Chapter 967: The Forbidden Palace Counterattacks (I)
"The prince rebelled? Just today? When Li Ke heard the news, he was first stunned, and then angry! Angry, he smashed several kinds of porcelain in the house, but his anger still did not subside.
Yang Qingzheng, who was standing on the side, felt very strange, why was he angry when the prince rebelled, it seems that the two have nothing to do with each other, right? Could it be that Li Ke is afraid that the crown prince will snatch the throne and have no share for himself? Wouldn't it be nice to do it again?
Yang Qingzheng really couldn't understand how angry Li Ke was at the moment, he didn't understand how much effort Li Ke had put into rebellion.
A few years ago, he united with the Church of Our Lady, and with great difficulty, he was fortunate enough to collect a reserve of grain and grass through the Church of Our Lady, which he used to secretly train the army.
Then the peripheral congregations of the Church of Our Lady were almost served by the imperial court, and almost all the churches in Bashu were destroyed. However, he barely kept the source of grain and grass, and with the first batch of grain and grass guarantees, the later grain and grass were much easier.
Later, he persuaded the Church of Our Lady to let the people of the Religion of Our Lady control the two checkpoints in the Western Regions, persuaded the Western Regions to form a coalition, and persuaded Xue Yantuo to attack the Tang Dynasty together, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters to obtain the throne.
Unexpectedly, the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions were thirty-six mud, and none of them could support the wall, and more than 200,000 people were killed by the 10,000 people led by Chen Fei.
Xue Yantuo was even more waste, and he killed Chang'an violently, but he was beaten and destroyed the country, which made him feel that he had nowhere to vent his strength.
finally made him feel that the prince had rebellion, and he wanted to rebel with the help of the prince's hand, and he followed behind to fish in troubled waters. Who knew that the prince didn't even say hello and directly raised troops to rebel!
What made him vomit blood was that, judging from Yang Qingzheng's report, the prince was clearly in a hurry, and he was actually not ready at all.
If the palace is forced to fail, the father will definitely be wary of the princes, and it will be really difficult for him to rebel.
What made him angry the most was that the prince, a bastard, actually used a thunderbolt fire! In order to get the thunderbolt, Li Ke asked the Church of Our Lady to go to great lengths to arrange "his own people" in several cities in the north, in order to get the reserve of thunderbolts placed by the imperial court in the northern cities.
As a result, Li Chengqian was good, I don't know where he got the thunderbolt fire, but he actually used it directly! Li Ke could predict that no matter whether Li Chengqian succeeded or failed, after this incident passed, the thunderbolts placed outside the place would definitely be recalled in full, and it would undoubtedly be even more difficult to get them again.
And he had to hand over the thunderbolt that he had already sneaked up on now! Li Ke is a smart person, he can predict that after this incident, the monarchs and ministers of the court will definitely be extremely sensitive to thunderbolts, and count the thunderbolt stocks in each city.
Now leaving the thunderbolt fire in your hands has become a hot potato! All this is thanks to Li Chengqian! How could Li Ke not hate him?
"Li Chengqian, you bastard who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures! Just because you also want to rebel and ascend to the throne? It's a dream! Li Ke cursed in the room constantly, and suddenly, he glanced at Yang Qingzheng, who was stunned on the side, and said angrily: "Idiot! What are you still doing here? Go and get the Notre Dame people! ”
Yang Qingzheng was scolded for no reason, and he responded depressedly, and went out to inform the people of the Holy Mother Sect.........
In the palace, at the rebel office, Zhao Jie received an arrow on his arm, blood soaked his sleeve, and the right hand of the arrow trembled slightly, and the blood continued to flow down.
What made him tremble was not the wound on his arm, but the large group of soldiers who appeared in front of the forbidden palace, holding a pitch-black bow and arrow, indifferently facing him, as if he were facing a dead man!
Zhao Jie suddenly felt cold all over, and he realized that the Praetorian Guards of the Imperial Palace were not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
The reason why he was able to quickly capture the Xuanwu Gate was just to take advantage of a surprise. Now that the other party has reacted, the situation may not be so optimistic!
The center of the forbidden army suddenly made a way, and three black cannons were pushed out, Li Tao followed the cannon out, saw Hou Junji sighed slightly, and then asked in a stern tone: "Hou Junji!" Do you know what you're doing? ”
Hou Junji squinted his eyes and stared at Li Tao for a while, and sneered: "I know! What can you do with me? ”
"General Hou, you should have a great future, you don't have to be like this." Li Tao said bitterly, he really felt sorry for Hou Junji. In terms of military merit and ability, this person is not under him, why do he want to rebel, ruin his good future, and finally be infamous as a thief.
"General Li, do you conclude that I will fail?"
"You don't have a chance." Li Tao shook his head, "If you are willing to lay down your arms and surrender now, maybe Your Majesty will take your life, at most remove you from your official position, and exile for thousands of miles." ”
"Joke! What is the difference between removing me from my official position and exile for thousands of miles and killing me directly? Now that you've come this far, there's no going back! I, Hou Junji, would rather die in battle than surrender! Without further ado, go to war! Hou Junji gave an order, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed forward with their weapons.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers rushed in formation, this battle was definitely not a joke, Li Tao only had less than a thousand troops in his hands, and there was no danger to rely on, it was definitely a difficult thing to block.
However, he is also a veteran of a hundred battles, and he doesn't know how many times he has experienced large and small scenes, so how can he be frightened by the battle in front of him. I saw that he calmly commanded the archers to release their arrows, the spearmen formed a formation, and found the enemy's soldiers with thunderbolts, and directed the direction of the cannons......
"Boom!" A cannon roared, and one of the rebels was about to rush forward with a thunderbolt, and the soldier who was about to throw the thunderbolt in his hand was just halfway through his movements, when he suddenly felt numbness in his body, and then his whole body fell to the ground, and he died quickly.
The rebels beside him ran away in horror, the soldier died too miserably, the lower half of his body was pierced, his colorful intestines flowed all over the ground, and what was even more frightening was that the thunderbolt fire in his hand had been lit and had not yet been thrown out!
"Boom!" A thunderbolt exploded in the midst of the rebels, and the rebels suddenly rioted, and Li Tao seized this opportunity and shouted: "Lao Cheng! Captain Chi! It's up to you! ”
There was a burst of excited laughter from the left side of the rebels, and Cheng Yanjin appeared with more than a thousand soldiers like a demon king of the mixed world.
"Hahaha! Lao Li, well done, let's hand it over to me Lao Cheng next! ”
Chi Gong, the lieutenant on the right, also led more than 1,000 soldiers, cutting into the battlefield from the side like a black whirlwind. "It's been a long time since I've killed so much! Fuck it! Brothers, be cruel to Lao Tzu! If you can't let go of the rebels, I'll put you down! ”
Hou Junji saw the two armies flanking, his face was gloomy and ugly!
