Chapter 471 Don't Believe That The Traitor Can't Be Killed With Firebolts
Seeing Chen Ke's reaction in his eyes, Xu Yan showed a smile, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes: "If my prediction is good, the champion Hou suddenly rushed to Nanjing, and I'm afraid that around him
He didn’t bring many subordinates with him.”
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. After all, everyone knows that Li Huan led the imperial army to suppress the rebellion southward. Along the way, there were tens of thousands of troops. Such a huge momentum could not be concealed from the secret surveillance of someone who was interested.
No matter what happened to King Ning himself, King Ning's rebellion gave a lot of people who were dissatisfied with the new policies of the imperial court some hope, so there were not many people who secretly tipped off King Ning.
I dare not say that every move of the imperial army can be conveyed to Prince Ning in time, but Prince Ning is definitely well aware of the situation of the imperial army.
Under such circumstances, it is simply unrealistic for Li Huan to bring a large number of soldiers and soldiers across the sea to appear in Nanjing City. Therefore, as long as you think about it for a moment, you can guess that Li Huan must have brought a small number of elites.
Can hide from most people's eyes.
Chen Ke didn't say anything about Xu's guessing this. If Xu's couldn't even guess this, he probably wouldn't have been able to secure the position of being left behind in Nanjing for so many years.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ke just looked at Xu Yan and said: "I wonder what the old man means!"
Xu Yan, who was stroking his beard, slowly said: "With the champion Hou Zhi's bravery and skill in fighting, and the fact that King Ning is unprepared, I think the rebellion of King Ning must be in chaos at this moment."
Xu Yan said with determination: "But if I can guess this, then people like Wang Hao can also guess it. If King Ning and others react and know that the champion has only brought some elites, they will definitely
It will stabilize the hearts of the rebels, and by then relying on the strength of their numbers, I am afraid that the situation of the champion will be quite bad."
Chen Ke just looked at Xu Er, and Xu Er did not show off, and said calmly: "So I dare to ask Mr. Chen, do you dare to follow me and lead an elite team to fight out of the city, and together with the champion marquis, severely damage King Ning's rebels, even if
If we cannot defeat King Ning’s rebels, we must at least demoralize his troops and knock out their courage.”
Chen Ke obviously didn't expect Xu Yan to have such courage. After all, in Chen Ke's view, almost 99% of these nobles in Nanjing have already become useless people in the century of wealth and glory, let alone
Going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, these people may not even be able to control a war horse.
He never thought that Xu Er would invite him to lead an army out of the city to attack King Ning's rebels.
However, although Chen Ke was surprised, his reaction was not slow and he said immediately: "Old Duke is not afraid of danger, why should Chen be afraid?"
Xu Er couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Okay!"
Everywhere you look outside Nanjing is full of rebel soldiers fleeing in all directions.
Originally, these rebel soldiers were young men who had been captured. Not long ago, they were ordinary people. Let alone having been on the battlefield. These people could not even move in line. Now they suddenly encountered chaos, especially when they saw the banner of King Ning.
After falling down, countless soldiers did not even know what happened, and were led into panic and chaos by the defeated rebel army.
"Escort me, protect me quickly!"
Prince Ning, who was running away in embarrassment, saw his camp from a distance and shouted loudly almost instinctively.
Behind him was Li Huan, who was galloping on horseback, followed by hundreds of elite soldiers.
The number of hundreds of elites at this time was obviously much smaller. Even though these cavalry were all elites, in a short time, Li Huan followed Li Huan and punched through the rebel team of tens of thousands, even the vast majority of the rebels.
They were all defeated in one blow, but in the chaos of the army, it was impossible for the cavalry to rush into battle without any casualties.
Not to mention anything else, let's just say that many rebel soldiers, led by some low-level generals, subconsciously counterattacked and fired arrows, which would still cause casualties to these cavalry.
Fortunately, the casualties were not too serious, but if this continues, before too long, there will be fewer and fewer cavalry able to follow Li Huan.
At this time, King Ning relied on wave after wave of soldiers to block him, and he barely managed to prevent himself from being overtaken by Li Huan, but even so, the distance between the two sides was quickly closing.
Taking the place of King Ning in charge of the camp was King Ning's confidant general Yang Dai. As the general who stayed behind at the camp, it was impossible for Yang Dai not to notice such a big commotion outside.
Therefore, when King Ning fled to the vicinity of the camp, Yang Dai almost immediately sent his elite men to stop Li Huan. It was precisely in this way that King Ning was barely saved.
Otherwise, with Li Huan's strength, he might have captured Prince Ning alive long ago, and he would not have allowed Prince Ning to escape to the camp.
Thousands of elite soldiers stood in front of Li Huan. Li Huan had unparalleled power and could kill several people with a single blow, but he could not withstand the densely packed enemy troops.
Zhang Huai clenched the spear in his hand, his armor was stained with blood, and even his face was spattered with blood. At this time, Zhang Huai wiped the blood from his face and couldn't help but wrinkled when he looked at the dark mass of rebels in front of him.
Frown.
"Sir, Prince Ning is about to flee into the camp!"
Without Zhang Huai's reminder, Li Huan also noticed the figure of Prince Ning in the distance, surrounded by a group of people, fleeing towards the camp in embarrassment.
The spear in his hand shook violently, and in an instant, several rebel soldiers blocking the road in front were thrown away. When they fell, their bones were broken and their muscles were broken, causing them to scream in agony.
"Brothers, can you still fight?"
Originally, after charging for so long, many soldiers had swung their weapons countless times, and their arms were as heavy as lead. However, when they heard Li Huan's words, everyone's spirits were shaken.
He waved the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "I am willing to follow the general to kill the enemy!"
Li Huan couldn't help laughing when he heard this. Zhang Huai, Chen Ang and others thought that Li Huan would lead them to continue charging into the formation to pursue King Ning. However, at this moment, Li Huan rushed forward diagonally and said: "Soldiers, please follow me.
Fight out."
It was obvious that some of the rebel soldiers around them who had gradually recovered from the chaos were no longer running around, but were gradually gathering into teams.
You must know that many of these rebels are local powerful men who brought their own money, food, and troops to join King Ning's rebel army.
These people are different from ordinary rebels because of the relationship between these people. Many of the soldiers are either brothers or neighbors. Even if they are defeated in a panic, they can still be defeated and not disperse.
What's more, the tens of thousands of rebels who were really attacked by Li Huan were only the part closest to King Ning. As for the rest of the rebels, they were at best in chaos due to the influence of the rebels.
When these rebels, mainly local powerful people, saw the situation clearly, many powerful people began to gather their troops with themselves as the core, and then slowly gathered in the direction of Li Huan.
If you observe from a high position, you can find that at least dozens or hundreds of teams, large and small, are surrounding Li Huan. If you wait until these people complete the encirclement, no matter how brave Li Huan is, he himself is
He can rush out, but most of the soldiers who follow him may be left behind.
Although Li Huan said he felt a little sorry for not being able to keep Prince Ning, Li Huan originally had no intention of keeping Prince Ning. After all, in Li Huan's view, Prince Ning's escape this time was not necessarily a bad thing.
Besides, with Li Huan's strength, if he really wanted to kill Prince Ning, it would not be difficult.
In the final analysis, Li Huan thinks it is more useful to keep Prince Ning. At least for now, Prince Ning still has the value of his existence.
Of course, if King Ning was unlucky and was captured alive by Li Huan, then it can only be said that King Ning himself was unlucky.
Now that King Ning had fled into the camp, Li Huan chose to give up the pursuit of King Ning without hesitation, and instead took his soldiers to escape before the powerful men gathered.
As Li Huan changed direction, the cavalry following Li Huan clearly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and they broke through the siege in a blink of an eye. Their eyes lit up, but they had already rushed out of the area where the main force of the rebels was.
.
However, a loud shout came from the front: "Little thief Li Huan, don't be so arrogant. Cui is here and I will kill you, the traitor, today."
The person who came was none other than Cui Ling, Mao Qing and others who had led their generals to fight out of Nanjing city not long ago in an attempt to stop Li Huan from chasing King Ning.
Cui Ling's shout made Prince Ning and others, who had just escaped into the camp and had not completely calmed down, stunned.
In the camp, King Ning vaguely heard a shout and subconsciously said: "Cui Ling? Could it be Cui Ling, the Marquis of Dingyang?"
Yang Dai, who was wearing armor, heard the words and said: "Go back to the prince, it sounds like someone is fighting with the traitor Li Huan."
Prince Ning's eyes couldn't help but light up. They had seen and experienced Li Huan's invincible bravery with their own eyes. If they hadn't run fast enough, they might have been captured alive by Li Huan by now.
In the minds of most people, Li Huan was synonymous with invincibility. They never thought that someone would dare to take the initiative to stand up against Li Huan. This would not surprise Prince Ning and others.
"Quick, the lonely king wants to watch the battle in person!"
Soon King Ning, Yang Dai and others boarded a simple high platform. The platform was several feet high. It was originally used to build an observation tower. Although it was not completely completed, it was enough for King Ning, Yang Dai and others to see far away.
situation.
Standing on the high platform, King Ning, Yang Dai and others saw a group of well-armored elite soldiers and horses blocking Li Huan's front. The two sides faced each other at a distance of more than ten feet.
Just looking at the attire of the two leaders, it was obvious that they were extraordinary. Coupled with Cui Ling's self-reported name, their identities were naturally confirmed by Prince Ning and others at a glance.
Liu Yangzheng, who was stroking his beard, said to Prince Ning: "My lord, they are Cui Ling, Marquis of Dingyang, Bo Maoqing of Yongchang and the others."
As he spoke, Liu Yangzheng said with a bit of surprise on his face: "I never thought that Marquis Dingyang, Uncle Yongchang and the others would have such courage. Even Li Huan, the god of death, would dare to confront them head-on."
On the contrary, Yang Dai, who was standing aside, looked at the two sides. Suddenly his frown relaxed, and he said with a bit of surprise: "I see, I am Cui Ling, and Mao Qing and the others are so confident. It turns out that they have
How to deal with Li Huan."
After listening to Yang Dai's words, several people couldn't help but look towards Yang Dai.
Even Prince Ning was staring at Yang Dai. They had seen Li Huan's invincibility with their own eyes, and now they suddenly heard Yang Dai say that there was a way to deal with Li Huan. It would be strange if they didn't react.
Being stared at by Prince Ning, Yang Dai couldn't help but cough slightly, pointed at the soldiers and generals behind Cui Ling, Mao Qing and others and said, "Your Majesty, please see if most of these people are carrying muskets."
"Firegun!"
These two simple words exploded like thunder, causing several people, including Prince Ning, to react at once.
Liu Yangzheng even clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, fire gun, why didn't I think of a weapon like fire gun to kill enemies?"
Prince Ning, on the other hand, had a face like a blooming flower, and his eyes were almost narrowed when he smiled. He said with some hope: "He Li Huan has a bronze head and iron arms, and a body that is not like a vajra. How can it be that he has a bronze head and iron arms?"
Can you still withstand the bombardment of firecrackers? Hahaha, this traitor will die today."
No wonder Prince Ning was so excited. He was actually being chased by Li Huan just now. The feeling of being on the edge of life and death was something that Prince Ning would never forget for the rest of his life.
Li Huan almost became a shadow that could never be erased from King Ning's heart. Now he suddenly discovered that sharp weapons such as fire guns could solve Li Huan's serious problem. How could King Ning not laugh about it?
Cui Ling, Mao Qing and others who also ran into Li Huan's team looked at Li Huan and others who were covered in blood and full of evil spirits. Their hearts were throbbing, but although they were shocked, they were not too scared.
At this time, Cui Ling, who was riding on the horse, waved his hand behind him, and immediately he saw dozens of elite generals holding fire guns rushing forward, and the black muzzles of the guns were pointed at Li Huan.
Seeing Li Huan riding on the horse without any reaction, and looking like he was frightened, Cui Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "Little thief Li Huan, it doesn't matter if you are as brave as the overlord, facing so many blazing guns.
, today next year will be your death anniversary."
Li Huan glanced at the muskets lightly, slowly raised the spear in his hand, and said with a bit of contempt: "You colluded with King Ning and intended to dedicate the city of Nanjing to King Ning as a way to advance into the world."
Cui Ling, Marquis of Dingyang."
Cui Ling, who was revealed by Li Huan's words, was just slightly startled. Then he realized what he was doing. Just by looking at how clever Li Huan was in killing him, he knew that he had probably been aware of the Jin Yiwei's offer of the city gate beforehand.
, but he was quite confused. Since Li Huan had known for a long time that he was colluding with King Ning, why didn't he take him down early, and instead let him collude with a group of people and open the city gate!
Shaking his head slightly and suppressing the doubts in his heart, Cui Ling sneered and said: "Yes, it is your Marquis and I. When we go down to the Palace of Hell, remember that the person who killed you is not someone else, but Cui Ling, the Marquis of Dingyang."
