to use your hands at all, you can force the imperial army's army back.
This time, it will certainly be no exception.
Therefore, the "traitors" who were awakened from their sleep were not very flustered, they moved extremely fast, and in a moment they dressed and picked up their weapons and rushed out.
The imperial mausoleum covers an area of thousands of acres and is extremely wide. The first emperors of the Great Qi are buried here, and there is a large open space for the later descendants of the Sheng family.
Because the imperial mausoleum is extremely wide, the wall is hundreds of miles, and more than 10,000 "traitors" are simply unable to hold such a long front. When the elite soldiers of the court poured into the walls like a tide with torches, the "traitors" had nothing to resist.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the "traitor" guarding the high-rise immediately beheaded a DPRK and China official, and threw the body down the high-rise building as usual, and the bloody head hung from the high-rise building.
Several traitors shouted in unison: "Withdraw immediately!" ”
However, the snare drums on the opposite side did not stop at all, and the imperial army was still pouring in. It's desperate to come in the dark night like a tidal wave.
There were more than 10,000 people on one side, but there were 100,000 soldiers on the other side, which was ten times the strength of the rebel side. There is a huge difference in the number of troops. Moreover, these 100,000 soldiers can be called elite soldiers. As soon as they fought, the "traitors" were defeated one after another.
Just like ambushing and encircling 3,000 royal forest guards that day, he fell to the ground and harvested people's heads.
In a building about seven or eight meters high, more than a dozen "rebels" who were in charge of lookout and guard finally felt that something was wrong.
"Not good! They did not retreat at all! ”
"They're going to take the Imperial Tomb completely tonight!"
I don't know who scolded a foul word: "They didn't even care about the life and death of the court officials." It's so fucking ruthless! provoked Lao Tzu, and simply pulled those dozens of officials over and killed them! ”
"That's right! It's better to fight a fish and die and break the ......"
A man dressed in black with a scar on his face shouted angrily: "Shut up! ”
More than a dozen "traitors" were stunned in their hearts and invariably stopped talking. But there were thick clouds in my heart. Now, what do they do?
Time is urgent, so don't hesitate.
The scar-faced man ordered everyone to defend the tall building, and then ordered someone to beat the drum, and he quickly descended the tall building.
……
The sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of sword clashing, resounded inside and outside the imperial tomb. The light of the torch is everywhere, and it is terrifying to look at.
The court officials, who had been imprisoned for more than a month, were awakened one after another.
They didn't suffer much mistreatment in the imperial mausoleum, living in a room for every three people, and barely enough to fill their stomachs with three meals a day. It's just that every day, there are fierce and vicious "traitors" with sneers on their faces coming in and turning around a few times, their eyes rolling back and forth around their necks. It's like looking for the most convenient place to go under the knife.
This invisible threat and the fear that the long knife hanging over his head will fall at any time is the greatest torture.
Over the past month, the officials have lost a lot of weight, and their faces are depressed and depressed.
The treatment of the royal family is slightly better, such as the prince of Linjiang, who lives alone in one bedroom. However, there were also quite a few rebels guarding the door, five or six.
Several vassal kings also lived alone in a room, and there were more than a dozen rebels guarding outside the house.
As for Emperor Jian'an...... On the first day of the attack on the Imperial Tomb, he was seriously wounded, with several arrows on his body and covered in blood. After that, he was carried away and never seen again. Whether it is dead or alive, no one knows.
"The imperial court has sent troops again!"
Fang Ge Lao put his ear on the door panel, trying to listen to the movement outside, a trace of hope flashed in his eyes, but his voice gradually deepened: "I hope that this time, I can successfully eradicate the traitor!" ”
Zhao Ge sighed weakly: "They are worried about the emperor's safety, how dare they send troops with all their might!" These traitors were also really ruthless, several generals were killed, and three civilian officials were killed. As soon as the imperial court sends troops tonight, there will be people in different places again. ”
Elder Yan Ge was also sad, and muttered in a low voice: "Perhaps, it will be your turn and me soon." ”
Fang Ge Lao Zhao Ge Lao glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
It's just that they have been officials for many years, and they are all old and important ministers. No matter how frightened you are, you have to look calm on your face. comforted each other, "being killed here is also considered to be loyal to the Great Qi", and they scolded angrily in their hearts.
None of these vassal kings are honest and peaceful. This monstrous disaster was caused by the throne. They have all become fish in the pond that have been suffered.
It's just that they don't dare to say such things and can't say them.
……
In the secret room in the imperial mausoleum, the candles are bright, as bright as day.
The kings of Lu, Min and Ningxia each had their faces sinking like water, and their eyes burned with unwilling and angry fire.
The chamber is underground and blocks out many sounds. However, at this time, there was a large-scale and tragic battle going on outside. A terrible scream passed through the dense ground and into the chamber.
The first to speak out was King Lu: "Now, what should I do?" ”
These days, for King Lu, are also frying and roasting. At this time, King Lu's face was gloomy, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant.
King Min clenched his fist with his right hand and hit the table hard, making a muffled sound: "It must be the seventh child who is back!" ”
Who would have the guts to attack the Imperial Tomb without regard for leading the troops like this?
Only Sheng Hong, the king of Shu.
The more King Min thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and said angrily in a low voice: "We have been planning for so long, we have joined forces to attack, and we have worked hard to get to where we are today. This Sheng Hong is very cunning and insidious, and he can't wait to do it as soon as he returns to Beijing. This is to catch our brothers! ”
The king of Ningxia said coldly: "What's the use of talking this nonsense now. As I said the other day, it's too hasty to do it now. It's you who insist on getting started! ”
