Chapter 2703 Punish the thieves of the country! Qingjun's side! Kill!
At this time, Wang Yong, the Minister of War at the front, noticed something, that is, Zhang Liang was still sitting on horseback outside the ancestral temple.
The generals of the Jinwu Guard around him were also sitting on the backs of their mounts without any intention of dismounting to greet the Emperor.
At this time, Wang Bingbu, who was in charge of the guide, immediately became angry. He immediately pulled his face, galloped forward, raised the whip in his hand and shouted loudly.
"General Zhang, what are you doing? Your imperial chariot, Lu Bu, has arrived. You and other military ministers, why don't you dismount your horses to greet us?"
"It's so disrespectful of etiquette, it's simply unbecoming!"
Zhang Liang's face twitched and he let out a cry. He pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist and pointed it directly at Wang Yong who was playing tune in front of him. He exhaled and his roar sounded so upright and awe-inspiring.
"Traitor! You, you, sent people to assassinate the prince but failed, and then sent people north to poison your majesty. Now, you are holding the legitimate prince hostage, intending to hold the emperor hostage to order the princes."
"Now Zhang Liang is here to see through the treacherous plots of your rebellious ministers and traitors. The soldiers of Zuo Jin Wu's guards will obey the orders and act on behalf of heaven, kill the traitors of the country, and clear the emperor's side."
"Execute the traitors of the country! Qing Jun's side!" In an instant, the armored elites standing guard outside the ancestral temple with spears suddenly let out a roar that shook the sky!
"?!?!?!" Wang Yong was completely stunned, staring blankly at the Zuo Jinwu guards opposite, who were raising their swords and guns in unison.
Zhang Liang shouted sharply, and among the crowd, the bows and crossbows that had been ready to go were all loosened.
Wang Yong couldn't even utter a scream before he was shot into a hedgehog by both men and horses.
"Kill the traitors! Qingjun side! Kill!" Zhang Liang's confidants roared wildly, waved their weapons and began to gallop out.
More than 2,000 armored elites guarding outside the ancestral temple began to move forward, striding forward.
Behind them, hundreds of elite archers kept loosening their strings, but with just one breath, the six ministers who were leading the van were all shot down from their horses.
The sudden rise of the Jinwu Guards immediately caused chaos among the leadership team.
The escorting Imperial Guards quickly picked up the cards in their hands and drew out their horizontal knives, intending to resist stubbornly. However, many personnel had already begun to run around crying and shouting for their mothers.
Under the loud shouts of Zhang Liang and a group of Jinwu Guard generals, almost all the Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers responded loudly, roaring to kill the traitors of the country and clear the emperor.
The voices became more and more uniform, and their hands holding weapons no longer trembled, but appeared more determined and full of justice.
#####
The guide team was no more than Li Xu away from the Baiguan team where Chang Sun Wuji and others were.
And from the direction of the ancestral temple directly in front, roars were heard, and the sound of fighting suddenly began to spread.
Changsun Wuji's expression changed, and he looked at each other with Zheng Yuanshou, who had the same bent expression.
Zheng Yuanshou forced a smile and stroked his long beard.
"Thinking about it, it should be the group of dead soldiers who razed Yuanqiu and Fangqiu to the ground. Seeing that they failed to stop the enthronement ceremony, they just tried to block the car today."
These words made Changsun Wuji feel relieved, and he was right. He had already guessed before that the Cheng family was most likely responsible for the trouble.
Given the nature of the Cheng family, if they see that their plan fails, they may become angry and do something outrageous.
Changsun Wuji was about to make some reserved comments when he heard noises and shouts coming from not far behind him.
There was also the sound of galloping hooves coming from far and near, like thunder.
Most of the people in the official team looked back in astonishment. The Jinwu guards who were originally standing on both sides of the official road were now being driven away by the general to give them some space.
At this moment, on the gentle slope not far away, at least a thousand riders were speeding toward the official road.
And on the top of the gentle slope, two big flags were already planted. On one side, it read: Execute the traitors of the country. On the other side, it read: On the side of the Qing Dynasty.
"!!" Changsun Wuji's face suddenly lost all color, and his eyes suddenly stared horribly to the extreme.
The sound of fighting in front gradually turned into a uniform roar of "Kill the traitors of the country, Qingjun side", each roar was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.
The sound struck the ears of these rebellious officials and traitors, making them turn pale, staggering and trembling.
Zheng Yuanshou's face was full of disbelief, and the two flags that appeared in front of him that day, "Practice for Heaven" and "Eliminate traitors for the country" flashed through his mind.
Gradually, it was combined with the banners of "Killing the Nation's Thieves" and "Qingjun Side" erected here.
"What's going on? It's impossible. This is absolutely impossible!"
Zhang Liang, that despicable man, clearly had no dealings with the old Cheng family and was even an enemy of each other. How could he collude with the Cheng family?
#####
Li Zhi's eyes widened at this moment, and he stared blankly at the more than a thousand cavalry galloping from a distance, and even saw the two large flags erected high on the gentle slope.
However, the Jinwu guards who were originally on guard on both sides of the official road actually dispersed, leaving a large open space.
The Qianniu Guards around him had already begun to form formation after the initial panic, amid the general's scoldings.
But at this moment, the more than a thousand iron cavalry were already rushing towards them like lightning.
At that moment, the loyal Eunuch An rushed over desperately and viciously threw Li Zhi onto the imperial chariot.
Several equally loyal eunuchs also followed suit, using their incomplete bodies to form a perfect, almost suffocating pile of flesh.
The reason why they did this was of course not to crush Li Zhi to death, but to protect the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty from being attacked by cold arrows.
Just as the men on the chariots were mounting men, in the blink of an eye, the cavalry directly smashed Qianniuwei's thin lineup into pieces, and the cavalry rushed to the left and right crazily.
How could the infantry of the Thousand Niu Guards be a match for these cavalry that were charging at full speed? The formation was quickly broken into pieces.
With the clamor of the generals, more and more Jinwu Guards officers and soldiers were coerced into joining this raid shouting the slogan of justice after the initial confusion.
Cheng Sanlang was stroking his long beard and was wandering around the Luoshui River. After all, the team had left for a long time and he couldn't continue to stay in a daze.
Just as he was wandering around, boasting and farting with his followers, nearly a hundred riders were galloping slowly in the square in front of the palace.
The prison guard general who was guarding the open palace gate strode forward, unwillingly raising his hand to signal the hundreds of mounted Jinwu guards to stay.
"Today's ceremony, you should be patrolling the outside, why don't you retreat quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, a crossbowman hiding in the cavalry team had already pulled the trigger.
A dark crossbow was lost, and lightning struck, directly piercing the general's breastplate deeply, and penetrated through the armor...
