Chapter 162: The Prince has an order to prepare to break through
In just a few dozen breaths, three thousand black-armored guards were quickly gathered.
Chen Qingzhi looked at the three thousand black-armored guards in front of him, feeling extremely reluctant to make such an impulsive decision.
But he couldn't just watch Chen Changfeng die in this Xiantian Canyon.
"Soldiers, His Royal Highness and our two thousand brothers are in dire straits. The main force is entangled by the Chu army. To save people, we can only rely on ourselves now."
"We are very likely to lose everything in this battle. If you are afraid, you can choose to leave now. I, Chen Qingzhi, promise not to hold anyone responsible." Chen Qingzhi's voice rang in the ears of the three thousand black-armored guards.
No one spoke, and no one left.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Qingzhi.
"Very good. His Highness the Crown Prince did not misjudge you. You are true warriors."
"I, Chen Qingzhi, swear that if I cannot save the prince, I will leave my life outside this canyon." Chen Qingzhi showed determination on his face.
"If we cannot save the prince, we are willing to leave our lives outside this canyon." The black-armored soldiers suddenly shouted in unison.
Chen Qingzhi had no intention of asking all the soldiers to express their stance together, but the unanimous voice of the black-armored soldiers made him feel extremely inspired.
With so many like-minded friends who risk their lives, what else does Chen Qingzhi have to fear?
"Everyone mount up and prepare to charge!" Chen Qingzhi shouted.
…
"General, the black armored guards seem to be gathering their troops and are preparing to attack our camp." Wen Liang also received the news immediately.
Wen Liang's face changed slightly, and a moment later his face showed joy again.
Knowing that he was leading 5,000 Overlord troops and 5,000 infantrymen here, Chen Qingzhi actually wanted to attack his camp.
Obviously Chen Qingzhi couldn't wait any longer.
Only when Chen Changfeng and the others were out of supplies would Chen Qingzhi be desperate.
In this way, if they were blocked for a few more days, Chen Changfeng and the two thousand black-armored guards would starve to death in the canyon.
"Why are you panicking? Order the infantry to push all the resisting horses out of the camp. The Overlord Army will mount their horses immediately. As long as they dare to come, they will all be left behind." Wen Liang said coldly and walked out of the camp.
The Ninth Prince had changed into a suit of armor and was riding on his war horse with a happy face.
"General Wen, that Chen Qingzhi is so desperate. It seems that the people in the canyon are out of supplies."
"In this battle, I am holding the line for General Wen. General Wen cannot lose." The Ninth Prince looked at Wen Liang with a smile.
Without saying a word, Wen Liang got on his horse and headed straight for the battlefield ahead.
From a distance, Wen Liang saw a black-clad and black-armored guard standing three miles away.
Wen Liang showed no signs of worry. As long as the black-armored guards dared to attack, he would have a way to keep them all here.
If Chen Qingzhi had not taken any action, Wen Liang could only wipe out the two thousand black-armored guards in the canyon at most.
But if Chen Qingzhi seeks his own death, don't blame him for annihilating all the black armored guards.
"Pass my order, the hook, sickle, and spear must keep an eye on the hooves of their war horses. You must..."
"General, Chen Qingzhi and the others seem to have retreated." Wen Liang was giving orders when suddenly the general beside him pointed forward and told him that Chen Qingzhi had retreated.
Wen Liang looked into the distance, and sure enough, Chen Qingzhi led the black-armored guards back.
"What's going on?" Wen Liang frowned.
…
"Chen Qingzhi, what do you want to do?" Liu Shuwen kicked Chen Qingzhi hard in the Heijiawei camp.
Liu Shuwen came for this trip with only a few followers.
He was just worried that Chen Qingzhi would make a desperate move and lead the remaining black-armored guards to attack the Overlord's camp.
If we really do that, these three thousand black-armored guards will have to be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Liu Shuwen arrived in time. If it had been any slower, the Black Armored Guards would really have been wiped out.
"The prince is trapped, I can't just watch them die in the canyon." Chen Qingzhi lowered his head, with a look of determination on his face.
"Bastard." Liu Shuwen was even more annoyed: "Then are you going to lead the soldiers of the Black Armor Guard to die?"
"We are not going to die, we are going to save His Highness the Crown Prince. Even if we die, we cannot leave the Crown Prince in the canyon." The black-armored soldiers nearby said in unison.
Liu Shuwen was slightly stunned. He didn't know how Chen Changfeng got these black-armored soldiers to listen to him so much.
He was even willing to annihilate his entire army to save Chen Changfeng.
But he, Liu Shuwen, is the commander-in-chief of the army, and he absolutely cannot allow the Ming Dynasty's most elite troops to be destroyed here.
"I don't care what you think. From now on, no one is allowed to step out of the camp without my order. Violators will be executed on the spot."
"Chen Qingzhi, come in with me." Liu Shuwen left harsh words and called Chen Qingzhi into the camp.
In the camp, Liu Shuwen stared at Chen Qingzhi and said nothing for a long time.
Chen Qingzhi lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
There were only two people in the world that he admired the most, one was his master Huo Qubing, and the other was Liu Shuwen in front of him.
Being beaten and scolded by Liu Shuwen, Chen Qingzhi did not dare to complain.
"Why did the prince enter the canyon? You didn't even send out scouts." After a long time, Liu Shuwen slowly spoke.
Liu Shuwen thought, no matter how inexperienced Chen Changfeng was, Chen Qingzhi should not be without any reminders.
They watched helplessly as Chen Changfeng and the others stepped into the trap.
"His Highness said that he thought this was an ambush by the enemy, and he wanted to put himself in danger to deal with Da Chu..."
"So? What is his solution?"
"Let the huge boulder block the escape route, and then starve to death inside?" Liu Shuwen frowned.
This is obviously an immature idea.
If Da Chu ambushed him, wouldn't it be better if he just didn't go?
How is it now?
Trapped yourself in?
Then take half of the black-armored guards?
"His Highness said that day that if I heard a loud explosion, I would immediately send troops to attack Da Chu's camp, but..." Chen Qingzhi did not dare to hide anything.
He has never been able to figure out why Chen Changfeng said such things to him at that time.
explode?
Where did the explosion come from?
"What explosion?" Liu Shuwen was also puzzled.
"The prince had previously obtained some thunderbolts from the Jiangling Arms Supervisor. They were useless things that only made noise. The explosion may be due to this, but..."
"That's enough." Liu Shuwen was impatient now.
Even if Chen Changfeng had some thunderous signal and asked Chen Qingzhi to lead his troops to attack, what would be the point of this?
With 5,000 Overlord troops and 10,000 Chu infantry, the 3,000 black-armored guards would not be able to break into this camp alone.
How to fight this?
"From today on, no one in the Black Armored Guards is allowed to touch without my order..."
"What should the prince do?" Chen Qingzhi asked immediately.
Liu Shuwen was silent, with a look of struggle flashing in his eyes. After a long time, he said: "The safety of the Ming Dynasty is above all else."
At night, the Chu army outside the canyon was stationed in the camp.
Everyone has a smile on their face. In a few days, when the Ming Prince and the two thousand black-armored guards in the canyon are dead, they will all have done a great job.
There will certainly be no shortage of huge rewards.
Inside the canyon, two thousand black-armored guards leaned against the wall, each with a heavy look of worry on their faces.
It's been two days, and their rations have been exhausted. Despite the knocking noise, they haven't cleared away the boulders at all.
If this continues, someone will definitely starve to death in two days.
But now, they have nothing to do.
"The prince has an order, everyone mounts their horses and prepares to break out." Suddenly an order came, making everyone froze on the spot.
