Ming Dynasty: Summoning game players at the beginning

Chapter 298 There were a lot of people outside just now
"How can it be?!"

Lu Demeng screamed and stared at the scene in front of him that looked like an illusion.

Hundreds of armored soldiers poured out of the palace like black water, and then quickly formed several horizontal rows, like a huge guillotine standing in front of the "rebel army".

The dream of becoming a powerful official was shattered on the eve of victory. It was as if he had climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty but was kicked down by someone. He experienced double despair from heaven to earth.

Lu Demeng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and the blood in his body seemed to have turned cold at this moment.

His mouth was frozen in a slightly open position, and the knife in his hand inadvertently slipped to the ground.

They moved swiftly, formed a wall-like formation, and advanced steadily... Every soldier of the Imperial Guard was like a puppet moving in unison, which was terrifying.

Just like the heavenly soldiers he saw at the parade.

Why do the Imperial Guards have the shadow of heavenly soldiers?
Lu Demeng thought about it and realized that these people were just heavenly soldiers in a new set of clothes!
Why would the heavenly soldiers appear in the king's palace!
No matter how small Korea was, it was still a vassal state under the Ming Dynasty's vassal system. How could hundreds of heavenly soldiers be allowed to stay in the palace?

Unless... the false king had known for a long time that Lu Demeng was planning a rebellion, so he requested help from the heavenly soldiers in advance and waited for his arrival here.

Ludmond immediately broke out in a sweat.

He was plotted!
His mutiny was controlled by the fake king from the very beginning!
But if the other party knew about his actions in advance, why didn't they arrest him in advance?

It can't be that the false king was having a late-night conversation with a master, and the master happened to use some evil magic and saw the late-night actions of the righteous army, so he temporarily mobilized the heavenly soldiers to assist in the defense?
Considering the close relationship between the pseudo-king and the heavenly soldiers, it seems to far exceed the cooperative relationship between the heavenly soldiers and the vassal kings.

Even if the heavenly soldiers were to consider the vassal states again, the most they could do was to expel the Japanese pirates back then.

But this group of heavenly soldiers was very strange. They didn't seem like a guest army assisting in the war, but rather like the head of a family managing their own business. They were in charge of everything and never felt tired of it. They carefully removed all the thorns that would affect production.

Whether they were conquering the Tartars, training soldiers in the bandit-catching camp, colluding with Korean merchants to smuggle salt, hiring craftsmen to build ships, or assisting Korea in mining, it was all for their own interests!
Either the fake king sold out all of Korea's interests to the heavenly soldiers, or the king was controlled by the heavenly soldiers from the very beginning and had to be a puppet who obeyed their orders.

For example, the Beiwei Army captured the wife and daughter of the fake king "Li Hao" - the prince was married before he became a hostage, so how could he suddenly lose his family when he came back alive?

The heavenly soldiers captured the second prince's beloved wife and daughter and forced the prince to obey them in everything.

Prince Li Hao was not crazy originally, and his relationship with scholars was quite harmonious.

But now his temperament has changed drastically - he beat the yangban with sticks, imprisoned his father for treason, killed officials indiscriminately in the palace, set up the Executive Yuan and stationed heavenly soldiers to monitor, and issued chaotic laws to force the yangban of the world to rebel, all because the prince was controlled by the heavenly soldiers!
The Heavenly Soldiers also said that the eldest prince's family had all died in an untimely manner, most likely because they refused to be manipulated by them, so they were brutally murdered...

As an important border town of the Ming Dynasty, why did the Beiwei Army place its confidants in Korea to gain benefits?

Unless they have the same idea as the Tartars, wanting to exploit Korea's money, food, and labor to launch a counterattack against the Ming Dynasty?!

So that’s it! Lu Demeng felt that all the “strange things” that had happened since the heavenly soldiers came south had an explanation.

They are not heavenly soldiers, they are real rebels who are accumulating strength!

Ludmeng looked into the distance and saw a prince in a scarlet robe surrounded by dozens of guards.

This is called protection, but is actually a brutal act of control. Why did he only figure it out now!
I believe that Your Highness misses his wife and daughter far away day and night, and worries about the safety of the Korean yangban.

The second prince is also well-read in the classics of sages, so how could he not sympathize with the "hard work" of the yangban!

But he blamed the tyranny on the head of His Highness who endured humiliation, which was extremely stupid.

Your Highness!

Lu Demeng wanted to shout out his guess, but he also knew that he was in a desperate situation and that once he said it out loud, it might put His Highness in danger.

Not to mention saving His Highness who had become a puppet, he couldn't even save Korea, the Ming Dynasty, or even himself.

The whole world will fall into the clutches of this "evil army", and there will never be peace in the future!
Lu Demeng's storm of thoughts had only lasted a moment when this group of real traitors moved.

Hundreds of armored soldiers, like a human wall blocking the way to the left and right, advanced step by step. When there was no way to retreat, hundreds of "rebels" were like warriors fighting a desperate battle, raising their swords high and roaring, while throwing their torches with all their might to free up their left hands to fight.

The "rebels" still believed that as long as they broke through the "weak" infantry formation, they could kill their ultimate target, or at worst, they could smash open the door behind them and escape.

The burning torches drew lines of fire in the air, which hit the shields like sparks, making a tinkling sound, or fell at the feet of the imperial guards and were submerged by the infantry formation.

However, the imperial guards did not panic. They marched forward with iron steps without stopping, allowing the flickering flames to warm their boots and trouser legs under their feet.

Even though some people's trouser legs were set on fire, the imperial guards did not move at all.

They trusted their teammates behind them to extinguish the flames with flying kicks. However, their teammates' kicks were somewhat personal, each one more powerful than the last...

Facing the oncoming "rebel army", the commander of the imperial guards sneered, like a hunter with an elephant spear, staring at the attacking elephant with contempt, and still did not order his brothers to stop and fight.

The brothers also believed in the captain's judgment and moved forward without any doubt.

The iron plates of armor trembled with every step like a war drum, and the hundreds of imperial guards were like hundreds of war drums, beating them together and playing music in front of the enemy.

Just before the enemy was about to collide, a roar in the accent of an old Qin person rang out, "Kill!"

All the imperial guards stopped in their tracks. The front row soldiers stood on the ground with shields in their hands, thrusting outwards with their spears tightly gripped in their hands.

In just a moment after the order was issued, hundreds of "rebels" slammed into the shield formation of the imperial guards.

However, the imperial guards were fully equipped with armor and shields, and the soldiers in the back row immediately thrust their spears through the enemy's belly.

Taking advantage of the moment when the first row of enemies were attacked, the commander shouted, "First row, kill!"

The first row of imperial guards opened their shields one after another, leaving space for them to thrust their spears.

They thrust their spears through the rebels' chests and abdomens, and the spears and swords behind them followed closely, piercing the enemy's chests and arms in turn, and blood splattered everywhere.

As the enemy fell, the first row of imperial guards raised their shields like machines, blocking the subsequent rebels who were rushing towards them in time.

Hundreds of rebel soldiers rushed towards the shield wall of the imperial guards like hyenas, swinging their swords to chop the shields and hacking at people around the shields.

Without qualified heavy armor, they were at a disadvantage at this time. When the rebels slashed at the imperial guards, they could only hear the metal sound of the armor and the knife bouncing off, and could not cause any wounds. However, the swords and spears stabbed by the imperial guards could easily break through the chain mail and leather armor and penetrate into the soft flesh.

In just a short battle, the heavily armored imperial guards easily killed more than a hundred rebels, while they themselves suffered only single-digit casualties. Even then, the rebels accidentally hit them in the vulnerable parts of the neck or eyes.

One after another, the rebels fell down, crying and begging for mercy. The rebels who replaced them no longer had the courage to move forward. They stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

"Kill!" the commander of the imperial guards roared again. His voice was like thunder, shaking Lu Demeng and others to the point of trembling.

Hundreds of imperial guards marched forward relentlessly, not even bothering to observe the obstacles on the ground. They crushed the dying rebels in the chest, one, two, three...

Several big feet stepped on them one after another, completely sending away the dying wounded soldiers.

The sticky sound of military boots crushing flesh and blood came one after another, and Lu Demeng felt nauseous, horrified and terrified.

The helmets, faces and shields of these imperial guards were covered with the blood of the "rebels". They were like a group of killing gods, a group of monsters born only for killing. They followed the simple "shouting and killing" and silently stabbed out the sharp blades to decide human lives.

"kill!"

Faced with such a terrifying posture, the courage of the "rebel army" inspired by silver and fiefdoms was instantly dispersed.

They fled backwards like crazy, only to discover a fact that had been briefly forgotten because of the bloody massacre—

The only way out, the door to diligent administration, had long been closed.
