Chapter 159 Reactions from all parties
The most brutal fight took place here with Jia Cong!
Although Jia Cong was ferocious, he was still a human being after all. He would get tired and feel pain. The guards around him were even worse. It was obvious that the opponents were all death warriors, and each of them was fearless of death. Even though their fighting power was not high, the damage they caused to the guards was enormous.
In just a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen guards died!
As time went by, the enemy's casualties became more and more serious. There were probably thirty to fifty people who died at the hands of Jia Cong alone. Even so, the enemy still had two hundred people, and there were less than twenty royal guards around Jia Cong! Moreover, these twenty people were all injured and exhausted!
At this moment, Jia Cong was covered in blood, some of which were his own and some were from the enemy! He held two guns in his hands, and even though his arms were sore, he remained calm and knocked down the men in black who rushed up one by one.
Emperor Longxing behind was also extremely anxious. He could see that Jia Cong and others could not hold on for much longer!
Moreover, he didn't dare to run around now. No one knew if there were any ambushes in the dense forest behind the mountain! Unless there was no hope, he could only resign himself to fate and rush into the dense forest to find a glimmer of hope.
Emperor Longxing calmed himself down, watching Jia Cong's blood flowing, and several guards dying tragically. He suddenly stood up and shouted to the people around him, "Now that the situation has been determined, whether it's a human or a ghost, it's time for them to show up!"
"Hahaha!"
A loud laugh came from the dense forest behind the man in black, and then a man in armor walked out slowly with a dozen men in black!
"Father, I am the winner today!"
"Li Chu!" Emperor Longxing shouted with a gloomy face. This was actually planned by the eldest prince Li Chu. It was both reasonable and unexpected.
"My dear son, do you want to kill your father? Do you think that if you kill me, the throne will be yours?"
Li Chu sneered, "Father, I don't want to do this, but I am the eldest son, and the throne should be mine. But have you ever looked at me? I'm afraid you've never thought of letting me inherit the throne. But since Father doesn't want to give it to me, I can only take it myself."
"Of course, if Father were to issue an edict to transfer the throne now, I would not necessarily have to do anything extreme!"
Emperor Longxing sneered, "Wishful thinking!"
"In that case, there is no need to talk anymore! When father dies, someone will naturally take the blame, and I am the one who wants to save him!" Li Chu certainly knew that Emperor Longxing wanted to delay time, but he was not stupid enough to negotiate with Emperor Longxing for half an hour.
"Kill, don't hold back!"
The men in black rushed forward again. Jia Cong took a few steps back and fought with them again with his two guns in his hands! The two guards who were originally guarding Emperor Longxing could not help but rush up and fight alongside Jia Cong.
The rest of the guards were almost all killed or wounded, but fortunately the three of them could still hold off a few for the time being.
"Jia Cong!" Li Chu shouted, "I am also good at fighting, and I am most happy with a young general like you. If you step aside now, after I ascend the throne, I will make you a duke and restore the former glory of the Jia family!"
Jia Cong rushed forward and strung the two men in black together, then retreated again. "The Jia family has been loyal to the emperor for generations. I'm afraid we are not traitors, but we have failed your Highness' kindness."
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to live, but you won't leave. I'll kill you!"
The remaining men in black rushed up like a beehive!
Jia Cong knew that there was no chance, so he shouted, "Your Majesty, please retreat immediately. I will repay your grace in my next life! Linzhou, Cui Tong, follow me and charge forward. Capture the thief and the king. Kill him!"
After that, Jia Cong stopped defending and rushed directly towards Li Chu! However, he was surrounded by the men in black in just a moment .
Emperor Longxing gritted his teeth. He was about to turn around and flee, but he heard the sound of galloping war horses not far away.
Jia Cong's expression immediately brightened up, "Kill, our reinforcements have arrived!"
Li Chu's expression changed. Wang Ziteng's reinforcements arrived faster than he expected!
"Kill, don't worry about Jia Cong, kill the emperor for me!"
Almost at the same time, Wang Ziteng appeared, "Your Majesty, I am late to save you! Charge forward and protect Your Majesty. The rest of you follow me!"
Although Wang Ziteng only brought two thousand soldiers, it was enough to change the current situation. One of the soldiers went straight forward to surround the emperor, while the other rushed directly towards the other men in black.
Jia Cong used the last of his strength to kill several men in black nearby, but he could no longer hold on and fell down.
"Don't worry about me, go save Jia Cong!" Emperor Longxing shouted and rushed forward.
"Your Majesty, please be careful of the rebellious remnants!" Wang Ziteng rushed forward to stop them, but was kicked away by Emperor Longxing. "Go and save Jia Cong!"
The battle was going to be a one-sided battle. The remaining men in black were exhausted and were slaughtered by the soldiers of the Beijing camp like chopping melons and vegetables. As for the eldest prince Li Chu, no one knew whose stinky socks had stuffed his mouth in his mouth, and he couldn't speak.
"Your Majesty, save the general!"
A voice was heard, and Emperor Longxing's face changed. He hurried forward again, and several soldiers had already carried Jia Cong over.
"Jia Cong!" Emperor Longxing exclaimed, and then asked anxiously, "How is Jia Cong?"
"Your Majesty, the Earl is seriously injured and in danger!"
"Return to the gold account immediately and ask the imperial physician to treat Jia Cong's injuries!"
"Your Majesty, there are still many rebels at the moment. Why don't you wait another quarter of an hour? The next 5,000 soldiers will arrive immediately, and your Majesty's safety can be guaranteed!"
"Wang Ziteng, can't you protect me with your two thousand soldiers? Jia Cong used his life to delay me for nearly half an hour, otherwise, I would have been a puddle of mud now! At this moment, Jia Cong is dying, and you let me wait another quarter of an hour?"
Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth, looked at Jia Cong's appearance at the moment, and had to obey the order, "Come here, leave fifty people to handle the follow-up matters, and the rest of you will escort His Majesty back to the Golden Tent!"
The troops were returning all the way, and not long after they went, they met King Zhongshun.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late in coming to your rescue!" However, the emperor ignored him and walked away immediately. Prince Zhongshun's expression changed, and then he followed closely with his own men.
Then, Feng Tang led a group of Dragon Guards that he had just assembled to come, which made Emperor Longxing completely relieved. At this moment, whether it was Prince Zhongshun or Prince Beijing, or even his other two sons, he couldn't believe it.
Several other princes and Prince Beijing also arrived one after another, and finally all the troops gathered in the Golden Tent. The ministers who were escorted back by Feng Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Emperor Longxing return safely.
