Chapter 830: A Fight to the Death
Su Qi'an frowned, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, looking into the distance from time to time, for some reason, his heart was pounding with the passage of time.
Su Fengling on the side saw that Su Qi'an's state was not right, and just wanted to step forward to ask, but the next moment, Su Qi'an seemed to sense something, his steps froze, he hugged Su Fengling, and avoided the courtyard wall, shouting at the same time.
"It's not good, there's an ambush, get out of the way!"
The moment the words fell, in the calm forest around them, countless arrows shot overwhelmingly, and everyone was caught off guard.
The soldiers who came back to their senses immediately hid in the post station, the shield hand stepped forward to cover, the crossbowmen began to counterattack, and the knife and axe hands quickly retreated to Su Qi'an and Su Fengling's side, wanting to cover their retreat from behind.
But this ambush was not only the arrows that were shot from the sky, but at the same time, in the surrounding forests, the sound of hurried footsteps accompanied by some heavy guys slowly approached, and the whole ground shook faintly.
After a while, the trees in the forest let out a wailing sound and collapsed in pieces, and the figures of the security forces appeared, and at the same time, several huge catapults could be seen behind them.
The shaking of the ground just now, not surprisingly, was caused by these big guys.
Eyes swept around, almost all of them were surrounded by the security army, at a glance, there was no end in sight, without waiting for Su Qi'an and them to react, an order, in mid-air, one after another, boulders fell from the sky, wrapped in huge power, and smashed the abandoned post station.
The already dilapidated courtyard wall was quickly smashed out of several large holes, and some crumbling courtyard walls collapsed and shattered at once, and a vacuum area appeared.
The soldiers who were protecting Su Qi'an and Su Fengling immediately rushed out of a part, and they were quick to be regarded as barely blocking the missing defensive zone.
But this kind of defense can't last long at all, and after a long time, they can tear up these hundreds of or so people by not knowing the number of security forces.
This raid was completely unexpected, and it was clear that the mid-lane soldiers who had released the forward scouts to protect the safety around them.
But that's it, I was still beaten by a surprise attack, and when I saw the other party's posture, I made preparations, wanting to trap Su Qi'an and them to death in this abandoned post station in one go.
Su Qi'an, who was hiding under the courtyard wall, flashed his eyes, and constantly commanded everyone around him to fight back, even if there were only about a hundred or so people, he had no intention of surrendering.
Under the command of Su Qi'an, they relied on the abandoned post station, but they barely resisted the onslaught of the security army at the beginning, but everyone could see that the time dragged on, and they were still dead.
Not to mention anything else, the outer courtyards, at most, will be lost, and they must retreat to the post station and continue to fight, which will only make the casualties greater.
It's not that they don't want to retreat, as early as when the raid broke out, Lin Zhi took some of the Fengluan guards and explored the way towards the back of the post station, wanting to take advantage of the opponent's unstable foothold and kill a bloody way.
But this time, it disappointed Lin Zhi, behind the post station, there were also a large number of security forces, even if Lin Zhi and the others were like killing gods, but in the face of absolute strength, they were finally beaten back.
Being able to have such an arrangement is definitely not something that these security forces can think of, it is estimated that there is a master behind him, and this master is likely to be the second king.
Now is not the time for Su Qi'an to speculate, looking at the people who are gradually guarding the hospital, he immediately gave an order.
"Everyone obeys the order, alternately cover and retreat into the station, don't entangle with them, withdraw quickly."
The order was issued, and Su Qi'an and Su Fengling, under the cover of Lin Zhi and others, withdrew into the post station.
Said to be a post station, this post is also very dilapidated, in addition to the front there are defensible houses, the back of the post station, there are basically some holes, which need to be defended by a shield hand.
They naturally thought of this, they would not trouble Su Qi'an, even if they retreated to the post station, it was not a long-term solution, they either fought to the death to see if they could break out of the encirclement, or they were exterminated by these security forces.
With Su Qi'an's evacuation, the people in the courtyard quickly retreated into the post station alternately, and just when everyone was waiting for these security forces to rush into the post station and prepare for the final desperate struggle, suddenly, the menacing offensive momentum just now suddenly stopped.
Seeing Su Qi'an and their retreat into the post station, these security forces stopped fighting and besieged them outside, Su Qi'an was a little surprised, he definitely didn't believe that these security forces had the good intentions to let them go.
Just as Su Qi'an leaned his head against the closed door, looking out through the broken window paper, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Su Qi'an, I didn't expect it, you actually had this day, I didn't expect you and this king to have such a meeting."
It was none other than Sutai, the king of Zhao, one of the two kings.
Su Tai's appearance, Su Qi'an was not surprised, he glanced at it, trying to find something, but after looking at it for a long time, except for Su Tai's figure, he didn't see Su Zhe.
This is somewhat strange, it stands to reason that the cooperation between the two kings has not completely ended, and Su Qi'an will be surrounded here again, such a big event, Su Zhe should not appear.
Even if he didn't see Su Qi'an's figure, Su Tai's thoughts, Su Tai seemed to be able to guess, and he continued with a smile.
"Su Qi'an, don't worry, this time there is only this king who is chasing you, as for the second brother, he naturally led someone to hunt down the sixth brother, after all, the two of you committed such a big crime, and the chief rebel and thief who murdered your father, just let you run away, aren't you just slapping this king in the face?"
"It's a good plan to divide a few hundred people into several teams and turn the forbidden army team around, but after dealing with you for so long, wouldn't it be too wasteful if this king doesn't have a long memory."
"Su Qi'an, just grab it, if you can't run this time, just rely on your hundred or ten people, if you want to highlight the encirclement of two or three thousand security forces, do you think it's possible?"
"If you surrender obediently, this king can keep your whole body for the sake of the ninth sister's face, otherwise, don't blame this king for being ruthless."
Su Tai's voice was cold, he was completely full of a look in his chest, in order to be able to catch Su Qi'an this time, he made great efforts, not only mobilized 3,000 security troops to hunt, but also used siege weapons such as catapults, and even drew half of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, in order to catch Su Qi'an.
He has already discussed with Su Zhe, he will arrest Su Qi'an, and Su Zhe will arrest Su Kang to see who can catch the other party, which can be regarded as the first contest between the two kings.
Now Su Qi'an's side, there are only a hundred people who can be used, and his direct team is restrained by the forbidden army and cannot be rescued for the time being, as for the forward scouts sent out before and the middle route army to protect the safety of the surroundings, they are also trapped by the dead soldiers in his house.
This is also the reason why the soldiers who dispersed could not be warned in advance, the security army is not better than the dead, they are all a group of masters of the rivers and lakes, in terms of concealment, investigation, and counter-investigation, they are a good hand, and their strength is not bad.
Of course, if they are surrounded by a large number of troops, these dead soldiers will basically be exterminated, and no matter how strong the masters of the rivers and lakes are, they will be vulnerable in the face of the army with mutual experience and cooperation.
But Su Qi'an's scattered manpower is only 200 people, and this amount of troops, in the face of the same hundreds of dead soldiers, can be said to be evenly matched, and it is difficult to exterminate them.
This time, Su Tai made a bloody effort to send all the last batch of dead soldiers in his house, in order to be able to catch Su Qi'an, as long as Su Qi'an is caught, even if there are more dead soldiers, it is worth it.
As Su Kang's words fell, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion beside him also rushed out, lined up, holding muskets, aiming at the post station in front of them.
As long as an order is given, not to mention beating the people of the post station into a sieve, but at least they can be suppressed and can't be lifted, if they don't come out to surrender, Su Tai will not be soft, and will order to set fire to Su Qi'an, even if there is his own sister Su Fengling in it, Su Tai will not be soft.
In the face of right and wrong, the so-called family affection is just a joke, Su Zhe dared to commit a crime and killed his father, and Su Tai also dared to burn his sister to death.
This is the ruthlessness of the two kings, in front of the imperial power, everything is floating clouds.
Time passed minute by minute, Su Tai didn't have much time to think about Su Qi'an, only a stick of incense, if there was no movement, he would directly set fire to the post station without saying a word.
At this time, Su Qi'an, who was in the post station, had a solemn face, this time should be the time when he fell into the biggest crisis, he made a thousand calculations, but after all, he undercounted.
He underestimated the two kings too much, and he had dealt with the two kings for so long, he forgot that he was growing, and the two kings were also growing.
Eaten deflated in his hands again and again, how can there be any reason not to grow, he is the only prince of Da Liang, it is impossible to be played by Su Qi'an again and again, this time he made a mistake.
One mistake in exchange for a fatal result.
But now is not the time to reflect, it is impossible to make Su Qi'an surrender, he would rather die than fight hard to break out of the encirclement, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he has to do it.
Su Qi'an's eyes flashed, and he said to Su Fengling and Lin Zhidao beside him, "This time I judged that I underestimated the second king, Su Tai wanted me, I will communicate with Su Tai later, and when the time comes, you will immediately stand out from the backyard." ”
"This is the Heavenly Thunder Bead, Uncle Lin, you should know how to use it, with it, you will have a better chance of breaking out of the encirclement, and I will lead the An team to rush out of the post station and buy time for you..."
Before Su Qi'an finished speaking, Su Fengling and Lin Zhi shook their heads again and again, full of disagreement.
"King Yongchuan, what are you talking about, you come to cover us, isn't this a slap in the face, how can there be a reason for the king to cover his subordinates."
"You and Your Highness are alive, it is the most important thing, as long as you live, there is hope for Da Liang, what is our life and death."
"The situation is urgent, needless to say, everyone obeys my orders, and then Feng Luanwei will follow me to break out of the encirclement from the front, and the Long Wei and An team will immediately cover the withdrawal of King Yongchuan and His Royal Highness from the back, at all costs, do you understand?"
"I'll get it."
"We will swear to protect the King of Yongchuan and the Ninth Princess."
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
This time, without waiting for Su Fengling to say anything, Lin Zhi turned against the guest and gave an order to the soldiers around him, everyone had no complaints, all of them looked excited, ready to die at any time, and replied in a low voice.
