Chapter 528 Front and Back Attack
Hundreds of brocade guard flag schools are blocked by the gate of the royal palace. Facing the dense arrows on both sides of the gate and corner towers, they can't enter. Without shields, armor and other things, they can't enter the gate within 50 or 60 steps. They can only stare around the gate far away.
Hou Dabiao gritted his teeth and scolded angrily. When there was nothing he could do, the flag school on alert on the periphery came to report that there were a large number of unidentified people around him. Hou Dabiao was shocked. Lord Song and Wang Yong had just left here, and this place was given full authority under his command. Is it going to be subjected to the guardians of the royal palace? Can't the anti-encirclement work?
However, a moment later, the false alarm became a surprise. In the light of the torch, thousands of ragged people appeared from both ends of the street. They carried baskets to carry water, bread, eggs and other things. It turned out that they were coming to the army.
The people have a scale in their hearts. Maybe they can't stop the rebellion of King Anhua or stop the King of Anhua from forcing the men in their family to go to the West Cliff to die, but silence does not mean that there is no position, but just need an opportunity.
When they learned that the officers and soldiers of the Jinyiwei and some guards in the city rebelled, many people sprouted the idea of helping. The so-called people's hearts are usually invisible and untouchable, but at critical times, they can make you really feel that those who ignore these will never know the horrors of the people's hearts. They are spontaneous. And it comes from the heart.
"Master, why didn't you attack and catch the old thief?" An old man asked with concern after watching Hou Dabiao drink a bowl of tea.
Hou Dabiao said awkwardly, "My father-in-law, you have also seen that the bow and arrow shot like a flying locust. My people have been killed and injured twice. Such an attack is to death. Don't worry, my father-in-law, we are trying to figure out a way to attack it. Anhua Wang, an old thief, will definitely not run away this time."
The father-in-law said, "Master, if you need anything, just say something. If you want me to use this old bone as an arrow shield for you. If you want something, we can smash the pot and sell iron."
Hou Dabiao said hurriedly, "It's a matter for us to fight as a soldier. How can we let the people die? But if my father-in-law can help us get some wooden ladders to help climb the wall, or some arrows to cover the arrows, it will be very beneficial to the royal palace."
The father-in-law raised his fist and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" Isn't that easy? Do you have a wooden ladder at home? Is there anything to block the arrow? Is the door panel?
Hou Dabiao said with great joy: "Yes, success, the door panel is the nemesis of feather arrows."
The father-in-law turned his head and shouted, "Gentlemen, everyone immediately went home to carry the wooden ladder and unloaded the door panel to help the soldiers attack the palace and catch the rebels. Don't move faster, lest the rebels outside the city turn back into trouble."
The people shouted and went home one after another, carrying the door ladder and waiting for them. Suddenly, the open space was piled up into a hill. Hou Dabiao ordered people to cut down several buckets of thick locust trees near the left. After taking away the branches and leaves, their heads were sharpened to make a collision with the door; more than a dozen strong brocade guards carried the door panels and rushed to the door of the royal palace.
The arrows on the wall shot like drifting heavy rain. After a while, the door panel was full of densely nailed feather arrows, but the flag school bent down was safe and sound. They carried the wood and went up the steps, and hit the heavy door of the palace, and the sound of the banging impact resounded through the night sky.
Song Nan knew that the inner wall in the north was the most difficult place to break through, but Song Nan still chose to break through from here. First, it is far from the front door, and once the guards are fought, they can't be able to dispatch support in time. Second, because the internal wall is closely fortified, the manpower is not needed. Many, this is the key to doing the opposite. The more difficult the breakthrough the attack is, the more people will be caught off guard.
Dozens of long rope hooked the head of the outer wall. A group of people climbed up the outer wall like monkeys and looked into the palace. It could be seen that the whole palace was as bright as the day, and there were panicked and running figures everywhere. There seemed to be noise and crying from afar, and the palace was in chaos.
The fire at the front door was eye-catching, and Song Nan nodded secretly. It seemed that Hou Dabiao began to set fire to the door in order to cause great pressure. Song Nan knew that it would take a lot of time to open the door with fire, and the next hand-to-hand combat may not be won. The longer it took, the more unfavorable it was, but the momentum caused the momentum. It's very scary. It's very beneficial for you to attract most of the royal guards to go to the front door to resist the enemy.
The inner wall dozens of steps away is also brightly lit, and there are wind lights high every few feet. The guards at the wall are busy coming and going, carrying a bag of supplies down. Song Nan knows that this is transporting bows, arrows, fire, oil and other materials to the gate to defend the enemy.
The good news is that I was worried that they would be found as soon as they entered the outer wall. Now it seems that these people are so noisy that they have not noticed dozens of people watching them on the outer wall dozens of steps away; the bad news is that there are a large number of people on the inner wall. At first glance, at least four or 500 people are busy on the other side of the inner wall. I don't know how many people there are.
In any case, you can't always lie on the wall full of thorny porcelain pieces. Looking for an opportunity, everyone slipped down the wall smoothly. Song Nan slowly moved west along the shadow in the corner of the wall. When she found that there was no one above the inner wall, the supplies that wanted to come here had been emptied, and the guards on both sides were still counting. Ten steps away, Song Nan decisively ordered to rush through the middle open space and came to the root of the inner wall without danger.
Wang Yong whispered in Song Nan's ear and asked, "Your Excellency, it seems that there are a lot of people at the head of the inner wall, and it will be quite shocking when there is a fight, and there is little chance of winning."
Song Nan whispered, "We are wearing the clothes of the royal guard and can pretend. You can climb up and have a look. If you are noticed, you can cover for us."
Wang Yong nodded, tightened his waist, listened for a while, and made sure that there were only people in the distance on both sides. So he threw ropes and hooked the wall and climbed up in three or two steps. As soon as he leaned out his head and looked left and right, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. A guard leader was climbing the inner wall along the stone steps, and the two sides were stunned.
The guard leader reacted and was about to open his mouth and shout. Wang Yong stretched out his hand with the power of the rope. His body flew in mid-air like a big bird, and a cold light flashed in his hand. A dagger flew out of his hand and pierced into the guard's mouth. He abruptly pinched the shout in half. When he landed, his arm grabbed the guard's head and neck and twisted it violently. The guard's head and neck were broken and collapsed softly on the side of the stone steps.
But this short shout still attracted dozens of busy moving guards dozens of steps away. One shouted loudly, "What's wrong?"
Wang Yong said, "He seems to have been bitten by a snake."
"Snake? Where did the snake come from in the ice and snow? Have you drunk too much? The man was puzzled.
Wang Yong secretly scolded himself for not being anxious enough and hurriedly said, "Maybe it's not a snake. Maybe it's a brick scratched. In short, his hand is bleeding."
The man shouted, "Brother, be content. If you have a little bruise, you will shout. The front is incomprehensive. In a moment, we are all going to eat knives and keep our strength to cry later."
Wang Yong, oh, two times, a group of guards in the distance turned their heads to ignore him and were busy carrying supplies. Wang Yong was relieved and learned two cat calls under the wall. After a moment, dozens of ropes were thrown up silently, and a head emerged together.
