Before dawn on May 8, more than a dozen school lieutenants under the Habayashi Guard of the Hujie Camp led two battalions of soldiers to join the Ling family and opened the east gate. A fierce battle broke out with the remaining four battalions.
Although the army besieged the city outside, the Dragon Boat Festival was still lively in the palace, and the dragon boats in the lake hadn't been removed yet, swaying in the dawn wind to form golden phantoms.
The little palace lady carried her skirt and ran towards Fengyi Palace, only what the little eunuch said just now echoed in her mind, she went to tell the empress that the gate of the city was broken.
"Why run? There are no rules at all!" Before entering the main hall, the aunt in charge scolded in a low voice.
"Girl, it's a matter of urgency. I have something urgent to report to the empress." The little maid looked around and said in a low voice, "The city gate is broken!"
The face of the aunt in charge suddenly changed, she took the little maid and hurried to the inner hall, gestured with several eunuchs and maids waiting outside, opened the curtain of the inner hall, and whispered to the inside: "Your Majesty , Your Majesty, the city gate is broken!"
After calling several times, the maids serving in the inner hall stepped forward and shook Wang Huilan, Wang Huilan opened her eyes slightly, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"
"Mother, Xiao Shunzi wants my servant to bring you a message. The news just came from the court that the east gate has been broken." The little maid said in fear, and looked very puzzled at the fact that the palace maids and eunuchs were all Happy excited expression.
"Broken?" Wang Huilan got up happily, stretched out her hand to let the maid to dress herself, and said, "Fushun, go and see, where is General Zhao?"
General Zhao? The little palace maid raised her head in surprise, and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Shunzi said that it is the Ling family's rebel army, and the leader is He Li."
Wang Huilan was taken aback for a moment, then stood up in a panic, and said, "How is it possible! How could it be someone from the Ling family? If it wasn't for General Zhao, how could the Ling family break down the city?" The Ling family set up cannons outside, and now The city was broken without any movement, so someone must have opened the door as an internal response. If the Wang family and Zhao Yinfeng hadn't reached an agreement in the end, then who was it
"Your servant doesn't know, Xiao Shunzi only said that the east gate was broken by the traitors of the Ling family, and now it's a mess upwards, ma'am, let's..." Looking at the aunts and father-in-laws who had changed their faces, the little palace maid Asked with a white face: "What should I do?"
How to do? How to do? Wang Huilan held the hand of the maid next to her and looked blankly at the luxurious inner palace. Her fingers pinched tightly into the maid's flesh, and she was not surprised until the maid couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. She came back to her senses and asked He said: "Where is the emperor? Where is the emperor now?" There are still 200,000 troops in the city, and the Ling family will not come to the palace so soon. At this time, it is safest to follow the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" Chai Jinzhong was startled by the yelling outside the hall, raised his head and asked in a trembling voice, "How! Have you driven the traitor out?"
"Your Majesty," a school captain in armor stumbled outside the hall and shouted in a panic, "It's people from the Hujie Camp and the Habayashi Guard. They all voted for the rebels. We, we can't stop them!"
There was a sudden commotion above the main hall. Today is the morning court after the Dragon Boat Festival. After a three-day rest, all the officials standing above the main hall had their own thoughts. They were thinking about the morning court before going to court. how to speak. The Ling family has been besieging the city for nearly two months. The outside is lined with iron armor and the light of swords is cold. The rows of cannons and thunderbolts made them feel powerful when they attacked the city for the first time in March, not to mention those Brave and fearless soldiers, but after the siege in March, the Ling family stopped attacking and retreated two miles. At that time, they were very happy, thinking that it was the Ling family attacking the city. The city failed, so they retreated desperately, but then Luoyang was besieged and impenetrable. The material in the city became poorer and poorer, and the camps outside seemed to be expanding. Or... Surrender.
But as soon as the proposal came out, he was scolded by Chai Jinzhong. The members of the Wang family were silent. Someone rushed into the main hall to report that the east gate was broken, and the Ling family's army had entered the city.
Now that two of the Sixth Battalion of the Imperial Guards have rebelled, how could the remaining four battalions be the opponents of He Li's army of tigers and wolves
"Your Majesty, I remember that my old mother is sick, please excuse me." After the servant said this, various voices rang out.
"No one is allowed to leave!" Chai Jinzhong shouted loudly, and then said to the few guards around him: "Close the palace door for me, anyone who dares to leave will be killed on the spot!"
With a grin on his face, Chai Jinzhong said: "You eat the king's salary, and you usually talk so well, why, you want to run now? I can't run away, and you don't want to run away either! Wait here with me, I am really serious Ming Tianzi, I want to see who dares to kill the king!"
Along Bianhe Street, there are corpses and wounded all the way, there are red armors and silver armors, and more are black armors of the imperial guards. From the outside of the city gate, the ambulance team dressed in white poured in. The skilled three A group of people helped the wounded.
"Sister Qing, look at the person next to him, he doesn't seem to be dead." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl whispered to the leading woman.
The woman looked up at the black-armored soldier, and said, "Leave it alone, none of us can be saved."
The girl looked at the street, and the number of black armored soldiers on the ground was far more than that of red armor and silver armor, probably several times as many. Then she looked at the handsome soldier in black armor, and said: "Didn't it mean that our ambulance team should have compassion, so I'll help him bandage him."
The woman looked at the soldier, and said in a low voice: "Our people are more seriously injured, so save them first!"
The girl muttered, seeing that no one was paying attention to her while others were busy, she moved a few steps, pointed her finger at the black-armored soldier, and then took out medicine and bandages from the medical kit and bandaged him.
"Don't make a sound. The Ling family doesn't kill prisoners and those who surrender. When the containment soldiers come, you can save your life if you lose your weapon." Quickly bandaging him, the girl whispered.
The bluestone slab below him hummed, and the hooves of the horses sounded like thunder. On the ground, another captain in black armor jumped up from the ground, grabbed the girl, put the long sword around her neck, and shouted: " Brothers, catch these girls! The Rakshasa Army will not leave anyone alive!"
The red-armored soldier who was being bandaged by the woman pushed her away, grabbed the spear from the ground and stabbed a soldier who was rushing over, but fell to the ground because of the serious injury, watching another black-armoured soldier rushing towards the woman , eyes wide open and shouted: "Shameless! Something is coming at us!"
The black-armored soldier grinned and grabbed the woman's arm. The fierce gaze made the woman scream out, and then an arrow whizzed past her ear, piercing the soldier's throat.
Long arrows shot accurately into the bodies of the black-armored soldiers who got up to grab the hostages, followed by the fierce red light on the spears of the cavalry galloping from the street.
It was a bloody team, the armor on their bodies was stained crimson by the blood, the leader stopped in front of the captain who was holding the girl's neck with a sword and her feet were trembling, and said coldly :"open!"
"Get out of the way, let us go, or I will kill her!" The captain shouted tremblingly.
The man's eyes that were exposed outside the mask were slightly narrowed, and he glanced coldly at the black armored soldier whose wound was bandaged next to him, put the spear that was dripping blood on the saddle, and said coldly: "Do you think that is the case?" Can you go out? If you surrender honestly, you will be released to go home, but you want to kidnap even a woman, do you think I will let you go?"
"You're talking nonsense! The Rakshasa Army's subordinates never leave anyone alive, do you think I don't know?" the captain shouted, shaking his hand, and drew a bloodstain on the girl's neck.
"Jiarong!" The woman called out unconsciously, raised her frightened face and looked at the leader.
"Ah!" As soon as the woman took a look at the man, she heard a shrill scream. She hurriedly turned her head and saw the captain who was holding Jiarong holding his broken arm and retreating. Falling to the ground, he quickly stretched out his hand to pull Jiarong over, a red light flashed beside them, a long spear pierced them and nailed the captain to the wall.
"Damn it! When did we kill those who surrendered!" From the side of the black-armored captain, a silver-armored soldier held his slit stomach and supported his body with a long sword in his hand, spitting on him, Said: "Our Rakshasa Army has always been an obedient person who will never commit crimes! You fucking ruin our reputation!"
The woman let go of Jiarong and took the medicine from the medicine box while shouting: "Doctor! Come here quickly! We need stitches here!"
The spear at her side flicked, brought out a cloud of blood and took it back, the woman unconsciously looked back at the man.
Taking off the helmet, Gao Liu unconsciously glanced at the woman, it was so courageous to be so calm under such circumstances!
The eyes of the two met, and they were attracted by the rapid sound of horseshoes coming from the direction of the city gate.
Seeing the handsome man who had a fierce look on his face just now and then changed into a joyful smile in a blink of an eye, Fang Qingyan was slightly taken aback, and followed his gaze to the city gate.
The solemn red-armored cavalry lined up in two rows, guarding the woman in the middle and came in the morning sun. The orange sunlight reflected bright colors on her bright red skirt, and the power made people bend down unconsciously. waist.
"Gao Liu," the team stopped in front of them, the woman smiled, her face suddenly glowed brightly, and she seemed to have a holy light in the sunlight, she asked, "How about the casualties?"
"Fortunately, Brother Li has already killed and approached the imperial city, let me pick you up." Gao Liu said with a smile.
The woman looked around, then got off the horse, and was escorted by the two people who jumped off the horse after her, and came to Fang Qingyan's side, then squatted down, untied a medicine bag from her waist, and took out a pill for the silver Soldier A, and then handed the medicine bag to Fang Qingyan, saying: "The medicine in it can give you a sigh of relief, and it can be used for this kind of seriously wounded."
Hearing Fang Qingyan's reply, the woman said to the silver armored soldier: "Hold on, no matter what, save your life, your good days are yet to come!"
"Yes, master!" The soldier's eyes welled up with tears. He watched the woman stand up, her exquisite clothes were stained with blood, but looked around as if she didn't know it, and said loudly: "Brothers, you have worked hard!" !"
There were all kinds of responses, and the soldiers who were obviously seriously injured got up and watched the woman get on the horse, and Gao Liu and Gao Liu went to Yuqian Avenue.
"Hurry up and save people!" Fang Qingyan yelled, and the ambulance team members who were stunned by excitement came back to their senses and got busy.
Looking at the cavalry left behind by Gao Liu, Fang Qingyan whispered in her heart, General Gao Liugao...
