Just as the infantry guards brought by Li Chen were about to be slaughtered, suddenly a group of people and horses turned around from the east side of Maoer Mountain. This group of people and horses were all cavalry.
Wu Ge was shocked: "Ma Si's men? Protect His Majesty!"
The Dragon Guards and the palace guards quickly surrounded Zhao Huan and protected him.
Zhao Huan saw that the leader was none other than Zhu Dalang, the deputy commander of the imperial guards and cavalry. It turned out that he had defected to King Kang.
The situation reversed in an instant. The Imperial Guards Cavalry Division was one of the three yamen that controlled the Imperial Guards, which were divided into the Palace Front Division, the Infantry Division, and the Cavalry Division.
I didn't expect that the deputy commander of the cavalry was actually Zhao Gou's man.
Zhao Huan secretly regretted that he always thought he was very smart and thought others were stupid. Zhao Gou usually acted cautiously, but it turned out that this was to paralyze himself. He had long been cultivating his own power behind the scenes.
But why was Zhao Gou so eager to take action? This was probably because of the Tiger Yamen and the Imperial Dragon Guard established by Zhao Huan.
The Tiger Guards and the Imperial Dragon Guards were omnipresent, gathering all sorts of intelligence. Zhao Gou, fearing that his true identity would be exposed one day, impatiently came up with this awful idea to lure Zhao Huan out.
Zhao Huan was foolish and underestimated the enemy. He knew it was a trap, and Zhao Gou knew the Emperor had guessed his plot. One was outwitting the other, while the other was outwitted.
Zhao Gou was not an ordinary person, so why didn't he think of it? In fact, I, Zhao Huan, am the biggest fool in the world.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhu Dalang came running over with his cavalry and surrounded Zhao Huan and others.
"Hahaha..." Zhao Gou laughed heartily, looking up to the sky. "Zhao Huan, you foolish ruler! You thought you were catching the mantis while the cicada was waiting, but I didn't expect that I'm not the mantis, but an eagle!"
Zhao Huan's heart sank. Wu Ge and Pan Bufeng brought mostly infantry. How could they resist these cavalry?
Zhao Gou pointed at him and said, "Zhao Huan, for the sake of our brotherhood, put down your weapons and I will spare your life."
Zhao Huan gritted his teeth and slowly drew the sword from his waist: "I am Zhao Huan, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. There are only emperors who died in battle, and there is no Zhao Huan who surrendered!"
Although he did not know martial arts, his aura intimidated many people, especially the soldiers under Wu Ge and Pan Bufeng.
"I swear to protect the emperor until my death!" Nangong Lian'er drew out a dagger and raised it above her head.
"We will protect the emperor until our death!" The blood of all the soldiers boiled instantly.
"Kill!" Pan Bufeng rushed forward first with sword raised.
"Go!" Zhao Gou waved his hand, and Li Chen led the remaining infantry guards and followed Zhu Dalang's cavalry to rush up and start fighting again.
After the fierce battle, the soldiers of the Imperial Dragon Guard and the Palace Guards were exhausted, especially since their opponents were the cavalry of the Cavalry Division. Soldiers around Zhao Huan kept falling down.
To capture the thief, capture the king. A cavalry guard raised his knife and rushed towards Zhao Huan. Wu Ge rushed over to block it.
Another cavalry guard raised his spear and lunged. Nangong Lian'er saw the ferocious force and was unable to block the spear's direct thrust. She extended her short knife and slashed diagonally, deflecting the spear's attack. Then she leaped from her horse and slid past the opponent's spear shaft with her foot.
With a "Swish!", Nangong Lian'er slashed the opponent's throat with the blade, and the cavalry guard fell off his horse and died instantly.
Pan Bufeng's fighting style is like a madman, he uses brute force to charge forward.
Although his fighting style may seem barbaric, it is quite effective in actual combat. When the enemy's weapon comes at him, Pan Bufeng will only dodge, then he will seize the opportunity to block the opponent's weapon and then use his body to directly charge into it.
Pan Bufeng was strong and sturdy, and he would often knock his opponent unconscious before giving him a finishing blow.
Zhao Gou frowned secretly. He had not expected the men Zhao Huan brought to be so capable. When Li Chen rushed in front of Zhao Huan, he was blocked by Wu Ge, while Pan Bufeng held back Zhu Dalang. There was also a woman in red beside Zhao Huan, making it difficult for him to approach.
Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel secretly anxious. Although the number of the enemy was decreasing, it would not be easy to win a quick victory.
Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, Zhao Gou took a bow from his horse and drew an arrow from his quiver. Unlike Zhao Huan, Zhao Gou knew some martial arts.
Zhao Gou drew his bow and aimed at Zhao Huan's back.
"Swoosh!" An arrow shot straight towards Zhao Huan's heart.
Nangong Lian'er was killing the enemy soldiers beside Zhao Huan. She turned around suddenly and saw an arrow shooting straight at Zhao Huan's back.
The distance was too close and it was too late to draw the sword. In desperation, Nangong Lian'er knocked Zhao Huan to the ground.
"Swish", the long arrow pierced Nangong Lian'er's left shoulder diagonally.
Zhao Huan turned around and saw what was happening, only to be terrified to death. He grabbed Nangong Lian'er and hugged her. At this time, another cavalry guard saw an opportunity and attacked with his sword. Fortunately, a nearby Yulong Guard blocked it.
Wu Ge was shocked, but he was held by Li Chen and couldn't get away. He shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
The palace guards and the Imperial Dragon Guards pushed their way towards Zhao Huan, and the generals surrounded Zhao Huan to be on the safe side.
When he looked again, Zhao Huan had less than 200 men with him, while the surrounding cavalry still had 700 to 800 cavalrymen.
Zhao Gou was delighted because his men had surrounded Zhao Huan.
The time was ripe, and Zhao Gou didn't want to play around anymore. A dozen archers drew their bows and aimed their arrows at Zhao Huan, and Zhao Gou waved his hand.
"Swish, swish, swish! ..." More than a dozen long arrows flew straight towards Zhao Huan.
Several arrows were blocked by the guards with their swords, but several long arrows still flew straight towards Zhao Huan.
At this critical moment, two soldiers of the Imperial Dragon Guard and a guard of the Palace Front Division rushed in front of Zhao Huan and acted as a human shield for him.
"Puff, puff, puff! ..." After several sounds, the three soldiers were shot to death by arrows.
