Chapter Twenty-Six: Fleeing in Embarrassment

Prince Zhi watched the sinking sunset and reined in the war horse, and ordered to go down. The Guards began to set up camp and would reach Hyogo tomorrow. The Guards were all working hard, trying to make a fortune.

The old Qin people are industrious, and the old Qin people in Hyogo have inherited the excellent genes of their ancestors. They work hard every day, so most of them are well-off. Prince Nao asked to come in person, in fact, it was also to make this fortune.

Anyway, Dayuan-kun had already betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, killed all his descendants and robbed his wife and daughter. Packing up and taking away the accumulation of more than 100 years in Hyogo, this is the real purpose of Prince Nao's visit to Hyogo.

"Let the soldiers have a good night's rest, and they will be busy tomorrow." Prince Nao turned to Gen Yoshikyo and commanded.

As a direct victim of the Otokun mutiny, Minamoto Yoshikyo strongly demanded to participate in this action. Of course, his purpose is similar to that of the Straight Prince. Although there is a straight prince who can't eat lean meat, it's always okay to drink some soup.

On the high hill, Yun Xiao held a telescope and looked at the guards in the distance. He also came to eat meat, but not to eat Dayuanjun but Prince Zhi. Behind the hill there was already an ambush of the Yun family's guards and the soldiers of the courtyard king. As soon as the order was given, he would turn this trip of Prince Nao into the last time in his life.

"Camp in the valley, don't even send a scout. This is the only candidate for the emperor to lead troops? Yun Xiao turned to look at the courtyard.

"Master Hou doesn't know, this prince is quite good. The other princes only know the flying eagle lackeys every day, and they are not as good as this direct prince. ”

"His Majesty the Emperor's education is very problematic! It doesn't matter, he doesn't have a good education. I will educate him on his behalf. After nightfall, guard the heights of all places, and not a single mouse can escape. Where did his Protector go? ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, the 500 people of the rear guard army have already set up camp for twenty miles."

"Count their fate, Dayuanjun asked Fusang to bring a thousand people to resist these five hundred. No matter how they rush, they have to go back to Ben Hou. ”

"No. Hou Ye rest assured. Some are given to the last general. ”

As the sun sets, a pitch-black night envelops the entire valley. The crooked crescent moon hung high in the sky, like a child peeking through the crack in the door to peek at a qiē in the night.

An invisible net has been spread, and the two thousand five hundred small fish in the valley are the prey of this net. And these prey are not known at the moment, and they are looking forward to grabbing more tomorrow. I heard that the girls in Hyogo are very beautiful, and it's not bad to grab one and go home to be a girl.

The guards fell asleep in all kinds of longings. They need to recharge their energy and tomorrow many, many bodies.

The silent night passed slowly, and the mountain wind whistled as if to tell the soldiers something. However, the hearts that have been occupied by greed can't understand the rumors, and this day will be an unforgettable day for them. For many of them, this sleep was the last night of their lives.

The sun is still sleeping below the horizon, but the light has awakened the earth. A guard soldier stepped out of the tent and stretched his waist lazily. Then put water on the grass with your eyes closed.

In a daze, he seemed to feel a strong wind flying over. When he opened his eyes, he was surprised to find that the hill in the distance was full of samurai in black armor.

These people all wore hideous armor on their faces, and their bodies were full of a bitter murderous aura. One by one, it seems to be a killing god drilled out of hell.

"Enemy ......" he only shouted half a sentence, and then he felt as if his strength had been drained. When I looked down, I saw a thick crossbow bolt stuck in my chest. Bright red blood was flowing down the pitch-black shafts, and the guards fell to their knees with a "poof".

The green grass and cool wind were his last memories. His eyes widened, but there was no longer the light of life in them. Amaterasu summoned his soul, and his useless body would turn into a handful of dirt in the meadow.

Prince Nao was awakened by the screams as he stepped out of the tent. His army was already in disarray. The Guards raised their shields one after another. Resisting the crossbow arrows of the Yun family's guards.

As for the crossbowmen, they were suppressed to death by the three-bow bed crossbow. The condescending Yun family guards. At the sight of someone trying to pull a crossbow, a spear as thick as a javelin would nail the person to the ground.

"Whew" a man who was carried up by a crossbow flew in front of Prince Nao, and then nailed straight to an ox cart. The guard was still alive, his hands and feet kicking backwards. Trying to get himself out of here, the crossbow was nailed too deep for him to pull out with his strength.

Prince Nao was stunned by what he saw. All around are densely packed with black-armored samurai. Occasionally, there are some Japanese soldiers wearing bamboo armor, and these people are obviously the soldiers of the courtyard monarch. Shouldn't they stay in Shimonoseki, reorganize their troops and horses, and then attack Kyoto? How did you get here so quickly?

As long as Gen Yoshikyo knew, this was the result of his grinding on the road and waiting for the soldiers to disperse. The guards of the Yun family and the soldiers of the courtyard monarch took advantage of this opportunity and easily returned to the arsenal. And here they waited for the Guards. took advantage of the darkness to complete the siege of them.

"Lord Wang, we are surrounded. What to do? Yuan Yijing ran to Prince Nao's side and asked Prince Nao with a frightened face.

The guards beside him dutifully protected their master with their shields, and the javelin-like thing kept firing condescendingly. Even the shields covered with iron could not be stopped, and the guards holding the shields fought in two arms. Their hearts kept praying that the spear of death would not fall on them.

Prince Nao was quite calm, and he hid between two ox carts. For he found that the only thing in the camp that could withstand the terrible ballista was the sturdy ox cart.

"Don't panic, Yoshikyo Minamoto. You rush out now with those hundred cavalrymen, and you must see His Majesty the Emperor as much as possible. Let him send troops to save us. ”

Minamoto Yoshikyo was overjoyed when he heard this, and it was his dream to leave this place of death. Unexpectedly, Prince Zhi actually sent himself out to break through and deliver the letter.

Dongying is cramped and infew, and horses are extremely scarce. Only in the Guards there were hundreds of cavalry, and only the generals of a local daimyo like Oyuan-kun could have a few horses. Some of the poor daimyo didn't even have a war horse to ride.

This time, the prince went on an expedition, and the emperor specially approved a hundred cavalry to accompany him. The main purpose is to show the military might of His Majesty the Emperor, where did I think that this time actually came in handy.

"The last general must live up to the trust of Prince Zhi and bring reinforcements as much as possible." After Yuan Yijing gave the salute, he went to find the cavalry centurion, preparing to break through and escape.

"Lord Wang, why don't you let the cavalry escort you out. That Gen Yoshikyo is famous for being greedy for life and afraid of death, let him ride the horse away, what should you do? The guard beside him saw that Yuan Yijing was gone, and asked with concern.

"Stupid, do you think it's so easy to break through? It was a matter of nine deaths, and the ten people who could rush over alive were thankful.

He Yuan Yijing is greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he encounters danger, he runs faster than a rabbit, and he will definitely fight to kill. Maybe he can break through, but he can only wait for his father's rescue for now.

Ordered everyone to leave the camp and rush up the slope over there. Where at least there are stones to stop that damn ballista. ”

The three-bow bed crossbow is mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Guards, in front of the powerful crossbow guns. The armor and shield were scum, and almost every shot of a crossbow gun would take away the souls of one or two guardsmen.

About two hundred paces from the Guards was a hillside, and the rocky rocks were a good place to hide from the ballistas. At least the ballista can't shoot through the hard rock.

Yesterday when he was camping, Prince Nao noticed it. It's just that it's a sloping place, far from the water source, so he chose the current place.

With the order of Prince Zhi, the guards, who had already been holding back their screams, rushed out of the humble camp one after another. Running towards the slope, the Yun family's guards fired a volley of iron-tired crossbows. The guards fended with their shields as they quickly rushed towards the slope.

Along the way, many of the Guards were shot down by crossbow arrows, and most of those who were wounded were shot in the legs where the shields could not conceal them. They wailed helplessly on the ground, but their robes ran past them as fast as they could. At this time, the father died and the mother got married, and everyone took care of each other, and no one had the time to stop and help the injured.

As soon as you stop, you will be shot by countless crossbow arrows. The Yun family guards like to shoot at things that are relatively immobile, because then the hit rate will be a little higher.

And these guys are very fond of shooting their legs, even if they are a fallen guard. The crossbow bolts beckoned vigorously to their thighs, and some of the wounded soldiers dragged their bloody legs down the slope. Some hugged their thighs and wailed loudly, begging for their robes to save them.

"Don't save people, run!" Prince Zhi was so angry that his head was smoking, and the tactics of the Han people were really vicious. The wounded were clearly bait to lure more people to come to the rescue. Then those hateful black-armored warriors can shoot at will.

Yuan Yijing urged the war horse under his crotch, and a hundred cavalry galloped forward like crazy. On the slopes on both sides, there was a constant stream of crossbow arrows, and the cavalry could not protect the horses.

The horses that were only hit by one or two arrows ran even more violently, and the horses that were shot like hedgehogs would fall to the ground with a wail.

One after another, the horses fell to the ground and wailed, and the knights who fell to the ground were thrown to pieces. Before he could stand up, he was greeted by the iron-tired crossbow.

"Leave a few, fuck a few don't hear me." The goshawk roared angrily on the hillside, and the guards were so careless that they almost left the hundred cavalry here.

Minamoto Yoshikyo, who had been hit by an arrow in the shoulder, fled in despair, followed only by two cavalrymen. really let Prince Zhi say it right, this is simply ten deaths. (To be continued......)
