Chapter 250: A Defeat
Xun Mou didn't seem to care about everyone's questions, but became more and more excited, and sneered: "Do you think I really want to lure them to the Kowloon Bridge?" I concluded that Liu Xun's old fox must be heading in the direction of Chongde Gate now, and General Ben had already laid a net over there, just waiting for Liu Xun to throw himself into the net. ”
When they heard this, they looked at each other. The official Shangshu Quanshi said with a smile and gave Xun Mou a thumbs up, "General Xun has already been calculated, and the general is worthy of being a national warrior......
In a hearty laugh, Xun Mou's face showed a little smugness. Xun Mou could have been able to sit in the Xuanzheng Hall to reap the benefits, but looking at everyone's flattering expressions, in order to make everyone more happy and convinced, and he also intended to show his skills, he had an idea to catch Liu Xun alive in person. So Xun Mou dressed up and wiped the knife, led a few deputy generals who were close to him, and went on the horse to support.
When Liu Xun led the troops to Chongde Gate, his face was hesitant, his expression was uncertain, and he felt faintly uneasy.
At this time, on the Chongde Gate, under the illumination of several huge palace lamps, it looks strange and depressed, only to see a few flags scattered on the battlements hanging horizontally and vertically, and there is no half of the soldiers guarding the city. Liu Xun set up a pergola with his hand, went to the city tower to take a closer look, and after confirming that there was no garrison, he was still hesitant in his heart, but now that he had come to this point, there was no way.
Sure enough, Liu Xun's siege team soon broke open the gate of Chongde Gate, and Liu Xun immediately ordered everyone to quickly pass through the urn city. Just as the army entered the urn city, countless archers suddenly flashed on the city wall, all of them had already drawn their bows and arrows at the army under the city.
Liu Xun and the others were so frightened that they didn't have time to give orders, and the convenient arrows on the city tower rained down, and the soldiers under the city fell one after another. After the dense attack of the rain of arrows continued for a while, more than half of Liu Xun's army had been killed and wounded, and there were less than 5,000 people left.
At the end of the arrow attack, Liu Xun's army was able to take a breather, and at this time, the prince's army swarmed out of the city, and it was Xun Mou who rushed to the front first.
Liu Xun's father and son were shocked, at this time there was no other way out except for the bloody battle, Liu Xingzhi slashed left and right with a sword, and Hou Zhigui held a gun in front of Liu Xun's horse to protect him.
Just as the two sides were fighting, Liu Xingzhi saw that his situation was declining, and he had already retreated in his heart, so he fought in front of his father's horse with a sword, and said anxiously: "Father, let's withdraw first." ”
Liu Xingzhi's voice fell, a cold light flashed, and in an instant, the head fell to the ground, and the corpse was bleeding like an infusion, Liu Xingzhi's mount was frightened, and he actually carried the master's body and ran around in the crowd. Liu Xun was already in place at this moment, his face was pale, and when he watched his son's body being carried away by the mount, he shouted heartbreakingly: "Son, ......" followed by tears, and his emotions were already uncontrollable.
Although Hou Zhigui was also stunned, he quickly came back to his senses, and when he looked closely, the murderer was Xun Mou, and he saw him holding the Mo knife horizontally, with a smug smile on his face. Just as Xun Mou was about to slash at Liu Xun's horse with a knife, Hou Zhigui hurriedly stepped forward and held a horizontal gun, and the two sides immediately strangled together.
Liu Xun trembled and turned over and dismounted, picked up his son's head and wept silently.
Although Hou Zhigui was extremely brave, he gradually felt physically exhausted in front of Xun Mou, and shouted while blocking Xun Mou's blade: "Protect the prince and retreat......"
After the three or four guards got the order, they immediately stepped forward to put the prince on the horse, hung Liu Xingzhi's head on the side of the saddle bag, and then one person led the horse, and the other three took cover.
Seeing this at this moment, Xun Mou didn't have the heart to entangle with Hou Zhigui, so he broke off his drink, raised his knife and fell, slashed Hou Zhigui off the horse, and immediately slapped the horse to chase Liu Xun.
Liu Xun and his subordinates were still outnumbered after all, no matter how they rushed to kill, they only felt that the left and right were full of enemy troops, and they did not rush out of the advance, and Xun Mou had already rushed to the back.
Xun Mou couldn't help but say, and with a few swings of a few knives, several guards fell to the ground one after another. Seeing that the left and right guards were killed, Liu Xun turned his horse's head and thought about riding directly out of the crowd, but before he could rush out of the crowd, the enemy troops surrounded him one after another.
In the firelight, the vermilion palace city and the corpse under his feet were reflected more and more red, Liu Xun helplessly raised his head to look at the dark sky, full of resentment but helpless at the moment, he had to look up to the sky and roared: "Where is the sky......"
"Lord Wang......" Xun Mou slapped his horse and flashed out of the crowd, and then sneered, "I can't complain about all this, I can only say that you chose the wrong opponent." ”
Liu Xun calmed down his emotions, even if he was in trouble now, he didn't want to be ridiculed, "You think you are very strong?" ”
"Huh...... Otherwise, you're the one standing here! ”
Liu Xun laughed, "You must be too conceited!" No wonder you were defeated in Lanzhou, and you were buried with tens of thousands of troops because of your conceit. ”
Xun Mou was not angered by this, but became more and more calm, "Hmph! You haven't changed your true colors, but you don't know if you can be so tough when you are dying. Take the traitor away ......"
In the bleak Xuanzheng Palace, the dim candle flame flickered and dimmed, and only the dragon chair directly above the Danqi was still magnificent. On the dragon chair at this time, an old man with unkempt hair and gray beard was reclining, and his expression was stiff all the time. The old man's gloomy and empty eyes, staring at the looming caisson above, the scene of the past was in a trance yesterday, I didn't expect all this to repeat itself on his body, he didn't believe in fate, but at this moment he had to shed tears of fate.
"Boom ......"
The door of the Xuanzheng Hall suddenly opened, and a burst of fire shone into the hall from the outside, and the hall was instantly red, and the biting cold wind also poured into the hall, and the old man's whole body trembled suddenly, but he continued to look at the caisson calmly and motionless.
"Your Majesty!" Standing under the dan was Xun Mou, who was clearly armored, "Look who I brought you." Seeing that Emperor Han was still unmoved, Xun Mou immediately stretched out his hand and clapped his hands three times.
"Let Me Go ......"
Liu Xun, the king of Ning, was pushed and escorted into the hall by two guards with big shoulders and round waists, and saw his father sitting crookedly in the hall, and his eyes were full of tears in an instant, so he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Danqi, "Father...... Hurry up, save me, save me, these thieves actually cooperated with Liu Yan to rebel......"
"Alright!" Emperor Han suddenly stopped, and then sat up slowly, "Can you have a little backbone?" ”
Liu Xun gritted his teeth and tilted his head stupidly.
Xun Mou glanced at Liu Xun disappreciatively, "Lord Wang, look at Your Majesty's courage, and then ......"
"Alright!" Emperor Han interrupted Xun Mou impatiently again, "Now is also the time for Liu Yan to come out to see me." ”
Emperor Han's voice fell, and there was a neatly dressed man outside the palace gate, walking leisurely, followed by several guards who were strong and stubborn.
