Outside the imperial city, Prince Snow Star looked at the anxious situation in front of him with a gloomy expression.
He originally hoped that Xue Qinghe would not be able to take control of the palace quickly, but he did not expect that the other party not only took control of the palace, but also recruited some city guards and royal soul masters to serve him. Seeing that even Dugu Bo was temporarily blocked, he did not have much
There's a solution.
But now he has done something. As the saying goes, there is no turning back. There is absolutely no room for retreat at this moment. There is no retreat behind him. Today's scene... hum, either you die, or I live. Or become the king...
Or, defeat the enemy.
Prince Xue Xing thought of this and pulled out his long sword with a swish sound, pointing the sword's edge at the sky. Compared with Xue Qinghe's many methods, the only advantage he had was his control of the army.
After all, he has led troops for many years and has a special status. Moreover, in this big scene where soldiers meet each other, a real tough battle still requires a duel with real swords and guns by his troops.
With a sword in his hand, Prince Snow Star looked at the thousands of heavy armored cavalry around him and the infantry phalanxes of the Guards arranged neatly around the square, feeling a bit heroic in his heart.
Once upon a time, he, Prince Xue Xing, was also a marshal with millions of troops. Even the strong men in Wuhun Palace were nothing more than chickens and dogs in front of him. He was not the one who saved Dugu Bo back then. He had no power in Wuhun Palace.
Afraid, are you afraid of a small snow clear river?
"Xue Qinghe, you are happy too early. Maybe you have a knack for winning people's hearts, but when it comes to leading troops in war... you are far inferior to me..."
Prince Xue Xing thought to himself, and naturally he did the same thing. He looked around and roared at everyone, "Everyone, today's situation is to advance or retreat. If you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die."
Seeing Prince Snow Star acting like this, his well-trained heavy cavalry immediately became excited, and many knights pulled out their long swords in a unified movement.
"Listen to my orders!"
Following Prince Snow Star's angry shout, swords suddenly appeared like a forest, and countless soldiers raised their ice blades. Then, when the tens of thousands of troops surrounded by the square heard the shout, they also responded loudly.
Prince Xue Xing's heroic appearance was like a star holding the moon under the guard of many knights. At this moment, he was more powerful than the fourth prince Xue Beng and the prince Xue Qinghe, and he seemed to be the one everyone expected.
"kill!!!"
With a whistle, the final charge began. Thousands of archers fired volleys from Prince Snow Star's infantry square, and arrowheads filled the sky like locusts flying toward the walls of the imperial city.
At this moment, on the city wall above the palace, due to the haste of the battle, the archers of the Imperial Guard were at a disadvantage. After only a sparse return shot, they were immediately shot by the archers below the city and were unable to lift their heads.
Come, and the guards at the top of the city naturally have no advantage.
After the guards at the top of the city were suppressed, Prince Xue Xing personally led the army to attack the front line. His soul master training was not too weak. He took the initiative to charge at this moment, and everyone in his path was turned upside down, and no one could stop him for a moment.
"The whole army obeyed the order, targeted the palace wall, broke through the imperial city, and rushed into the palace."
The Guards launched a decisive charge, with a thousand men at the front. Arrows from the Imperial City were shot sparsely, but the Guards wore fully armed armor and formed a square formation, blocking the front with shields.
After countless arrowheads bounced off, the infantry phalanx suffered very little damage. Unless a few unlucky ones were injured by stray arrows that passed through the gaps between shields and armors, the entire phalanx remained intact.
The Guards and reinforcements outside the city were defeated by a crazy charge. The Guards arrived at the city and then attacked the imperial city. Countless people rushed to the top of the city, and the city gate below was also hit by the infantry with giant logs.
On the towers of the inner city of the imperial city, there were heavy sounds, as if they were hitting people's hearts. Xue Qinghe on the city wall looked down in a daze. Prince Xue Xing, who was leading the charge, was definitely his at this moment.
nightmare.
He originally didn't take the emperor's uncle very seriously, because of Emperor Xue Ye's bias, and because the emperor's uncle was not very popular, it could be said that Prince Xue Xing was crushed by him in many aspects.
But at this moment, he felt fear, and for the first time he realized that power is not omnipotent. As the saying goes, a son with a lot of money cannot sit down in court, but Prince Snow Star personally led the troops into battle. Such crazy behavior brought him
The shock can be imagined.
"Xue Xing is the best one among my brothers who can lead an army. He was also the one who led the troops to stop Wuhun Palace's pursuit of Dugu Bo. In terms of commanding an army, he may not be the strongest in the empire, but he is definitely
He is a brave general who ranks among the best."
In Xue Qinghe's ears, Emperor Xue Ye's voice made him regain some of his consciousness. He looked around in confusion and found that the generals around him were also very flustered.
The equipment and personnel of the Royal Palace Guards are all really elite, but after all, they mostly work in the deep palace to protect the safety of the royal family and have basically never experienced a real war.
This was the critical moment to defend the city, but each of these generals seemed a little at a loss. In fact, Xue Qinghe had wrongly blamed them.
You must know that it is best to have rolling logs and rocks to smash down the city, or kerosene and the like, which will definitely cause huge damage to the opponent. But in this palace, where are there any rolling logs, rocks, kerosene, etc.
s things.
"Qinghe, this farce has been enough. If it continues, there will really be no end."
On the tower in the inner city of the palace, Emperor Xue Ye had been paying attention to Xue Qinghe's actions. Seeing his performance, although he sighed in his heart, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is not afraid of problems in Xue Qinghe, but he is afraid that everything has been arranged for his son. This shows that his son has long had evil intentions, and if this is the case, he, the emperor, will be even more dangerous.
"The city is broken. The city is broken."
Just as Emperor Xueye was speaking, suddenly panicked shouts came from the front, and he saw the gate of the outer city of the palace crashing to the ground, and a large number of soldiers and horses poured into the square between the outer city and the inner city.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this moment, the retreating soldiers were crying for their fathers and mothers, while the guards outside the city were sharpening their swords. This crazy scene was really
It's scary to watch.
"You can go out with me. As a prince, you must have the most basic manners."
Emperor Xueye noticed Xue Qinghe's panic, and after comforting him, he took Xue Qinghe down to the city head with the support of many soldiers.
"Siege the city...charge..."
At this moment, outside the imperial city, a large number of soldiers and horses broke through the city. They were about to attack the inner city and then completely invade the palace. Suddenly, countless soldiers and guards stopped as if they had seen a ghost.
"Xue Xing, come out and see me."
Emperor Xue Ye walked up to the top of the city and, regardless of the danger of blades and arrows, gave a condescending shout. Countless advancing Guards were ordered to halt, and the fleeing Guards were able to retreat with luck.
"Emperor, imperial brother."
Prince Snow Star was now stained with blood, and his cloak was dyed red. With the support of countless soldiers, he came to the bottom of the inner city. Looking at the figure at the top of the city in the distance, he seemed a little at a loss.
"Father, father..."
Behind Prince Xue Xing, the fourth prince Xue Beng came to the front under the guard of a team of elite soldiers. When he saw Emperor Xue Ye, he looked extremely excited, "Father, don't worry, my uncle and I will definitely capture Xue Qinghe."
Beast, rescue you."
Xue Beng's words caused a commotion among the soldiers from all directions, and many generals in the crowd looked at him with changes in their eyes.
Regarding today's military turmoil, the reason is naturally the internal fighting in the royal family, but how the fight started, many people are actually still a little confused.
A few days ago, the prince was highly trusted by the emperor and seemed to be about to succeed to the throne. At that time, the fourth prince was a dandy that no one paid attention to. He only knew that he was hanging out with Prince Xuexing.
However, tonight, the two parties suddenly started fighting, and the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard fought against each other. You must know that many of these people are close friends with each other. They drank together yesterday, and today they
Many people are still confused after using swords and weapons.
This God-capable general has some brains. Xue Beng's words may not sound like much at first glance, and he even cares about his father very much, but in fact, it seems to put Emperor Xue Ye in a crisis.
Whether Emperor Xue Ye was under house arrest by Xue Qinghe or was fine at all, no one knew the specific situation. However, being able to come out now somewhat shows that Xue Qinghe has something to talk about.
But the meaning of Xue Beng's words is to continue to mobilize troops. If Emperor Xue Ye is really held hostage by Xue Qinghe, he may be killed directly. There are many smart people present. After thinking about it for a while, I just feel that this royal family
Really messy.
"Xue Beng, don't try to confuse the public with your nonsense."
Xue Qinghe appeared next to Emperor Xue Ye at the right time, pointed at his younger brother and shouted angrily, "Xue Beng, you beast.
I originally thought that your ridiculous behavior in the past was just a naughty character, but I didn't expect that you are a truly ambitious person. First, you secretly poisoned your father and then tricked your second uncle into rebelling. It is really an unforgivable crime."
When Xue Qinghe's words came out, there was another commotion among the tens of thousands of people present. The prince Xue Qinghe's prestige and reputation in the empire were extremely good, while the fourth prince Xue Beng was a villain who bullied men and dominated women.
Coupled with what Xue Beng said just now, it was really disgusting.
"I didn't, Xue Qinghe, you are framing me."
Xue Beng looked at the scene around him and was a little panicked, "You were obviously the one who secretly poisoned the second and third brothers. I was less than ten years old when they had the accident, and they all happened in the palace. Who else could it be besides you? 2
My uncle has been under the orders of my father to investigate for many years, and my dissolute behavior was also ordered by my father.
My second uncle and I have been investigating for many years, and we just got the evidence a few days ago that you secretly poisoned members of the royal family. Tonight, I was about to enter the palace to report to my father, but you blocked me from the palace and were surrounded by a large number of guards. These facts, uncle
Everyone can testify, it’s useless no matter how you quibble.”
