Li Hao raised his hand hesitantly, signaling the lieutenant to be calm.
"Wait a little longer! Soldiers, the way is dangerous. A little negligence may cause irreparable losses. Let's just wait quietly."
The lieutenant wanted to say something, but Li Hao's cold eyes made him dare not say any more.
Less than half an hour later, suddenly the north gate of the palace was lit up, and the flames soared into the sky, shining like daylight. When I listened carefully, I could hear the sound of scratching.
"Set it on fire, set it on fire!" The lieutenant shouted beside Li Hao.
The blood in Li Hao's body immediately flowed rapidly, his eyes sparkled: "Yes, I heard that."
Li Hao and his lieutenant strode out of the camp, not only saw the fire behind the north gate, but also saw people running and shouting on the tower.
"Fire! Fire!"
"Run for your life!"
There was chaos on the tower.
The corner of Li Hao's mouth curled up triumphantly: "This is the moment I've been waiting for!" It seemed that these words were not for the lieutenant next to him, but for Concubine Xue Gui in the palace.
"What should we do now?" The deputy general's blood was also ignited by the fire on the tower.
Li Hao held a short spear in his left hand, and drew out a big knife in his right hand. His tight face was full of murderous intent: "What else can I do, attack the city!"
Li Hao and his deputy rushed to the north gate with more than 10,000 rebels and knocked on the north gate with huge wooden stakes. The north gate was easily opened with a creaking sound.
Li Hao rode his horse and laughed loudly: "Haha, the whole palace will be mine!" Turning around, he ordered the rebels, "Everyone rush into the palace, and anyone who catches the king will be rewarded with ten thousand households!"
As soon as they heard that ten thousand households could be rewarded, the rebels scrambled to rush into the north gate. After entering, there was not much resistance, but all the guards who fought were defeated in groups.
Li Hao was overjoyed, and the lieutenant beside him was even more excited: "General Li, the guards have lost their morale and are vulnerable. If we had known, we would have attacked the city first!"
Li Hao took the lead and went to the inner courtyard of the palace. There were neither the citizens who had just fled in nor the shadow of the guards. How is this going? Did they all escape
Suspicious, Li Hao said, "Scatter and search everywhere, no matter what, you must find Concubine Xue and the king!"
The deputy general made a suggestion: "General Li, do you want to attract troops from outside?"
Li Hao thought for a while, and was about to say "yes", when he saw a soldier running over quickly.
"Report to General Li, no... it's not good!"
Li Hao frowned like a pair of scissors: "What happened?"
The soldier gasped for breath, unable to speak a word.
Li Hao lifted him up from the ground: "Quickly tell me, what's wrong?"
The fear made the soldier articulate: "The north gate of the palace is closed, we... We are trapped in the palace!"
Li Hao almost fell off his horse.
"Who closed the door?"
The soldier said: "It's the guards! It's Xue... Concubine Xue!" He said the words "Concubine Xue" very softly, as if it was a spell and he dared not say it easily.
Plop!
Li Hao let go, and the soldier fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
He counted and counted, but he still couldn't count on Concubine Xue Gui. Could it be that God taught her to deal with him specially
Li Hao turned his horse's head around, swung the sword, and a cold light quickly slashed across the blade: "Brothers, follow me to the north gate, burn the gate, and welcome the prince into the palace to enthroned!"
Everyone knew that this was just Li Hao's wishful thinking. Being locked up in the palace, getting out is simply as difficult as going to heaven!
Li Hao came in with more than 10,000 rebels, but when he reached the north gate, there were less than 5,000 people. Li Hao was even more angry when he saw it.
The north gate was full of flames, and ten rows of guards stood in front of the north gate. The first five are archers, the last two are spearmen, the last one is swordsmen, the next one is shields, and the last one is cavalry. Among the cavalry, there was a man with bright armor and a face like a bright moon, shining brightly.
is her! The enemy he wanted to kill day and night!
"Concubine Xue, today is the time for you and me to fight to the death!"
Rong Changan sneered coldly: "What qualifications do you have to fight to the death with me now? Let's go past the lines of defense in front of me first, and then talk about the decisive battle."
Li Hao looked up to the sky and sighed, there was a teardrop hanging from the corner of his eye. He hates it, not only because of his "unfulfilled ambition", but also because he was still defeated by a woman! Shameful!
Seeing the posture in front of them, how could those rebels escape, they disbanded one after another, and fled to every corner of the palace.
When Li Hao looked back, more than three thousand people were gone.
Li Hao's face couldn't be seen much, but two of his teeth had been crushed, and he was clenched into a fist, rattling.
"How did you know I was coming in?"
Rong Changan stretched out his jade hand, and a man riding a red horse came out from behind her, who was the leader of the spies.
"He told me, I'm not a prophet."
"Traitor!" Li Hao spat out saliva, he couldn't bear to swallow the spy leader in one gulp.
Rong Changan said: "It should be the rebels behind you who say the traitors, not the general beside me. He can rein in the precipice and return to justice. He is a role model for all of you. I, Xue'er, are now passing on the king's will, and now put down If the weapon in your hand is surrendered to the king, the king can let the past go. If you are still stubborn and continue to work for the prince and the princess, you will only have a dead end. Whether you live or die, you make your own choice!"
As soon as Rong Chang'an's words fell, more than a thousand rebels disbanded and fled.
"Concubine Xue, today I want your life!"
Li Hao shouted, brandishing a short spear in his left hand and a broadsword in his right, they rushed towards Rong Chang'an.
"Fire the arrows!" The guards shouted together.
Countless arrows shot over, and countless rebels fell to the ground.
Li Hao swung the short spear and the broadsword like a shield, blocking all the flying arrows, and with a tinkling sound, the arrows fell off to the ground.
The spearman of the Guards thrust out his spear, Li Hao swung his knife and slashed, the end of the spear was cut off. Li Hao's horse jumped up and landed towards Rong Chang'an.
It was not only a short spear that stabbed Rong Changan, but also a long knife.
"Concubine Xue, be careful!" a guard shouted loudly.
The light reflected by the long knife landed on Rong Chang'an's calm face. With a flick of Rong Chang'an's wrist, the soft sword flew out like a snake, entangled Li Hao's foot in the blink of an eye. Rong Changan yanked it violently, and Li Hao fell to the ground with a thud, the short spear fell aside, and the long knife was still in his hand.
"Get it for me!"
Following Rong Chang'an's order, many guards came to stab Li Hao with spears in order to subdue him. Li Hao stood up like a carp, jumped up, grabbed a cavalry's horse, ran to the north gate, slashed with a knife, and with a click, the gate of the north gate was cut off, Li Hao's dark eyes revealed light, Drilled out from the crack of the door, and kept patting the horse's back with the back of the knife.
"drive!"
The horse's hooves kicked up the dust and rolled it, and even if the arrows were shot, they would miss.
