Cen Tingbai was also very surprised.
Where did this secret guard appear from?
This is Xie Lingxi's person.
In the name of Wanjin Trading Company, they transformed themselves into caravans and infiltrated into Belvedere in batches. They were elite personnel arranged to grab medicine.
"Young Master!" The leader, Chu Shu, saluted Xie Lingxi.
Xie Lingxi said, "Get out of the city!"
"yes!"
Chu Shu led the secret guards and fought with Xun Han's elite soldiers.
Xun Hanlu forgot that they still had an elite force, and they fought hand to hand. In the chaos, Xie Lingxi and his party rushed out of the city gate, fighting and running.
"We can't let them leave!" Xun Han shouted urgently.
Today's ambush was set up, and some Zhennan troops in the city had already dealt with it due to their advance calculation...
However, the main force of the Zhennan Army was at the Zhennan Camp outside the city, near the barbarian stronghold, to defend the barbarians.
Once Cen Tingbai and others leave Belvedere and join the main force of Zhennan Camp, there will be trouble...
The Xun family army tried their best to stop him.
Xun Han quickly climbed up the tower.
Shenwu cannons have been prepared on the city wall for a long time. They were originally facing the direction of the inner city. At this time, they have adjusted their position in time and are facing several key targets outside the city.
"Fire the guns! Covered by arrows! Kill without mercy! Leave no one behind!" Xun Han shouted urgently.
He must let Cen Tingbai and Xie Lingxi die here. The dead cannot speak.
Otherwise, the news of his collusion with the barbarians will spread.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
The cannonballs fell from the tower and exploded a large area in an instant.
A cannonball landed in the direction of Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong. Xie Lingxi hugged Jiang Rong and flew away...
"boom!"
The two were blown over by the aftermath of the shell and fell to the ground.
Before he could get up, another overwhelming rain of arrows fell.
Xie Lingxi swung his sword to block, but his muscles and veins were injured by the explosion just now, and he could only raise seven percent of his internal energy. The sword shadow in his hand was slower than before, and in an instant, several arrows flew down. .
Xie Lingxi hugged Jiang Rong into his arms and blocked her figure with his body.
"Poof!" "Poof!"
Two arrows shot into Xie Lingxi's back.
"Husband!" Jiang Rong wanted to jump down anxiously.
"Don't move." Xie Lingxi hugged her and flew out. She had to fly out of the range of arrows and shells as soon as possible...
"Boom!" "Whoosh!"
Amidst the overwhelming rain of shells and arrows, everyone struggled to evacuate.
……
The elite soldiers patrolling Cen Tingbai outside the city were also dealt with in advance by Xun Han.
Fortunately, the group of people finally arrived at the Zhennan Army camp under the escort of the secret guards of Wanjin Trading Company.
Xie Lingxi, Jiang Rong and Cen Tingbai were the targets of concentrated artillery fire.
Cen Tingbai's eight personal guards all died. Although they sacrificed their lives to protect Cen Tingbai, he was hit by several arrows.
In the end, Jingzhe carried him and Chushu carried Xiao Nanxing and ran out.
Chen Guangzong and others were all injured, either hit by arrows or injured by shocks.
The general who was left behind to guard the Zhennan camp saw them and came up to them in shock.
"General Cen! What's wrong with you? What happened?" the guard asked anxiously.
Cen Tingbai was on the verge of coma due to the poison on the arrow clusters, so he held on for a breath and said:
"Xun Han colluded with the barbarians... you... ahem... listen to Xie Lingxi and Jiang Rong's arrangements first!"
After explaining, his eyes darkened and he fainted.
The guard hurriedly called the military officers to come over.
"Husband! How are you!" Jiang Rong looked at the two arrows behind Xie Lingxi's back worriedly.
Fortunately, the location of the injury was not critical, but the wound was dark and poisonous.
Xiao Nanxing was not seriously injured in the melee when he escaped just now, but was scratched by a stray arrow. He quickly came to check Xie Lingxi’s pulse and said:
"Okay, okay! There is an antidote to this poison. I'm going to prepare the antidote now."
Xie Lingxi hugged Jiang Rong all the way, as if nothing was wrong. Only when he arrived at the safe camp did he relax, and the toxins from the pressure spread rapidly.
"When I wake up, be careful and guard." Xie Lingxi reached out and gently held the little woman's soft hand.
After saying this to Jiang Rong, Xie Lingxi felt dizzy in her mind and closed her eyes.
……
Xiao Nanxing took the arrow for Xie Lingxi and boiled the medicine.
Jiang Rong stayed on the side the whole time, and when he saw the two bloody holes, his fists clenched.
The Xun family army did not dare to send troops over...
Because the two armies are about the same strength, Zhennan Camp is Cen Tingbai’s home ground, and they are not sure of being able to break through the camp...
"Cen Tingbai will definitely report today's matter to the imperial court..." A trace of annoyance flashed across Xun Han's face:
"What should we do? When did this secret guard enter the city? Even the patrols guarding the city didn't notice it!"
A middle-aged counselor beside him said in a deep voice: "General, don't worry. The rebels today are the barbarians and have nothing to do with you. We refuse to admit it. There are also the Duke and the Crown Prince over there to help negotiate, what can they do?" ?”
"Now we must expel the barbarians in the name of the Xun family army. Then accuse Cen Tingbai of failing to defend the city. Go and file a complaint first."
Xun Hanshen nodded in agreement, "What a great idea! No matter what Cen Tingbai says, just say that he framed me."
In order to "expel" this group of barbarians, the Xun army deliberately put on a show, and the two sides chased each other and fled to the city gate.
But the barbarians had just left the city gate.
But they saw an army coming from afar outside the door, blocking their way.
It's the Zhennan Army!
In the middle, there are several secret guards in black, guarding a woman.
The woman was wearing light armor, holding a bow and arrow in her hand, and said coldly: "Kill the barbarians!"
The Zhennan Army rushed out with a roar.
When the barbarians saw the Zhennan Army, they retreated to the city in fear...
They only dare to cooperate inside and outside to make sneak attacks, but they can never defeat them with real swords, real guns and open fire.
A face-to-face meeting.
He was beaten to a pulp by the Zhennan Army.
The poisonous scorpion was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "General Xun, help us quickly..."
Xun Han thought to himself, the main force of the Zhennan Army is here, and I am not stupid.
He ignored the poisonous scorpion and watched him die from random arrows. He watched the Zhennan Army suppress this barbarian tribe.
Just now, he pretended that nothing was wrong and greeted him with a smile:
"Why didn't you see General Cen and Prince Xie? I heard that you were attacked by barbarians..."
But Jiang Rong bent his bow and drew an arrow, aiming at his heart.
"Whoosh!" Xun Han fled in a hurry. He was too close and before he could run too far, the arrow hit his left arm.
"What are you doing? Attacking the deputy general of Zhennan, you are committing a serious crime!" The scribe next to Xun Han turned pale with fright, and his expression was fierce.
"You are fellow barbarians." Jiang Rong said coldly:
"Xun Han colluded with the barbarians, committed treason and rebellion, and he will be killed without mercy."
The Zhennan Army behind her rushed in after the order.
"Our two armies are about the same strength. You...you are losing both sides!" Xun Han panicked.
Jiang Rong just aimed at him and pulled out another arrow, "Who will lose with you?"
A steady stream of black-clad secret guards appeared on both sides of the city gate, and the leader was none other than Chu Shu. This was what he had called for urgently just now.
Xie Lingxi came here to get medicine, how could he not bring enough people.
It's only a small part of the city, and it's easy to attract attention if there are many people. The large troops he had secretly prepared were all outside the city, and they had been summoned urgently just now.
They were now two men, two against one.
