Chapter 268: Ambush

Although Yuwen Chengchao brought not a tiger horse, it was a guard of the Hou Mansion.

Although these guards were caught off guard by surprise attacks, they were well-trained and responded much better than the Tiger Riders.

No one would have thought that there was an ambush in the woods.

Although they were attacked by the enemy, five or six people were killed by arrows, but the remaining seven people still reacted quickly, and the four guards had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths, like four wolves, and rushed straight into the forest, while the remaining three had quickly moved towards the old marquis.

In the face of an enemy attack, Yuwen Chengchao naturally did not want to entangle with these assassins, and the top priority was to take the old marquis out of danger.

He did not hesitate, picked up the old marquis, rushed to his horse, three guards as a human wall to protect the old marquis and Yuwen Chengchao, heard the sound of killing in the forest, naturally rushed into the forest of the guards and assassins to fight.

Yuwen Chengchao put the old marquis on the horse, and he also turned over on the horse, and the three guards also quickly got on the horse, and one of the guards just got on the horse, and another cold arrow shot out of the forest, piercing the guard's neck.

Yuwen Chengchao shook the reins of the horse and urged the horse to go east, and the two guards didn't care about their companions in the forest, so they patted the horse to follow.

The horse is like flying, and in a blink of an eye, it has run out of several miles, and suddenly, Yuwen Chengchao stood alone under the horse, but it was Yuwen Chengchao who was galloping, and suddenly stopped the horse.

I saw that on the road in front, more than a dozen horsemen blocked the way, and the sky was dim, but the other party was all armored, and the war knife in his hand was also shining.

"Wolf Ride!"

Yuwen Chengchao spat out two words from his mouth.

The armor and outfits of these dozen horsemen are the wolf cavalry under the command of the Zhen family.

Yiqi slowly took a few steps forward, and immediately the man said loudly: "My surname is Tang, my name is traceless, the deputy commander of the wolf ride, I eat the Zhen family's food, and my allegiance is Changxinhou." The blade pointed forward: "Yuwen Chengchao, you come to tell me, whose hands did the Marquis of Changxin and the young prince die in?" ”

The two guards had already rushed forward and guarded in front of Yuwen Chengchao.

Yuwen Cheng's face was solemn.

Although the news of the killing of the Zhen family's father and son cannot be hidden, there are very few people who know about the old marquis's entry into Beijing this time, and even when he went out of the city, he was not seen by a few people before dawn.

Even if he was seen, except for the henchmen of the Yuwen family, no one else knew that the old marquis was going to enter Beijing.

But the wolf rider is ambushed in the only way to enter Beijing.

The wolf rider is loyal to the Zhen family, and the father and son of the Zhen family were killed by the Yuwen family, but it is a matter of course that they want to avenge the father and son of the Zhen family.

But after the Zhen family's father and son were killed, what the court had to do was to immediately control the wolf riders and prevent them from acting rashly.

General Hei Yu is the chess player in this chess game, he used the Yuwen family to get rid of the Zhen family father and son, logically speaking, he will definitely make arrangements in Zhen County in advance, at least Du Hongsheng, the county guard of Zhen County, will immediately control the situation in Turtle City after the death of the Zhen family father and son, and will also send someone to give an order to the wolf rider not to leave the camp, and play the name of General Black Feather, even the wolf rider will not dare to leave the camp without permission.

Although the old marquis was attacked, perhaps because he had seen a lot of winds and waves in this life, he was calm and said loudly: "The father and son of the Zhen family have defected to the enemy and treason, and have been ambushed, you want to avenge the traitor, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Treason?"

"You don't know the truth, you are loyal to the Lord, and the old man doesn't blame you." The old marquis said in a deep voice: "If you return to the camp immediately and wait for the will of the imperial court, it will not be too late. ”

Tang Wuxian laughed and said: "We are serving the Zhen family's rice bowl, Changxin Hou is loyal to the court or not, we can't care about it, but if we eat other people's food, we must be loyal to the Zhen family." Old Marquis Yuwen, Marquis Changxin died in your hands, since you know that we want to avenge Marquis Changxin, you don't have to talk nonsense. I think that I am old, and I am also a well-known figure in Xiling, and I give you the opportunity to commit suicide, you really dare not do it yourself, you can ask your son to help you, if you don't even dare him, then we can only do it for you. ”

Yuwen Chengchao sneered: "Tang Wuxian, you really can afford to look down on yourself, just rely on a few of your miscellaneous fish, and you also want to block my Yuwen Chengchao's way?" "Knowing that there is no possibility of turning a war with this group of wolf riders, he shouted loudly, and he was already urging the horse forward.

The two guards also shouted in unison, clapping their horses and waving their knives and rushing forward.

Tang Wuxian waved his long knife, and the riders behind him did not hesitate, rushing forward like wolves and tigers.

Although the wolf rider has an advantage in numbers, Yuwen Chengchao is indeed not afraid, he is brave, his eyes are like knives, but his heart is determined, just break through from the middle of this group of wolf riders, and do not entangle with these people, it is important to get rid of these wolf riders first and save the old marquis.

More than a dozen wolf riders rushed forward, and two cavalry guards took the lead in engaging the wolf riders.

The wolf rider is the elite cavalry under the command of the Zhen family, and the two guards are also good hands of the Yuwen family, and they can be selected by Yuwen Chengchao to escort the old marquis into Beijing.

Yuwen Chengchao's knife is even more ruthless, a wolf rider swings a knife to cut, the big knife is still an arm's length from Yuwen Chengchao, Yuwen Chengchao's knife has been cut at the waist of the man, the man screamed, Yuwen Chengchao took the big knife upward, and in the man's scream, the neck of the person has been cut.

The two guards were on the left and right of Yuwen Chengchao, not daring to go too far, and the sound of the two sides fighting with big swords was endless.

Although the wolf rode many, Yuwen Chengchao was too brave, and more than a dozen people couldn't help Yuwen Chengchao for a while.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Yuwen Chengchao forced a wolf to ride a big sword, glanced back, and in the twilight, he saw a dense group of people appearing from behind, in addition to a group of cavalry, more than a dozen archers on foot were galloping behind the cavalry.

Yuwen Chengchao's heart sank.

He knew that this group of people must be the ambush soldiers who were in ambush in the forest just now, and the four guards rushed into the woods to meet the ambush soldiers in order to protect the old marquis.

The ambush caught up, Yuwen Chengchao knew that the other party was outnumbered, and once that group of people surrounded him, it would be even more difficult to break through, so he shouted: "Rush over." The big knife in his hand slashed forward again and again, and the momentum sank, those wolf riders saw that Yuwen Chengchao was fierce with a knife, and knew that if they were slashed by Yuwen Chengchao, they would almost die, and they didn't dare to wave their knives to meet each other, once Yuwen Chengchao approached, the wolf riders quickly dodged, but the two guards were entangled by the wolf riders.

Tang Wuxian saw that the wolf rider under his command did not dare to collide with Yuwen Chengchao, he seemed to be a little anxious, shouted, rushed forward, and slashed at it with a knife, but it was not aimed at Yuwen Chengchao, but directly slashed at the old Marquis of Yuwen.

Yuwen Old Marquis's face changed slightly, how could Yuwen Chengchao let Tang Wuxian hurt the old Marquis, the big knife picked up from the bottom up, full of strength, picked Tang Wuxian away from the big knife, and waved it over with a knife in his hand, Tang Wuxian hurriedly stood up to block, "choked", Yuwen Chengchao's blade slashed on the back of Tang Wuji's knife, and sparks splashed, but fortunately, Tang Wuxian was powerful, trying to block, and barely blocked Yuwen Chengchao's knife, which is so,

The strength of Yuwen Chengchao's way also shocked Tang Wuxian and made his mouth numb.

Yuwen Chengchao was not entangled with Tang Wuxi, patted the horse and left, glanced back, and saw that the two guards had already been surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry regiments, knowing that if he turned back to save him, no one would survive, gritted his teeth, shook the reins of the horse, and rushed eastward.

Suddenly heard a horse neighing, Yuwen Chengchao was taken aback, feeling his body fly forward, when he was critical, he read the old marquis, held the old marquis in his arms, and the two flew straight out of the horse's back, but the horse under the seat had fallen into the horse pit.

The wolf rider actually dug the trap pit in advance, and there was a wooden stake nailed in the trap pit, and after the horse fell, the stake barbed penetrated the body of the war horse, and the war horse struggled and neighed in the pit, which was unbearable.

When Yuwen Chengchao landed, he tried his best to turn around and let his back land on the ground, so that the old marquis leaned behind him, and the damage when he landed was naturally much less.

Although Yuwen Chengchao was strong, he fell to the ground this time, but he also had a huge pain in his back, his internal organs rolled for a while, and golden flowers appeared in front of his eyes.

But at this time, life and death were at stake, and he asked, "Father, are you..... How are you? ”

The old marquis also coughed violently, rolled from Yuwen Chengchao's body to the side, and said urgently: "Chengchao, Chengchao .....!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm ..... I'm fine. Yuwen Chengchao sat up, feeling that his throat was astringent, knowing that his injuries were still quite light, but he didn't dare to spurt blood, and forced himself to press down, at this time, he also knew why those wolf riders didn't fight with him, but he didn't really dare to fight with his life and death, but deliberately let himself break through and let himself fall into the trap they dug in advance.

When the wolf rider saw Yuwen Chengchao's plan here, they all cheered, and they had already heard Tang Wuxian shouting loudly: "His horse is gone, don't let them run away, kill me!" ”

The ambush soldiers who chased from the woods and the wolf riders who were blocking on this side added up to thirty or forty people, and Tang Wuxian could hear the cry of Tang Wuxi, except for the cavalry who were fighting with the two guards, the others were like a group of tigers and wolves who had found their prey, scrambling to chase after them.

Without the horses, the situation is even more dangerous.

Yuwen Chengchao did not hesitate, squatted down with his back, and said to the old marquis: "Father, come up, I'll carry you away." ”

"Chengchao, you go quickly, don't worry about me." The old marquis saw that the chasing soldiers were coming, and said sharply: "If you take me, neither of you will survive, go quickly, go quickly." ”

Yuwen Chengchao naturally couldn't leave the old marquis alone, so he couldn't help but say that he pulled the old marquis on his back, got up and ran.

The sky was dark, Yuwen Chengchao saw a forest not far ahead, and knew that the only way to survive was to rush into the woods with the old marquis on his back, and when he entered the woods, these cavalry would not be able to exert their strength.

Although his chest was tumbling and his blood was not smooth, he still carried the old marquis on his back, spread his legs, and ran straight to the woods in front of him.

His life was at stake, and although he carried people on foot, he was also like a gale, extremely fast.

But how can human legs be as fast as horses' legs, the cavalry behind rode over the horse pit, galloping like the wind, Yuwen Chengchao heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and even heard the sound of arrows shooting, and couldn't turn back for a while, and asked loudly: "Father, how are you?" ”

"Leave me alone.....!" The old marquis also tried his best and said: "Child, it's me who harms ..... I'm killing you......!"
