Chapter 1783 Fighting, backhand!
A head wearing a prince's crown suddenly separated from the body with blood splattering, rolled several times on the ground, and was covered with dust.
Those eyes were still wide open, filled with endless fear, anger and disbelief.
The headless body twitched a few times and then fell silent.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Everyone who saw this scene, whether it was the imperial guards and Liu Xiu's subordinates who were fighting, or the officials who were terrified in the distance, were shocked beyond words by this bloody scene of parricide!
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and deathly silence, which was soon replaced by even greater madness!
"Your Majesty!!!"
Xiao Yan witnessed the killing of Prince Qinghe with his own eyes. His eyes instantly turned blood red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he fell into complete madness!
"Revenge the prince! Kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
The commander's madness ignited the anger and bloodiness of all the imperial guards!
They already had the advantage in numbers, and now, like wounded beasts, they erupted with 200% combat power! Their attacks became even more frantic, regardless of the cost!
"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!" The deafening roar swept across the battlefield.
Huo Guang and Wang Lei suddenly felt the pressure increase several times!
The imperial guards completely gave up their defense and rushed forward like a tide, hitting the shields with their bodies and consuming their physical strength with their lives.
The circular formation was impacted and kept caved inward, with many dangerous situations lurking around!
A captain of the imperial guards even bravely rushed into the inner circle and stabbed Liu Xiu's back with the spear in his hand!
Huo Guang was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He blocked the spear with a knife and chopped it down with his backhand. However, Wang Lei on the other side was attacked by several spears at the same time. His shoulder blade was pierced instantly. He screamed and almost fell to the ground!
Liu Xiu stood there holding a bloody ring-handled sword.
The circle of guards around him was shrinking rapidly, and loyal soldiers fell one after another.
The crazy faces and bloody swords and guns of the imperial guards were almost within reach.
Arrows whizzed past him, and even blood splattered on his armor.
His previous calm and composed demeanor finally disappeared, his brows furrowed, and his eyes scanned the increasingly critical battle situation sharply.
He personally ignited the opponent's most crazy flame of revenge. At this moment, he himself was completely trapped in the core of this flame and was in a precarious situation!
Huo Guang desperately hacked down two imperial guards who rushed forward, his voice hurried and hoarse: "Your Highness! The front line is almost broken! We must break out!"
But enemies are rushing towards us from all directions. How can it be easy to break through?
Liu Xiu, the prince who had just eliminated his biggest political enemy with thundering means, was suddenly caught in an unprecedented life-and-death crisis of his own making!
Just when Liu Xiu's formation was about to collapse and the blades of the imperial guards were about to touch the black armor -
"Woo-buzz-"
A desolate and penetrating horn sound suddenly came from the southeast of the battlefield, drowning out the deafening shouts and cries!
Immediately afterwards, the earth began to tremble violently, more heavily and more regularly than when the Imperial Guards charged, as if a prehistoric beast was approaching!
All those fighting subconsciously slowed down their movements and looked towards the source of the sound in surprise and confusion.
On the horizon, a black torrent rolled in!
The flags are clear, swords and spears are everywhere, and on the galloping war horses are elite cavalrymen who are all dressed in the standard black armor of the border army and dark red robes!
They were like a red-hot blade, piercing the flank of the chaotic battlefield with unstoppable momentum!
The leading general was about thirty years old, with a stern and weathered face. His tiger eyes gleamed with brilliance and he looked intimidating without even being angry.
He was wearing a black Qilin armor with a scarlet cloak fluttering wildly behind him. In his hand was a long iron spear with a cold glow. He was none other than Huo Quji, the Duke of Protector of the Country, who was feared on the border and in charge of the military affairs in the northern border of the Han Dynasty!
"Suppress the rebellion by order! Protect the emperor!"
Huo Quji's voice was like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Prince of Chenliu! All officers and men, listen to my orders! Capture all the traitors and rebels! Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
"kill!!!"
Thousands of frontier cavalry roared in unison, the sound shaking the earth. Their power was far beyond the reach of the pampered imperial guards.
They were like a tiger among a flock of sheep, and instantly crashed into the chaotic flank of the Imperial Guards!
Iron hooves trample, spears thrust, and sabers slash!
The border cavalry were experienced in the battlefield, had good coordination, and launched an extremely fierce attack.
The imperial guards, who had been frantically besieging Liu Xiu, were caught off guard by such a fierce attack on their flanks. Their formation was thrown into disarray, and large numbers of them were cut down and knocked away, with screams ringing out. The battlefield situation was instantly reversed!
"Protector... Protector of the Country?! Why... why is he here?! Shouldn't he be fighting the Chu army in the northern border?!"
When Prime Minister Chen Pin saw the familiar large banner with the word "Huo" on it and the figure under it who looked like a god of war, he was suddenly struck by lightning. The blood drained from his face, leaving only boundless horror and disbelief!
The appearance of Huo Quji completely shattered all his calculations and chances of winning!
In sharp contrast to Chen Pin's panic, Liu Xiu, who was at the center of the storm, seemed to have anticipated all this.
He even gently straightened his cloak, which had become a little messy due to the previous fierce battle. He looked at Chen Pin, whose face was ashen. His tone was still calm, but it was filled with a kind of shrewd mockery:
"Prime Minister, do you really think that I would leave no plans behind and charge headfirst into your dangerous den with only a thousand men?"
"From the moment this king decided to take action, an urgent military report was sent out eight hundred miles away."
Chen Pin's face turned from white to blue, then from blue to purple, and finally turned into a desperate and hideous expression.
He knew that he had completely lost, lost to the prince's unfathomable scheming and planning.
But the trapped beast still fought. A final flash of madness flashed in his eyes, and he shouted at Xiao Yan who was fighting hard in front of him with all his strength:
"Xiao Yan! Don't worry about the others! Kill Liu Xiu! Quickly! As long as we kill him! We can still turn the tables! Quickly!!"
At this moment, Xiao Yan was already blood-thirsty and covered in blood. He knew that he had no way out. Even if Huo Quji came, as long as he captured Liu Xiu, he might be able to hold him hostage to protect himself, or even turn the tables!
Hearing Chen Pin's roar, his eyes blazed with fury, and he roared, "Guards, follow me! Whoever takes Liu Xiu's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold coins!"
After saying that, he took more than ten of his most elite personal soldiers and launched a desperate charge towards Liu Xiu's core position like a mad tiger!
Although Huo Guang and Wang Lei were already injured, seeing this situation, they were furious and led the last remaining guards to fight to the death:
"Protect His Highness! Stop them!"
The most elite forces of both sides suddenly collided with each other, with swords flashing and blood and flesh flying everywhere. The battle was extremely brutal.
Huo Guang entangled Xiao Yan tightly, and the two fought with swords and spears, and the battle was difficult to separate.
But Xiao Yan's personal soldiers were all brave and charged desperately, and were about to tear open the last line of defense!
