When the paddlers on the official ship tried their best to turn the official ship around, there were changes on the battlefield.

On Xu Shouren's order, the wooden boat on which the 100 Ming Kingdom guards who had been guarding them all the way a few miles away arrived at the wooden boat.

From a distance, they saw that the official ship was attacked and caught fire, and immediately accelerated to the rescue.

But at this time, seeing that the official ship had turned around, this group of Ming guards immediately turned the wooden boat and sailed to the shore of the south bank.

Their intention is very simple, the official ship can be supported for the time being, so defeating the ambushers on the cliff is the real countermeasure to rescue the official ship.

Gao Zhiping, who was far away from the cliff and watching, saw this sudden situation, he didn't realize that the people who came to the rescue would be from the Ming Kingdom, but thought that these hundred or so people were just another group of escorts sent by Duan Sicong.

Gao Zhiping saw that the number of people who came was not large, only a hundred people, and there were still more than a dozen followers in his hands, Gao Zhiping did not mean to block, but followed behind the hundreds of Ming State guards, and climbed to the cliff together.

When Gao Zhiping planned to fight on the cliff, he ordered more than a dozen followers to attack the escorts from behind, and after annihilating them in one fell swoop, he would attack the official ship.

Even if the official ship ignored it after turning and fled directly, Gao Zhiping was not worried, because the real ambush was in Rongzhou, sixty miles away.

After this assassination, the official ship had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, and it was the time when the vigilance was the most lax, so the ambush in Rongzhou would unfold seamlessly.

Thinking of this, the corner of the handsome Gao Zhiping's mouth showed a smug smile.

Indeed, it is possible to arrange an assassination to such an extent. Gao Zhiping has capital that he can be proud of.

Gao Zhiping was not worried about the ambushers on the cliff, there were two hundred people on it, and the guards who rushed into the cliff were only a hundred.

If you can't beat two or one. Then let them die. This is the most intuitive idea in Gao Zhiping's heart.

As long as the two sides enter into a fight, then the sudden attack launched by Gao Zhiping's more than ten followers behind the guards will draw a happy ending to this battle.

The guards of the Ming Kingdom rushed very quickly, and the cliff at the end of the ten zhang rushed to the ambusher with only one pillar of incense.

The rapid charge of 100 people could not be unnoticed by the ambushers, who had already prepared them. In a condescending posture, three rounds of shooting were carried out at the Ming guards with bows and crossbows.

The Ming guards only approached the ambushers, and the price they paid was twenty-one lives. Not counting the six wounded.

Gao Zhiping, who secretly followed behind, smiled knowingly.

Because if this continues, even if they are close, the number of opponents on both sides will be two hundred to seventy-three. It's the equivalent of three to one. What's more, he has more than a dozen followers to press the formation.

Victory was almost foregone.

But Gao Zhiping didn't expect that this group of rescuers was not sent by Gao Sicong, but from the Ming Kingdom in the east.

Although these guards are not enough, they are enough to be able to sway, and they are enough to be able to do thistle

That's grenades and powder packets.

These two things have even become the symbol of the Ming army, and it is indispensable in any battle.

So, when Gao Zhiping was complacent. At the cost of the lives of their companions, the Ming guards had quickly approached within five feet of the ambushers.

This distance is a moat in the minds of the ambushers. The condescending bow and crossbow arrow is undoubtedly the scythe of death for those from below.

And this distance for the upward rusher, there is a kind of powerless taste, even if the bow is raised and shot up, it will hardly produce much damage to those who are condescending and waiting for work, and besides, when raising the bow and crossbow to shoot upward, he is likely to become a live target for those crossbowmen on the head.

The ambushers, like Gao Zhiping, did not expect Akito to be involved in this incident.

In their hearts, as long as the princess and the envoy group have not arrived at Jinling Mansion, as long as the Duan clan and the Ming kingdom have not negotiated the conditions, then the Duan clan and the Gao clan are still in a state of equal opportunity.

None of them could have imagined that the Ming Dynasty would pull a bias.

In fact, Xu Shouren and Bai Likang didn't want to pull the strings, but their responsibilities were there, and before the emperor explicitly rejected Dali's proposal, the two could only put the safety of the princess and the envoy group above everything.

In the hearts of the two, if Da Lang agrees to Duan Sicong's mention, then Duan Foyin will be the imperial concubine of the Ming Kingdom, which is an invisible duty for Xu Shouren and the others.

Therefore, before this premise, no matter who dares to be unfavorable to Duan Foyin, these hundred guards will kill him with all their might.

The so-called killing the Buddha when encountering the Buddha, killing the gods when encountering the gods, this is the case.

The order Xu Shouren gave them was to escort Duan Foyin and the others to Jinling Mansion safely, and as for the rest of the matter, it was naturally up to Baili Wuji to make a decision.

And in the order given by Xu Shouren, the priority is also very clear, Duan Foyin's life and death are above the envoy group, which means that as long as Duan Foyin is okay, the entire envoy group will be wiped out, and the task will be completed.

This is also the reason why the guards of the Ming Kingdom saw that the two official ships were temporarily unharmed, and turned their heads to attack on the cliff regardless of Yiqiē first.

As long as the ambushers on the cliff are solved, there is no danger to the official ship on the face.

After paying the price of twenty-seven casualties, the Ming guards quickly approached the enemy's five zhang, in fact, this distance should have been larger, but throwing from the bottom to the top, after all, is not as easy as throwing on the flat ground.

In order to catch the enemy by surprise, the guards resisted and shortened the distance to five zhang.

At this time, dozens of grenades were thrown suddenly, and the result of the explosion on the narrow cliff platform is predictable.

Dozens of grenade explosions didn't kill everyone, but because of the explosions, at least dozens of people fell off the cliff like dumplings.

On the small wooden boat on the way, Duan Foyin saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

She had already guessed the identity of the group of people who came to the rescue, and she couldn't help but feel a little warm in her heart, but at the same time, she was also cold.

Duan Foyin was secretly glad that his father had made the right decision, the people of the Ming Kingdom had infiltrated so many people in Dali, just with the ruthlessness of rescuing him and this kind of firearm at the moment, the Dali army was as weak as sheep in front of them.

Thinking of this, Duan Foyin was even more determined to go to Jinling Mansion regardless of Yiqiē.

In this era, only by hitting a strong enough backer can the Duan clan be able to multiply and prosper.

For this, Duan Foyin could pay a price, even if it was at the cost of her and her sister's lives, not to mention those soldiers who should have died in the line of duty.

Thinking of this, Duan Foyin began to urge the hired boatman to speed up. (To be continued......)
