"It is said that General Leisuo failed to attack the enemy camp and was wounded by an arrow while retreating. The morale of the army was shattered, resulting in the defense line being broken through by the enemy's Fujia Brigade.
Now the Sixth Army has been completely disorganized and cannot organize any effective counterattack!"
The adjutant said.
"It's over..." Everyone looked at each other.
Without the Sixth Army, without the Fulong Mountains, the army was defeated like a mountain, and the imperial capital was in danger! It seemed that the golden cicada's escape plan would not work if it was not implemented! One day later, when the army of the Dachu people came to the imperial capital, the royal family's
The convoy was already running wildly on the road to Greenfield City.
However, at a fork in the road, the convoy split into two parts. One part continued along the road to the Eastern Province in the southeast, and the other part made a circle and headed toward the Western Province in the southwest.
The two convoys have about the same number of vehicles and about the same number of escorts. At least from the appearance, no one knows which convoy the royal family is hiding in.
In fact, except for the real core generals, even the guards of the convoy did not know whether there were members of the royal family on the vehicles they were protecting.
However, everyone was immersed in the sadness that the imperial capital was about to fall and the expectation of escaping as soon as possible, but no one wanted to think too much about this issue.
The passage leading to Greenfield City has long been crowded with people. These are civilians from the northern provinces. When the war first started, they fled south with their families, hoping to find a peaceful place to stay.
Come down.
It now appears that their choice was undoubtedly a wise one.
If they delayed their escape until now, perhaps they would not have escaped from the northern boundary when the Chu people captured the imperial capital.
Even if they started to flee in advance, they were still easily passed by the convoy.
Even in the era of war and chaos, the powerful still have more conveniences than ordinary people. At least they can escape faster! "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
There were ten cavalrymen in front of the convoy, riding tall horses. Although they looked a little tired and embarrassed due to the dust, they were still very majestic compared with the ordinary people with flat heads who were running for their lives.
Hearing the scolding of the cavalry, the civilians immediately hid on the roadside in panic.
These days, the empire has become a mess. Nobles from all walks of life are constantly increasing their troops to protect themselves. Groups of thieves, large and small, have emerged in many places. Killing people with knives has become a common occurrence.
The cavalry did not wear imperial uniforms, but looked more like vicious bandits, giving people the impression that they would be directly hacked to death if they did not avoid them.
The common people just want peace, so of course they will stay far away.
With the cavalry clearing the way, the royal convoy moved forward very fast, almost quickly surpassing a large wave of fleeing teams, and the front became open.
The guard captain Wang Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the crowd being thrown away. When there were so many people just now, his nervous palms were sweating, fearing that there might be some evildoer hidden in the crowd.
In the entire convoy, including him, only less than twenty people knew that in the fourth carriage of the convoy, there was the empress dowager and the young emperor of the empire hidden.
And these twenty insiders are all elites from the Six Sects and the military, and each of them is a cultivator.
Most of them were disguised as ordinary soldiers, following the guards and walking silently in the convoy, forming a faint protective circle, protecting the surroundings of the fourth carriage impregnably.
In terms of combat effectiveness, these people are probably the strongest team in the empire, and all of them are top figures.
It was their presence that made Wang Song feel more at ease.
I looked ahead and saw that within a few kilometers there was a flat road with no trace of people.
According to the current speed, it is estimated that we will be able to enter the territory of the Eastern Province in the evening, which will not be far from Greenfield City.
In fact, if they hadn't changed directions several times, changed their outfits several times, and sent some troops out on the side roads in order to deceive others, they should have entered the eastern province long ago.
However, when setting off, the regent warned us not to be afraid of being slow, but to be afraid of danger.
The royal family is in the convoy, so safety is the top priority in everything. I would rather suffer more and travel less to ensure the safety of the royal family.
Wang Song sent two more scouts to the front to explore the road, and then checked it from beginning to end. It was obvious that many guards had tired looks on their faces.
From the beginning to now, no one has had any rest. They just eat a bite of dry food when they are hungry, drink a few sips of water when they are thirsty, and add some pills when they feel sleepy.
Although everyone is a carefully selected elite, marching with this intensity is nothing, but the nervous tension caused by having to deal with emergencies at any time is more disturbing and tiring. In fact, as
As we get closer and closer to the eastern provinces, everyone's nerves gradually relax, and the feeling of fatigue comes up like a tide, which cannot be suppressed no matter how hard it is.
"Cheer up, we are about to enter the east. We will receive support then. If you want to sleep, you can have a good sleep then!"
Wang Song shouted.
The guards all showed a hint of joy when they heard this, and they gathered their spirits and continued to move forward.
Just as they cheered up and moved forward, about three kilometers ahead, on a hill not too far from the main road, some people were busy making preparations.
A clearing was cleared in the jungle on the top of the hill. Seven black iron guys were placed there. The thick black holes pointed straight into the sky, as if they would spew out terrifying anger at any time.
Talisman array artillery! And there are seven Talisman array cannons! The muzzles of the seven Talisman array cannons were pointed in the direction that the royal convoy must pass. Soon after, when the royal convoy passed by, the seven Talisman array cannons came together.
The roar will definitely cause terrible damage, and may even directly bury the little emperor and the queen mother in the sea of fire! "The signal is coming, they are almost here."
A man who looked like a leader whispered, "Everyone, get ready!"
A group of subordinates immediately started busy preparations. Some inlaid spiritual crystals, others activated the circuits of the talisman array, and the cannons were turned on, making a "click" sound.
Several gunners sat in front of the talisman artillery, nervously adjusting the shooting angle. Some were responsible for level shooting and attacking the most important targets, some were responsible for high-altitude bombing and creating chaos, and some were responsible for indiscriminate coverage and maximizing the damage.
Although there are only seven artillery pieces, the division of labor and cooperation are very clear. At first glance, they are no ordinary attackers.
"Lord Apostle, there is still no news from the bishop, what should I do?"
