Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 849

Just when Zhang Xiong sent troops to find Lang Zhong, Yuexi's army had already surrounded the palace.

As for the 2 defenders that Liu An stayed in the city, 1 of them also mentioned guarding the palace in the palace. In addition to the more than 5000 defenders in the palace, there are less than [-] guarding the palace. There are dozens of doors, large and small.

Yuexi ordered several rounds of charges, but failed to break through the city gate.

In desperation, Yue Xi could only send someone to shout to them to give up surrender, but the defenders in the palace were all Liu An's confidantes, and what Yue Xi shouted to them was like wind in their ears, and they ignored them at all.

"Damn, if you enter the capital, you won't be able to break through the imperial palace. It's no different from not entering!"

Yue Xi cursed in a low voice.

"Father, why don't I organize people to charge again!"

Yue Peng asked.

"It's useless, the walls of the imperial palace are taller and stronger than those of the capital, and it's impossible to rush in!"

Yue Xi looked at the defenders on the city wall, and there was nothing he could do.

"Father, let's surround the palace tightly and prevent them from entering or leaving. They will run out of food in less than ten days, and the palace will be destroyed by then!"

"That's even worse. The family members of many ministers in the court are in the palace, as are His Majesty's concubines. If they take these people as hostages, can we still fight them hard?"

Yue Xi smiled wryly and said: "If something happens to the hostages, let them go and let them go, those ministers will hate me to death. Can I still have a foothold in the court? We must take down the palace before they realize it. Once they realize it, it will be even more difficult to attack the palace with their family members as hostages!"

Yue Xi tugged at his half-white beard and sat on the horse worrying.

"Father, General Zhao and the others are here!"

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Zhao Yun and others came to Yuexi.

Zhao Yun and the others greeted Yue Xi immediately.Yuexi also returned the salute to several colleagues one by one.

After saluting, Yue Xi was still frowning, looking at the city wall of the palace, worrying.

Zhao Yun saw Yue Xi's depression, and asked, "General Yue's brows are furrowed, are you worried?"

"Hey, Brother Zilong, the walls of this imperial palace are so tall that it is really difficult to break through!"

Yuexi replied.

"Hehe, General Yue don't have to worry. I forgot to tell you earlier that Huang Xu has already led people to lurk in the palace. They will do it later, and we can cooperate outside!"

Zhao Yun also stroked his beard, but Zhao Yun's eyes were full of confidence.

After Yuexi listened, he also put his heart back into his stomach, and sighed: "Brother Zilong is thoughtful, if there is no internal response, it may not be possible to win the palace today!"

Zhao Yun smiled and waved his hands: "General Yue really thinks highly of me, how can I think so thoroughly, it's all thanks to Guo Yi!"

Zhao Yun pushed Guo Yi down beside Yuexi.

Yue Xi cupped his hands at Guo Yi, and praised: "Father Tiger has no dogs, and Guo Fengxiao has successors. It's just a pity that brother Fengxiao is ill in bed, what a pity!"

Yuexi didn't know about Guo Jia yet, and sighed.

Guo Yi didn't tell the truth, he just thanked Yue Xi for Guo Jia, and then backed away.

Yuexi asked again: "Did Huang Xu ever say where to do it?"

Zhao Yun shook his head: "He didn't get the distribution map of the palace's troops, and he doesn't know the distribution of the palace's troops. In addition, there were many soldiers and horses pouring into the palace just now. We didn't agree on where to attack. It could be any door!"

Yuexi heard the words and ordered: "Pass my order, and the soldiers and horses on all sides cheer me up. If there is any movement, immediately cooperate with the internal response inside and take down the palace gate!"

"Here!"

The messenger hurried down to deliver the order, Yuexi and the others continued to wait outside the palace.

At this time, the eight hundred tiger guards in the palace were fully armed and hid in the courtyard. As long as Huang Xu gave an order, they would attack immediately.

Huang Xu is also waiting, waiting for Li Wu to come back after inquiring about the news.

It turned out that although Huang Xu saw the trumpet cannon in the sky, he didn't know the distribution of the defenders in the palace, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he asked Li Wu to search around the palace to see which side had the least defenders. .

"Damn it, Li Wu has been away for so long and hasn't come back yet. Could it be that he is afraid and hid?"

Hu Benwei and others got impatient, lifted the helmet on his head, and asked Huang Xu.

Huang Xu kicked him: "Don't talk nonsense, Li Wu will definitely be scared, but this kid will never run away!"

Huang Xu said in his heart: "Hmph, if he dares to run away, I can't kill him, but he has something in my hands!"

"Open the door, I'm back!"

At this moment, Li Wu's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in!"

Huang Xu opened the door and pulled Li Wu in.

Li Wu was dragged and staggered, and fell straight into a dog gnawing shit.

"Take it easy! We fell to our death!"

Li Wu got up from the ground and looked at Huang Xu complaining.

Huang Xu didn't have the time to talk nonsense with him, so he asked directly: "See clearly, where is the weakest defender?"

"Well, I can see clearly, there are less than 7000 people on the west side, and there are more than 8000 people on the other sides! Let me tell you, the emperor is coming back tomorrow, you have to give me a good word , In order to inquire about the military situation for you, our family almost lost our heads, if our family hadn't been quick-witted and moved the grandpa out, those bastards would definitely not be able to catch him!"

It turned out that when Li Wu was inquiring in Ximen, he was discovered by soldiers. Two soldiers directly held him down and wanted to kill him. The general came to check on the order of the general manager. The soldiers were afraid of the general manager in the palace, so they released Li Wu.

After listening to Li Wu, Huang Xu said: "We can't go to the west gate. They will definitely be prepared when you are discovered. Except for the west gate, which side has the least defenders!"

"The other three sides are the north side, but there must be [-] soldiers and horses in the north side!"

Li Wu replied.

"Eight thousand is eight thousand, do it, brothers follow me!"

Huang Xu opened the gate of the courtyard, and just as he was about to step out, he found Cai Wenji standing outside the gate. Behind her were more than 1000 tiger guards, all wearing heavy armor and holding sabers.

"The Empress!"

Huang Xu knelt down on one knee to salute Cai Wenji.

"Get up!"

Cai Wenji asked Huang Xu to get up, and said, "Are you going to seize the palace gate?"

Huang Xu didn't dare to hide it: "Yes!"

Cai Wenji nodded, and then said: "Since that's the case, then you should take all these people in my hands with you!"

Huang Xu was shocked when he heard this, and knelt down on the ground and refused repeatedly.
