Chapter 080: Ambush
The prince has long heard that Guo Wei's second son, named Guo Xing, is a general in the right camp of Jin Wuwei and a general in Wupin.
This person in front of him is full of might, and he is worthy of being the queen of the god of war.
"General Guo, why are you in the grain market?" Yuan Ze asked.
"Back to His Royal Highness Gongzi, this area is the right camp defense area of Jinwuwei, and today is also the first day of the reopening of the disaster relief grain market, so the last general will lead the team to come in person, for fear that there will be riots or riots by the disaster mob."
Guo Xingxing reported his life.
Yuan Zhi also stood up and said to Guo Xing:
"During the grain market disaster relief, the imperial court repeatedly ordered that merchants were not allowed to hoard and raise prices, but this son found that the private trading houses in this grain market, the granary official grain store, and the major grain stores controlled by the Xiao family all blatantly disobeyed the prince's decree and committed a crime against the wind.
"The last general obeys the order, but those few will not be familiar with the last general."
"Don't worry, this is Lord Zheng Shaoqiu, the deacon of the grain market, let him give you guidance, and you are responsible for arresting, understand?"
"But what if anyone resists?" Of course, Guo Xing knows that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers here, and there are many outlaws on the rivers and lakes.
"Resist?" Yuan Zhi grinned and snorted: "Kill all of them, understand?" ”
"The last general understands now." Guo Xing clenched his fists and took his life.
Yuan Zhi turned to Zheng Shaoqiu and said: "Lord Zheng, the matter of governing and rectifying the grain market will be handed over to you with full authority, and I will arrange for General Guo to assist you, and my son will only look at the results, eradicate all those black sheep, and return a clear sky to the grain market, understand?" ”
"Xia Guan understands, please rest assured that Yuan Gongzi." Zheng Shaoqiu promised.
"Okay, my son still has something to do, so I'll leave first."
After saying that, Yuan Zhilong left the store in a hurry, stepped on the snow dragon horse prepared for him at the door, and left majestically.
This is completely in line with his kingly momentum.
Behind him, there was a look of astonishment and puzzled eyes.
Only Guo Xing and Zheng Shaoqiu know it.
……
Coming out of the grain market, two hours have passed at noon, and the sun is thinning.
"Ding Jiu, where is this?"
Yuan Zhi felt that his belly was empty, and then he remembered that he didn't even have time to eat lunch.
"Your Highness, there is Shuanglong Town in front, there is a very good restaurant here, we can enter the town to rest and eat together."
Ding Jiu's belly also kept singing 'Empty City Plan', and he put forward a rationalization proposal.
"Okay, let's go to Shuanglong Town to take a rest and eat." Yuan Zhi didn't think about it, and nodded in agreement.
Ding Jiu immediately ordered two guards to enter the town as soon as possible, and he led the rest of the guards to escort the prince, slowing down and walking towards the entrance of the town.
There is a bamboo forest in front of the entrance of the town, and there are many graves piled up in it, which should be the cemetery of this town.
Bamboo forests and large and small tombs obscured the field of vision, and several knights who were exploring the path in front suddenly stopped.
Yuan Zhi suddenly felt a little strange, "What's the matter, Ding Jiu?" ”
"Your Highness, I don't feel good, it seems that someone is watching us." Ding Jiu pointed to the bamboo forest cemetery in front of him and replied intently.
Jiang Wulang on the other side simply pulled out the Thousand Cow Knife and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, I feel the same way. ”
Yuan Zhi's heart tightened suddenly, Ding Jiu and the others were all warriors who came from the shadow of the sword and sword, and they always had a natural intuition about danger.
"Stand back!" Yuan Zhi said softly.
Then, as soon as his words fell, a voice came from the air that was extremely familiar and terrifying to the Thousand Niu Guards.
"Crossbow! Childe dismounted..."
Ding Jiu exclaimed, and then without thinking, he hugged the crown prince, pulled it violently, and fell off the horse sideways.
Almost at the same time, the bolt of the crossbow, as thick as a baby's arm, swished... Passing before their eyes.
The two guards who were in front of the prince's mount were shot head-on by the crossbow, screaming, and their bodies were shot out and nailed to the ground.
The guard's chest was pierced by a strong crossbow, and the blood flowed profusely, and he did not move after a few convulsions.
"Protect Your Highness!"
Jiang Wulang shouted, and he pulled out his horse and rushed towards the bamboo cemetery.
And the guards beside the crown prince instantly formed two human walls, firmly blocking Yuan Zhi behind him.
The enemy was in the west, and the sunlight just pierced the eyes of Ding Jiu and his guards, and it was difficult to spot the enemy hidden behind the grave.
But the sound of a strong crossbow sounded again.
Ding Jiu immediately made a decision and shouted:
"Everybody rush up and stop the crossbow from firing."
As soon as the guards heard Ding Jiu's order, they jumped up without thinking, followed behind Jiang Wulang, and scattered and rushed forward.
At this time, there were only Ding Jiu and another guard Ma Ben by the prince's side, and Yuan Zhi subconsciously pulled out his portable sword, wanting to stand up and rush out.
But as soon as his body tightened, he was firmly pressed to the ground by Ding Jiu, "Your Highness can't move, the strong crossbow has been aiming here, crawling back, slowly." ”
Sure enough, there was a strange sound in the air, and crossbow arrows were constantly flying towards them.
The person who plotted against himself, with a poisonous heart, actually used a militaristic weapon like a crossbow.
The end of the Jin Dynasty strictly forbade the private possession of armor bows and crossbows, and there were also regulations for ordinary bows and arrows, and it was forbidden to carry more than one stone bow.
And the crossbow arrows are extremely powerful at short distances, and there is no way for men and horses to dodge, and it is really invincible to use them for assassination.
The Qianniuwei who were caught off guard by arrows fell one after another, and Yuan Zhi hated it in his heart.
Where did you think that if you were in the capital, you would be assassinated by such a high intensity.
If Qianniuwei was not traveling in plain clothes, but with gold armor on his body, although he would inevitably be injured in the face of the crossbow, it would always be possible to save his life.
But now they are only wearing thin clothes, and once they are hit by crossbow arrows, the wound is very large, no matter which part, it is penetrated, and people bleed to death.
In ancient times, there was no such thing as blood transfusion.
Jiang Wulang was extremely brave, with a crossbow in his shoulder and left arm, and half of his body was stained red with blood.
Fortunately, the injury was superficial, and he cut off the arrow with a knife, and actually shouted the dancing knife forward.
Behind him, the Qianniu guards were also riding their horses and struggling forward.
But the killers hid behind the grave, and Jiang Wulang was very passive, riding on a tall horse and holding a crossbow, but it was difficult to find the target.
Just when Ding Jiu and their secret words were not good, there was a sound of a strong bow breaking through the air with a swishing sound in the forest, and a porphyry sound of a knife cutting into the flesh.
For a while, there were screams in the cemetery, mixed with the heavy sound of human bodies falling to the ground.
"Your Highness, it seems that our help is coming, I don't know which side it is?" Ding Jiu said happily.
He made the right judgment in a timely manner.
The dense crossbow arrows that were originally shot at Yuan Zhi's side were instantly leaked.
Jiang Wulang and other Qianniuwei also seized this rare opportunity and rode their horses into it.
These Thousand Bull Guards who came down from the battlefield finally showed their ability to seize every opportunity.
The knife entered the flesh, there was a scream, and the ambushers were killed and crushed under the combined siege of Qianniuwei and the helpers, and their souls were scattered, and they turned around and fled with a whistle.
"Where to run!"
I saw the shadows of the secret guards in the forest, and they raised their bows and swords to surround the enemy.
