Chapter 270: Hou Junji is captured


Hou Junji came to the forward formation without a trace of defense.

"Li Mu.

The gold medal in your hand no longer works, and Ben Shuai is here to eliminate the rebellion at the behest of His Majesty.

If you want to live, open the village gate and surrender, otherwise once the commander orders the attack, the village will be burned, and it will be too late to regret it. ” Li Mu held the iron cylinder and shouted: "Duke Luguo, Your Majesty promised in the palace today that I am not the son of King Xi, how can it be that you will falsely pass on the holy decree?"

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hou Junji thought about it wrong, if Li Mu was allowed to continue talking, then the military spirit of the forbidden army would not be dispersed So, he decisively ordered: "The crossbowmen suppress the city walls, and the forward strikes." ” In an instant, crossbow arrows shot at the walls like locusts.

The vanguard of the forbidden army was also personally supervised by Hou Junji, and approached the gate of the village step by step.

Li Mu threw away the iron cylinder at this time and quickly went down the city tower. shouted to Li Yi: "Li Yi, it's up to you." ” The second battalion led by Li Shi at the gate of Zhuangmen was a heavy armored soldier, and at the moment when the forbidden army's bow and crossbow were fired, Li Shi had already ordered an attack.

The two armies were already a hundred paces apart, and the two rushed into each other and quickly collided.

The battle between the heavy infantry is endurance, and under the entanglement of the two phases, the one with the strong armor and the sword has a good chance of winning, but the battle time is very long.

And because of this, Li Yi's cavalry was given a chance.

When the door of the village slowly opened, Hou Junji stood in his original position and did not move at all.

He wondered how the crossbowmen on the city walls didn't shoot arrows at the front of the Praetorian army Unless the soldiers were scared silly Because the scope of the battlefield is very small, but the distance is only a hundred steps, the front line of the three thousand forbidden army is forming an encirclement of the five hundred divine guards.

And the 8,000 soldiers of the Chinese army are also moving forward, only two or three hundred steps away from Hou Junji, there is no need to retreat at all, as long as they breathe, they can meet Hou Junji.

At this time, the sound of "pop" and "pop" on the city wall and several hammers hitting the bed crossbow machine sounded.

Six crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm shot out with a whistling sound of "buzz" and "buzz".

Immediately after that, there were six more.

"Bed crossbow."

Hou Junji's guards quickly threw Hou Junji to the ground.

It was this pounce that made Hou Junji completely lose the time to flee.

The advancing Chinese army was thrown into chaos by twelve crossbow arrows, which hit badly, but they were extremely powerful, and they could not be stopped by manpower, and if they were unlucky, they would hurt their muscles and bones if they were touched, and if they were shot, they would pierce them.

Therefore, the soldier's subconscious reaction is to dodge.

Dodging caused confusion in the formation and delayed the pace of progress.

At this time, the crossbow battalion led by Xue Li on the city wall began to shoot in real coverage.

Each round was hundreds of arrows, passing over the heads of the Forbidden Army's vanguard and the Shenji Guard Second Battalion, whistling and flying towards the junction of the Forbidden Army's vanguard and the Chinese army.

Temporarily blocked the advance route of the Chinese army.

When Hou Junji got up from the ground, Li Yi's cavalry battalion had already appeared at the gate of the village.

Hou Junji's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Cavalry." ” Quickly turn around and flee back.

But when he turned around, Hou Junji found that the dense crossbow arrows had cut off his escape path.

Only then did he understand why there were no arrows on the city wall when the Forbidden Army attacked.

Hou Junji reacted quickly, and he hissed and roared: "Stand shield, stand shield." ” But he knew in his heart that without the spearmen of the Chinese army coming up, the sword and shield soldiers who relied on the front could not stop the cavalry charge at all. can only be regarded as a dead horse doctor, and it can be delayed for a moment.

Hou Junji could only hope that the Chinese army within his sight could quickly step forward and resist the cavalry.

The Chinese army, which was less than fifty paces away, was unable to pass through the dense crossbow array and rush to rescue Hou Junji for a while.

This time difference was caught by Li Yi's cavalry.

It's too late, it's too soon.

Five hundred cavalry gathered in front of the village gate into a cone and quickly rushed to the front of the forbidden army.

At the first time, Li Shi's divine guards took the initiative to move to the sides of the side, driving the entangled forbidden army forwards to crack a hole in the middle.

The cavalry was far from even reaching the limit of the speed of the charge before they had already killed Hou Junji.

Facing the dense lance on top of the Shenji Guard cavalry, Hou Junji threw down the horizontal knife at his waist and surrendered.

On the city wall, Li Mu immediately issued an order to withdraw.

Five hundred cavalry faced the gun array of the right guard Zhongjun, escorting Hou Junji and slowly retreating into the village.

Without the 20,000 forbidden troops of the great general Hou Junji and the general Liu Shili, they were paralyzed like a long snake that had lost its head.

They did not know whether to attack, or to retreat.

This is still a battle-hardened right guard, and if it were replaced by a normal guard, it would have collapsed long ago.

After the captains of the army gathered to deliberate, they decided to return to Beijing to report to the emperor.

The rest were afraid of the surprise attack of the god guards, so they retreated five miles and set up camp. 。

Such a result is something that no one could have imagined, not to mention Hou Junji and his right guard, even Li Mu and the others did not expect the battle to be so smooth.

Of course, this victory was not entirely achieved by virtue of combat power.

It's more because of Hou Junji's light enemies and his ignorance of the equipment and combat habits of the Divine Guard.

If Hou Junji hadn't been led to the forward position by Li Mu, if Hou Junji's Chinese soldiers could quickly break through the crossbow covered area regardless of casualties, then now, I'm afraid there would still be a vicious fight.

But victory is victory, there are not so many assumptions.

Hou Junji has not fully recovered yet.

It felt like a dream to him.

The 20,000 forbidden army, the forbidden army led by himself, did not arrive in a single round, and the main general became a prisoner.

Hou Junji only regretted it at this time, and he should not have launched an attack without authorization.

Li Mu is Li Jiancheng's son, so what will happen to him is also from this time, Hou Junji began to worry about his situation.

When Li Mu walked towards Hou Junji, Hou Junji's heart was full of fear.

Hou Junji is a veteran of the battlefield, he thought that he was not afraid of life and death, but at this time, he found that he was afraid of death, very afraid.

The murderer, who does not wait to be killed, cannot experience the fear of death.

"Lu Guogong, let's talk about it, why did you attack without authorization" Li Mu had already received reports from the wolf's tooth guard at this time, and only Hou Junji's right guard set off in Chang'an City, which showed that Li Shimin had no intention of attacking.

Because Li Shimin knew the strength of the Divine Guard, and even more so the power of the Heavenly Thunder, if he wanted to attack, it would be impossible for him to send only one guard of the forbidden army.

In other words, if you really want to destroy Lijiazhuang, I'm afraid that these 20,000 people are just cannon fodder.

Li Mu didn't even use the heavenly thunder, not because he didn't dare, but because he couldn't bear it.

I can't bear to take the lives of these forbidden soldiers.

Otherwise, the minefield planted in front of Zhuang can wipe out the 3,000 forbidden army forwards.

Hou Junji thought that Li Mu already knew Li Shimin's will, and he was even more uneasy in his heart
