Datang: Destroy Tang Taizong Li Xiao at the beginning

"Zhao Yuntian!"

Li Xiao screamed, his eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, you won't die from this injury!"

Zhao Yuntian got up from the ground and said in a deep voice.

Seeing Zhao Yuntian get up, Li Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief, but the anger in his heart grew stronger.

At this point, the rain of arrows was basically over.

The Forbidden Army lost almost half of its manpower, leaving only about forty people, and most of them were injured.

Seeing that the enemy was about to launch a second wave of arrow rain, Li Xiao immediately led his people back, and took advantage of the gap to successfully retreat into the forest.

With trees as cover, the second wave of arrow rain was easily resisted.

They even took out the god arm crossbow and started shooting at each other.

Although the divine arm crossbow hits every shot, but the number of enemies is too large, and the damage is limited.

"It can't last any longer, withdraw first!"

Li Xiao glanced at Po Jun unwillingly, and made this decision with difficulty.

……

"Zhang Ji, quickly order the hunt! We must not let them escape!"

Seeing Li Xiao retreating into the jungle, Po Jun became anxious.

If Li Xiao didn't die here, it would be even harder to kill him in the future.

But Zhang Ji was unmoved, the corner of his mouth curled up, and he said disdainfully: "You think this general is as useless as you? Everything is within the general's expectation! Just wait and see!"

Just when Po Jun didn't know why.

Suddenly, in the jungle in all directions in the distance, soldiers in armor appeared one after another.

These soldiers, at some point, circled around Li Xiao's rear, blocking all his escape routes.

Li Xiao also discovered this situation, and was immediately forced to come back again.

At this point, they were surrounded.

"You actually brought so many people here?" Po Jun said in surprise.

"Hehe, five hundred are the main force, and the remaining five hundred will block the escape route. They have nowhere to escape!"

Zhang Ji smiled calmly.

"You took so many people out of Chang'an, don't you worry about being discovered?" Po Jun asked.

"Don't worry, there are more than 2 city guards, and only a thousand are missing. As long as Li Xiao and others are dead, who knows that I brought people here?" Zhang Ji said lightly.

"The general is brilliant, in this way, Li Xiao will definitely die!" Po Jun admired sincerely.

……

"Your Highness, what should we do? The escape route is blocked..."

Zhao Yuntian's face was pale and very dignified.

Li Xiao also frowned.

He took a rough look around, there were no less than a few hundred people, plus the previous army, the total number of enemies was no less than a thousand.

And they, there are only less than 50 people now, and all of them are injured.

Desperate!

He never expected that he would be reduced to such a situation just by going out for a banquet.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, above the sky, there was a clear and crisp sound.

Hearing this voice, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Xiao's eyes, and then he smiled.

"Our rescuers are here!"

Chapter 80: They are using demon magic!

In the jungle, there was constant noise.

But suddenly there was a series of crisp "pop" sounds.

The sound was so loud that it immediately covered up the noise on the battlefield and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"what sound?"

Po Jun frowned.

Right now was the critical time to kill Li Xiao, and the sudden appearance of this strange voice gave him a bad premonition.

"Come on, let's see what happened?"

Zhang Ji also frowned, originally he didn't want to pay attention to it, but the "popping" sound continued one after another, and it seemed that there was no sign of stopping, so he could only send someone to investigate.

On the battlefield, knowing the enemy's situation is the basis for deploying troops.

A soldier received the order and was just about to leave in response, when suddenly a soldier's order came running from a distance.

"My lord, a group of people appeared in the distance, wearing the armor of the imperial army..."

"Forbidden Army?"

Zhang Ji was taken aback, and then asked, "How many people are there?"

"Only a hundred people." The soldier replied.

"Then what's the matter with that sound?"

"The villain came to report when he saw the enemy's situation, but he didn't know it."

After the messenger finished speaking, Zhang Ji swung him back.

"Ha ha."

After hearing what the messenger said, Zhang Ji smiled with a calm face.

"It should be the other [-] imperial troops that Li Xiao placed in Lantian Villa. Although there is nothing to fear, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, I would like to ask General Zhang to order a general attack!"

Po Jun had an uneasy look on his face.

As long as Li Xiao didn't die for a moment, he couldn't feel at ease for a moment.

"No hurries?"

But Zhang Ji said calmly: "Their crossbows are a bit powerful. If I attack rashly, my men will suffer a lot of damage. I have to consume some of their crossbows first before launching a charge."

"You can't wait for their reinforcements to arrive, can you?" Po Jun frowned.

"You don't understand the battlefield. There are only 100 people in the district, and there is no wave. Instead, they are eager to be the savior, and they are at a disadvantage."

"But our army waits for work with leisure, and waits to defend the stronghold, and their reinforcements will die as many as they come!" Zhang Ji said confidently.

"I hope so!"

Po Jun looked towards the battlefield, frowning.

At the same time, when Zhao Yuntian heard Li Xiao say that reinforcements had arrived, he immediately thought of something and said, "Could it be that His Majesty sent someone to rescue His Highness?"

"No."

Li Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "It's Uncle Li, cheer up and prepare to counterattack!"

"Your Highness!"

Zhao Yuntian looked anxious, "This is the opportunity to break through, how can we counterattack?"

He was shocked.

In terms of time, it is absolutely impossible for Li Junxian to go to Chang'an and move to rescue the soldiers first, and then come to support.

In other words, the people Li Junxian brought were only the 100 or so people in Lantian Villa.

How can such a small number of people contend against thousands of elite enemy troops?

On the contrary, as long as they seize this wave of opportunities, after breaking out of the encirclement, they can join Li Junxian, and there is still a possibility of running away.

"Be careful, they may be about to launch a general attack, we must hold back, and wait for Uncle Li to lead someone to kill him!"

Li Xiao didn't answer Zhao Yuntian, but gave an order.

"Your Highness, set up an ambush here again, I'm afraid Commander Li won't be able to rush through! Let's retreat!" Zhao Yuntian said anxiously.

"No, breaking out now will cause heavy losses."

"Listen to me, that's right. As for why, I can't explain it clearly in a few words."

Li Xiao's face was very confident.

Because of those "popping" sounds, he heard it immediately.

It's a flintlock!

Finally made it.

And it also came in handy at this most critical juncture.

With such a sharp weapon, killing an enemy is as easy as slaughtering a pig!

"Ugh……"

Zhao Yuntian sighed for a long time, and persuaded again: "Your Highness, I know that you have your own plans, but every second counts on the battlefield, and once you miss the opportunity, you will be lost forever! Think twice!"

"I have made up my mind!"

……

"They didn't intend to break out?"

Po Jun looked at the battlefield suspiciously, and asked Zhang Ji who was beside him.

"He's the prince, so he's naturally hesitant to die. This place is already surrounded by me, how can he run away? He should also understand this, so he hides inside to survive."

Zhang Ji was expressionless and shook his head slightly.

"But if they don't come out like this, it's not a solution."

"Even if we can annihilate the reinforcements on the periphery, they must have notified Chang'an before they came, and we can't wait any longer." Po Jun frowned.

Hearing this, Zhang Ji nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, you are right, this battle should end."

"Order the general attack!"

"No, I have a way to make him come out on his own initiative."

After speaking, Zhang Ji led a row of shield soldiers and slowly approached the jungle where Li Xiao was.

When he came to a suitable distance, Zhang Ji raised his hand to stop, and shouted: "His Royal Highness, you know you are invincible, why bother to struggle? Subdue! You are the prince after all, I will not let you die so easily."

"Who are you?" Li Xiao asked behind the tree.

Zhang Ji came here full of confidence, and when he heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly felt a little angry, and shouted: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you have nowhere to go."

"If you want to live, you have to lay down your weapons and surrender to me!"

"You deserve it too? Didn't your parents teach you the rules? You have to kneel down to talk to me!" Li Xiao sneered and said disdainfully.

In fact, he was also stalling for time.

Although there is a god arm crossbow defense, but there are not many crossbow arrows left, he is really afraid that the opponent will rush over regardless.

"Hehe." Zhang Ji chuckled, "Is your hole card the reinforcements you are proud of? Ridiculous!"

"Don't talk nonsense, if you want to take my head, you might as well ask your subordinates to rush over and try."

Hearing this, Zhang Ji frowned.

He was also very upset.

Usually, in this kind of tough battle, the number of our own side has a huge advantage. Basically, as long as a swarm of bees rushes over, the enemy's position can be razed to the ground.

But the problem lies in the opponent's crossbow.
