Chapter 268
Zhao Qing's purpose in sneaking in this time was to rescue Lu Gaoyuan, only Zhao Qing knew how important Lu Gaoyuan was to them, even more important than Bai Tu expected.
With a few of them being discovered by the people in the prison, it was only a matter of time before Zhao Qing had expected this, but what he didn't expect was that these Qin troops would assemble so quickly, outside the prison were all Qin troops wearing black iron armor, and the crossbow was wound up The target was Zhao Qing and his party who appeared in front of the door.
The first to go out was Bai Tu, who was held hostage by Zhao Qing, and looking at the ironclad Sen Sen outside as a friendly Bai Tu, he couldn't help but tremble a little in his heart, now he was just a hostage.
Zhao Qing said with a smile: "The general is looking at you now, let your people not move, otherwise the knife in Zhao's hand will not be long-sighted." ”
Bai Tu nodded yes.
The bowstring is tight, and the next time it seems that they will shoot all these rebels to death, these people are the army of the general Wang Li, and they do not belong to the Chu family, the original army of Dongjun has been all taken into custody, for them, these troops cannot be allowed to have the slightest disloyalty, because this will easily cause extremely serious consequences.
Both sides are nervous.
"Don't let the arrow go, it's me."
Bai Tu shouted loudly, trembling in his voice.
"It's General White." One of the commanders could see Bai Tu's face clearly by the light in the distance.
"Stop firing arrows."
The general commanded.
Although this is the case, but these Qin soldiers in armor are not the slightest bit relaxed, they look at the dozen or so rebels not far away, they dare not relax in the slightest, although their nominal commander Bai Tu is in the hands of these people, but they themselves are the commander of the general Wang Li, and they are the elite of the Qin army.
Those spears were getting closer and closer, approaching Zhao Qing, Lu Gaoyuan and the others.
Zhao Qing looked at the essence of the blade that was getting closer and closer, and said cautiously: "It seems that the general's power is not enough, and he can't even restrain his own subordinates." ”
The blade in Zhao Qing's hand was a little closer, and Bai Tu's whole body trembled, and he could clearly feel the thick killing intent emanating from the blade.
"Do you want to rebel? Stand down for me. ”
Bai Tu's voice became louder, and the soldiers looked at each other, "If I have anything to do, none of you want to live." ”
Those Qin soldiers finally flinched a little at this time.
Make way in front of them.
Outside the prison, another group of people was quietly ambushing in the dark, leading the team was Zhong Liwu, and the people around him seemed to be extremely measured, with a certain military style, and the loose robes outside them were shining with bright armor, these people were all soldiers, but they were not Qin army but Chu army.
Zhong Liwu looked a little nervous as he looked at Zhao Qing, who was confronting Qin Jun at the door of the prison not far away, holding the long sword in his hand tightly, he looked a little nervous.
On his side, a young general in a red robe who was holding a halberd in his hand walked over and put his hand on Zhong Liwu's shoulder, which made Zhong Liwu a little calm, this person is Long Ji.
"You have really decided, as long as you rescue Lu Gaoyuan, you will follow us to the young master's side."
Zhong Liwu nodded tightly, he now has no way out, because of Chu Nan's relationship, these people who are close to Chu Nan are obviously marked with the sign of the Chu family, and the fate that awaits them is either to be executed or exiled, Zhong Liwu knows this deeply, but what he is worried about now is not his own safety, but Chu Nan, who does not know whether he is alive or dead, for him, Chu Nan is not only his friend, but also his brother, but he has no choice now, taking refuge in Chu is his only way out, and this is also the condition that Long He promised to help.
Seeing that those Qin soldiers let go of a passage, Zhong Liwu breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Qing and Lu Gaoyuan and the rest of the brothers were slowly advancing towards the periphery, their speed was very slow, both sides were highly nervous at this time, they didn't want to cause any misunderstanding, a small move could cause an irreversible situation.
There was silence in the room, and all that could be heard was the sound of swords clashing.
No one could have known that a faint spark in the distance was slowly approaching their ranks, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually reached everyone's ears.
Zhao Qing was vigilant against abnormalities at this time.
The knight dismounted, came to the field, and with the iron scroll in his hand, he looked at the people present and said in a loud voice, "The general has an order to kill without mercy." ”
Killing without forgiveness is killing without forgiveness, including Zhao Qing, including Lu Gaoyuan's rebellion, naturally including Bai Tu, the current Bai Tu is no different from them, and he is just a victim in Wang Li's eyes.
Bai Tu was completely desperate at this time, and even a little paralyzed.
Zhao Qing's reaction was very fast, and when the knight exited, he slammed his knife into the back of Bai Tu's neck, Bai Tu snorted and fell, barely resisting.
Lu Gaoyuan looked at Zhao Qing with some surprise.
"Kill."
Zhong Liwu, who was hidden in the shadows, issued this order, and the soldiers of the Chu State who were lying in ambush around, the arrows in their hands crossed an arc in the air and headed towards the camp of the Qin army, and a dull sound sounded Several Qin soldiers were hit by arrows, and the whole formation was already a little flustered, they didn't know why they were attacked here, after all, they were the elite of a hundred battles.
The commander didn't care about Bai Tu who fell to the ground, he just stared at the ragged Lu Gaoyuan, who was the person the general needed the most at this time, and he had to be a living person.
He calmly ordered, after all, this is the territory of the Qin army, and the Qin army has a large number, in the face of the initial panic, the Qin army has been advancing rapidly, and division and encirclement is the most customary tactic of the Qin army, and it is also the most effective tactic.
Zhao Qing couldn't manage so much at this time, and Lu Gaoyuan was a completely powerless scholar, so protecting him became Zhao Qing's top priority.
Lu Gaoyuan hid behind Zhao Qing, he also knew that he couldn't help much, if he acted rashly, it would bring great trouble to Zhao Qing, he was angry at his identity for the first time at this time, he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy like these soldiers.
Zhong Liwu calmly responded to the battle in the distance, he looked at the Qin army general in armor in the distance, the three feather arrows in his hand were already in his hand, and he let go.
The three feathered arrows were like eyes and headed towards the commander of the Qin army.
The commander reacted unpleasantly, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, breaking one of the attacking feather arrows in half, but there were three feather arrows in total, but at this time he had no chance, and the two feather arrows easily pierced his chest, and the young general fell in disbelief.
