Chapter 966: The Prince's Rebellion (Part II)
"Your Majesty, can the Praetorian Guards in the palace be equipped with thunderbolts?" In the hall, Chen Fei couldn't sit still and threw out this sharp question.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "It is not equipped." ”
At this moment, the originally calm generals finally made some commotion, "Your Majesty, if the Praetorian Guards in the palace are not equipped with thunderbolts, I am afraid they are not the opponents of the rebels outside!" Cheng Yanjin stood up and said.
He is familiar with the power of thunderbolts, relying on the black and autumn-free things, so many surrounding countries are terrified, not to mention this small palace gate, even a city can be overturned.
"Humph! I also know that the problem now is that I can't mobilize the thunderbolts. Li Shimin said stupidly.
"Your Majesty, now I don't regret it, I remember that last time His Majesty called a few cannons to the palace, I don't know if it's still in the palace?" Chen Fei asked anxiously. Time is money, and there's no time to waste.
Fortunately, Li Shimin once got a few cannons from the strange workshop and put them in the palace, which was called guarding the door. Therefore, it is not considered that there are no weapons to use at this time.
"Your Majesty, the rebels are attacking from many city gates, and the minister suggests that the generals present lead the forbidden army to defend against the rebels. Thunderbolt... Let's fight with cannons! The range of the cannon is long, and the thunderbolt can't reach the front! Chen Feifei quickly gave a suggestion, and Li Shimin agreed without thinking too much.
At this time, he can't be allowed to think too much, the sooner he suppresses the rebels, the better, otherwise it will be really difficult to let the rebels enter the Forbidden Palace.
The generals present were all experienced in a hundred battles, and it was naturally not difficult to command the troops to suppress the rebellion, but the headache was how to resist the thunderbolts, and this thing exploded without recognizing people.
Chen Fei is very aware of the weakness of the thunderbolt, which is nothing more than the relative proximity, so he needs to use artillery to block the enemy. There are five Franco cannons in the palace, and the rebels only attack from two city gates, and five cannons are enough for defense!
"Bring cannons, equip the soldiers with bows and arrows, distance yourself from the rebels, and don't be thrown into a thunderbolt by them at close range!" Chen Fei informed the generals of the weakness of the thunderbolt, and the generals knew it and left in a hurry with their men and horses and cannons.
The Xuanwu Gate and the East Palace Gate were breached almost at the same time, and Zhao Jie and Li Yuanchang excitedly entered the palace.
The breach of the palace gates means that the strongest defenses of the palace will not exist. They can drive straight in, and the forbidden army in the palace didn't stop them!
Especially Zhao Jie, the whole person who was excited at the moment was trembling! It's usually because of excitement, half because of nervousness!
He never imagined that one day he would be able to walk into the palace with such a domineering posture. The seemingly sacred, almost mythical one is also a mortal.
As long as the sword in his hand is sharp enough, he can still kill him!
For the first time, Zhao Jie felt that the right came so simply. It's nothing more than sharper than the weapon in whose hand! Whose soldiers are more powerful in their hands!
Now that he has a thunderbolt in his hand, the morale of thousands of soldiers behind him is high, and victory seems to be at hand!
The palace gate is tight? It's just a joke in his eyes at the moment! With five thunderbolts and thousands of soldiers, he has already entered the palace, and as long as he takes a few steps further, the throne is within reach!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jie showed a cruel smile.
Also excited is Li Yuanchang. He never dreamed that he would actually rely on hundreds of works under his command and a few thunderbolts to enter the palace.
Two thunderbolts went down, and the soldiers stationed at the palace gate fled with a wolf howl, this is the defense of the palace? Is this what has scared him for more than ten years?
Human desires are unlimited, and when Li Yuanchang found that everything was close at hand, the greed in his heart was unlimitedly stimulated.
"I am a descendant of the first queen, and I can also inherit the throne!" The idea startled him when it first appeared, but randomness grew like grass in the spring, and it was uncontrollable.
He is no longer satisfied with Li Chengqian sitting on the throne, let him sit on the throne, he is nothing more than a prince, and there are no too practical benefits, it is better to ...... Be your own emperor!
Li Yuanchang's breathing became short, he swallowed deeply, and handed the last thunderbolt in his hand to the hand behind him, "Put things away, don't use them when you encounter the Praetorian Guards, and leave them for the end!" ”
"Yes!" He didn't think much about it, put away this thunderbolt, a strange light flashed in Li Yuanchang's eyes, and then sneered: "Okay! Brothers, follow me into the palace and join Zhao Jie! Let's go straight to the palace! ”………
When Hou Junji came to the Xuanwu Gate, he found that the Xuanwu Gate had been captured, and there was still smoke rolling after the explosion, but the palace gate was empty, except for some stumps and broken arms on the ground, there was no living person.
"It's pretty fast!" Hou Junji sneered, he was not surprised to be able to capture the city gate so quickly. Originally, the palace had been unprepared for a long time, and it was indeed able to catch the other party off guard when it launched a round of onslaught by surprise.
But when the Praetorian Guards in the palace reacted, this might not be the case. He is not like Zhao Jie and Li Yuanchang, who are easily carried away by the victory in front of him.
You know, their opponent is Li Shimin! Most of Datang's territory was fought down by him! He also has a group of veterans who have been through many battles and have a lot of experience, and he must not be careless when dealing with such an enemy.
Let alone...... Hou Junji glanced around, and shook his head secretly, it is really a tiring thing to rebel against such a rookie.
What if the palace gate is not even sealed, and there are reinforcements behind it, or that His Majesty takes advantage of the chaos to run away from another place? Fortunately, everything is going well at present, otherwise Hou Junji would simply lead his troops to quell the rebellion now.
"You two, lead the troops to guard the Xuanwu Gate, remember, no matter what happens, you must defend it to the death! Otherwise, everything is over! Hou Junji assigned 2,000 people to his generals, who were stationed at the Xuanwu Gate, and he led the remaining thousands of soldiers into the palace gate, and soon, they joined Zhao Jie and Li Yuanchang in front.
Unlike Zhao Jie's excitement and Li Yuanchang's excitement, Hou Junji was very calm, and even he felt a trace of fear and uneasiness in his heart. It seems that something bad is going to happen soon.
It shouldn't be! The palace gate has been broken, there is not a single thunderbolt in the palace, there are still ten thunderbolts in his hands, and there are nearly 10,000 soldiers, why do you feel uneasy?
"General Hou!" Zhao Jie smiled and said to Hou Junji: "You see, the Forbidden Palace is in front, and the soldiers are all frightened by the thunderbolt fire in our hands and run away, or it won't be long before the world is the prince's, we will definitely be rewarded according to merit, and even your title can be upgraded to a level, it's hard to say, hehe......"
Hou Junji suddenly changed color after hearing his words, grabbed his shoulder, and asked, "What did you say?" You didn't encounter any soldiers who resisted along the way? ”
"No, I don't. Not a single one. Zhao Jie replied with a smile, not paying attention to Hou Junji's face at all.
Suddenly, a cold arrow flew from an unknown corner, and an arrow hit Zhao Jie's right hand, he screamed, and the thunderbolt fire in his hand fell to the ground in response......
