Chapter 41: Preemptive Strike
The peasants outside were hustle and bustle, some standing still, some secretly retreating, and others with grief and indignation on their faces, not only did not retreat, but took a few steps forward.
The man said loudly again: "Everyone, hold steady! Steady! Just remember a word! If you go back, you will die!"
Huang Quan looked at the man and sighed: "It seems that he almost shouted that he would die and pull Prince Gong to carry such words." This man still had the wish that Prince Gong would agree to their request. ”
Ling Ye snorted, his gaze cold.
Looking at Prince Gong's fat brain, is it possible to agree to this group of peasants?
Obviously impossible.
Huang Quan seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking to Ling Ye, and said slowly: "If no one told them that Prince Gong would be here this morning, how could this group of peasants come here so many times?"
Ling Ye thought the same thing in his heart. Behind this group of peasants, there are obviously people who instigate them, and there are people who can spy on Prince Gong's news. This is not necessarily something that these farmers can do on their own.
Who is it that instigated them, and where is it at this moment?
Huang Quan seemed to be talking to himself: "I guess the people who instigated these peasants are hiding in the crowd and will not stand idly by, otherwise they will not be able to do it again in the future." ”
He sighed, and said slowly: "Ling Ye, remember a truth, strike later, strike first!"
Ling Ye's heart couldn't help but sink. Huang Quan obviously saw his intention to stop Prince Gong, so he specially reminded him.
If Prince Gong hadn't given the order to release the arrows, Ling Ye would have already stopped it, then Prince Gong would have been able to justify afterwards that he was just deliberately scaring those peasants, and Ling Ye was maliciously attacking the Imperial Prince, so it would not be easy to do it then.
But what if we wait until Prince Gong gives the order to release the arrows, then there will definitely be many dead and wounded.
Huang Quan said: "Only by keeping yourself can you keep others." Midnight, you must remember!"
Ling Ye's heart sank a little more. He himself understands this truth. Just looking at it in front of you, it will be a bloody truth.
Strike first, or strike last?
Over there, Prince Gong laughed a few times, and said in a weird manner: "You Diao people, it seems that you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Three! Shoot the arrows!"
Ling Ye was already prepared, and when he saw that the archers on the arrow tower here were really about to release their arrows, he immediately pushed his hands to the left and right. The archers on the tower were about to let go of their arrows, but when he pushed them like this, they all staggered to the side, and all the bows and arrows that were shot out were missing, and did not fall into the peasants outside.
But there was not only one arrow tower here, the arrows fired by the crossbowmen on the other arrow towers fell accurately among the peasants outside, and suddenly there was a scream and shout, and at least a dozen people fell, blood splattered on their bodies.
There was a shout from the peasants, and many immediately turned around, spread their legs and ran. The man before said loudly: "Don't run, don't run! they have already shot arrows at us, so don't think so much, fight with them!"
Several people in the crowd also shouted: "Don't run! Fight with them! Death on the left and right, it's better to fight with them, it's worth dying like that!"
Encouraged by them, many peasants rushed towards the gate and fence of the school yard with a hoe and a shout. It's just that the barracks gates and fences of the barracks are so easy to attack? The large crowd of peasants huddled outside and could not get in for a while, so they could only smash and beat with their hoes desperately.
When Prince Gong saw this momentum, his face couldn't help but change color a little, and then he shouted: "Shoot arrows! Shoot these thieves! Prepare rockets in the back and burn them to death in the ......."
Before he finished speaking, his body was suddenly thrown down, and at the same time, a scream came from his ears. Prince Gong struggled a few times, and finally saw clearly that it was an entourage that had fallen him, with a feathered arrow stuck in his back, and the tail of the arrow was shaking freely.
Prince Gong was taken aback, and when he looked again, he saw a young man holding a bow and arrow in his hand on another arrow tower, looking at him coldly.
It's midnight again!
At this time, Ling Ye had already thrown down all the archers on the same arrow tower, grabbed a pair of bows and arrows, and shot them at Prince Gong with full bows. I didn't expect this dog king to have such a loyal guard, and sacrificed his life to knock down Prince Gong and save his life.
Huang Quan pretended to fall on the arrow tower at this time, and sighed slightly: "Ling Ye, we are all going to be affected by you......"
Ling Ye snorted, bent his bow and arrows again, and shouted, "Prince Gong, look at the arrows!" and with a whooshing arrow, he shot a crossbowman who was shooting arrows to death. When the crossbowman fell, he fell right in front of Prince Gong, and blood splattered his face.
Prince Gong was furious, threw the things that Ling Ye had helped him out of the clouds, and shouted, "Go!
His entourage agreed loudly, drew their swords one after another, jumped off the arrow tower, and rushed towards the arrow tower on the other side of the night. They did not go up to the tower, but stood at the foot of the tower and struck the foot of the pillar at the bottom of the tower with their swords. As soon as the foot of the pillar is broken, the arrow tower will naturally collapse.
Ling Ye snorted, dropped the bow and arrow, and the man jumped down from the arrow tower, landed steadily beside an attendant, snatched the knife from his hand with his right hand, and then flew up and kicked him away.
The entourage immediately threw away the foot of the pillar and rushed towards Ling Ye together. Ling Ye didn't entangle with them, and directly rushed to the arrow tower where Prince Gong was, and slashed at the foot of a pillar. His strength was much greater than that of those followers, and when the knife went down, the foot of the pillar was directly cut out of a big hole, and the arrow tower trembled.
Prince Gong was so frightened that he shouted, "Hack him, hack him!"
Those few relatives all chased after him, waving their knives and beckoning Ling Ye. Ling Ye circled around the foot of the pillar, and after turning to the base of the pillar, the knives that had been cut over were slashed at the base of the column, and suddenly there was a shaking again.
The faces of those relatives changed color. Take a knife here and fight with Ling Ye, it will be a favor for him to cut the foot of the pillar together!
So what should I do?
Ling Ye saw their hesitation, looked at them defiantly, and sneered: "Cut, why don't you cut?"
With a click, although the foot of the pillar was thick, it was finally unable to bear it after so many knives, and began to crack, and the arrow tower was crooked to the side. Prince Gong, who was still on it, was so frightened that he screamed, "Why don't you cut him to death!"
Ling Ye replied to them: "It's not easy to cut, you old man wait slowly!"
Several relatives didn't cut it, they didn't fight it, they glanced at each other, and suddenly they all screamed, threw the knife in their hands on the ground, rubbed their bodies and threw themselves towards Ling Ye.
