Sui and Tang Dynasties: At the beginning, Mrs. Li ran away from relatives

Page 223

Immediately, with several civil and military personnel, they walked in through the north gate of Luoyang City.

After entering the city gate, everyone could see the looming imperial palace in the distance.

In an instant, everyone's calm hearts became excited again.

"Your Majesty, the southwest city gate has been breached."

"Your Majesty, the northeast city gate has been breached."

Su Dingfang and Li Cunxiao came to report one after another.

"very good."

Cao Feng nodded his head.

"Immediately wipe out the remnants of the enemy and completely control Luoyang City."

For this, a military order was issued.

Only in this way can Luoyang City be completely occupied, free up hands to concentrate troops, and take down the palace faster.

"promise!"

Li Jing responded.

"Tap..."

For a while, the sound of military boots stepping sounded from time to time.

The Han army launched a series of pursuits against the remaining Xiaoguowei outside the palace.

Put down your arms and surrender, and you can avoid death.

If you resist stubbornly, you will kill them ruthlessly without leaving any sympathy.

"kill……"

Therefore, the sound of shouting and killing continued to extend from the city gate to the city, causing the palace to be clearly audible.

In the second hall of the imperial palace, Xiao Meiniang, who was planning to rest and have a sweet dream, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes.She raised her head and looked in the direction of the shouting sound, her expression a little nervous.

Because the sound of killing was so close, it seemed to be right next to her ear.

"oo? I still wanted to have a sweet dream."

Xiao Mei Niang couldn't help sighing.

Now that the sound of shouting and killing was so close and so intense, how could it make her fall asleep?

"It seems that the war has reached a critical moment."

Xiao Meiniang hadn't thought of the worst, otherwise, the shouts of killing would not have been more intense than the previous few days.

"I hope that the two old generals will hold on until His Majesty arrives, or King Qin's army arrives."

Xiao Mei Niang prayed secretly.

Speaking of which, she had no choice but to pray.

"Ta Ta..."

At this time, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

"Queen."

Immediately afterwards, there were two panicked voices.

Just hearing two voices, Xiao Meiniang knew who it was.

The people who came here are probably His Majesty Xinna's concubines Zhang Guying and Yi Wanyun.

Zhang Guying and Yi Wanyun, they are the famous Concubine Zhang and Concubine Yi in history, they were brought in not long ago, and they belonged to the original outfit.It was supposed to go to the Taiyuan Palace, but it was delayed until now because of the affairs of the Han army.

"Enter."

Xiao Mei Niang said.

"crunch..."

Immediately, the door of the second hall was pushed open by the two women.

They came in a panic, their faces pale from being frightened by the shouts of killing.

That beautiful face was full of fear at this moment.

"Queen, there is too much shouting and killing outside. Could it be that the Han army has entered the city?"

Zhang Guying said nervously.

Yi Wanyun looked at the queen in bewilderment, if the Han army invaded, they would face an unknown end.

The two came here also to seek the queen's protection.

"It's nothing, it should be a critical moment in the war."

Xiao Meiniang could only comfort her.

Seeing that the queen was so calm, the two women relaxed their tense nerves.

"Queen, can Your Majesty come in time?"

They asked with some expectation.

If His Majesty returns, they don't have to be afraid (what?).

"Don't worry, His Majesty will be back in time."

Xiao Meiniang said that, but in fact she didn't know what the situation outside was like, she just tried to comfort the two girls as much as possible.

Now is a critical period, and anyone's nervousness will cause panic among everyone in the rear.

"This is the best."

Hearing that, the two women completely calmed down.

However, they didn't intend to leave for a while.

Instead, stay by the queen's side to make them feel at ease.

"Huhe..."

At the same time, Qiu Rui quickly returned to the palace with the remnants of the defeated army, panting slightly.

He retreated from the top of the city to the palace, he barely rested, and if he came back with the remnants as quickly as possible, if he was delayed for a long time, not only would there be a loss of troops, but it would even affect the defense line of the palace

"How many soldiers are left?"

When the breath was balanced, Qiu Rui looked at a general of Xiaoguowei.

"Back to the old general..."

The general hesitated to speak.

"Go ahead."

Qiu Rui was mentally prepared for this.

"Our army still has [-] troops left."

The general said with a wry smile.

"what? "

Qiu Rui's face was extremely ugly.

Out of the 4000 trump card Xiaoguo Guards, there are only [-] left. With this strength, how can they hold on to the palace?

"Why, the Han army will see through our strategy?"

Under the ugly face, Qiu Rui couldn't help being puzzled.

Luoyang City, which was supposed to be impenetrable, was directly attacked and destroyed by the Han army within seven days.

The speed is not uncomfortably fast, which also shows that the seemingly solid line of defense is actually not that strong.

"Could it be that there are peerless experts in the Han army giving advice?"

Qiu Rui couldn't help but think of this.

Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why the Han army could see through their strategy.Whether the emergency plan will be leaked is absolutely impossible, only he and General Wei know. ?

Chapter 152 The original dream was completely shattered (subscribe with support)

"Where is General Wei, why didn't you see him?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Qiu Rui asked strangely.

Because until this time, there was no sign of his colleague Wei Wensheng.

Moreover, he remembered that when he retreated, the defense line in charge should have collapsed first.

According to common sense, they should arrive at the palace first.

"Old General Wei, he, he!"

It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, the bodies of these Xiaoguowei shake violently.

Many people's eyes were rosy, and for a while, they couldn't speak at all.

These Xiaoguo guards basically followed Wei Wensheng and guarded a line of defense.

"Slurp..."

Seeing the reaction of some Xiaoguowei, Qiu Rui's heart skipped a beat.

An ominous premonition quickly emerged from the bottom of my heart.

"Say!"

"Old General Qiu, Old General Wei died in battle when the line of defense was breached!"

A Xiaoguo guard choked up and said.

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Rui's mind was bombarded by five thunders.

The whole person staggered and nearly fell to the ground, but Xiao Guowei went to help him in the end.

"Die just like that?"

In response, Qiu Rui lowered his head and gave a wry smile.

Those cloudy eyeballs had already shed a tear, and they were extremely red.

At this age, there are very few people of the same generation, not to mention that the relationship between the two is not bad, so it is extremely uncomfortable.

Otherwise, how could a half-life soldier like him behave in such a gaffe.

"The old general would rather die than retreat, and fight to the last moment."

At this time, Xiao Guowei said in a low voice.

"This is his best home!"

The grief-stricken Qiu Rui clapped his hands instead, and died with vigor, worthy of being General Wei.

The atmosphere inevitably became low, and a sad breath permeated the air.

"Set up the line of defense, the old man will go to meet the queen first."

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Rui calmed down and stood up.

The battle is still going on, since Luoyang City has been breached, the Queen should know.

"promise!"

The nearby Xiaoguo Weiqiang cheered up and set up defenses around the palace.

"call."
