Chapter 3364 Li Er’s fall
Xue Wanche was so impatient that he led his army to withdraw from the Seven Star Gate. He had no time to take care of his subordinate Pao Ze who was trapped in the city. He just wanted to rush back to Anhe Palace to aid.
He conquered Anhe Palace, which was a great achievement. However, due to his failure in clearing up, he failed to discover the "Wang Zhuang Army" hidden in the dense forest in the ravine behind Anhe Palace, which led to the enemy's surprise attack on the heart of the Tang Army. Damn, this is a sin.
That's all, but who would have thought that His Majesty Li Er would go to Anhe Palace at this time to "watch the enemy's formation" and be surrounded by "Wang Zhuang's Army"?
If your Majesty made a mistake because of this...
Xue Wanche trembled with regret and fear.
At this moment, he was completely panicked. He led the army back to Anhe Palace. At the gate of the camp, he saw that the palace was already a bloody battle and a mess. He became more and more frightened and could not care about anything else. He immediately led the troops into the palace. Inside, he rushed towards "Wang Zhuangjun".
After receiving the news that His Majesty Li Er was besieged in Anhe Palace, the Chinese army's generals were all in a panic and rushed to reinforce and escort him. When they saw Xue Wanche leading his troops into the palace, they were not willing to lag behind and rushed in with Xue Wanche.
His Majesty Li Er swung his sword to chop down an enemy soldier. He was in high spirits when he suddenly found that the formation behind him was in chaos. He was startled. After a while, he realized that Xue Wanche and the Chinese army were coming to reinforce him. He calmed down and became more confident. , waving his sword and shouting: "The enemy will be killed in the near future, you will follow me to kill!"
He was so frightened that Li Ji grabbed the reins of his horse and tried to dissuade him: "Safety comes first, safety comes first!"
Changsun Wuji on the other side also held a horizontal sword and advised: "Xue Wanche and the Chinese army have come to reinforce. Even if the 'Wang Zhuang Army' is powerful, they will not be able to escape today. They will be destroyed in an instant. Don’t go into danger. If something goes wrong, things will be in serious danger!”
He almost cried.
You are an emperor, not a general charging into battle, let alone a soldier marching forward. If you rush forward so excitedly, how can you let us ministers survive if you get into trouble?
In particular, although the critical situation here was caused by Xue Wanche's negligence, the root cause was Changsun Zhong's intelligence error. It would be enough to let the "Wang Zhuang Army" penetrate into the heart of the army and cause heavy casualties. If His Majesty Li Er is traumatized as a result, the entire Changsun family will die...
His Majesty Li Er was so excited that it was hard to express. How could he listen to him? I just felt that this charge was really satisfying. Even conquering all the charming beauties in the palace had never been so enjoyable. He clamped the horse's belly and wanted to charge, but found that Li Ji was holding on to the reins with both hands and refused to let go. On the other side, Changsun Wu Ji also leaned forward and tugged on his sleeves, unable to break free.
He could only say angrily: "I am also an emperor on horseback. Back then, it was easy to kill generals and seize the flag. This time, I jumped on my horse and raised my sword to kill the barbarians. This is a bravery that no emperor in ancient times has ever seen. Why do you bother to do this to the scenery?" ? What a disappointment! ”
But no matter how ugly his face was, he was still dragged by Li Ji and Changsun Wuji, unable to rush forward to kill him.
Behind him, Xue Wanche had already led his army to kill. The Tang army charged forward from both sides and engaged in a melee with "Wang Zhuang's Army". His Majesty Li Er and others were also trapped in it under the escort of "Hundred Cavalry", just like the sea. The boat was bumpy and swaying, very dangerous.
When His Majesty Li Er saw Xue Wanche rushing forward, covered in blood, he felt angry and shouted at Xue Wanche: "Come here!"
Xue Wanche was about to commit suicide when he suddenly saw His Majesty Li Er shouting at him among the guards. He felt nervous and rushed forward. Before he could say anything, he heard His Majesty Li Er yelling at him: "You don't have anything?" Brain? You were asked to attack Anhe Palace, but you rushed to attack the Seven Star Gate without even clearing out the remaining enemies. As a result, the enemy troops are now rampant and have killed countless of our troops. Damn it!"
< br>
Xue Wanche was dejected. This incident was indeed caused by his negligence, but he was a little unconvinced. He argued: "It's not because the general is incompetent. It's just because Zhang Sun Chong's intelligence informed that 'Wang Zhuangjun' was at Peony Peak in Pingrang City. The general believed it." Who would have expected that Changsun Chong's intelligence was wrong, and that 'Wang Zhuangjun' was actually lurking in the back hill of Anhe Palace? ? Not only that, Chang Sun Chong vowed that the army would arrive directly at Pingrang City, so he immediately opened the Seven Star Gate to welcome the army into the city. However, the general fell into the bandit's trick, causing thousands of people to fall into the city, and repeated attacks on the Seven Star Gate failed to work. , those soldiers may have been completely destroyed at this moment!”
"Is this happening?"
His Majesty Li Er was stunned at first, and then became furious. He glared at Changsun Wuji and shouted, "This matter is handled by Duke Zhao alone. Can you give me an explanation?"
Changsun Wuji has always been a deep-seated city, but when he heard Xue Wanche's words, he was a little confused and said in disbelief: "How could this be so?"
Xue Wanche said angrily: "If I had known that your eldest son's family was unfaithful and unjust, had no king and no father, and had no regard for the family and the country, now the eldest son Chong would have completely surrendered to Yuan Gaisuwen and used this as a way to advance. He doesn't want to repeat it at all." Return to Chang'an to do A guilty man who only wanted to be the son-in-law of Yuan Gaesumun in Pingrang City, with great power and wealth! But he betrayed His Majesty's trust and caused many sons to die here. He deserves to die!"
< br>
Although he is a good guy, he is not a fool. There is almost no escape from his crimes this time. Whether he failed to completely clear out Anhe Palace or whether he was greedy for power and rushed into Pingrang City, causing thousands of elite soldiers to be trapped in Pingrang City, he can be punished for everything. In the end, he became white from now on.
He is also familiar with His Majesty's character. It is useless to just beg for mercy at this time. Only by completely pushing Chang Sun Chong into the water and placing all the blame on Chang Sun Chong can he possibly be spared by His Majesty Li Er.
"Shifting the blame" is an essential skill in officialdom, and it has nothing to do with whether a person is stupid or not...
Changsun Wuji quickly kicked off his saddle and jumped off the horse, knelt in the snow, and shouted to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty clearly knows that the Changsun family is loyal to Your Majesty and to the Tang Dynasty. How dare you do such a traitorous thing to seek glory?" There must be something hidden in it.”
He now wanted to bite Xue Wanche to death. This tough guy kept saying that Changsun Chong had betrayed his country and sought glory. Once these charges were proven, the entire Changsun family would be implicated.
His Majesty Li Er looked gloomy. This critical moment was not the time to hold Changsun Chong accountable. He should be thinking about how to capture Pingrang City.
Li Ji on the side said anxiously: "We will talk about this later. Your Majesty, this place is in danger. It is better to go back to the Chinese army's tent and make further arrangements!"
However, before he finished speaking, he heard a "whoosh" sound piercing the air, and a black shadow suddenly appeared from the corner of his eye. Li Ji was so frightened that he jumped up from his horse and rushed towards Li Ji. The second majesty fell to the ground from his horse.
A cold arrow came from nowhere and flew past His Majesty Li Er's head at the critical moment and nailed the shoulder blade of a guard.
A group of people were so scared that they flew away and shouted: "Escort! Escort!"
They all rushed forward and blocked His Majesty Li Er who had landed on the ground with their bodies.
His Majesty Li Er was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground by Li Ji, causing a cloud of snow foam to splash. Because he landed on his back, His Majesty Li Er's internal organs seemed to shift from the fall. There was a "bang" sound and all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. He held his breath in his chest and almost suffocated him to death.
Li Ji sat up and saw His Majesty Li Er's face flushed. He thought he had been hit by an arrow and was so frightened that he hurriedly helped him.
His Majesty Li Er finally took a breath, but felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, his head was buzzing, his whole body was confused, and he was speechless for a while.
Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Zhu Suiliang and others rushed forward and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
His Majesty Li Er's face turned as red as blood at first, then turned pale as paper after a while, and his body trembled slightly. His hair had fallen off, his hair was disheveled, covering half of his face, his pupils were dilated, his lips were trembling, and he was speechless.
The whole person was in despair and extremely embarrassed.
On the other side, "Wang Zhuang's Army" was fighting with all his strength, but he was no longer an elite. Previously, he was chopping melons and vegetables when facing civilians and heavy troops. Now, Xue Wanche's troops and the Chinese army came to help one after another, and they were all led by the Tang Army. The army will inevitably gradually become exhausted.
However, in the front military formation, a circle of people gathered together, shouting and screaming from time to time, which naturally attracted the attention of "Wang Zhuangjun".
Yuan Nanjian was covered in blood. He knew that this might be the "big man" mentioned by the scout before. He immediately became energetic. He waved his saber and pointed in the direction of His Majesty Li Er and others. He galloped forward while shouting: "Kill it!" (End of Chapter)
