Although what Yuwen Chengchao brought was not a tiger cavalry, but a bodyguard from the Hou Mansion.
Although these guards were caught off guard by the surprise attack, they were well-trained and their response to the surprise attack was much better than that of the Tiger Cavalry.
No one would have thought that there was an ambush in the woods.
Although five or six people were attacked by the enemy and killed by arrows, the remaining seven people responded quickly. The four guards had drawn their swords from their sheaths, like four evil wolves, and rushed straight into the forest, while the remaining
However, the three of them had already moved quickly towards the old Marquis.
Encountering an enemy attack, Yuwen Chengchao would naturally not think about entangled with these assassins. The top priority was to lead the old marquis out of danger.
He did not hesitate, picked up the old marquis, and rushed to his horse. The three guards acted as a human wall to protect the old marquis and Yuwen Chengchao. Hearing the sound of killing coming from the forest, he naturally rushed into the forest.
The guards and assassins fought against each other.
Yuwen Chengchao put the old marquis on the horse, and he also got on the horse. The three guards also quickly got on the horse. Just as one guard got on the horse, another cold arrow shot out from the forest and penetrated the guard's neck.
Yuwen Chengchao shook the horse's reins and urged the horse to go east. The two guards ignored their companions in the forest and patted their horses to follow.
The horse was like flying, and in the blink of an eye it had already galloped for several miles. Suddenly, Yu Wen Chengchao sat down on his horse and stood alone. However, Yu Wen Chengchao suddenly reined in the horse and stopped while it was galloping.
On the road ahead, I saw more than a dozen riders blocking the way. The sky was dark, but the opponents were all wearing armor, and the swords in their hands were also shining with cold light.
"Wolf Rider!"
Yuwen Chengchao spit out two words.
The armors and attire of these dozen cavalrymen were clearly the wolf cavalry under the Zhen family.
Yiqiu slowly took a few steps forward, and the man immediately said loudly: "My surname is Tang, my name is Wuhen, I am the deputy commander of Langqi, I eat from the Zhen family, and I am loyal to Marquis Changxin." The blade pointed forward: "
Yuwen Chengchao, come and tell me, by whose hands did Marquis Changxin and the young master die?"
Two guards have already rushed forward to protect Yuwen Chengchao.
Yuwen Chengchao's face was solemn.
Although the news of the murder of the Zhen family father and son could not be concealed, few people knew about the old Marquis's visit to Beijing. Even when he left the city, it was before dawn and not many people saw him.
Even if someone saw him, except for the close confidants of the Yuwen family, no one else knew that the old marquis was going to Beijing.
But the Wolf Cavalry was lying in wait on the only way to Beijing.
Wolf Cavalry is loyal to the Zhen family. The Zhen family and his son were killed by the Yuwen family. It is natural for them to avenge the Zhen family and his son.
But after the Zhen family's father and son were killed, what the court had to do was to immediately control the Wolf Cavalry and prevent them from acting rashly.
General Black Feather is the chess player in this chess game. He used the Yuwen family to get rid of the Zhen family and his son. Logically speaking, he must have made arrangements in Zhen County in advance. At least Du Hongsheng, the governor of Zhen County, after the death of the Zhen family and his son,
He will immediately control the situation in Turtle City, and will also send people to issue orders to the Wolf Cavalry not to leave the camp, using the name Black Feather General, so that even the Wolf Cavalry will not dare to leave the camp without permission.
Although the old Marquis was attacked, perhaps he had seen many storms and waves in his life. He looked calm and said loudly: "The Zhen family father and son have surrendered to the enemy and treason, and have been executed. Do you want to avenge the traitors? Do you want to rebel?"
"To surrender to the enemy and treason?"
"You don't know the truth and are loyal to the Lord. I don't blame you." The old Marquis said solemnly: "If you return to the camp immediately and wait for the imperial court's decree, it will not be too late."

Tang Wuhen laughed and said: "What we serve is the rice bowl of the Zhen family. We can't control whether Marquis Changxin is loyal to the court, but if we eat other people's food, we must be loyal to the Zhen family. Old Marquis Yuwen, Changxin
Marquis died in your hands. Since you know that we want to avenge Marquis Changxin, there is no need to talk nonsense. I think that I am old and a well-known figure in Xiling. If I give you a chance to commit suicide, you really don't dare to do it yourself.
, you can ask your son to help you, if you don’t even dare, then we can only do it for you.”
Yu Wen Chengchao sneered and said: "Tang Wuhen, you really think highly of yourself, how can you, just a few of you, try to block my way, Yu Wen Chengchao?" Knowing that there was no chance of fighting with these wolf riders, he shouted sharply.
, already urging the horse forward.
The two guards also shouted in unison, clapped their horses and rushed forward with swords drawn.
Tang Wuhen waved his long sword, and the knights behind him did not hesitate and rushed forward like wolves and tigers.
Although the wolf riders have the advantage in numbers, Yu Wen Chengchao is not afraid of them. He is extremely brave and has a sword-like gaze, but he has already made up his mind. He only needs to break through the group of wolf riders without getting entangled with these people.
It is important to get rid of these wolf riders and save the old marquis.
More than a dozen wolf riders rushed forward, and two cavalry guards took the lead in engaging the wolf riders.
The Wolf Cavalry is the elite cavalry of the Zhen family, and the two guards are also good players of the Yuwen family. They were selected by Yuwen Chengchao to escort the old marquis to the capital. These two guards are naturally not weak, and they can use their swords quickly and ruthlessly.
Li, even though he is outnumbered and outnumbered, he is not at a disadvantage.
Yu Wen Chengchao's sword was even more fierce. A wolf rider swung his sword to chop him. The sword was still an arm's length away from Yu Wen Chengchao. Yu Wen Chengchao's sword had already hit the man's waist, and the man screamed.
With a sound, Yu Wencheng raised the sword upwards, and cut the man's neck amidst his screams.
The two guards were guarding Yuwen Chengchao on the left and right, not daring to go too far away. The sound of swords clashing between the two sides was endless.
Although there were many wolf riders, Yuwen Chengchao was too brave and there was nothing a dozen of them could do to stop Yuwen Chengchao.
Suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. Yu Wen Chengchao forced a wolf rider away with a sword, and looked back. In the dusk, he saw a dense group of people appearing from behind. In addition to a group of cavalry, there were more than a dozen archers on foot.
He was galloping behind the cavalry.
Yuwen Chengchao felt a chill in his heart.
He knew that this group of people must be the ambush soldiers who had been ambushing in the forest just now. In order to protect the old marquis from escaping, the four guards rushed into the woods and met the ambush soldiers in close combat. At this moment, these ambush soldiers caught up from behind, and the four guards who rushed into the forest naturally
It's more bad than good.
The ambush soldiers caught up, and Yu Wen Chengchao knew that the opponent was heavily outnumbered. Once the group of people surrounded, it would be extremely difficult to break through, so he shouted sternly: "Charge over." He slashed forward with a big knife in his hand, with great force.
Shen, those wolf riders saw the ferocity of Yu Wen Chengchao's sword, and knew that if they were hit by Yu Wen Chengchao's sword, they would almost certainly die.
The two guards were tightly entangled by the wolf knight.
Tang Wuhen saw that his Wolf Cavalry did not dare to confront Yuwen Chengchao, and seemed a little anxious. He shouted loudly, rushed forward, and slashed at Yuwen Chengchao with his sword, but instead of attacking Yuwen Chengchao, he slashed straight at Old Marquis Yuwen.
.
Old Marquis Yuwen's face changed slightly. How could Yuwen Chengchao let Tang Wuhen hurt the old Marquis? He raised his broadsword from bottom to top, with full strength, he pushed Tang Wuhen's broadsword away, and then swung it over again.
Tang Wuhen hurriedly raised his knife to block, and with a "choking" sound, Yuwen Chengchao's blade slashed at the back of Tang Wuhen's knife. Sparks flew everywhere. Fortunately, Tang Wuhen was strong and blocked Yuwen with all his strength.
Since Chengchao's sword is like this,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The strength of Yuwen Chengchao's attack also made Tang Wuhen's jaw go numb.
Yuwen Chengchao did not get entangled with Tang Wuhen. He patted his horse and left. He looked back and saw that the two guards had been surrounded by more than a dozen cavalry. He knew that if he turned back to save him, no one would survive.
, gritted his teeth, shook the horse's reins, and rushed eastwards.
Hearing a sudden horse neighing, Yu Wen Chengchao was shocked and felt his body fly forward. At the critical moment, he thought of the old marquis and held him in his arms. The two of them flew forward from the horse.
But the horse beneath him has fallen into the trap.
The wolf rider actually dug a pit for the horse in advance. There were wooden stakes nailed into the pit. After the horse fell, the wooden stakes penetrated the body of the war horse. The horse struggled and neighed in the pit, which was terrible to watch.
When Yu Wencheng landed, he tried his best to turn around and land on his back. With the old Marquis leaning behind him, the damage suffered when he landed would naturally be much less.
Although Yu Wen Chengchao was strong, when he fell to the ground, his back was in great pain, his internal organs were rolling, and golden flowers appeared in front of his eyes.
But at this time, life and death were at stake, so he asked: "Father, how are you...how are you?"
However, the old Marquis also coughed violently, rolled away from Yuwen Chengchao with great force, and said urgently: "Chengchao, Chengchao...!"
"Don't worry, I...I'm fine." Yu Wen Chengchao sat up and felt his throat was sore. He knew that he was seriously injured by the heavy fall, but he didn't dare to spurt out blood and forced himself.
After suppressing the pressure, I also understood why those wolf riders just didn't fight with me. It wasn't because they didn't dare to fight to the death with me, but they deliberately let me break out and fell into the trap they dug in advance.
Inside the pit.
When the wolf cavalry saw that Yu Wen Cheng had fallen into the trap, they all cheered. They had already heard Tang Wuhen shouting: "His horse is gone. Don't let them escape. Kill them!"
The ambush soldiers chasing from the woods plus the wolf cavalry blocking here totaled thirty or forty people. When Tang Wuhen heard Tang Wuhen's cry, except for the cavalry who were fighting with the two guards, the others
Just like a group of tigers and wolves that have discovered their prey, they rush towards it.
Without the war horses, the situation is even more dangerous.
Yuwen Chengchao did not hesitate, squatted down with his back and said to the old marquis: "Father, come up quickly, I will carry you on my back."
"Chengchao, please leave quickly and don't worry about me." When the old marquis saw the pursuers coming over there, he said sternly: "Take me with you, neither of us will survive. Leave quickly, leave quickly."
Naturally, Yuwen Chengchao could not leave the old Marquis alone. He came over and pulled the old Marquis onto his back without any explanation, got up and ran away.
The sky was dark, and Yuwen Chengchao saw a forest not far ahead. He knew that the only way to survive was to rush into the woods with the old marquis on his back. After entering the woods, these cavalrymen could not exert their strength. Taking advantage of the dark sky, he and the old marquis
I may not be able to escape death.
Although his chest was rolling and his blood was not smooth, he still carried the old Marquis on his back, spread his legs, and ran straight into the woods ahead.
His life was at stake. Although he was carrying people on foot, he was still as fast as the wind.
But human legs are not as fast as horse legs. The cavalry behind them rode across the horse pit, galloping like the wind. Yu Wen Chengchao heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, and even heard the sound of arrows being fired. He could not look back for a moment.
Asked loudly: "Father, how are you?"
"Don't worry about me...!" Old Marquis also said with all his strength: "My child, it was me who caused... you to death...!"
