Not only Liu Yubao, but also Lin Ping and others who came in later, everyone who could understand Chinese was shocked.
"What does that person mean? Why did you say you've been waiting for a long time? Did you know we were coming?" Ruyao asked in shock: "He calls himself the king, is he the emperor's son?"
"Yes, that's King Yan." Lin Ping said with difficulty. Although his face was covered with rain, his throat was extremely dry.
His Majesty the King of Yan's illustrious or terrible reputation has long been known to the world.
Who doesn't know the glorious deeds of His Highness who went to the meeting to seduce Chongming alone? Who hasn't heard of the terrible legend of the Xiangjiang River that His Highness killed in Jiangxi?
What's even worse is that he shouldn't be here right now, he should be in Nanjing City!
The fact that he appeared here with his army ready to prepare is self-evident...
Feeling the fear of the rebels on the opposite side, Zhu Di continued to undermine their morale and sneered repeatedly:
"Your quality is worrisome. No matter how heavy the rain is, you should have arrived half an hour ago. I actually made you wait for half an hour longer. If this were my army, they would have all been driven home to farm."
"Why are you still standing there, coming to attack? You will be made dumplings when the sun comes up."
At this time, all the rebels on the opposite side finally entered the square in front of the palace. Their composition was so complicated, and there was no queue to speak of. They were just a chaotic group, looking at each other. The people behind them didn't know what the people in front were doing, and why didn't they stop?
Take action?
"It's over..." Liu Yubao secretly sighed. Their miscellaneous army came here just for a sneak attack. Only by attacking them unprepared can they have a chance of winning.
Now the Ming army was obviously well prepared, and their fate was doomed.
But for things like rebellion, surrender is meaningless, not to mention that the other party has no intention of surrendering.
"Come on, the dead eggs will fall into the sky!" Liu Yubao held his own spear with both hands, shouted loudly, and rushed forward!
"Go! Kill one and you'll be rewarded. Kill a pair and you'll gain!" Lin Ping also led his men and launched a charge.
"The Emperor is on board!" Ruyao also waved her fan and commanded five hundred Japanese samurai, holding up sharp long swords and charging with the same unwillingness to lag behind. She was just a little behind because of her short legs.
The troops who came through the troubled times have seen too many deaths. No matter where they belong, they all have a great disregard for life, including their own lives.
The two sides quickly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and a fierce battle broke out instantly. The sound of gold and iron clashing, the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh, and screams resounded throughout the entire Hot Spring Palace.
Blood flowers bloomed one after another, and the blood soon dyed the rainwater on the ground red. Amid the sounds of fighting, living creatures fell to the ground one by one, and the death toll reached hundreds in the blink of an eye.
But what makes Ruyao desperate is that these one hundred people are all rebels...
He thought that the warriors he brought would always be able to fight a bloody path for the rebels with their strong martial arts and sharp samurai swords. But he did not expect that those burly Ming soldiers were all extremely powerful, even if they were covered in iron armor and wielded
The shield is still flexible.
They waved huge shields and blocked all the attacks of the Japanese samurai.
There was a clang, clang, fire, and the samurai sword had its blade cut off... but it was unable to shake the Ming army's defense line at all.
The Ming army in the back row held a long spear with both hands. They saw the right moment and poked it out from the gap in the shield. Each shot could penetrate the head or chest of a Japanese pirate.
Some can even penetrate two or three of them like candied haws with one shot.
It was a completely one-sided massacre...
"It shouldn't be like this?!" Ruyao was shocked. She didn't know why such a luxurious lineup was still vulnerable.
In Japan, these five hundred samurai could easily defeat an army of five thousand, but why didn't it work in the Ming Dynasty?
Little did he know that the government officers and soldiers on the opposite side were all elite soldiers carefully selected from the Ming army. In terms of grade, they were much higher than them.
Moreover, they were wearing armor and forming a formation, waiting for work. Against these embarrassed troops who had to walk over mountains and ridges in the rain for most of the night without even a leaf of armor on their bodies, it was strange that they could not achieve this result.
~~
In just one cup of tea, the death toll of the rebels exceeded 500. Dead bodies were already piled under the platform, making it difficult for those behind to push forward.
And they no longer have the courage to charge forward. Not being afraid of death does not mean that they are willing to die in vain. Seeing that so many lives are piled on them and they cannot shake the enemy formation, no one wants to continue charging...
I don’t know who was the leader, but some people dropped their weapons first and ran away. Then the rest of the rebels, regardless of their affiliation or nationality, followed suit and ran out.
Liu Yubao and Lin Ping had no choice but to flee together. The rebels who surrounded the palace fled without a trace in the blink of an eye, like boiling soup and throwing snow.
"Sigh, it's boring." His Royal Highness, King Yan, didn't even bother to cut him, and the enemy ran away. His men were all heavy infantry, so they couldn't pursue him. This made him very boring.
"If I had known this, I wouldn't have rushed over here, and even made my father scold him like crazy..."
"It's okay, the emperor can understand the filial piety of the prince." Qiu Fu on the side smiled and comforted him: "Besides, none of the rebels can escape. After catching them, there is still room for the prince to use them."
"That's true." King Yan's expression brightened slightly now. His current job was to be a spy, and leading troops to fight was only a part-time job.
~~
Qiu Fu was right, none of the rebels could escape.
When they attacked the palace, the three guardsmen who were ambushing everywhere had already formed their formations, blocking all their retreat routes.
All that's left is to catch the turtle in the jar and beat the dog behind closed doors...
Because it was dark and rainy, the Ming army was not in a hurry to close the net. They only firmly guarded the routes and moved forward little by little. With the absolute initiative in hand, reducing losses became a priority.
Under the protection of Japanese samurai, Ruyao was beaten back after breaking out several times, and was driven back to the palace again. He finally realized that there was no way to escape.
And His Highness the King of Yan also led the heavy armored infantry out of the palace and reorganized behind them.
More than two thousand rebels were driven and squeezed into a group, then divided and surrounded. They had no choice but to kneel down and surrender, leaving their fate to their fate.
At this time, Ruyao saw Liu Yubao, who was also beaten back, in the dense crowd, grabbed him, and asked in a loud voice: "Why is it different from what was promised? You are being toyed with by others.
Palm!"
"How do I know?" Liu Yubao also said with evil anger: "Ask Hu Weiyong! He has been planning for a long time, but what a waste of planning!"
After saying that, he pulled out the last dagger and stabbed it in the pit of his heart. Hot blood spurted out and splashed all over Ruyao's face.
A former high-ranking general like Liu Yubao knows all too well the consequences of treason. If he doesn't commit suicide, his identity will be found out, and the nine tribes will be wiped out...
"Alas..." This reminded Lin Ping, and he was about to kill himself with a knife. But the knife was scratched on his neck for a long time, but it couldn't be scratched. Until the people around him reacted, took the knife away from him, and then held it tightly.
.
"If you are really loyal, kill me!" Lin Ping shouted loudly.
"Bah, you have caused us so much misery, yet you still need to be loyal?" His subordinates spat at him harshly: "If I kill you, who will forgive us?"
