When the two of them flew out, they had just stabilized their bodies when they were hit by an arrow. The emperor did not dare to let go, he hugged Jin Xin and spun around to avoid the arrow.
There really is an ambush in the woods.
As soon as the carriage ran less than a hundred meters away, an explosion was heard. The carriage was blown up instantly, and the two of them were affected by the fire. Fortunately, the emperor was tall and had Jin Xin in front of him. Although there was a aftermath, it did not have much impact. .
There are actually gunpowder cannons. It seems that the remnants of the vassal state have been plotting for a long time.
As the thunder ceased, arrows emerged from the jungle ahead. Just as the servant got up, he was shot through the chest by an arrow and fell down immediately.
Gu Zhao pulled off his cloak, twirled to block the arrows, and rushed to the two of them.
Fortunately, the emperor was very skilled and had fought on the battlefield. Facing these scenes, he did not panic at all. He grabbed Jin Xin and went to the rear. Gu Zhao acted as a cover and finally allowed the two of them to find the bunker smoothly. Gu Zhao also went smoothly. Hidden behind a stone.
There was only about ten steps between the two positions. The cavalry in the rear was held back by the remnants of the feudal lord, and the infantry was unable to catch up for a while.
At the moment, Gu Zhao can only think of a way to let the two of them escape.
The emperor looked calm and listened to the surroundings with his ears raised. The enemy was in the dark and they were in the light. It was difficult to determine the position for a while, so the two sides were still in a stalemate.
Gu Zhao picked up the stone and threw it out. The arrow flew out instantly and stuck in the ground.
Accurate archery.
Jin Xin took out the crossbow in her hand and looked at Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao understood and nodded. His archery skills were very accurate and his ears were sensitive. He could basically determine the location of the arrow just now, but he didn't have the tools at hand. .
The hand crossbow can only cause strong damage within fifty steps. Beyond fifty steps, the farther away it becomes, the weaker it becomes.
But at least it can hurt people.
The emperor looked at the crossbow and asked, "Why do you carry this thing with you?"
"My eldest brother gave it to me, saying it was for hunting, but I didn't use it." Jin Xin said lightly. As she spoke, she wanted to tear off her sleeves, tie up the crossbowman and the crossbow arrows, and throw them together.
But the emperor held her hand and said, "I am not dead yet. You are a woman and your clothes are damaged. When the time comes to go back, the minister will see you. Do you still want this reputation?"
As he spoke, he took the crossbow and tore off his outer robe. Jin Xin was shocked, "Your Majesty, this is a dragon robe!"
"It's just a piece of clothing, no need to make a fuss about it." The emperor said nonchalantly, and then tied the crossbow hand and crossbow arrows.
A dragon robe is worth a lot of money. It is made entirely of gold threads. Needless to say, the materials are expensive. However, it takes a year to make one piece of this dress. There must be no mistakes or omissions in the lines. Every silk thread must be Strict screening, every step is very cumbersome.
These are all external, but the dragon robe must not be damaged starting from the upper body. When it is replaced, the embroiderer must check whether it is intact every day. This is a symbol of the emperor's longevity and boundless life. Damaged clothes are the dragon's body. lossy.
So she only thought of tearing her clothes off from the beginning, instead of letting the emperor think of something.
Watching the emperor throw the crossbowman out, the arrow was fired again and hit the crossbowman, but the crossbowman still fell and hit Gu Zhao not far away, so he just picked it back with his sword.
"Jin Xin, after a while Gu Zhao kills the main archers, I will get up and go to the next bunker. They will definitely attack me by then. You should take advantage of the opportunity to run back and don't look back. Do you understand?" The emperor grabbed Holding her shoulder, he looked at her seriously, his eyes were foggy, and he was a little discouraged.
The cavalry was pinned down, and the infantry was too slow to catch up.
Jin Xin was stunned. Seeing him being so nervous about herself, she didn't know what to do.
In such a critical moment, she allowed herself to escape first.
She still remembers that on the day he established the crown prince, the rebel king led troops to attack the city. She was caught by the rebel ministers and threatened him, but he did not compromise and even became more arrogant. She hated him at that time.
Now faced with such a choice again, he finally chose himself.
Jin Xin closed her eyes heavily, feeling complicated and filled with emotions.
Seeing her with such a heavy expression, the emperor thought that she was worried about him, and felt happy in his heart. He was even more determined to use his body to lure the enemy and let her leave safely.
"Listen to me, I'm not that useless. I will definitely come back to you and your child safely."
Jin Xin sighed deeply, feeling reluctant to let go at this moment. She clutched his arm tightly, "Your Majesty..."
"Don't say any more, I understand. You have me in your heart, and so do I."
While the two were talking, Gu Zhao had loaded up his crossbow and looked towards the emperor. The emperor had a tacit understanding with him. He had been on the battlefield, so he naturally knew the strategy of attacking in the east and in the west.
The emperor went to the next bunker and asked the archers to attack him. Gu Zhao then took advantage of the situation and attacked, killing the most powerful one. The rest would naturally come out to kill if they couldn't stand it any longer.
The emperor is best at close combat, and Gu Zhao is not bad at it.
Looking for a chance to survive, this is it.
"Jin Xin, if you are worried about what I said, just run and meet the infantry team. You will be safe, you know?" The emperor was worried and told her again.
Jin Xin nodded vigorously, her eyes firm.
The emperor looked at Gu Zhao. The two communicated in sign language. Jin Xin could not understand it, but she also knew that it should be a communication with specific tactical gestures on the battlefield. The two communicated and reached a consensus.
Then, the emperor took off the dragon crown and threw it into the sky. The leading archer immediately fired. Gu Zhao took the opportunity to come out and shoot a shot.
A muffled groan was heard on the other end, followed by the sound of sparse walking in the grass, followed by a volley of arrows, but the three of them did not move.
The emperor took this moment to get up and go to the next bunker, and Jin Xin also took this moment to quickly get up and escape.
The archers mainly dealt with the emperor, and there were not many people to deal with Jin Xin. Gu Zhao also came out with him, using his crossbow to block the arrows, which distracted a lot of the opponent's attention. It was exactly like this that the two of them cooperated, and finally Buying Jin Xin time, she ran and hid behind another rock.
The emperor also went to the next bunker smoothly, but Gu Zhao was at their original location.
The hand crossbow only injured a few people, but it was too far away and not powerful enough to kill anyone.
Several cavalrymen came in front. Jin Xin took a closer look and saw that they were not the cavalrymen of the Celestial Dynasty, but the remnants of the vassal state.
The cavalry did not stop them...
Jin Xin looked at the emperor hastily. The emperor also saw the cavalry coming over there. His eyes were wide open and his fists were clenched.
When Gu Zhao saw this, he immediately stood up and fired arrows again.
The emperor quickly got up, went to Jin Xin's side, pulled her up, and went into the woods next to her without hesitation.
Jin Xin opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Zhao trapped in place.
Attacked from both sides, he will die.
But his mission was to protect the emperor, so he could only do this. Jin Xin looked over there worriedly, but knew that she couldn't help, so she had no choice but to stop holding him back.
Let the emperor pull him into the woods.
