Chapter 106: The Turmoil is About to Subside
Outside Changle Palace, Guo Hao's expression became more and more serious.
The death of Liu Hong seemed to cause the fortunes of the Han Dynasty to decline continuously. In a short period of time, the Yulin Guards in front of him were caught in a bitter battle.
He didn't expect that the strength of the Yulin Guards would decline so quickly, and as their strength declined, more and more Yulin Guards began to doubt themselves, falling into a vicious cycle.
But he was helpless. Before dawn, he was a useless person and could only hide in the hall.
Fortunately, it was already late and the sun was about to rise.
He really had no idea who was out there, he had so many powerful generals under his command, and there were almost seven or eight talented legionnaires on the field.
He didn't dare to stick his head out to observe carefully. If he was targeted by the powerful generals outside with his current strength, he would be shot to death with one arrow.
"Why don't we retreat towards Changle Palace!"
Qian Shuo was a little panicked. Liu Hong's death seemed to have drained away all his courage and backbone. This usually brave eunuch behaved like a quail.
"Brothers, hold on! Reinforcements are on the way . These traitors will not be able to have a good death!"
Guo Hao could only boost morale verbally. Military strategist skills to boost morale were not created out of nothing. When everyone was doubting their lives, these military strategist skills would not be effective at all.
Sighing, Guo Hao pulled Qian Shuo, who was trembling beside him, just in time to avoid the hidden arrow shot from a distance.
Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Ding Yuan gathered at the gate of Changle Palace to discuss countermeasures.
If the strength of the Yulin Guard had not begun to decline, they would have run away long ago. How could they still be fighting the Yulin Guard in this damn place?
"Uncle, you have misled us. Why didn't Liu Hong die?" Yuan Shu was very depressed. His men suffered heavy losses. Even his deputy Ji Ling was seriously injured.
The same was true for Yuan Shao. Although he didn't say it, he was extremely resentful of Yuan Huai in his heart.
It was said that Liu Hong would definitely die, and they also said that the assassin was the best assassin . It was simply ridiculous.
"It's almost dawn. The people from the eight schools in Xiyuan should be arriving soon. Should we retreat?"
Yuan Shao was in a dilemma. The people from the Eight Schools of Xiyuan were not easy opponents. If the Yuan family had not caught everyone off guard, they would not have been able to turn the tables in Luoyang.
He didn't know about others, but he was sure that his playmate Cao Cao was already on his way to the palace!
"Never mind, let's retreat. The general should have succeeded! If we are blocked here, we will have no way to defend ourselves!" Yuan Shao made the decision. They were fully prepared to enter the palace this time, and they were sure that no one would recognize them.
The enemies outside Changle Palace retreated like the tide, leaving only the Yulin Guards who looked extremely confused after going through a bloody battle.
Guo Hao looked at Qian Shuo who was trembling beside him, and then looked at the commander of the Yulin Guard who had a look of infinite confusion on his face on the other side.
He knew that this trump card legion was probably useless. Not only had its blessing been destroyed, but most importantly, its morale had been destroyed.
The Yulin Guards lost about one-fifth of their troops, which was not a serious loss at all, but the morale of the legion was gone, and the unit was basically useless.
I'm afraid that from now on, the Yulin Guard can only be regarded as an ordinary imperial guard.
At this moment, a ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon and the day finally brightened.
Guo Hao's aura began to rise continuously, and in the blink of an eye it reached the level of a first-rate general.
"I am General Guo Hao of the Cavalry! You, the Imperial Guards, are the trump cards of the Han Dynasty. You should work hard for the court and help me to quell the rebellion! Eliminate the traitors! You are all meritorious officials!"
The gift of the sun was activated to its maximum extent at this moment , covering all the Yulin guards present.
The originally weak Yulin Guards felt a surge of strength into their bodies. Although it was very weak, it was real.
They couldn't help but focus their eyes on Guo Hao. Guo Hao, who was radiating golden light, was like a god in their eyes, clearing away all their confusion.
They have hope of returning to the top, although it is only a faint hope now.
The quality of the Yulin Guards themselves is absolutely first-rate, and their uninterrupted inheritance makes their training extremely effective, so they have outstanding strength no matter what the situation is.
Coupled with the blessing of national destiny and the will to defend the Han Dynasty, they have always been ranked among the world's most powerful armies.
But first the country's destiny was cut short, then Liu Hong was assassinated under their protection, and finally their strength continued to decline. They finally began to waver and lost their spirit.
"Revenge! Revenge!" Qian Shuo also returned to normal under the sunshine at this moment, his face full of hatred.
It's not only hatred for traitors, but also hatred for one's own weakness and incompetence.
“Revenge… Revenge!”
The slogan of revenge rang out among the Yulin Guards. In the confusion, they found their goal - revenge.
They didn't know who their enemy was, but this was the last straw they could grasp in their confusion.
They fixed their eyes on Guo Hao. The brightness of the sun made them involuntarily place their hopes on Guo Hao. At this moment, Guo Hao was their guiding light.
"Follow me!" Guo Hao waved his hand and rushed out first.
Ding Yuan and his men had already disappeared without a trace, but He Jin's troops were wreaking havoc in the palace.
After He Jin died, they began to plunder gold, silver and treasures crazily without anyone to restrain them.
The eunuchs who wanted to stop them were hacked to death, and countless eunuchs fell in a pool of blood.
The soldiers, who were blood-thirsty, seemed to be possessed by the devil. Whenever they saw someone, they would rush over and start hacking and killing them. When they saw gold, silver and treasures, they would scramble for them frantically, and even fight each other.
The originally magnificent and solemn imperial palace seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.
"Kill them all! They are traitors and deserve to die!" Guo Hao looked at He Jin's soldiers who had gone crazy in front of him and directly gave the order to massacre.
The Yulin Guards were already holding a grudge, and now they were taking it out on He Jin's men. It might be more appropriate to call them robbers now.
The huge gap in strength made the Yulin Guards start mowing the enemy down directly.
The throwing of the central army and the bows and arrows of the rear army directly broke down the defense line of the soldiers who were burning, killing and looting. The Yulin Guards of the front army dispersed into groups, and each group of Yulin Guards swept with their spears, bursting out with astonishing power.
Many soldiers who were hit by the spears were directly broken into two, and a blood mist sprayed in the air.
With just one charge, all the bandits within sight were killed, and there was no casualty among the Yulin Guards.
The familiar act of mowing the grass brought the Yulin Guards back to their old self. They felt that their lost strength was returning.
"Gather a hundred people into groups and kill all the rioters in the palace!"
In troubled times, severe punishments were required. Guo Hao had no time to determine whether the mistakes these people made required death or not, so he directly issued an order to kill them all.
