Chapter 402 The Betrayer
The time set by the Inspector General is different for different people. Some people are always looking forward to the time passing early, while others hope that this time can be slower and slower.
When the five minutes were up, I gathered together those who were still willing to follow him. The cruelest and most puzzling thing in history happened. The remaining people became the last people in the world. They lost their loved ones.
Not married, and without any children, God knows why they are willing to stay.
Maybe it's just because I have no one to rely on that I am willing to move forward.
Losing his command, Zuo Lan seized the opportunity and took advantage of the leaderless defending king's army. He prepared to break through the defense in front of him as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the battle outside the palace began. Less than two squads of soldiers had to fight against their colleagues who were extremely well-equipped. To fight, they needed to be caught by surprise. To break the situation, they needed a death squad that could contain them.
The six men who were sent out to act as bait and had no chance of surviving were acting as a feint in the front. Nawu and the remaining brothers took advantage of the cover to reach the outside of the square wall. They used each other's strength to climb over the wall.
"Stop looking! Let's go!"
Squad leader Lao Lei grabbed the soldier who was attracted by the intensive firepower, dragged him forward and ran away.
Nawu was the only one here who understood the terrain of the palace. He leaned down and quickly moved forward through the paths that only servants would usually walk. As he was advancing, he was surprised when he saw the young man beside him who was also working hard.
"Why are you here? Go back quickly!"
"Report to the Inspector General, I will work with you to save His Majesty."
The young man's determined look made Nago furious. The inspector punched the young man to the ground, and then tied the young man's hands and feet with a belt.
Just in case, he also took off his fat military uniform.
For about a minute, the boy was hidden under the green plants.
Seeing that time was wasted, the subsequent advance was faster. The soldiers did not dare to breathe loudly. The group bypassed the defenders who were sending reinforcements, and they were only a brick field away from the palace.
Looking from a hiding place, there is a thick layer of clouds above the tall palace, and outside the palace are a few lazy defenders.
These defenders were not on alert and were squatting on the stairs.
Then I looked at the brothers behind me and found that the faces of my men were decisive, and the gunshots from the death squads were no longer heard.
"Throw away your brain, follow my footsteps, and be alert to your surroundings. There are many rooms in the palace, and anyone with weapons can be regarded as a target."
"clear."
Then I nodded and prepared to attack.
Judging from various signs, a group of high-level officials, including the emperor, must have been imprisoned, otherwise the current situation would not exist.
As Nawu rushed out of the hiding place, the remaining brothers fought bravely and eliminated the guards on the palace steps as quickly as possible.
To break into the palace, you have to walk up a long flight of stairs, and every step will make those who are preparing to reach the palace feel the grandeur of this building.
The window glass is glowing with light, the walls are smooth and clean, and the tall stone pillars stand majestically.
I was the first to see a few people rushing outside the temple. He raised his hand and opened fire without hesitation. Several soldiers behind him killed the target with precise shots.
A total of three waves of people came out before and after, and they all fell under the guns of those people.
As soon as they walked up the stairs and reached the foot of the stone pillar, a bullet from the palace knocked down one of Nawu's soldiers. The rest either fell down on the stairs or used the stone pillar as a cover to fight back.
Squad Leader Lao Lei's marksmanship and the grenades thrown into the palace brought the battle to a quick end.
"Leave a few people to guard the entrance, and the others will come up with me."
Successfully entered the palace. There used to be a lot of valuables placed here, but they were robbed when the Atonement Army entered the city. Now only the exquisite walls are left that cannot be taken away.
Facing one or two remnant enemies that may appear at any time, we and I took turns to cover and attack upstairs. The tacit cooperation was the best proof of the battlefield experience of these soldiers.
Even though we don’t know where the emperor is, his bedroom and waiting room always come first.
There is also a place where the emperor and ministers discuss matters.
Room after room was broken open, one enemy was killed one by one, and the group of people walked through the palace with great fanfare in a palace that seemed to have no emperor.
A soldier broke open the door of the venue and was immediately penetrated by a bullet. Lao Lei, who was guarding one side of the door, quickly shot sideways and cleared him.
Then I broke in with a gun and accurately shot an enemy hiding behind a chair. He immediately shouted: "Stop shooting! Stop shooting!"
There were not only armed personnel who were targeted, but also two unarmed high-ranking military officers.
The two senior officers immediately understood the situation. When they were untied, one of them said: "We were captured for interrogation. Your Majesty and others are in the dormitory above."
"Who did it?"
"Prince Fajuan."
"Is it really him? Why? He has no reason to betray His Majesty."
"Your making such a fuss may put His Majesty in danger. Leave us alone and go quickly."
"Brothers, keep your eyes open. We can't fire at will anymore. Take action."
This small team continues to attack upwards, but I am still at the forefront. Only he can distinguish between ourselves and the enemy as quickly as possible.
Just as they rushed to the palace floor, a fierce battle also broke out at the entrance of the palace. The soldiers who stayed to guard and the soldiers who came back for reinforcements fought together.
There really isn't much time left for me.
The entire upper floor belonged to the palace, which was as large as a wealthy merchant's yard.
The door is blocked, and you can't open it even if you hit it hard.
Nawu signaled the soldiers to place explosives, and he shouted at the door: "Fa Yao! Surrender immediately! You have failed! Don't make a useless struggle!"
Prince Fa Yao on the other side of the door said eagerly: "Then I have failed. Come with me and submit to Lord Rohan. This will save your life."
"You traitor, get out now. What benefit did that businessman give you? What? Do you plan to continue to be a prince or a noble? Just get out, and I can save your life."
"You are stubborn. Failure is a foregone conclusion. You are still dreaming about reviving the country. Submit, I will tell Lord Rohan that you continue to be your inspector general."
"You want me to submit to a businessman? Just daydream."
"That means there's nothing to talk about?"
"If you just surrender, there's still room for discussion."
"Well, listen to me, I have a deal with Mr. Rohan. We have been in contact a long time ago. Your Excellency has promised me that as long as I help the Qiang Qing Army break the city at the last moment, he will ensure that I am rich.
In life, you have to believe it. Then me? Then me! Speak! You..."
The door of the dormitory was broken, and the violent explosion caused sawdust to fly everywhere, and all the glass products wherever the shock wave hit turned into shards.
Nawu and his soldiers came in armed with guns.
There were many familiar faces in the palace. These people were tied under the wall. The emperor was sitting on the couch, and two guns were pointed at the emperor's head.
Fa Yao held a pistol in one hand and blocked his ears. The close-range explosion just now made him dizzy.
"Don't move!" Fa Yao reluctantly raised the pistol, "If you take another step forward, I will kill him!"
The two soldiers controlling the emperor brought their guns very close, almost touching the emperor's delicate skin.
I don't dare to act rashly, but the firefight downstairs has ended, and the soldiers who have returned to support are rushing upstairs.
Squad leader Lao Lei waved his hand and the Sanming soldiers left the palace. They wanted to stop him at the stairs.
Seeing that the situation was back in his own hands, Faxuan smiled and said: "I almost fell short, okay, okay, then, you are really good. I used to respect you so much, but now you have to go against me. Today I will
Let you see the consequences of opposing me! Zuo Ke!"
Dr. Zuo Ke, a dark-skinned member of the original guard and loyal to Fa Yao, turned around from the emperor's bed and turned his gun originally aimed at the emperor at Nawu.
Then I sneered, it's this bastard again, he really is everywhere.
"Go to hell! Na me!"
Well, there are many things I can doubt, but there is only one thing that is unquestionable, and one that everyone understands, his loyalty.
In other words, I will not risk harming the emperor.
Doctor Zuo fired without any scruples. The bullet was ejected from the muzzle, and the bullet flying at high speed hit Nawu's chest.
At the same moment, squad leader Lao Lei fired, and his target was the only soldier in the field facing the emperor.
Almost instantly, Nawu and the soldier fell to the ground at the same time.
Nawu is loyal enough, but he also has an old squad leader who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Apart from Fa Yao's calculations, how can any soldier disobey orders?
