Chapter 405: Swapping Identities
Since he couldn't find the enemy, Chu Yun could only stop using it for the time being, although the plug-in was strong, it would hurt his body after a long time.
Chu Yun pondered for a while, assuming that he was an ambusher, then since the first wave of ambushes and the second wave of ambushes were set up, and there were people on the mountain as a response, there was no reason not to set up a third ambush, judging from the scale of the first two ambushes, the other party would definitely not want to use the first two waves of people to wipe out all the teams on Chu Yun's side.
Just like the time when Cao Cao defeated Huarong, Zhuge Liang set up ambushes several times, and every time Cao Cao started laughing, the ambush soldiers appeared, which can be called a slap in the face at the speed of light. Although this is a dramatization of the romance, in reality, multiple ambushes are very useful.
First of all, this trick can make the ambushed team disheartened, and the rumors are loud, and when they encounter an ambush, they will definitely be distraught and their combat effectiveness will drop sharply.
And the rolling stones on the mountain make people dare not have the idea of fighting, and they can only be exhausted. If Chu Yun was the mastermind, he would definitely arrange several ambushes in the back, until the last wave, to launch a war of annihilation against their team, and the location of this ambush was very likely to be at the exit of this mountain road.
Then, the only variable may be that Chu Yun, an open-hanging existence, found those ambushes in the dark night, and annihilated the enemy army at a very small cost, and did not divide the troops again.
Therefore, it is very likely that the other party discovered this and was afraid of Chu Yun, so he did not rashly ambush again.
But Chu Yun felt that they would not stop. If there were no ambushes along the way, it would only mean that they had all gathered at the end of the mountain road, where they were preparing for a general attack. Perhaps, the tranquility of the past will also relax the nervous soldiers, but it is difficult for those who have relaxed to become nervous again.
Chu Yun felt that every step he took was in a routine, and now that the light was blind, how could he break the game?
When Chu Yun stopped his horse, everyone else spontaneously stopped, and Chu Yun glanced at the Seven Princes who were protected by the guards, and his face was very solemn.
No matter what, the Seventh Prince and Li Xiuli can't have an accident.
"Your Highness, take a step to speak."
Chu Yun said to the Seventh Prince very seriously, the Seventh Prince nodded, Chu Yun turned his head again, and said, "General Yan, please protect us and don't let others approach." ”
This seemed to be discussing a confidential matter with the Seventh Prince, General Yan took the order, and Chu Yun and the Seventh Prince went into the grove.
Taking advantage of this rare peaceful opportunity, Chu Yun was very worried that the people on the mountain would start throwing stones down again, and after making sure that others could not see or hear their conversation, Chu Yun said very eagerly: "Your Highness, now our situation is very critical, I don't know how many assassins are ahead, Your Highness cannot afford to lose, so please also ask Your Highness and Weichen to change clothes." ”
The Seventh Prince was shocked when he heard this, he never thought that the matter would be so serious, but he believed in Chu Yun very much, and did not feel that Chu Yun was unfounded or alarmist, but although he and Chu Yun were slightly opposed, the difference was obvious.
Chu Yun was also a little taller than the Seventh Prince.
As for whether it would be dangerous for Chu Yun to disguise himself, this was not the focus of the Seventh Prince. He was more concerned about whether Chu Yun could disguise himself.
This is the general idea of the emperor's family, the courtiers should be loyal to death, if they really die, they will definitely be very moved, and maybe cry.
However, Chu Yun is not so loyal to the Seventh Prince, he is a person who has a wife, how can he be willing to die like this! If it weren't for him as the ambassador of the team, if the Seventh Prince died, he wouldn't have survived, and Chu Yun wouldn't have come to play any identity exchange with the Seventh Prince.
As for himself, he has the blessing of running fast skills, and it is now at night, Chu Yun quietly put on the dark night suit, the situation is really not good, he can still escape obscenely, so swapping identities with the Seventh Prince is not a big problem.
The human skin mask he carried with him was used on the body of the Seven Princes, and Chu Yun himself used the function of the mask for the first time and became the appearance of the Seven Princes.
Perfect!
As for the small gap in figure, if it is a big night, you don't have to worry about being seen through by others.
The two people who completed the exchange, when they came out of the forest, both had heavy faces, Chu Yun now used the face of the Seventh Prince, he still acted quite similarly, with a dull face, which suddenly made others feel that Chu Yun must have told the Seventh Prince a lot of unfavorable situations, so his face was so ugly.
Chu Yun said in a deep voice: "Continue to set off." ”
This was given as the Seventh Prince, no one asked what had happened before, and in short, the team moved on.
The speed of the march was very slow, and Chu Yun, under the protection of the guards, seemed to be wandering out of the world on horseback, while the Seventh Prince pretended to be Chu Yun, and did not open the way in front anymore, and gradually retreated to the back row. Originally, as a civilian official, he shouldn't have to rush into battle as if he had to go ahead.
There doesn't seem to be any danger now, and the Seventh Prince's move didn't arouse suspicion. It is inconvenient to march at night, let alone the mountain paths, the troops walk very slowly, and if it were not for the presence of unknown enemies, they should all rest in place.
But now it's about the same, the team is walking for a while, resting for a while, and keeping the soldiers' physical strength full at all times. Anyway, now they are ready, if there are stones rolling on the mountain, they will run, if they don't roll stones, they will walk slowly, even if they encounter the enemy, they can have the strength to fight.
After walking for more than an hour, the sky was white, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, their team reached the exit of the mountain valley road.
The terrain is very interesting, with mountains on both sides of the road, and further on, you will be off the cliff.
After the cliff, there are more mountains behind them, and the two mountains that hold the mountain road they are walking on now are also called the Two Realms Mountain. The reason for this is probably because this is the dividing point between things.
After the two boundary mountains, you will arrive at Shudi, in ancient times, Shu land did not belong to the land of the Central Plains Dynasty, but a small country of Fanbang, these two boundary mountains, once was the border.
After the Two Realms Mountain, they may be safe, although the cliff is high and steep, but the road below the mountain is quite wide, and it is not as suitable for ambush as the side of the Two Realms Mountain.
The steepness of the cliff can quote a poem by Li Bai, the flight of the yellow crane is not yet passable, and the ape wants to climb through the sorrow.
Therefore, ordinary people do not walk from above, but go around directly from the bottom of the cliff.
There is nothing wrong with leaving people below, but it is almost impossible to ambush people from above.
Fortunately, when Chu Yun was walking this road, he first passed by the town in front of him and bought a map, and he also knew what the characteristics of the terrain here were, so he could analyze that when he arrived at the junction of the Two Realms Mountain and the Liren Cliff, there would definitely be an ambush.
Moreover, this is the final showdown.
Before, Chu Yun and the Seventh Prince had already spoken, so when they came here, the Seventh Prince clutched his throat and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "General Yan, be careful that there is an ambush here!" ”
General Yan suddenly became nervous, and while asking the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance, he said to the Seventh Prince: "What's wrong with Lord Chu?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a roar just now, maybe it broke my throat."
The Seven Princes are not like Chu Yun who can also use ventriloquism, so they can only pretend that their throats are uncomfortable, but fortunately, Chu Yun did shout a few times before, and the Seven Princes' explanation like this can be regarded as seamless.
In this way, the Seven Princes don't need to speak anymore, in short, he is playing Chu Yun now, just keep a low profile, of course, the Seven Princes played by Chu Yun is also very low-key, even if he is protected by a few guards, he is like the brightest star in the night sky, and the assassins will definitely come at him.
Although Chu Yun realized that there might be danger here, he never thought that as soon as he walked here, he heard a sound of hooping, this is simply ten thousand arrows fired at all!
Chu Yun's heart was almost broken, could there still be such an operation! Where are the assassins on the other side, it is clearly an army with many archers!
After a round of shooting, there were suddenly dead and wounded in the team, Chu Yun and the Seventh Prince were not injured under the protection of others, but the soldiers were either dead or wounded. But this was only the beginning, another round of shooting, although because of the first round of arrows, the soldiers had already taken precautions, but they were not very well equipped.
You know, here is in the territory of Great Xia, they have more than a thousand troops, all of them are stubborn and stubborn, plus the people of Xichuan, who dares to provoke such a force, so this escort army is actually not an army to guard against enemy attacks at all, more of a representative, or face, although they also have combat effectiveness, they are actually honor guards.
Therefore, their troops are not destined to be like the real soldiers who can go to the battlefield, there are archers, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and the escort team only has spearmen, so when facing bows and arrows, there is no way to fight back.
No one expected that there would be such a result, their army, like a paper tiger, was broken with a single piercing.
The assassins were no longer hiding, a large number of people rushed out, looking at the number of people, it was actually above the number of troops on Chu Yun's side, also because there were a lot of losses before, some were divided, some were stoned to death, and some were killed in battle, and now, there are still so many people who have been shot to death, and the number of assassins is actually dominant.
At this moment, the Seventh Prince decisively shouted: "Protect Your Highness and retreat!" ”
Chu Yun has 10,000 sentences in his heart, this Seventh Prince, looking loyal and honest, is actually not a fuel-efficient lamp, a proper scheming BOY, this will clearly be using him as a target!
But this sentence is indeed just right, immediately, the people of Xichuan escorted the Xichuan princess Li Xiuli, General Yan led the remnants and guarded Chu Yun to break through, and the Seven Princes followed and fled very cleverly.
At this time, it is certain to die if you flee alone, retreat under the protection of the soldiers, and there is still a glimmer of life.
The battle can be said to be quite tragic, what Chu Yun saw in his eyes, the flesh and blood were squandering, and General Yan was covered in blood, and he just fought a bloody way.
But what about rushing out of this valley? Even the troops were suppressed, Chu Yun originally thought that as long as he broke out of the mountain road that was easy to be ambushed and reached the bottom of the cliff, the two sides would not necessarily lose if they fought against each other.
However, the other party undercounted that Chu Yun could find their ambush soldiers, and Chu Yun did not expect that the other party would be able to organize a team of archers.
Now, having broken through, they can only continue to flee, but maybe there are no more assassins ahead, as long as they reach the town, they will be saved.
But there are all kinds of signs that the person who planned this matter is not simple, and the neat salvo of bows and arrows, who else can do it except the army!
Moreover, in addition to the army, there are so many types of bows and arrows in the army.
Then there were the number of these Assassins, at least five hundred. Such a large group of people, planning to attack the prince of Great Xia in the territory of Great Xia, if it is said that there are no internal ghosts, Chu Yun will definitely not believe it!
However, only when he had his life to escape could he have a chance to investigate the matter.
The group fled to the bottom of the cliff in a panic, there were only about 100 people on the side of Great Xia, and the civil officials of the envoy regiment did not know how many died, and the soldiers were even more killed and wounded.
Xichuan's side is much better, most of its combat effectiveness has been retained, and the casualties are relatively light.
They weren't paddling, but Xichuan's guards were very capable of fighting alone, and when the rain of arrows came, they didn't dodge the people who were shot dead in the first wave, and the second wave of the rain of arrows was used as a shield by their companions.
This is the difference between Nishikawa and Bactria .
The people of Great Xia feel that the dead are great, how can they bear to use the corpses of their comrades as shields, but Xichuan does not have so many scruples, and the most important thing is to be alive.
In fact, Chu Yun also felt that Xichuan's approach was right, but at that time, it was too late for Chu Yun to remind him, not that Chu Yun cared about face.
The assassin continued to pursue, and Chu Yun saw two forks in the road appear in front of him, and immediately ordered: "Run separately!" ”
If you look down from here, the Liren Cliff is like a column, and a line comes out from the side of the Two Realms Mountain, drawing a circle around the Liren Cliff.
This line, of course, is the road!
At this time, the soldiers were divided into two ways, Chu Yun was not out of his mind, but, this was the only way to protect the Seventh Prince, and he should be able to escape.
Anyway, when the two sides are together, they are also being pursued and separated, so that the other party can distract themselves.
Under Chu Yun's order, the Seventh Prince suddenly understood that this was the opportunity that Chu Yun had created for himself, and of course he was so moved in his heart.
So, when the road forked, he deliberately leaned closer to the guards on Xichuan's side, and Xichuan's guards also knew Chu Yun and had an excellent relationship with the princess, so they ran away with him, while Chu Yun was protected by the last remaining hundred people and continued to run for his life.
This battle was not tragic, and even the main general, General Yan, was killed in battle, so they won a way out.
At this time, however, all their money and baggage were abandoned, and all of them rode horses, but they ran very fast, but not many of their pursuers had horses......
