Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Cao Tao was shocked when he heard that the troops he had discovered at the foot of the mountain had already arrived in Luo County.

"The young emperor's subordinates are really capable."

Cao Tao felt a little emotional.

Once Luo County is occupied, if he wants to encircle the imperial guards on the mountain, he must first take down Luo County.

Otherwise, who knows how many soldiers are stored in Luo County. If he fights in the front and a large number of soldiers from Luo County rush out, wouldn’t he be the one who is trapped?

"Pass the order down, the entire army will march into Luo County!"

"storm!"

The city wall of Luo County is not high and is made of earth.

You can climb up by just picking up a bench and stepping on it.

So Cao Tao directly ordered an attack on the city.

More than 6,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp under his command formed into square formations, with distinctive armor, and rushed towards Luo County.

On the north wall of Luo County

Su Fu gritted his teeth and looked at the clouds of dust rising outside the county town, with a hint of determination between his eyebrows.

Leading troops into Luo County to cover Ye Chen's retreat is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.

He was also very hesitant when he made this decision.

But he finally made up his mind.

After all, he was loyal to Su Mengjiao.

Now Su Mengjiao and Ye Chen are on the same front.

Helping Ye Chen is helping Su Mengjiao.

Su Fu sighed lightly, slowly grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and slowly pulled out the sword.

The way he held the sword was not good-looking, and even looked a little clumsy, and he had not practiced martial arts much.

"If I can hold on for an hour, Your Majesty should be able to escape the pursuit of the Beijing troops, right?"

Su Fu thought so.

But his face was a little pale and he gripped the hilt of the sword nervously.

Outside the city, the sound of footsteps from the rows of soldiers holding halberds coming forward made him tremble with fear.

This was a scene he had never seen before.

But at this moment, a soldier suddenly came to him.

"Sir, scouts have been spotted from the south of the city."

The soldier clasped his fists towards Su Fu.

"Maybe they retreated from the foot of the mountain."

Su Fu shook his head and said, "Don't worry about him."

He was in no mood to pay attention to the scouts right now.

Soon, six cavalrymen appeared in his sight.

The six cavalrymen swung their reins violently and charged towards the Beijing camp at an extremely fast speed.

It was not until a cavalryman passed by not far away that Su Fu suddenly realized that the cavalryman's mount looked familiar.

"No, this is the horse I left at the foot of that cliff!"

Su Fu's heart suddenly tightened.

But then she saw that the five cavalrymen had already rushed towards the Beijing camp army.

Immediately afterwards, bursts of loud shouts echoed among the military formations.

"The Imperial Guards are ordered to leave the city to carry out official business. All soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp are to return to camp immediately!"

"His Majesty will not hold you accountable for leaving the camp without a military token!"

"Otherwise, disobeying the imperial decree will be treated as treason!"

~~

The five cavalrymen shouted.

At this moment, almost all the soldiers in the army were shocked.

Many people immediately stopped and stared blankly at the cavalry moving in front of them.

"The general has issued an order: rebel soldiers are spreading rumors and disrupting the morale of the troops! They must be executed! Archers! Shoot these rebel soldiers!"

Suddenly, many soldiers picked up their bows and crossbows and aimed at the five cavalrymen.

Seeing that things were not going well, the five cavalrymen turned around and ran, shouting as they ran.

The sound quickly spread throughout the army.

"Don't listen to the bandits! The general has ordered a violent attack on Luo County!"

"The first one to rush into the county town will be rewarded handsomely!"

There were also messengers roaming around the army, shouting loudly to calm the troops.

So, the infantry phalanx that had originally stopped began to advance again.

Seeing this, Su Fu could only sigh.

It seems that it still doesn't work.

Just when Su Fu thought he was doomed and would die in battle today.

A soldier trotted up to him.

"Sir, a troop has appeared in the south. Well, it seems that His Majesty has arrived."

"what?!"

Su Fu's eyes widened immediately.

He then ran hurriedly towards the southern city wall, and when he reached the top of the wall, he really saw clouds of dust rising in the distance.

Infantry phalanxes are marching forward in large strides.

Although the imperial guards brought by Ye Chen were not as large as the soldiers of the Beijing Camp, they were definitely elite.

What surprised Su Fu was that smoke and dust continued to rise behind the hundreds of imperial guards.

It felt as if these hundreds of imperial guards were followed by a large number of soldiers.

Su Fu was very surprised.

"Where did these people come from? Did His Majesty bring out all the imperial guards in the palace?"

As an official temporarily serving as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, Su Fu was well aware of the deployment of troops outside the capital.

Apart from the Beijing troops, there are definitely not many troops outside the city.

Although there are more than 3,000 imperial guards in the palace, it is impossible to mobilize all of them.

Is the palace no longer protected?

Moreover, just look at the scale of the smoke and dust.

Su Fu felt that the army Ye Chen brought might be tens of thousands.

Could it be that Ye Chen could turn beans into soldiers?

This is really weird!

Not only Su Fu, Cao Tao also saw the smoke.

He was currently standing on a high ground, overlooking the army with a frown on his face.

"Where did these soldiers come from?"

Cao Tao pointed to the place where the smoke and dust were rising and immediately ordered, "Send scouts to investigate immediately."

Just when Cao Tao sent out scouts, Ye Chen was already arranging soldiers to enter the city.

"The smoke and dust are swept up by the branches dragged behind the horses. It should be able to hide us for a while."

As soon as Ye Chen saw Su Fu, he said calmly: "Su Fu, tell me about the current situation."

Hearing this, Su Fu looked at Ye Chen in surprise.

Then he bowed.

"Yes."
