Liu Shimin was fully prepared, with several times the manpower of his opponent, and he killed the greedy military officers first. The enemy had no weapons, but no one to command the armor, so the situation turned out to be a stalemate.
Hui Shiyang hurried over and shouted into the hall: "Where are our people!? Why don't you cooperate quickly!"
There were some people in the palace who had not taken action yet, and a few of them suddenly stared at Liu Shimin, who was taking the lead.
"Poof!"
Liu Shimin stabbed the eunuch on duty in the inner study hall with a sword.
"Poof!"
Another eunuch who did not resist the rebels but stared at him was stabbed with another sword.
"These two thieves are the traitors! Others who dare not resist must be careful and follow in their footsteps!"
He had already noticed that some of the arrested people were not panicked at all, and they were the same people who had been secretly monitoring him and the prince before.
So what if they are Wang An’s people?
Wang An’s people, that means Wang An wants to rebel!
I have been locked up here since yesterday, but I still rely on limited information to deduce the truth.
Liu Shimin persuaded the loyal and responsible people in the palace to plan this counter-murder and resistance with him.
"We must rush out! Tell His Majesty! Tell Prince Wang An to rebel!"
"Ho ho!"
The eunuchs screamed and howled. Those who did not dare to resist before were intimidated by Liu Shimin's momentum and determination, and they also howled and resisted.
The main force of the rebels in the palace went to the Meridian Gate. Hui Shiyang stayed with fifty people. The military officials were killed first, but they could not withstand the attack of the palace people.
"Retreat to the gate downstairs and light a fire directly!"
Hui Shiyang was also a ruthless man. Regardless of whether his own men were still fighting at the gatehouse, he rushed down with his men and set fire to the firewood and cloth piled on the stairs.
Burn the rebellious palace servants to death with a fire.
The fire ignited instantly. The fire blocked the stairs of the city gate, and the escape route was blocked by the flames and heat waves.
Even if the palace people had more than twenty weapons, they would not be able to cut open the firewood and rush out.
The rebels were frightened at first, but when they saw how big the fire was, they laughed, laughing at the palace people who would die if they resisted, so why fight in vain.
The fire was almost reaching the gatehouse, and the smoke was so thick that it was almost impossible to open your eyes.
Liu Shimin's eyes were filled with tears from the smoke, and the heat wave of the flames made his face hot, but he still stood on the Huangji Gate with his head held high, shouting a warning to the north: "Wang An is treason! Wang An is treason!"
Maybe if you hide in the gatehouse, you can suffer less.
But he adhered to his mission and loudly warned everyone.
Maybe he will die, maybe his majesty and the prince will not hear it.
However, there are loyal ministers among eunuchs.
Wang An has a crooked butt and rebels. Not all eunuchs are like him.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince! My slave Liu Shimin has learned so much that he cannot continue to serve the Ming Dynasty, but I hope he will definitely capture the traitor Wang An!"
Liu Shimin's momentum shocked the enemies of Huangji's sect, and they were so shocked that they temporarily forgot to shoot to stop him.
But there was no way to kill him. The bows and arrows he had hidden earlier were all taken to the Meridian Gate for defense.
Wang An and Luo Sigong happened to lead their troops back from the Meridian Gate.
When I heard Liu Shimin shouting at Huangji Gate, I was shocked at first, but then I wanted to shoot him.
Wei Chao and Han Xu looked at each other. They saw that Liu Shimin was loyal and conscientious in his duties. He was shouting a warning. However, they had no soldiers and had to pretend to be around Wang An, so they could not save anyone for a while.
"No attack!"
"Non-attack!!!"
Suddenly one person shouted loudly, and hundreds of voices followed him in unison.
"Praise and slay!"
"Praise!!!"
The voice was as upright as thunder, and even though there were only a hundred people, their uniformity and momentum were unstoppable.
Wang An, Luo Sigong, and Hui Shiyang hurriedly looked to the east, and saw pieces of black armor, shining brightly under the firelight. Hundreds of people were arranged in a square formation, with ten people horizontally and vertically. Everyone's steps were exactly the same. p>
One hundred royal guards?!
Those royal guards in the East Palace!
Although these armors are the style of the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty, they are uniformly painted in black, and the helmets, breastplates, and arm armors are specially polished.
The front rows are also equipped with round black polished iron shields. They don't look like Jin Yiwei, but they are much more powerful than Tengxiang Siwei.
"What is that!?"
Someone among the rebels exclaimed, pointing to a person in front of the queue with an extremely exaggerated armor.
I saw that he was wearing a double layer of black armor, almost like an iron lump. He was wearing a huge iron helmet, and only two eyes seemed to glow red, proving that this was a person and not a statue with a large iron head and heavy armor.
The man took off his iron helmet, revealing a handsome and capable face. It was none other than Prince Zhu Youxiao!
The infantrymen with magnetic arms are coming...but there is no lightning today, so the infantrymen in explosion-proof suits are coming!
The person in the middle of the first row of the square array is none other than Liu Qiao, a member of the Imperial Guard.
Luo Sigong, relying on his higher rank than Liu Qiao, said first: "Zheng Yangxing's rebels are about to occupy the Meridian Gate. These people in the Huangji Gate colluded with Zheng Yangxing. They deserve to be burned to death for treason!"
The evildoer complains first?
Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at him, he just glanced at Wang An, then at Hui Shiyang, whom he had never seen before, and then looked at Liu Shimin, who was gradually enveloped in smoke.
When Liu Shimin saw Zhu Youxiao, he shouted: "Your Royal Highness! Wang An, Luo Sigong and Yan Guan Hui Shiyang are plotting rebellion. Don't worry about me. Let's kill the thieves first!"
Hui Shiyang... Donglin can send people to sneak into the palace, but he dares to harm the people I want to use!
Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An. Behind Luo Sigong, there were at least six or seven hundred people. Although they had just withdrawn from the Meridian Gate, their weapons and armors were all there, so they were not easy to deal with.
My people are directly east of Huangji Gate.
Wang An's troops are to the south of Huangji Gate, and dozens of Hui Shiyang's troops are under the gate.
There are many enemies and they can attack from a flank.
So what?
Zhu Youxiao buckled his iron helmet and said: "Liu Tongzhi covers our palace to rescue people! The other soldiers intercept and kill the thieves!"
"Yes!"
Then he walked towards the Huangji Gate step by step with super heavy steps. The double layer of iron armor and cotton armor made him walk slowly, but Zhu Youxiao was tall and his outfit was even more impressive. He just walked forward.
Go, as unstoppable as a rhinoceros.
Wang An also tore off his disguise: "Your Majesty is dead! The prince participated in the murder! Take it down!"
Luo Sigong took the lead and roared angrily, then rushed up with his confidants.
"Keep!"
The black-armored guards shouted together, and the shields in the front row actually formed a shield wall. The defensive skills of the Mohist family were the first lesson for the Mohist guards.
Luo Sigong and others were all imperial guards, not field elites. At this time, they were blocked by the shield wall and could not rush forward. Some people wielded Xiuchun knives to chop at the iron shield, and some used crossbows to look for opportunities to shoot.
Where useful.
"Execute!"
Another roar.
The row behind the iron shield suddenly threw out rows of wooden-handled tubes that were burning with sparks.
It hurt a lot when it hit someone, but no one was killed.
"What a piece of shit, it doesn't hurt or itch!"
"It's really ridiculous!"
The thief laughed loudly, but Luo Sigong's pupils shrank, and he immediately squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, shouting to be careful.
