Yun Shang suddenly understood.
The avalanche in Qishan affected many people. Many people lost their families in this avalanche.
If this avalanche is just a natural disaster, they can only resent the injustice of heaven. But if this incident was a man-made disaster, how could they swallow this breath
Yun Shang cupped her hands towards Luo Qingyan: "Your Majesty is brilliant."
Luo smiled lightly, and asked someone to bring two horses.
Yun Chang got on the horse, turned to look at Luo and said lightly: "The first poison, has His Majesty sent someone to put it down?"
"Down." Luo Qingyan nodded, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Fortunately, the empress has cultivated so many hidden stakes in the city before, and at the same time planted a lot of people in the palace. All the poisons I have counted all of them according to the Queen's order."
Yun Chang responded, that's good.
Luo Qingyan also got on the horse following Yunshang, and with a wave of his hand, the army set out and marched neatly towards Jincheng.
When Luo Qingyan and Yunshang arrived outside the city, it was not yet midnight.
There was still a mile away from the city gate, and there was a faint movement in the city.
It was time for the curfew, so it was self-evident where the noise came from.
Yun Chang raised her eyes to look at the city dormant in the night, her lips pursed into a straight line.
The army was approaching Jincheng step by step. At this moment, two fireworks suddenly rose in the city, and the fireworks exploded above Jincheng, making two loud noises.
"The second signal came. Xia Houjing has led people outside the palace and is attacking the palace."
Yun Shang turned to look at Luo and said lightly: "How about the guards in the palace?"
"The guards in the palace are the same as usual." Luo replied softly, "Since we want to create the illusion that we are still in the palace, we cannot remove the guards. The emperor sits in the Tai Chi Hall and directs this defensive battle."
Yun Shang nodded thoughtfully.
The team advanced a certain distance and stopped a few hundred meters away from the city gate.
The sound of close combat came from behind the city gate, Yun Chang squinted her eyes, and heard Luo Qingyan lower her voice and say: "Xia Houjing wants to completely take the initiative of Jincheng, so he will naturally find a way to control the guards at the city gate. "
Luo Qingyan raised his hand, and four or five hidden guards jumped up to the city gate using lightness kung fu, and set off signal fireworks on the city gate.
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!"
Behind the city gate came the loud shouts of the city guards, and then the city gate was opened.
Luo Qingyan raised his hand, lifted Yunshang's cloak and hat to cover her face, then took out two masks, and put them on one by one.
Yun Shang laughed: "Your Majesty is very well prepared."
"That's natural." Luo Qingyan nodded and waved his hand lightly, and the elite soldiers behind him rushed out on horseback and rushed straight into the city gate.
"Xia Houjing should have figured out that we still have some reinforcements, but he just felt that the number of our reinforcements must not be too many. Someone will hide in the dark and check to see how many people we have, and then report the news to Xia Houjing."
"Our elite soldiers arrive first, and they will see only us. At that time, Xia Houjing will guess that our troops are trapped under Laiqi Mountain, and only some elite soldiers can be mobilized to come to the rescue."
"Everything seems to be in line with all his predictions, so he won't be suspicious."
Yunshang nodded, there was the sound of fighting at the gate of the city, there were more than a hundred people behind Yunshang and Luo Qingyan, they just stood in the distance, waiting for the news.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the battle was over.
"There are about 800 people who came to attack the city gate from the north gate, and all of them have been killed. All the people within a few hundred meters around the gate have also been cleaned up to ensure that no fish slipped through the net."
Luo Qingyan nodded, and then took Yunshang into the city.
After entering the city, the two brought people up to the tower.
Yun Chang stood on the city gate and raised the torch: "The wind blows westward, let's go to the east gate."
Luo nodded lightly, and quickly went down the tower together with Yunshang, leaving more than two hundred people guarding the north gate, and all the others went to the east gate.
The East Gate appears to have been taken by rebels.
The dark guards set off signal fireworks outside the city, and there was no movement at the gate of the city.
The hidden guards who followed them came out in force, using lightness kung fu to cross the tower without a sound.
Bows and arrows shot out from the top of the city tower, but the hidden guards were highly skilled in martial arts, so they didn't pay attention to those arrows.
After a while, the number of arrows shot from the gate of the city became less and less, and after a while, the gate of the city was opened.
As soon as the city gate opened, the elite troops rushed in again.
After some fighting, the East City Gate was quickly occupied.
"Let's not move the west gate and south gate for the time being. Xia Houjing lost two gates, and will definitely try his best to keep the other two. We don't need to lose people for no reason."
Yun Chang nodded, went up to the tower, determined the direction of the wind, and asked someone to take out the poisoned straw that had been prepared during the day.
All the elite soldiers took all the medicine and covered their mouths and noses with cloth.
Yunshang asked all the elite soldiers to be separated by about one meter each, and spread out in the north and south directions, almost filling up the entire east wall, and everyone held torches made of poisoned straw in their hands.
When everyone was ready, Luo Qingyan asked someone to ignite the signal fireworks, and the straw was ignited. When the straw was soaked in the poison, it was wet, so it was not easy to ignite an open flame, but the smoke was huge.
Yun Chang stood on the city tower, watching the countless poisonous smoke rising up, blown by the wind, all of them were blown into the city.
It took some time to light the poisonous smoke. After everyone finished lighting the straws in their hands, a third signal firework went up in the city.
"The gate of the palace has been broken, Xia Houjing has entered the palace."
Yun Shang nodded: "In his whole life, he has exhausted all means to become the master of that palace and sit on that dragon chair. But he probably forgot that there are many people in that resplendent palace. burial ground."
"Since he likes the palace so much, then let him bury his bones in that palace too."
Luo Qingyan had a calm expression on his face, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger.
After a while, a secret guard came to report: "Your Majesty, the palace gate has been broken. Xia Houjing has brought someone into the palace..."
Luo nodded lightly: "How is the situation in the city?"
"Xia Houjing sent troops to attack the four city gates, and the southwest gates have already been taken. Each gate has thousands of people, and Xia Houjing did not know where to get some fortifications for the city, and they have all been arranged in the city. Those two city gates."
"The gates of the four palaces are already being arranged."
Luo nodded lightly, not surprised: "How many troops did Xia Houjing bring into the palace?"
"About five thousand people." The dark guard replied, "Cao's mansion, two or three other aristocratic families in the city, more than a dozen ministers from the court, followed Xia Houjing into the palace together."
