One hundred thousand elite soldiers were mobilized, the shouts of killing were loud, and the ground shook slightly.
It is difficult for people who have not seen such a situation with their own eyes to imagine the situation at this time.
Soldiers, wearing armor and holding sharp swords, flocked to the imperial tomb like a tide. The three-meter-high wall was built with wooden ladders, and they could quickly climb up the wall and jump into the imperial tomb.
The "rebels" in the imperial mausoleum seem to be one, but in fact they are vaguely divided into three factions. Each has its own leader. There are people on guard day and night. Once any abnormal situation is discovered, someone will immediately sound a whistle to warn.
A sharp whistle pierced the night sky.
The "rebel" soldiers who were sleeping soundly were actually awakened before the whistle blew. They didn't panic at first.
Within a month, such an attack was launched three times. Each time an official's corpse was thrown out, the opponent would quickly withdraw their troops and end the attack hastily.
This time the attack was launched before dawn when the people were most sleepy and weak, which was unexpected. However, our side had already discussed the countermeasures. Several people had already been placed in the Wanggao Tower located in the most prominent part of the imperial mausoleum.
Killing one of the imperial officials and throwing them out was enough to frighten the other party. They could force the imperial army back without even using a hand.
This time, it will definitely be no exception.
Therefore, the "rebels" who were awakened from their sleep were not too panicked. They moved very quickly. In a moment, they got dressed, picked up their weapons, and rushed out.
The imperial mausoleum covers an area of thousands of acres and is extremely spacious. All the late emperors of Da Qi were buried here, and there is also a large area of open space left for the descendants of the Sheng family.
Because the imperial mausoleum was extremely wide and the wall was hundreds of miles long, more than ten thousand "rebels" were unable to defend such a long front. When the elite soldiers of the imperial court poured into the wall like a tide with torches, the "rebels" were left to languish.
To resist.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the "rebels" who were guarding Wanggao Tower immediately beheaded a court official and threw the body off the tower as usual, leaving his bloody head hanging on the tower.
Several rebels shouted in unison: "Retreat immediately!"
However, the military drums on the opposite side did not stop at all, and the imperial troops continued to pour in. They came like a tide in the dark night, which was simply despairing.
There are more than 10,000 soldiers on one side, but there are 100,000 soldiers on the other side. The strength of the troops is ten times that of the rebels. The difference in military strength is huge. Moreover, these 100,000 soldiers are all elite soldiers. Once they fight, the "rebels" will become more convenient.
Defeated step by step.
Just like the day when three thousand imperial guards were ambushed and killed, their heads were harvested on one side.
In a tall building about seven or eight meters high, more than a dozen "rebels" on guard duty finally sensed that something was wrong.
"Not good! They didn't retreat at all!"
"They are going to completely capture the imperial mausoleum tonight!"
I don't know who swore a curse word: "They didn't even care about the life and death of the court officials. They are so damn cruel and ruthless! If they pissed me off, they simply pulled over those dozens of officials and killed them!"
"That's right! It's better to fight to the death..."
A man dressed in black with a scar on his face shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
The more than ten "rebels" felt a chill in their hearts, and they all stopped talking in unison. However, there was a thick cloud in their hearts. What should they do now?
Time is urgent and there is no room for hesitation.
The scar-faced man first ordered everyone to guard the tall building and then ordered others to play drums, while he quickly descended from the tall building.
…
The cry of killing and the clash of swords resounded inside and outside the imperial mausoleum. The firelight from the torches was everywhere, and it was frightening to see at a glance.
