royal palace.
Ladders were set up on the city wall. King Fu's soldiers roared angrily and climbed up the ladder with their long knives. Waves of arrows rained down from the sky.
The dead soldiers who had climbed halfway screamed like hailstones falling to the ground, falling from the ladder with a huffing sound, hitting the ground and splashing countless blood.
On the city wall, there is a man wearing silver-white iron armor and a white brocade cloak tied around his neck. He holds a spear and shoots straight into the sky. He has waist-length hair and is very heroic.
This is not a general of the new army, but a wise empress of the Gale Dynasty, Ye Qingluan!
The docile and virtuous Empress Dafeng, who is regarded as the mother of the world, now has slanted eyebrows, a cold face, and cold moon-like eyes filled with endless killing intent, making her look like an iron-blooded general.
Unlike last time, today the palace was well prepared in advance. All kinds of defensive equipment were piled inside and outside the palace. Even the four palace gates were reinforced in advance. The city wall was raised by two or three meters with mud and stones.
What's even more terrifying are the firearms, not only the new firecrackers, but also the red cannons that were originally installed on the city walls, and the gunpowder and iron pellets are also piled up.
It was as if he already knew that King Fu would rebel today.
After briefly learning the fire cannons, the Imperial Guardsmen who guarded the city began to install the new fire cannons, discarding all the original strong bows and crossbows.
The new fire gun has a long range, great power, and is effortless to launch. Would that fool not use it?
The Imperial Guards holding firecrackers threw away their bows and arrows, and began to shoot with firecrackers in an orderly manner. From one shot per minute at the beginning, to five or six shots per minute now, the iron pellets fell on the heads of the dead soldiers like heavy rain, like iron pellets. The plow cuts through the ground.
With the blessing of firearms, even though King Fu's dead soldiers and rebels attacked fiercely, there was still no progress.
Nothing can be done except leaving corpses on the ground!
Each time, they would approach the palace wall in a dense mass, and then fall to the ground amid wailing sounds. Then their colleagues behind them would step on their bodies, repeat their actions, and fall to the ground dead.
On the city wall, two figures suddenly appeared behind Ye Qingluan, both wearing armor, but compared with Ye Qingluan, their momentum was far behind.
It was Zhao Huaijin and Empress Dowager Zheng Zheng Mengjing.
Unlike Ye Qingluan, who was majestic and murderous, the two of them looked extremely timid, with pale faces and cold hands and feet.
Empress Dowager Zheng was a little better. After all, she was well-informed and relatively calm.
But Zhao Huaijin was already so frightened that his beautiful eyes turned red.
However, this was also the first time that Empress Dowager Zheng saw such a queen, and she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart. There was such a woman who was so invincible in the world today!
Ye Qingluan was seen holding a spear in his hand, commanding the left and right imperial troops to stop the rebels below the city. On his fair and beautiful face, facing the hell-like scene below the city, there was a playful sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if this calmness was born with.
The moonlight fell, and Ye Qingluan's two clear and beautiful eyes were like two stars falling into the mortal world.
At this moment, the palace gate is like a giant fire-breathing beast, with flames raging into the sky and iron pellets flying, devouring human lives wantonly.
Suddenly aware of someone behind him, Ye Qingluan raised his eyebrows, swung the spear in his hand, and looked back suddenly. But when he saw it was them, he immediately put away his gun, "Why are you up here? It's too dangerous, get down quickly!"
Zhao Huaijin took a step back in fear, lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Queen Mother Zheng, his tearful eyes full of grievances.
Empress Dowager Zheng smiled bitterly, stepped forward to hold Ye Qingluan's hand, raised the corners of her mouth, and squeezed out a nice arc, "Empress, the traitors have revolted and are approaching the palace. How can we bear to let the Empress guard the palace alone?" City, if something happens, how can we explain it to His Majesty? It just so happens that we are here to share the burden for you."
"Yes, Sister Qingluan, we can also protect you." Zhao Huaijin stuck out her tongue and always hid behind Queen Mother Zheng, not even daring to raise her head.
Ye Qingluan gave a helpless smile and shook his head repeatedly.
No matter what, it's great that they can take the initiative to go to the city wall to defend the city.
At least I still have the heart!
But with them defending the city and protecting themselves, if something happened, who would protect whom?
Ye Qingluan showed a smile and said softly: "Be careful, arrows are flying everywhere here. If you accidentally mess up your pretty jade face, you will lose more than you gain."
Zhao Huaijin smiled playfully, "Sister Qingluan, don't worry, even if this arrow has seen us, it will still go around."
At this moment, Ye Qingluan's expression suddenly changed. He swung the spear in his hand and shook the tip of the spear, interrupting an arrow that shot through the air to the ground.
This scene scared Zhao Huaijin quite a bit. Just now he said he would go around, but now he went straight to them.
This frightened Zhao Huaijin and Queen Mother Zheng so much that their pretty faces suddenly changed, the smiles on their lips froze, and they both squatted on the ground.
"Come here!" Ye Qingluan waved, and a dozen forbidden soldiers ran past with shields in hand, carefully protecting the two of them in the middle.
"Now you know, this battlefield is not that fun."
Zhao Huaijin's eyes were red, and he patted his unique high chest with lingering fear, and the waves surged.
"You two should go back to the palace quickly. It's too dangerous here. Don't worry, the rebels can't attack the palace no matter what!" Ye Qingluan gave them a shot in the arm.
"Yes, ladies, don't worry. Unless the general is killed, the rebels will not be able to invade the palace. If the two ladies are harmed here, the general will not be able to bear it." It was Lu Hancheng who spoke. As the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, it is his duty to guard the palace.
Ye Qingluan looked at Lu Hancheng and said softly: "Please also ask General Lu to send someone to escort the two empresses back to the palace."
"No!" Lu Hancheng responded.
After the two of them left, Ye Qingluan returned to his cold demeanor and said coldly: "Tell the brothers of the Forbidden Army to kill the rebels. When His Majesty comes back, I will personally ask for credit and pour the wine for them."
"No, thank you very much, the Queen. I will fight to the death with all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army to repay Your Majesty and the Queen for their kindness!" Lu Hancheng hurriedly knelt down.
Ye Qingluan nodded with satisfaction, turned his head, his beautiful eyes were like ice, and said proudly: "Soldiers of the Forbidden Army, as the Queen of Gale, although I am a female prostitute, I do not want to live in this world. I would rather die in battle, on the battlefield with blood, and be wrapped in horse leather. , vowing to fight the rebels to the end and live and die with the Gale Dynasty!"
In the last sentence, the tone of Ye Qingluan's voice increased several points, and the sonorous and powerful voice was like a muffled thunder exploding over the palace, inspiring people.
The soldiers of the Forbidden Army immediately shouted in unison, "I swear to live and die with the Gale Dynasty, and I swear to live and die with the Gale Dynasty!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Suddenly, the morale of the Forbidden Army soldiers on the entire palace wall was like a rainbow, their murderous intent was soaring, and their firearms were roaring.
The entire palace is like a sky-high peak, indestructible and unyielding.
The wind and rain are coming, the force is unbreakable, the thunder is overwhelming, the force is unbreakable!
Below the palace, the corpses of the rebels were piled on top of each other, with blood like streams, and the smell of blood filled the sky, which was so terrifying.
At the foot of the city, King Fu's face was livid, furious, and his teeth were clenching.
In just one stick of incense, thousands of rebels and five hundred dead soldiers were killed, and countless others were injured.
If the consumption continues like this, even one million people and horses will not be enough, let alone 100,000 people and horses!
The most terrible thing is that the troops were raised too hastily. They didn't even have all the siege equipment, they only had to climb ladders.
"Little Li Yi, I swear to fight you till death, and Ye Qingluan, you damn stinky bitch, you deserve to die!" King Fu appeared with a ferocious look and an angry look.
All the generals on the left and right were angry but dared not speak. They lowered their heads and remained silent.
There were military generals sent by the Zheng family and generals who had taken refuge with him, but none of them could give him advice. He hated Li Yi Xiaoer and killed all the think tanks in his hands.
"Trash, a bunch of trash! Tens of thousands of people can't even take down a mere palace? What's the use of my king raising you? Trash!" King Fu jumped in anger.
At this time, a soldier came to report, "Your Highness, the soldiers from the Beijing Camp in the four cities of the capital have begun to counterattack. Our troops attacking the four cities have been frustrated. Please support your Highness!"
"What!"
King Fu raised his leg and kicked the soldier down, "You bastard, let me support you, but you can't even take down the four gates. What a waste! What a waste!"
The generals on the left and right heard this and began to persuade: "Your Highness, time is pressing. The palace has been prepared for a long time. It is better for us to join forces and capture the four cities of the capital first, and then concentrate our forces to attack the palace."
"Yes, Your Highness, it is really not worth it to waste our troops in the palace!"
King Fu was already confused and had no idea. Hearing this, he nodded helplessly.
Immediately, he raised his head, stared at the figure on the city fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Qingluan, just wait. When I take over the palace, I will press you on the bed and ravage you, making you kneel down." Please beg for mercy to relieve the hatred in my heart!"
"Send the king's military order to withdraw the troops!"
"withdraw!"
