Northern Dynasties

Chapter 408
"Last year, a high-ranking bandit enlisted the construction of Jinyang Palace, using many Guanxi prisoners of war, so a certain man was able to supervise the construction here for several months. In order to show respect for Ye Palace, the palace garden here was not connected with Zhucheng when it was planned, and it was self-contained. One..."

Luo Chao strode towards Li Tai, asking for credit with a smile on his face, and said: "Since the beginning of the construction, no one else is allowed to enter or leave this palace, so most people in the East don't know about this palace. Fortunately, the fortune in Li Kai's mansion is very strong, and Dai Qi waited for it." Own this merit!"

"General Luo, you don't have to be polite. It's all because of your strategy and guidance that you can go down to this city. Otherwise, I and all the soldiers will always have unlimited willpower, and I don't know where to use it!"

Li Tai did not hesitate to praise Luo Chao, and it was definitely a surprise for him to be able to capture this Jinyang Palace.Originally, he just wanted to make a fuss outside Jinyang City, and never thought of being able to break through the city defenses.

Although Jinyang Palace is not strictly speaking Jinyang City, its political significance is even greater than Jinyang City.

Jinyang City is nothing more than Gao Huan's hegemony's lair, but Jinyang Palace is the other garden of the Emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Thanks to the luck of "Dogfoot Zhen" who didn't live here, otherwise the situation of this division will not end in In my hands, Li Boshan!

The scale of Jinyang Palace is not small, with distances of several miles from east to west, from north to south, with the halls in it as the center to form independent cross-courtyards, scattered in the palace garden.

Some of these homes have been put into use, while others are still idle or under construction.Immediately after entering, Zhu Meng and the others went straight to the central hall and killed hundreds of guards stationed around the hall. There were many precious artifacts and materials scattered inside and outside the hall. The verandahs on both sides of the hall are The warehouse for storing materials in Jinyang Palace.

But right now, it is too late to take inventory of the spoils, as they invaded Jinyang Palace, it was as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest, and there were loud noises from all the cities around the palace, especially the southerly distance from Jinyang Palace Not far away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the sound of drums and horns continued.

Just listening to the noisy voices around, one can imagine that this place must be under siege soon.Li Tai left a team of troops such as Li Yunxin when he was running down, in order to retain part of the combat power of the guerrilla support. After entering Jinyang Palace, he also left a part of the troops in the Xishan mountain road in the northwest of the palace, so as not to Dumplings were made directly.

Liang Shiyan and others searched the palaces and expelled all the personnel they found to the north palace. There were nearly 2000 men and women alone. At the same time, they also determined the location of several armories. And search and transport some of the fine armor.

When these men and horses returned, they seemed to be mice that had fallen into a rice vat, wearing and wearing resistance. Some of the excellent armor that only the general level in Kansai could wear was one or two, and the spears and lances became even more powerful. The most ordinary thing.

Seeing their upstart appearance, Li Tai was also very happy, and quickly ordered the other soldiers to go to the arsenal to arm himself before the Eastern Wei troops invaded.

"Master Lang, this city is too vast, I'm afraid it's not easy to completely defend it! It's best to use this hall as your camp and abandon the palaces in the southeast. There is no lack of armor and knives here, and bows and arrows. The zigzag attack between the walls and corridors is enough to hold on for a long time!"

When Liang Shiyan was searching to the south, he kept the topographical pattern in mind by the way. Although he was not as gifted as Han Guo, he quickly drew up a defensive plan with his vivid memory, and quickly reported it to Li Tai.

"It's not too late, then quickly arrange defenses!"

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded quickly and said, of course he didn't want to dominate Jinyang Palace and stay here, but he has come, if he doesn't take away the personnel gains here, it will definitely be a great regret.

After entering the palace, he also quickly observed the terrain. Indeed, as Liang Shiyan said, it is indeed very difficult to completely defend the palace with the more than 2000 troops he has entered here. Time is not a difficult thing.

The soldiers performed their duties, some continued to collect materials that could be used in the next battle in the palace, and some selected men and women from among the captured palace servants to drive them to build various defenses.

The most important of these is of course the back road. There is a gap in the palace wall in the northwest corner of the palace that is not blocked, and a mountain road extending to the West Mountain is connected to the outside. The stone is planted, so it is open and straight, so it can directly enter the mountains to the west, which can be regarded as a ready retreat.

Li Tai and all his subordinates were busy in Jinyang Palace, so the nearest Prime Minister's Mansion was already in full swing.

"Jinyang Palace has fallen? Grand Master Shedi, how did he arrange the city defense!"

In the Zhitang of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gao Yue put on his armor and stayed here after learning of the enemy's presence outside the North City.

He used to serve as an assistant to the court, and he was not a relatively simple warrior like She Diqian. He knew in his heart that Jinyang Palace was of great significance. a loophole.

Jinyang Palace is very close to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Whether it is the meaning of the palace itself or the actual situation, if it is occupied by the enemy, the consequences will be very serious.

Although it is not yet known what She Digan in Luocheng in the north has done to deal with the situation, Gao Yue can no longer stay here. He first ordered the cavalry cavalry Cao Canjun and Bai Jian to lead the left-behind troops to protect the Inner Palace regiment, no matter what happens, he must ensure The safety of the inner government.

Then he led several other soldiers who remained behind to join the army and went to the south of the city with their warrants. They knocked on the residences of the rich and powerful in the south of the city one by one, and told them to quickly gather the trilogy, and waited until dawn to go straight to the prime minister's mansion to wait for orders.

As soon as he made arrangements for the emergency, a burly general walked into the hall outside the hall, and said to Gao Yue with his hands crossed: "Mr. Qinghe, the voices outside the mansion are chaotic, and the special envoy of the inner mansion came to ask what happened? "

Gao Yuezheng felt a little overwhelmed, and said impatiently after hearing the words: "There are officials outside who are defending with their lives, and the inner palace can take care of it. If I don't die, I will visit again."

Although the rank of this general is far inferior to Gao Yue's, he is a slave of Cangtou's family under Gao Wang's family. His name is Liu Taozhi. After hearing the words, he did not retreat. Ask. But the safety of the master’s family is not something that can be overcome, if Lord Qinghe doesn’t tell the truth, I don’t know what to report when I return!”

Hearing this, Gao Yue suppressed the irritability in his heart for a while, and said: "It is true that a group of thieves entered Jinyang Palace along the way, but it is dark tonight and the thieves' circumstances are not clear, we need to wait until dawn to check to find out the details. Jinyang Palace is empty, so it is taken advantage of by thieves. But the mansion is well equipped, and thieves will break it when they come, please tell the inner mansion to be safe and not to be impatient, and chaos will definitely happen after dawn!"

After Liu Taozhi heard this, he took his leave and left again, but he went back after a while, with more than a hundred armored soldiers behind him, and bowed to Gao Yue: "The inner palace is written The slave told Lord Qinghe that Jinyang has never encountered such a crime since the king established the business. But there is a chance, please punish all the offenders here, and the slaves will also obey the orders of Lord Qinghe."

When Gao Yue heard this, he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Would he still let the enemy go?
However, he also understands that the uneasiness of the inner government that was bullied and disturbed by the enemy is ultimately the negligence of those who stayed behind. , but now all the people left behind are dispatched by Grand Master Shedi. You are waiting here, and all you get is sticking to the mansion. I have issued a notice to the families outside the city. After dawn, all the classics can enter the city to obey orders, and the city defense can be supplemented. There is no need to use the manpower of the inner government."

Liu Taozhi didn't seem to have heard of this, and raised his hand to signal the group of soldiers behind him to line up in the hallway, and he himself stood on the side of the hall with a knife and staff.

After Gao Yue saw this, he didn't say anything more, he just went to Luocheng to inquire about the latest situation, and waited in the straight hall for dawn.
