"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1127
In the deep night, a group of ragged, blood-soaked cavalrymen were riding slowly with torches on their horses. They looked tired and scarred.
This army that just broke out from the battlefield is the remnant of the Northern Army cavalry led by Marshal Li Yi.
In a day and night of bloody battles, more than 40,000 brave Northern Army Qingqi and more than 100,000 Zhendong Army fought and suffered heavy losses. Less than 2,000 people were able to break out with Li Yi.
"Plop¡ª¡ª"
In the darkness, a cavalryman of the Northern Army crumbled and fell off his horse, making a dull sound.
Several cavalry brothers from the Northern Army reined in their horses, and the two got off their horses, trying to help the brother who was about to roll off the horse to get up.
"I lost a lot of blood and died."
However, when they picked up the Northern Army cavalry brother who had fallen off his horse, they found that the opponent whose shirt was soaked in blood was silent.
? Seeing the comrades who fought side by side roll off their horses and die just like that, their hearts were also heavy.
"Let's go."
They were also exhausted. After carrying the brother to the grass beside the road and laying it down, they were defeated and unable to collect his body, so they could only leave regretfully.
The morale of this defeated remnant of more than 2,000 soldiers was low, and there was an atmosphere of sadness in the team.
Seeing the scarred soldiers, Li Yi, the young marshal with blood on his face, regrets it now.
He was blinded by hatred before, and the overwhelming victory on the front line made him too proud to underestimate the enemy.
As a result, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle between Tacheng and the Zhendong Army. From the 50,000 elite northern army at the start to the 2,000-odd remnants and defeated generals, it can be said that the defeat was crushing.
If it weren't for the lack of cavalry troops and the lack of pursuit force of the Zhendong Army, it is estimated that their entire army has been wiped out.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and the young commander Li Yi can only swallow the bitter fruit this time for his underestimation of the enemy.
Of course, the young marshal Li Yi hates Li Yuanqing even more now, because the main force led by Li Yuanqing did not catch up with reinforcements in time.
If the troops led by Li Yuanqing had entered the battlefield in time, they might not have suffered defeat.
Thinking of Li Yuanqing, an abandoned orphan, being adopted by their family and promoted all the way to the position of general.
Instead of being grateful, Li Yuanqing refused to listen to his orders after his father died. Now Li Yi can't wait to tear Li Yuanqing into pieces.
Soon, the two thousand defeated soldiers led by Li Yi arrived at the temporary camp of the main force.
"The young commander is back!"
Seeing Li Yi and others coming back with a torch in the dark, the Northern Army sentry on the sentry tower reported in time.
The gate of the camp was opened, and the young marshal Li Yi and other defeated soldiers were able to enter.
Seeing Li Yi's ragged and blood-stained clothes, the surrounding soldiers were also shocked.
"Where is Li Yuanqing's bastard, tell him to get out and see me!"
After Li Yi entered the camp, he looked around at the soldiers of the Northern Army and roared angrily.
"Young commander, what do you want from me?"
Before Li Yi's words fell, General Li Yuanqing strode forward surrounded by a group of generals, accompanied by a large number of soldiers of the Northern Army.
"Li Yuanqing, why didn't you get ordered to go into battle?!"
Li Yi stared at Li Yuanqing with a pair of red eyes, and asked loudly.
"The Zhendong Army is a friendly army, and we shouldn't meet each other with swords." Li Yuanqing replied.
Li Yi roared: "Nonsense, they killed the father, and they are our unequaled enemies!"
"You eat inside and out, I'm going to clean up the house today!"
"Come here, tie up Li Yuanqing and cut him off!" Li Yi ordered.
Some of the blood-stained soldiers behind Li Yi pulled out their sabers and wanted to arrest Li Yuanqing.
But as soon as they moved, there was a clanging sound of gold and iron, and a large number of soldiers of the Northern Army in solid armor around them drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and their spears pressed against their chests, making them dare not move rashly.
"Li Yuanqing, do you want to rebel?!"
Seeing that the soldiers of the northern army around them surrounded them with swords and spears, Li Yi was also shockedAngry again.
"Young Marshal, you disobeyed the sacred order, so hurry up and catch it, don't hold back, otherwise, there will be no good end." Li Yuanqing persuaded when he saw Li Yi who was surrounded.
"General Wang, quickly apprehend this traitor!"
Seeing that Li Yuanqing really dared to attack him, Li Yi turned his attention to a general standing beside Li Yuanqing.
"Young Marshal, let's arrest him without a fight. Go and confess your mistake to His Majesty. For the sake of the old Marshal, His Majesty will not make things difficult for you." The general said with a cold face.
Seeing the generals of the northern army beside Li Yuanqing, Li Yi immediately understood that they all took refuge in Li Yuanqing and betrayed him.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha¡ª¡ª"
Li Yi laughed like crazy when he thought that these people had betrayed him just after his father died.
"Hurry up and put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, you will be shot to death!"
Seeing the defeated soldiers behind Li Yi, Li Yuanqing also threatened.
These Northern Army soldiers who had just withdrawn from the Tacheng battlefield had just escaped from death, but they did not expect to face the current situation again, and they were caught off guard.
Facing a large number of Northern Army comrades around them, they knew that if they resisted, they would die.
"Brothers, rush out with me!"
The young marshal Li Yi also realized that they were not opponents. Seeing the hesitant soldiers behind him, he drew out his sword and drank loudly.
"Follow the general's order and put down your weapons!"
At this moment, several of Li Yi's personal guards suddenly put their swords on Li Yi's neck, threatening those soldiers who followed Li Yi.
Li Yi never expected that the first person to attack him was his most trusted guard soldier.
"You bastards, I treat you well, why do you treat me like this!" Li Yi was furious.
"Young Marshal, I'm sorry, we are now members of the shadow guards. According to His Majesty's will, I will take you back to report to you." The guards said.
Seeing that the general situation was over, those soldiers who had just followed Li Yi out of the Tacheng battlefield also put down their weapons one after another, and were immediately disarmed by Li Yuanqing's men.
Li Yi, the young marshal, was under control, and his face was livid with anger. He also yelled at Li Yuanqing and others after being betrayed by many relatives.
"General, let's take the young marshal back to return."
The Shadow Guards didn't want to stay any longer, and after greeting Li Yuanqing, they were about to take Li Yi away.
But when they walked to the gate of the gate, a sharp arrow suddenly shot into the air, piercing the chest of Li Yi who was yelling, and Li Yi's yelling stopped abruptly.
"There are assassins!"
Li Yi was suddenly shot by an arrow in the dark, which caused some confusion.
Seeing Li Yi plummeting off the horse, Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the distance, had a sneer on his face.
Li Yuanqing knew very well that he had seized the military power of the Northern Army. If he wanted to secure his position, Li Yi had to die.
If the emperor Longtian forgives Li Yi, he will offend him to death, and it will be enough for him then.
So the best way is to get rid of Li Yi, but now that the shadow guards have come forward, Li Yi died inexplicably, and no one will suspect him.
Instead, he would point the culprit at Emperor Longtian, thinking that Longtian wanted to seize the military power of the Northern Army, and killed Li and his son, and he was just running errands for Emperor Longtian. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
