Chapter 26 Embarrassed Escape
Prince Zhi looked at the sunken sunset and held the war horses and ordered them to go on.△nw. The guards began to set up camps and could reach Hyogo tomorrow. The guards all put in full force and wanted to make a fortune.
The old Qin people were hardworking, and the old Qin people of Hyogo inherited the excellent genes of their ancestors. They worked hard every day, so most of them had wealthy families. Prince Zhi asked for his order to come in person, in fact, it was to make this fortune.
Anyway, Oeong-jun has betrayed His Majesty the Emperor and killed all his descendants and plundered his wife and daughter. He then packed and took away the accumulation of Hyogo for more than a hundred years. This is the real purpose of Prince Nao to come to Hyogo this time.
"Let the soldiers have a good rest for a night and be busy tomorrow." Prince Nao turned around and ordered Genyikyo.
As the direct victim of the mutiny of Oeongjun, Genyikyo strongly demanded to participate in this action. Of course, his purpose was similar to that of Prince Nao. Although Prince Nao could not eat meat, it was always OK to drink some soup.
On the high hill, Yun Xiao held up a telescope and looked at the guards in the distance. He also came to eat meat, but not Dayuanjun but Prince Zhi. Behind the hill were ambushed the Yun family guards and Dayuanjun's soldiers. Just by a command, Prince Zhi's trip was turned into the last pleasure trip in his life.
"I don't even send a scout in the valley. Is this the only candidate for the emperor to lead the army?" Yun Xiao turned around and looked at Dayuanjun.
"The Marquis doesn't know anything. Prince Zhi is still good. The other princes only know about flying eagles and lackeys every day, and they are not as good as Prince Zhi."
"The education of His Majesty the Emperor is very problematic! It doesn't matter, he is not well educated. I will interfere with him and educate him. After nightfall, I will keep guarding all the highs and lows, and no mouse can escape. Where is his guardian army?"
"Return to the Marquis, the 500 guardians of the rear army have set up camps with 20 miles."
"They are lucky. Dayuanjun asked Fusang to lead a thousand people to resist these five hundred people. No matter how they rush, they have to be defeated by this marquis."
"No, Marquis, don't worry. Just leave some to the last general."
As the sun sets, the dark night covers the entire valley. The crescent moons hang high in the sky, as if a child slid into the crack in the door to peek at everything under the night.
An invisible net has been spread out, and the 2,500 small fish in the valley are the prey of this net. These preys are still unknown at this moment. They are looking forward to grab more tomorrow. I heard that the girl in Hyogo is very beautiful, and it is also good to grab one and be a girl when she goes home.
The soldiers of the Guards fell asleep in various dreams. They needed to accumulate energy and a lot of physical strength tomorrow.
The quiet night passed slowly like this, and the mountain wind blew as if telling these soldiers something. However, the soul occupied by greed could not understand the sound of the wind. This day would be an unforgettable day for them. For many of them, this awakening was the last night in their lives.
The sun was still sleeping under the horizon, but the skylight had already awakened the earth. A soldier from the guard walked out of the tent and stretched lazily. Then he closed his eyes and let the water go on the grass.
In a daze, he seemed to feel a strong wind flying over. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the hills in the distance were full of warriors wearing black armor.
These people had hideous facial armor on their faces and were covered in fierce murderous aura. They were like gods of killing that emerged from hell.
"Enemy..." He only shouted a half, and felt that his strength seemed to be exhausted. He looked down and saw a thick crossbow arrow inserted into his chest. The bright red blood was flowing out along the pitch-black shaft, and the guards knelt on the ground with a "thump".
The green grass and the cool wind were his last memory. He widened his eyes, but there was no glory of life inside. God Amaterasu summoned his soul away, and his useless body would turn into a handful of soil in this grassland.
Prince Zhi was awakened by screams. When he walked out of the tent, his army was already in chaos. The guards raised shields to resist the crossbow arrows of the Yun family guards.
As for those crossbowmen, they were suppressed by the three-bow crossbow. The condescending guards of the Yun family. As long as they saw someone trying to pull the crossbow, the spear as thick as a javelin would nail the man to the ground.
"Hu" A man who was led to a crossbow gun flew over in front of Prince Zhi, and then nailed straight to a ox cart. The guard was still alive, and his hands and feet kept stomping backwards. He tried to get himself out of here, but the crossbow gun was too deep and could not be pulled out with his strength.
Prince Nao was stunned by the scene in front of him. There were dense black-armored samurai around him. Sometimes there were some Japanese soldiers wearing bamboo armor. These people were obviously soldiers of Oeongjun. Shouldn't they stay in Xiaguan, rectify their troops and attack Kyoto? How could they arrive here so quickly?
As long as Gen Yikyung knew, it was the consequence of his slow waiting for the scattered soldiers on the road. The guards of the Yun family and the soldiers of the Daewonjun took advantage of this opportunity to easily return to Hyogo. They were also waiting for the guards here for the night. They completed their encirclement.
"Prince, we are surrounded. What should I do?" Yuan Yijing rolled and crawled to Prince Nao and asked Prince Nao with a look of horror.
The guards beside them were very responsible to protect their master with their shields, and the javelin-like thing kept firing from a high place. Even the shield covered with iron could not stop them. The guards holding the shield fought with each other. They kept praying in their hearts, hoping that the spear like the god of death would not fall on them.
Prince Zhi was quite calm, and he hid between two ox carts. Because he found that the only one who could resist the terrifying crossbow gun in the camp was the ox cart, which was still a solid ox cart.
"Don't panic, Gen Yikyung. You are now rushing out with those hundred cavalrymen, and you must see His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible. Let him send troops to save us."
When Gen Yikyung heard this, he was overjoyed. He was able to leave this place of death. Unexpectedly, Prince Nao actually sent him to break out to deliver the letter.
Japan is narrow and has few people, and horses are extremely scarce. Only hundreds of cavalry are present in the Guards, and only the generals or the few generals in the hands of Daming, some poor Daming do not even have a single horse to ride.
This time when Prince Zhi went to the expedition, the Emperor specially appointed 100 cavalry to accompany him. The main purpose was to demonstrate the military power of His Majesty. He never thought that it would come in handy at this time.
"The last general will definitely live up to Prince Zhi's entrusted and bring reinforcements as soon as possible." After Genyijing bowed, he went to find the centurion of the cavalry and prepared to break through and escape.
"Prince, why don't you let the cavalry protect you? Yuan Yijing is famously afraid of death. What should you do if he asks him to ride his horse away?" The guard beside him asked with concern when he saw Yuan Yijing leaving.
"Idiot, do you think breaking through is so good? That's a life-and-death matter. Thank God for those a hundred cavalry who could rush over ten people alive.
He Yuan Yijing ran faster than a rabbit when he was afraid of death and encountered danger. He might be able to break through, but for now he could only wait for his father's rescue.
Order everyone to leave the camp and rush up the slope over there. Where can there be at least stones that can stop the damn crossbow gun."
The three-bow crossbow is ruthlessly reaping the lives of the Guards, in front of powerful crossbow guns. All armor and shields are slags, and almost every crossbow gun shot will take away the souls of one or two Guards.
There is a hillside about two hundred steps away from the Guards. There is a rugged rocks. It is a good place to avoid crossbow guns. At least the crossbow guns cannot penetrate the hard rocks.
When he was camping yesterday, Prince Zhi noticed it. It was just that there was a slope and it was farther from the water, so he chose the place he is now.
After receiving the order from Prince Zhi, the guards, who had already been screaming, snatched out simple camps and ran towards the slope. The Yun family guards fired a flutter of iron-tied crossbows. The guards rushed to the slope with shields while quickly rushing towards the slope.
Along the way, many guards were shot down by crossbows, and most of the injured guards were caught in arrows where their legs were blocked by shields. They were wailing helplessly on the ground, but their robes ran past them quickly. At this time, their father and mother got married, and everyone was concerned about each other and no one had time to stop to rescue the injured.
As soon as you stop, you will be shot by countless crossbow arrows. The guards of the Yun family like to shoot relatively unmoving things because the hit rate will be a little higher.
Moreover, these guys like to shoot their legs, and even the fallen guards did not shoot them. The crossbow arrows were so strong that they greeted their thighs. The injured soldiers were dragging their legs with blood flowing toward the slope. Some hugged their thighs and wailed loudly, begging their robes to save themselves.
"Don't save people, run away!" Prince Zhi was so angry that his head was smoking. The Han people's tactics were so vicious. The injured were obviously bait, which lured more people to go to rescue. Then the hateful black-armored warriors could shoot and kill them at will.
Genyikyo urged the war horse under his crotch, and a hundred cavalry galloped forward like crazy. There were constant intensive crossbow arrows shooting from the hillsides on both sides, and the cavalry could not protect their horses.
The war horse that was only hit by one or two arrows ran even more violently, while the war horse that was shot like a hedgehog would fall to the ground wailingly.
One war horse after another fell to the ground and whine, the knight who fell to the ground was thrown into turmoil. Before he could stand up, he was greeted by the iron-tied crossbow.
"Stay a few, keep a few fucking me or not." The eagle roared in anger on the hillside. The guards were so anxious that they almost left all the hundreds of cavalry here.
