Chapter 723 Tanks Arrive in Central City
Chapter 723 Tanks Arrive in Central City
He also had to thank Chu Chen, who, with a single move, rendered the Luo family unable to run away.
From then on, the four families became three.
After Li Haoran expressed his rebellious intentions, the Wang and Tang families worried that they would be swallowed up by the Li family.
Therefore, they had no choice but to rely on the imperial power.
At this moment, the Wang and Tang families will each send out a vanguard, and the three families will wear each other down.
Once they are all exhausted, I only need to make a slight move to bring peace to the world and eliminate the four great families.
Thinking of this, he laughed wildly, looking up at the sky.
At Zhao Bei's request, carrying the imperial decree, Wang Leyi, the head of the Wang family, and Tang Tu, the head of the Tang family, sat facing each other.
"Eunuch Zhao, you should leave first. We two need to discuss the matter of sending troops."
Wang Leyi looked at Zhao Bei and said somewhat uncertainly.
Zhao Bei looked at the two of them seriously: "You two family heads, I have already delivered the message. Now that your Wang and Tang families have joined His Majesty's ranks, you must share His Majesty's burdens and must not have any other thoughts."
After saying that, Zhao Bei laughed and walked out of the two camps.
After Zhao Bei left, Tang Tu looked at Wang Leyi with a gloomy expression: "Brother Wang, His Majesty is trying to weaken the strength of our three families."
"Brother Tang, we understand the logic, but what can we do now?"
The two were quite embarrassed at this moment, because how could they not know the information that the Li family and Ma Keqing had access to?
The story of Chu Chen's sudden emergence, his forceful bombing of the palace, and the large bird flying in the sky have already become legendary tales in Anchang.
Both families are now in a dilemma.
Caught in the middle, I can't afford to offend either of them.
So far, Chu Chen has not appeared, so they cannot see the current situation clearly.
However, if he didn't send troops, Ma Keqing could make them build graves on the spot in the next moment.
"Brother Tang, what do you think? Should we fight or not?"
Wang Leyi looked at Tang Tu with some anxiety and said.
"What can we do if we don't fight? If we don't fight, we'll both be dead in the next moment!"
"Let's send troops. Perhaps His Majesty is right. As long as we deal with Li Haoran, then Chu Chen will be no threat."
"Chu Chen only has one of those big birds, while we have thousands upon thousands of experts."
While comforting himself and Wang Leyi, Tang Tu waved to summon his attendants.
"Issue the order: all Tang family men of rank two and below shall immediately set out to attack the Li family's camp."
Wang Leyi nodded and smiled after hearing this, thinking to himself, "You old fox, you're just conserving your strength."
If no one of the second-rank officials or above is sent out, isn't that just sending them to their deaths?
You're really ruthless.
Immediately, he summoned his followers: "All members of the Wang family, those of the second rank and below, shall attack the Li family's camp. Furthermore, all servants and attendants shall be equipped with weapons and shall join the attack."
After hearing Wang Leyi's arrangement, Tang Tu immediately gave him a thumbs up.
You're really stingy; you even dragged in ordinary people.
Is this a direct suicide mission to let His Majesty know how many members of your royal family have died?
The two old foxes stared at each other.
"Haha, Brother Wang, the battle would probably be over by the time an ordinary person even gets to the other side."
"Brother Tang, we're in the same boat. Those below the second rank aren't exactly servants either."
"As long as the Tang family's foundation remains, you can gather as many people like them as you want."
"Ha ha ha ha.........."
Immediately afterward, amidst the two's laughter and chatter, those who had fought for their families were unknowingly turned into cannon fodder.
So, after lunch, shouts of battle echoed throughout the outskirts of the central city.
Looking at the motley crew charging towards him, Li Haoran thought to himself, "You Wang and Tang families are really inhuman."
You should know that among these people, there may be the next heads of your two families.
If you destroy the power that has helped your family grow, then both of your families are not far from destruction.
"Li Family Army, listen to my command! All experts from the fourth to sixth rank, engage in battle, and eliminate them as quickly as possible."
"The opponents are all low-level martial artists of the first or second rank. If you suffer any casualties in this kind of battle, you might as well commit suicide!"
After saying that, Li Haoran sat down on the temporary platform erected in the center of the camp.
He watched the approaching crowd with no interest, then picked up a cup of tea and leisurely enjoyed this rare moment of peace.
As expected, within just one hour, not a single person from the Wang and Tang families remained; all of them left their corpses on the battlefield.
On the Li family's side, only one soldier accidentally twisted his ankle during the charge.
For this, he was severely scolded by his general.
At that very moment, in the distance where the two armies were facing off, an infantry fighting vehicle came to a stop.
Chu Chen held the binoculars, observing everything before him.
I thought to myself, wasn't this supposed to be a rebellion? How did it turn into a siege?
And what's going on with Mark Qing? Why did he send so many people to his deaths all afternoon?
Is this an attempt to exhaust the opponent?
Filled with doubts, Chu Chen didn't go any further. Instead, he climbed into the armored vehicle, lay down, and waited for night to fall.
The two women who had been inside the armored vehicle earlier thoughtfully followed them inside as well.
They took meticulous care of their weary owner.
After a nap, it gradually got dark.
Chu Chen did not turn on the car lights, but instead led the two women out of the armored vehicle.
Then he waved his hand and pulled out a night vision device, put it on his head and observed the surrounding environment.
With a thought, ten tanks, twenty infantry fighting vehicles, and ten thousand machine gunners appeared in this area.
"Come on, I'll take you two to war."
Looking at the soldiers standing ready in front of him, Chu Chen put his arm around one of their shoulders and said to them.
"Young master, didn't we just have a battle?"
"Uh, this is not the same as that battle. Everyone, listen up, get in the car, let's go."
At Chu Chen's command, everyone slowly moved toward the city gate of the central city.
Neither Li Haoran nor Ma Keqing were asleep at this moment; they were in their respective camps, deploying battle plans.
But the next moment, the two felt the ground begin to shake slightly.
Immediately afterwards, they heard a roar like that of a ferocious beast.
Not only the two of them, but both sides in the confrontation heard such a terrifying sound.
So the two of them left the tent and looked out towards the city center.
A bright white light appeared ahead, instantly illuminating everything outside.
This includes the flat area outside the city center and the corpses from the daytime battle that have not yet been dealt with.
Li Haoran was overjoyed at the sight. He knew in his heart that Chu Chen had arrived and had come to break the deadlock.
So he quickly tidied his clothes and, in a flash, headed towards the light.
