Chapter 448: Falling short of success

"kill!"

The shouts of killing resounded in the Zhao Palace, announcing the occurrence of a sudden rebellion.

The soldiers of the Zhao army guarding the palace had no time to take precautions, and the rebel offensive was already in front of them.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Along with the sharp sounds of breaking through the sky in the dark night, numerous feather arrows fell like raindrops.

But compared to the light raindrops, this feathered arrow carries endless murderous intent.

Almost every minute and every second, Sergeant Zhao's soldiers were hit by arrows, and their bodies fell down amidst dull sounds.

Seeing his own soldiers dying one after another, while the rebels on the opposite side continued like a tide, a Zhao army officer stationed at the palace had an anxious look on his face.

"General, the rebels are powerful and it is difficult for our army to resist them."

General Zhao Jun heard the reminder ringing in his ears, and then looked at the rebels who were pouring in. There was a solemn expression between his brows.

It didn't take long. Faced with a situation where his own side no longer had the upper hand, the Zhao general made the most correct choice at this moment.

"withdraw……"

As the military order was issued, Sergeant Zhao, who was originally in the middle of a fierce battle, quickly broke away from contact with the rebels and quickly retreated toward the rear.

When he saw the fire in front of him gradually getting farther away, Young Master Xin, who was leading the way, immediately showed an excited smile on his face.

Swinging the long sword in his hand, he quickly killed a Zhao soldier in front of him. Gongzi Zhen pointed the tip of the long sword forward.

"Everyone, follow me, attack the palace, and capture Zhao Yu alive!"

"kill!"

The rebel forces were really not weak, and the palace guards who rushed to fight were no match at all, so they could only retreat again and again.

In the end, the retreating palace guards and the pursuing rebels faced off in front of the main hall where King Zhao Zhao Zhong was.

Standing among the heavily guarded ranks of the rebels, looking at the extremely familiar hall in front of him, Young Master Zhen's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

At this moment, Gongzi Zhen felt more and more that his choice was correct, and tonight was indeed the best opportunity to cause trouble.

As long as he can rush into the hall in front of him and kill the prince Zhao Yu on the spot, then according to his father's love for him, he, Zhao Jie, must be the next monarch of the Zhao Kingdom.

Not only Young Master Zhen thought this way, but also the confidants around him had the same plan.

Glancing at the rather embarrassed Zhao Palace guards in front of him, his confidant said to Young Master: "Young Master, now we must work together to complete important things."

"What you said is absolutely true."

Just when Young Master Zhen finished his reply and was about to issue an attack order, there was a squeezing sound of wood coming from the hall in front of him.

Looking in the direction of the voice, when he saw the familiar face clearly under the light of the fire, the expression on Gongzi Xie's face immediately became ugly.

"Zhao Yu!" He said two words through gritted teeth, and Young Master Jiedang even raised his palm, "Archer..."

"Protect the prince."

The movements of the rebels in the formation immediately aroused the vigilance of Zhao Jun's imperial guards. They immediately took action and guarded Prince Zhao Yu firmly in the center.

The guards present knew very well that if Prince Zhao Yu made a mistake, the situation tonight would be even worse.

"put……"

Facing the arrows shot from the front, the guards raised their shields one after another, but the shields could not protect against all the sharp arrows.

Painful wails rang in his ears, and a famous soldier fell in front of him. A trace of intolerance clearly flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes.

These soldiers were originally supposed to fight for the country, but at this moment they died in this rebellion.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu's gaze moved forward, with a trace of killing intent clearly flashing through his eyes.

"Where is Zhao Jie?"

"Brother Jie, meet your brother."

Looking at Zhao Ji, who was also heavily guarded across from him, Zhao Yu sneered: "Since you still recognize me as your brother, then remove the rebels, and I..."

"Hahaha……"

Before Zhao Yu could finish what he said, Gongzi Zhen burst out laughing, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

"Brother."

The laughter gradually stopped, and Gong Zizhen's eyes swept over the subordinates around him, and then looked to the opposite side.

"Brother, do you really think that you are still the crown prince of the Zhao Kingdom?"

"Today, I led my army into the palace to tell you that I am the future monarch of Zhao."

In just a few words, the two brothers were completely at odds with each other.

Looking at the main hall in front of him, looking at the victory that seemed so close at hand, Young Master Xue pulled out the long sword from his waist.

"Everyone, life and death depend on this, follow me..."

"kill!"

"kill!"

Standing in front of the hall, listening to the shouts of killing sweeping over like waves, Zhao Yu's eyes were full of solemnity.

"Soldiers, guard the king, follow me..."

"war!"

"war!"

Facing the oncoming huge waves, the soldiers of Zhao, who had no way to retreat, built the strongest dam.

Once, twice, three times...

Huge waves hit the embankment again and again, and the battle between the guards and the rebels became more and more intense.

A rebel brandished a long sword in his hand and just killed a guard on the spot, but the next moment a long sword pierced his wound.

The two sides in this melee don't have many plots and tricks. The competition is about who can persevere to the end.

"Prince, the rebels outnumber our army, I'm afraid..."

Another rebel was beheaded by the sword, and a Zhao general fought and retreated to Zhao Yu, who was also in the midst of a fierce battle.

After helping the other party kill the enemy, the general told Zhao Yu the current predicament with a worried look on his face.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried when he looked at his own team at a disadvantage.

"Don't worry, General, the reinforcements will arrive in time."

In fact, even Zhao Yu at this moment had no idea when the reinforcements would arrive and whether he could persist until then.

Maybe it was because the sky was inexhaustible, or maybe God heard his prayer.

Just as the rebels were approaching step by step and the guards' defense line was retreating step by step, a cry of killing rang out from behind the rebels.

"kill!"

The rebels, who originally had the advantage, faced a flanking attack from two sides, and the situation immediately took a turn for the worse.

Taking advantage of the panic of the rebels, Zhao Yu, who had just killed an enemy, immediately raised his sword and said, "Soldiers, as long as you put down your weapons, I will definitely save your lives."

"Only kill the first evildoer, and the rest will be spared death."

"Only kill the first evildoer, and the rest will be spared death."

"Only kill the first evildoer, and the rest will be spared death."



When the situation reversed, the order issued by Zhao Yu and repeated by the guards was like an invisible sharp sword.

Compared with the visible sword that attacks the body, this invisible sword damages the morale of the rebels.

The morale of the rebels had already declined due to the appearance of reinforcements, and Zhao Yu's order had an immediate effect.

Seeing that the situation on our side was over, I don't know who made the choice first. One after another, the soldiers discarded their weapons.

"Dang Cang..."

Accompanied by a clear sound of gold and stone clashing, the long sword in Gongzi Xie's hand, as the leader of this rebellion, also fell to the ground.

At this time, Young Master Zhen's face was full of frustration, and he knew that his situation was over tonight.

It was obvious that he was once so close to victory, but in the end he fell short.

"I lost."
Chapter completed!
