Chapter 452: Attacked
After leaving the city gate of Shuinan City, the road was unobstructed. After leaving the city, Huang Yuanwu slowed down. He thought about other things and some complicated things in his mind.
The two hundred guards guarded Emperor Yuanwu in the middle. Liu Yi followed Emperor Yuanwu by horses and found that he had been frowning since he left the city, so he asked in a low voice: "Little Prince, but what's wrong with the meeting just now?"
"It's very strange." Huang Yuanwu frowned, glanced at Liu Yi beside him, and whispered: "The tone of Huang Zhengchu's talking to me later changed suddenly, which made me feel a little uncomfortable."
After hearing what Emperor Yuanwu said, Liu Yi was stunned at first, and then asked, "I wonder what the little prince said?"
"He asked me to retreat and said he would tie Yang Qin to me." Huang Yuanwu said, and recalled the tone and expression of Huang Zhengchu when he said this: "That tone and expression are almost begging, haven't you heard it?"
Liu Yi was still stunned when he heard this, blinked and said, "When did he say this? My subordinates have been listening carefully, but they didn't hear him say this."
Liu Yi said it, and it was Huang Yuanwu's turn to be stunned. Instead, he thought of the performance of all the generals of the Northern King's Mansion just now, and then recalled the performance of Huang Zhengchu after seeing Huang Zhengchu. A feeling that was beyond common sense could not help but surged into his heart.
"Could it be... this Emperor Zhengchu..." Huang Yuanwu didn't say anything, but his brows frowned even tighter. He had experienced many incredible things before. Huang Yuanwu had a great question about Huang Zhengchu's performance just now. The attitude and expression of Huang Zhengchu talking to him just now, the almost begging tone was not the tone of a hero who was sure to win, but more like asking for help. It seemed that if he did not evacuate, something unpredictable would really happen.
This feeling lingers in Huang Yuanwu's heart, and an ominous premonition appeared. He once entered Xu Feng's time and space gate and personally experienced what it means not to be in the same time and space. He had a feeling that Huang Zhengchu might also know these things, and the expression and tone that suddenly appeared just now was his true intentions in another space and himself.
Liu Yi, who was by his side, was always following him, but he did not notice the changes in Huang Zhengchu at all. According to common sense, this was simply impossible.
Huang Yuanwu suddenly felt that his mind was a little confused. The affairs of the imperial capital were probably far from as simple as he imagined. There must be other secrets behind this that he did not know. The key figure of these secrets was Xu Feng.
However, Xu Feng had been taken away by the mysterious old man and was now missing. If you want to unravel the secret, you may have to rely on yourself.
"Start up and return to the camp as soon as possible." Putting aside these thoughts for the time being, Huang Yuanwu ordered to speed up his pace. The group immediately beat the horses, and the speed of the war horses increased. With the bright moonlight, they galloped towards the direction of the Dongwangfu camp.
In the sky, you can see large pieces of clouds floating slowly in the sky. After a while, the clouds blocked the moon and darkness once again enveloped the entire earth.
Without light, Huang Yuanwu and his group inevitably slowed down, and at this moment, they suddenly changed and burst.
"Swoosh..."
A few sharp arrows cut through the sky came. Almost at the same time, Huang Yuanwu heard a few muffled groans, and then the sound of the heavy body of the knight falling off the horse and falling to the ground. Huang Yuanwu reacted almost immediately and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Just as Huang Yuanwu shouted, several more arrow feathers shot from the side. Fortunately, the soldiers were ready this time, and the cold arrows shot did not cause any casualties.
"Southeast!" Liu Yi shouted, and he immediately identified the direction of the cold arrow shooting: "Four people!"
As soon as Liu Yi finished speaking, a seven-man team immediately rushed out of Huang Yuanwu's guard team, rushed straight to the southeast direction, and went straight to the place where the cold arrow shot.
"Continue to move forward and go forward at full speed!" Liu Yi ordered again, and the guards surrounded Huang Yuanwu and moved forward at the fastest speed. The speed was extremely fast. In a few blinks, the knight who had just rushed out was gone.
"hiss……"
"Dong..."
A neighing of a war horse came, and at the same time, several heavy muffled sounds came. The few war horses in the front fell down without knowing what they stepped on. The soldiers behind immediately grabbed the reins and the entire team stopped urgently.
In the sky, the breeze pushed the clouds to move, and the moonlight appeared again, and the silver light illuminated the way forward. Huang Yuanwu looked forward and saw that the four war horses in the front fell to the ground and the horse's hooves stepped on the spurs, and the blood was flowing continuously. He was lying on the ground neighing. One of the knights of the war horses was pressed on the horse and spitting blood, while the other three were standing beside the war horses, with their long swords unsheathed.
Huang Yuanwu quickly observed the surrounding terrain. This is a must-pass road from Shuinan City to the Dongwang Mansion. The imperial capital was said to be a plain, and it was not absolutely flat. There were some low-high hills and mountains on the area, which were also full of trees. Such a place was very easy to set up ambush. Huang Yuanwu looked at a dark forest not far away and frowned.
When they went to Shuinan City before, Huang Yuanwu felt that there might be an ambush here, but he passed safely. Unexpectedly, he was suddenly attacked on the way back. Huang Yuanwu suddenly thought a lot in his mind, but now it is not the time to talk about these things.
"To form a defensive formation, the five teams disperse and advance forward!" Huang Yuanwu cavalry was on the war horse, and the Eastern King's sword was unsheathed, so he grabbed it in his hand and immediately ordered.
The five squadrons of the sergeants immediately moved forward and slowly advanced from different directions, while the large army remained in place without moving.
The guard team brought out by Huang Yuanwu this time had a total of 30 squads, totaling 210 people. These soldiers were all personal soldiers directly under Huang Yuanwu. They were also elite personnel selected from various legions after the attack on the Eastern Prince's Mansion. They had extremely strong combat capabilities and absolutely loyal. At that time, several city lords chose such a unit because they were afraid that Huang Yuanwu would encounter the current situation.
At this moment, Liu Yi was much more nervous than Huang Yuanwu in the escort team. The purpose of his trip was to protect Huang Yuanwu's safety, but judging from the current situation, the enemy chose to take action under such circumstances and did not intend to let Huang Yuanwu go back alive. In this way, there are probably a large number of enemies who have sneak attacked.
What happened later confirmed Liu Yi's conjecture.
Before the five teams sent by Huang Yuanwu could advance far, many sounds of breaking through the air came from the jungle, and arrow feathers were everywhere in the sky. Although the members of the team responsible for the advancement were always alert and responded immediately, they were still one step late. Thirty-five guards, more than a dozen, were hit by the sudden arrow feathers and died immediately. Many of the guards born were injured and barely retreated.
Huang Yuanwu frowned. Just as he was about to give orders again, he saw dense figures walking out of the jungle not far ahead. They did not arrange any formations, and they seemed to be loose. The armor format they were wearing was not exclusive to the Qitian Empire. As soon as these people appeared, Huang Yuanwu immediately recognized them. Their outfits were exactly the same as those who had sneaked into his troops in the pass before.
"So I'm waiting for me here." Huang Yuanwu's eyes showed a sharp light, and a murderous intent was severely exposed. He always felt that things happened before were abnormal. Now these people appeared here, which confirmed some of his conjectures.
There are many people waiting and watching the situation in the imperial capital, but there must be some powerful tributes, unwilling to wait, and they want to create opportunities.
And now is the opportunity they created. As long as they kill Huang Yuanwu here, all the soldiers in the Eastern Palace would think that it was done by Huang Zhengchu, and the battle between the Eastern Palace and the Northern Palace is inevitable. After Huang Yuanwu left the camp, the chief commander of the Eastern Palace troops became Ding Jiang. With Huang Yuanwu's understanding of Ding Jiang, if he died, Ding Jiang would take revenge for himself at all costs, and the target of revenge would be Emperor Zhengchu of the Northern Palace.
This hits someone else's thoughts.
The attacks between the Eastern Prince's Mansion and the Northern Prince's Mansion will lead to the chaos of Qitian. The Eastern Prince's Mansion is like the Dinghai Dinghai needle of Qitian. The Eastern Prince's Mansion is still there, and others dare not act rashly. If the Eastern Prince's Mansion is in chaos, these people will have no worries and can raise an army and stand independent according to their own wishes. This is exactly what Yang Qin wants to see now. The more chaotic Qitian, the safer he will be.
Now, Huang Yuanwu understood why he had been in Shuinan City for so long, and before the news of Yang Qin had arrived, the imperial edict suddenly arrived when he was about to leave.
Yang Qin's purpose was to hold Huang Zhengchu up and let him not have the opportunity to rescue him. I am afraid that Yang Qin would also know that Huang Zhengchu would never really attack the Eastern Palace. What he wanted was Qi Tian's throne, not a chaotic world.
Looking at the group of loose enemies not far away, Huang Yuanwu felt chill in his heart. Yang Qin is no longer a cunning person. He really underestimated him before.
There seemed to be thousands of people in front of us, each with a long bow and crossbow in his hands and huge weapons on his back. It seemed that they were specially used for cavalry. In order to ensure that this sneak attack was foolproof, it seemed that these people were very prepared.
Huang Yuanwu sneered. Yang Qin had planned everything, but did not count the combat effectiveness of his guards. This was his mistake.
"Liu Yi."
"Subordinate is here."
Huang Yuanwu turned his head, looked at Liu Yi lightly, and whispered: "Give you a hundred people, kill all the enemies in front of you."
"The Lord of the Subordinate!" Liu Yi immediately clasped his fists with both hands, pulled out his sword at the same time, shouting: "The 100-man team, line up!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rode out of Huang Yuanwu's guards, and these soldiers still had expressionless faces. They saw more of such a formation. As elites among the various legions, after hundreds of battles, everyone has cultivation and will not be cowardly when facing enemies ten times their own.
"Don't leave any one, kill!" Liu Yi stood at the forefront of the team, gave a soft order, waved his sword and rushed forward first.
The entire Centenarian team had no echo, and could only hear the sound of the sword being unsheathed and the roar of the war horses galloping.
In the distance, the enemy's arrow feathers attacked again. But this time, with absolute preparation, the results were very little. None of the soldiers on the horse were caught in the arrow. They waved the long sword in their hands and flew up their fighting spirit, blocking all arrow feathers shot towards them. The entire 100-man team was like a sharp knife, without any resistance, and they rushed straight into the enemy's formation.
