Traveling through ancient times: starting with live streaming

Chapter 696: Grab time

If there are stakes blocking the way ahead, push them down; if there are camps, burn them down; if there are enemy troops blocking the way, rush forward.

"Kill gods if they stand in the way; kill Buddhas if they stand in the way." They are invincible and unstoppable.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The Lin army surrounded the Mirage army on three sides and attacked for a long time but could not break through the main force of the Mirage army.

The enemy is also fighting desperately and making a desperate effort.

This was something Zhou Chang had not expected.

The most important thing is to race against time.

Another major reason why the siege could not be broken for a long time was that there was no general like Gao Yuan or Zhou Tang in Lin’s army who could charge and fight hard.

Not only that, the vanguard troops advanced slowly and lost several generals.

"So what? We have more people than them. Charge forward and defeat him..." Zhou Chang was anxious. She had rushed up with the vanguard battalion.

As the sky grew brighter, the main force had not yet reached Saddle Valley.

"Chen Yuan, how are you?" With no one available, Zhou Chang glanced at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan replaced Gao Yuan and had been guarding Zhou Chang's chariot. He knew the meaning of the question, but he couldn't help but hesitate: "If I leave, who will protect your safety?"

"You go, there are so many people around me." Zhou Chang waved his hand and ordered Chen Yuan to rush forward.

Chen Yuan did not hesitate much. He and Gao Yuan were brothers in the same trench. Gao Yuan charged into the battle line and captured the general's head. If there was a chance, who wouldn't want to kill a few more enemies?

Zhou Chang watched Chen Yuan spur his horse to charge towards the enemy.

In a moment, Chen Yuan was seriously injured and defeated.

"Chen Yuan, how are you?" Zhou Chang was anxious and heartbroken.

Chen Yuan was wounded and fell on his horse's back: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent."

"What's going on ahead?" Zhou Chang looked anxiously at the smoke in front of him, unable to see the situation clearly.

Chen Yuan was wounded on his right shoulder, and the long sword in his hand had fallen. "Your Majesty, there is a commander in front of us who is leading the troops to block the main force of our army. He can defeat ten of them alone."

"Who is that? Is it the guy called Xiye?" Zhou Chang stood on the chariot, tightened his grip on the skinny monkey's shoulders, and was about to ask him to drive the car over to take a closer look.

"Your Highness, you can't..." Chen Yuan was obviously trying his best to bear the injury. "Regardless of how fierce Xi Ye is, in my opinion, the Mirage Army may be trying to attract our main force and try to find a gap in the rear to break out."

"Break out? Then run towards Ma'an Valley. Why are you blocking here? You should all go back to your lair." Zhou Chang couldn't say a single good word.

Chen Yuan was already shaky on his horse: "Perhaps they have seen through our intentions, so they are determined to fight their way out. If we let them hide in the Wushan Mountains, it will be difficult to capture them later."

It’s not that it’s difficult to deal with, it’s that they have all slipped through the net, so where can we catch them?

"Absolutely impossible. If that's the case, don't blame me for not leaving you a chance to live." Zhou Chang was furious and raised his voice, "Charge forward, charge forward with all your strength, and kill them all."

Chen Yuan used his last bit of strength to stop Zhou Chang: "Your Highness, if Brother Gao was still here, he might be able to fight against Xi Ye. But now we have defeated several generals and cannot defeat them. We need to make a detour..."

"There is no time for detours." Zhou Chang said decisively, and shouted again, "Charge, charge, charge. Ten taels of gold for one head. Charge, charge, charge. All the gold is yours."

After shouting, he patted the shoulder of the skinny monkey in front of him and said, "Monkey, let's go too."

"Okay." The skinny monkey didn't hesitate either.

Although it was his first time driving a chariot, he could rush forward as if he was running on the busy streets of a capital city. He whipped the horse whip and rushed forward.

Smoke rose everywhere, the sounds of fighting and shouting rose and fell, and the chariots seemed to be in an empty land.

Zhou Chang felt that his decision not to wear armor was the right one. If he wore armor and set up the crossbow, Prince Yi would not be able to last more than three minutes with his physical strength.

Now you can half-squat in the chariot, use all your strength to use your legs to stand steady in the bumpy and shaking chariot, then hold the crossbow with one hand and aim and shoot with the other.

The crossbow is the weapon that is easiest to master.

Zhou Chang tried shooting two arrows in the chaos of the army, and both of them hit the target. He made up his mind to launch a surprise attack on Xi Ye.

He was loading arrows into the crossbow, preparing to fire the third shot.

A hundred steps away, a general of the Mirage Army, wearing black armor and riding a black horse, was invincible in the chaotic army. The black armor glowed darkly in the sunlight and seemed invulnerable to swords and spears.

A guard lieutenant general who was following the chariot said, "Your Highness, that man is Xi Ye Kuo, the leader of the Mirage Bandits. It is said that the armor he is wearing was obtained from a tomb of the previous dynasty and can resist water, fire, and swords."

"Xishinokuo?" Zhou Chang did not answer. He quickly steadied his body, aimed at Xishinokuo, and shot the first arrow into the air.

Then the second arrow, the third arrow...

Only then did I realize that it was difficult to aim at a specific target in a violently shaking carriage. The first two arrows were shot without missing, but they were purely random.

After three consecutive misses, Nishino Hiroshi noticed this side, and with his long sword he pushed away the scattered soldiers and tried to attack the chariot.

"Monkey, charge." Zhou Chang was not afraid either. He quickly threw away the crossbow in his hand and picked up a spare crossbow with a string. Before he could aim, he suddenly heard a horse neighing.

The skinny guy in the front seat yelled, "Not good..."

The guards who followed him shouted at the same time: "Oh no! It's a tripwire! Protect His Highness!"

As the crowd shouted, Zhou Chang felt as if the world was turning upside down, and then he fell heavily out of the chariot.

The battlefield is full of dangers.

Zhou Chang didn't give himself time to think, he got up from the ground and shouted, "Why are you all surrounding me? Come on, come on together."

Because the chariot was carrying three boxes of gold, which was really heavy, the horses tripped and the chariot fell over.

The skinny monkey rushed over and pulled Zhou Chang to the side of the chariot to provide cover.

The soldiers in charge of guarding surrounded Zhou Chang, forming a human wall, but did not charge forward.

It might not be a big deal if they couldn't win the battle, but if Prince Yi got lost on the battlefield, they would all be held responsible.

"Hurry... open the box." Zhou Chang ordered the guards not to move, so he could only order the skinny monkey.

The skinny monkey pulled out the steel knife hanging on his waist and cut the rope on the box with one stroke.

Zhou Chang took out a gold brick from it and threw it towards Xi Yekuo: "Kill him. Kill Xi Yekuo and I will reward you with ten thousand taels of gold."

Gold is a temptation to the enemy and an incentive to our side.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Several gold bricks fell to the ground.

People gradually reacted and rushed towards Nishino Hiroshi.

The lieutenant general in charge of the escort was still shouting: "Protect His Highness, protect His Highness..."

Zhou Chang could no longer hear anything, and he smashed the gold bricks hard, moving forward with all his might.

The escorting lieutenant general had no choice but to lead his subordinates to guard and act as vanguard at the same time.

The soldiers would rush to wherever the gold bricks fell.

Gold bricks can bring their own magic.

No matter who it is, once they recognize that it is a 100% gold brick, their movements will become stiff.
