Chapter 219 Enemy Attacks

As soon as Zhu Yunwen's men entered the valley, they heard the sound of killing sounds, followed by thousands of arrows. Thousands of rockets rushed directly to Li Lu's iron cavalry, but an incredible thing happened. These rockets did not play any role in the cavalry at all, even if there was no hair hurting them.

"How is this possible!" Prince Wen was really stunned.

Xu Ai smiled and said, "Prince Wen, I forgot to tell you that this is the iron cavalry one of the strongest aces in the Ming Dynasty. You can't hurt others at all..."

"You..." Prince Wen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Although these rockets could not hurt the Iron Cavalry, they could not hurt the enemy because of the terrain, so they could only stay there in a stalemate. Li Lu quickly reported the situation. Of course, Zhu Yunwen felt strange. After all, in his opinion, this was definitely an ambush and it was coming towards him.

"General Li, can you tell the identities of these people?"

"Your Highness, from the outfits of those people, they should be from the Mughal Empire."

"The Mughal Empire?"

Zhu Yunwen was even more suspicious. After all, the Mughal Empire was famous for its elephant soldiers, but from his observations, the people who attacked them were clearly cavalrymen, so there must be ghosts.

"Li Lu, this attack is not easy. You ask the cavalry to retreat and replace my Dragon Squad..."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Wang Chengxian was hidden at the other end of the valley. He always observed the development of the situation. It turned out that he was waiting for the opportunity to take action. Just when Li Lu's iron cavalry was replaced, Wang Chengxian took action. His cavalry team kept attacking the enemy on the cliff with bows and arrows, and finally knocked the enemy away.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, we are our reinforcements..."

"General Li, don't you see that they have a problem?"

“What’s the problem?”

Zhu Yunwen sneered: "General Li, don't you think this reinforcement army is coming too timely, just like discussing with the enemy..."

"Your Highness, this may be a coincidence."

"The two armies faced off, and there was no casualty. Is this a coincidence?"

Li Lu was stunned for a moment. He seemed to see that there was something wrong with it, but when he was about to let the cavalry attack, Zhu Yunwen stopped him.

"General Li, don't worry..."

"Your Highness, why did you stop me..."

"General Li, sometimes the truth needs to be slowly discovered before it is interesting..."

"Your Highness, is this too dangerous?"

"Yue'er, go to the case to inquire, and leave and report if you find out."

"Yes, Your Highness..."

After Luo Yue finished speaking, she immediately disappeared. Even Li Lu was afraid of her illusion-like body movements. It was no wonder that the prince asked her to inquire about the news.

"Your Highness, is this really OK?"

"General Li, just ask your subordinates to take more precautions. Remember not to eat any food from the other party, even if it is water..."

Li Lu suddenly understood what Zhu Yunwen meant. Maybe there was really something wrong with the team ahead, and poisoning was probably the only way, but as long as his own people were not deceived, they would not be a threat.

After Li Lu thought it through, he walked up first. He shouted to Wang Chengxian's team: "Who is here? Come and sign up quickly..."

"I have not presented the king, I don't know if the prince's team is the crown prince..."

Li Lu sneered: "Yes, the team of His Highness the Crown Prince here..."

"Welcome to the Crown Prince and all the generals here in person..."

Wang Chengxian immediately explained his purpose and invited them to the Sichuan Army camp to rest. He thought that doing so would not cause suspicion, but he didn't know that the prince Zhu Yunwen had been secretly here this time, which also meant that even his boss, King Shu, was not aware of his whereabouts. Why did he, the deputy governor, know about it? The only answer was that Wang Chengxian and the enemy were in the same group.

"General Wang, why did you appear here?"

"Report to Your Highness, this is a spy who reported that the Mughals were coming to harass the border again..."

Li Lu couldn't help but ask strangely: "This Mughal is not adjacent to Yunsheng, so why did he come to your Sichuansheng?"

Wang Chengxian thought for a while and said, "Maybe the Mughal army suffered a great loss in Yunsheng, and in the end there was no way, it would attack Sichuansheng instead."

"So that's how it is."

Zhu Yunwen pretended to believe Wang Chengxian's nonsense, and finally agreed to rest at the Sichuan Army camp. Of course, Wang Chengxian had no doubts at all. He even thought that his acting skills were not flawed.

"Your Highness, will we be a little reckless in this way?"

"General Li, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger's son..."

Zhu Yunwen did not continue to chat with Li Lu, which would arouse the suspicion of Wang Chengxian and the others, and he would go back to protect the safety of the women.

"Mu Qing, please let several captains of the Women's Musket Team come here..."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

Zhu Yunwen quickly explained his purpose and took out a few poison-proof beads from his pocket. This was made by Zhu Yunwen using the inner alchemy of the cockscoon snake and some special materials. Just holding this bead in his mouth can relieve severe toxicity, even if it is a strange poison, it can be suppressed.

"This is a very precious poisonous bead. I have only twenty of them in total. I will give you three for each of you. Remember this treasure can only be given to important people."

"knew."

After listening to Zhu Yunwen's explanation of how to use this poison-avoiding bead, the girls carefully hid the beads. Li Huier originally wanted to give one to her brother Li Lu, but Zhu Yunwen stopped her.

"Hui'er, your brother has one on his hand long ago..."

"real?"

"Hui'er, your brother is my capable beloved. Of course, this treasure will not be missing his share."

Only then did Li Huier realize that she was worried about it, but judging from this matter, Li Huier also understood how the Crown Prince valued his brother.

"Mr. Xu, it's really a magic trick..."

"Prince Wen has been awarded..."

"Mr. Xu, are we acting according to the original plan?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll make some arrangements now."

Xu Ai looked at Prince Wen's figure who hurriedly left and felt suspicious. After all, Prince Wen's behavior was indeed suspicious, but Xu Ai did not expect that Prince Wen would secretly gather in a team. It turned out that the insidious and cunning Prince Wen not only wanted to eliminate Zhu Yunwen this time, but he also wanted to take advantage of this victory to seize all the weapons under Zhu Yunwen's hands.
