Chapter 4448 Between Life and Death
"Block him! Block him!"
Seeing Fang Jun, who was fully equipped with both men and horses, leaping on his horse and dancing like a god of death, rushing towards him like a killing god. The fear in Li Zhi's heart was almost unstoppable.
The guards of the Jin Palace were all personally selected by Emperor Taizong. They were extremely loyal and willing to die for the safety of the Jin Dynasty. Seeing Fang Jun charging towards Li Zhi with great speed and hearing Li Zhi's fearful roar, he rushed forward without hesitation. Stepping forward, Li Zhi was surrounded by a tide, trying to block Fang Jun's surprise attack.
Under the visor, Fang Jun licked the rainwater and sweat that flowed into his mouth. It was slightly salty. His rapid breathing mobilized every ounce of strength in his body. After going through an extremely uncomfortable physical limit, not only did he feel that his body seemed to be injected. The incoming energy suppressed his fatigue, and all his senses became more acute. He was in surprisingly good condition. The rebels in front of him were in strict formation and were surrounded on three sides. However, he still rode straight in, galloping with ease, carving a bloody path. .
The sharp blade is sharp and the one in charge is invincible.
Li Zhi was dumbfounded. He had heard Fang Jun's reputation as "bravely championing the three armies" countless times in the past. It was rare for him to have an opponent among the "Second Generations of Xun", but he only praised him a few times and didn't feel it too intuitively until he saw it with his own eyes. Only when I saw Fang Jun, one man, one horse and one man, galloping and killing no one in the midst of thousands of troops, did I realize what kind of physique he had.
And this was after a night of fierce fighting and charging into battle...
I'm afraid Lu Bu's bravery and Xiang Yu's strength are nothing more than this.
Seeing Fang Jun rushing towards him unstoppably, rainwater flowing down from his armor, and the white air spurting from the nostrils of the war horse clearly visible, Li Zhi finally couldn't suppress the fear in his heart, and rode his horse forward in small steps. Back away.
But after taking a few steps back, he stopped.
In front of him are Fang Jun's armored cavalry, behind him are Yu Chigong's troops, and the Wude Hall not far away seems to be close at hand but is actually out of reach. Even if he retreats again and again, where can he retreat to?
If you take another step back, you will be in the abyss, and there will be no recovery...
Li Zhi gritted his teeth, raised his weapon, and shouted three times: "Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
As long as he can stand up to Fang Jun and make Yuchi Gong worry-free, it is possible to capture Wude Palace and change his fate against the will of heaven. Otherwise, if he were in chaos, Yuchi Gong would lose all his rear support, and Fang Jun's armored cavalry would attack his back, and his entire army would be wiped out.
We have already reached this point, one step away from Wude Hall, how can we be willing to fall short?
Even if you die here, you can never take another step back!
"Fight to the death!" The guards on the left and right of the Jin Palace and the guards on the right responded loudly. Li Zhi regarded himself as the legitimate son of Emperor Taizong and the person who passed on the throne according to the imperial edict. In the face of difficulties, he could still forge ahead and fight bloody battles. This kind of behavior can It greatly boosted the morale of the army, and these soldiers were either loyal to Li Zhi and would fight to the death, or they were desperate and had no way out. Naturally, they followed him in bloody battles, and their morale was like a rainbow.
Yuchi Gong in the front also heard the shouts of thousands of people behind him when he charged. The earth-shattering momentum deeply affected him. He also knew that Li Zhi must be in danger at this moment, but if he turned around to rescue him, he would definitely be killed by the prince's left guard. Li Zhi took advantage of the situation to suppress and heavily surround him. Even if he could rescue Li Zhi, he would be in a dead end, and it would be impossible to capture Wude Palace again...
Weighing the pros and cons, he could only grit his teeth, use all his strength, and charge more and more crazily with his horse. Only if he quickly penetrated the position led by the prince's left guard and entered the Wude Palace could he have a chance of survival. Otherwise, he would definitely have to face the enemy today. The entire army was wiped out.
Moreover, Li Zhi took the lead and refused to retreat, which aroused the determination and morale of his soldiers to fight to the death. Even if he faced Fang Jun, he would be able to delay for a long time. As long as he captured Wude Palace as soon as possible, the final victory would still be on his side.
However, he was almost exhausted during the bloody battle, but he failed to remember for a moment that although a stable heart and high morale can defeat the weak in many battles, they are by no means the only factors that determine victory or defeat on the battlefield. In the face of absolute power, No factor is enough to turn defeat into victory...
……
The morale of the rebels rose sharply, and the pressure in front of them was huge, but Fang Jun was not afraid at all. He became more and more courageous as he fought. He formed a huge arrow formation with the armored cavalry behind him. Using himself as the "arrow", he took the lead and charged fiercely, heading towards the enemy. The rebel positions were cut away. With superb force and strong defense, the horses were flying up and down, and no one was able to unite them.
Behind him in Wudemen, groups of heavily armored infantry finally arrived belatedly. Seeing the battlefield situation, without any instructions, they split into two and bypassed the armored cavalry from both wings to raid the rebel positions on both sides.
Fang Jun forcibly cut a bloody path in the middle, as if he was as unstoppable as the God of War. If Li Zhi hadn't fought to the death and improved the morale of the soldiers, he might have been unable to sustain it. The positions on both sides were suddenly attacked by heavy armored infantry, and the entire position was suddenly attacked. There was chaos, fear arose in the hearts of the soldiers, and the morale of the soldiers was instantly shaken.
Li Zhi suddenly felt frightened and looked at Wudemen not far away, wondering in his heart: Why could the slow-moving heavy armored infantry arrive first, but the reinforcements from Xiao Yu and Cui Xin failed to arrive?
A hint of gloom inevitably arises in my heart...
Fang Jun picked up a rebel captain and threw it to the side with a shake of his arms. As the captain screamed, blood sprinkled with the rain. Fang Jun's eyes widened and he shouted: "Disarm Don’t kill!”
"Disarm without killing! Disarm without killing!"
More than a thousand armored cavalry and two thousand heavily armored infantry formed a half-moon-shaped encirclement to clamp down on the rebels. They launched ferocious offensives in the middle and on both sides. The rebels were unable to resist and could only fight and retreat.
Li Zhi's eyes were about to burst, and he screamed loudly: "You can't retreat! You can't retreat! Follow me and kill him. As long as you resist Fang Jun, the Duke of E can capture the Wude Palace!"
Seeing Li Zhi charging at the front line brandishing his weapons, the guards of the Jin Palace did not dare to retreat and hurriedly stepped forward to surround him.
However, it could not stop Fang Jun from charging like a storm.
The heavy-armored infantry attacked from both sides and pinned down most of the rebels. The pressure in front of Fang Jun dropped sharply. He gritted his teeth and mustered up his last strength, charging all the way towards Li Zhi. Not only did the courageous rebels be defeated. He didn't dare to confront him, but everyone he passed was panicked.
Seeing Fang Jun, who was covered in iron armor and killing like a tiger with murderous intent, Li Zhi hesitated, not knowing whether he should step forward to challenge or run away quickly...
Just when he was hesitating, Fang Jun had already ridden to the front. Ma Cha stabbed him, and the sharp sword drew a shadow and came to Li Zhi through the wind and rain.
The imperial guards on the left and right stepped forward bravely. Seeing that they had no time to rescue Li Zhi, they could only surround Wei to rescue Zhao. Several spears were directed at Fang Jun's chest, trying to force Fang Jun to retreat. Fang Jun turned a blind eye, holding Ma Shan's arm without any hesitation or trembling, and stabbed Li Zhi forward without hesitation.
Li Zhi, who was in a trance, finally came to his senses and raised his weapon to block Ma Shan who was heading straight for his chest. With a "dang" sound, an unparalleled force came from Li Zhi's life. The blade flew away from his hand, his two arms were sore and numb from the shock, and his account was even broken and bleeding.
He was just a prince who had grown up in the palace. He had neither the talent to be able to carry a cauldron, nor the persistence of his muscles. Even Li Daozong couldn't block Fang Jun's full blow, let alone him?
Fortunately, Fang Jun was already exhausted at this moment, as if he were at the end of a powerful crossbow. Although Li Zhi's weapon was knocked away, the thrust was blocked and he could not move forward.
With a few soft "dang-dang" sounds, the swords of the Imperial Guards of the Jin Palace landed in front of Fang Jun's vital parts, stabbing or slashing them, but they were all blocked by the armor and could not hurt Fang Jun at all. But even so, the huge power carried by the weapon made Fang Jun tremble all over. He straightened up and changed the sword in his palm into a thorn, and swept it towards Li Zhi's waist.
The blade is wide and long, and Penguin Fangjun is extremely powerful. If it is hit, even if Li Zhi is wearing armor, he will not be able to escape the result of falling off his horse and being seriously injured.
In panic, Li Zhi threw off his stirrup, leaned to the left, fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground, barely avoiding the blow.
However, Fang Jun seemed to have anticipated his response. With one move, he cleared the air. He jumped up from the horse's back and landed in front of the horse's head. He quickly took two steps forward, swung the horse's sword, and placed the sword directly on the ground. On the neck of Li Zhi who fell to the ground, he yelled: "Put down your weapons. If anyone dares to move, I will kill him!"
The surrounding guards of Prince Jin's Mansion were horrified when they saw Li Zhi going to the end. They swarmed forward but were too late to rescue him. They surrounded Fang Jun. Dozens of weapons were pointed at Fang Jun. Once activated, even full-body armor could not stop him. Unable to withstand so many weapon attacks, all the gaps in the joints to ensure easy movement must be pierced.
But Fang Jun placed the sword on Li Zhi's neck and was startled by the loud shout. Who dared to act rashly?
For these imperial guards of the Jin Palace, any imperial hegemony or power struggle has nothing to do with them. Their only mission is to ensure Li Zhi's safety...
How dare you use the rat-proof weapon now?
Armored cavalry and heavily armored infantry rushed up from the outside and surrounded the Jin Palace guards.
Jin Wang Li Zhi fell to the ground, the sharp sword was placed on his neck and did not dare to move. Fang Jun stood in front of him, tall and straight. Hundreds of Jin princes surrounded the two people, and countless weapons were pointed at Fang Jun. As long as he activated , you can make your room bigger in an instant Eight pieces were dismantled, and more armored cavalry and heavy-armored infantry surrounded the imperial guards of the Jin Palace on the outside. They were layer upon layer and densely packed. Everyone from all sides estimated that no one dared to move rashly. In the wind and rain, the noisy There was an eerie calm on the battlefield.
Li Zhi was lying on his back, covered in mud and water, and was in a miserable state. Rain fell from the sky and hit his face. Seeing that his pride was completely extinguished, the determination to fight to the death that he had finally mustered up was completely dissipated in the face of life and death.
I have never been so close to death, only to realize that there is a great horror between life and death. No matter how powerful the empire is, no matter how high the ambition is, it can't compare to living a life of survival... (End of this chapter)
