Chapter 376: Stubborn Resistance
Yong'an Hall is too big, and Yang Xing and they are not far from the gate, so even if Luo Siping and their skills are extraordinary and their ear power is better than ordinary people, they still can't hear the conversation between the two sides clearly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It stands to reason that the queen's dormitory should not be like this, normally speaking, whether it is the residence of the queen or the concubine, it is slightly larger than the residence of ordinary people and is limited, but the decoration inside is more luxurious, and the queen has occupied the Yong'an Palace, which is a slightly smaller and more limited palace than the Xuanzheng Hall for discussing state affairs, and its ambition is self-evident.
Yong'an Palace, originally used by members of the royal family to discuss matters, such as the gathering before the ancestors, before the royal family and his children got married, the emperor and the queen will also meet again, belonging to the palace place of the royal family gathering, later, the royal family members were persecuted to death one after another for one reason or another, and some of the surviving clan relatives were afraid of being affected by the power struggle, so they chose to stay away from the imperial capital, away from the power struggle, and the former emperor was bedridden all the year round, so the Yong'an Palace also lost the meaning of existence, so it was occupied by the queen and used to summon cronies and ministers at ordinary times. Over time, it became the queen's dormitory.
The reason why the queen Ning Yuan braved the world's disapproval to occupy the Yong'an Palace, in addition to showing her own strength, there is also the most important reason, that is, there is a little-known secret passage in the Yong'an Palace, which leads to the Taiwu Courtyard in the south of the harem, and in the Taiwu Courtyard, there is also a more little-known secret passage, which is where the queen cares the most.
It has two exits, one of which is an inconspicuous residence not far from the imperial capital, and the other exit is a barren mountain not far from the imperial capital, which is the escape channel of the royal family, in addition to the emperor and the queen and the eldest prince, now only the queen and Situ Zheng are only two, and Situ Zheng, usually lives in Taiwu Yuan, his surface identity is just an ordinary eunuch in Taiwu Yuan, his residence is the entrance and exit of these two passages. Chang Xun and Lin Ru hurriedly came to the Taiwu Academy, and to their surprise, there were not a few eunuchs in the Taiwu Academy, and the female soldiers killed most of the twenty or so armed eunuchs left behind with just a charge, and the remaining few committed suicide by taking poison before Chang Xun could ask.
Seeing this scene, Chang Xun couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, Deadpool, this kind of thing similar to a puppet has not appeared for many years, and the empire also explicitly prohibits the cultivation of Deadpool, just because the means of cultivating Deadpool are too cruel and contrary to the harmony of heaven, but I didn't expect that Deadpool actually appeared in the royal harem.
These people, it is said that they were poured a magical potion when they were young, and since then they have almost no feelings at all, and only obey the orders of their masters, even if they let them die, they will not hesitate, they belong to the more extreme horrors, elements, and they are not only ruthless to themselves, but also to the enemy, and sometimes they can even sacrifice themselves without hesitation in order to complete the task, so Deadpool is a very terrible existence, and they are generally trained to be killers, Clearing out dissidents for their masters, and never revealing the identity of their masters even if they fail in their missions, in a sense, their presence represents killing.
Chang Xun reminded Lin Ru: "Let everyone be careful, these Deadpools can't be treated as ordinary people, once discovered, don't leave your hands and kill them with all your might." ”
In fact, there is no need to remind Chang Xun, Lin Ru also knows that these guys are not easy to deal with, although the enemy is defending himself just now, the other party has a certain advantage, the other party only has more than 20 people, and his own side, not only the number of people far exceeds the other party, but also well-equipped, and there are battle formations and heavy shield protection, but even so, the female soldiers also paid a lot of price, at least, after this station, there were more than 30 female soldiers sacrificed, and there were more than a dozen seriously injured.
These Deadpools are all fierce and fearless of death, and after rushing into the array, they are slashing wildly, their weapons are also very good, and they are trained to be ruthless, deadly with knives, and they specialize in key points, and they have a wealth of experience in dealing with heavily armed soldiers, basically avoiding the chest, abdomen and other areas protected by armor, and instead choose a neck and throat attack with weak defense or even no defense.
When it comes to personal force, the female soldiers are naturally no match for these Deadpools, and although they are killed in the end, they also pay a heavy price. Since the establishment of the Pro-Guard Army, this is the first time that Lin Ru has suffered such a big loss, and her eyes were red at that time, but she did not lose her mind, and calmly changed her tactics, using crossbows and bows and arrows to open the way, and shoot the enemy in front of the tight body, so as not to cause casualties due to short-handed combat.
Once the opponent is unstoppable, the archer will retreat into the formation, using the heavy shield as cover, and then, the pikemen behind the heavy shield man will stick out of the shield wall with their spears to prevent the enemy from approaching, waiting for the crossbowman to shoot a second time, in short, it is mainly long-range strikes, and melee troops are used as cover.
Lin Ru's tactics were quite good, but unfortunately, except for the twenty or so Deadpools at the beginning, nothing was found in the Taiwu Courtyard.
Chang Xun asked people to find some palace maids and eunuchs nearby, but these people did not find that the eunuchs of Taiwu Yuan were out, especially so many people traveling together, which also confirmed Ren Fei's guess that the other exit to Yong'an Hall was likely to be here, and those disappeared Deadpools were probably hiding inside, or had gone to the other end of the passage.
On the other end, thinking of this, Chang Xun's heart tightened, if a deadpool like five hundred suddenly appeared in Yong'an Palace, then Yang Xing and Yuan Fang would be really dangerous, with their strength, Yuqing's five hundred people may not be opponents.
Lin Ru also thought of this, and immediately divided his troops to five hundred and rushed back to the Yong'an Palace, and sent someone to notify Lin Hu, the captain of the Praetorian Guard, to transfer troops to support.
Chang Xun took the remaining five hundred female soldiers to carefully search in the Taiwu Courtyard, searching for the entrance to the secret passage, and sent someone to find the fifth child who was proficient in this way to help. Lao Wu deserved to be a master in this, and it didn't take long to find an entrance in the main room of Situ Zheng's residence, and in his professional habits, he found another hole in the wing room.
The cover on the outside of the cave entrance was removed by everyone, and the two holes were closed by heavy iron plates, and the inside was locked, which was difficult to open from the outside, and the fifth was not sure if the two holes belonged to a tunnel.
Everyone was struggling with how to open the entrance to the cave, a thousand cavalry under Chang Xun arrived, with the support of these new forces, Chang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, before he was really a little worried that those Deadpool rushed out, the five hundred female soldiers in his hand were not opponents.
