Chapter 19: The Rebels Attack the Imperial City

She stroked her chest and sighed, and the biggest stone that had been in suspense for a long time finally landed.

The night breeze was cool, and it was already the second half of the night.

Ling Chao said with a smile: "General Zhenguo should rush back before issuing the secret edict, and kill Mu Feng by surprise!" According to the distance, it should be there in less than three days."

Leng Yue smiled in a trance, "You forgot the rainstorm a few days ago...... It will inevitably hinder the march, and it may not be possible to reach it in three days. ”

Ling Chao was silent, and then nodded and said, "Even if it is less than three days, it should be okay for them to hold on for a few more days." ”

She nodded, staring sideways at the rebel camp in the distance, not knowing where Mu Feng was hiding or if he was also staring at the palace gate.

There was a chill in my heart, mixed with a faint pain.

"It seems that there will be no more movement from the rebels tonight, so don't worry about the concubine, let's go back to the apse to rest first."

Ling Chao lowered her eyes, her expression was faint, but she still couldn't bear to see the passing under her eyes.

"It's okay," Leng Yue nodded and smiled, and turned away.

Along the way, the soldiers holding the halberd guards bowed their heads one after another, respectfully and solemnly - in their eyes, Leng Yue was probably a terrible woman, and perhaps secretly regarded her as a poor woman.

Back in the apse, I closed my eyes and took a nap, the night outside the curtain was dark, and it was nearly four watches.

Shortly before dawn, it was the coldest and darkest time of the night. Wrapped in a brocade quilt, I still feel the slightest coolness, and after staying up for most of the night, fatigue finally hits.

There was a loud bang in the dream, as if the ground shook and the house shook.

She woke up in shock, turned over and sat up, and there was already fire outside the curtain, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The rebels are attacking!

She put on her robe and immediately ran out of the door, and the fire had been red for a long time.

"Concubine Niang, be careful!" The bodyguards caught up.

"When did the siege begin?" As soon as her words fell, there was another earth-shattering loud bang, and the ground trembled beneath her feet.

She stopped, pressed her throbbing chest, and the firelight of the night sky seemed to be about to burn, pressing down on her.

"Just moments ago, the rebels began storming the palace gates." The guard stood behind her, his voice firm and calm.

The fire at the head of the city was fierce, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the arrows and stones broke through the air like a shower.

She rushed all the way, and when she climbed the gate, she was already sweating and wearing heavy clothes, and at a glance, her heart was fixed.

Taking advantage of the change of defense of the forbidden army, the rebels covered and killed the Cheng'en Gate, which was the weakest defense, and slammed the palace gate with a giant tree surrounded by four people.

Once Mu Feng knocked open the palace gate, he could go straight to the west side of the palace forbidden.

Fortunately, Ling Chao had already deployed more than 800 people from the most elite iron crossbow battalion at this gate in advance. The crossbows were fired in unison, and the arrows were like rain, pouring down, covering the palace gate in an impenetrable rain of arrows. Although the rebels were brave, they could not stop this dense crossbow, and they retreated a hundred paces away in a hurry. However, the rain of arrows slowed down a little, and the rebels rushed to attack again, opening the way with huge shields, and a steady stream of them poured in.

Under the cover of a thick shield, the siege giant tree gathered its full momentum again and again, and slammed into the palace gate.

Ling Chao took the lead, stood at the head of the city, and commanded the iron crossbow battalion to counterattack.

Fierce fighting continued until dawn.

The Iron Crossbow Battalion gradually gained the upper hand, and the rebel soldiers who attacked with giant trees were shot one after another, and most of them were shot before they reached the city gate, and the momentum of the rebel attack slowed down.

The last frantic assault finally stopped at dawn.

The first round of night attacks by the rebels was temporarily unsuccessful.

"Two days to go!" Ling Chao had red eyes, his sword was not sheathed, he strode over, and shouted to the soldiers: "The morale of the rebels has been demoralized, hold on for two more days, and General Fang's army will arrive!"

The dead and the seriously wounded were carried down, the lightly wounded were bandaged on the spot, and the soldiers who had changed their guard and rested lay down on the spot, sleepy.

Once the trumpet blows, they will stand up bravely and fight to the death against the rebels!

Looking at their blood-stained armor and tired faces in their sleep, Leng Yue could only secretly clench her fists.

These young soldiers, even the rebel soldiers who were shot outside the palace gate, should have been heroes who defended their homes and the country, and their blood should be sprinkled on the yellow sand of the border area, not buried at the feet of the Son of Heaven in vain.

She walked past the groups of resting soldiers, pausing and leaning over to examine their injuries.

The rolling wounds, the scarlet blood, the real death and pain are just around the corner.

How long will this kind of killing last?

When will it be the end!

At this moment, she missed Fang Qingzhuo strongly, longing for him to appear in front of her eyes immediately and put an end to this cruel everything!

The morning light is bright, and after a night of rain, the sky and the earth are like washing.

The rebel array was distinct, like a black iron tide, and there was a faint cold light flickering in the morning light, and after a night of fierce fighting, there was still no confusion. At this moment, both sides took advantage of the short morning rest to recuperate and prepare for another battle.

I don't know how long this moment of tranquility will last.

Ling Chao insisted on ordering the guards to send her back to Huiyue Palace to rest.

There was a fierce battle last night, and although the palace announced a curfew, closed all halls, and strictly forbade going out, it still couldn't hide the fierceness of the battle.

The palace people I saw along the road were all panicked, as if a catastrophe was coming. Since the Longwei Rebellion, there has never been a great rebellion against the public storming of Miyagi. Rao is like this, and the palace people everywhere can still advance and retreat in an orderly manner, and there is no chaos. The head of the inner court, Gonggong Ruan, is a confidant of the old palace who has followed the emperor for many years, and he usually seems to be mediocre, but when he is in danger, he shows tough measures and steadily suppresses the palace ban.

Father-in-law Ruan rushed to Huiyue Palace to see her, dressed meticulously, and looked calm as usual.

"Although something happened very well yesterday, the palace can still be orderly and perform their duties, you have done a good job." She smiled slightly, stood up and asked lightly, "Is there any disturbance to the Holy Driver of the Two Palaces?" ”

Gonggong Ruan lowered his head and said, "The emperor has been concentrating on writing books recently, and he has not been surprised. It's just that the Empress Dowager was frightened and her condition was unstable, and now she has been put on medicine and should be fine. ”

Leng Yue lowered her eyes quietly, but she didn't know whether she was sad or happy, happy or regretful.

She smiled gloomily, picked up the teacup and tasted it, and frowned at the palace maid standing beside her, "The tea is cold." ”

Suddenly, a sharp sound of dysprosium pierced the air.

At this time, the east is getting whiter, the sky has brightened, and it is the early morning scene.

She ran to the middle of the palace road, looked up in a daze, looked at the sky in the distance, and her heart jumped sharply.

This Ming Di came too suddenly, as if it pierced the heart, could it be-

"Concubine Niangniang be careful, there is a battle going on in the city!" The maid caught up, and she didn't care about humility, so she stopped her in a hurry.

"It's him, it's him." As soon as the words blurted out, Leng Yue couldn't restrain herself anymore, even if she bit her lip fiercely, she still couldn't stop the trembling of her shoulders.

The maid held her in a panic, and with a flick of her sleeves, she pushed her away, and hurried towards the city.

The city was a tragic scene.

However, the rebel army array under the city was shrinking backwards, and in the distant rear, as if there was some commotion, there was a muffled noise, whistling, and horns, and the sound of shaking the mountains seemed to come from the southeast, and the movement was getting louder and louder, and even she stood on top of the palace gate, and felt the rumbling sound of rolling thunder from the ground!
