The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1188

[1188. Chapter 1133 The tiger comes out of the cage]

What Chen Yan is most worried about is that these teenagers are hiding in the mountains.

By then, it will be difficult to find them.

And now…

he cheered up, like a hungry tiger finding its flock of sheep.

“Speed up!”

……

After the mighty Dai Wangwei arrived at their destination.

But they discovered that at this moment… a group of people were waiting for them with bated breath.

This group of people seemed very quiet, everyone was riding a horse, and everyone was in high spirits.

Everyone in the Zhengde Guard had been asleep for about two hours.

Two hours, plus some hastily eaten dry food, were enough to keep them energetic.

At this moment, everyone is in high spirits.

On the other hand, everyone on Dai Wang’s guard was panting like an ox, and the running all the way had already made them exhausted.

Chen Yan looked at the men and horses in front of him, and his heart sank. Why…the other party has been waiting for him?

On the side, a captain stepped forward: “Command…”

Chen Yan held the handle of the knife at his waist and said to the captain: “Remember everything for me. Your Highness, the King of Dai, has been raising you. Without His Highness, the King of Dai.” , you are not even as good as the beggars on the street. Now, what is in front of you is the serious problem of His Highness. I attack immediately and look carefully. I will capture all those young men alive. How many can I take? , as for others, shoot without mercy.”

The words “kill without mercy” came out with a serious tone.

At this moment, Chen Yan’s eyes were shining as he looked at the team in the distance.

So, the messengers ran back and forth on flying horses: “Take those young men, and kill the rest without mercy!”

It seemed a bit troublesome to capture them alive.

However, the military order is like a mountain.

This time, if all these young men died, especially the emperor’s grandson, then… Daiwang’s attack would have no meaning.

By that time, not only the imperial army would be encircling and suppressing him, but also the Datong border troops who were waiting for a reaction would turn against him and kill everyone in Dai Wang’s palace as long as they got an order.

For Chen Yan, only by capturing these people can His Highness Daiwang be protected.

“Hold those young men, and shoot the rest without mercy!”

“Hold…”

The messengers ran back and forth, conveying the order to every corner.

The Dai Wang Guards listened to the orders and drew their swords without any hesitation. Although they were exhausted and empty in their bellies, the enemy was right in front of them. They had long known that the army and horses in front of them were no more than mediocre, but they were They come from the border town of Datong. Although they are not the elite among the elite, they have seen the battlefield.

Everyone cheered up and roared in unison: “Kill!”

Under the leadership of Chen Yan, the cavalry began to move forward slowly.

The opponent’s men and horses were standing on a higher ground. Without saying a word, Chen Yan took the lead and raised his sword, and his Pegasus rushed towards the top of the slope.

………

All members of the Zhengde Guard seemed a little nervous as they looked at the crowded team.

Even if the number of people is the same and they seem to be evenly matched, the vast majority of people will inevitably be extremely nervous when they enter this battlefield for the first time.

Behind them, Xu Pengju led his men in a high-spirited manner and had already set up several riprap trucks. It was too late to test these riprap trucks. Anyway… whether they could throw out the explosive packets could only depend on luck.

Although Xu Pengju’s luck was really not that good.

now.

Zhu Zaimo slowly took out the bow.

He looked forward, gritted his teeth, and then… shouted: “Soldiers, listen…”

The messenger began to convey Zhu Zaimo’s words.

Zhu Zaimo continued: “Your parents, wives and children will have someone to take care of them. If you have children, they will definitely go to the best school in the future. My mentor will never let them go hungry…”

Zhengde Guards , my heart was shocked.

At this moment, what they really think about is their family.

If… I die here, what will my family do?

Your Highness has spoken to their hearts.

Zhu Zaimo squinted his eyes. He knew very clearly what the soldiers were thinking.

Ahead, Dai Wangwei’s cavalry began to run up, and the overwhelming team was like a dark cloud, sweeping over them.

Zhu Zaimo continued: “If you don’t have a wife, if you perform meritorious service today, you can marry a wife. In the future, you can have children and continue your own incense. You only live once… this time, are you mediocre? Are you just trying to survive? Why don’t you follow me and build a career, and when the time comes, I will seal my wife, and besides… everyone…”

The Zhengde guards began to draw their swords.

A long, sharp knife was pulled out from his waist.

Zhu Zaimo roared: “Everyone… whoever follows me to bravely kill the enemy will be rewarded with a three-bedroom house in the old city next to the station… with a radius of thirty feet!”

“…”

Silence.

Everyone held their breath.

But then, his breathing started to get heavier again.

Making meritorious deeds…

For any soldier, even if he is still alive today, the imperial court’s reward system is too far away after all.

Zhu Zaimo knows this better than anyone else.

From the mouths of those veterans, I learned that the so-called meritorious service means little to them.

Not everyone has great ambitions. Most people just want their wives and children to be on the bed.

This is the desire rooted deep in the hearts of ordinary soldiers.

What is the most practical and truly impactful to the soldiers?

The eyes of many soldiers… were red.

The thirty-foot-long house near the station in the old city has a market price of more than five hundred taels. For this…

people raised the knives in their hands and roared from the depths of their throats: “Kill!”

Everyone has it!

Fight!

The cavalry began to slowly go down the slope, facing the Dai Wangwei on the opposite side.

The mighty people and horses naturally urged the horses under the seats to trot first.

Fang Zhengqing mustered up his courage. Young people… by their nature do not know what the consequences will be.

He had taken out his bow and arrows, and the horse he was sitting on began to trot.

But…at this moment, he had some questions in his mind: “Your Highness…the house…where did we get the house?”

Zhu Zaimo felt that at this time, Zhengqing was still so verbose, and said impatiently: “My teacher has …”

“Ah…” Fang Zhengqing was so distressed that he almost fell off his horse, and said angrily: “My father’s house will be mine from now on!”

“Kill!” Zhu Zaimo was already galloping

… …

Two cavalry teams, as big as a torrent, slowly approached.

Chen Yan was skilled with bow and horse, but…he didn’t use a bow and arrow. If he accidentally shot the emperor’s grandson to death, he would be dead.

But when Wang Wei launched a charge aggressively.

Suddenly…

a rumble…

the ground trembled.

The horse sat down, slightly frightened.

It’s artillery…

it’s no big deal.

The Daiwang Guards stationed in Datong had long seen the power of artillery.

This doesn’t scare them.

Chen Yan saw huge black shadows falling from the sky and drawing an arc.

And then… fell behind him.

What is this?

The cavalry was still like a tide, running wildly over the fallen things.

But suddenly.

Rumble…

flying sand and rocks… dust all over the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a wailing sound suddenly came from behind Chen Yan.

He turned around, only to see gunpowder smoke rising from the sky. More than a dozen people, already riddled with holes in the explosion, fell to the ground. Many people were injured. A soldier behind him, even though he was only ten feet away, had his arm He also seemed to be injured, with blood staining his armor red.

Chen Yan was shocked.

He never expected that the other party…had prepared artillery.

No, this is not artillery. If it were artillery, how could these people arrive here from the capital in two days?

He was distraught.

Besides, wasn’t it agreed that they were just here to hunt?

Who would be so heartless as to take this thing hunting?

Rumble…

there were explosions in the cavalry one after another.

Suddenly… people fell on their backs.

Countless people fell off their horses and roared miserably.

Chen Yan was confused. The rumbling sound kept coming.

Some of them fell astray, which was fine, but once they fell into the cavalry’s explosive packs, the power they unleashed was truly terrifying.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. What is important is that the self-confidence of many soldiers was suddenly hit.

He heard people wailing everywhere and saw bloody scenes, especially when suddenly someone’s body parts fell bloody on him.

This…feeling…is enough to make one feel chilled.

Chen Yan felt sad and angry.

mean!

He was afraid that at this time, the soldiers would be discouraged, raise their arms, raise their swords, and roar: “Kill!”

“Kill!”

Fortunately, they were all elite members of the Dai Wang Guard. As the explosions became sparse, they gradually calmed down. After all, the enemies they faced were already exhausted.

Even if he suffered heavy losses, hundreds of people were killed or injured.

But don’t forget, they… are a group of new recruits… As long as they rush over, they will cross.

With this thought in mind…

but suddenly…

the young men who were rushing forward bent their bows and set arrows two hundred steps away.

Even though the horse under his seat is still running, the people on the horse are constantly bumping.

But these young men have fully drawn their bowstrings, and their hands… are very steady.

Riding and shooting cannot be practiced without years of hard work.

The hundreds of soldiers of the Zhengde Guard were completely incompetent and could only rush to kill them with their swords.

But these teenagers…

bang…

in just an instant, they saw that each other was only a hundred steps away from them.

At this time, Zhu Zaimo loosened his bowstring as usual, and the arrow pierced the void like a meteor and flew straight out.

The other teenagers flew out with arrows.

Dozens of arrows were like locusts.

Then, one of the guards beside Chen Yan groaned, and saw that he no longer cared about pulling the reins, but covered his face with both hands. There was an arrow stuck on his face, and the arrow penetrated into his eye socket, and blood dripped from him. It came out from between his fingers, he let out a shrill roar, and then… he fell under the horse.

These people…

Chen Yan suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.

These people… were much more powerful than he imagined.

Don’t you mean… just a group of children and a group of new recruits?

…

sleepy report.
