Chapter 849: The Rebellion in Thang Long Mansion (Part II)
"You...... What do you mean? Seeing the head of the guard holding the bloody knife in front of him, Zhao Hao, who had already been paralyzed with fright, said with a frightened face, his brain was so frightened that he wouldn't move now, otherwise he wouldn't have understood what the head of the guard meant.
"As His Royal Highness, if he falls into the hands of the remnants of Jiaozhi, he will be humiliated even if he does not die, so please make a decision as soon as possible, if he surrenders, the last general and others will immediately lay down their weapons, if not, the last general is willing to follow His Highness under the nine springs!" The leader of the guards immediately said with a firm face, and the brothers behind him took more and more takedowns, seeing that the Jiaozhi people were about to rush in front of them.
Hearing the words of the head of the guard, Zhao Hao also showed a tangled expression on his face, when he was in the capital before, he thought he was a gentleman who sacrificed his life for righteousness, but when it came to this kind of life and death, he found that it was not easy to let himself give up his life, especially seeing so many people dying in front of him on the battlefield, which made him full of fear of death.
"Your Highness, time is running out, please make a decision as soon as possible!" The head of the guard looked at the fewer and fewer guards around him, and said to Zhao Hao with an anxious face at the moment, although he is a soldier and knows that surrender is a very shameful thing, but for them, protecting Zhao Hao's life is the first priority, and other aspects are not in their consideration at all.
Hearing the urging of the head of the guard, Zhao Hao was even more undecided, instinctively he naturally wanted to live, but he also knew that if he surrendered, even if he survived in the future, he would definitely make him the laughing stock of the Great Song Dynasty, don't think about the throne, even the little power in his hands now must be handed over, and then live the second half of his life in the ridicule of others, which may be a more serious punishment than death.
However, just when Zhao Hao was undecided, and there were fewer and fewer guards around him, he was about to fall into the hands of the Jiaozhi people. Suddenly, they heard a familiar explosion not far to the east, which was the sound of a grenade. Hearing this voice, Zhao Hao, including everyone around him, was shocked, because grenades were the standard configuration of the Great Song Army, and it was impossible for outsiders to get them, in other words. There must have been a group of Great Song troops from the east, and listening to the sound of grenades, it seems that there are quite a few of them.
Tuo Lin was also startled when he heard the sound of grenades in the east, originally their plan was divided into two parts, the first of which was that Li Gande personally commanded four armies of men and horses to attack the Song army on all sides of the city wall, holding them back, while he led 5,000 men into the city, and then captured Zhao Hao. So in his opinion, it is impossible for the Song army to come to the rescue of Zhao Hao in a short time, but the voice from the east clearly said that a Song army is coming here.
Thinking that Zhao Hao, a boiled duck, might fly away, Tuo Lin immediately became very anxious, and immediately commanded the army to charge forward regardless of casualties, wanting to catch Zhao Hao before the reinforcements arrived. But Zhao Hao and the head of the guards around him were not stupid, and they were all shocked when they heard the sound of the grenade. Even the guards who were already full of death just now burst out with hope of living again, and they were all fighting desperately in high spirits. It was difficult to kill the Jiaozhi people in a single step.
"Boom boom~" Just after the head of the guard held on for a while, they heard a series of grenade explosions again, and this time it was closer, and even saw the fire when the grenade exploded, and the screams of the Jiaozhi people when they were injured, which also made Tuolin not only not divide part of his forces to block the reinforcements of the Great Song Dynasty. But in this way, there were fewer people attacking Zhao Hao's side, and the guards on Zhao Hao's side were all as if they had taken an aphrodisiac, and they did not retreat in the face of more than ten times the enemy, and it was impossible to capture it in a short time.
"Your Highness, don't be afraid. The last general Wang Dan came to the rescue! At this moment, I saw a Song army rushing through the blocking of the Jiaozhi people like a sharp arrow, and it was the army led by Wang Dan.
Speaking of Wang Dan found out that there may be an ambush in the jungle, he immediately prepared for precautions, but in the second half of the night, an army of Jiaozhi remnants was really killed in the jungle, because the sky was too dark, so the number of this army could not be seen for the time being, but Wang Dan estimated from the frequency of the opponent's attack that the number of the other party did not seem to be more than him.
The above discovery made Wang Dan a little strange, although the other party's sneak attack took a big advantage, and he might defeat a powerful enemy with a small number of troops, but through the battle just now, he found that the gang of Jiaozhi people in front of him was a rabble, and with his understanding of Li Qiande, the other party should not be so arrogant that he could destroy himself with just this group of people, and judging from the other party's actions just now, it seems to be more like he is restraining himself.
"Not good!" Thinking that the other party might be trying to contain himself, Wang Dan immediately reacted, because he thought that Zhao Hao's side was likely to be in danger, although he didn't know what method the other party used to bypass them and kill them into the city, but he believed in his own judgment, after all, as long as the other party could catch Zhao Hao, they could only be at the mercy of the other party at that time.
Thinking of the above, Wang Dan immediately divided his troops into two ways, all the way to stay here and continue to play with the Jiaozhi people who harassed them, and the other part was led by him personally into the city, as a result, not far from the camp, the city suddenly became a mess, and the enemy troops who came out of nowhere were slashed everywhere, although the focus of their attack was the military camp of the high commander, but there were also some chaotic troops who killed into the homes of those ordinary Jiaozhi people in Thang Long Mansion, and for a time the whole city was full of fire and wailing.
Seeing this situation, Wang Dan didn't dare to delay, and rushed forward desperately with people, hoping to find Zhao Hao as soon as possible, but they didn't go well along the way, because the sky was too dark, the road was not good, and the chaotic army that came out from time to time made them move forward very slowly.
With the help of the torches on the battlefield, Wang Dan saw at a glance Zhao Hao and others who were surrounded by the Jiaozhi rebels, and saw that they were still resisting, which made him even more happy.
"The last general's rescue is late, so His Highness is frightened!" Wang Dan commanded his subordinates to protect Zhao Hao's people, and then strode to Zhao Hao to hold his fists, but he was secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he arrived in time and did not let Zhao Hao fall into the hands of the Jiaozhi people, otherwise this matter would have broken the sky.
Zhao Hao just took a turn in front of the ghost gate, thinking that even if he didn't die, he would suffer humiliation, but he didn't expect to turn around at a critical moment, in his eyes, the current Wang Dan can be compared with the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, so when he saw Wang Dan, he was also very excited and said: "Wang ...... General Wang doesn't have to be polite, quickly protect this king and kill it! ”
Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Wang Dan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, now that it is dark and you can't see the surrounding situation clearly, you may encounter unknowable dangers if you rush out, now that we have a lot of people, and there is the City Lord's Mansion not far away, so the last general feels that it is safer to kill back to the City Lord's Mansion, and after Commander Cao makes them hear the shouts and killings in the city, they will definitely come to the rescue as quickly as possible, and these Jiaozhi rebels will definitely retreat at that time!" ”
Before, the head of the guards around Zhao Hao advised him to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, but he just didn't listen, and now he heard that Wang Dan also suggested staying in the City Lord's Mansion, which made Zhao Hao finally understand how stupid his previous decision was, so he didn't be stubborn this time, but nodded in agreement with Wang Dan's decision.
Seeing that Zhao Hao agreed, Wang Dan immediately commanded his soldiers to slowly move in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, although the Jiaozhi rebels led by Tuolin tried their best to block, but Wang Dan's soldiers were not the gang of high commanders, but the real division of a hundred battles, so Tuolin soon realized the horror of the Great Song Army again, and watched his elite fall under the butcher's knife of the Song Army one by one, which made the fear of the Song Army in his heart explode again, and he was also a little restrained when commanding.
Tuo Lin is the main general of the rebel army, even he is afraid of the Song army, and the rest of the other rebel generals threw down the corpse after a few hard touches, and they don't dare to stop it anymore, and at the same time, they finally know that the Song army that was defeated by them just now is nothing at all, and these are the real strength of the Song army in front of them.
It is precisely because of this, so Wang Dan and they escorted Zhao Hao back to the city lord's mansion very smoothly, which has been occupied by the Jiaozhi rebels, but the military discipline of the rebels is too poor, many rebels immediately began to rob everywhere after seeing the luxurious decoration of the city lord's mansion, and some even threw their weapons, but now they happened to be blocked in the door by Wang Dan, and with Wang Dan's order, the rebels in the city lord's mansion were quickly cleaned up.
Recaptured the City Lord's Mansion, Wang Dan immediately began to deploy defenses, Tuolin outside originally wanted to retreat directly, after all, he couldn't help Wang Dan's army outside just now, not to mention that the other party also entered the City Lord's Mansion, but he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to Li Gande after he went back, so he had to pretend to command the army to attack a few times.
However, just as Tuolin was about to retreat, he suddenly heard the shouting of the Song army behind him again, which made him look nervous, knowing that the Song army from other directions should also come back to the rescue, so he didn't dare to delay, and immediately commanded his subordinates to retreat, after all, if he didn't leave, he would be attacked on his back.
