In front of the gate of Li Zhong's mansion, there is a large square. The other party has built temporary fortifications here, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack, but Li Xun has no choice but to lead the army to attack. Moreover, the speed cannot be slow. At most, within two quarters of an hour, the battle must be resolved. Otherwise, when the imperial guards from other urban areas arrive, the situation will be really gone.

Tonight, rescuing Li Zhong is definitely the top priority. As long as Li Zhong is rescued, many problems will be solved easily, and the entire coup situation will also usher in a major turning point.

For example, Jinwuwei.

The Jinwu Guard was mainly responsible for public security and inspections in the city. It was only because the imperial guards entered the city and the prince's order that they all returned to the Jinwu Guard yamen and temporarily handed over their rights and responsibilities to the 50,000 imperial guards, but their strength should not be underestimated and they were of great importance. The entire Jinwu Guard yamen had nearly 20,000 soldiers.

Just after successfully obtaining the military power of the Inspection House, Li Xun immediately sent people to the Jinwu Guard, hoping that they could come and join forces with him to quell the coup. Li Xun's request was flatly rejected by the Jinwu Guard General Xia Wenkai. His reason was very simple. It was the order issued by the prince himself to lead the Jinwu Guard soldiers back to the headquarters, and all responsibilities were handed over to the imperial guards. No action was allowed without orders. If there was no prince's handwriting or the prince himself, Xia Wenkai said that the Jinwu Guard would not take any action.

Xia Wenkai's flat rejection expressed a position that in this coup, he would remain neutral and no one would help.

Someone suggested retreating into Li Zhong's mansion and strengthening the depth of defense. The deputy general hesitated and finally refused the proposal. The sword had no eyes. If Li Zhong had any problems in the melee, the matter would be great. Even if he defeated the invading enemy, he would be unable to escape death.

Li Zhong’s importance is not actually him. His prestige may be unmatched in the whole world, but this is not the fundamental reason why Zhao He is afraid of.

Zhao He's protection and courtesy for Li Zhong is both an emotional manifestation, but ultimately the Anbei military group represented by Li Zhong. Don't forget that Li Zhong's eldest son Li Wei is in the northern part of Longyou. Once something happens to Li Zhong, it will arouse collective anger and hatred of nearly 200,000 troops in Anbei. At that time, Li Wei will be able to quickly grasp the military and political power of the entire Anbei through the influence left by his father. Then, either avenge his father's revenge, eliminate traitors for the country, or seek justice for the prince. Li Wei has too many reasons to send troops.

More than 200,000 elite border troops entered the pass. Even if Zhao He succeeded in the coup, he was not yet up to his name. In a short period of time, he was not capable or qualified to mobilize the forces of all parties. At that time, what would he use to resist Li Wei's massive invasion?

There is only one final outcome, that is, the world is in chaos and the country is divided. This result and loss is something that Zhao He absolutely does not want to see or want.

Therefore, although Li Zhong's existence is a huge potential threat, Zhao He still dared not take any excessive measures against him, and could only put house arrest and prevent it.

The battle has begun.

Whether it was a good thing or was really ready to fight hard, Li Xun rushed to the front, with Jiang Daxiong, Zou Meng, Yan Yi and others following closely.

In order to inspire the morale of the entire army, Li Xun could only fight. If he was afraid of death and flinch, he could exchange for hope of survival. Li Xun didn't care about fame. Compared with his life, in Li Xun's opinion, it was simply worthless. But at this moment, Li Xun had no way out. If he failed, he would be successful, and he could only die. Since that is the case, what is there to be scary?

"shoot!"

The chief general of the Imperial Army waved his hand and roared loudly. Two hundred archers shot volleys, and hundreds of arrows came quickly.

Although Yan Yi and Jiang Daxiong were helping to protect him, Li Xun was still shot in the shoulder under the rain of arrows that swarmed in.

The severe pain made Li Xun tremble all over and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Boss, are you okay?"

"Brother Gou'er, we're rushing in front, you can just follow behind."

Yan Yi and Jiang Daxiong shouted anxiously when they saw Li Xun being injured.

Li Xun's pace only paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and continued to rush forward without saying a word, still rushing to the front of the team.

Now is the time to make a concerted effort. If he has any weakness and concessions, the morale of the soldiers of the entire army will probably be greatly affected. At the critical moment, Li Xun must not let this happen.

Jiang Daxiong didn't say much, speeded up and led Li Xun half a position and stood in front of him.

Liu Hu, who was slightly behind, was very excited when he saw Li Xun's bravery, and his pace of progress suddenly accelerated a lot. He even waved his weapons and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me."

Li Xun's orders may not be anything, but as soon as Liu Hu said the words, the thousand soldiers under his command immediately responded one by one, yelling and speeding up their pace of progress.

The two sides quickly fought together. The two thousand imperial soldiers were not weak in combat. Under the reasonable command of the deputy general, they successfully defended Li Xun and others with their fortifications and charged fiercely.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and the fierce battle between the two sides has reached now, with huge casualties, with more than 500 people, but neither side is about to lose. If you continue to fight like this, you may not be able to decide the outcome within half an hour. Naturally, it doesn't matter to the imperial guards. The longer the time delays, the more beneficial it will be to them. The imperial guards in other urban areas will probably arrive soon.

The current situation is that Li Xun has the advantage, and as time goes by, this advantage will become bigger and bigger, and then finally win. However, at this time, Li Xun was becoming more and more anxious and uneasy, and he felt a sense of oppression that was about to come. If this feeling is explained in one sentence, it means that there is not much time left for himself.

Li Xun looked around and then keenly discovered that due to geographical reasons and the number of people fighting, both sides were no longer divided into formations and fell into a melee. With a glance, Li Xun saw that the combat area where Liu Hu was located was less than twenty meters away from the opponent's chief general of the imperial guards.

"Liu Hu, first capture the king, kill the opponent's commander, and they will be finished."

Li Xun raised his throat and shouted loudly with all his strength.

Hearing Li Xun's voice, Liu Hu was a little distracted and glanced around. Sure enough, he saw that the opponent's chief general was less than twenty meters away, and there were not many people around him, only about two hundred people.

Liu Hu immediately ordered his left and right to lead a hundred people, rushed out of the battle group, and rushed straight to the opponent's commander.
