Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Soon dusk sets, the sky darkens, and night falls.  At this time, the torches were brightly lit in the palace, and the rebels in Fengcui Palace were still entrenched. Except for two strong attacks in the afternoon, the imperial army never launched a new offensive.  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 send a "surprise soldier from the sky".  Because the plan was difficult to implement, and it was necessary to ensure that it would not be discovered by the rebels, it could only be implemented easily at night.  When the lights were first turned on, Xu Xuanchu, who was dressed in military uniform, and Qi'er and Sui Yu, who were also in military uniform, arrived at Yong'an Hall under the escort of female soldiers.  The new emperor arrived in person, and the morale of the army was immediately lifted. The generals came forward to kowtow and salute.  Qier, who was dressed in military uniform, also received the words and deeds of Xu Xuuzhu. In front of Liu Yu's direct generals, she also showed the demeanor of a queen, and her words were appropriate, and all the generals obeyed her.  At this time, Xu Xuanchu could bring Qier over to boost the morale of the army. Liu Yu had never thought before that he did not want the female relatives at home to be in danger, so he never thought about it.  Seeing that Qier's appearance was of great help in improving morale, Liu Yu also ordered to go down and spread the news to the army that the Queen would personally go to the front line to visit the soldiers.  In order to prevent accidents, Liu Yu made some explanations before taking Qier out to meet with the soldiers of the three armies: "Madam, after the war starts, you must ensure the safety of your family. Killing the enemy on the battlefield is a man's business, so you just  In Yong'an Hall, don't go out. "Xu Xuuzhu is the head coach of the female army, so she naturally understands the danger of the current situation. She also knows that Liu Yu is most concerned about his family of women.  Xu Xuanzang immediately nodded in agreement.  Then he joined Qier and Liu Yu.  Go to the front line to visit the soldiers of the three armies.  The appearance of the Queen.  The whole army seemed to be on fire.  The originally sluggish morale was revitalized at this moment. Although Qier appeared at night and the distance traveled was not long, and only a few people could see her, Qier was the emperor after all, even if the soldiers could not see her.  You can feel the emperor's presence from the roar of the crowd.  Following this, morale reached a very high state.  Liu Yu looked at the time and asked Xu Xuuzhu and Qier to return to Yong'an Palace first. He wanted to make the final mobilization before the war.  A war is about to begin, facing a solid fortress and a group of thugs who are not afraid of death and have no retreat.  Liu Yu summoned the generals of the three armies to meet at the front line, passed down some signals, and prepared to forcibly attack Fengcui Palace after the surprise troops sent from heaven were effective.  Liu Yu also calculated the chance of winning this general attack in his mind, which was almost 80%.  Paratroopers were dropped from hot air balloons before.  Although I have trained many times, now.  But putting safety first, Liu Yu planned to send some people to Fengcui Palace in a hot air balloon. The number of people did not need to be too many, and then used large firecrackers made of gunpowder to sneak into Fengcui Palace, causing chaos in Fengcui Palace.  Then wait for the opportunity to attack with the soldiers of the three armies surrounding Fengcui Palace, in order to completely occupy Fengcui Palace in one round.  In this way, the safety of the hostages will not be guaranteed, and Liu Yu will not be able to care too much.  Liu Yu knew in his heart that he could not give up the complete encirclement and suppression of this group of rebels because of some ministers. It would be very disadvantageous for him to delay for a long time. Only by capturing or killing all the leaders in Fengcui Palace would the two groups outside the city be defeated.  The rebels in the camp are leaderless, so that this long-planned rebellion can be disintegrated.  Before the start of the surprise attack from the sky, Liu Yu ordered the first round of "interference" tactics, using fireworks of various colors as signals, shooting from all sides of Fengcui Palace in turn, focusing on attracting the attention of the rebels in Fengcui Palace.  With the sound of neat gunshots, the shooting, which was similar to that of a blanking bullet, indeed caused a little uneasiness among the rebels in Fengcui Palace.  Because they were not sure of the intentions of the imperial army, they were still unsure whether the imperial army was bluffing or preparing for the next round of strong attack.  If the imperial army attacks, from which direction they will attack.  After all, there are not many rebels in Fengcui Palace. It is difficult for them to cope with attacks from four directions at the same time. Now they can only make key defenses and, when necessary, adopt suicidal methods to prevent the imperial army from advancing into Fengcui Palace.  Inside the Jade Palace.  Round after round of shooting was still going on. Liu Yu calculated the right time. At this time, each hot air balloon had arrived directly above the palace. They had all turned off and used some special methods to glide over Fengcui Palace.  , and the first batch of surprise soldiers have arrived at the top of Fengcui Palace.  The sneak attack launched from the top of Fengcui Palace did not start immediately. Liu Yu did not want to alert the enemy too early. He still needed more soldiers to reach the destination, but this task was really difficult. How many well-trained soldiers would be in such a strange atmosphere?  At night, it is not easy to surrender at a fixed point.  As several of the strange soldiers failed to complete their mission and fell directly from the roof of the palace, the rebels in Fengcui Palace also sensed the danger coming from above.  At the same time, red fireworks took off, which meant that the sneak attack had officially begun.  "Bang! Bang! Bang" The top of the Fengcui Palace looks like ordinary people.?The top of the palace is the same, there is no ceiling, and gunpowder bombs can be sent into Fengcui Palace from behind the tiles on the roof beams.  Then there were explosions all over the Fengcui Palace, indicating that it was completely in chaos.  Immediately after fireworks of various colors were launched into the sky, a storming battle was launched. Liu Yu deliberately let the best new troops at the main entrance of Fengcui Palace launch the charge first, waiting for an opportunity to rescue the courtiers who were tied up outside Fengcui Palace.  With the launch of the charge of the imperial army, Fengcui Palace was attacked by surprise. The rebels, who were already in chaos, also realized the imperial army's siege method from above and below. They wanted to kill all the courtiers.  They were fighting to the death with the imperial court, but at the same time, the new army in the direction of the south palace gate had rushed to the foot of Fengcui Palace. As the gunfire rang out, it was impossible to tell whether it was the gunfire of the rebels or the gunfire of the imperial army.  Or both.  Many of the bound courtiers were shot in the back and fell. However, due to the chaos of the rebel defense lines, these shots fired from behind the courtiers did not cause large-scale lethality. At least many courtiers were shot before they were shot.  , has been blocked behind by the new military shield.  Subsequently, the New Army soldiers poured into Fengcui Palace in large numbers, and those courtiers who survived were also rescued, and many of them fled towards the direction of the imperial army.  "Beware of spies!" Liu Yu saw the courtiers running away and was alert, if they were also tied with gunpowder.  It will be a suicide bomb.  Liu Yu didn't want to risk too much for nothing.  Even the courtiers he once trusted.  Maybe he's with the rebels too.  On the one hand, Liu Yu arranged manpower to prevent these courtiers from escaping further into the imperial army, and on the other hand, he also continued to organize a strong attack on Fengcui Palace.  The sneak attack by the surprise troops from the sky did not last long, and the number of gunpowder bombs transported up by the hot air balloon was not large.  The main purpose of this sneak attack was to cause the rebels in the Fengcui Palace to cause self-confusion, and use gunpowder bombs to detonate the human bombs tied to the rebels, causing the rebels to commit "self-killing".  By the time the imperial troops entered Fengcui Palace from all directions, the sneak attack had stopped.  Because I am afraid of hurting my own people.  Seeing that a critical battle was about to be won, Liu Yu also received the latest news from outside the palace.  The Dongshui Camp army had already entered the city from the north gate of Chang'an City, which made Liu Yu feel very annoyed.  The men and horses of the City Defense Department were stationed at the north gate of Chang'an City. However, the soldiers and horses of the City Defense Department opened the city gate and surrendered instead of fighting. This also shows that this rebellion was an internal rebellion within the imperial court, involving everyone in the court.  Whether they are generals or courtiers, many people have been bribed.  Liu Yu still can't understand it.  With Su Zhe's mere influence in the imperial court, how could he buy so many people to work for him?  Liu Yu sighed in his heart, first He Mao, then Dong Shu, and now some people from the City Defense Department Fortunately, at this time, the south of the city was guarded by the New Army. The New Army was Liu Yu's direct descendant and the rebel army.  It was not easy to win over, so the people from the Chang'an camp in the south of the city did not enter the city.  However, due to the loss of the north gate of Chang'an City, the army can 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 level the Fengcui Palace in front of him. Only in this way would Dong Shu, He Mao and his like have no support, and even if they were trapped beasts still fighting, there would be no results in the end.  At this time, there were explosions and shouts of killing in Fengcui Palace. The inside and outside of Fengcui Palace were like a bright crystal fortress, and there was no darkness anywhere.  Although the rebels' suicide attacks were very effective, fortunately there were many soldiers in the imperial court. When the front fell, they continued to rush in from behind.  Moreover, with the experience of the two previous strong attacks, this time the imperial army used shields as the first line of defense and basically downplayed the power of muskets. The imperial army, whether it was the new army or the troops of the City Defense Department, used  Swords and shields serve as barriers to strong attacks.  As the war progressed step by step, more troops entered the palace gate. As a result, the defensive network formed by the rebels at various entrances and exits of Fengcui Palace no longer took shape. An offensive and defensive battle turned into a battle between Fengcui Palace and Fengcui Palace.  There was a chaotic fight inside.  Entering a state of chaos, the imperial army had the advantage in numbers and weapons. Half an hour after the war started, the explosions in Fengcui Palace became smaller and smaller, which also showed that the rebels had basically been controlled.  Liu Yu saw that the situation in Fengcui Palace had been decided, and he was more concerned about the situation outside the palace at this time.  Judging from various sources, the rebels from the two major battalions of Chang'an City have entered the outer city.  In other words, the outer city of Chang'an City had been lost at this time.  Liu Yu would have never imagined this a day ago.  After the North City Gate surrendered without a fight, Liu Yu realized that there were rebels in the Central and North Korean armies. To be on the safe side, he had issued an order to use new troops to complete the attack on each city gate while retreating to the inner city.  Switch defense.  In other words, the people stationed at the several gates of the inner city at this time were all members of the New Army directly affiliated to Liu Yu. However, Liu Yu also realized that except for him as the commander of the Chinese army in the palace, the new army stationed in the inner city lacked  A very useful coach, Huo Bing suffered a big loss because of his strong attack on Fengcui Palace in the first round, while Qi Fang, Zhang Wuzhu, Hua Jian and other generals??I haven't returned yet from abroad.  Most of the main force of the New Army is not in Chang'an City. At this time, Chang'an City's defenses are considered empty.  The war in Fengcui Palace has not yet completely subsided. Liu Yuxian met with his old friend Han Sheng who had just been rescued from the rebels in Yong'an Palace.  Seeing Han Sheng, Han Sheng looked sad and sighing, and seemed to have many things he didn't want to say.  "Brother Han, what is going on inside, and you still refuse to tell me until now?" Liu Yu felt angry when he saw Han Sheng's appearance, thinking that even Han Sheng would have to protect the leader inside?  In the end, Han Sheng did not answer Liu Yu's question. He just sighed and said, "When will the injustice be repaid?" Liu Yu felt helpless. After all, Han Sheng was also a "loyal minister" of the Su family. What Han Sheng feared most was Liu Yu.  The more he becomes an emperor, Han Sheng will definitely be happy if he can return the government to a man from the Su family.  This is Liu Yu's helplessness. Even the people who are close to him still adhere to a kind of loyalty that is close to foolish loyalty. This is the principle of loyalty, filial piety, etiquette and justice that Confucianism has pursued for thousands of years. Liu Yu alone cannot change it.  .  Han Sheng could be his in-law, and would even marry his two delicate and graceful granddaughters to him as concubines, and he could even chat with him without any age or status barriers.  But Han Sheng still had irreconcilable conflicts with him regarding the Su family issue.  Liu Yu also knew that in order to completely quell the criticism around him, he had to eradicate all the ministers around him and replace them with a new batch. Only in this way, everyone would believe that he was the new sage monarch, and then start another period in which a group of people were man-made.  The foolish and loyal dynasty.  Liu Yu didn't want to do everything, at least he couldn't be so cruel to his old friend Han Sheng.  It was already the first watch, and the fighting in Fengcui Palace had completely subsided. As Liu Yu's most trustworthy friend and general, Li Mi was now fully responsible for the search for the remaining rebels in Fengcui Palace to ensure that these  Human beings have no lethality, and for those who are already dead on the ground, they have to be replenished with a knife to ensure that they are completely dead.  When Li Mi came back to report, he looked very helpless. Liu Yu read a kind of surprise and uneasiness from Li Mi's expression.  Liu Yuchu thought to himself, could it be that the rebels in Fengcui Palace escaped?  Or were the rebels not eradicated cleanly?  When Li Mi came forward and said something in Liu Yu's ear, Liu Yu's face instantly darkened.  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 nostalgic. It turned out that all this was "his own fault"!  "Lead the way!" Liu Yu gave the order, with Li Mi in front and Liu Yu leading the guards behind, heading towards Fengcui Palace together.  At this time, Liu Yu also felt a heavy feeling in his heart, because many things were beyond his expectation.  Arriving at the gate of Fengcui Palace, a chubby man was pushed down on the wooden threshold by the guards. This man even argued with the New Army soldiers in a serious manner: "Uh I just want to go out and pee." It was Chai Jin, Chai Gourd.  Liu Yu stepped forward. Chai Jin raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu. He seemed not to understand why he was being held down. He felt that he should be with Liu Yu.  When Liu Yu arrived at the threshold, Chai Jin wanted to hug Liu Yu's legs and beg for mercy, but Liu Yu kicked him away.  But Liu Yu didn't stop and stepped directly into the gate of Fengcui Palace.  It was full of devastation, corpses, mutilated limbs, and bloodstains At this time, Fengcui Palace had been completely occupied by the imperial army.  But there was a person wearing a dragon robe standing in front of the dragon chair, looking around the audience, but no one dared to step forward and take him down.  Even Liu Yu's direct subordinates, soldiers and generals of the New Army, none of them dared to step forward.  It was not Su Zhe, but Su Yan, who was supposed to be on the way to his vassal, and to be his vassal king honestly.  Liu Yu's good disciple.  (To be continued)
