Chapter 404: Night Attack
The last time Chu Yun had this idea was many years ago, when he went to Yanmen Pass in the north to serve in the army, and he brought two guards with him. Sure enough, he was besieged by bandits. One of the two guards died to save Chu Yun, and the other passed the news to Chu Yun, but they still cut themselves.
Chu Yun was still secretly swearing in his heart at that time that he would avenge them.
Chu Yun hadn't forgotten this, but when he returned to the capital, he passed by that area and asked the Shadow Guard to investigate, only to learn that the bandits did exist, but they were eliminated by a mysterious force a few years ago.
Therefore, Chu Yun still failed to personally avenge the guards of the year. Whether what happened back then was a coincidence or deliberate, Chu Yun couldn't figure it out. If it was a coincidence, it would be too weird, but if it was deliberate, Chu Yun couldn't imagine that someone would be planning to deal with him at that time.
However, now that time has passed, Chu Yun will no longer have such an embarrassing moment, just like now, Chu Yun is in the escort of the army in front of him, how can any bandit dare to attack such a team?
Chu Yun was thinking like this, when he suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, and then, he heard a rumbling sound.
The horses reacted the fastest, but the quick reaction did not lead to good results, many of the horses were frightened, and the horses were about to run away, and the groom tried to pull, but it still caused a commotion in the team.
Chu Yun knew that this might be a sudden earthquake, although it was not the same world, but many places had similarities, Chu Yun felt that this southwest might also be a zone with relatively active plates, otherwise there would not be so many mountains, so they should have just encountered an earthquake brought about by plate movement.
At this time, the team needed a backbone, and Chu Yun immediately shouted loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, stand in place and protect yourself from running around." ”
Chu Yun was almost hoarse, and his voice could be heard so far, but it was finally heard by the people who were closer, and it also calmed them down, Chu Yun appealed: "Everyone shout with me, don't let the people outside run around, so as not to hurt anyone in the chaos." ”
They are now in the valley, and now that the weather is fine, don't worry too much about landslides, but be careful of the rocks on the mountain caused by the earthquake, but what is more deadly is chaos, and if there is a stampede in the chaos, it may cause more casualties.
Fortunately, Chu Yun stabilized the crowd as quickly as possible, and after shaking the mountain for a while, many of the gravel on the mountain rolled down, but it didn't cause too much damage to the team.
It's just that everyone is not in a good mood when they are so troubled.
The ancients did not know that earthquakes were normal geological movements, and in this era, earthquakes were called earth dragon turnover, and earth dragon turn over usually represents ominous. Generally speaking, at this time, the emperor will begin to ask the heavens for sin, which is the edict of sin.
However, the current emperor has always been known for his benevolence, and during his reign, he was also diligent and diligent, and no one said a bad word about Xuande, whether it was in the court or among the people.
Well, if you want to say it, the premise is that you have the guts.
Chu Yun's side suffered an earthquake, and for the time being, it will not involve those political influences in the capital, but the people who accompanied him, so they have to think about it more.
In all dynasties, at most, princesses have married far away, and no prince has ever gone abroad to marry, and their wedding team has encountered such a thing, so they will naturally associate this earthquake with this.
Chu Yun was the most calm person, and after asking the Seventh Prince for instructions, he asked the team to continue to set off. Chu Yun could see that people's hearts were fluctuating, but it was necessary to hurry, now they were in the valley, there was no suitable place to camp, if it rained heavily at night, they would all have to be cold.
But today it seems that everything is not going well, the team continued to travel not far, the road was blocked by gravel, Chu Yun had to arrange someone to clean the road, this toss, the sky gradually darkened.
Fortunately, Chu Yunguan's celestial phenomena today should not rain. In desperation, he could only set up camp in the valley.
At this time, Chu Yun finally felt a little uneasy. Maybe it was the pressure of the past few days that broke out after encountering all kinds of difficulties today, or the mysterious sense of crisis, Chu Yun was a little difficult to calm down.
It stands to reason that wearing a bright headband shouldn't be like this.
But what Chu Yun could do was also very limited, so he could only tell General Yan to be careful. Fortunately, in the eyes of General Yan, today's incident was originally an ominous sign, so there was no need for Chu Yun to move his lips and tongue, and General Yan agreed.
The stars sank and the moon set, and Chu Yun, who was asleep, suddenly heard the sound of the zhengzheng qin, and Chu Yun immediately woke up, but the sound of the qin disappeared immediately, as if he had a dream.
He slept in a kimono at night, and when he woke up suddenly, he no longer felt sleepy. The night was a little weirdly quiet, Chu Yun only heard the insects chirping in the summer night, so quiet, but it made people a little panicked, Chu Yun put on his shoes and walked out of the tent.
But suddenly, Chu Yun heard a sound of neat footsteps, clearly coming from the mountainsides on both sides.
Could it be that there is really an enemy attack?
Thinking of this, Chu Yun also exploded, they are now camped in the valley, if there are thieves who arrange rolling stones on the mountainside, they will definitely suffer heavy losses. In this valley, it is not impossible for thousands of people to be annihilated by hundreds.
Chu Yun knew that he couldn't wait, and he had to go to General Yan.
Without waiting for Chu Yun to find him, the military camp had already reacted, the night watchmen were not negligent in their duties, and they quickly discovered that something was wrong, and even shouted loudly: "Be careful of enemy attacks!" ”
For a while, the silent night suddenly became lively, and the people in their sleep woke up, but a large group of black-clothed and masked thieves with big knives had already been killed, and General Yan led the soldiers to fight with the other party, but what Chu Yun was most worried about still happened,
There was a rumbling sound on the mountain, which was the same as during the day, and Chu Yun even suspected that it was not an earthquake at all during the day, but that these people were making traps.
But where did these thieves come from, how could they be so tigers, and you still have teammates?
This question only turned in Chu Yun's mind for a moment, and Chu Yun immediately understood, where is this thief, it is clearly an assassin who is coming for the Seventh Prince!
Would the bandits dare to come to trouble the clear-cut army? Impossible!
It is only possible that they knew the news that the Seven Princes were passing by here, and they came to kill them. Moreover, in this team, there are not only the Seven Princes, if something happens here......
The friendly diplomatic relations between Great Xia and Xichuan are definitely about to crack!
Chu Yun no longer hesitated, although the number of black-clothed men was now smaller than the army, Chu Yun still shouted urgently: "General Yan, the enemy's origin is unknown, hurry up and protect the King of Shu and the princess to retreat!" ”
Chu Yun's words were very concisely issued and explained, otherwise the other party would not understand, and if Chu Yun had to explain, he would have to waste time again. A sentence that comes from an unknown source can be understood quickly. Therefore, after hearing Chu Yun's shout, General Yan immediately decided to protect the retreat of the Seventh Prince.
The combined force of Great Xia and Xichuan exceeded two thousand people, but they were chased by thieves with less than a hundred people, this was probably the most humiliating battle in the lives of the generals of both sides, but this was also something that could not be helped, Chu Yun didn't need to say more, they all understood.
Everyone else can die, but Princess Xichuan and the Seventh Prince must not have an accident.
Of course, the team did not only flee, but also some of the people were separated to fight the thieves to the death, and most of them fled with the team in panic.
The most troublesome are the Seven Princes and Li Xiuli. Even if they run away, they are very personable and want to sit on the Luan car.
The rolling stones on the mountain have come down, and you are still sitting in a sedan chair? Chu Yun also had a headache, he took the lead, riding his horse and walking in the front, fortunately, the road had been cleared during the day, otherwise it would be difficult to escape.
But he didn't run far, and a bunch of black-clothed people were killed in the mountains and forests again, and this time the ambush was a little caught off guard, it turned out that the night attack was only the first attack, and the retreat route of Chu Yun and the others was the second line of defense.
Without a little defense, the team's losses were very large, although the enemy was fighting more with less, but Chu Yun's team's every move was in the other party's calculations, and at this time, it was a bit of an invincibility.
Chu Yun was the fastest runner, and seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ran to the side of the Seventh Prince and pulled the Seventh Prince out of Luan.
Let him sit in a sedan chair again, and he will not be wronged if he dies.
was calculated by the opponent, and he didn't know who the opponent was, this situation was undoubtedly very dangerous, Chu Yun protected the Seventh Prince, and Li Xiuli on the other side also had guards to take her off Luan.
The soldiers were very loyal, and they were completely engaged with the Assassins, and did not give any of the Assassins a chance to hurt the two bosses.
So now do you continue to leave some people to fight against the Assassins and run away on your own, or do you stop running away and concentrate your forces to encircle and suppress these Assassins?
With the experience of being ambushed this time, Chu Yun was naturally worried about the road behind, and there were ambushes, so if Chu Yun scattered his forces too much, it would be easy for him to be killed by the enemy.
But if they stay and fight with the place, the lives of the Seven Princes and Li Xiuli will not be guaranteed. Obviously, there is still a group of people on the mountain, who have already set up the Rolling Stone Trap, and they are still in the mountain trail, and they have not escaped the attack range.
Chu Yun thought so, and the rumble on the mountain sounded again, but those assassins were not afraid of death.
Chu Yun knew that this was a conspiracy of the Yang, forcing him to leave people behind to fight these assassins.
The Seventh Prince looked at Chu Yun, obviously also regarded Chu Yun as the backbone, Chu Yun knew that he was now in the applause of others, but he had no choice but to order to continue to retreat for the sake of Li Xiuli and the Seventh Prince's life.
Originally, this order should have been issued by the Seventh Prince, or General Yan, and they didn't know when Chu Yun would take over, but now they were all waiting for Chu Yun's dispatch.
Chu Yun ordered a retreat, while General Yan continued to control the team, leaving a small team behind and the large army continuing to leave.
By the way, those who stayed before were all soldiers from Great Xia, and the soldiers from Xichuan did not stay.
They hugged their thighs in a posture, whether they were going to stay or staying, and they were all listening to the dispatch of Daxia's side. Chu Yun frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
In order to avoid the rolling stones, they still traveled very fast, but this time, Chu Yun opened his titanium alloy dog eyes wide and acted as a pathfinder in front.
At this time, the invisible wings that Chu Yun had been ignoring finally had its most suitable use, this thing was used to explore the way, and the ambushes on both sides of the mountain road were naturally nowhere to hide, but after a long time of hanging, Chu Yun's spirit was also very tired, but this time, the enemy's second ambush was going to be ambushed by Chu Yun!
Seeing the other party's position, Chu Yun didn't bother to explain, he directly picked up the bow and arrow from the horse, bent the bow and arrows, and shot towards the place where the ambush soldiers were hiding.
Using the signal flare as a flashbang, Chu Yun was already very experienced, and this bow and arrow was also quietly placed on the horse's back by Chu Yun before taking advantage of people's inattention.
When the people of Xichuan were still surprised by what kind of black technology the arrows shot by Chu Yun were, the people of Great Xia had already rushed towards the assassins who had already flashed their blind eyes under Chu Yun's command.
This is the consequence of having a vision in the grass, and these ambushes were naturally all killed, but the soldiers of Great Xia also had some damage.
But the small victory at this time also greatly boosted the morale of the Great Xia army, and they could finally slow down and no longer have to run away.
But the roar of the mountain was urging them to flee. I don't know how many ambushes the enemy has arranged, but there are not a few people who have set traps on the mountain, so many people, which side is the force!
The names of some people were swept out just now, and they were all from Great Xia, but it could also be from Xichuan, and the names of people from Xichuan were the same as those of Great Xia, and all the assassins were yellow names, obviously from the neutral camp, and this camp could be from Great Xia or Xichuan.
It's funny to say, this actually excludes the forces that Chu Yun thinks are the most likely. Chu Yun felt that destroying the relationship between Great Xia and Xichuan was the most beneficial to the Yan Kingdom, especially now that the north and the Yan Kingdom were still at war, it was normal for the Yan Kingdom to find some trouble for Great Xia at this time.
But this is not what Yan Guo did.
Chu Yun just took advantage of the fact that his friend was killing the enemy and went to pick up the arrow back. There are only three arrows in total, and one that was shot in Tongguan before was not picked up, and now there are only two left, and it is not possible to use them without saving them.
This process is not difficult, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow is like a light in the dark night to Chu Yun, and it is easy to find.
After running away for a while, Chu Yun once again drove the little butterfly who was exploring the way, and now his spirit was a little unbearable, if it weren't for the bright heart headband on his head, it was estimated that he would faint directly.
But Chu Yun also knew that this was the last time he would use this today, and the Mingxin headband just didn't make him unconscious, it didn't mean that he wouldn't get tired.
But after running for a long time, Chu Yun didn't find out where the next wave of ambushes was.
Could it be that the other party only left two waves of ambushes?
