Chapter 1022: The two armies confronted each other outside the city
At this time, less than three miles away from the east gate of Chang'an City, on an empty plain.
Because there was no news from the palace for a long time, Hou Junji led more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Right Jin Wuwei to march towards the east gate of Chang'an City according to the established plan discussed by Emperor Li Yuan and him earlier.
This time, he was ready to exercise the second set of plans to break through Chang'an City and enter the palace to admonish the soldiers, in order to respond to the actions of the Emperor Taishang in the palace.
But less than three miles away from the east gate of Chang'an City, the team stagnated, and it seemed that there was an obstacle ahead.
"Report ......"
The scout in front of him reported to Hou Junji, who was sitting in the middle army, and shouted: "Report to Lu Guogong, there is an army led by Helan Qiaoshan, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, in front of me, to block our way and prevent our army from moving forward by half a step. ”
"Helan Bridge Mountain?"
Hou Junji sat on the horse and raised his hand, tightened the reins suddenly, and scolded gloomily on his face: "Helan Qiaoshan, this bastard dares to block my way, is this guy going to rebel?" ”
At the same time, there were two lieutenants of the right Jin Wuwei on the left and right of Hou Junji, Xu Xiangbiao, the left deputy general of the left Jin Wuwei, and Zheng Baozhong, the right deputy general of the left Jin Wuwei.
And behind Hou Junji, there were also six leading captains of Zuo Jin Wuwei riding horses to accompany him.
Everyone stopped their horses one after another, and after listening to the report of the scout Tanma and listening to Hou Junji's cursing, the two left and right lieutenants glanced at each other, their faces suspicious.
The six leading captains were talking in a low voice, all with stunned expressions.
Hou Junji was nowhere to get out of the evil fire in his stomach, and as soon as he found the clues of a few people behind him, he immediately threw down his face and scolded: "Shut up for me, and then discuss it in private, behead!" ”
With that, he raised his horsewhip and shouted at the scout: "Lead the way, and General Ben will personally meet this ungrateful bastard of Helan Qiaoshan for a while!" ”
After the words fell, Hou Junji had already whipped his horse and galloped out and galloped to the front of the formation.
Xu Xiangbiao, the deputy general on the left, and Zheng Baozhong, the deputy general on the right, shouted in unison: "Let's go, I'll go to the front of the battle to have a look." ”
The six leading captains behind him were naturally not far behind and chased forward one after another.
After a while, several people followed Hou Junji to the front of the battle.
A hundred steps away in front of the formation, there is already a banner waving, the drums are shaking the sky, and when you raise your eyes, you can see people and horses moving quickly left and right everywhere a hundred steps away, as if they are arranging troops.
"A long snake formation?"
Xu Xiangbiao, the deputy general of the left, blurted out subconsciously: "It seems that General Helan is determined to intercept our army's way." ”
"Yes, if that's the case, it's not good."
Zheng Baozhong, the right deputy general, smacked his lips and muttered: "Our right Jin Wuwei is equivalent to the strength of their left Jin Wuwei, and the long snake formation is only defended and not attacked, and the defensive force is maximized." If our army wants to break through the formation and then enter Chang'an City, I am afraid that even if it can get away with breaking the opponent, it will kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800. At that time, there will be nothing to do when you enter Chang'an City. ”
"yes, yes......"
"Vice General Xu, Vice General Zheng, is reasonable."
"What can I do?"
The six leading lieutenants seconded the meeting in the back and sighed.
"Shut up!"
Hou Junji casually waved his horsewhip behind him, hitting the armor of a young captain, making a crisp snapping sound, and then scolded everyone with a heavy face: "Does General Ben need you to remind him?" Could it be that I don't even know a word of the long snake formation? If there is anyone who shakes the heart of the army, cut it! ”
After saying that, he shouted at the scout in front of him: "You go and call the battle, let Helan Qiaoshan come out and answer with General Ben!"
"Whoa!"
Soon, the scout Tanma went and returned, and Le Ma stopped and replied: "Yulu Guogong, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, Helan Qiaoshan, has reached fifty steps in front of the battle, and he wants to talk to the general. ”
"Hmph, this ungrateful dog mongrel really has the face to come to see General Ben."
Hou Junji stepped on the stirrup suddenly, rode forward and said: "I will go here to meet him, I want to ask why he dares to block a certain way." ”
Hou Junji left, Xu Xiangbiao and Zheng Baozhong raised the reins in their hands in unison, and led six leading captains to catch up.
In front of the battle, Helan Qiaoshan Golden Helmet was sitting on a horse, holding a spear in his hand, and was looking at Hou Junji without saying a word.
And Hou Junji waved the horsewhip in his hand angrily, shouting and scolding: "Helan Qiaoshan, are you going to rebel? ”
As soon as Helan Bridge Mountain Hands spread out, he stuck his spear upside down on the ground, sat on the horse and shook his head, and said, "Lu Guogong, you are the one who wants to rebel, right?" ”
Hou Junji's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he said secretly, it seems that this guy already knows what happened in the palace at this time.
Immediately, he had to sneer twice and asked: "Helan Qiaoshan, you were picked up by me, without my Hou Junji, how can you have the glory and wealth of your Helan family today?" Withdraw quickly, remember your former loyalty, Hou can not blame you for what you have done today. In the future, I will promise you a fortune. How is it? ”
Helan Qiaoshan was still shaking his head, and replied loudly: "Lu Guogong, how can the broken mirror be reunited?" Even if we are reunited, there are cracks, and we can't go back. If I withdraw and let go today, hehe, tomorrow will be the day when my Helan family will fall into a state of no return. It's not been a day or two since I dealt with Lu Guogong, your killing is decisive, how can Helan Qiaoshan forget? ”
Hou Junji was so angry by Helan Qiaoshan's soft gun that he almost jumped like thunder, and roared angrily: "Helan Qiaoshan, don't you remember my kindness to you in the past, and really want to be that ungrateful?" Are you determined to fight me to the end today? ”
"Haha, Lu Guogong's words are wrong!"
Helan Qiaoshan laughed and said: "It's not so much your kindness to me, it's better to say that you and I are using each other." As for being determined to fight you to the end, that's not true. Because, I, Helan Qiaoshan, eat Li Tang's official stipend, and I have to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty, if I really let you pass, then I, Helan Qiaoshan, will be disloyal and unfilial. Loyalty to Datang and loyalty to His Majesty is what I should do in Helan Qiaoshan. ”
"Okay, well, since you don't withdraw from the battle, then today I won't blame me for not remembering the old feelings."
Hou Junji gritted his teeth and sneered: "What kind of goods are you Helan Qiaoshan, how can I Hou Junji not know?" I'm going to see how you've grown. Hey, today, I'm going to break the long snake formation of you. ”
After saying that, Hou Junji turned the horse's head and shouted at the people around him with his arms: "Generals, captains, and listen to the generals' orders." Quickly assemble their respective troops and follow the general into the city. ”
"Hou Junji, a rebellious minister and thief, do you really want to rebel to the end?"
A deep but sharp voice came from behind Hou Junji, so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
Because this voice was too familiar to him, he stabilized his body and turned his head to look back, his pupils dilated instantly, and he was shocked in his heart, why did he come?
The person who came was the most feared and jealous of the Tang Dynasty military god in his life - Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo.
Li Jing is dressed in chain mail, holding a horse lance, also known as the golden-topped jujube yang lance, sitting on a horse with silver hair flying, slowly galloping from the army, stationed on the side of Helan Bridge Mountain, with a majestic demeanor, like a god descending to earth.
"It turned out to be the Duke of Weiguo!"
"It's Lao Shuai, it's Li Lao Shuai!"
"Gong Wei is here, what can I do?"
Suddenly, the left and right lieutenants who followed Hou Junji's side and the six leading captains who were gathered around him changed their faces suddenly, and they were cold and weak, and they began to discuss with each other.
Bang!
Li Jing paused the horse lance in his hand on the ground, raised his arm and pointed at Hou Junji's side, and roared like a bell: "Li Jing is here, who dares to rebel?" Hou Junji, if you don't get off the horse and surrender quickly, when he returns to His Majesty, he will intercede for you in front of the king and spare your life! ”
