Chapter 453: Blocking the Road
Thousands of enemy troops, obviously prepared, after they found that the bows and arrows could not help the attacking Dongwangfu army, they immediately unloaded the weapons they were carrying behind their backs and took them out as quickly as possible.
This weapon is a long-handled broadsword with two edges and hooks, which is designed to deal with war horses.
But these enemies have overlooked one important point, and that is the speed of the war horses of the Eastern Palace.
By the time they began to untie the hook and chain guns they were carrying, the hundred-man team of the East Prince's Mansion had already rushed to their front. When they took out their weapons and prepared to meet them, the knight's saber was already slashed at their necks.
It was a one-sided massacre.
In the face of the soldiers of the Eastern Wangfu who have been cultivated in a hundred battles, these stragglers are brave and vulnerable.
It only took a stick of incense or so, the battle has come to an end, thousands of enemy troops, there are few effective kills to the hundred-man team, the final result, the East Wangfu Escort Hundred-man team, with the record of not dying a single person, eliminated the thousand enemy troops that appeared in front of them, and destroyed the withering and decaying.
All this seems to have not changed, just like the first time I saw them, just a few days ago, near the pass, the troops who ambushed the Dongwang Mansion had a combat effectiveness similar to the thousand people who appeared now, and they were almost vulnerable. In front of the Dongwangfu army, which was like a tiger and wolf, these heavily armed enemy troops were like farmers in armor, without the slightest ability to resist. They weren't even as good as the civilian soldiers they encountered in the enclave.
The battle was over, Huang Yuanwu had been observing the battlefield, and in his opinion, the thousand-strong troops that appeared here were probably just the enemy's bait, and the bigger killing move was still behind. But until the end of the battle, Huang Yuanwu was surprised to find that this was not a decoy, there were only so many enemies appeared, and they were just fighting against the East Wangfu, without any combat experience at all.
Unexpectedly, these people's will to fight was still very strong, and under such a disparity in battle, none of them fled, which made Huang Yuanwu feel a little surprised.
Liu Yi returned to Huang Yuanwu's side with a team of 100 people, his face was a little heavy, and thick blood stains soaked his whole body.
"Little prince, there may be fraud. Liu Yi came to Huang Yuanwu's side, reached out and wiped the blood on his face, and said softly.
The process of this battle is too fast, the enemy seems to be stretching their necks for them to slash, and they die without regrets, Liu Yi has never encountered such a battle before, even if the troops with low combat effectiveness are not able to resist. But these enemies faced today, I really think they are paper paste, and the hundred-man team killed almost half of them in a single attack, and the hook and chain guns in their hands did not play any role at all.
"I know. Huang Yuanwu nodded lightly, looking at the bloodstains and broken wall stumps in front of him, his expression was a little serious.
According to his understanding, the purpose of dispatching these troops was to take their own lives, but in any case, it was impossible for such a low combat effectiveness of the troops to win the escort of the Eastern Palace. The more than 200 guards of Huang Yuanwu, even if they encounter a regular army, as long as there are no more than a few thousand, they have the possibility of breaking through, and these enemy troops now, or they can't be called enemy troops, they should be called cannon fodder. It's really vulnerable.
"In the jungle, there must be other ambushes, the enemy has already moved, and he will not give up. Liu Yi took a breath lightly and returned to behind Huang Yuanwu, and the hundred-man team was also returning to the camp, and still no one spoke.
At this moment, Huang Yuanwu looked back and frowned.
At the beginning, a small team shot out by Liu Yi pursued the enemy who released cold arrows, but now a long time has passed, and it has not been
Seeing them return, there is only one possibility, the sergeant of that squad is likely to have been wiped out.
"The real crisis is in the back. Huang Yuanwu said softly: "These enemies who appeared are to delay our footsteps, wait for the people behind us, and form an encirclement of us. Huang Yuanwu glanced at the empty plain behind him, said what he thought in his heart, and then ordered: "The whole army, advance slowly, pay attention to the cold arrows and feet, without my order, you must not attack without authorization." ”
Then, at the order of Huang Yuanwu, the escort began to move forward slowly, saying that it was slow, but in fact, the speed was okay, and soon, the escort team passed through the bloody battlefield in front of them and entered the jungle.
Entering the jungle, there are still thirty miles of road from the camp of the East Prince's Mansion, these thirty miles, almost all mountain roads, it is very easy to set up ambushes, if someone wants the life of Huang Yuanwu, it is appropriate to do it here.
After entering the jungle, Huang Yuanwu was more cautious, and they slowly moved forward, and the sergeants on the left and right had been observing the surrounding situation, ready to deal with the cold arrows that suddenly came at any time.
"Hoo ......"
Suddenly, in the middle of the road in the forest, a wooden wall appeared, suddenly appeared, blocking the road ahead, and the sergeant in front had to stop, looking at the wooden wall that suddenly appeared in front of him, his face expressionless.
The brigade stopped advancing, and Huang Yuanwu ordered at the first time: "Occupy the high ground on both sides immediately, and everyone stay away from the road!"
Immediately, Huang Yuanwu turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the jungle on the side, and almost at the moment when they left, on the mountains on the left and right, the arrow feathers were fired in unison, overwhelmingly shooting towards the middle of the road, and several war horses and sergeants were immediately shot into hedgehogs by the arrows in the sky, and fell straight down. But most of the sergeants had already hidden in the forest on the left and right because of Huang Yuanwu's order, avoiding these bows and arrows.
"Find a place to hide, the war horse can give up, be careful. Huang Yuanwu pressed his body against a big tree, and at the same time whispered orders to his subordinates. In fact, he didn't need to say anything, his escort team was all experienced and knew what to do now. At the same time as the concealment, the guards on the left and right have begun to clean up the woods where they are hiding, and in the process of cleaning up, they found several mechanisms in the woods and dismantled them.
"It looks like they're not going to go head-to-head. Liu Yi was at Huang Yuanwu's side, his body was close to the big tree, and while looking up, he whispered to Huang Yuanwu.
"Since we did it, we didn't intend to get out alive. Huang Yuanwu said, pointing to the mountain in front of him, and said: "Their crossbowmen are all ambushed on it, left and right, now the vision is not good, they can't shoot easily, once we wait until dawn, we have no way to escape." ”
"I'll take someone up and kill them!" Liu Yi gritted his teeth, of course he also discovered the hiding place of the enemy's crossbowmen, and he was about to act immediately, but he was caught by Huang Yuanwu, and only listened to Huang Yuanwu: "Don't worry, if you guess correctly, the way up the mountain is full of organs, they are preparing for this killing game, they may have been preparing for a long time, although we have strong combat effectiveness, but we can't avoid all cold arrows, once it fails, it will cause attrition, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"What can the little prince do, let's talk about it quickly. Liu Yi was obviously a little anxious, he hated to kill it now, and cut these miscellaneous corpses that would only secretly release arrows, but what Huang Yuanwu said was also the truth, the number of enemy troops is unknown, even if it is just some people with extremely poor combat effectiveness, holding a bow and crossbow can also cause damage, and the jungle on the left and right is full of organs, which has been confirmed.
"Take advantage of the night, solve the left and right organs first, if nothing else, they will send people in, and the people who come again this time, just
It's not that fragile kind of goods anymore. Huang Yuanwu's eyes looked at the mountain on the side, and in the night, he couldn't see it clearly, but he knew that on it, he didn't know how many enemy crossbowmen were lurking, and when he waited for Huang Yuanwu's side to make a move, he would immediately activate the bow and crossbow.
"Okay!" Liu Yi nodded and immediately issued Huang Yuanwu's order, and the guards lurking on the left and right sides, two teams immediately began to move, touching the organs on the left and right, while the rest of the people, quietly lurking, were completely hidden in the jungle. As for their war horses, most of them stopped at the edge of the jungle, and these warhorses were well trained, and they did not run around, they all gathered together. And the enemy troops lurking on the left and right did not shoot arrows at the horses.
In the jungle in late autumn, the leaves are yellow, there are no insects and birds, and fallen leaves fall from time to time. Everything has returned to tranquility, and the mountains and forests seem to be empty.
The action of the investigation agency is slowly proceeding, the arrangement of these organs is not exquisite, but most of the time it is hidden, fortunately, there are not many people dispatched by Huang Yuanwu, there are only two squads, the action is light, plus the experience of these guards is sufficient, the work of disarming the mechanism is not difficult for them, as time goes by, a large number of surrounding organs have been lifted, these organs, mostly cold arrows and rolling stones, a small number of traps, are not large organs. It seems that the enemy's intention is to trap Huang Yuanwu and the others here, making it difficult for them to move an inch.
While waiting, Huang Yuanwu's mind kept running, and he was guessing the enemy's intentions.
Within the scope of the imperial capital, there are no other troops, the emperor's direct Imperial Forest Army is under Yang Qin's control at the moment, most of these people are Yang Qin's cronies or close friends, Yang Qin must have placed a lot of his own people in it when he was the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Forest Army, and now all the Imperial Forest Army is in the imperial capital, which is already Yang Qin's personal arm.
Originally, the defenders of Shuinan City had been slaughtered when the King of the West occupied Shuinan City, and the royal nobles who were sealed here were all under the control of Huang Zhengchu at this moment. In other words, now, in the entire imperial capital, only three forces are exposed to the bright side.
Yang Qin's troops in the imperial capital, that is, the previous Imperial Forest Army. The army of the Northern Wangfu occupies two cities at the moment, and the rest is the Dongwangfu that has just arrived, and the troops of the Dongwangfu have not really entered the imperial capital, and are only camped on the edge.
Under such a strange balance, it gives other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it.
What Huang Yuanwu can be sure of is that these horses are definitely not sent by Huang Zhengchu, if he has the intention of killing himself, he doesn't have to spend so much Zhou Zhang at all, he enters Shuinan City by himself, if he wants to kill him, there are countless opportunities.
As for Yang Qin, Huang Yuanwu also thought about it, but felt that it was unlikely. The imperial capital is now surrounded by the North Palace, and Yang Qin's news wants to spread out, unless there is also his secret line in the North Palace, it will be difficult to reach the sky. However, if he dies, it will be good news for Yang Qin, he may not be the mastermind of this attack, but he must be the one who knows and fuels the trouble.
As for the rest of the people, Huang Yuanwu didn't know which force had a reason to attack him, but he clearly knew that once he died, the Qitian Empire would fall into absolute chaos, and countless people would jump out and get a piece of the pie in the troubled times.
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped up in Huang Yuanwu's mind.
If you want to mess up the current balance, you can not only kill yourself, but also have a possibility, you can achieve the same goal!
"Damn!" Huang Yuanwu suddenly thought of this, scolded secretly, and immediately said to Liu Yi on the side: "Don't wait, let's get on the horse immediately and return to the camp at full speed!"
