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

Cao Tao had already made up his mind to kill, but just when he was about to send more scouts to find out the number of troops in Luo County.

One after another, extremely loud sounds, like rolling thunder.

Suddenly, there was an explosion.

"You traitors, I am the commander of the Imperial Guards!"

"I have led my army here today to receive the imperial decree and to serve the emperor."

"You have brought a large army here, intending to disobey my orders. Are you planning a rebellion?"

"I now order you to retreat immediately. I will report this to the Emperor, and perhaps he will spare your lives. Otherwise, not only will you die without a burial place, but your families will also be implicated by you!"

The loud voice is like an overwhelming tidal wave.

Breathtaking.

All the troops in the Beijing camp were stunned.

Many soldiers were immediately terrified.

Even Cao Tao's expression changed for a moment, and he felt a little afraid.

"How can the sound be so loud?"

Cao Tao was terrified. At that time, the Beijing army was more than a hundred meters away from the city wall of Naluo County.

With such a long distance, it is very difficult to hear clearly even if you shout across the air.

Not to mention the sound was so loud.

It's really terrifying.

And now on the city wall.

Ye Chen put down the bamboo tube in his hand.

There was a thick line connected to the bottom of the bamboo tube, which extended beyond the city wall.

Not only him, but the row of imperial guards standing behind him also held bamboo tubes in their hands.

Before, he wasn't the only one making the noise.

These people are also shouting loudly.

There was a bamboo tube connected to the other end of the line, but it was shot out of the city by an arrow.

At this time, it was almost dark and not many arrows had been shot.

It was not discovered by the people from the Beijing camp for the time being.

"Keep shouting, shout louder. I'm going to keep those people outside the city from getting any rest tonight."

Although, there are also soldiers in the city who can hear these sounds.

But the source of the sound was outside the city wall after all, and it was directed at the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

Besides, Ye Chen could send the troops in batches to the residential areas in the south of Luo County to rest.

The troops outside the city had to set up camp on the spot.

Unless Cao Tao could attack the city immediately, the Beijing army would have to endure these noises.

Ye Chen did this to continue to shake the morale of the Beijing camp.

And it really worked.

The troops of the Beijing camp began to retreat very quickly, and they set up camp on the spot after retreating more than 200 meters.

Cao Tao was startled by the sound, but he was also worried about the many soldiers and horses hiding in Luo County.

He was also a little weak.

He sent out more scouts to gather information.

However, when Ye Chen saw that the army of the Beijing camp had retreated, he did not completely relax. Instead, he immediately led his troops into Luo County and sent heavy troops to guard the two city gates of Luo County.

He also sent out many scouts.

This was to drive away the scouts sent by the enemy so that the soldiers could continue shooting arrows and shoot more bamboo tubes out of the city.

In short, the noise cannot stop.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Di Gui. He will arrive here in six hours at most."

"Ah."

Ye Chen nodded and stood on the city wall. He didn't plan to sleep that night.

And outside the city walls.

In a temporary camp.

Cao Tao frowned as he looked at the bamboo tube and thick string brought to him by the scout.

"It's this thing that carries the sound from the county town.

? ”

Cao Tao couldn't believe it.

Can bamboo tubes be used like this?

"Damn it, there must not be many people in Luo County!"

Cao Tao gritted his teeth again. If the number of people in Luo County was really so large that a random roar could be heard hundreds of meters away, then why would he need these bamboo tubes?

But he still could not send troops immediately because the bamboo tube alone could not convince the officers in the Beijing camp.

At this time, the morale of the army had been shaken.

Cao Tao also understood that the officers in the Beijing camp would probably not obey his orders until the scouts had thoroughly found out how many troops were in Luo County.

"No matter how you hide it, I'll be able to find out by tomorrow at the latest."

Cao Tao knocked the table hard, and his eyes became as sharp as a knife.

No matter how hard they tried to cover it up, the traces of the army's march could not be faked.

Even if there is a tactic of increasing or reducing the number of stoves, where can a large number of troops be mobilized outside the capital?

Cao Tao not only sent scouts to investigate the surrounding areas, he also sent people to the capital.

As long as he waits for the people in the capital to come back and confirm that the imperial guards have not been transferred away, he will have an idea of ​​how many troops are there in Luo County.

By then, the officers in the Beijing camp will naturally feel relieved.

So he waited patiently.

The next morning.

It's just dawn.

After a sleepless night, Cao Tao finally waited for the scouts returning from the capital.

"General, the imperial guards in the palace haven't been reduced much."

The scout said so.

"Okay! Inform all officers of this news!"

Cao Tao showed a sneer on his face and immediately stood up from the bed.

He wore armor all night.

He strode out of the tent.

"Pass on my orders. Spread the news our scouts have gathered to all the troops. There are not many soldiers in Luo County. After the entire army has reviewed it, we will immediately launch a powerful attack. This time, whoever can capture the leader of this bandit army will be rewarded handsomely by this general!"

At Cao Tao's command, the soldiers of the Beijing camp walked out of the camp, formed square formations, and rushed towards the county town not far away.

And just then.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, bursts of shrill war drum sounds rang out.

Cao Tao opened his eyes wide and immediately saw thick smoke rising from the distant sky.

A cavalry suddenly appeared. They were arranged in an orderly manner, but they were like a dark wave rushing from the horizon!
