Chapter 4338 Transformed Elbows and Armpits
Li Daliang thought that his son Li Fengjie was in the open and he was in the dark, so the secretive instigation of the Right Tun Guard soldiers would be effective. At least half of the army could be brought over. When the time came, he would launch a sudden attack, and Chai Zhewei's Zuo Tun Guards would be on the side. With the help of an all-out attack, the Youtun Guards can be completely wiped out in at most an hour, and the threats outside the Xuanwu Gate can be eliminated, allowing Li Daozong to enter the Taiji Palace without any distractions.
However, things went counter to expectations, the ideal was extremely full, and the reality was very skinny.
The middle and lower-ranking officers of Youtun Guard were extremely loyal to the imperial court and Fang Jun. Even if he used his identity as a descendant of Guanlong to instigate rebellion, used high-ranking officials and generous salaries to induce him, and even used the families of those officers to threaten him, he had little effect.
After several days of instigating rebellion, his mouth was worn out, and he could only control less than 20% of the troops of the Right Guards. This shocked him extremely. The Right Guards were really as solid as a piece of iron, and they were not very determined. .
However, it doesn't matter if the number of people is smaller. As long as the Youtun Guards can be completely disrupted and fight each other, Chai Zhewei can naturally lead the army to kill them calmly and achieve an easy and comfortable crushing victory.
However, now, the troops he had incited to rebel launched a tidal wave of offensive towards the Chinese military tent, but they were unable to shake Gao Kan's position. Seeing that the casualties on his side were becoming more and more heavy, and the offensive was unsustainable, Chai Zhewei's side remained motionless... …
"Mother!"
Li Daliang used his horizontal sword to chop down a cold arrow that came from nowhere, and cursed loudly, not at the person who shot the cold arrow, but at Chai Zhewei.
They are all veterans who have been fighting all their lives. How can they not know what Chai Zhewei thinks?
It is clear that he wants to consume all the people Li Daliang incited to rebel, weaken Gao Kan's military strength and combat power as much as possible, and then calmly enter the scene to clean up the mess, and firmly hold the credit in his hands...
Too insidious and too shameless.
Because if we continue to fight, we will not only consume all the troops who are trying to counterattack, but it is very likely that their father and son will also be consumed here. He and his son can't give up these troops who are trying to counterattack and run away temporarily, right?
"Father, it's difficult to fight. If Chai Zhewei doesn't come again, Gao Kan will probably counterattack!"
Li Fengjie can be regarded as having a family background. Although he has never led an army, he still has some eyesight. His side seems to be menacing, but after all, there are few troops. When he rushes to Gao Kan's formation, it is like a wave crashing on a rock and it is difficult to shake it. , and every time he charges, he will suffer a casualty and loss. If things go on like this, he will be exhausted. When the time comes, Gao Kan will make a countercharge, and his father and son will be unable to fly...
So he was a little panicked. This was completely different from the strategy he had planned before.
The reason why the situation is becoming more and more passive is naturally that Chai Zhewei, who should have appeared in the plan long ago, has not come...
Li Daliang drew out his horizontal sword, looked gloomy, and gritted his teeth and said: "Chai Zhewei is like a rat! We can't just sit back and wait for death. Let's rush forward. Either Chai Zhewei will watch our father and son die in battle, or come over immediately for reinforcements!"
Since Chai Zhewei's idea was to continue to consume the forces of the Youtun Guards and wait until one of them was exhausted before deciding the overall situation and reaping the benefits, he would speed up the process and rush forward to consume all the strength on his side.
You, Chai Zhewei, can't sit back and watch me, Li Daliang, die on the spot, right?
Otherwise, how can you explain to King Jin?
Li Fengjie's face turned pale and he said in panic: "Father, why is this happening? The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and swords and guns have no eyesight. What if..."
"What a contingency! If Chai Zhewei is allowed to delay, something may happen. The king of Jiangxia County is currently fighting a bloody battle in the palace. If the battle cannot be won and the King of Jin cannot take the throne, don't think that we, as a branch of the Li family in Longxi, will be spared. It’s hard, then the whole family will be beheaded! You are so timid and afraid of death that no dog can give birth to a loser like you!”
Li Daliang was furious, scolded his son severely, and then raised his arms and shouted: "Charge with me!"
He waved his sword and charged forward.
Although Li Daozong had already entered Taiji Palace and had an advantage in terms of troops, it was more because of the sudden outburst that the palace defenders were caught off guard, giving them the upper hand. Moreover, Xuanwu Gate's strategic position is very important. If something unexpected happens and Xuanwu Gate is lost, Li Daozong's retreat will be cut off, and the army that penetrates deep into the palace will be attacked from both front and rear, which will be very dangerous.
Li Daozong's defeat means that the battle for the King of Jin to seize the throne will basically come to an end. When Li Chengqian secures the throne and begins to liquidate one by one, a single major crime of treason can bring disaster to his family.
If he had to watch the entire family fall into the abyss miserably, why not die in a vigorous battle like this!
As a distinguished minister of Zhenguan with great military exploits, Li Daliang's prestige remained intact even though he had returned to his official position. At this moment, he was leading the charge bravely, which also boosted the morale of the soldiers behind him and followed him towards the Chinese military tent.
Li Fengjie had no choice. Although he was frightened and his face turned pale, he could only rush forward with his sword, but his steps were not fast, and the soldiers rushed past him. Unknowingly, he had fallen behind...
Gao Kan stood in front of the Chinese army's tent and watched the rebels' offensive suddenly intensify. He understood that Li Daliang couldn't stand it anymore and planned to fight for life or death. He also informed Chai Zhewei through his actions to force him to take action as soon as possible.
Gao Kan was also in a dilemma.
With Li Daliang taking the lead, the morale of the rebels doubled, and they launched a fierce charge. The troops at the front were under great pressure. However, once he mobilized his army to face a full-scale battle, the formation was bound to be disrupted, and he fell into the enemy's trap.
Now the entire Youtun Guard is in chaos. Except for the thousands of people near the Zhongjun Tent who are waiting under Gao Kan's command, the rest of the troops are either mutinous or in chaos. They are fighting independently and have a failure of command. If even the troops from the Zhongjun Tent are involved In the melee, Chai Zhewei would inevitably lead the Zuotun guards to rush over like wolves and tigers, taking advantage of the chaos here to completely gain the upper hand.
But Li Daliang's charge was very fierce, and he could not let it go, so he shouted: "Who dares to step forward and kill this beast?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fangyi stepped forward and said, "I will go there eventually!"
Gao Kan said: "We must gather two thousand soldiers to block the enemy's charge. If we can take advantage of the situation and kill the enemy chief, I will definitely ask for your credit in front of His Majesty!"
"Here!"
Wang Fangyi's blood was boiling all over, and he immediately ordered two thousand elites, pointed the horizontal sword in his hand at the place where the rebel hedgehogs gathered, and shouted: "For meritorious service, wealth, and the title of wife and shadow, we shall take it with the horizontal sword! Follow me!" Kill!”
"Kill!"
Two thousand elites broke away from their positions, dispersed the rebels in front of them, and headed towards the place where the rebels were most numerous like wolves and tigers.
Wang Fangyi took the lead and was inexplicably excited. Although he was brought back from the Western Regions by Fang Jun to join the Youtun Guards, and was highly regarded by Fang Jun and put all the scouts under his command, naturally a mere scout commander was not Wang Fangyi's ultimate goal.
It is said that times make heroes, and the current battle situation is just right for ambitious people to kill generals, seize flags, and soar into the sky!
boom! Wang Fangyi led two thousand soldiers and collided with Li Daliang's charging troops. In an instant, swords, guns, swords and halberds attacked each other. Blood spurts and screams shook the sky. The unreserved fighting quickly began, and the battle could be fought in just one breath. Entering the heat.
……
Separated by a wall, the left guard camp was stationed.
"Commander, Li Daliang has led his army to charge, and the battle is fierce!"
"Oh? It's quite bloody."
Chai Zhewei, wearing a military uniform and standing near the camp gate with his hands behind his hands, said jokingly when he heard that Li Daliang had already gone into battle in person to charge.
Chai Lingwu was a little anxious: "Commander, is the heat almost over? In case Li Daliang is killed, we can't explain to the King of Jin!"
The task he received was to assist Li Daliang in wiping out the Youtun Guards, completely clearing out the imperial troops outside Xuanwu Gate, and then holding on to Xuanwu Gate to resist all troops coming for reinforcements, so that Li Daozong, who had entered the palace, would have no worries.
However, if Li Daliang were killed in battle, it would inevitably trigger a violent reaction from the Guanlong clan headed by Yu Wenshiji. Even Chai Zhewei, who was considered a member of the Guanlong clan, could not quell public anger. At that time, in order to appease the Guanlong clan, the King of Jin could not help but deal with Chai Zhewei.
But Chai Zhewei commanded an army, and after King Jin ascended the throne, he was regarded as a minister of the dragon. He couldn't suppress the heroes as soon as he came to power, right?
Therefore, in the end, it is very likely that this board will fall on Chai Lingwu, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, and serving as a warning to others...
Chai Zhewei, the old god, waved his hands and said disapprovingly: "How do you think Li Daliang got his countless meritorious deeds in these years of conquering the south and the north? How could the old tiger die so easily? Don't worry, wait a little longer, wait until the right The garrison is completely in chaos, let’s reap victory calmly.”
On the surface, he is calm and seems to have a plan in mind, but in fact, he is not confident in his heart. After all, Youtun Wei's outstanding achievements are there. Even if he lacks firearms and even if he falls into chaos, no one in the world dares to look down upon him.
Moreover, the Zuo Tuen Guards were defeated by the Right Tun Guards before, and the entire army was almost destroyed. Now, although they have more troops and are well-equipped, they have not yet proven themselves on the battlefield. What if they cannot defeat the Right Tun Guards in chaos?
For every quarter of an hour more, the Youtunwei's combat effectiveness will drop by one point, and his side's chances of winning will increase by one point. Therefore, Chai Zhewei will never take action easily until the last moment...
A scout came galloping from the direction of the Weishui River. When he got close, he got off his horse and said, "Commander Qi, more than a hundred people just rode from the direction of the Forbidden Garden. They bypassed the sentry we set up and went straight to the Youtunwei camp."
Chai Zhewei was shocked and said angrily: "Why don't you stop him? I have already ordered that no one can approach the Youtunwei camp. Anyone who dares to break in will be shot to death!"
He has already set up checkpoints on all the roads leading to Xuanwu Gate, just to prevent anyone from reinforcing the Youtun Guards or passing on orders. If there are more than a hundred people in the area, if they cannot stop them, they should be shot!
The scout was startled and said hurriedly: "I stopped him, but I didn't stop him. He broke through the checkpoint and walked away."
Chai Zhewei, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was suddenly confused. Who was rushing to Youtunwei at this time?
He felt that he could not wait any longer. If the situation changed, something bad would happen...(End of Chapter)
