Chapter 0134. Offensive and defensive, stalemate

Bird peeping Huaqing Palace, now the whole has fallen into a fire, especially from the palace at the top of the four temples one-third of the five peaks, the view is already a fire, the open space square in front of the view has become a sea of torches, and on the road up the mountain, there are constantly black shadows in the light and fire to add that touch of bright red.

Nearly 800 cavalry played a decisive role at this time, under the guidance of the bulldozer general fifty cavalry armor and cavalry, the more than 3,000 rebels of the four or five Zhichong Mansion who had just broken away from the team to attack Wufeng Temple were almost completely dispersed, and the sound of killing in Wufeng Temple was even more shocking, and almost all of the remaining Qianniu Guard forbidden troops were summoned by Li Jie, and the hundreds of Hou troops who had just sneaked up on the back of Wufeng Temple were directly cut into pieces by the angry knife.

Rao is so, after leading Zhang Chao and Wu Meiniang into the Wufeng Temple, Li Jie still looked worried, climbed the Wufeng Platform and looked down, the entire mountain road was full of bright torches, especially in front of the Wufeng Temple, the torches burned fiercely, and the entire army formation stood still, as if crouching where the ancient giant beast was located, which was breathtaking.

"His Royal Highness King Shuo doesn't have to worry too much, at least until now, your plan has been realized, now as long as we hold off Hou Junji's rebels for a while, and drag until the reinforcements arrive, it will be a big deal!"

The flexible and firm voice sounded in his ears, turned his head, looked at Wu Meiniang and nodded to herself very firmly, Li Jie's eyes also flashed a hint of brilliance, yes, leaving Beijing, hiding people, and seizing the crown prince, they have done it, but there are too many rebels!

As soon as he turned around, Li Jie hurriedly pressed Wu Meiniang down and lay down, and Zhang Chao beside him also lay on the ground without a teacher, and the next moment, countless rockets in the sky slid down like meteors, like Wufeng Guan, splashing on the ground like raindrops, and in a round of attacks, I don't know how many Qianniu Guard Forbidden Army were buried in the rain of arrows.

In the center of the rebel array, Du He was full of disbelief, looking at the head full of fear in front of him, a stick of incense before, it was sent by the forbidden army, and a few hours ago, this head was still safely placed on the shoulder of Li Anyan, the deputy leader of the forbidden army.

Thinking back to the rebellion of the prince who had just shouted from the forbidden army, he grabbed the slogan with his hands tied, and his heart beat as if he was suffocated, Du He turned his head with difficulty, looked at Hou Junji with a gloomy face and stumbled and said: "This, so to speak, the prince was really taken away?" ”

Hou Junji still looked at the Huaqing Palace in the distance with such a cold expression, the brilliant fireworks that were still flashing in the night sky were reflected on his face, his beard trembled slightly, Hou Junji replied calmly: "It doesn't matter whether the prince is taken away or not. ”

"Hou Junji, you are bold!" Du He immediately reprimanded him again, but Hou Junji didn't even look at him, he rode his horse directly forward, came to the front of the formation, and shouted at Shang He who was slashing and killing on the side of Wufeng Temple: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is waiting for everyone in front, in order to seal his wife and son, attack!" ”

Another heavy rain of arrows flew down to the burning Wufeng Temple, and I don't know what Hou Junji promised before, everyone in the rebel government was so spiritually fanatical, raised their shields and held their lances and shouted loudly, and rushed over without hesitation to the armored cavalry in the gallop, and, unlike the straggler array just now, this time, the groups of rebels were in formation.

"All the top priorities are to open this path first, as long as you get to the Four Temples, everything will be done." Seeing the army rushing out, Hou Junji turned around and explained coldly, and Du He was immediately dumbfounded.

Finally raised his head from the fireworks, and at first sight saw the cold light flashing in the huge military array, and quickly approached the cavalry, Zhang Chao immediately became anxious, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Qianniu Wei Zuotun Guard, listen to Lao Tzu's order, line up to fight!" ”

"Slow! The lonely king is the commander-in-chief of the Huaqing Palace, and the lonely king orders that all the forbidden troops are stationed in Wufengguan and defend to the death! ”

Li Jie's order immediately made the herald who listened to the order stupid, Zhang Chao immediately exploded, and he didn't know where to throw it away from his usual cold and woody appearance, so he grabbed Li Jie by the collar and shouted: "Your Royal Highness King Shuo, have you ever fought, the cavalry can't run away from this kind of narrow terrain, and you will fight with the group of infantry formations, which is to die!" ”

"General Zhang Lang, pay attention, you are talking to His Royal Highness King Shuo!" Wu Meiniang immediately rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Chao's hand holding Li Jie's collar, and after a pause, Zhang Chao let go and took two steps back, and depressedly tidied up his collar, and Li Jie said slowly.

"So Gu didn't plan to fight hard, and ordered to give medicine to Gro, and let him take his brothers to Songbai to avoid it first." With a wave of his hand, Li Jie's personal herald below immediately saluted with his left hand, and then stepped on the horse and galloped out.

"What, is Zhang Lang going to disobey the holy edict?" Squinting his eyes, Li Jie said slowly, and after a little entanglement, Zhang Chao's face was as constipated as if he was constipated, and he snorted angrily: "Your Highness, I hope you don't regret it." ”

"Order, the forbidden army is stubbornly guarding the Five Peaks Temple, and no battles are allowed!"

The so-called Wufeng Terrace, is to use rammed earth mound on the flat ground to excavate the platform, and then lay bricks, and establish a building pavilion on the towering earth platform, a typical pretending building, but at this time, the fire feathers are flying, and the building pavilion of the wooden building behind it has fallen into the raging fire, and it has become a big torch under the gradually thick night, and the shining radius of one or two miles is like a forest day.

Squatting on the edge of the earthen platform, seeing that on the small square on the right side of Wufeng Temple, a group of cavalry did not fight in the shouting of the Turkic language, stepping on a bloody place and turning their heads like running in the pine forest above, and the large square exposed was quickly occupied by the rebels, watching the gray encroaching on the white, Zhang Chao couldn't help but grit his teeth and stood up again, and with a poof, he knelt on one knee in front of Li Jie and gave a military salute.

"Your Highness, Hou Junji is a famous general, he has lost the square on the right, with the advantage of troops, he can completely besiege the Wufeng Temple from all sides, and even surround the Wufeng Temple and go directly to the Four Temples, Your Highness, it is too late to send troops to stop it now, you can't hesitate!"

This guy is also Li Shimin's die-hard loyalist, waving his hand, Zhang Chao is really exhausted, and his heart is painful, looking at this guy who usually pretends to be cool and anxious like constipation, Li Jie finally couldn't bear to let him be anxious, and as soon as he spread his hands, Li Jie asked rhetorically: "That Zhang Lang general, you tell Gu, how can you rely on less than 3,000 people to line up outside to stop the army of Hou Junji of less than 30,000." ”

"And it's such a small place with nowhere to move?"

"That's a long drag!" Sweaty, Zhang Chao also said with some confidence, Li Jie waved his hand again, and explained impatiently: "You didn't expect these lonely abilities?" The lonely in the woods is already arranged, so just wait and see! ”

"Got setup?" Zhang Chao's big bronze bell-like eyes immediately widened.

At the same time, Hou Junji was also hesitating, originally thought that there would be a bloody battle, but now he gave up the square so easily, will there be an ambush? The other party will not be unaware of the importance of the East Square, how do you think the other party's commander is not like an idiot?

The original plan to continuously attract and consume Qianniuwei in the East Square failed, and he deserved to be a famous general, and there was a decision in an instant, Hou Junji directly ordered viciously and shouted: "Follow up with the Chong Mansion, the forward moves forward slowly, and make a detour to the rear of Wufeng Guan, Helan Chushi, you lead the left army to attack the front of Wufeng Guan, attack on three sides, and use the shortest time to take down Wufeng Guan for the general, rescue the prince, Your Majesty, and kill the rebellious Wei Wangtai!" ”

The will of the main general was quickly transmitted to the entire army, and at the edge of the woods, the hesitant forward army immediately moved forward cautiously as if it had been filled with oil, and the follow-up corps immediately filled the vacant seats in the square, and at the same time, Helan Chushi's left army held a shield and shouted wildly, and once again rushed to the low viewing wall of Wufeng Temple like a tide, and the arrow rain on both sides drew the most brilliant colors in the sky in an instant.

The situation, seeing that the direction towards Li Jie became a little unfavorable, at this time, Li Jie, who had just finished pretending to be forced, couldn't sit still, and he never had time to repair it after breaking it in half.

"Why isn't it ringing? Could it be that these fools didn't have a fire, or was the gunpowder damp? ”

Seeing that Li Jie was restless, Zhang Chao was even more anxious and sweaty, with a thick beard, beads of sweat were dripping down like a faucet, and only Wu Meiniang, who had suddenly become an important person, sat quietly on the side, still very calm.

"King Shuo, no matter how anxious it is, it's useless, let's command the battle ahead with peace of mind."

Wu Meiniang persuaded her softly, but she didn't persuade Li Jie, but Zhang Chao jumped up.

"Your Highness, the subordinates will go to the front to supervise the battle!" Before he finished speaking, this guy had already gone down the stairs, shook his head helplessly, and suddenly a loud bang of pine and cypress behind him almost didn't make Li Jie fall off the stage, and hurriedly turned around.

Only a moment later, the neat military column that had neatly cut into the three Zhichong Mansions of Songbai was in chaos, and there were still sergeants behind who did not know why they were shouting and rushing in, but in front, there were burning raging flames all over their bodies, and the soldiers of the Mansion were fleeing for their lives with arrows and miserable howls, and there were more and more chaotic soldiers, driving the three Zhichong Mansions that followed up with chaos.

"How is this possible? The remaining defenders of Huaqing Palace are obviously gathered here! In the rebel array, Hou Junji was surprised that he almost didn't get off his horse.

"It worked!" slapped his thigh, Li Jie finally breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Chao's beard shook even more, sat on the hot platform, and then jumped up with a hot snort.
