Chapter 368: Turning sides at the last minute!
Ye Chen looked at the arrow in his hand and thought to himself that he was really careless.
He originally thought that as the emperor, as long as he stood up, Kou Yu would not dare to confront him face to face.
At that time, there is a possibility that the morale of Kou Yu's soldiers will collapse.
But he never expected that Kou Yu would actually shoot this arrow directly at him.
The arrow came with great force, and it was obvious that Kou Yu had used some tricks.
This arrow looks like one arrow, but in fact it is two arrows, as if they were glued together by someone, and the glue is not tight, it can only be barely combined.
As a result, Shen Qiu only cut off half of the arrow with his sword, but could not block the remaining half.
This is really hard to guard against.
Ye Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
When Shen Qiu and Di Gui rushed up in horror, Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and stopped the two people who were about to help him.
"Kou Yu!"
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and raised the arrow.
"Traitor! You really are planning a rebellion!"
"How dare you shoot an arrow at me!"
Ye Chen's voice was filled with anger, yet it was also full of energy.
When Kou Yu heard Ye Chen's voice, his whole body trembled and a look of panic immediately appeared on his face.
He never thought that Ye Chen was shot in the chest by an arrow, but he was still alive.
"Kou Yu!"
"I swear to kill you!"
"Anyone who dares to help you will be torn into pieces!"
Ye Chen was extremely angry, his voice as loud as thunder.
In the sunlight, the golden armor on his body sparkled.
Seeing this, Kou Yu was shocked all over and his face was full of panic.
Behind him, the faces of the 30,000 soldiers all showed expressions of fear.
Before, Kou Yu always said that Ye Chen was a liar, and many soldiers agreed with him deep down in their hearts.
After all, these troops have always followed Kou Yu.
But Kou Yu suddenly attacked Ye Chen, and then the situation completely changed.
Not to mention, the arrow didn't even kill Ye Chen.
Ye Chen even acted as if nothing had happened.
There wasn't a speck of blood on his clothes.
what is this?
This is destiny, this is the true emperor!
This is a blessing that only the emperor can have.
People in ancient times were very superstitious.
And facing Ye Chen’s roar.
The soldiers suddenly felt panic.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”~~
Weapons fell to the ground one after another.
Some soldiers lost their will to fight.
"It's fake, he's fake, he's pretending to be the emperor!"
Kou Yu was completely panicked and pointed at Ye Chen and yelled.
But at this time, even the soldiers under his command did not believe his words.
In the eyes of the soldiers, all his actions were due to his guilty conscience after the failed assassination attempt on the emperor.
"Pick up your weapons! The general orders you to pick up your weapons!"
"Supervise the team!"
Kou Yu roared angrily.
He then pulled the bowstring again, but at this time, Di Gui and Shen Qiu were already standing in front of Ye Chen, and he had no chance.
Di Gui also drew his bow and arrow.
"Swoosh!"
Kou Yu lowered his head, and the arrow flew past his head.
Although he was not hit, the tassel on his helmet was shot off.
At this moment, he also knew that he had no chance. After looking at Di Gui with hatred, he pulled the reins, turned around and left, but rushed into the camp.
Ye Chen’s roar had already been heard.
"All soldiers who laid down their weapons are innocent. All those who dared to kill soldiers, I will keep my word and exterminate your entire clan! You will be skinned alive!"
"All soldiers unwilling to rebel, take up your weapons! If you can capture the traitor Kou Yu, I will appoint him a second-rank military officer and grant him the title of Marquis of Bravery, a title that will be hereditary for generations to come!"
Ye Chen opened his mouth and offered a reward.
He understood that in order to get others to work for him, the reward must be high enough.
Moreover, he had already gained the upper hand in the previous conversation with Kou Yu.
Now, he is going to add fuel to the fire. He not only wants to make Kou Yu's soldiers lose their fighting spirit, but also wants them to work for him, and it would be best if they could turn against him in the middle of a battle.
And listened to Ye Chen's words.
Kou Yu's face suddenly changed. He looked around and found that many soldiers and generals were also looking at him.
He just felt that the gazes of these familiar people were very strange at this moment, which made him feel cold all over and made him suspicious.
Even though he knew that Ye Chen's words would definitely not be able to motivate all the soldiers under his command.
But the cleverness of this conspiracy lies in the fact that he doesn't dare to gamble at all.
"Big, my lord."
One of Kou Yu's trusted generals saw that Kou Yu's face was not right and stepped forward to ask
"Declare war! Assemble the army for this general and start the war! Those who disobey military orders will die!"
Kou Yu suddenly roared angrily.
He no longer dared to trust anyone, but he knew that if he did not take action at this moment, he would really lose control of the entire army.
People in the army might rebel!
Instead of waiting for Ye Chen’s strategy of sowing discord to take effect, it would be better to divert the attention of the entire army directly.
Kou Yu decided to go all in!
Fight with Ye Chen!
In an instant, the sound of war drums rang out among the 30,000-strong army.
Many soldiers looked hesitant, but a large number of officers obeyed Kou Yu's orders and shouted loudly.
People just follow the crowd.
Although many soldiers were reluctant, they were eventually mobilized.
When Ye Chen saw this, he frowned slightly.
"Kou Yu, you rebelled alone and ignored your men, asking them to die for you. You deserve to die!"
Ye Chen roared.
"Attack, attack! Cavalry, charge!"
Kou Yu roared with all his might at this time. He had no other choice but to repel the army in front of him.
At that time, the 30,000 troops under his command would naturally have no choice but to follow him to the end.
"Array up!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Di Gui quickly drew out his sword.
A large number of infantrymen immediately raised their shields and stood in front.
However, before the cavalry could launch an attack, a small force suddenly separated and rushed towards Kou Yu.
"Kill the traitor Kou Yu!"
The cavalry commander's eyes were red, and he had already picked up a long spear.
In an instant, many cavalrymen who were charging pulled their reins and turned around together.
The cavalry's formation was suddenly in disarray.
Kou Yu suddenly panicked, and the personal guards around him immediately stepped forward to surround him.
However, the surrounding infantry were somewhat hesitant and did not step forward to form a defensive formation.
Seeing that the cavalry was about to rush forward without any obstruction.
Kou Yu could only order his personal soldiers to retreat, intending to retreat into the military formation, behind the infantry, to defend himself.
As he retreated, the general's flag that had been standing behind him also retreated.
"Archery!"
At Di Gui's command, the archers who had already lined up behind the shield soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows.
Most of the arrows hit the ground, and only a small number of cavalry were hit by the arrows. However, the next moment, the entire cavalry quickly retreated.
The moment they saw Kou Yu's flag retreating, the cavalry could no longer hold back and lost interest in charging forward.
Soon, more cavalrymen turned their horses and rushed towards Kou Yu.
