"It's past midnight. In the main hall, Shiloh looked at the emperor, and the emperor also looked at Shiloh steadily.
"Oh?"
Shiloh sighed softly: "I remember when I was a child, every New Year's Day, what I looked forward to most was the fireworks at midnight of the New Year...... Brother, I remember when I was six years old, you used to secretly pick me up and lift me above my head and let me ride on your neck to watch the fireworks. I remember when my father scolded you......"
The emperor squinted his eyes, looked at Shiloh, and said lightly: "Yes, I still remember that your favorite thing at that time was the New Year's fireworks, and once, you once secretly ran into the treasury of the inner court, and almost ignited the stored cloth, causing a fire." Father was so angry that he grounded you for half a month. ”
"Hmm......" Shiloh also narrowed his eyes and whispered, "I still remember...... In that half a month, after you finished class every day, you would take a detour to my courtyard gate and tell me a story through the wall, and you told me what interesting allusions the teacher said in the class that day, you told me that you were going to learn to ride a horse and archery, and you told me that the vines in the palace were bearing fruit...... Brother, you say, how good it would be if people could not grow up for the rest of their lives?"
This pair of brothers just talked about the past and their brotherhood so softly, but they completely ignored the fact that outside this hall, there were more and more terrible fights and screams!
The screaming sound was getting closer and closer, and outside the main hall, more and more Thor's whips were pressed back!
A sound of "rebellion", more and more agitation!
In the main hall, many nobles on the emperor's side were excited and excited, and some people hiding in the corners quietly and subconsciously walked to the middle......
Only Shiloh, whose expression remained the same, was still standing at the bottom of the steps!
Even the swords of the Goths and the others were only a few steps away from him, but he turned a blind eye to them, and just looked at the emperor with a calm face.
"Brother, which family is your ambush soldier? Well, let me think about it...... No, our little aunt doesn't know anything else, but Mingzhe's ability to protect herself has learned the tradition of the Tulip family to the fullest, and she knows that the emperor has something big, so she has already fled to the northwest. As for the other families...... Ah, I figured it out! It must be the Liszt family, right?"
The emperor also smiled faintly: "Your reaction is not slow after all." ”
"It's not too hard to guess. Shiloh shook his head: "In the empire, there is this strength to bet, but I have not been co-opted by me, just talk about a few people." The Liszt family has money and people, but it is just a political status. The old gentleman was an old fox again, and he had tried me in the past. Unfortunately, I didn't dare to express the slightest meaning at the time. Otherwise, if I had married Rodelle back then, I am afraid that you would have already attacked me, brother!"
“...... Not bad. The emperor smiled faintly: "Although this is hard to hear, but ...... I admit that what you say is true. A prince who has connections and connections, if you add the financial and human resources of the Liszt family, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep. ”
"After the old gentleman of the Liszt family was rejected by me, he turned around, but finally fell into your arms. ”
"The old gentleman was smart. The emperor said lightly: "No matter which side bets, there is no insurance from me." As for you...... Even I didn't expect you to be emboldened enough to openly incite Thor's whip to rebel. ”
Shiloh groaned, then suddenly raised a few fingers and calculated carefully: "Six hundred storm troops, two thousand Liszt's private army." My dear brother, even if you have these people...... Well, at most, plus the 'shadows' under the command of Minister Pitt, I guess there are about two hundred people. You can't muster 3,000 troops, brother...... There are still nearly 10,000 Thor's whips in my city! Even though the army's morale may be a little unstable after the temporary purge, as long as the soldiers see blood and can't turn back, they will follow me with all their hearts! Brother, with less than 3,000 troops, he has to fight against nearly 10,000 Thor's whips...... I guess you can't resist for more than three hours!"
The emperor smiled lightly: "Three hours...... My brother, you think too highly of these people. Don't forget, I've served in Thor's Whip too. No one knows better than I do the fighting power of this army! It would be a miracle that all these forces I have hidden, taken together, can hold you two hours. ”
As he spoke, he heard a loud horn sound from outside the main hall again!
The sound of this horn suddenly made the faces of countless people in the hall suddenly collapse!!
This horn sound is the charge of the cavalry team!!
Everyone knows that at this moment, in the imperial capital, there is no cavalry on the emperor's side!
And at this time, there is only ...... over there who can still assemble a large group of cavalry
Thor's Whip!!
After spending a night, dividing the team into various urban areas of the imperial capital, and then quietly carrying out internal purging, finally, the follow-up team of the rebels arrived at the palace!!
......
Yanke led the cavalry to trample through the gate of the palace, and the cavalry behind him, the saber in his hand, was still stained with the blood brought in Dongyuan!
From a distance, Yank saw that Thor's Whip colleagues were blocking the entrance and steps of the palace hall, and on both sides, there were two groups of people under the banner of the Storm Army and the Liszt family, who were rushing into the ranks of Thor's Whip in waves like a tide.
As an experienced mid-level officer, Yank was quick to make a judgment!
He put the breakthrough on the Stormtroopers!
Yank, who was born in the elite of the empire, could see at a glance that the biggest threat to his colleagues at this moment was not the private army of the Liszt family, which seemed to be more numerous, but the Storm Army, which was smaller in number!
It is precisely because it is also from the elite of the regular army that the Storm Army is good at group battles and queue tactics, and step by step the formation of the Thor's Whip rebels is getting more and more flat, unlike the private army of the Liszt family, which seems to be fierce in attack, but it has a bit of a separate flavor.
Yank roared, and the saber pointed, and he concentrated his cavalry and rushed towards the Stormwind Army!
The Stormwind Army's Suppressor Officer also quickly saw the Thor Whip Cavalry rushing towards his side!
In the square in front of this empty hall, facing the charge of a cavalry was undoubtedly fatal for the infantry, lacking heavy defensive equipment!
Before Thor's whip slaughtered the Royal Forest Army, it relied on the advantage of cavalry!
And at this time, I saw the difference between the Storm Army, which is an elite unit on the front line of the Empire, and a team like the Royal Forest Army, which has been criticized as a "good look"!
The officer who pressed the formation was obviously not a mediocre person, and instead of ordering the team to retreat, he suddenly gave the order for the whole team to raid!!
With a shout, the infantry team of the Storm Army, which was still in line and rigorously carried out the "central breakthrough" tactics, suddenly dispersed in a hurry, showing a team of skirmishers, and the whole line pressed on the rebels' queue, which was originally a team in the shape of an arrow, but immediately turned into a wave, and then it was so dense and had the "most intimate contact" with the forefront of the rebels' team.
For a moment, the rebels were almost pressed back again, and at the same time, the team became seemingly chaotic......
In this way, Yanke, who had already ridden his horse and almost rushed to a distance of less than a hundred meters, was embarrassed!
He had to make a hurried whistle, and then led his cavalry to a rapid disguise, almost grazing less than twenty meters behind the line, and slashing from the side to bypass!
Although the Storm Army was in front of him, Yank did not dare to really rush forward! At this time, it had already entered a situation of skirmishing, if the cavalry rushed up from behind......
It is inevitable to break away from the ranks of the Storm Army, but at the same time, it will also break up the ranks of his own Thor's Whip!
You must know that once the cavalry rushes away, it will be difficult to contain it.
Yankel just watched his cavalry make a roundabout circle along the square, and then, without hesitation, he immediately led the people to turn the horse's head, this time aiming at the private army of the Liszt family!
But just as Yank turned around and rushed to the back row of the Liszt family's team, the hundreds of Storm troops suddenly retreated collectively under the orders of the officers!
After all, they are the elite of the front line of the empire, and after receiving the order, they retreated very simply! After bringing in contact with the rebels, under the leadership of the officers of the Storm Army, they actually turned around and ran towards Yank's cavalry team!!
This annoyed Yankel!
In this way, he has become a sandwich biscuit!
In front of him was the private army of the Liszt family, but behind him there were hundreds of storm troops!
If he rushed up and rushed into the private army of the Liszt family, then the momentum of the cavalry charge would definitely be stopped and stagnant in a short time, and the hundreds of storm troops behind him would gather and stab themselves in the back of their buttocks!
......
The battle in the square outside the main hall became more and more intense.
In the main hall, the "game" between Shiloh and the emperor is still going on.
As if they were out of the way, the two parties ignored the roars of the battle that filled their ears.
Shiloh asked slowly, "Since you also know that you can't resist two hours, then ......"
"Shiloh...... You love fireworks the most, haven't you noticed that the fireworks haven't been lit at tonight's New Year's celebration?"
The Emperor sighed softly.
Shiloh's eyes froze!
Fireworks!!
"I was calculated by you once. The emperor said lightly: "The continuous assassinations have made me suspicious of the city guards, especially the affairs of the church, which makes me even more uneasy, the city guards have been in the imperial capital for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will be infiltrated by all forces." I had to transfer Thor's whip back to Beijing, giving you a chance to take advantage of it. But the younger brother ...... As the emperor, how could he not have some emergency means for the city guards? The city guards only asked me to be transferred out of the city, but the royal family naturally had the means to transfer the city guards to the king urgently under special circumstances in times of emergency. This...... If you become an emperor, you will know. ”
"......" Shiloh looked at his brother and didn't speak.
"Three hours, no, two hours. The emperor said lightly: "It only takes one hour to be enough! My three thousand people in the palace only need to block you for an hour! When the fireworks are raised, the city guards outside the city will receive this emergency signal! You probably don't know that there is a special kind of fireworks in the palace, which are set off in an emergency, and the light of the fireworks can be seen at night and dozens of miles away. There are hidden royal people in the city guards, and once they see this kind of fireworks, they will bring troops to King Qin regardless of a single thing! This kind of royal means, even if Panin's father is a general of the city guards, can't stop it! At such times, if he dares to stop the officers and soldiers who see this urgent fireworks, King Qin, he will immediately be hacked to death by the soldiers mutinied! This kind of royal control of the city guards for more than 100 years, brother, you naturally don't know!"
The Emperor took another step forward!
His voice is as sharp as a knife!
"And ...... Not just the Guards of the Royal City, but also the Academy of Magic! Yes, I fell for you and transferred Dean Carmen away...... If Dean Carmen had been here tonight, she would have come to the feast, and in her capacity, she would have brought a group of magicians with her. But even so, it doesn't matter. On the side of the emergency fireworks, the Academy of Magic will be able to see it! Several branch deans are all high-level leaders of the Academy of Magic, and they know this royal secret! Once they see this fireworks, then a large number of magicians in the Academy will come to the rescue! No matter what the situation, at any time, any magician in the Academy, as long as he sees this fireworks, must gather all the people who can be gathered and rush to the imperial capital King Qin as quickly as possible!
My dear brother, this is the emergency protocol set by Lord Du Wei, Duke of Tulip, and the Lord Regent when the Royal Academy of Magic was established by himself!
Of course, this secret can only be known to the emperors themselves, but you, my brother, you don't know. ”
As the Emperor's tone became more and more cold.
Right now......
Rumble!!!
Bang!!!
Outside the main hall, above the night sky, I suddenly saw several meteors rushing up and bursting out in the sky!
This brilliant firework erupts in the night sky, and it is incomparably gorgeous!!
The dense fireworks were set off into the air, and the entire imperial capital could be seen clearly!
Outside the palace hall, the rebels and the Qin Wang army, who had been inseparable, also seemed to be shocked, and the team subconsciously began to retreat and separate.
Yank's cavalry had lost the advantage of charging, and most of the cavalry had dismounted and fought on foot. Otherwise, the cavalry, who stopped in place and could not run and rush, would be stabbed in the soft underbelly by the infantry.
And the respite of King Qin's army did not last long, and soon, outside the gate of the palace, two more groups of infantry under the banner of Thor's whip drove in, and there were thousands of people in both groups.
This time, the situation outside the main hall was reversed again......
The army of King Qin began to assemble purposefully, and the officers of the Storm Army took the initiative to line up with Liszt's private army, and the two sides were intensively combined, ready to meet a new bloody battle at any time......
By this time, it is clear to both sides: there is no way back for everyone!!
......
"Sure enough......"
Shiloh sighed softly, his expression even a little blank.
He looked outside the hall, standing in his position, he could vaguely see a small piece of the sky outside the hall, and he could vaguely see the brilliant fireworks reflected in the night sky!
"To be an emperor...... Sure enough, there are a lot of hole cards......"
Shiloh smiled softly, and his laughter was full of mockery and ridicule: "So, my brother, you have been so calm, so calm, and so dismissive from the beginning to the present? You are destined to have a lot of hole cards in your hand! You know that you have the Storm Army, and you have the private army of the Liszt family." You have 20,000 King's City Guards outside the city, and hundreds of magicians from an entire magic academy! As soon as you see this firework, they will rush to the aid of the stars! Hmph...... Not to mention the 20,000 royal city guards, just a few hundred magicians in the magic academy, it is definitely not something that my thousands of soldiers and horses can stop......!
As he spoke, Shiloh looked at the emperor and suddenly burst out laughing.
“...... You...... What are you laughing at?"
I laughed...... Although I am not the emperor, I don't know so many 'royal top secrets', and I don't have so many hole cards brought by you, the emperor's identity advantage...... But, thankfully, I got it all!!"
“...... What?" The Emperor looked into Shiloh's eyes, and finally his face changed!!
"Fortunately, I know one thing, one thing that every royal family knows! And I am even more white! My advantage tonight is in the possession of troops in the city! If I want to win, my only way is to keep my advantage! If I want to keep my advantage, my only choice is to ......" (to be continued)
