Chapter 116 Intercepting food!
Fifty miles outside Kyoto City was a dense forest with only one official road in the middle for traffic.
A team slowly arrived here two days later. The leader was wearing black armor and holding a strange long sword. His face was red and his eyes were slightly narrowed, emitting a cold light that made people dare not look directly at him.
This person was none other than Guan Yun, who led the troops to transport food and fodder!
Two days ago, he was ordered to transport food with Chu Ning's guards and five thousand civilian workers, but because there was too much food, their progress was very slow.
It took two full days to travel only fifty miles. If this speed got out, it would definitely become a joke!
But Guan Yun was not in a hurry. Instead, he asked everyone to move forward slowly.
At this moment, night fell and the entire forest fell into darkness.
On the dark road, only this team with lit torches was moving slowly forward.
Then, with the faint light of the fire, Guan Yun looked around from time to time, but it was night and the woods were quiet, with nothing unusual happening.
At this time, Guan Yun suddenly waved his hand and shouted: "Pass the order down, rest here and set off tomorrow morning!"
The reason for the slow progress in the past two days was that we rested at night and only traveled during the day. Although it was called two days, in fact it was only twelve hours.
At the command, thousands of people rested along the road.
The team of thousands of people stretched for miles and looked very spectacular, but as the night progressed, snoring sounds could be heard one after another.
Soon, it was midnight and a sharp shout woke everyone up.
"kill!"
With a cry of "kill", a conspiracy in the darkness began.
Suddenly, countless masked men emerged from the surrounding woods, holding long swords and sharp knives, and rushed over like tigers descending from the mountains.
"If you don't want to die, get out now. Our goal is food!"
The leading man in black let out a long roar, which frightened the migrant workers and they retreated away one after another.
Guan Yun had no way to stop the migrant workers from leaving, so he could only snort coldly: "All brothers, gather together immediately!"
At the command, Chu Ning's guards quickly gathered.
The group of masked men who came to kill them sneered. Chu Ning's guards were only more than 2,000 people, while they had more than 3,000 people, and they had the advantage of a surprise attack. The advantage in this battle was on their side!
However, just as they were about to reach the official road, rows of sharp arrows whistled towards them.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, the sharp arrows were like death warrants, instantly killing a large number of masked men.
This scene made the leader's face change drastically. While waving his sword to resist, he said in disbelief:
"This...how is this possible!"
Looking at the densely packed sharp swords, the leader was shocked.
As far as he knew, although Chu Ning had formed an army of archers, there were only more than a thousand of them!
But now, with so many sharp arrows being shot here, it is impossible for the effect to be produced by a thousand people. Instead, it seems like a scene that can only be produced by three thousand people.
Are all of Chu Ning's other guards also equipped with bows and arrows?
Yes, that must be the case!
"Charge, charge down!" The masked leader shouted angrily and led the charge personally.
However, what greeted them was the second wave of sharp arrows.
Dense numbers of sharp arrows pierced the sky and clouds, like the devil from hell claiming lives. Wherever they passed, there was widespread grief.
Corpses continued to fall, the pungent smell of blood filled the entire forest, and the official road was slowly dyed red by blood.
"Damn it, why do they have so many sharp arrows!"
The masked man in the lead was Han Li, the centurion beside Zhao Feiyan. As a man who had experienced many battles, he could tell the approximate number of these sharp arrows at a glance.
At first he suspected that it was all the Chu Ning guards below who shot the arrows, but the speed of the second wave of arrows came too fast and it was impossible that they were shot by the previous group of people.
There is such a short time, there is no time to draw the arrow or draw the bow!
The only explanation is that there was a second wave of people shooting arrows!
But then a question arises. There are only more than 2,000 people under them, so why can they release so many sharp arrows?
Looking at his companions who kept falling around him, Han Ping gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Charge forward, we have more people, and they definitely won't have enough arrows!"
Anyway, most of these people were the prince of Great Chu, so he wouldn't feel sad if they died.
At the command, all the men in black charged again!
In order to boost morale, Han Ping led the charge, wielding his long sword to continuously block the incoming arrows.
The several Da Zhao soldiers following this man were also extremely brave. They formed a defense with Han Ping and rushed forward.
"Captain Guan, they are coming to kill us!" Someone noticed the actions of Han Ping and others.
Guan Yun's eyes turned cold: "You continue to shoot arrows, I will lead people to stop them!"
After he finished speaking, Guan Yun brought a dozen people and attacked Han Ping and others.
This group of people all held the same strange long sword as Guan Yun, and each of them was tall and muscular.
Han Ping and his men came charging at them. Because of the darkness, they could not see the weapons in their hands clearly. They only saw Guan Yun riding his horse towards them, and they could not help but sneer:
"As long as they kill this man, they will surely be defeated!"
After saying this, Han Ping led his men to charge forward!
Suddenly, the two sides collided violently like meteors hitting the ground.
However, as soon as the two sides came into contact, Guan Yun shouted angrily: "Cut!"
All the guards following behind him swung their swords fiercely and chopped down hard.
Han Ping and others only felt a darkness before their eyes, and a sword shadow as powerful as a blade fell from the sky.
"No, stay away!"
Han Ping was the first to react when he noticed the strangeness of the knife. He rolled on the ground and got out of the range of the knife shadow.
But other soldiers of the Great Zhao were not so lucky. Some of them raised their swords to resist, but were cut in half by the tremendous power of the Mo Dao!
Others wanted to dodge, but the speed at which the Mo Dao fell was too fast. Before their bodies could react, the Mo Dao had already cut their bodies in two!
Suddenly, red and white things scattered all over the ground, and internal organs gushed out one after another. The scene was extremely cruel!
Even Han Ping, a man who had seen the world, could not help but be stunned.
But this moment of hesitation gave Guan Yun time to shout, "Stab!"
They all stabbed out at the same time, and the three-meter-long swords pierced through the soldiers of the Great Chu who were rushing up from behind. They swung them left and right, and the corpses were thrown away like garbage.
This scene finally made Han Ping react.
This group of people is invincible!
"Come on, surround them, shoot, shoot now!"
Under Han Ping's command, the masked men retreated into the woods and blocked the official road for both advance and retreat.
Guan Yun sneered at this and said, "Do you think you can capture us by blocking the road? Humph, I have just sent someone to inform His Highness. I believe that His Highness will bring people to support him after receiving the news!"
Han Ping in the woods had a strange look in his eyes when he heard this.
Has someone reported the news?
Just the right time to lure Chu Ning out!
Tonight, Chu Ning will definitely die!
Although we cannot capture this group of people here, as long as the news of Chu Ning's death comes, the people here will definitely scatter like birds and beasts.
Chu Ning, ah Chu Ning, tonight is the day you die!
At this moment, Han Ping was already imagining the scene of his princess chopping off Chu Ning's head!
