Volume 1, Snow Plum Spring Chapter 16, Imperial City Death Battle
Death to the death in the Imperial City
The smoke of gunpowder drifted more than ten miles away, and before it left the inner city, many civil officials, under the leadership of the prime minister, were standing in front of the palace gate ten miles away and watching.
"Prime Minister, what's going on over there? Seeing such smoke and dust, it doesn't look like a scene that can be created by the selection of generals. These civil officials didn't know anything about the news, only the prime minister put one hand in his arms, rubbing the jade.
The sergeant was not sent to investigate the situation, and just waited quietly for the results.
At this time, Luo Shanhe rode a high-headed horse galloping in the courtyard of the deep palace, following the direction of the guard camp in his memory, advancing as fast as possible.
I have other things in my heart, and according to the development of the situation, I am afraid that those civilian officials over there will not be able to get out of it, and the mastermind will never be the secretary of the military department inside.
Bringing the dead into the cage, this Shangshu didn't plan to come out alive, if the old emperor died, who would benefit the most?
Are they the ladies in the harem, or is it because the eunuchs interfere in politics, or is it because the sect wants to meddle in the internal affairs of the court?
You must know that so many dead soldiers can be kept in captivity in the imperial city, there must be enough space, and the target is to lock on to the first-grade officials who are still in the imperial capital in the court.
The old emperor must not die, the master once told himself that Liang Guoguo's luck is not exhausted, if he dies, there will be disaster in the lonely mountain.
How did this speculation come about, Luo Shanhe didn't understand, but this was what the master said, although his old man was a little flamboyant on weekdays, he never deceived himself in the general direction.
Time is of the essence at the moment, and every second every night, the odds of an accident over there are much higher.
When running in front of the Guards camp, the black horse was squeezed by the reins, and its front hooves jumped high and neighed.
"Who's coming!No trespasses in the guard camp!" A guard stood outside the door with a spear.
Luo Shanhe took out the talisman from his bosom and raised it high, and shouted on horseback: "The guards battalion belongs to listen to the order! Point the rebels of Jiangtai to besiege the emperor! Quickly follow me to rescue the driver!"
Seeing that the young man on the dark horse had taken out a talisman, the guard did not dare to slack off and immediately conveyed the order, and soon a general rode his horse to the door.
"What's your name?" asked Luo Shanhe hurriedly.
"The surname Ma is a single word leap, but you shouted for help just now?" The other party was not very old, and after taking the talisman and looking at it carefully, he was shocked.
"Belong to the Guards, come with me!"
With a white helmet, white robe and white armor, the young general left with a team of five hundred horses without thinking, and then Luo Shanhe pressed the infantry team to follow.
This young general is so vigorous, Liang Guo can have such a young general, and his life should not be extinguished.
When the Luoshan River came back, he bumped into the escaped general's team head-on.
"Is the emperor okay?" Luo Shanhe still didn't get off the horse, and this back and forth made him physically exhausted too much.
The general was disgraced, and finally rushed out, and the killed ones lost their armor and lost face.
Meng Changge covered with a sword, and was leading the knights of the rivers and lakes to resist a little.
Where are they opponents of the regular army, fortunately, they can hold the hole in the fence and be able to delay for a few minutes.
"Aiqing! Aiqing has a meritorious escort! I will reward you heavily when I return to the court!" The old emperor was frightened by the sight, and his face was a little too ruddy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's not time to go back to the palace now, it's best to go to a safe place outside first. ”
If the main owner is not the secretary of the Ministry of War, then returning to the palace now means that the sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth and thrown himself into the net.
immediately gave the general a look, and arranged for the army behind him to escort everyone out of the imperial city and into the general's mansion.
Drawing his sword, Luo Shanhe rushed into the open passage first.
At this time, even if he doesn't know martial arts, he has to take the lead in rushing into battle, and when the scene is really displayed in front of him, Luo Shanhe is physically and mentally shocked.
Surrounded by guards infantry with shields raised, blocking the flying arrows, Luoshanhe rode a black horse like a bright star in the night sky, and soon became the first target of archers.
"Grandma's!" scolded in his mouth, took the stainless steel shield from the infantry beside him, and before he could hold it steady, several arrows shot over, and Luo Shanhe raised his shield to meet him.
The unexpected impact spread all over his body along his arm, shaking Luoshan River off the horse, and the black horse was frightened and raised his hooves to step on him.
"Even if you raise the shield, I will be seriously injured if I step on this horse!" The stainless steel shield pressed on his body, and the weight of thirty or forty catties made it difficult for him to turn over.
The original life-saving signboard has become a life-threatening constraint, Luo Shanhe couldn't help laughing at himself.
A spear suddenly poked into the black horse's neck, straightened down the black horse, and immediately provoked the steel shield.
The white-robed young general swung his horse and returned to the battlefield, just saw the black horse falling, and the horse galloped over, which saved Luoshanhe's life.
With the addition of a large number of Guards, the situation was quickly brought under control, and the rebels without support were quickly and completely wiped out at the point of the general, and no deserters were spared.
As dead soldiers, running away is something they would never do.
The head of the military department stood on top of the mountain of corpses with his long hair disheveled and bloodshot eyes.
Staring at Luoshan River, who was cautiously swimming in the battlefield, it was this scholar who wanted to dance and play with the sword, which led to the failure of this operation.
With a long sigh, he clenched the sword in his hand and stabbed it hard into the abdomen.
"Hurry up and save it!" Luo Shanhe threw away his weapon, climbed the corpse mountain with a roll, helped Shangshu's body up, took out the jade bottle from his arms, poured out a few drops of clear liquid, and moistened his mouth.
He will definitely be able to save his life! As long as the military department is not dead, it will pose a great threat to the existence of the mastermind behind him.
"Why do people keep coming in such a difficult place?" Looking around at the nearly 10,000 corpses around here, the flames crackled and burned, and the point commander could no longer see what it was.
The palace only sent scouts to investigate the situation at this time, and if the emperor was killed, I am afraid that he would have entered the palace and wiped out these civil officials.
The smell of gunpowder smoke was very pungent, Luo Shanhe shook his arms tiredly, and led people to carry the dying military department Shangshu to the general's mansion.
As soon as he walked out of Dianjiangtai and on the way out of the imperial city, the prime minister hurried over with all the civil officials, just blocking the way.
"The old minister is late for rescue, please ......forgive me" bent down and stayed in mid-air, and the prime minister realized that the other party was not the emperor's team.
"Is that the secretary of the military department?" he saw the stretcher behind the other party, and a thin old man was lying.
"Flash away, Lao Shangshu is in danger and needs urgent treatment. "Luo Shanhe doesn't want to talk nonsense here, there is likely to be a mastermind among them.
The guards opened the way with their swords, and without the choice of these civil officials, they rushed out of the way.
"The Imperial Doctor's Pavilion is over there, you're going the other way!" shouted the prime minister from behind.
Luo Shanhe didn't pay attention to it, he hurried away, he didn't see the prime minister behind him with a gloomy face, and called the official next to him to bow his head and whisper, the official nodded and hurriedly ran towards another place.
"Yo, how come I've never seen your face in the palace?
If you want to get out of the imperial city, you have to go to Zhengyang Gate, and at the pass, you are blocked by a Luanfeng carriage, which pulls the bead curtain, revealing a young and beautiful delicate face.
"Presumably it is Shu Niangniang who has the beauty of the moon and the shy flowers?" Luo Shanhe felt a big headache, this Shu Niangniang was twenty years old, and she was the closest concubine to the old emperor, and she faintly had the posture of overshadowing the main palace.
Being praised like this, Shu Niangniang's face softened, she had just been out playing and saw the smoke billowing from the imperial city, so she rushed back to investigate the situation.
I saw that the military department Shangshu was carried out, and Luo Shanhe gave a deep salute, and then quickly left with the team again, and that direction was the General's Mansion.
"Come and prepare a horse, follow me to find my father!" Shu Niangniang's father is the secretary of the Criminal Department, and through this relationship, she has not interfered in political affairs in the harem.
At this time, the General's Mansion had entered a state of full martial law, and the heralds came and went, and the dictates from the old emperor kept coming down.
The princes had already returned to their territory halfway through and organized an army to come to their aid.
"Someone, come quickly, send the imperial doctor!The book of the military department has been brought over by me!" Luo Shanhe rushed to the inner courtyard, only to see the old emperor sitting on the Taishi chair, his breathing was a little short, and it seemed that the so-called toxicity was deeper.
