Yang Fan's sudden shout made Li Er startled, and he couldn't help but wonder what it meant to lie down.
Seeing His Majesty Li Er standing dumbly without any reaction, Yang Fan was as anxious as a cat scratching his head. He waved the horizontal knife in his hand and killed several rebels who were blocking him, and rushed back.
In Yang Fan's view, His Majesty Li Er was not aware of the power of the musket at all. He had been standing still, so he had become a living target.
What's more important is that Princess Changle is right next to His Majesty Li Er. Even if you want to die, don't drag your wife with you!
However, His Majesty Li Er didn't care about Yang Fan's worries. He pursed his lips tightly and the short beard under his chin trembled slightly.
Watching the charging Baiqi die one after another made him feel heartbroken.
The Baiqi are still the best among the best, and each one is a warrior worth ten, but Hou Junji's left guard is not bad either.
Moreover, the rebels came like a tide and launched a fierce attack without fear of death. The losses of Baiqi were quite serious.
Of course, what surprised Li Er even more was that although the guards led by Xi Junmai began to fight hard, there were no casualties.
Is Yang Fan's guard so powerful?
Before he could think about it, he saw that the guards led by Bai Qi and Xi Junmai were blocked by dense rebels. They were about to break through the siege, but were quickly blocked by other rebels.
After losing dozens of people, Baiqi and his guards were just a few feet away from Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang, but they could no longer cross the thunder pool.
His Majesty Li Er knew that without reinforcements, they would not be able to rush out at all. The number of rebels was too great.
Of course, even though he was surrounded by rebels, His Majesty Li Er did not panic at all.
Thinking about how he dared to charge to the death among a hundred thousand troops with three thousand black armored cavalry, what does the confrontation of thousands of people in front of him mean?
Li Er just felt distressed.
These hundreds of knights were fierce warriors. They did not shed their blood in the battle against the aliens, but they became the victims of some ambitious people, which made him extremely angry.
About an hour has passed since the rebellion.
Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang, the association rate...these rebellion masterminds all appeared one by one, and no other important figures were seen again.
This cannot help but make His Majesty Li Er suspicious. Could it be that his sons did not participate in this rebellion?
Then His Majesty Li Er shook his head again. It would be fair to say that no one else participated.
But Hou Junji is the confidant of Prince Li Chengqian. Who would believe that the prince was not involved?
In order to seek the truth, His Majesty Li Er shouted loudly: "Li Yuanchang, Hou Junji... I am here, why don't you treacherous officials and traitors come and die quickly? Sons of the Tang Dynasty, why do you have to do this?" The rebellious ministers and traitors are desperate, put down the swords and guns in your hands immediately, and I can forget about it!"
This sudden roar was so powerful that even though the top of the mountain was in chaos, the sound spread far away.
The offensive of the besieging rebels in front of them stalled, especially some of the left guards who did not know what they were called. They were immediately shocked.
They received an order from Hou Junji. It was Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian and others who coerced the emperor into conspiring to usurp the throne, and asked them to come to kill the rebels and rescue His Majesty Li Er.
But why was it that the group of people who had been surrounding and killing him for a long time were not rebellious, but instead protecting the emperor.
In this case, doesn't it mean that Cheng Yaojin, Li Junxian and others are not rebels, but they themselves have become rebels!
Obviously, the generals who launched the rebellion are actually traitors who are aiding the rebellion...
For a moment, some soldiers on the left guard were stunned by the sudden change of situation and did not know what to do.
The originally brutal fighting became quiet due to this incident.
Taking advantage of this gap, Baiqi and the guards also took the opportunity to retreat.
After a while, the rebels also retreated like a tide, and a road separated in the middle.
Li Yuanchang strode over, followed by Hou Junji who was wearing a helmet and carrying armor.
As soon as he saw Li Yuanchang, Li Er
His Majesty gritted his teeth and said, "Li Yuanchang is indeed my good brother! He actually rebelled against me. Why does the seventh brother also want to taste what it's like to be an emperor?"
Li Yuanchang's face was a little distorted, his neck was red and he yelled angrily: "Li Shimin, you can't pretend to be here. Back then, you killed your brother and your brother and forced your father to abdicate. Why didn't you expect retribution? Today, I want you to experience this desperate situation." of despair."
"Of course, I am not as vicious as you. I am grateful for the love of blood. As long as you surrender, I can ensure that you spend your remaining years in peace!"
His Majesty Li Er was extremely angry, with a livid face: "Li Yuanchang, you are so shameless. You ignored the loss of life and united with my generals to commit such a treasonous act. Do you still have the nerve to say it?"
Li Yuanchang smiled disapprovingly: "I just can't bear the people of the Tang Dynasty to be tortured by shameless men like you who kill brothers and brothers, so I unite with the wise people in the court to overthrow this tyrant like you."
Killing brothers was originally a scar that His Majesty Li Er could never heal. Now that he was exposed in public, he suddenly became so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, and he was a little bit exposed:
"So, are you doing this treacherous act for the sake of the world? You are simply shameless!"
Hou Junji raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the matter is over, no need to say more, you are already in the prison, hurry up and capture, otherwise you will only increase the casualties."
"In order to comply with God's will, as a minister, I did this unfaithful act out of necessity."
"As long as your Majesty immediately issues an edict and the throne is established by His Majesty the Crown Prince, His Majesty's safety will be guaranteed. Moreover, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, he will definitely apologize to His Majesty!"
After Lian Ji was threatened, His Majesty Li Er was furious and looked at Hou Junji coldly: "You are such a good minister of mine. I was so blind at the beginning that I trusted you so much. Humph, you are a bunch of rebellious ministers and traitors. I really thought that you are a good minister." Will I give in?"
Hou Jun gathered his heart and said: "Your Majesty, you are now a caged bird, and I can't help you. If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
His Majesty Li Er was not afraid. He glanced around with blazing eyes and shouted: "I have been fighting all over the world since I was a child. I have defeated the great empire. How can I be afraid of death? Hou Junji, I will give you ten thousand courages. Do you dare to kill the king?"
"I... I don't dare, but the sword has no eyes. Please think twice, Your Majesty!" Hou Junji was suddenly speechless and his momentum weakened.
Regicide?
Now that so many people are watching, what kind of fool would you have to be to admit it?
However, he also secretly warned Li Er that if he dared to resist, an accident would have nothing to do with him.
Yang Fan, who had been protecting Li Er, couldn't help it anymore, pointed at Hou Junji and cursed: "Hou Junji, you are worse than a pig or a dog. Your Majesty treats you with such kindness, yet you actually commit treason. What a beast!"
"If you dare to touch a hair of His Majesty, you have to see if I, Yang Fantong, agree. Don't fall into my hands in the future, otherwise, I will definitely disembowel you to see if you are evil at heart!"
Of course, Yang Fan saw the clues about His Majesty Li Er's rambling and deliberately irritating Li Yuanchang and Hou Junji.
Although I don't know what His Majesty Li Er's back-up plan is, the emperor is obviously stalling for time, and Yang Fan certainly has to help.
Sure enough, when Hou Junji heard Yang Fan's words, he covered his chest and was speechless.
After a long while, his face turned pale. He ignored Yang Fan's scolding and knelt down on one knee in front of His Majesty Li Er. He shouted loudly: "Now that your Majesty has a dragon body and a sheep, please give your Majesty the throne to His Majesty the Crown Prince!"
Seeing this, the left guard soldiers could only follow Hou Junji and shout: "Your Majesty, please give the throne to His Highness the Crown Prince."
For a time, the calls for the emperor to take the Zen position came one after another, one voice louder than the other, spreading far away.
His Majesty Li Er looked at the group of rebellious officials and traitors in front of him with disdain. When the shouting gradually stopped, he asked: "How can you face my trust? Huh, I don't want to say more to you. Didn't you say Do you want me to take the Zen position? Where is the prince?"
Hou Junji felt a little embarrassed and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still in the East Palace. As long as His Majesty wishes to enthrone the throne, I will immediately set off to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to enthrone."
Your Majesty Li Er looks strange, even
Somewhat unbelievable.
Is it true that today's treasonous prince was not involved?
However, this also made His Majesty Li Er secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he once killed his brother, His Majesty Li Er never thought of killing his own son. After all, he was connected by flesh and blood!
But before His Majesty Li Er could speak, Li Yuanchang spoke first: "General Hou, this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome. Since His Highness the Crown Prince cares about the relationship between father and son and is unwilling to come to rebel, why do you have to be so warm to others?" Cold ass?"
Hou Junji frowned and asked, "What does the prince mean by this?"
Li Yuanchang chuckled: "General Hou, why would you ask knowingly? But since General Hou has asked, I will no longer hide it."
"General Hou, think about it. The prince is my second brother's biological son. If he ascends to the throne of God, will he still be able to enjoy our good fruits?"
"As long as you support my ascension to the throne, I can grant you the title of King with a different surname. This is my guarantee!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. They really didn't expect that Li Yuanchang actually wanted to be the emperor.
Of those present, perhaps only the association rate knew Li Yuanchang's ambitions.
After all, Han King Li Yuanchang promised him to return to the grassland and establish himself as king. If he did not become emperor, he would not have such rights at all.
But Li Yuanchang's words made the whole atmosphere weird.
For a time, the atmosphere on the entire mountaintop became tense.
Seeing that Hou Junxian did not agree immediately, Li Yuanchang couldn't help but secretly worry. The most taboo thing about such a treasonous and unethical act is long nights and many dreams.
Now we must launch a thunderous blow with lightning speed. Regardless of success or failure, we must cut through the mess quickly. Once we fall into a stalemate, it will definitely bring about too many variables.
And Hou Junji is what Li Yuanchang fears the most. In his opinion, Hou Junji controls the left army, so he can't help but treat him carelessly.
Of course, Li Yuanchang also secretly glanced at the association leader.
If Hou Junji refuses to drink wine as a penalty, then don't blame him Li Yuanchang.
But Hou Junji was still a little confused.
Although the prince Li Chengqian refused to follow in the rebellion, in any case, Hou Junji was really good to him.
But now the situation is stronger. Li Yuanchang not only has the help of the dead soldiers of the Jiangnan gentry, but also the Turkic soldiers. Hou Junji can only fight against it if he wants to resist.
Alas, I can't be the emperor anyway. It doesn't matter whoever becomes the emperor, as long as I don't treat him badly.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The general is willing to listen to the prince's orders. Please don't make a mistake when you come."
After saying that, he turned to the soldiers and said: "The emperor is ignorant and incompetent. He listened to the slander and intended to depose the prince and replace him with the king of Wei. In order to stabilize the society and relieve the people of the Tang Dynasty from the fire and water!"
"As men of the Tang Dynasty, we abandoned our families and sacrificed our lives in bloody battles to build the great Tang Dynasty. How can we sit back and watch the Yellow Emperor fall into crisis because of his ignorance?"
"At this moment, we should focus on the community, support the King of Han to ascend the throne, and jointly create great achievements for eternity."
"As long as the King of Han ascends the throne, he will certainly not hesitate to confer marquisships and titles, and we will be able to achieve unrivaled achievements and be granted the title of wife and son."
"My sons, all obey a certain order. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy..."
The soldiers on the left guard were a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Doesn’t the underlying meaning of these words mean to support the king of Han?
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, it is a justifiable act of forcing the throne, but if the King of Han ascends the throne, isn't it tantamount to rebellion?
What a girl!
I promised to protect His Majesty and suppress the rebellion, but it is my feelings that make me the thief!
But now it's hard to get off the tiger, and I don't know what to do.
After all, in ancient times, rebellion was a matter of losing one's head. How many people would dare to follow him?
What's more, everyone wants to punish rebellious ministers and traitors, so who wants to bear the eternal infamy?
You know, they are just the top soldiers, what does it have to do with who becomes the emperor?
Ever since, everyone was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do!
The rebellion in Xilihutu is already halfway through. Could it be that we tell the emperor that we were actually deceived and don’t know the truth at all?
Even if the emperor believed it, the national law was ruthless, and it would still be a serious crime to punish the nine tribes.
However, General Hou also said it!
Once the King of Han ascends the throne, we will not be rebelling, but will become ministers of the Dragon. Some people are jealous.
In particular, Hou Junji's confidants stood firmly on Hou Junji's side and loudly promised: "I will obey the general's order!"
Some people take the lead, and others can only follow.
Moreover, the matter has come to this, taking one step back will lead to an abyss, while taking one step forward may bring glory to the door. Anyway, your head is stuck in your belt, so you have no choice at all!
In an instant, the dead soldiers and Turkic soldiers who followed were suddenly aroused with ferocity and shouted: "The King of Han is a man of destiny, please give in, otherwise I will be killed without mercy!"
A sinister smile appeared on Li Yuanchang's face.
Knowing that morale had reached its peak, and he could not let His Majesty Li Er say anything to lower it, he shouted: "Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The rebels all around had red eyes, brandishing swords and spears in their hands, roaring and charging!
Seeing that the morale of the rebels was so high, His Majesty Li Er frowned. He did not expect that his seventh brother, whom he had always looked down upon, actually knew how to use morale.
However, His Majesty Li Er did not panic. The delaying tactic has been achieved. Now as long as he holds on for a while, he will definitely be able to catch all these thieves.
Seeing the rebels rushing up screaming, Yang Fan remained silent.
It was useless to say anything now. I could only see Zhenzhang under my hand. He raised the horizontal sword in his hand and blocked it in front of the emperor.
Facing the deafening cries of the rebels, the guards following Yang Fan were not afraid and fought to the death!
The rebels' attack was like an endless wave, wave after wave, and they launched an attack without fear of death!
They didn't want to become rebellious officials and traitors, so they had no choice but to defeat the soldiers protecting the emperor and let the King of Han ascend the throne!
Only in that way can they get rid of the charge of being traitors and traitors and become heroes who support the King of Han's ascension to the throne!
And the cavalry and the guards are like standing rocks, no matter how the waves beat, they remain firm!
They also understood that behind them was His Majesty the Emperor. Once the Emperor was captured by the rebels, death would surely be waiting for them.
But if the emperor can be saved, even if he dies, his wife, children, and children at home will definitely receive rewards from his majesty and die a worthy death.
Both sides were determined to die and refused to give an inch. The fighting was extremely brutal. The whole scene was full of blood and flesh, like a hell on earth.
Hou Junji looked at the fighting battlefield, his eyelids were twitching non-stop. He couldn't attack for a long time. The haze in his heart became heavier and heavier, and he had a bad premonition!
Suddenly, there was a burst of crackling gunfire from the rear line behind them.
Looking back, it was Zuo Wuwei, who had been blocked below, who had already launched his attack under the leadership of Cheng Yaojin.
Hou Junji was horrified and a little panicked.
If they cannot capture His Majesty Li Er as soon as possible and allow the emperor to escape, they will inevitably be annihilated by the army, and by then it will be too late.
Originally, the musketeers were used for desperate purposes and were Hou Junji's last resort to save his life. It seemed that they were no longer needed.
Thinking of this, Hou Junji gritted his teeth and waved his hand, directly letting the pistol team join the battle group.
The fighting situation at the scene became more and more fierce, and it was a mess.
Even if the cavalry and the guards are all warriors with one against ten, they will become very insignificant in the face of hot weapons.
Especially Baiqi, who was blocking the front, was directly shot into a hornet's nest by random gunshots, which made His Majesty Li Er feel very distressed.
Just when Li Er was filled with grief and anger, the rebel formation in front suddenly became chaotic, and a group of soldiers came from Hou Junji's rear formation to kill.
The first general, wearing a helmet and armor, was invincible with a horizontal sword in his hand, but he was already covered in blood.
Li Junxian shouted in surprise: "Your Majesty, it's General Cheng, we are saved."
His Majesty Li Er twitched his cheeks and said solemnly: "Immediately respond!"
"promise!"
Li Junxian received the order and personally led the most elite Baiqi Gao around him, Yingwaihe, into the enemy's formation.
Cheng Yaojin was covered in blood and had many injuries. When he suddenly saw His Majesty Li Er, he knelt down with a thud and cried out sadly: "I should be punished by death for frightening Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er did not complain or criticize at all. He took a step forward and took Cheng Yaojin's hand, saying emotionally: "It's just the right time to know the truth. It's all because I was too confident and thought everything was under control. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanchang , Hou Junji secretly mobilized so many rebels, it’s my fault!”
Cheng Yaojin wanted to stand up, but the world was spinning and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground with his head hanging.
He was slashed on the back by Hou Junji, and he was injured in many places during the charge. He lost countless liters of blood!
