Qin Shi Mingyue Taoist Master Uncle

As soon as the voice fell, the soldiers behind him roared and rushed forward, wanting to forcefully attack.

"Hurry up, shoot the arrows and block them!" Looking at the many soldiers rushing over, the guard shouted loudly.

After receiving the order, the soldiers on the palace wall quickly drew their bowstrings and shot sharp arrows to block and counterattack.After a shower of arrows, at least dozens of soldiers under the wall fell to the ground amidst screams.However, more people rushed under the palace wall, put up the ladder, and began to climb up the tall ladder.

The soldiers guarding Xianyang Palace fired arrows again, and some attacking people were shot and fell down.

"Quick, quick!" The general guarding here urged the soldiers to bring over the thunder, rocks, rolling logs and other things, and at the same time sent messengers to the palace to report the matter to the king.

"Yes!" The messenger responded, and then left.

In a large hall inside Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei sat opposite each other, with a chessboard between them.Black and white are intertwined and fighting each other, like an invisible war.

"Your Majesty's chess skills are improving very quickly, and his moves are deadly, but sometimes it's better not to be too sharp." Lu Buwei said quite meaningfully.

Ying Zheng heard this, with a slight smile on his face: "Father Zhong's chess has murderous intent hidden in it, it looks grand but it is also full of killing spirit." Ying Zheng said and put another chess piece on the board.

At this time, there are two phases between black and white. Both have advantages and disadvantages. It seems that there should be no winner in a short time.

Just when the two were about to continue playing chess, the palace servant outside the door came in and said: "My lord, Mr. Xiangguo, there is a messenger asking to see him, saying that there is an urgent matter."

Ying Zheng was majestic, he paused slightly with the hand holding the chess piece, and then said lightly: "Xuan."

The former took the order to leave, and then a soldier in armor walked into the hall panting quickly, knelt down on one knee and hurriedly said: "My lord, Lai Ai leads ten thousand soldiers and wants to enter Xianyang Palace. It has been stopped by the general, but with the number of defenders, I am afraid it will not be able to last for too long, please show me the king!"

"What?!" After hearing these words, both Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei's expressions changed.

Lu Buwei hurriedly asked: "How dare Lao Ai make trouble, and where did he get so many soldiers?"

When the messenger heard the question, he quickly replied: "Reporting to Xiangguo, Lao Ai held the Queen Mother's seal in his hand and mobilized the defenders of Xianyang City, and he also said..."

"What else?" Lu Buwei asked again, otherwise he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"He also said that you, Lu Xiangguo, have disrupted the government and bewitched the king. He came here this time to punish treacherous ministers, on the side of the Qing king!"

When Lu Buwei heard this, his expression turned cold instantly, with anger in his eyes.I kept complaining in my heart: "You want to rebel is your own business, why do you involve me?"

But it's useless to think about these things now, the most urgent thing is to suppress this matter as soon as possible, otherwise if the other party is allowed to enter the palace, it will really be over.

I don't know if Yingzheng will die, but he, Lu Buwei, will definitely lose his life, and he will also bear the identity of a traitor!

第230七章 螳螂捕蝉

Lu Buwei frowned thinking of this, and asked again: "Is the gate of Xianyang City still free to enter and exit?"

Faced with this kind of thing, the first thing he thought of was reinforcements. As long as the news could be passed on, someone would definitely lead an army to come to help.

"Master Hui Xiangguo, the incident happened suddenly, and the villain is not clear about it. But when I came here, I heard people talk about it. It seems that the city gate has been sealed early in the morning." The messenger replied respectfully.

Hearing this, the former's face darkened. If the city gate is really sealed, then Xianyang Palace will be in danger. After all, there are not many defenders here.

But at this moment, Ying Zheng said: "Father Zhong, since Lai Ai dared to do such a thing, she must be well prepared. The most urgent task is to find a way to stop the rebels."

When Lu Buwei heard this, he asked, "I wonder if there is any good strategy for the king to get through this crisis?"

"For a while, there is no good way for the widows. The only soldiers that can be mobilized now are the defenders of Xianyang Palace and the [-] forbidden soldiers in the palace. With these forces, we may be able to hold on for a while and wait for the opportunity. However, the court The generals are not here now, so this matter can only be handed over to Father Zhong."

Ying Zheng looked at the former as he spoke.

To be honest, Lu Buwei didn't really want to take on this task, but there was really no other candidate at this time.Moreover, Lai Ai launched a rebellion against the fate of the Qing emperor. Once the matter is successful, she will be the first to be unlucky. After all, even if she is acting, she has to perform a full set. After doing such a big thing, she must have an account to the outside world.

"I would like to obey the king's order!" Lu Buwei agreed and left here, going down to prepare.

After he left, the panic and worry in Ying Zheng's eyes disappeared instantly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Looking at the chess game that has not yet been decided, he picked up a black chess piece and placed it on the board.

As soon as one piece fell, the chess game, which was still partly winning or losing, changed instantly. A large number of white pieces were surrounded by black pieces, and they fell into a passive state...

On the other side, after leaving the main hall, Lu Buwei gathered all the imperial guards in the palace and rushed towards the palace gate as fast as possible.

After more than half an hour, the forbidden army finally arrived, and without any hesitation, they climbed onto the palace wall to provide support, and together they resisted wave after wave of attacks.

The situation in this matter was quite tragic, because Lao Ai wanted to break through the palace gate in the shortest time, so those soldiers also attacked one after another without stopping.

Under such a crazy offensive, the defenders persisted for more than an hour. Although they prevented the opponent from reaching the summit time and time again, their own side also suffered great losses. More than half of the more than 1000 soldiers were lost, and the palace walls were covered with blood. Even the corpses had no time to be transported, which looked very miserable.If there is no reinforcements, it is difficult to say whether it can resist for another hour.

After a thousand elite imperial troops joined, the situation improved obviously, but it was still at an absolute disadvantage.After all, Lai Ai has nearly [-] people, several times more than the defenders.Based on normal conditions, if you can hold on for half a day at most, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold on here.

As the Prime Minister, it is naturally impossible for Lu Buwei to climb the palace wall to be with the soldiers in person, but it is possible to roughly judge the current situation through the recitation.

As time passed, his face became more and more ugly, the defenders fought less and less, and Lao Ai was obviously using the tactics of crowds, using human lives to fill them.While this is the dumbest method, it is certainly useful in its current form.

Watching the sun gradually setting, Lu Buwei frowned tightly, and made a decision after a cup of tea.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned the attendants who had been with him for many years.

"Master Xiang, what's your order?" the attendant asked blankly.

This person looks about 40 years old, holding a knife in one hand, looks like an ordinary person, but if there is a master here, you will find that this person exudes an extremely sharp aura, as if he can cut everything .

Lu Buwei whispered: "Let those people do it!"

"If those people move it, they will expose it to King Qin and others. Forgive my subordinates, they shouldn't use it now." The middle-aged man said with a frown.

Lu Buwei also sighed slightly when he heard the words, why didn't he understand what the other party said, but the current situation did not allow him to hesitate any longer, and he had no other choice.

After all, if Lao Ai enters Xianyang Palace, then his own head will be lost. If he dies, then what's the use of keeping those so-called hole cards?

The most important thing now is to get rid of Lao Ai first, and then talk about other things.
