Chapter 209: Unexpected Obstruction

From the starting point of Gao Huaiyuan's gathering of the soldiers to the gate of the Xiangfu, it is only a few hundred meters, even if it is slowly advancing, it will not take long, the trouble is that they have to pass through a long courtyard wall on the street, the soldiers on the courtyard wall can continue to suppress them on the way, even if the flanks are also shielded, but from time to time someone will be injured by an arrow, as if a giant dragon has been stripped of a scale, hundreds of meters on the road they have paid the price of more than 30 casualties, This made Gao Huaiyuan feel a lot of pain, these soldiers were experienced soldiers he carefully selected, and the casualties were not small, he gritted his teeth and held up the Mo knife in his hand, and had to give up the fallen soldiers, always holding the team and advancing towards the mansion gate.

After what seemed like a very long advance, they finally attacked the gate of the mansion, which was very wide and tall, and there was a tall gate in front of the door, which had to be approached by steps, and the prime minister's side had obviously considered the problem of defense when the gate was first built.

In the gatehouse of the house, there are a lot of arrows, push open the small window, it becomes an arrow hole, at this time in the gatehouse here, has already arranged a lot of soldiers, and the archers outside are difficult to suppress the defenders here, when Gao Huaiyuan they entered here, they were attacked by the archers hidden in the gatehouse, and the people who walked in front immediately fell a few.

Gao Huaiyuan obviously didn't expect to be attacked so fiercely here, when he entered and exited the Prime Minister's Mansion before, although he also noticed the above panes, but he didn't expect that there would be so many defenders hiding inside, and after these panes were pushed open, he knew that there were still arrow holes hidden here, and the layout was very clever, after entering the gatehouse, three sides would be fiercely shot by the defenders, and after they rushed hard, more than a dozen soldiers fell in front, making their attack a setback.

Gao Huaiyuan originally wanted to attack the gate of the mansion, so he placed a few explosive bags they brought, ready to blow up the gate of the mansion, swarm in, and seize the prime minister's mansion, but seeing such a situation, he knew that the plan could not be implemented normally, and the other party would not give them a chance to plant gunpowder at all.

What's more, at this time, he was even more surprised to find that not only the arrow grid appeared above the gatehouse, but also on the originally flat wall, at this time, a lot of bricks suddenly fell, and a row of holes suddenly appeared on the half-human-high wall in the doorway, and some soldiers were about to lean on the wall to avoid arrows, but they did not expect that from these holes, a row of spears were stabbed out at the same time, and even if the soldiers close to the wall were assassinated by the wall, they immediately paid the price of more than ten people, but they did not rush into the doorway.

As a result, their attack was immediately frustrated, and the trappers were squeezed at the door, unable to rush into the door again, which surprised Gao Huaiyuan, although he had carried out a strict investigation, but could not find out that there were so many organs in the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, which caused them great trouble.

After Gao Huai Yuanhai turned sharply a few times, he immediately thought about it, not only did they prepare explosives bags this time, but many people also carried a bottle of fierce fire oil as a backup plan, so he immediately shouted to the people around him: Fire oil bottle ready! Ignition!

Someone immediately shook the fire fold, and under the cover of others, took out the bottle of fire oil hanging from his waist, and immediately set fire to the cotton strip on the mouth of the bottle.

Cast! Gao Huaiyuan gave an order, so the shield flashed, and it was lifted to reveal the soldiers in front of him, these soldiers worked together, and threw the ignited fire oil bottle into the doorway, after more than a dozen fires flashed, the porcelain bottle containing the fire oil was smashed even if it was shattered, and the fire oil inside splashed out, and it was immediately ignited by sparks, and a roar ignited a raging fire, but there were two soldiers in front of the fire oil bottle, one could not dodge, and was shot by the arrow above again, and fell to the ground with a snort.

But this couldn't stop them from stepping forward in the second row, and then more than a dozen fire oil bottles flew out, slammed heavily on the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and burned fiercely, the fire illuminated the entire gatehouse, and the fire tongue suddenly rushed upward, licking to the top of the pavilion made of Nanmu above.

Gao Huaiyuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, ready to watch the people hiding in the gatehouse being burned alive, but something even more unexpected for him appeared at this time, in the mouths of several stone-carved beast heads above the gatehouse, several water columns suddenly erupted, spraying on the gate below and on the ground very accurately.

Although the oil is not easy to extinguish, it does not mean that it cannot be extinguished by water, at least the fire on the gate was immediately extinguished, and the fire was quickly suppressed as the water on the ground increased.

Damn it! Damn it! Withdraw now! Gao Huaiyuan's rare big explosion scolded and ordered.

Seeing that the fire attack did not work, and the mouths of several beast heads in the gatehouse were still spraying water, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't think of what kind of structure was inside this gatehouse, how could it be possible to arrange so many whimsical defensive measures? Knowing that in this case, even if they rushed into the doorway, the gunpowder pack would not be able to place, and after being drenched with water, it would not be able to explode, so staying here any longer would be to die, so he immediately ordered a retreat.

So the dragon, armed with a shield, immediately turned around and retreated, and after paying some price, once again retreated into the street far away from the side of the Prime Minister's House.

After the whole team, Gao Huaiyuan learned that they had paid the price of about 100 casualties in this attack, and he was choked with chagrin in his heart.

I thought that he had planned very carefully at the beginning, and the small Xiangfu should not be able to stop their attack for a long time, as long as they attacked the mansion gate and blew it up, they could declare victory, but they didn't expect that they would suffer a big loss here at the mansion gate at the first stop, and they hit their heads and broke their blood, which couldn't help but make him feel very depressed.

At this time, after seeing that the so-called rebel attack was repelled in the Prime Minister's Mansion, there was a cheer in the mansion, and in comparison, it seemed that the soldiers and horses outside the mansion were a little depressed.

Gao Huaiyuan immediately began to think about a new method in his mind, the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion now seems to be unable to attack hard, they can only choose to storm the courtyard wall next, but he was not prepared at the beginning, except for the five hundred trapped, basically arranged crossbowmen, these forces are obviously a little insufficient to storm the courtyard wall, and the long ladder and other things they prepared are not very sufficient, such a strong attack requires strong troops and sufficient heavy equipment to guarantee, otherwise, it is likely to suffer heavy losses, even if the courtyard wall is attacked, It won't last long.

Adults, let the little ones lead the troops to storm the courtyard wall! The small one guarantees that as long as there are 200 people, they can storm the courtyard wall and open a gap! Li Ruohu and several officers all stood up and demanded that they lead troops to storm the courtyard wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Gao Huaiyuan raised his hand to stop their invitation, and after continuing to think for a while, he was a little undecided for a while, and was about to grit his teeth and prepare to personally lead the team into battle and launch a strong attack, when he heard the sound of a rapid team running from the distant street, a torch illuminated the distant street, and a team of soldiers and horses ran quickly from a distance.

Lord Qiqi, General Hua has solved the problem of selecting the front army and led the troops to support your lordship! A personal guard rushed over and said to Gao Huaiyuan.

Gao Huaiyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, now he was anxious about the problem of insufficient troops, he didn't expect Hua Yue to take the Xuanfeng Army so quickly and rush to help, so his strength would not be a problem, so he immediately ordered Hua Yue to come to see him.

Hua Yue rode his horse and ran over, turned over and dismounted: Lord Qiyu, I am fortunate to be humiliated, I have solved the trouble of selecting the front army, Shi Song has been ambushed, and I have come to report to my lord!

Gao Huaiyuan grabbed Hua Yue and said with a smile: I came just in time, I really ran into trouble here, I was going to blow up the door of the house, but I didn't expect the old thief to die of treachery, there are heavy soldiers set up at the gate of the house, and there are many organs, so that we can't get close to the gate of the house, and now I am preparing to storm the courtyard wall, you came at the right time! Ha ha!

Hua Yue was stunned for a moment, so he hurriedly asked about the details, and couldn't help frowning a little, he originally thought that with Gao Huaiyuan's ability, he should have conquered Shi Miyuan's Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, but he didn't expect Gao Huaiyuan to actually hit a nail here and be blocked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He took advantage of the fire on the side of the Prime Minister's Mansion to take a look at the situation at the gate, nodded and said: Since this is the case, then we will attack it by force, and I will ask for my lordship's permission!

Gao Huaiyuan felt very faceless, Hua Yue and the others had completed their tasks as instructed, but he failed to capture the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he shook his head and said: I will fight the Prime Minister's Mansion, you don't have to fight! I'll do it anyway!

Saying that, he ordered people to start preparing long ladders and other things, and mobilized troops to launch a strong attack on the courtyard wall, in addition to the front here, there are many buildings around the Xiangfu, and there are double-storey alleys on three sides, it is not easy to launch a strong attack in other places, otherwise there will be great casualties, Gao Huaiyuan does not want to pay too much price, so he can only choose the relatively open place in front of the Xiangfu as the target of the attack.

During the transfer of troops, Gao Huaiyuan suddenly saw Xie Quan who was following Hua Yue, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he once again thought about it.

Thank you all for coming here! Did you bring the three cannons with you? Gao Huaiyuan immediately beckoned to Xie Quan and asked.

Xie Quan immediately walked out from behind the crowd, nodded slightly shyly and agreed: The little one has already brought the cannon with General Hua, and is placing it at the back of the team, sending someone to take care of it!
