Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 666: Unrest (2)
The city gate is broken, and the Marquis of Guangping will soon lead his troops to the outside of the palace gate.
What should I do now?
Everyone's faces were solemn and panicked, like boulders reaching the top.
Lu Mingyu suppressed the overwhelming anger in his heart and said coldly: "Don't panic! Even if the Marquis of Guangping leads the troops into the city gate, they will be stopped by General Liang halfway through."
The Ministry of War Yang Shangshu frowned and said in a low voice, "General Liang has brought 40,000 imperial troops, and the Meng family's army has a total of 80,000, and most of them are veterans who have experienced battles. I don't know how long General Liang can resist and whether he can hold out until reinforcements arrive. !”
The Royal Forest Army is also an elite soldier, but they usually stay in the capital to guard the palace. Less than 30% of the people who actually fought and killed people. And the number is far less than the Meng family army.
The two armies fight against each other, and the one who loses must be the Royal Forest Army. Now I can only hope that Liang Dalang can resist for a while and a half, until King Xingyang leads his troops to come to the rescue.
Lu Mingyu exhaled a turbid breath, and her voice returned to calm: "No matter what, the palace gate will be dispatched immediately. Come on, pass my order, order Colonel Liang to order troops immediately. I will personally go to the palace gate to guard! "
As soon as she finished speaking, Queen Qiao grabbed her hand: "Mingyu! I can't go!"
Queen Qiao blurted out, in a hurry, she could not speak politely: "Meng Hui, this man is cruel and ruthless. The emperor is dead, and no one can hold him down. , approaching the palace. You must not fight him head-on!"
Lu Mingyu held Queen Qiao's hand with her backhand and gently comforted her, "Don't panic, Empress. King Xingyang will soon lead troops for reinforcements, as long as you block the Marquis of Guangping for a while! General Liang's ability, Empress Mother. It should be trusted. I led the troops to the palace gate just in case."
In the event that the Marquis of Guangping really led the troops to the outside of the palace gate, she would be able to defend the palace gate if she was there.
If even the imperial palace was breached, and the dignity of the Great Wei royal family disappeared, wouldn't anyone dare to covet this throne? Therefore, there must be someone guarding the palace gate.
Of course Queen Qiao will not understand the truth of this.
There are four princes outside the palace, but now, how dare the fourth prince enter the palace.
Right now, Lu Mingyu is the most suitable candidate.
Queen Qiao's nose was sore, her eyes were red, she slowly let go, and whispered, "I'm so sorry for you."
Lu Mingyu, the crown princess, has not had a few days before her birthday. First, there was a night raid on the Yan army's barracks, and then a thousand miles to go to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion to fight.
Lu Mingyu had no time to say: "Now is not the time to talk about this. The queen mother and all the adults are staying here. If there is any change, send a letter to Donghuamen immediately."
After speaking, he hurried out of the Wenhua Hall.
Queen Qiao wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves and raised her head again, calmly saying, "Now is the most difficult time, if you get through it, you will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moonlight. My lords, stay here with Ben Gong. Wenhua Hall."
This is probably a matter of relying on others and relying on others. As soon as Lu Mingyu left, Queen Qiao was visibly stronger.
Elder Qiao Ge sighed in his heart, and was the first to say: "Old minister respectfully obeys the imperial edict."
……
20,000 imperial guards, 1,000 guarded in the Wenhua Hall, and about 2,000 guarded outside the palaces of the harem. Those who can be mobilized are 17,000 people.
There are four gates in the palace, each of which must be guarded. In this way, the manpower is scattered, which is not much.
"Prince Concubine," Liang Erlang's heart was anxious, and his words trembled slightly: "The people in the Wenhua Palace will not move, and the staff of the rest of the palaces should be transferred back!"
Lu Mingyu said, "No need. First stop the inside and then the outside! If there is another turmoil in the palace, it will be a complete chaos."
The Marquis of Guangping was in chaos outside, and Concubine Meng in the harem had to watch closely.
Liang Erlang had to answer.
Lu Mingyu said quickly: "Four thousand people are sent to each of the four palace gates. There are still five thousand people left to support. I will go to Donghua Gate now."
Donghua Gate is the largest palace gate and the closest to the Imperial Street. If she was replaced by the Marquis of Guangping, who led the troops to attack the palace, she would definitely choose the nearest Donghua Gate.
Liang Erlang responded one by one.
Lu Mingyu didn't ask about the deployment of troops, and left it all to Liang Erlang. The letter was so heavy that Liang Erlang was so moved by his blood that he ordered soldiers with a hoarse voice.
Besides Lu Mingyu, there are the prince concubine's personal soldiers who are loyal to her.
The personal soldiers followed the master, and one of them couldn't help but sighed: "I knew that there were such shocking changes in the palace, I should have let all the personal soldiers enter the palace."
When Lu Mingyu returned to Beijing that day, he brought 2,000 personal soldiers back to Beijing. Only this hundred people entered the palace. The rest went back to the Grange.
If they were brought into the palace, there would be more people who could use them.
What's the use of saying that now.
Lu Mingyu didn't say much, and walked all the way to the outside of Donghua Gate. Not long after, the 4,000 Imperial Forest Army came hurriedly. Liang Erlang personally brought people over.
Lu Mingyu's eyes swept away. The kingsmen soldiers had long knives on their waists, and half of them had bows and arrows on their backs ~IndoMTL.com~ With an order, the kings forest guards with bows and arrows gathered in front. Those with long knives spread out on guard. With the whistle as an order, when the whistle sounded, they all gathered in one place.
Liang Erlang couldn't help but leaned forward and asked Lu Mingyu in a low voice: "Miss, the last general and brother led 40,000 people. I wonder if they can resist the 80,000 elite soldiers of the Marquis of Guangping."
For some reason, his heart was beating fast, up and down, uneasy.
Lu Mingyu glanced at Liang Erlang and said nothing of comfort: "I don't know how long he can hold back."
If General Liang was still there, he would definitely be able to resist the Marquis of Guangping.
It's hard to say how long it will last for Liang Dalang.
Liang Erlang took a deep breath and clenched the long knife in his hand.
Suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the palace gate. The expressions of the guards in the imperial forest were condensed, Liang Erlang's scalp tightened, and he roared loudly: "There is an enemy attacking..."
"Don't be nervous." Lu Mingyu frowned and interrupted Liang Erlang: "Listen to the footsteps, there are at most four or five hundred people. It's not the Marquis of Guangping!"
Liang Erlang listened carefully, and it was true.
The movement outside the palace gate is definitely not an attack from an army.
The guards of the Kings Forest, who were cautious and tense, also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Open the door!"
The sound passed through the thick palace gate, and it was a little unreal when it entered my ears. However, Lu Mingyu immediately heard who it was.
Fourth Prince Li Xian!
The guards guarding the palace gate whispered: "Niangniang, the Fourth Highness is here for the third time today."
He came back just after dawn and was blocked back.
Before noon, I heard that the Marquis of Guangping was approaching outside the city and was about to enter the palace again, but was still blocked.
Now that the Marquis of Guangping has led the troops into the city, the fourth prince could not hold back any longer, and brought all his personal soldiers: "Hurry up and open the door! I want to see the emperor!"
