"Commandant Zhang! This king is under the Retired Emperor's orders and has the Dragon Tiger Token in hand. Why didn't you open the palace gates? If you delay the Retired Emperor's great matter, this king will take all of your heads!”
Li Yuanchang's roar made Commandant Zhang's expression become more listless. According to the rules of the Imperial Palace, Li Yuanchang had the Dragon Tiger Token, so he had to open the palace gates.
But…
"Open!"
Then, the guard beside him knocked on the door drum three times.
After planning for so many days, he finally succeeded tonight!
"Hahaha, this is your reward!"
Although the palace gates were spacious, Li Yuan Chang walked very slowly. The hundred people and carriages in front had already entered the palace, while the hundred people behind were still waiting outside the palace gates.
Entering the palace late at night had disturbed the guards on duty. Li Yuanchang naturally rewarded them again. A dozen servants carried a wooden tray with a large piece of gold on it as they walked towards the guards.
The people outside the palace also took out gold and silver and handed them to Commandant Zhang and his guards.
Commandant Zhang refused the gold and silver offered by the servant. He looked at Li Yuanchang's disappearing figure and prayed in his heart.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle rang out, and the servants and Golden Guards drew their daggers at the same time and stabbed at the guards beside them.
"Close the palace doors! The King of Han rebelled!"
In the Vermilion Bird Gate, hundreds of internal guards were also caught off guard by this unexpected attack. The leader of the internal guards could only shout at the inner palace as he ran towards the inner palace as fast as possible.
He knew that he was dead, but before he died, he had to pass this news to the inner palace.
"Swoosh!"
In Li Yuanchang's team, a burly man held a five crossbow in his hand. He loosened his right hand, and a long black feather arrow pierced through his chest. With a spray of blood, it stabbed into the ground a few meters in front of him.
"The Han King has succeeded. Zhao Jie, follow me into the Imperial Palace!”
The Imperial Army commandant poked his head out and saw a black feather arrow flying towards him.
After narrowly dodging the black feather arrow, the commandant drew his saber and cut off the rope of the inner palace gate.
"The three of you, one of you will report to the Emperor, one of you will find the leader for help, and the other will immediately inform the steward of the harem!”
The three people who had been pointed out did not have time to bow. They only responded and rushed into the darkness.
After ordering someone to report for help, the commandant felt a little relieved. He turned around and looked at his hundreds of brothers behind him. The commandant raised his sword high.
"Tonight, we will sacrifice our lives to repay the emperor! Tell me, are you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid!"
Hundreds of soldiers shouted in unison.
"Good! I will guard the palace gates with you!”
"Guard the palace gates to the death!"
Hundreds of sharp swords were unsheathed, glinting with a chilling light. Hundreds of pairs of bloodshot eyes stared at Li Yuanchang and his soldiers below the palace gates.
"You guys, heh…"
Li Yuan Chang laughed coldly and waved his right hand.
Strong bows and crossbows were placed on the carriages on both sides. They were quickly taken away by the prefecture soldiers and immediately shot at the internal guards on the palace gate.
A door hammer was tied to the carriage in the middle. At this moment, the black cloth was lifted, and the sharp tip of the hammer was actually made of refined iron.
There were also a few other carriages with black fire oil, small catapults, bamboo ladders, and other siege equipment. At this moment, they had been quickly assembled by the prefecture soldiers.
"Attack! You have fifteen minutes to take down this door!”
Li Yuanchang was determined to win, he pointed at the inner sect and roared.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Hou Junji had already led three thousand Prefecture Soldiers into the Vermilion Bird Gate, and Zhao Jie had taken over the security of the gate. After locking the gate shut, he left five hundred men to guard it while the rest of his men quickly joined up with Li Yuanchang.
With only longswords and short bows, a hundred or so people were simply unable to contend with the enemy who had siege weapons and were several times their number.
In less than 15 minutes, Li Yuanchang broke through the inner palace gates and the army charged into the inner palace.
"What's going on? Where are the reinforcements? Has the Emperor received the news? Has the news reached the inner palace?"
Before he died, the loyal commandant was still talking about the three soldiers who had sent messages late at night, hoping that they had already spread the news to all places.
Please give me something. If you have it, please give me something. If you don't, I won't force you. Thank you, readers…
