Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2702 A General Rebels Against Tang, Backstabbing Emperor Xiaogong

Besides its rugged terrain, this county town also served to divide Lelang and Daifang.

If they were to occupy this county town while they had the upper hand, they could take control of Lelang from several directions. This was the same method that Li Tang, who had just started to develop, used to take over Lelang and Daifang.

However, they are now at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, the Jin army's winter campaign caught them off guard, allowing Li Mu to easily launch a surprise attack across the sea and capture Lelang.

In other words, this means that the county town is now in a situation where it could be attacked from both sides.

Therefore, although Li Guangbi was reluctant to give up the geographical advantage of this county, he regarded Liangkou, where he was stationed, as the primary defensive stronghold. This county, in turn, was used as a forward position to wear down the Jin army's strength.

Li Cunxiao took the initiative to show himself and draw fire, while the remaining few people decisively changed into soldier equipment and blended into the crowd to minimize their presence.

Even so, it took them most of the day before Jiang Song was the first to find an opportunity to climb the city wall.

There was no way around it; even though they were disguised as soldiers, they still had to dodge the rolling logs and rocks that came crashing down while climbing the ladder. Even for them, a direct hit would be fatal or severely injured!

Once he had finally climbed the city wall, he was finally able to unleash his skills without restraint and begin to show off his power.

The gleaming silver spear in his hand transformed into countless cold stars, precisely deflecting incoming arrows and parrying protruding spears. To the horrified gazes of the defenders, the silver spear, like a venomous snake, instantly pierced the throats of two guards!
The two Jin soldiers who had followed him up quickly took their shields and flanked him, protecting him from the middle.

The veterans of the Jin Army, who had served for many years and even experienced many bloody battles, possessed extremely high combat skills. They understood very well the importance of teamwork on the battlefield.

This way, they would help Jiang Song shield himself from attacks from the left and right, allowing him to face the attacks from the front alone.

In fact, what they are doing now is what a general's personal guards do on the battlefield, doing for their general.

Because Jiang Song was still dressed as a common soldier, the surrounding Li Tang soldiers did not immediately realize the seriousness of the situation.

So much so that by the time they realized something was wrong, and discovered that the soldier wielding the spear was incredibly brave, they hurriedly reported to their commander.

At this time, dozens of Jin soldiers had gathered around Jiang Song.

Behind them, soldiers continued to climb the ladder in an endless stream.

“Sun Wanrong is here! You cowards hiding your heads and tails, do you dare to leave your names?” A general of the Tang Dynasty led a group of Tang soldiers to charge over.

Upon seeing Jiang Song's superb marksmanship, even though they didn't recognize him, they guessed what was going on.

After all, it's perfectly normal for generals to disguise themselves as soldiers during sieges.

If he were to appear out of nowhere, the defending side would definitely not hesitate to unleash a barrage of fire upon him.

"General Jiang Song of the Great Jin Dynasty is here!"

By this time, a group of soldiers had gathered around him, and they had already secured a foothold on the city wall. Jiang Song felt there was no need to continue hiding his identity.

"What! Jiang Song!"

Sun Wanrong was taken aback, but he didn't dare to rush forward rashly. He could only call on his henchmen to join him in attacking.

After all, who in the world doesn't know Jiang Song's name these days?

"Rat!"

Shi Huang, who had just climbed the city wall from another direction, witnessed this scene. He immediately led two men to attack Sun Wanrong from behind and cleaved him in two with a single stroke. "Report! General, something terrible has happened!"

"Enemy General Jiang Song has scaled the city wall!"

Upon receiving the news, Li Xiaogong was shocked and a chilling sense of despair gripped him.

"Li Kailuo, you take all my personal guards and charge forward!"

"You must plug this gap!"

In despair, Li Xiaogong could only give commands with barely any effort, making a final struggle with the last shred of possibility.

However, at this moment, he did not notice that his deputy general Hou Junji was struggling, and in the end, his struggle turned into a fierce attack. He then drew his waist knife and stabbed it into Li Xiaogong's back.

"Ugh!"

Li Xiaogong's body stiffened abruptly as he looked down at the blood-dripping tip of the knife protruding from his chest.

A sharp pain and icy cold instantly swept through his body. With great difficulty and extreme slowness, he turned his head and saw Hou Junji's face, which had become ferocious due to tension, fear, and some kind of twisted madness!
"Hou...Jun...Ji...you...!" Li Xiaogong's eyes were filled with immense shock and overwhelming anger. He never expected that at this final moment, it would be him who would deliver the fatal blow to him!

This was one of Li Shimin's original generals, who participated in the Xuanwu Gate Incident with Li Shimin!

"General... I'm so sorry!"

A flicker of panic crossed Hou Junji's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness. He abruptly pulled back his waist knife, and blood gushed out of the wound on Li Xiaogong's back like a fountain!

"The Tang Dynasty is finished! I can't go down with it! Brothers, open the city gates! Welcome the royal army! We surrender!"

He roared hoarsely at the guards and generals around him who were completely stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Yes, the Tang Dynasty was doomed, but Hou Junji did not want to perish with it.

"Hou Junji, you deserve to die!"

Li Xiluo, who had not yet left, was shocked and instinctively wanted to draw his sword and slash at the other party.

However, someone else acted even faster. Hou Junji's son, Hou Wenlong, also stabbed him directly in the back.

"You...you bunch of traitors!"

"His Majesty will not let you go; he will surely exterminate your entire family!" In his last moments, Li Jieluo uttered a vicious curse at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji remained silent for a moment.

After all, his family was still at home, and his four sons, except for the eldest, were not by his side.

However, after a moment of silence, Hou Junji had already put the matter aside.

family?

What kind of?
Even if his wives and concubines are gone, if he wants one, a true man should never lack wives; he can simply remarry!
As for his bloodline, although he is old, he may not be able to regenerate.

But isn't his eldest son still by his side?
Their bloodline will never be broken!

Hou Junji had already used the family members and his other sons in the rear as a price to pay for his survival.
