Chapter 969: The Forbidden Palace Counterattacks (Part II)
Silence, noise, two very different environments are really happening among the rebels.
The soldiers in the distance were set on fire all over their bodies, crying, screaming, and crying of helplessness, which made people's hearts tug to hear.
The corpses in the vicinity were shattered, and the tragic death of the soldiers made everyone nearby tremble and fall silent. 、
"Cannon!" Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said hatefully. Only a cannon can smash all the soldiers on a line to pieces.
Now it's okay, the forbidden army blocked the gate with cannons, and the fire behind it is about to spread, and there is no way to advance or retreat, can you only wait for death? He suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and rebelled? Now it looks like a joke!
What made him feel unwilling was that he was a wise man, and he actually followed the wrong person in such an important matter as rebellion!
Li Shimin is so eloquent and strategic, he carefully planned before the rebellion, or he did not move, and he completely rebelled when he moved, leaving no details.
But what about Li Chengqian? Breakfast was like a joke. I didn't discuss it with myself, and I was self-righteous and let Zhao Jie lead the troops to rebel.
When your father launched the Xuanwumen Rebellion, the generals around him all died Cheng Biting Jin, Li Tao, and Wei Chigong at this level, when you rebelled, you only relied on Zhao Jie and Li Yuanchang? Even he didn't know it, this is the naked gap! Even if there is a thunderbolt!
"General Hou! What's wrong? Why don't you go out? Zhao Jie and Li Yuanchang ran over with sweat on their heads.
Their faces were already smoky black, revealing only a row of teeth that were not very white, and they looked as embarrassed as they were.
The most important thing is that they were frightened by the fire behind them, and they left behind everything that plotted against them, and now they only think about how to escape.
"You can go out and try it." Hou Junji said expressionlessly.
As soon as Zhao Jie heard this, he fryed, and at the moment of life and death, he didn't care about Hou Junji's face, and complained directly: "General Hou, didn't you dare to go out after you wasted a thunderbolt and blew up a door?" Afraid of being burned by the fire on the door? Hum! Amusing! ”
Hou Junji's face suddenly became gloomy, he knew that the rebellion had reached this point, the opportunity and the advantage of troops did not exist, the rebellion was almost just a joke, since it had failed, death was a matter of time. He is not afraid of losing his head, but he is annoyed by being humiliated by a fool like Zhao Jie!
"Bastard! You repeat! Hou Junji pulled out the saber on his waist, clamped it directly around Zhao Jie's neck, and said angrily: "It's a fool like you that we will be in the current situation." Conspiracy? Is it worthy of a half-person like you? It's a joke! The most ridiculous thing is that I actually did it with your batch of waste! Hum! ”
The knife approached his neck a little closer, leaving a faint blood mark on Zhao Jie's neck.
The knife was on his neck, Zhao Jie finally restrained a little, he is not a person who sees death as home, it is okay to slap the horse in front of the prince, and he wants him to die...... It can't be done.
"General Hou, if you have something to say, say it well, the top priority now is to rush out, not to do your own people here." Li Yuanchang wiped the sweat on his head and persuaded between the two.
Hou Junji glanced at Li Yuanchang, slowly put away the sword in his hand, and said coldly to Zhao Jie: "Zhao Jie, if you are not afraid of death, go out, no one will stop you." ”
When Zhao Jie heard this, he immediately coaxed, shrunk his neck, wiped a handful of blood on his neck, and was stunned and didn't dare to go out.
Soon he also noticed the broken corpses on the ground, and exclaimed that he was suddenly honest, and he understood why Hou Junji was reluctant to go out.
"There are cannons outside against here, there is only one way to get out, and there will be a certain price!" Hou Junji thought about it and said in a low voice.
The other two people looked at Hou Junji blankly and asked, "What's the solution?" ”
"Fill a path with human life!" After a pause, he continued: "The cannon is very powerful, but there are two disadvantages, first, the close-range cannon can't hit the ground, we can go out on our stomachs.
Second, it takes a while after the cannon is fired to get a second shot, so we can use this gap to rush out, choose whichever one you choose, and you can do it yourself! ”
"Of course it's the first one!" Zhao Jie shouted: "Since the cannon can't hit the ground, let's go out on our stomachs, it's better than being hit by the cannon if we can't figure out the situation, right?" ”
Hou Junji nodded: "I think so too, let the soldiers prepare, let's go out on our stomachs, and immediately launch a counterattack from the side after we go out, otherwise we don't have a chance!" ”
The fire in the courtyard was getting bigger and bigger, and it was about to burn to this side, and the other two had nothing to hesitate, so they immediately arranged for the soldiers to divide them into two teams and lie on the ground and walk through the doorway.
Sure enough, the soldiers walked through the door hole on their stomachs, and the artillery was helpless against them, and it is estimated that the people outside did not expect that the rebels inside would come out in such a posture of lying on their stomachs.
However, since the two sides are in a hostile state, it is not the point of how the other side came out, the focus is on how to destroy the other party.
The rebels came out on their stomachs, and although they dodged the artillery, they could not avoid the rain of arrows. Li Tao gave an order, and countless arrows rained down from the sky. The rebels lying on the ground were equivalent to living targets, pierced into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
Even so, the rebels behind are still dying, scrambling to get out of it, drill out, and have a chance to live, stay inside, there is only one way to die!
"Ahh Zhao Jie screamed, he had just drilled less than a meter through the doorway, and he was shot by a rain of arrows, and more than a dozen arrows were pierced up and down his body, and he fell to the ground and twisted indiscriminately.
Hou Junji came out from behind him, a little lucky, he only hit four or five arrows, and they were not critical, they were just tickles for him, so it was no big deal, he glanced at Zhao Jie indifferently, and then flashed to the side, out of the range of the arrow rain.
Zhao Jie was hit by so many arrows, although he couldn't die at once, but it was only a matter of time before he died, and the amount of bleeding on his body couldn't support it for two hours.
"Hou Junji!" Li Tao said loudly: "Come down!" Maybe Your Majesty will remember your past merits and treat you lightly! ”
"Lightly haired?" Hou Junji sneered as if he was self-deprecating: "Li Tao, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, do you think I will need this kind of mercy to repay my life?" ”
Li Tao shook his head, pointed behind him, there were five or six thousand people, and pointed to the sides, there were more than three thousand soldiers wearing leather wallets and helmets, waiting for the battle. Not to mention the rebels, even a small mosquito wants to fly out, and it is estimated that it is enough to choke. "You don't have a chance."
"Hahahaha!" Hou Junji suddenly grinned and laughed loudly: "There is no chance!" I, Hou Junji, still have self-knowledge, and if I accept so many of your generals, Lao Tzu is not a loss! It's crazy to kill into the palace! But...... Li Tao, do you think I will surrender? ”
Seeing Hou Junji's resolute gaze, Li Tao frowned, he didn't have much affection for Hou Junji, he just felt unworthy for him, since he already had the idea of dying, there was no need to persuade him again and again. He has already said what should be said, and it is not in vain that the two of them have been officials in the same dynasty for so many years, and he has done his best to be benevolent and righteous.
"General Hou, since that's the case...... Please! ”
Hou Junji nodded, he is a general, he once shed blood for the Tang Dynasty, created a foundation, helped His Majesty ascend the throne, pacified the vassal country, made countless blood and sweat contributions, and died in battle, it is indeed his best explanation to himself!
"Come on! Li Tao! After all these years, I can finally compete with you! Hou Junji pulled out the knife at his waist and smiled heartily. The guards behind him also drew their weapons, and they looked at death as if they were home!
"Wait!" A not very harmonious voice suddenly sounded, and then, a large net fell from the sky, covering Hou Junji firmly.
"Your Majesty has an order, capture the traitor alive!" Chen Fei's appearance was accompanied by a large net large enough to cover six or seven people......
