Lin Jue went to the middle motorcade to visit Guo Bing and the princess who were in the car. The princess was very happy to see Lin Jue, but Guo Bing seemed very depressed and sighed after seeing Lin Jue.
"What should we do? What should we do? We are all going to die here. No one can save us. I am confused. I shouldn't have persuaded Kuner to raise an army. Lin Jue, it's all over now, it's all over, we're afraid
They’re all going to die.”
Lin Jue frowned and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry. The matter has come to this. It is useless to blame yourself and worry. My son-in-law will do his best to ensure that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are well taken care of."
The princess scolded from the side: "You father and son are like this. Every time the critical moment comes, you will be decadent and blame yourself. But what's the use? Today's results are all due to yesterday's causes. At worst, they all die here, so what? What's the good thing?
Afraid? When I advised you not to take risks before, you father and son turned a deaf ear and said that I am a woman. Now let’s talk about these depressing words. Lin Jue, you go and act on your own. It doesn’t matter even if they all die here, but do your best.
That’s all. It’s because they didn’t listen to your opinion and left that the current situation has arisen. You can make your own decisions in the future, so there’s no need to ask the prince.”
Lin Jue admired in his heart that at the critical moment, the princess was quite courageous and looked like a hero among women. He didn't want to listen to Guo Bing's self-blaming words, and he didn't have time to listen. Then he came to the car behind him.
Lin Jue visited Guo Kun and saw several women hugging Guo Kun and crying. Guo Kun was covered in blood and his face was like gold paper and he was in a coma. He was obviously seriously injured. Lin Jue had no time to check the injury and had to put it down.
Mount the carriage curtain.
Turning around, he saw that in addition to the family's vehicles, there were more than a dozen large carts piled high behind him. The horses were pulling them with great difficulty, and there were servants helping to push the carts. Lin Jue rode over and stood tall.
He asked in a loud voice: "What are the things on this car?"
One of the palace stewards shouted: "Jun Ma, these are some soft things made of gold and silver."
Lin Jue breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and rode back. A fierce battle was going on in the outer battle groups. The gap opened by Lin Jue and others was quickly filled, and more and more soldiers and horses arrived. Now Lin Jue and others also
Trapped in the middle together.
When Shen Tan saw Lin Jue rushing back, he gasped and asked, "It's troublesome, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."
Lin Jue said: "I have a way, just hold on. Ask some brothers to follow me."
Shen Tan hurriedly called a few guards to follow Lin Jue. Lin Jue rode back and came to a dozen carts filled with gold, silver, soft goods, etc. and gave some instructions. Several guards and Lin Jue started to jump into the big carriage.
He went up to the car, cut the binding ropes, and kicked down the box and cage. Then he slashed open the box and cage with his knife, lifted it up, rushed to the rear where the fight was taking place, and threw it out.
"Crash!" The boxes and cages spread out, and yellow and white things were scattered all over the floor.
"Hurry up and grab the gold and silver jewels. Whoever grabs them belongs to the one who owns them." Lin Jue shouted loudly. The soldiers who were still rushing to kill the besieging soldiers immediately pounced on the gold and silver on the ground like wolves and tigers, and desperately grabbed it into their arms.
The situation suddenly became chaotic. The generals leading the army could not restrain themselves.
"Black, rush." The boxes of gold and silver, the fines of the gold and silver, were lifted to the ground by the Guardian of the palace, and the ground was full of gold and silver jewelry. Some soldiers could bear it.
But seeing the gold and silver treasures everywhere, even gods are tempted.
The looting quickly spread from a small area to more than half of the square. From dozens of people participating in the looting to hundreds or even thousands, in the end all the fighting soldiers had no intention of fighting. Like dogs waiting for bones under the table, they waited for the forest with gleaming eyes.
Jie waited for the guards to throw out the gold and silver.
Lin Jue did not stop, and ordered his people to overturn the remaining seven or eight soft gold and silver vehicles to the ground, and the gold and silver rolled down on the ground. The Forbidden Army soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers. Lin Jue and others He rode off and watched with satisfaction as soldiers from both sides swarmed in to join in the fight.
"Kill!" Shen Tan in front shouted
Roaring angrily, the royal guards concentrated their strength and rushed forward, scattering hundreds of soldiers who were keeping their own. They finally broke out of the quagmire-like siege, broke out of Taiping Xingguo Temple Square for the first time, and embarked on the long road to the south. street.
…
However, although they broke out of the encirclement, they only temporarily got rid of the entanglement of the Forbidden Army soldiers. Going south along the long street and only breaking out of the land of Lixu, there was already movement behind them.
Lin Jue reined up his horse and looked back, but he saw countless soldiers and horses rushing from the north street on the long street. The cavalry rose and fell, suddenly like a torrential rain. The black cavalry came like a tide. It was after the battle on the cross street that Yang A large group of troops led by Jun and others came to the rescue.
Facing the large group of cavalry chasing after them, everyone felt terrified. Thousands of cavalry rushed into the formation, which was beyond the ability of hundreds of our own people to resist. Shen Tan and other palace guards had expressions of despair on their faces.
"Commander Shen, you escort the prince and princess to leave first. Leave three hundred brothers behind to follow me to stop the cavalry." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
Shen Tan shook his head and said: "Brother Lin, it's better for you to take the prince, princess and the others away first. I'll resist them for a while. I am the commander of the palace guards, so I should be the one to resist them."
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Are you sure you can stop them?"
Shen Tan gritted his teeth and said: "If you can block it, you have to block it, if you can't block it, you have to block it. The worst is to die here."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Who can't die? What nonsense can you say after death? I don't want to die. Don't look at the opponent's cavalry. However, such a street only allows them to charge in parallel with twenty or thirty cavalry. That is not sending dumplings." What?"
Shen Tan said in astonishment: "Could it be that Brother Lin has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?"
Lin Jue sneered and said: "There is no way to retreat from the enemy, but I also have my own methods. Moreover, my reinforcements have also arrived."
Lin Jue pointed toward the front of the motorcade. But he saw dozens of horses galloping from the street ahead. It was Sun Dayong who came from Lin's house and more than 60 Lin family guards. Shen Tan thought it was a large group of soldiers at first. When he saw that only sixty or seventy people had arrived, he smacked his lips and smiled bitterly.
"I'm afraid it won't help if we have dozens more brothers."
Lin Jue laughed and said: "That's your opinion. With these dozens of brothers, I will be even more powerful. Brother Shen, since you think we can't escape, why abandon all worries and fight for life and death? Get the guards ready immediately. Bows and arrows, I know you are equipped with powerful crossbows, and you need strong bows and powerful crossbows at this moment to block the attack. Hurry up and give the order, they are coming."
Shen Tan was not a person who was afraid of death, and what he said was not a sign of cowardice. He was just regretful that he could not protect the prince, princess and others from danger. When it came to fighting to the death, he was not afraid at all. He shouted loudly: " Everyone listen, from now on, everyone in the palace will be under the unified command of the Commander-in-Chief. From now on, I, Shen Tan, will only be a pawn under the Commander-in-Chief. We will listen to the Commander-in-Chief and fight to the end, and we will never be cowards. Did you hear that?”
None of the guards expected to be alive today. These people were all the elite guards of the palace. When Liang Wang Guo Bing was demoted from the title of prince to county king, thousands of guards in the palace went through a major reduction and were carefully selected to stay. There are more than a thousand loyal and highly skilled manpower. Because it exceeds the quota, Lin Jue Mansion has taken in more than a hundred people. The remaining more than a hundred people are even willing to stay in the palace as servants and guards. All of these people are Elite soldiers who are not afraid of death. Because of this, they have been able to survive until now. Ordinary people would have collapsed in this situation. There is no way to fight.
Sun Dayong and others arrived on horseback. Seeing this situation, they apologized repeatedly: "My lord, please forgive me, but we were blocked by the soldiers and horses at the checkpoint for a while. We had to deal with them for a while. We are late. We are late."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's not too late, it's just the right time. This is the time for you to show off your skills. Brothers, listen to my orders and prepare to meet the enemy!"
From behind, nearly five thousand cavalry swarmed along the long street. The entire Taiping Xingguo Temple Street was almost filled with black cavalry. They did not launch a direct charge. The cavalry rushing and charging are two different things. Charging requires formation, and rushing
It does not need.
Of course, charging on such a long street does not require a special formation, but it also needs to be adjusted. The generals and soldiers of the Ma Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty knew this in their hearts. There was no need to give orders, but they also needed to make adjustments.
Outside, the cavalry slowly stopped and waited for orders.
Yang Jun rode a tall, snow-white horse and rode to the front in the passage given by the soldiers. His expression was solemn. Although he had just defeated Guo Kun's eight thousand soldiers and horses in the cross street, that was not the case.
It is not worthy of praise. Guo Kun disobeyed orders and mobilized troops to gather secretly. When he was preparing to raise troops, Yang Jun had already received the news. For Yang Jun, a fledgling leader like Guo Kun was not his opponent at all. Guo Kun
Every move he made fell into the trap designed by him. As if he was marching according to the path he pointed out to him, Guo Kun plunged into the trap of Hengjie. After that, there was no suspense about the outcome.
Yang Jun sat on the horse and asked in a deep voice: "Are those in front of you those people from Prince Liang's mansion?"
The general next to him hurriedly replied: "Sir, it's them."
Yang Jun frowned and said: "It looks like there are only a thousand people. I ordered General Luo and the others to bring three thousand soldiers and horses to attack the palace, and ordered the soldiers and horses from Sao nearby to come to assist. Why did I let them rush to the street?"
The general next to him hurriedly said: "I heard that Mr. Lin, the third commander of the army, came to rescue his father-in-law. Mr. Lin was very generous and scattered all the gold and silver brought out from the palace on the ground, causing the soldiers to rob him.
.rushed out in the chaos."
Yang Jun was startled, then burst into laughter and said: "Lin Jue is among them too? Hahaha, Shuzi is still a bit quick-witted, but how can this expedient measure guarantee their escape? It doesn't matter if he comes, he will catch them all. I know him.
I can't sit still anymore. But looting gold and silver during the battle violated military discipline. Where is Luo Pingchang? Call me to see me."
Everyone hurriedly passed the order, and soon a general rushed over and came to the head of Yang Jun's horse to salute hurriedly.
Yang Jun stared at him and said: "General Luo, is this how you lead the army in the war? Soldiers on the battlefield ignore the war in order to rob gold and silver. This is a taboo in military discipline. Do you know your crime?"
Luo Pingchang hurriedly said: "I know that I have sinned against you. Please forgive me, Mr. Yang. From now on, I will be strictly restrained and I will never be negligent."
Yang Jun sneered and said: "I heard that you like to drink wine, hook up with prostitutes, gamble and have fun in the military camp on weekdays. It makes it a mess. With a general like you, how can the soldiers under your command have good military discipline? Forget it on weekdays, today is a battle.
On the battlefield, military law is ruthless. I won't spare you. If someone comes, drag me down and behead you."
Luo Pingchang was so frightened that he almost fainted and shouted loudly: "Spare your life, sir, please forgive me. I will never dare to hold such a lowly position again. Please spare your life."
Several personal guards on both sides rushed up and dragged Luo Pingchang down, who was screaming for mercy. Soon after, they came to take Luo Pingchang's bloody head to kill him. The generals were silent, and Yang Jun said in a deep voice: "Everyone, remember this
, You can be more indulgent on weekdays, but don’t forget that you are leading the troops and are responsible for the military discipline of the soldiers under your command. This kind of thing will never be tolerated during wartime. This is just a small counterinsurgency.
That's right, the Liao people's tiger and wolf divisions will lead to the destruction of the country and the annihilation of the species? Remember this, and send an order later. Those who have robbed gold and silver must be handed over. If there is any private possession, they will be beheaded."
Everyone agreed in unison. Yang Jun stroked his beard with satisfaction, and then focused his attention on the opponent in front again. After such a delay, the opponent's convoy was already outside Li Xu. But six or seven hundred steps away, there seemed to be countless
Hundreds of people stopped and turned their horses' heads to face themselves.
