Chapter 878 The Queen and Escape

On the desolate snow field in the middle of the night, two military camps, which were only a few miles apart, showed an extremely strange contrast at this time, one was still and one was moving, one was killing, and one was silent and quiet, just as if the two camps were in two completely different planes and space.

But if someone really approached the Hu Ben military camp, which was still dark and only a few bonfires crackling, they would be surprised to find that there was already a strong battle there, with thousands of imperial guards in their hands, and their bows and crossbows, guarding the surroundings of the military camp like iron barrels. If an assassin dared to hit him, he could be shot into hedgehogs after a hundred steps away.

Of course, such a tight line of defense cannot be achieved overnight. It is not even possible to be urgently mobilized after the camp on Gao Qiu's side. It must have been the deployment arrangements made shortly after dark. But even so, when Gao Qiu's camp was attacked, it was still quiet and there was no reaction.

On the hill behind the barracks, which was not too high, more than ten people climbed up to look into the distance. With the telescope with night vision in their hands, Sun Tu had already seen the chaotic battle situation there, and muttered a few words as if he was sighing: "I didn't expect that Gao Qiu was wary of it, but he was not in the central army's tent, but he avoided this assassin. But he didn't know who he was guarding against for this arrangement... These assassins were indeed capable and thoughtfully, and they even arranged a lot of supporters outside..."

In the military camp, which was reflected by the firelight in front of the light and darkness, the battle has become increasingly chaotic.

Originally, those assassins were really likely to be surrounded by the imperial guards who had reacted. After all, they had too few people into the camp, and they had no experience in stealing the camp, and did not set fire to disrupt the entire military camp. Of course, this may also be because they did not want to attract thousands of officials on the other side soon. Anyway, as the imperial guards continued to attack from the surrounding camp tents, the pace of these assassins breaking through the siege became more and more difficult.

It was also a blessing that the three of them were the first to make the leader of the steel fork and the two men who rushed to fight with swords strong enough martial arts. It was difficult for ordinary soldiers to pose too much threat to them, so that they would not be completely surrounded and killed. However, as the number of officials continued to increase, almost three layers inside and outside, swords and guns kept calling them, and these assassins continued to fall down, and finally they were completely intercepted at more than ten steps away from the camp.

At this time, cold arrows suddenly shot from the dark outside the camp, and the imperial guards surrounding the assassins were attacked from behind. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen soldiers on the periphery screamed and fell down one after another. This immediately scared the others to hurry back and protect themselves, and could no longer go all out to siege and capture the assassins.

After seeing this scene, the man in the lead immediately shouted loudly, and the steel fork in his hand danced out numerous phantoms. With his hissing, he actually injured several people in front of him and forced the twenty soldiers in front of him to disperse to the side. A passage suddenly appeared. He immediately shouted loudly: "Don't entangle, fight out!" Then he took the lead again, and the fork rushed forward. When he rushed to the half-man-high wooden railing, he even shouted loudly. The steel fork swung out with all his strength, and the wood chips flew away, and he smashed a hole in the wooden railing and rushed out quickly.

More than ten other people followed closely, flew out of the camp, then turned toward the hillside on the other side. But before they could run two steps, an order came from behind: "Shoot the arrow!" However, Gao Qiu, who was in the tent, did not bother to catch any survivors after learning that the assassin was about to escape, ordered to kill him.

Suddenly, the sound of strings scattered, and the sound of hundreds of sharp arrows almost covered up the whistling of the north wind. The assassins who were about to escape quickly felt their scalp numb. Without thinking about it, they all rushed into the snow ahead.

Thanks to their reactions being quick and straightforward enough. As long as they take a step late, the rain of arrows coming from the sky can shoot into their backs. As for this, except for two or three who were not lucky, they were still injured by the falling arrows, everyone else was unscathed.

But this approach also had a great disadvantage. This pounce completely interrupted their momentum of running for all their might. The officers and soldiers behind did not need to stop and rushed forward viciously. At the same time, the archers behind quickly raised their bows and kept shooting arrows into the darkness around, suppressing the bows and arrows of the assassin accomplices hidden in the darkness.

Seeing the officers and soldiers who were ten times more than themselves rushing toward each other, the eyes of the people who had just risen up from the snow were not aware of a terror. If they escaped again, they would only die faster. So they bit their teeth and shouted angrily, but instead of retreating, and even waved their weapons to kill them again, and immediately fought with the first wave of imperial guards in front of the camp.

Since these people dared to come to the military camp to assassinate Gao Qiu, in addition to their deep hatred, they were also because they were very skilled and brave. They all had excellent skills. Even if everyone had to deal with more than four or five people, they could still support it. Especially the person in the leader, his steel fork was made like a dragon, flying in the air, and he could always hit the target from the crowd, killing the soldiers in front of him to retreat one after another.

However, they were at an absolute disadvantage in number. Faced with waves of attacks of officers and soldiers, their movements began to be slow, and then some people were injured or even fell down. At the same time, another team of officers and soldiers had bypassed from the side and launched a clamp attack on them from both sides.

At this moment, the leader knew that the situation was very bad. Although he and his two brothers had the ability to protect themselves, the others could not hold on. Moreover, some of the archers who were used to respond in the wilderness kept screaming, obviously they were injured by the dense rain of arrows from the officers and soldiers. If they were dragged down, they would be wiped out. After all, these brothers were just hunters, not real soldiers. If they fought several times the army, they would naturally suffer a great loss.

"Fourth brother, you take the others away first, the third brother and the fifth brother are blocking them!"

"Boss, you'll go..." The man who was named after the name hurriedly spoke, trying to persuade the leader to leave first, but the other party interrupted: "Where did you get this ability? This is an order, go!" As he said that, he had grown up and swept out the steel fork in his hand. After sweeping the two officers and soldiers in front of him fell, the others hurriedly retreated. He took the opportunity to pounce forward, roaring like a mad tiger. The steel fork thorned all his might in all directions, and blocked a large number of enemies.

The two swordsmen who had been following him were laughing loudly at this time, and the two swords rolled forward like wheels, cooperating with him to slash forward. In fact, they killed one or two hundred officers and soldiers in front of them, and retreated one or two hundred times, making it difficult to threaten others.

This scene fell into Sun Tu's eyes, who was observing with a telescope. Even he was still amazed: "It's really a rare general, it's a pity..." His personal bravery is not very useful in the formation of the two kings. He had actually understood this truth for a long time, but at the same time he didn't feel that he was jealous of talent. If these people could use it for themselves, they could temporarily solve the problem of insufficient talent at hand.

The variable happened at the same time as he sighed. After seeing these assassins so arrogant and fierce, the officers and soldiers there were finally completely angry. You know, Taiwei Gao was still watching them behind him. If they were really killed by only three of them and unable to fight back, these imperial soldiers would definitely be severely punished. So at that moment, with a call, dozens of archers suddenly turned around, and the dense rain of arrows rushed straight to the three of them.

After hearing the order, when the three of them saw the rain of arrows hit, they also changed their expressions. They shouted in unison, hurriedly withdrew their troops and retreated with all their strength to defend themselves. The steel fork and knife weaved a series of defense lines in front of them to resist the chaos of arrows.

But after all, arrows shot through the gaps and shot their bodies through the gaps. As soon as they were shot into their bodies, their movements would slow down, allowing more arrows to take advantage of the gaps. In an instant, the three of them hit seven or eight arrows in a row. With a terrifying hum, their steps were messy and their bodies were even more shaking.

The officers and soldiers who were suppressed by them before immediately counterattacked and killed each other again after seeing this. In just a few rounds, the three of them landed one after another and their necks were pointed at by swords and guns. If it weren't for the fact that Grand Marshal Gao had just ordered to live, I'm afraid that the three of them would have died.

However, their sacrifices in the palace were valuable. Because in this time, the other ten people had already fought their way out, rolled and climbed up the hill, and, with the help of their companions who were ambushing there, crossed the hill and ran to the darkness further away.

"Chasing me, don't let anyone go!" An officer was furious when he saw this. He urged him and chased forward. With such an absolute advantage in the army and almost surrounded him from all sides, he would be very guilty.

The other soldiers also had their usual thoughts, following them and rushed to the hill. But just as they were about to reach the top of the hill, the officer suddenly screamed, and then the people disappeared in front of everyone. This made everyone on the left and right stunned, but the steps under their feet did not stop. Then, the screams and screams immediately rang on the hill, and many people also suddenly disappeared.

It was not until this time that someone suddenly woke up: "Be careful, get a trap!" This made the people chasing behind quickly stop and lean forward carefully. Sure enough, they saw a large collapsed pit in the snow in front of them, with more than ten people falling into it. What's even more terrifying is that there were barbs buried below. After these robes fell into the pit about a foot deep, they were actually pierced through their bodies. Several of them were even pierced at the critical point, and they saw that they were not alive.
