I am not Yuan Shu

Chapter 186: Execute the eunuchs! Depose the tyrant!
Yuan Shu ordered Lian Da and Xu Chong to lead the 500 most capable men to rush to the front to clear the way for the army. The five hundred armored men rushed forward as if there was no one around.

This time, there was no longer an uninhabited area ahead, but patrol guards and eunuchs could be encountered from time to time.

For these people, the sudden appearance of such a large army was hard to believe. They didn't even know where this group of people came from.

Just as he was about to ask them where they came from, he was rushed over and chopped to the ground.

Some even had their necks slashed before they could even scream, they were terrified.

More people fled when they saw this situation. It was already very difficult to shout a few times to warn.

Come to think of it, the last time external troops entered Luoyang City was a long, long time ago.

Four years ago, the army led by Dou Wu did not enter the imperial palace, nor did they even enter Luoyang City.

The entire imperial palace has not experienced such turmoil for many, many years.

The patrol guards and eunuchs had not heard any rumors of unrest and were enjoying a comfortable life, eating hotpot and singing songs, when suddenly the bandits appeared before them.

No one would be able to react if it were anyone else.

What's more, the five hundred tough men led by Lian Da and Xu Chong were members of the Yi Xin Hui Security Department. They were the elite among the elite, each of them was fully armed and extremely powerful. They charged in the front, and no one could stop them. In no time, they arrived at the Yunlong Gate.

The palace was naturally locked and closed at night, and there were palace guards under the Guanglu Xun as defense. There were also some soldiers from the Huben Army and the Yulin Army performing patrol duties inside and outside the palace.

But firstly, they had few people, most of them were sleeping, and only a few were on duty. Secondly, they had hardly encountered such a thing. Their predecessors might have encountered it, but they had never encountered it.

Although it was Yuan Shu's first rebellion, this generation of palace guards, Huben Army, and Yulin Army also faced such a situation for the first time.

How else can we calculate it?

Of course, the brave one wins when two meet in a narrow road!
Until they entered the Shuoping Gate, Yuan Shu's troops did not make any noise. They entered smoothly with the help of an insider. Only after they entered the Shuoping Gate did some people begin to notice them and shout warnings, but it was of little significance.

They have already entered the palace.

In front of the Yunlong Gate, the palace guards were already anxiously preparing to meet the enemy, but their commander had been frightened and said he would report to his superiors, then he ran away.

There were only more than thirty guards guarding the Yunlong Gate, and more than eighty Huben Army soldiers who heard the noise outside the palace gate and rushed over.

Xu Chong and Lian Da led five hundred strong men to rush over, and the Huben Army who hurriedly met the enemy in front of the palace gate were completely vulnerable.

Xu Chong roared and rushed forward with his shield. A dozen warriors rushed forward with him, holding their shields. With just one charge, they broke through the formation of the Huben Army, and then they started killing them like chopping melons and vegetables.

Xu Chong roared and killed three Huben soldiers in succession, then led his men forward and rushed directly to the palace gate. In the end, he could not get through, so he could only step back slightly to avoid the arrows of the palace guards and wait for siege equipment such as battering rams and ladders to arrive.

Yuan Shu also acted quickly, dispatching more people to transport the battering ram and ladder to the Yunlong Gate quickly. Then a group of strong men operated the battering ram and rammed it hard into the Yunlong Gate.

a bit!
Twice!

Three times!

The palace gate was shaken by the impact.

As they were bumping into each other, a ladder was being set up over there. Xu Chong rushed up first with a knife in his mouth. Before the palace guards could wait for reinforcements, they saw that the people outside had already climbed up. They were so scared that they quickly turned around and ran away.

Xu Chong was the first to climb the palace gate. He swung his sword and knocked down a palace guard who had not had time to run away. He led several soldiers to rush over, pried open the palace lock, opened the Yunlong Gate, and the army then rushed into the Yunlong Gate.

"Kill the eunuchs! Depose the tyrant! Brothers! Follow me!!!" Xu Chong, who was bloodthirsty, roared angrily and led 500 vanguard soldiers to charge and fight fiercely. Soon they led the entire army to the Jinshang Gate, where they met the coalition forces of more than 200 palace guards and Yulin Army who had been assembled in an emergency.

This group of coalition forces also came in a hurry, and many of them didn't even put on armor. When they saw the 500 fully armed and murderous warriors, they were shocked and lost their momentum first.

Xu Chong took the shield from the guard beside him, thrust it forward, and roared: "Follow me!!!"

More than ten warriors continued to cooperate with Xu Chong and rushed forward together. The rest of the warriors followed closely under the command of Lian Da. They rushed into the coalition forces at first sight and defeated them in a flash. Then they chased and attacked them all the way and successfully broke through to the Jinshang Gate.

Jinshang Gate is the north gate of the Eastern Palace where Liu Hong lived. As long as they break through Jinshang Gate, Liu Hong will be right in front of them.

Yuan Shu, Lu Zhi, Duan Xing, Dong Xuan, Yu Miao and others led the main force to charge closely behind him, and then divided the troops according to the plan. He ordered Lu Zhi and Yu Miao to lead half of the troops to the West Palace to control Queen Song and the other concubines in the palace, while he personally led the troops to attack the Jinshang Gate.

The Jinshang Gate had already made initial preparations. Originally, there were only more than 20 people on duty, but now more than 100 people have been gathered from other places to try to defend the city. They used a small number of bows and crossbows to shoot at the Yuan army outside the gate, but the effect was very limited.

Yuan Shu immediately ordered the battering rams to rush forward and ram the palace gate hard. He also ordered the warriors to climb up the ladders, and then used archers to shoot at the enemy to cover the charge. The three sides suppressed the enemy together and soon seized the initiative.

The Jinshang family is in danger.

At the same time, Liu Hong, who had just woken up, was still shivering on the bed. The eunuchs Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, in dishevel, were leading a group of young eunuchs to protect Liu Hong in the Chongde Hall, while waiting for the latest news from outside.

The sudden turmoil caused the entire palace to be in fear and anxiety. The eunuchs had no idea what to do. Suddenly they heard that the rebel army had rushed to Yunlong Gate and was attacking it. The palace was in danger.

This horrific news made the eunuchs tremble with fear.

Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong were the first to react and quickly brought their young eunuchs to protect Liu Hong.

Cao Jie arrived shortly afterwards and, seeing what had happened, he asked Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong to protect Liu Hong while he himself led people to gather information.

He planned to look for Wang Fu, but Wang Fu didn't seem to be on duty tonight, so he still had no idea what had happened.

Who is so bold as to storm the palace and cause trouble?

Could it be the remnants of the party?
Soon, eunuchs such as Xia Yun, Guo Sheng, Bi Lan, Zhang Gong, and Song Dian came one after another with their teams to Chongde Hall to protect Liu Hong. A group of eunuchs gathered together and talked nonsense, but they could not come to a conclusion.

They also don’t know what to do next, where to go, or who can solve the current situation.

Soon, Cao Jie ran over with a panicked look on his face and brought a very horrifying news.

"The rebel army is already attacking the Jinshang Gate! Quick! Take His Majesty and run south! Run! It will be too late if we don't run now!"

The eunuchs were stunned with fear. Liu Hong was still holding the concubine he had just favored in his arms, and he was so scared that tears came out of his eyes.

"Who is it? Who wants to murder me?"

"I don't know. I don't know yet. The Palace Gate Order is still resisting. I have sent people to mobilize the Tiger Guards and the Yulin Army for support, but now we must leave immediately. The Jinshang Gate may not be able to stop those bandits!"

Cao Jie simply pulled Liu Hong and ran out, without even noticing that Liu Hong was not wearing shoes.

The senior eunuchs ran out with their young eunuchs. As for the concubine, she was left on the bed. No one cared about her. She screamed miserably, stumbled out of bed, and quickly caught up with the eunuchs, running south together.

Unfortunately, they are not very good at running and cannot run fast enough.
