After Soga entered the Shirojin Palace, most of the family that followed him stayed outside the palace. Although his official position was that of an internal minister, he could not treat the palace as his own backyard. If so many people followed him into the palace, I am afraid that the entire Asuka Kyoto would be affected.
I was shocked. Is this an attempt to rebel?
Although these people were not able to enter the palace, they had been warned in advance that they must pay close attention to the situation in the palace and rush into the palace as soon as they found anything wrong.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the entire palace was shrouded in rain. The Daji Hall in the distance may not even be as good as the main hall of a wealthy family in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the Japanese who have never seen the world, it is
It is majestic and majestic, even in the heavy rain, it is still full of majesty.
Not long after Su Ga entered the Lu Palace, the number of guards in the palace began to increase. Groups of guards came out from the side halls on both sides of the Suwei Palace. Some lined up on the steps in front of the Daji Palace, and some lined up in the palace.
They gathered behind the main entrance, some were running in the heavy rain, occupying various dangerous positions in the palace...
The atmosphere is depressing!
The generals who followed Su Ga into the deer immediately raised their hearts and had a premonition that the situation was not good.
There are more and more forbidden troops. If something happens in the palace, how can they break through the defense of so many forbidden troops and rush to the palace to help Su Wo enter the deer?
When someone left the team, they rushed to the Soga family's residence in the capital and informed the Soga resident here about the situation.
Soga Rise is the youngest uncle of Soga Ezo and the oldest surviving clan elder in the Soga clan. He is very popular in the Soga clan, even though he is ten years older than Soga Ezo.
, but his prestige is very high, he is strong, his eyesight is clear and his ears are not deaf, his thinking is clear and he is extremely resourceful.
After receiving a notice from Soga Ezo last night, saying that there might be changes in the palace today, Soga Rise did not stay at Amanashigaoka's mansion as Soga Ezo told him, but took the initiative to rush to the capital. Soga Ezo.
I enter the palace to enter the deer, Soga Ezo must stay at Asukaji Temple to take charge of the overall situation. Amangashigaoka is impregnable and cannot be broken, so Soga Ezo believes that he can play a better supporting role in the capital.
If the situation is unfavorable, it can also serve as a backbone for the Soga clan forces in the capital.
Soga Ezo had no choice but to agree, and sent the most elite soldiers in the family to sneak into the capital at night, carrying twenty pairs of heavy armor presented by Fang Shun...
Soga was notified that the Imperial Guards were out in force, and they immediately realized that Soga was in danger. They knew in advance that Prince Katsuragi would take action, but they did not expect that Prince Katsuragi would be able to mobilize the palace.
All the Imperial Guards within!
He made a prompt decision and ordered all the soldiers in the mansion to rush out and rush to the palace!
When Suga's soldiers arrived outside the palace gate, although they did not see the tall and tall main entrance of Daji Palace in the distance, civil and military ministers kept running out in panic, and then were detained and arrested by the imperial guards stationed in front of the gate.
I could clearly hear the panicked shouts in the heavy rain...
There is no need to guess what this means.
Suga's family generals and soldiers immediately gathered together and launched a fierce attack on the main entrance of the palace!
These people are elite warriors of the Suga clan, and their loyalty is unquestionable. They know that launching an attack on the palace at this moment means rebellion and rebellion. If they succeed in getting various rewards, if they fail, they will naturally follow the family into ashes.
Fear of death!
In comparison, the performance of the Forbidden Army was much less...
They didn't know what the mission was in advance, let alone what was going on in the Great Hall. They were sent to the main entrance of the palace, and faced with the crazy Suga soldiers, they all panicked and became a mess.
This is the most powerful family in Japan!
Now that they are actually attacking the palace, isn't this an act of rebellion?
What should everyone do?
Are you loyal to the emperor and guarding the gate to the death?
Or are you just fishing in troubled waters and doing things half-heartedly?
The great gods are fighting over each other, but no matter what the final result is, it will not be difficult for their soldiers...
The Forbidden Army was not united in will, and its morale was inevitably low. Although its number was several times that of the Soga clan soldiers, they were completely at a disadvantage when they came into contact. Fortunately, although the main entrance of the palace was not a tall and solid city wall, it had a tall gate tower and a solid
However, the palace wall occupies a favorable location, and Suga's soldiers could not attack it for a while.
Both sides lacked long-range weapons, and their crude crossbows had insufficient range and lethality. Neither side could do anything to the other side. It seemed like a lively fight, but the casualties were actually very low...
The eyes of the leader of the Soga Clan are red. Every moment of delay here means that the danger of Soga entering the deer increases. If Suga enters the deer and is killed, the entire Soga clan will fall into irreversible disaster.
abyss!
Under the cover of the nest, are there any eggs?
Even for myself, this palace gate must be breached!
The leader waved his weapon, killing several soldiers who were disadvantaged in attacking, and shouted repeatedly. However, lacking long-range weapons and engineering equipment, he was still helpless in the face of the numerically superior Imperial Army.
"Chief, someone from home is here!"
A small group of people hurriedly came from a distance through the rain. One person found the leader and said, "The master of the house has arranged a surprise army and a way to break the door!"
The leader hurriedly asked: "How to break the door?"
The man said: "Just leave it to them..."
Then he turned around and said a few words in Chinese to the man wearing a bamboo hat behind him.
The leader did not understand Chinese. After hearing this, the few men nodded slightly and called over some soldiers wearing heavy armor. He ordered two soldiers to take off their armor, and then two of them put it on and hugged them.
Holding a box wrapped in oilcloth, he lowered his head and rushed toward the palace gate...
The leader looked puzzled and thought that although this heavy armor was a deadly weapon on the battlefield, what was the use of storming the city gate?
Then he saw the two people running directly under the wall in front of the palace gate. Regardless of the arrows shot from above, they were nailed to the armor and made a loud crackling sound. He opened the box, blew out a fire stick, and ignited the contents of the box.
something, then covered it with tarpaulin, probably to prevent it from getting wet by the rain, and then ran back...
Just when everyone was puzzled, first a puff of black smoke rose from the box, and then there was an earth-shattering sound, and the tall gate tower collapsed instantly and fell into pieces!
Everyone was dumbfounded, what is this?
Fortunately, the leader of the Soga clan reacted quickly and immediately shouted: "Attack, attack! Rush in, rush in!"
The eighteen soldiers wearing heavy armor took the lead and ran towards the palace gate!
Although the armor is heavy, these soldiers move steadily, like a black spear piercing the cheese, unstoppable!
The Imperial Guards were frightened out of their wits by this earth-shattering noise. They didn't understand why the tall gatehouse collapsed in an instant. When they saw these soldiers in black armor armed to the teeth, they didn't know who it was that shouted, and the formation suddenly collapsed.
Wolf rushes like a pig.
The generals of the Forbidden Army quickly restrained the troops, but the morale of the troops was temporarily weakened. How could they restrain them?
He could only command his confidants and stand bravely at the place where the gate tower collapsed, trying to stop Suga's soldiers from entering the palace.
However, he soon discovered that he couldn't stop it at all...
These soldiers wearing black armor did not dodge at all. They turned a blind eye to the oncoming swords and spears and just rushed forward! Various weapons struck their bodies with dull sounds, and they could not hurt at all.
The soldiers were wielding sharp swords in their hands. Every time the sword was struck, the Imperial Guards howled and fell to the ground. Even the generals would be cut through their armors, their weapons would be cut off, and they would be beheaded like dolphins or dogs.
kill!
Is this a demon god emerging from hell?
The generals of the Forbidden Army are all terrified. How can we fight this battle?
It's not that they don't work hard, it's just that they can't beat...
Led by the heavy armor, the Suga soldiers broke through the defense in front of the palace gate and rushed straight to the Great Hall. Along the way, groups of forbidden troops were organized to besiege them. However, facing the eighteen heavy armors,
No matter how many people there are, they will only be killed!
The Japanese in this era were far from being brainwashed by "Bushido". They did not have the behavior of not taking their own lives seriously and cutting their own stomachs at every turn. Moreover, due to their backward culture, the quality of soldiers was low and their combat effectiveness was very poor. Military laws and regulations were even more severe.
They were in name only, just bullying the mob of "Three Koreas". Faced with such heavy armor that could not be shot to death, cut down, or defeated, their morale suddenly collapsed and they were completely out of control...
A mere eighteen people can kill and march in without hesitation!
Along the road from the palace gate to the Great Hall, there were rivers of blood all over the body parts. The sprayed blood was diluted by the heavy rain in an instant, and the color became lighter and flowed freely across the river!
The square in front of the Great Hall has become a Shura field.
