Chapter 204: The Imperial Guards Rebellion, the Anxious Prince!
Chapter 204: The Imperial Guards Rebellion, the Anxious Prince!
"Kakaka!"
Zhou Sheng walked out of the hall with heavy steps. Li Ye saw him and said, "Use all the tables and chairs in the hall as shields to protect against enemy arrows. Leave fifty Yu Lin guards inside to protect His Majesty. The rest of the imperial guards will tie white strips on their arms and follow me to guard outside the hall!"
There is no suspense at all in this kind of battle. There is nothing in this imperial palace, so we have to keep things simple!
However, when Gu Jingzhi heard Li Ye's arrangement, he thought to himself that the old ones are still the best!
There is a rebellion in the palace, and God knows who arranged it. If the enemies outside take all the people out, once something happens in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it will probably be too late!
As for the white cloth strips tied on their hands, it was just to distinguish between friend and foe. After all, they still had three hundred guards on their side.
Fortunately, the Yulin Guards and the Neiwei wear different uniforms, so there is no need for such trouble.
Now all the generals in the hall, regardless of age, were driven out by Li Ye, ready to fight against the rebel army.
only……
An old general said, "Duke Ying, we have no weapons or armor when we go out here!"
When the other generals heard this, they all realized that armor and weapons were indispensable on the battlefield, especially armor, which could save their lives.
Especially the general armor, ordinary blades cannot penetrate the armor, only long weapons such as spears can do it.
They are all old now, and they didn’t expect that they would fight in their old age without even weapons and armor.
Who would have thought that Li Ye's eyes widened: "Don't I have anything too? I've fought for so many years, if I don't have anything, won't I just take it from the enemy?"
"I think you've been living in peace for too long, and you're all scared to death. Look at that kid Gu, a weak scholar, without a weapon, right? Even he dares to serve as a vanguard for His Majesty, so why are you still acting like cowards?"
"..."
All the dukes and marquises were immediately embarrassed.
You could say that Gu Jingzhi was a scholar, but when he first returned from his diplomatic mission, just two of them dared to charge into the opposing army of 3,000 men. Do you call that weak?
Are you afraid that you have misunderstood this word?
"Alright, stop talking! You all have to listen to me on the battlefield!"
Li Ye looked like a bandit and directly ordered the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to be closed. Looking at the more than 400 people who were on high alert blocking the stairs of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Li Ye silently glanced at these soldiers and his old brothers beside him, feeling a little sad.
I don’t know how many people will be left after this battle!
"Everyone, pay attention! If the enemy comes with bows and arrows, don't stop, just charge at them and mix with them!"
Although charging directly into the formation would easily disrupt one's own formation.
However, there is no way around it. The soldiers who were transferred to duty today were just for show and didn't even have shields.
Apart from a suit of armor, the only things he had on him were his weapons.
After Li Ye gave the order, he whispered beside Gu Jingzhi, "Gu boy, I know you are a master of martial arts. If things get out of hand later, you can go into the palace and take the little prince away from here."
"Duke..."
"Don't argue! We still don't know who's behind this rebellion. As long as the situation calms down, there's still a chance!"
As a veteran who has fought on the battlefield all his life, he also knew that it would not be easy to hold off the enemy until reinforcements arrived with just a few hundred people!
After all, the opponents are the imperial guards guarding the palace.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingzhi just nodded silently, looking at the completely quiet night sky, feeling quite melancholy.
The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the most lively place in the palace, is now extremely deserted. Perhaps the rebels have already started to act.
He also didn't expect that the first New Year after his time travel would be a bloody night!
Just as he was stunned, heavy footsteps suddenly came from the night sky. These were the footsteps of thousands of marching troops. Hearing these footsteps, the crowd couldn't help but panic.
Li Ye shouted angrily, "What are you afraid of? They're just a few thousand people. What's there to be afraid of? When we followed His Majesty to conquer the world, didn't we see scenes like this?"
Li Ye's voice had a calming effect.
After all, now at the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, except for those who have died, almost all the founding dukes and marquises are here, especially Li Ye, who is known as the first duke of Daxia. He is almost seventy years old, and isn’t he also guarding the gate of this hall?
Gu Jingzhi looked at the army slowly approaching in the darkness and whispered to Lin Feng and Liu Sandao, "When the fight starts, be careful and follow orders. Don't be reckless!"
"Don't worry, cousin, we know!"
"it is good!"
……
The rebels gradually approached the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Li Ye stared at the rebels and suddenly shouted, "Huo Wenwu, I didn't expect that the one leading the rebellion would be a scoundrel like you!"
The voice was loud and powerful, and even people in the inner hall could hear it clearly.
As soon as Huo Wenwu's name came out, the prince's face changed immediately.
"Huo Wenwu, Huo Wenwu...it's actually him!"
The prince seemed to be possessed by a demon, and kept repeating Huo Wenwu's name. He was very familiar with this name, but he could never have imagined that the one causing the trouble would be Huo Wenwu.
The Second and Third Princes, who were sitting below him, also noticed this scene and couldn't help but teasingly asked, "Brother, are you scared?"
In this quiet hall, everyone could hear the Second Prince's words clearly!
Emperor Xia shouted angrily, "Shut up, you traitor!"
It's already this late, and he's still busy scheming against his own big brother! What an idiot!
After being scolded by Emperor Xia, the Second Prince quickly shut his mouth, but the Crown Prince was still in panic. When Huo Wenwu was still a captain, he was under the command of the Crown Prince. Now, ten years have passed, and Huo Wenwu has become the deputy commander of the imperial guards and one of the biggest trump cards in the Crown Prince's hand.
After all, an army of 10,000 people that can control the palace is enough for him to turn the tables if there are any changes in the future.
However, reality now tells him that this trump card has been turned upside down, and if he is not careful it may become a trump card that costs him his life!
However, he just couldn't figure out why Huo Wenwu was like this?
He usually treated Huo Wen's weapons very seriously, but now he didn't even tell him about the rebellion.
"Could it be that he has switched sides?"
A little princess sitting behind the prince suddenly grabbed his hand and cried, "Brother, I'm scared..."
The Crown Prince was startled and hurried to comfort his little sister, but when he turned around, he found that the Crown Princess's seat was empty.
He suddenly discovered that the Crown Princess seemed to have been out for some time!
Could it be that we encountered a rebellious army?
