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

The night was dark.

In the capital, on the street where the Supervisory Office was located, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

Cao Chang's private soldiers strode towards the Supervisory Office. These people were all wearing soft armor and night clothes, and they maintained a stable formation even when running fast.

In addition to these people, there were other people from the martial arts world who were also wearing soft armor, but not uniformly wearing night clothes and only wearing masks, so the formation looked a bit messy.

However, these people from the underworld automatically stayed on both sides of Cao Chang's private soldiers, as if to guard the two wings of Cao Chang's private soldiers.

The gate of the Supervisory Office was already closed at this time.

There were people from the Inspectorate standing on the walls and tall buildings.

These people drew their bows and aimed at the crowd running towards them.

"Damn it! Kill these bastards!"

"Fuck him!"

Arrows flew through the air swiftly.

Most of the people in the Supervisory Department are gangsters.

But there were also some imperial guards, and it was Tuoba Lieye who organized the people from the Supervisory Office to defend at this moment.

Tuoba Lieye raised a longbow and quickly shot arrows, killing ten people in an instant.

Very quickly, someone from among Cao Chang's private soldiers who were rushing over drew his bow and arrow and started shooting.

At the same time, these people also raised their iron shields one by one.

Cao Zhang's soldiers simply put their shields together tightly, forming a tortoise shell shape, and kept advancing at a steady pace, while those people from the martial arts world just raised their shields randomly, shrank behind the shields, and did not cooperate, resulting in many casualties.

"Zheng!"

Loud noises suddenly rang out.

Tuoba Lieye's face changed suddenly.

"Crossbows! Get out of the way!"

As soon as Tuoba Lieye finished speaking, an arrow had already been nailed to the wall not far from him.

If the wall had not been built in two layers and filled with soil in the middle, this arrow would have been enough to pierce it.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of arrows broke through the air and rushed towards the city wall like a dense rain of arrows.

"Raise your shields, raise your shields, get off the wall, get off the wall!"

Tuoba Lieye roared.

He was very clear about the power of the crossbows officially produced by Dayu. Even if the target was hundreds of meters away, the crossbow could accurately hit the target. Even an iron shield might not be able to block such penetrating power.

When Cao Chang's private soldiers were no longer harassed by arrows, they quickened their pace and ran to the gate of the Supervisory Office, then suddenly dispersed.

Immediately afterwards, someone came running up carrying a battering ram.

"Bah!"

The battering ram was used only once.

The gate of the Supervisory Office was dented.

If the gate had not been made of iron, the battering ram would have broken it down.

Tuoba Lieye and his men were guarding behind the iron gate. He clenched the long spear in his hand, and his head was covered with cold sweat.

But the next moment.

Tuoba Lieye suddenly heard extremely loud shouting coming from outside the Supervisory Office.

"Your Majesty will personally lead the army, and Di Gui will quell the rebellion under your command!"

"In this battle, no one will be left alive!"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Lieye's whole body was shocked, and the supervisory officials following him also had their eyes shining.

A brave yamen runner stuck his head out despite the rain of arrows and immediately saw a large flag standing not far away.

There were people holding torches under the big flag.

In the light of the fire, there was actually a golden dragon painted on the flag.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of people poured into the streets and quickly headed towards Cao Chang's private soldiers and gangsters.

These people were all wearing civilian clothes, but they were all wearing soft armor, and there were a large number of them.

Tuoba Lieye and the yamen runners who were guarding the Supervisory Office were immediately greatly encouraged and their morale was greatly boosted.

However, the next moment, the door of the Supervisory Office was kicked open.

Cao Chang's private soldiers rushed in in groups!

Ye Chen climbed to a high place and looked towards the battlefield.

Then they saw that both sides were already fighting in a group.

Although those who followed Cao Chang's private soldiers had already collapsed under the double-sided attack, Cao Chang's private soldiers showed no signs of retreat.

The leader of the private army immediately organized a group of private soldiers and people from the underworld to cover their retreat, while the remaining private soldiers of Cao Chang all rushed to the Supervisory Office.

"kill!"

Tuoba Lieye raised his long spear, rushed forward and led the hand-to-hand combat.

But no matter how brave he was, and no matter how fearless the more than one hundred yamen runners left behind by the Supervisory Office were, they were forced to retreat again and again.

Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned. He did not transfer the people from the Supervisory Office because he originally wanted to let them hold out for a while and then trap Cao Chang's private soldiers and those gangsters from both sides.

But Cao Chang's private soldiers were much more capable than he had imagined.

Not only are they good at using those excellent weapons, but they are also well organized. When encountering danger, they can save time and assess the situation, make tactical changes quickly, and will not panic immediately.

"Qiu'er, have Xia Ju lead a group of imperial guards to another street to support the guards in the Supervisory Office. Then, transfer half of the guards around me to support Di Gui!"

Ye Chen was a little worried that the bailiffs from the Supervisory Office could not hold on any longer.

There are many people from the martial arts world here, all of whom were recruited by Murong Yan.

Such talents are hard to find.

Although Ye Chen was in the palace, he was able to know the situation in the entire capital city like the back of his hand, thanks to this group of people.

"promise!"

Shen Qiu immediately went down to pass on the order.

The battlefield had already entered a white-hot stage.

The people in the underworld had no organization and no discipline. Although most of the people led by Di Gui were bandits, they had been trained by him for several days and had some skills. They were not at a disadvantage when dealing with these people in the underworld and could quickly gain the upper hand.

But when facing Cao Chang's private soldiers, they could only rely on numbers to push each other and force them to retreat.

The balance of victory is tilting towards Ye Chen.

Just as Xia Ju and his men were about to enter the Supervisory Office, Ye Chen suddenly saw a fire under the attic of the Supervisory Office.

Ye Chen's heart suddenly tightened, but he realized that the other party had set fire!

This is the rhythm of dying together!
