Six hundred and seventieth chapters blood spattered palace (4)
Soon, the sun sets, the sky becomes dim, and night falls. At this time, the torches are clear in the palace, and the rebels in Fengcui Palace are still entrenched. The imperial army has not launched a new offensive except for launching two powerful attacks in the afternoon, after both failed.
Liu Yu was also waiting for the night to come. Liu Yu prepared a bold plan to open a gap from the top of Fengcui Palace and create a "shock from the sky". Because the plan is difficult to implement, it is necessary to ensure that it is not discovered by the rebels, and it can only be easily implemented at night.
Just when the lamp was on, Xu Xuan built a military uniform and arrived at Yong'an Hall with Qi'er and Sui Yu, who were both in military uniforms. The new emperor arrived in person, and the army was excited for a while, and the generals came forward to bow and salute. Qi'er, who was wearing military uniforms, also received the words of Xu Xuanzhu. In front of Liu Yu's direct generals, she also showed the queen's demeanor, and spoke appropriately, which made the generals and officials believe it.
At this time, Xu Xuanzhu could bring Qier over to boost the morale of the army. Liu Yu had never expected that he did not want the female family members to take risks, so he never thought about this. Seeing that Qier's appearance was of great help to improve morale, Liu Yu also ordered to pass on the Queen's personal visit to the army.
In order to prevent accidents, Liu Yu gave an explanation before taking Qier out to meet the soldiers of the three armies: "Madam, after the war begins, you must ensure the safety of the family. Killing enemies on the battlefield is a man's business. You are in Yong'an Palace, don't go out."
Xu Xuanzhu is the head commander of the female army, so he naturally understands the current steep situation. She also knows that Liu Yu is the most reluctant to let go of the family. Xu Xuanzhu nodded immediately and agreed. Then he went to the front line with Qier and Liu Yu to visit the soldiers of the three armies.
The appearance of the queen. The three armies suddenly seemed to be ignited. The originally sluggish morale was also revived at this moment. Although Qi'er appeared at night and the road she walked was not long and only a few people could see it, Qi'er was the emperor after all. Even if the soldiers could not see it, they could still feel the existence of the emperor from the boiling sound of the crowd. As a result, the morale reached a very strong state.
Liu Yu saw that the time was similar, so he asked Xu Xuanzhu and Qier to return to Yong'an Palace first at the right time. He wanted to make the final pre-war mobilization. A war was about to begin in the face of a solid fortress and a group of thugs who were not afraid of death and had no way out. Liu Yu recruited generals from the three armies to meet on the front line and passed on some signals, preparing to forcefully attack Fengcui Palace after the surprise troops from the sky were effective.
Liu Yu also thought about the chance of winning this general attack, which was about 80%. He used hot air balloons to throw paratroopers. Although he had trained many times, now, safety is the priority. Liu Yu is preparing to use hot air balloons to send some people to Fengcui Palace. The number of people is not too large. Then he uses big firecrackers made of gunpowder to sneak attack into Fengcui Palace, causing chaos in Fengcui Palace. Then he waited for an opportunity to siege the three soldiers around Fengcui Palace to attack fiercely, in order to completely occupy Fengcui Palace in one round.
In this way, the safety of the hostages would not be guaranteed, and Liu Yu would not care too much. Liu Yu knew that he could not give up the complete encirclement and suppression of this group of rebels because of some ministers. It would be detrimental to him for a long time. Only by capturing or killing all the leaders in Fengcui Palace would the rebels in the two camps outside the city be left without a leader, and this would be able to dissolve the long-planned rebellion.
Before the surprise attacks from the sky began, Liu Yu ordered the first round of "interference" tactics to be launched, using fireworks of various colors as signals to launch shootings from all sides of Fengcui Palace, focusing on attracting the attention of the rebels in Fengcui Palace.
With the sound of neat gunfire, this was similar to the shooting of empty bullets, which caused a little uneasy among the rebels in Fengcui Palace. Because they were not sure about the intention of the imperial army, they were still uncertain whether the imperial army was bluffing or preparing for the next round of strong attacks. If the imperial army attacked, which direction would it attack? After all, there were not many rebels in Fengcui Palace, and it was difficult for them to deal with the attack in four directions at the same time. Now they can only make key precautions and, when necessary, take suicide methods to prevent the imperial army from entering Fengcui Palace.
Rounds of shootings are still in progress. Liu Yu calculated the right time. At this time, the hot air balloons had arrived directly above the palace. They had already turned off. They used some special methods to glide over Fengcui Palace, and the first batch of surprise soldiers had arrived at the top of Fengcui Palace. The sneak attack launched by Fengcui Palace did not start immediately. Liu Yu did not want to startle the snake too early. He still needed more surprise soldiers to reach his destination, but this task was really arduous. Which well-trained surprise soldiers were not easy to complete the designated surrender in such a strange night.
As several surprise soldiers were reluctant to complete the task and fell directly from the top of the hall, the rebels in Fengcui Palace also noticed the danger from the top of their heads. At the same time, the red fireworks took off, which meant that the sneak attack had officially begun.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..."
The roof of Fengcui Palace is no different from the rooftops of ordinary palaces. It has no ceiling. After the tiles on the roof beams and pillars, gunpowder bullets can be sent into Fengcui Palace. Then the explosions in Fengcui Palace indicate that it is completely in chaos.
Immediately afterwards, fireworks of various colors took off, and a strong attack was launched. Liu Yu deliberately asked the most exquisite new army in the main gate of Fengcui Palace to launch the charge first, waiting for an opportunity to save the court officials tied outside Fengcui Palace. With the charge of the court army, the rebels who were sneak attacked in Fengcui Palace, which seemed very chaotic. They also realized the court army's siege method of siege from up and down. They wanted to burn their boats and kill all the court officials, fighting with the court to the death. But at the same time, the new army in the direction of the Nangongmen had rushed to Fengcui Palace, and followed the
When the gunshots sounded, it was impossible to tell whether it was the gunshots of the rebels, the gunshots of the courts, or both. Many of the court officials who were bound were shot and fell down, but because of the chaos of the rebel defense lines, the shootings launched from the court officials did not form a large area of lethality. At least many court officials were blocked by the new army's shield before being shot. As a result, the new army soldiers rushed into Fengcui Palace on a large scale, and the undead court officials were also rescued, and many fled towards the central army of the court.
"Prevent spies!" Liu Yu was alert when he saw the court officials running over, and he was afraid that if they were tied with gunpowder, they would be human bombs one by one. Liu Yu didn't want to be too dangerous for nothing. Even the court officials he once trusted might be in the same group as the rebels. While Liu Yu arranged people to stop these court officials from further running into the court's central army, he also had to continue to organize a strong attack on Fengcui Palace.
The sneak attacks of the surprise troops from the sky did not last long, and the number of gunpowder bullets transported by hot air balloons was not large. The main purpose of this sneak attack was to cause self-disturbance to the rebels in Fengcui Palace, and use gunpowder bullets to detonate the human bombs bound by the rebels, so that the rebels could form "self-killing". When the imperial army entered Fengcui Palace from all directions, the sneak attack had stopped because they were afraid of hurting their own people.
Seeing that a tough battle was about to be won, Liu Yu also received the latest news from outside the palace. The army of Dongshui Camp had already rushed into the city from the north gate of Chang'an City, which made Liu Yu feel very annoyed. The people stationed at the north gate of Chang'an City were the people of the City Defense Department, and the troops of the City Defense Department did not fight, so they opened the city gate to surrender. This also shows that this rebellion was a rebellion within the court, and the court officials were all bribed. Whether it was military generals or court officials, many people had been bribed. Liu Yu still couldn't understand it. With Su Zhe's influence in the court, how could he bribe so many people to work for him?
Liu Yu sighed in his heart, first there was He Mao, then Dong Shu, and now some people from the City Defense Department... Fortunately, the new army was replaced and stationed in the south of the city at this time. The new army was his direct descendant of Liu Yu, and it was not easy for the rebels to win over. Therefore, the troops from the Chang'an camp in the south of the city did not enter the city. However, because the north gate of Chang'an City was lost, the army could only be temporarily withdrawn to the inner city, using the inner city as the second line of defense.
Liu Yu also realized that he had to quickly flatten the Feng Cui Palace in front of him. Only in this way would Dong Shu and He Mao and others have no support, even if they fight in a trapped beast, they would not have any results in the end.
At this time, the explosion and the shouts of killing sounds shook the sky. Inside and outside Fengcui Palace, it was like a bright crystal fortress, with nowhere in the darkness. Although the rebels' suicide attack was very effective, fortunately, there were many soldiers in the court, and they fell down in front and rushed in from behind. Moreover, with the experience of the previous two strong attacks, this time the court army attacked with shields as the first line of defense, and basically reduced the power of the musket. The court army, whether it was the new army or the troops of the City Defense Department, used swords and shields as barriers for attack.
As the war progressed step by step, more people rushed into the palace gate. As a result, the defensive net formed by the rebels at various entrances and exits of Fengcui Palace was no longer formed. An offensive and defensive battle turned into a chaotic battle in Fengcui Palace. Entering a chaotic battle, the court army occupied the advantage of the number of people and weapons. Until half an hour after the war started, the explosion in Fengcui Palace became smaller and smaller, which also shows that the rebels had basically been controlled.
When Liu Yu saw that the situation in Feng Cui Palace had been settled, he was more concerned about the situation outside the palace at this time. According to reports from all parties, the rebels from the two camps of Chang'an City had entered the outer city. In other words, the outer city of Chang'an City had been lost at this time.
This was a day ago, Liu Yu could not have imagined it. After surrendering without fighting at the North City Gate, Liu Yu realized that there were rebels in the army in the court. For the sake of safety, he had issued an order to complete the replacement of each city gate when retreating to the inner city to garrison. In other words, the people stationed at the inner city at this time were all Liu Yu's direct new army, but Liu Yu also realized that in addition to the palace who used him as the commander of the central army, the new army stationed in the inner city lacked a useful commander. Huo Bing suffered a great loss because of the first round of attack on Fengcui Palace, while generals such as Qi Fang, Zhang Wuzhu, and Hua Ji'an had not returned from other places. Most of the main forces of the new army were not in Chang'an City, and Chang'an City was also considered empty of defense at this time.
The war in Fengcui Palace had not yet completely subsided. Liu Yuxian met his old friend Han Sheng, who had just been rescued from the rebels in Yong'an Palace. Seeing Han Sheng, Han Sheng looked sighing and feeling, as if he had something to say.
"Brother Han, what is going on inside? You still don't want to tell me?" Liu Yu was angry when he saw Han Sheng's appearance, thinking that even Han Sheng had to cover up the leader inside?
Han Sheng finally did not answer Liu Yu's question, but just sighed and said, "When will the revenge be repaid?"
Liu Yu was helpless. After all, Han Sheng was also a "loyal minister" of the Su family. What Han Sheng was most afraid of was that Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor. If he could return the government to a man in the Su family, Han Sheng would definitely be happy. This is Liu Yu's helplessness. Even those who can be close to him pursue a kind of loyalty that is almost foolish and loyal. This is the principle of loyalty, filial piety, courtesy and righteousness pursued by Confucianism for thousands of years, and it is not something that Liu Yu can change alone.
Han Sheng can be his in-laws, and even marry his two tender and tender granddaughters to him as concubines, and even talk to him without any age or identity barriers. However, on the issue of the Su family, Han Sheng still has irreconcilable conflicts with him.
Liu Yu also knew that to completely calm down the criticism around him, only by eradicating all the ministers around him and replacing them with a new group of new ones, only in this way can everyone believe that he is a new wise monarch, and then start another dynasty where a group of people are foolish and loyal. Liu Yu did not want to do everything in his heart, at least he would not be so cruel to his old friend Han Sheng.
At this time, it was already the first time, and the war in Fengcui Palace had completely subsided. As the most trustworthy friend and general around Liu Yu, Li Mi was fully responsible for the search of the remaining rebels in Fengcui Palace to ensure that these people had any lethality. For those who were already dead on the ground, they had to make up for the death of them.
When Li Mi comes back and reports, his expression looks helpless. Liu Yu read a sense of surprise and uneasiness from Li Mi's expression. Liu Yu thought at first, was it because the rebels in Fengcui Palace that fled? Or were the rebels eliminated unclearly?
When Li Mi approached and said something in Liu Yu's ear, Liu Yu's face suddenly became gloomy. Liu Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. He finally understood why Li Mi was so surprised and uneasy, and also understood why Han Sheng was so old-fashioned. It turned out that all this was all his "self-destruction"!
"Lead ahead!" Liu Yu ordered Li Mi to come forward, and Liu Yu led his guards to the direction of Fengcui Palace together. At this time, Liu Yu also felt a deep feeling in his heart, because many things were not something he could predict.
When he arrived at the gate of Fengcui Palace, a chubby man was pressed down on the wooden threshold by the guards. The man also seriously argued with the new army soldiers: "Uh... I just want to go out to pee."
It is Chai Jin and Chai Hulu.
Liu Yu walked forward, Chai Jin looked up at Liu Yu, and seemed to not understand why he was held down. He felt that he should be with Liu Yu.
When Liu Yu reached the threshold, Chai Jin wanted to hold Liu Yu's leg and beg for mercy, but Liu Yu kicked it away. Liu Yu did not stop and stepped directly into the gate of Fengcui Palace.
The eyes were full of devastation, corpses, limbs, and bloodstains... At this time, Fengcui Palace had been completely occupied by the imperial army. However, no one in front of the dragon throne and looking around the audience dared to step forward and take him down. Even Liu Yu's direct subordinates and new soldiers and generals dared to step forward.
