Chapter 709: Seizure of Power and Counterattack (7)

In front of the gate of Li Zhong's mansion, there is a large square, where the other party has built a temporary fortification, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Li Xun has no choice but to lead the army to attack, and the speed cannot be slow, at most within two quarters of an hour, to solve the battle, otherwise when the forbidden soldiers from other cities arrive, it will really be the general trend.

Tonight, rescuing Li Zhong is definitely the top priority, as long as Li Zhong is rescued, many problems can be solved, and the situation of the entire coup d'état will also usher in a major turning point.

For example, Jin Wuwei.

Jin Wuwei is mainly responsible for security and patrol in the city, only because the forbidden army entered the city, and there was the order of the prince, they all returned to the Jin Wuwei Yamen, and temporarily handed over the rights and responsibilities that belonged to them to the 50,000 forbidden army, but their strength should not be underestimated, and it was very important, and the entire Jin Wuwei Yamen had nearly 20,000 soldiers.

Just after successfully obtaining the military power of the Inspectorate, Li Xun immediately sent people to Jin Wuwei, hoping that they could come and join forces with him to quell the coup together, Li Xun's request was categorically rejected by Xia Wenkai, the general of Jin Wuwei, his reason is very simple, it was the order issued by the prince himself, let him lead the Jin Wuwei soldiers back to the headquarters, all responsibilities were handed over to the forbidden army, no unauthorized action without an order, if there is no prince's edict or the prince himself is present, Xia Wenkai said that Jin Wuwei will not take any action.

Xia Wenkai's categorical refusal shows a position that in this coup, he will remain neutral and no one will help.

Someone suggested retreating into Li Zhong's mansion to enhance the depth of defense, the deputy general hesitated again and again, and finally rejected this proposal, the sword has no eyes, if in the melee, Li Zhong has three long and two short, then the matter is big, even if he repel the enemy, he will not escape death.

Li Zhong's importance is not actually him, his prestige may be unmatched in the whole world, but this is not the root of Zhao He's jealousy.

Zhao He's protection and courtesy to Li Zhong is not only a manifestation of emotion, but in the end, it is the Anbei military group represented by Li Zhong behind him, don't forget, Li Zhong's eldest son Li Wei is in the north of Longyou, once something happens to Li Zhong, this will cause the collective anger and hatred of the entire Anbei army of nearly 200,000 troops, when the time comes, Li Wei will be able to use the influence left by his father to quickly grasp the military and political power of the entire Anbei, and then, or revenge his father, or get rid of traitors for the country, or seek justice for the prince, Li Wei had too many reasons to send troops.

More than 200,000 elite border troops entered the pass, even if Zhao He succeeded in the coup, he was not yet in his name, in a short period of time, he had no ability or qualification to mobilize forces from all sides, when the time came, what would he do to resist Li Wei's big move?

There is only one final ending, that is, the world is in chaos and the country is torn apart, this kind of result and loss is what Zhao He absolutely does not want to see and want.

Therefore, although Li Zhong's existence is a huge potential threat, Zhao He still does not dare to take any overly strong measures against him, so he can only put him under house arrest and prevention.

The battle has begun.

Whether it was pretentious or really ready to work hard, Li Xun rushed to the front, followed by Jiang Daxiong, Zou Meng, Yan Yi and others.

In order to stimulate the morale of the whole army, Li Xun can only fight, if he is afraid of death and cowering, he can exchange for the hope of living, Li Xun doesn't care about any reputation, compared with fame and life, in Li Xun's opinion, it is simply worthless, but at this moment, Li Xun has no way to retreat, and if he does not succeed, he will become a benevolent, it can only be a dead end, in this case, what is terrible?

"Shoot!"

The commander of the forbidden army waved his big hand, and in a loud roar, two hundred archers fired a volley, and hundreds of arrows rained rapidly.

Although Yan Yi and Jiang Daxiong were on the left and right to help protect them, under the rain of arrows, Li Xun was still shot in the shoulder.

The intense pain made Li Xun's whole body tremble, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Brother Dog, let's rush in front, you just follow behind."

Yan Yi and Jiang Daxiong shouted when they saw that Li Xun was injured.

Li Xun's pace only paused slightly, and then he gritted his teeth, said nothing, and continued to rush forward, still rushing to the front of the line.

Now is the time to make a big move, if he has any weakness and retreat, I am afraid that the morale of the officers and men of the whole army will be greatly damaged, and at the critical moment, Li Xun must not let this happen.

Jiang Daxiong didn't say much, but sped up his speed, half a body ahead of Li Xun, and blocked in front of him.

Liu Hu, who was a little behind, saw that Li Xun was so brave, his heart was lifted, and his pace of progress suddenly accelerated a lot, and he even brandished his weapon and shouted loudly: "Brothers, rush with me." ”

Li Xun's order may not be nothing, but as soon as Liu Hu's words came out, the thousand soldiers under his command immediately responded one by one, shouting and speeding up the pace of advancement.

The two sides soon fought together, and this 2,000 forbidden soldiers, whose combat effectiveness was not weak, under the reasonable command of the adjutant general, relied on the fortifications and successfully held Li Xun and others, and the fierce charge.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, the two sides have fought fiercely until now, the casualties are huge, the number of people is more than five hundred, but neither side is about to be defeated, if it continues like this, it will not take half an hour, I am afraid that it will not be able to tell the winner or loser, the forbidden army naturally does not matter, the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for them, and the forbidden army in other urban areas, I am afraid that it will arrive soon.

The current situation is that Li Xun's side has an advantage, and as time goes by, this advantage will become bigger and bigger, and then finally win, but at this time, Li Xun has become more and more anxious in his heart, and there is a sense of oppression that a catastrophe is coming.

Li Xun raised his eyes and looked around, and then keenly found that because of geographical reasons and the fact that the number of belligerents was not too many, the two sides had fallen into a melee at this time, and with a sweep of his eyes, Li Xun saw that the battle area where Liu Hu was located was less than twenty meters away from the main general of the opposing forbidden army.

"Liu Hu, capture the thief and capture the king first, kill the other party's main general, and they will be finished."

Li Xun raised his throat and yelled loudly with all his strength.

Hearing Li Xun's voice, Liu Hu was slightly distracted, glanced around, and sure enough, he saw that the other party's main general was less than twenty meters away, and the number of people around him was not much, only about two hundred.

Liu Hu immediately ordered left and right, led more than 100 people, rushed out of the battle group, and rushed straight to the opponent's main general.
