Chapter 113: Border troops? Shoot the horses first!
Chapter 113: Border troops? Shoot the horses first!
Chang An shook his head subconsciously. This was impossible, absolutely impossible.
Why would the border troops pretend to be bandits and attack the diplomatic mission's guards? Why would they do this without a warrant? Leaving the camp without permission is a serious crime, let alone attacking the diplomatic mission?
It can't be that the Beili people secretly crossed the border, right?
Chang An was a little confused!
Fortunately, Gu Jingzhi and others discovered it in time, although the enemy's rain of arrows caused dozens of casualties.
Fortunately, there are still more than a thousand of them, so the situation is not too bad.
Soon, the arrows in the forest gradually became less dense than before, and Chang An immediately shouted, "Form a formation to resist the enemy!"
When the guards heard the order, they didn't care about the sporadic arrows that were shot out, and they moved closer one by one with their shields held high!
Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly upon seeing this. Chang An was quite good at leading soldiers. These soldiers reacted very quickly and it was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into training them.
"Brother Feng, give me the sword!"
Gu Jingzhi shouted, and Lin Feng, who was hiding beside the carriage, immediately got into the carriage. Soon he ran to Gu Jingzhi holding a sword.
"Cousin!"
Gu Jingzhi took the sword, poked his head out from behind a big tree, and saw rows of men in black forming a battle formation in front of him.
"Captain Chang, do you see the way?"
Chang An looked at it intently, but shook his head slightly: "I can't tell, it's definitely an army!"
army……
Gu Jingzhi sighed softly. From what he could see, the enemy had at least three thousand men, while his side had only a little over a thousand. The key point was that they were all cavalry, and they could not maneuver at all in this woods.
The most important thing is that the enemy attacked when they were off guard. At that time, all the soldiers dismounted. After several rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers' horses ran away or were injured, and there were simply not many usable horses left!
He glanced at the prisoner wagon behind him and said, "As the saying goes, to capture a thief, you must first capture the leader. Captain Chang, you lead the brothers to defend the enemy here. Brother Feng and I will charge into their camp and control the enemy leader first!"
Behind the enemy, a masked man in black rode on a tall horse, looking at this side with cold eyes.
After hearing what Chen Yao said, Lin Feng immediately picked up a saber from the ground. However, Chang An objected, "Sir, you are the chief envoy of the delegation, the imperial envoy appointed by His Majesty. You must not take risks in front!"
"In this emergency, we must act swiftly. You are the commander of the guards, and it is most appropriate for you to command them. Protect the envoys and the prisoners here. We will first kill the enemy chief. Only then can we break the siege today!"
"Can……"
"It's settled now, otherwise no one will be able to leave today!"
"..."
Chang An gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Your Excellency, please go ahead. I will definitely not let the delegation suffer any loss!"
"Ok!"
Gu Jingzhi nodded, then looked at Lin Feng, who also nodded firmly.
"Which battalion of the border army are you from? How dare you attack the imperial guard? Are you planning a rebellion?"
Gu Jingzhi shouted loudly, and the marching team of men in black stopped, and many of them even looked at each other!
Seeing this, Gu Jingzhi felt a chill in his heart.
He just wanted to trick these people, but he didn't expect that these people were actually his own people.
The Daxia border troops brazenly attacked their own envoy's guards in broad daylight...
Seeing that some people on their side seemed to be frightened, someone in the team immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, they are a fake delegation, their purpose is to sneak into our Daxia and steal secrets. The general has ordered, kill them..."
When the men in black heard this, they immediately turned to look at Gu Jingzhi and the other two.
"fart!"
Lin Feng cursed angrily, "We were sent to Beili by the imperial court, but you framed us. Just wait and see how I'm going to kill you!"
Lin Feng shouted loudly, which frightened many people again. Taking advantage of this gap, the two of them jumped up and ran wildly, and soon rushed to the front of the enemy army.
The person who had just spoken felt a flash before his eyes, and Gu Jingzhi and others were already in front of him.
Gu Jingzhi drew his sword and slashed at the man. The man's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately held his sword horizontally to block.
Who would have thought that the Great Xia Dragon Bird is not only a symbol of the authority of Emperor Xia, but is also a magical weapon that can cut through iron like mud.
With a clang, the man's long sword broke into two pieces, and the blade of the Great Xia Dragon Bird directly cut into the man's neck.
"呲呲..."
Without bothering to watch the man bleeding, Gu Jingzhi and Lin Feng rushed directly into the enemy camp, and no one could match them wherever they went.
……
"grown ups!"
Behind the enemy army, a man pointed at Gu Jingzhi and Lin Feng in the crowd, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
The war will only last for a short while.
The man in black who was called "Sir" looked at the center of the formation. When he saw Gu Jing, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Leave one team to fight with them, and the others rush directly to the prison van and make sure to kill everyone inside!" The man in black just ordered coldly.
Upon hearing this, the subordinates around the man in black immediately shouted, "Don't stay any longer. Leave one team behind to hold them back, and the rest of you rush straight towards the prison van..."
The voice reached the formation, and Gu Jingzhi naturally heard the order. A hint of realization flashed in his eyes.
It seems that I was right. These people didn't really want to deal with them. Their only target was the people in the prison van!
After hearing the order, these people did not bother to argue any further. They left behind a team of more than 200 people, and the others rushed directly to Gu Jing's rear!
"Lin Feng, work harder and break out of the encirclement first!"
Even though Gu Jingzhi was a skilled martial artist and could wield a long sword impenetrably, we were outnumbered and had no armor, so he and Lin Feng had already suffered some minor injuries.
The two men leaned against each other, hacking at the enemies around them. Gu Jingzhi said, "The enemy force is nearly three times as many as Chang An and his men. If this continues, there will be more casualties. I'll send you out later. Go straight to that man in black and make sure to capture him!"
"it is good!"
Lin Feng nodded.
Although it seemed a bit difficult for his cousin to deal with more than 200 people alone, Gu Jingzhi's method was undoubtedly the best way to solve the current problem.
The man in black watched coldly as Gu Jingzhi and the other two were being besieged, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Just two people with two short weapons were able to hold out for so long under the siege of hundreds of his men. The key point was that his subordinates suffered continuous casualties.
However, in just a quarter of an hour, nearly a hundred people fell.
Gu Jingzhi noticed that there were fewer and fewer people around him, and suddenly a light flashed in his eyes.
Right now.
"Lin Feng!"
He grabbed Lin Feng's arm, exerted force with his hand, and instantly threw Lin Feng high up, and directly broke away from the battle group.
Lin Feng flipped several times in the air and landed directly on the ground.
When the man in black saw this scene, his eyes suddenly changed.
It's actually coming for me?
He shouted coldly: "Go!"
In an instant, he led his men and rushed directly towards Lin Feng.
However, after Lin Feng was trained in martial arts by Gu Jingzhi for a period of time, his skills improved significantly.
The people following the man in black were no match for Lin Feng at all.
In just a moment, those people fell to the ground.
Lin Feng looked at the man in black with cold eyes: "It's your turn..."
