Chapter 526: Betrayal before the battle
Hou Junji gritted his teeth and persisted until now, actually feeling a little desperate in his heart.
After all, His Majesty Li Er is His Majesty Li Er. Even though the plan to force the palace to coerce him to become a Zen leader is very secret and there is absolutely no possibility of it being leaked, Hou Junji does not dare to expect that His Majesty Li Er will not be prepared at all.
In his opinion, Changsun Chong's delay in arriving must have been delayed by the surprise troops deployed by His Majesty Li Er, and he could not make it for a while.
Hou Junji has no way out, either he can help the crown prince ascend the throne and become a god one step above ten thousand people, or he can be shattered into pieces and his family will be wiped out, leaving him with infamy for eternity...
Therefore, even if all of Zuo Wei's soldiers are dead, all his close confidants are dead, and he himself is killed here, he can't retreat!
There is no way back!
Seeing the number of cronies around him decreasing one by one, Hou Junji was extremely anxious. Suddenly seeing the brightly armored Shenji Battalion appearing on the battlefield, he was simply ecstatic! Although the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties at this moment, the "Hundred Cavalry" suffered even more casualties!
Both sides are at the end of their battles. Once the Shenji Battalion joins in, they can defeat the "Hundred Cavalry" in an instant and capture His Majesty Li Er alive, and then force him to issue an imperial edict to the throne of Zen!
Hou Junji, who was already on the verge of despair, suddenly saw hope...
And his shouting was clearly heard by everyone present.
When Hou Junji's close confidants heard this, it turned out that we were not fighting alone, there were reinforcements! The morale that had reached the lowest point was instantly improved, and everyone rushed into the fight to the death as if they were full of blood!
The "Hundred Riders" fell silent collectively.
Duke Junji of Lu State has rebelled, King Li Yuanchang of Han has rebelled, and now the Prince Consort Sun Chong has also rebelled...
Faced with the attack from the left guard, the "Hundred Cavalry" was already exhausted, and now they have joined the new force of the Shenji Battalion. Today is absolutely unlucky.
The battle situation immediately became one-sided. The "Hundred Cavalry" front was crushed by force and became smaller and smaller. It was already in danger.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the Shenji Battalion slowly approaching in the distance, and at the handsome and elegant Changsun Chong wearing a helmet and armor in front of the formation, and his chest was filled with rage!
Hou Junji rebelled because he was extremely ambitious, jealous, and narrow-minded. He always thought that his military skills were divine and he was the greatest contributor to the Tang Dynasty. He was deeply dissatisfied with living under others for so long, so he wanted to support Bao. The prince ascended the throne and became a powerful minister under one person and above ten thousand people!
As for Li Yuanchang, not to mention that he was alienated from him because of his closeness to the hidden prince Li Jiancheng. Once the prince ascended the throne, he would have to rely on him to pacify the royal clan and take advantage of the situation to become the most powerful prince in the clan. Even in his heart, It is hard to guarantee that there is no ambition to recreate the changes in the Xuanwu Gate that day...
His Majesty Li Er cannot accept the behavior of these two people, but it is understandable.
No one can escape power and utilitarianism, and naturally there are many people who take desperate risks for the sake of the supreme interests.
But, what is your eldest grandson trying to do?
It can be said that the favor received by the eldest grandson's family has already surpassed that of the Tang Dynasty. The eldest grandson's family is full of honors and favors. What else are you dissatisfied with?
What puzzles His Majesty Li Er the most is that you are the one who framed the prince many times. Why do you want to protect the prince at this time?
What a contradiction...
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were full of doubts, and he could not guess what Changsun Chong was thinking.
But there was no trace of anxiety or fear.
Changsun Chong's handsome face was expressionless, and he led the Shenji Battalion to slowly approach. First he glanced at Hou Junji, who was covered in blood and looked like he was crazy. Then, amidst Zuo Wei's hope and the despair of "Hundred Riders", he knelt down on one knee. , said loudly: "Sun Chong, the humble minister, the rescue is late, please forgive me! Shenji camp obeys the order, all the rebellious ministers and thieves who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill without mercy!"
All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion roared loudly, and the strict queue slowly pressed forward. The neat footsteps of thousands of people were like war drums from hell, shaking people's hearts.
What was even more shocking were Chang Sun Chong's words!
Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang were stunned. Did Zhang Sun Chong rebel before the battle?
Did you agree to be friends together?
How despicable!
His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, what's going on? Didn't Changsun Chong and Hou Junji have a premeditated plan?
Now, both Hou Junji's left guard and the "Hundred Cavalry" have been exhausted. The new force of the Shenji Battalion is the decisive force in the battle. As long as there is a charge, the "Hundred Cavalry" will inevitably be defeated.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but was captured alive.
But Changsun Chong came to protect him...
Hou Jun poured blood into his pupils, looked at the Shenji battalion that had already charged towards him, and cursed loudly: "Chang Sun Chong! Shameless man, treacherous villain! You have betrayed your trust, you will die a good death!"
Li Yuanchang, who was hit in the chest and abdomen by an arrow from Emperor Li Er, turned pale and cursed hysterically: "Chief grandson, you are so stupid! Do you think that you can achieve unparalleled achievements by escorting me now? Li Shimin is cruel and ruthless, he Don’t you know that you are also one of the initiators of this rebellion? When he is safe and sound, it will be your death!”
These two people were going crazy!
No matter how hard he calculated, he never expected that Changsun Chong would defect before the battle!
This time, Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang were directly pushed into the abyss.
Changsun Chong commanded his generals to charge towards Hou Junji, and said loudly and righteously: "You treacherous ministers and traitors, don't slander anyone! As a prince-in-law, I should be loyal, how could I betray your majesty? I would like to advise you and put it down immediately. Weapons, stop resisting, Your Majesty must be willing to let go of the past, otherwise he will die and his family will be destroyed today!”
Hou Junji cursed: "Get out of here! You are worse than a pig or a dog... Ouch!"
But he was shot through the shoulder blade by a cold arrow, which hurt so much that he was speechless.
The Shenji Battalion is waiting for work. How can the exhausted left guard soldiers resist? After just a few charges, they were completely defeated. When all the soldiers saw that the situation was over, they didn't know who shouted, and immediately dropped their weapons and ran for their lives. Those who were injured and couldn't escape immediately surrendered on the spot, shouting: "Stop fighting, stop fighting, surrender." …”
However, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion turned a deaf ear. Their sharp swords and neat spears advanced slowly, blocking the way. Regardless of whether they were wounded or surrendered, they would be killed without mercy!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams continued!
Hou Junji's body was wounded several times and his blood was almost drained. He barely stood up straight. Just when he was about to curse, a sword flashed in front of his eyes. He was so shocked that he hurriedly swung his sword to block. Although he blocked the incoming sword, several spears came out like poisonous snakes and stabbed into his chest and abdomen.
Hou Junji let out an earth-shaking scream, but he only screamed a few times before he was stabbed into candied haws by a series of spears and died on the spot.
The spear was withdrawn, bringing up a few puffs of blood, and Hou Junji's body fell to the ground.
A generation of famous generals died just like that.
Li Yuanchang was seriously injured and couldn't run away even if he wanted to. When he saw Hou Junji being pierced by more than a dozen spears, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and his lips turned white. When the composers around him saw this, they didn't care about anything and immediately dispersed.
Seeing the Shenji Camp soldiers rushing towards him like tigers and wolves, Li Yuanchang was scared to death and cried: "Don't kill me, I am the King of Han, a royal family member, and your Majesty's brother..."
The few soldiers from the Shenji Battalion who rushed forward were stunned.
Indeed, this person's identity is not ordinary. Although he is a rebel, he doesn't necessarily have to die, right?
When the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were in a daze, an officer in the uniform of a captain came up from behind. With a sullen face and without saying a word, he raised his knife and chopped off Li Yuanchang's head!
"Can't you hear the admiral's military order? Kill without mercy! Kill without mercy, do you understand?" The captain was furious.
"Kill without mercy!" Only then did the soldiers react and hurriedly went to chase the scattered left guard soldiers, but they secretly sighed in their hearts.
This is a prince, a true royal family member, His Majesty's biological brother. Who will take over?
One stab and his head is gone!
You said that you were living a good life wearing gold, silver, and slaves, but what kind of rebellion did you create?
It’s really a suicide attempt...
The meat grinding battle that was evenly matched before suddenly turned into a chase battle with the addition of the Shenji Battalion.
Changsun Chong trotted to His Majesty Li Er, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Changsun Chong arrived too late to save me, please punish me!"
Punishment?
This is a great contribution to saving the driver!
The surviving "Baiqi" sighed in his heart, this eldest grandson's consort is really humble...
His Majesty Li Er stared at the red tassel on Chang Sun Chong's helmet for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Okay! You did a good job..."
He moved his eyes away from Changsun Chong and looked at the mountain pass.
With rumbles of footsteps, groups of elite Nanya Imperial Guards quickly drove up the mountain... (End of Chapter)
