Chapter 256: King Jin is not in the car
From the west to Wuzhou, there is a road sandwiched between two hills.
At this point, we are almost two-thirds of the way through.
After lunch, it was dark early in the winter, and when I walked here, the hills on both sides were sandwiched, and it was even darker.
"General, do you want to light the lantern, it's getting darker and darker ahead."
The soldier who was at the front of the way ran to ask.
Shen Qianwei naturally followed the frame of King Jin on horseback, listened to the report, raised his eyes and looked ahead, and nodded.
"Let the brethren be careful, the road is not easy to walk here."
They are all people who are marching and fighting, and the kind of terrain in front of them is the easiest to set up an ambush, which is known, so the soldier also nodded seriously.
The canyon is not long, and it will pass after walking a stick of incense, because of Shen Qianwei's advice, everyone is very vigilant.
I didn't notice anything unusual in front of me, and when I reached the middle of the canyon, suddenly seven or eight arrows flew rapidly from the hill on the left, straight towards Shen Qianwei's second life.
"The whole army is on alert, there is an ambush!"
Shen Qianwei shouted, immediately drew his sword to block the arrow, and dodged.
And as his voice sounded, arrows rained down on the hills on both sides.
Although the soldiers wore armor and struggled to resist, they could not withstand too many arrows, and suddenly many people fell in one batch.
"Dodge, all spread out, dodge in both directions!"
Shen Qianwei reined in the horse, hiding at the foot of the mountain on the side of the road, while commanding the team.
And before the horseman who was driving for the king of Jin had time to move, he was shot by three or four arrows and fell straight down.
At the same time, countless arrows also shot towards the carriage in which the King of Jin was riding, as if they were going to shoot the chariot into a honeycomb eye.
Shen Qianwei was about to try to rescue, but he didn't expect that at this time, a group of infantry with knives rushed down from the hill, and at the foot of the mountain, the two groups of people were entangled together.
There were archers on the hill, and if they went to the middle, they would be easily shot, and at the foot of the hill there were infantry who pushed them to the exposed position in the middle.
The two rings are calculated, this is not only to take the life of King Jin, but I am afraid I also want to take care of him together.
Shen Qianwei's face was as deep as dark iron, the knife rose and fell, the sound of the blade sinking into the flesh and the shouts of the double battle ignited the anger in his heart more and more.
He slashed at the people around him in a few steps, took two iron marbles from his bosom with one hand, and shot them at the two horses pulling the cart.
Originally, the horse was frightened because of this sudden change, and it was all relying on the basic quality of the war horse to support it without running around, but now it was painful to be hit by marbles, and immediately went crazy, neighing and rushing forward.
"Swear to protect the prince to the death, kill me!"
Shen Qianwei raised his knife and shouted angrily.
When the ambush man on the hill saw the wagon rushing out, he immediately ordered the archers to adjust their targets, chase after the wagon, and wrapped oilcloth around the arrows, lit them and shot them.
For a moment, the carriage of King Jin was like a fireball, burning and speeding in the dim canyon.
And after the archers were transferred, the pressure on Shen Qianwei and the others was much less.
Originally, he was the 300 elite henchmen he picked, not to mention one against ten, with one against five.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the fight suddenly prevailed.
A group of people stayed behind to entangle the enemy infantry, and a group of people followed Shen Qianwei and chased the carriage out of the canyon.
When he saw that he was about to catch up, he suddenly heard a fierce roar from the horse pulling the cart, and then there was a boom, and the carriage was also pulled and overturned to the ground.
The carriage was already on fire, and it could no longer withstand such a violent collision at this moment, and it fell apart when it boarded.
It's just that when a group of killers pounced, they found that there was no King Jin in the damaged frame at all, only a scarecrow about the same size as King Jin and wearing his clothes.
"Kill me!" Shen Qianwei had already caught up, took the lead in riding into the enemy army, and beheaded one person with a sword, "Brothers, catch a few alive, Lao Tzu has a reward!" ”
Now the morale is booming, and for a while, the killing sound is shocking.
The people who were in ambush were already psychologically weak, and the opponents they were facing at the moment were so brave and counterattacked, and they also fell into the trap, and they did not ambush the King of Jin at all, and they were suddenly a little overwhelmed.
Hurriedly fled and retreated.
In a short time, the ambush ended in failure.
After repelling the people, Shen Qianwei dismounted to check the casualties of his men, and then checked the scene to see if there were any key clues missed by the ambush.
Fortunately, there were not many casualties, and they basically didn't react in the sudden rain of arrows at the beginning.
"General, seven or eight live mouths were caught, and the rest were dead, and a lot of weapons were picked up and a tripwire."
His soldiers came to report.
Shen Qianwei glanced at these things coldly, and immediately ordered.
"Leave a team of careful and reliable people, search this place carefully, and the rest of the people will be sorted out immediately, and we will continue to rush to Wuzhou."
Zheng Han took King Jin, disguised as an ordinary soldier, to Wuzhou on a long detour, and he had to answer it.
The soldier answered, and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Shen Qianwei chose to take people and continue to Wuzhou.
In a hurry, it was almost half an hour late.
And half an hour later, Zheng Han also escorted the King of Jin and arrived in Wuzhou by the same route.
"Boss, what's wrong? He came in from the outside and saw a brother wounded. ”
"There's an ambush in the canyon." Shen Qianwei nodded, and looked at King Jin who was a little pale, "Is the prince okay?" ”
King Jin nodded slightly, "Thank you General Xiao Shen, this king will repay this kindness." ”
"The prince is polite, the minister is just following the emperor's orders, the room has been prepared, and the prince can go and rest." Shen Qianwei arched his hand.
These days have endured a lot of hardships, King Jin is indeed physically and mentally exhausted, his vitality is greatly damaged, and he has no strength to talk more, so he is helped down.
As soon as he left, Shen Qianwei immediately went out and walked briskly outside.
"Chief, where are you going?!" Zheng Han asked later.
Shen Qianwei didn't reply, "Go see my Lao Tzu, don't follow, guard the prince for me, don't have an accident!" ”
As the words fell, the silver figure disappeared behind the door.
rode his horse all the way, and after a short time, he arrived at the post station where Shen He was recuperating from his injuries, and rushed directly into Shen He's room without taking off his armor.
"Daddy!"
The door was vigorously pushed open, and Shen He, who was drinking medicine on the bed, was startled, choked on the medicine, and suddenly coughed.
"Ahem, ahem, Lao Tzu, ahem, ahem, haven't died yet, ahem, ahem, I'm scared to death by your rabbit cub first, ahem, ahem."
Holding the medicine bowl in one hand, Shen He coughed and his face turned red.
Shen Qianwei was suddenly a little embarrassed, hurriedly closed the door lightly, walked over to take the medicine bowl, and took the handkerchief on the table to wipe his mouth.
After a while, Shen He came back to his senses, let out a long breath, and then looked at his son.
"Why are you here?"
