Chapter 16: Escape
"Ahhh..."
A scream came out after the black-clothed man rushed into the bedroom. Read М
"What's going on!" Pang Kun looked horrified, with a very bad premonition.
"Let's go and take a look!" More than a dozen black-clothed men saw that something was wrong and immediately rushed over to save people.
This time they were very careful.
Entering the bedroom, they tiptoed and looked inside.
There was no King Yan in the light, but just a bundle of quilts, which looked like a person in the firelight outside the window.
And now there was a big pit more than one meter deep under their feet.
The big pit was full of sharpened wood.
The person who rushed in just now fell into the pit and was pierced through.
The person who was not dead yet was covered in blood, reaching out to them for help, wailing,
"We've been fooled, there's an ambush!" The black-clothed man shouted, not caring about his companions at all, and was about to run.
As soon as his voice fell, the sound of several arrows breaking through the air suddenly rang out.
Immediately, three men in black were shot and fell to the ground.
Pang Kun shuddered at the sight.
A voice repeatedly echoed in his mind, "How could this happen? How could the Prince of Yan's Mansion set up an ambush?"
While he was stunned, several more sharp arrows flew through the air, and another person fell in a pool of blood.
At this time, Pang Kun noticed that on the roof of the bedroom under the moonlight, there were six archers constantly shooting arrows.
"Retreat!" Pang Kun ordered.
There is no doubt that since the Prince of Yan's Mansion set up an ambush, the Prince of Yan must not be here.
Staying would only increase casualties.
The followers of Qingfeng Village received the order and followed the old road, climbed over the wall of the Prince's Mansion and fled from the vacant left and right courtyards.
But they climbed over the wall and just landed, they suddenly felt their feet empty, and then they were pierced by a sharp object.
"Ah..." Several screams of men in black rang out.
At this moment, the room in the empty courtyard suddenly opened wide.
Some black shadows rushed out, holding bamboo spears, crowded together, and stabbed the black-clothed men who fell into the pit or were still on the wall.
As the saying goes, an inch longer, an inch stronger.
Moreover, the black-clothed men could neither go up nor down at this time.
Amid screams, they could only be stabbed by bamboo spears.
The black-clothed men were constantly killed.
At the same time.
The front yard and the middle yard were also in a fierce battle.
Chang Wei led the remaining guards like a killing god and entered the black people like a god of death.
They were originally soldiers of the imperial army, carefully selected from the army.
After being strictly trained by Chang Wei, they were very skilled in battle formation.
Three people in a group, back to back, relying on each other, like hedgehogs.
The black-clothed men circled around them, but they had no way to attack, and were constantly killed.
"Ah!"
After hacking and killing more than 30 black-clothed men in a row, the black-clothed men saw that they were defeated and immediately retreated.
Looking at the black-clad man who was dead in the pit in the warehouse, Chang Wei sneered, "Follow me to the backyard!"
This time, the King of Yan's plan was basically successful.
In the afternoon, according to the King of Yan's plan, he went to the imperial army to transfer 500 people to the palace.
In name, they were moving food and grass from the palace warehouse to the camp, but in fact, they were using local materials and digging traps on the road they had to pass.
In the afternoon, the King of Yan and Feng'er Luan'er changed into the clothes of the royal palace's imperial army, dressed up, and mixed in the imperial army's transport team to the camp.
Not all the imperial army went back, leaving more than 200 people to cooperate with the palace servants to defeat the enemy.
According to the King of Yan's order, they fought if they could win, and retreated if they couldn't.
However, after a fight, the black-clad man seemed to be in chaos because of the ambush, and they had the possibility of winning.
"Kill!"
With a roar, he led the army into the backyard.
Fighting with the black-clad man again.
All sides were attacked, and the black-clad man was in a mess.
But they were all vicious.
It was not so easy to take them down at once, and they had the advantage of numbers, so the two sides were in a stalemate.
"Kill them from the front!" Pang Kun shouted.
The walls on both sides hindered their actions.
In his opinion, there might be a chance to concentrate their forces to kill them from the main gate.
The men in black immediately gathered in front of him after receiving the order, and rushed towards Chang Wei in waves.
Chang Wei immediately asked the guards to get together and raise their round shields to form a shield formation.
The knives of the men in black kept slashing at their round shields.
"Go to hell!" When the men in black chopped, the guards cooperated with each other, and the knives pierced through the gaps in the shields, and the men in black kept falling down.
But in the end, two fists could not beat four hands.
Being attacked by almost three times the number of enemies, Chang Wei suddenly felt a little tired and had to stand and retreat.
He was forced back to the middle courtyard from the backyard, and the guards were constantly injured.
At this time, he regretted that he was reckless. He should have listened to the words of King Yan and ran away after taking advantage.
When he was anxious, he suddenly heard footsteps.
A group of men in black rushed in from the main gate of the palace and sandwiched him in the middle.
When Chang Wei saw this, his heart sank, thinking that he would die here tonight.
Pang Kun was overjoyed, thinking that they were his own people.
But before he had time to be happy, he saw that those men in black did not entangle with the guards of the palace, but ran to his side, wielding knives to kill people.
His side was caught off guard, and more than ten people were killed and injured on the spot.
"Are you crazy?" Pang Kun shouted to the men in black: "They are the enemy, we are our own people."
Chang Wei was also dumbfounded, but at this time he noticed that the new men in black had a red cloth tied on their arms.
It was obviously to distinguish between enemies and friends.
He secretly thought that these men in black were not in the same group as the assassins.
Thinking of this, he immediately shouted: "Don't kill those with red cloth, kill the rest, come on."
Although they didn't know where these black-clad men came from, their purpose was obviously the same.
With the help of the black-clad men, the battle situation in the palace was immediately reversed.
Pang Kun secretly cried out that it was not good. At this time, he finally realized that the black-clad men who came were targeting him.
Seeing his companions falling in a pool of blood, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
This time they couldn't escape!
But how could he be willing to die, so he shouted: "Go, kill a bloody way out."
He knew very well that if he fell into the hands of King Yan, he would probably die miserably.
Assassinating the prince was a heinous crime.
"Swoosh!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp arrow pierced his thigh, and his shouting turned into a scream.
On the roof, Xu Lie took out another arrow and aimed at Pang Kun.
"Kill!" Chang Wei saw the opportunity and led his troops to kill again.
After Pang Kun fell, morale dropped greatly. The black-clothed men could no longer resist and fell under the sword one by one.
After a cup of tea, the palace became quiet.
One of the black-clothed men tied with red cloth walked out and said, "During the day, we informed the King of Yan about the night attack, and the Yan Palace helped us capture the leader of Qingfeng Village, Pang Kun. We owe each other nothing. But please tell the King of Yan that my master only took Pang Kun back to kill him to commemorate his family. Goodbye!"
After that, the black-clothed man carried Pang Kun and left, disappearing into the night.
Chang Wei did not chase him, but informed Zhao Xu of the news.
After a while.
Zhao Xu arrived under the escort of the soldiers of the palace.
Looking at the bodies of the black-clothed men on the ground, he said coldly, "Humph, this is just the beginning of the reckoning."
