Chapter 155: Mo Yu Yun Jian
Uncle Li and Lai Biao rushed over and looked Jiuning up and down. They saw that apart from his dirty face, everything else was fine and there was not even a drop of blood on his body.
"We were all terrified when we received your letter. The son-in-law was guarding the palace and couldn't leave, so he had to transfer all the people he could."
"I say, how did you set up so many traps in such a short time?"
The shouting and screaming in the dense forest gradually subsided, and many people had already started cleaning up the scene.
"Bring your bows and crossbows, and follow me to attack King Cheng's camp. These 20,000 men are his trusted aides, so there's no need to show them mercy."
Looking around, they only had about 300 people on their side, and it would be difficult to face an army of nearly 20,000 people!
Their biggest advantage now is that the other party doesn't know their weapons, but those who run away will quickly send information back.
"Uncle Li, the beast's method is very good. This time, we will go to the military camp to find the horses. There are also some living cattle and sheep there."
"Yes, Patriarch, I will send some fast people ahead. The fighting is dangerous, so don't follow them."
"That's right! I, Lai Biao, have been holding this grudge for years, and this time I'm going to kill him without a single piece of armor left. Just leave it to us!"
Now there are battlefields inside and outside the city. With fewer enemies, the people in the city will be safer.
If there is no movement outside the city, it means that no signal has been sent from inside the city. We are still talking about it, so we can put it aside for now.
"Uncle Li, I'll go with you to the military camp to check out the situation. No need to persuade me."
Uncle Li was also very worried about Jiuning's safety. If he got hurt even a little bit, his uncle would probably not make his life easy in the future.
As expected, they were trained by Xiao Heng himself. They were quickly integrated right after the battle.
In front of King Cheng’s military camp, a soldier covered in wounds staggered over.
"Someone come...someone come...General Chu has been ambushed, send reinforcements immediately."
The soldier ran and shouted, and fell down just fifty meters away from the military camp.
The guard at the door went forward to check, and when he saw that he couldn't wake the man up no matter what he did, he quickly reported the matter.
The camp knew that Chu Lan had led his troops out, but they didn't know what they were doing. Now they could only lead people to reinforce.
From assembly to departure, two thousand people set off with just one command.
Not long after, more than a dozen people sneaked into the military camp, and the soldier who couldn't be awakened finally opened his eyes.
Jiuning divided the more than 300 people brought by Uncle Li into two teams, each team of 30 people, and went to the military camp to wait for the order to set fire.
The remaining 200 people stayed on standby, while those who came to support King Cheng followed the previous marching route and groped their way to the small dense forest.
The bloodstains here were extremely obvious, indicating that there had indeed been a fierce battle in the dense forest. As soon as the team in front entered the dense forest, shouts of killing were heard from the distance behind them.
I saw a group of people standing on both sides to cut off the reinforcement team's route, with rows of bows and crossbows pointing at everyone.
"Shoot!" the order was given.
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh'
Countless arrows shot towards the crowd, two arrows fired in succession, two hundred people shot at the same time, and the soldiers fell down one after another without even having time to resist.
This team was not keen on fighting and was divided into two rows. The first row could shoot twenty arrows at a time and could shoot ten times in a row. The team behind would immediately make up for the shortcoming when the front row changed arrows.
After two rounds, everyone stopped and the team quickly gathered.
Two hundred people fired bows and crossbows continuously, and two thousand people fell down quickly. There were only a few who were able to fight.
Without even bothering to clean up the battlefield, everyone quickly set off and ran towards the military camp.
At this time, in the military camp, the cattle and horses that were set on fire had begun to run around, and the sounds of trampling and screaming were endless. More soldiers ran out of the tents.
And what greeted them was the team that had just arrived.
Jiuning quickly gave orders and started another round of attack. People who ran out of the military camp fell one by one.
When everyone realized the danger of bows and crossbows, they gradually retreated, shrinking and not daring to take a step forward.
Although Jiuning's men were few in number, apart from the loss of more than twenty people in the dense forest, no other men were injured.
However, there were only less than 10,000 people left in King Cheng's army at this time, and both sides had entered a period of silence.
The arrows in her team had been severely depleted and there were not many left, while there were still nearly ten thousand people in the camp.
But without their main general, they had lost their backbone and had become a group of scattered sand. Even if they broke through, they could not cause much damage, let alone gather together to attack the city.
As long as these people can be trapped, Xiao Heng believes that he can still deal with those in the city.
At the palace banquet, Wan Ning woke up unexpectedly, but blood was still flowing from her chest. As she coughed, the wound continued to tear, and half of her body was already dyed red.
Wan Ning laughed loudly and said that God had treated her well, but the next moment, Li Jin stepped forward and covered her mouth, fearing that she would tell others about her injury.
Seeing this, Zhao Ye shouted, "How dare you be so rude to the princess."
Li Jin stiffened his neck but did not dare to say anything loud, but King Cheng was not afraid of this.
"My dear sister, you have suffered, so please don't say anything. I will make the decision for you.
It's just that Your Majesty is afraid that my achievements will surpass yours, so he won't tolerate me. Since he can't tolerate me, why should I support him anymore?"
Zhao Ye was so angry when he saw the other party's shameless statement that he glared at her: "You keep saying that you are doing this for your sister's good, but shouldn't you find a doctor to treat her injuries?"
Zhao Sheng immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty, please don't worry about that."
"Come here, take down all those who oppose me in the hall."
Zhao Sheng smiled complacently. He had already controlled the whole place. The golden throne belonged to him. He couldn't help but open his arms and laugh.
"Don't do it yet."
A cold voice came from Zhao Ye's mouth.
The guards who surrounded everyone suddenly raised their swords and slashed at the people around them. Those people were caught off guard and fell to the ground instantly.
Afterwards, these guards pointed their bloody knives at King Cheng.
Zhao Sheng was shocked and at a loss what to do after this sudden change.
I saw the guards rubbing their cheeks fiercely, and the masks were torn off their skin one by one.
Among them was a most familiar face, who strode up to Zhao Sheng and stood between His Majesty and King Cheng.
"Why are you here? My people clearly saw that you were supposed to be guarding the city wall. How could you be in the palace?"
Xiao Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and gripped the sword tightly in his hand.
"Prince Cheng is guilty of treason, which is unforgivable. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."
Xiao Heng was anxious. He was worried about Jiu Ning's safety. Three hundred against twenty thousand, if he just stood there and continued to chop, he would be exhausted to death.
He had to move faster and pacify the city before he could lead his troops out. In a hurry, he showed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Come here, kill me!"
Xiao Heng raised his sword and rushed towards King Cheng.
Behind King Cheng was a group of soldiers that he had brought out from the military camp. They surrounded him and escorted him out slowly.
When leaving, Li Jin and Li Zhongnan did not forget to take Wan Ning with them.
