♂?,,
Chen Yuan didn't know how his luck would be. If heaven blessed him this time, it would be the first time he defeated Li Yuanhao!
This is very important for Chen Yuan's mindset when facing Li Yuanhao later on.
So on the second day early in the morning, a hundred robust Jurchen women arrived on this street under Sutu's leadership.
To make their actions more secure, Yelü Nigule specially sent 100 strong bows to the Jurchen people, as well as iron-made weapons that they rarely used, such as long guns and big knives.
Chen Yuan also let Pang Xi and others join this action, so as to prevent the other camp from having a master.
Everyone knows that today is the princess's engagement day. The common people mostly came out to join in the excitement, and this bustling street suddenly became very crowded.
Chen Yuan had already booked a private room in a teahouse early on, from which he could see the entire street scene.
In the late afternoon, a team of guards from the South Court finally appeared in Chen Yuan's line of sight with a horse-drawn carriage. Chen Yuan's heart couldn't help but tense up, and his palms were sweating. Although it was the cold winter season, his undershirt was involuntarily soaked.
"He's here." Chen Yuan said softly.
Sitting next to him was Wan Yan Ruru Lu, who would be directing the specific hunting plan this time, so he had to see every corner of the battlefield.
Wanyan Ruru's expression seemed very relaxed, still eating those small stir-fries that couldn't be eaten in Baishan Heishui, without even lifting her head: "What's the hurry, haven't even bitten into the rice yet!"
Chen Yuan's mood did not stabilize due to his calmness, would the prey really bite the bait? Or does the prey he imagined really exist?
The carriage had reached the center of the street, and the guards pushed through the crowd to let it pass slowly, but there was still no movement in the crowd.
Chen Yuan's heart was hanging in his throat, he understood that if he succeeded in his calculations this time, he would have a clear psychological advantage when facing Li Yuanhao in the future. On the other hand, if he guessed wrong, then in the future, he might be looking at Li Yuanhao with a reverent attitude.
There were still over two hundred steps before the carriage would turn onto this street. Had he really guessed wrong? Chen Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Whoosh!"
A sharp blade cuts through the noisy streets, a long spear pierces through the crowd, accurately stabbing into the wooden plank of the carriage!
"Protect the adults!"
"Assassins!"
The guards immediately went on high alert, and then a rain of arrows flew from the buildings or crowd on both sides towards the carriage, causing the crowd to panic!
At this time, Chen Yuan finally let out a long sigh of relief, and his prey had finally appeared!
The guards who were driving the carriage became extremely vigilant, no longer paying attention to the pedestrians on both sides. With a loud shout, the four fine horses pulling the carriage that symbolized the highest status of the Southern Court of Liao immediately galloped away. The crowd on the side of the road also dodged the sudden outbreak of chaos. Everyone had lost their previous elegance and leisurely mood. They covered their heads and ran wildly in the street, trying to dash into a relatively safe shop or rush home to escape.
The carriage was running at its fastest speed, and the arrows were continuously shooting onto the carriage board, making a continuous "dang, dang" sound. The South Wing guards around them used their lives to protect the safety of the carriage, but it was no use. Every assassin's first move was to target the carriage, and soon the carriage board made a crisp cracking sound.
An assassin holding a heavy hammer shouted loudly and jumped down from the second floor of a building on the side of the street, landing directly on top of the carriage with his hammer!
The already fragile car board shattered into pieces as the assassin's fist came down, revealing Yelü Zhongyuan dressed in clothes with a fake mustache sitting inside.
Chen Yuan looked out the window and saw Yelü Nege jump from the carriage, bounce off the ground, and land accurately on the back of a strong horse pulling the front cart. The driver reacted extremely quickly, drawing his knife from his waist the moment the cart board shattered, and slashed at the assassin who had jumped down from the second floor.
The assassin grabbed the carman's arm with one hand, twisted it hard, and the carman let out a scream. The long knife fell from his hand, and the assassin shouted loudly again, striking the carman's head with a hammer!
The iron hammer struck, and Chen Yuan could hear a "plop" sound from high up. The carter's head instantly disappeared, and a white or red mass splattered around, and when the mass dispersed, the carter had already been thrown to the ground, his skull completely smashed!
Chen Yuan said to Wanyan Ruru behind him: "Headman, can we make our move now?"
Wanyan Rourou shook her head: "Not yet!"
After the assassin who wielded the hammer launched his attack, the prelude to close combat was officially sounded. The assassins emerged from their hiding places on both sides and attacked the guards of the South Court or directly attacked Yelü Niegulu.
These assassins were obviously the most elite warriors on the battlefield, and their advances and retreats were quite methodical. The more than thirty people led by Yelü Niwulu had suffered heavy casualties earlier, and as soon as they clashed with the enemy, more than ten of them fell to the ground again, leaving only Yelü Kaqing leading a few slightly better warriors who were also slightly luckier in resisting.
But looking at the assassins swarming from all sides, no one thought that these few people could withstand the opponent's charge for even a single round!
Chen Yuan was somewhat anxious: "Headman, if things go on like this, people will be in danger!"
Wanyan Ruru said firmly, "Lord Chen! I'm more experienced in hunting than you are! Don't get anxious just because the bait was bitten once! If we go out now, we'll scare away the prey!"
Chen Yuan paced back and forth in front of the window for a couple of steps, but ultimately didn't say anything. Hunting was indeed not his thing.
Yelü Niegulu charged out several tens of steps in the time his rear guard had bought with their lives, and was just about to rush past this street entrance when suddenly a tripwire sprang up from the ground in front of him, blocking the hooves of his horse.
It's too late to rein in the warhorse now!
The horse let out a pained whinny, its two front hooves snapping off in the high-speed run, falling to the ground and never getting up again.
Yelü Niugu was also knocked to the ground, and he rolled over and got up. Two feathered arrows flew towards him. He hastily used his knife to deflect one of them, but the other one pierced his arm.
Yelü Niegulu didn't even have time to pull out the arrows on his arm, as dozens of assassins shouted and rushed towards him.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared and stabbed at him. Yelü Chucai dodged to the side, his left hand grabbing the hilt of the sword that had just brushed past him, while his right hand swung down with a long knife, striking the attacker's neck. He pushed the assassin's body forward as he charged ahead.
Fresh blood kept flowing out of the assassin's mouth and neck, his eyes staring dead at Yelü Niegulu, trying to pull out the long gun that had been grabbed by his opponent with his remaining strength. Yelü Niegulu's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf wandering in the wilderness, and after pushing the man a few steps back, the surrounding enemies all closed in.
He slashed the long knife with force, and the assassin's half head immediately fell down, his eyes suddenly becoming extremely painful. The hot blood in his body kept gushing out from the wound on his neck, slowly blowing open that skull.
Yelü Niegulu rolled backwards with the momentum, and before the two men behind him could react, he had already slashed open their bellies with one knife.
The assassins who had surrounded them were too numerous, and Yelü Nüguo hadn't even had time to stand up when a knife came slashing down from behind him. Fortunately, the attacker's distance wasn't quite right, so it only sliced through the skin on Yelü Nüguo's back, leaving a bloody gash.
A lone assassin had already strung his bow and arrow, the feathered arrow carrying a piercing momentum straight towards Yelü Niegulu's back.
At a critical moment, a guard who had fallen to the ground suddenly jumped up and used his body to block the arrow for Yelü Nigule.
Yelü Kaixing looked at this situation and shouted: "Protect the lord!"
He was about to rush to the side of Yelü Niwulu, but the assassin wielding a hammer suddenly struck him halfway. Yelü Kaixing hurriedly used his knife to block it. He was in mid-air without any support and was knocked backwards by the heavy blow.
A long spear thrust from behind him, Yelü Kaiqing saw it clearly, but couldn't dodge. The spear pierced through his back and chest! The tip of the spear protruded from his chest for over a foot!
Yelü Kaixing's body shook violently for a few moments, and the assassin behind him tried to pull his spear back, but he was held firmly in place by Yelü's hand!
"Ah!" Yelü Kaiqing let out a mournful cry, and with a swift turn of his head, he killed the assassin with one slash of his knife!
"Protect the adults!" he howled, wanting to fulfill his life's mission with his last breath!
He stumbled two steps, his body suddenly falling down, but he propped himself up with the long knife in his hand and stood up again. His eyes were fixed on the assassin who had thrown the hammer, walking step by step towards him.
That assassin then killed two more people, the guards were all dead, he turned his head to look at Yelü Kezhen who was walking towards him with a long spear inserted in his chest, and shook his head lightly.
"Ah!"
Yelü Kaixing summoned his last bit of strength and swung his sword over.
That man swung the heavy hammer in his hand and smashed it into Yelü Kaiqing's chest! He put all his strength into this blow, for he thought that showing mercy was an insult to the respectable opponent in front of him!
The hammer smashed onto the gun head, and the long gun flew out from in front of Yelü Kaiqing's chest again. Then the iron hammer hit Yelü Kaiqing's chest once more, and his internal organs and fresh blood spewed out of his mouth together!
"Want to kill me? Come on!" Yelü Negan was like a mad tiger, after continuously killing more than ten people, the original color of his clothes could no longer be seen.
Those assassins who were killed by him immediately retreated two steps in a flurry, forming a small circle, and surprisingly no one dared to be the first to rush up.
The man with the hammer was apparently the leader of this group. He put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
Wanyan Rourou said with a smile: "Alright!"
The whistle had just fallen when four more masked men jumped down from the building on both sides, and one of them waved his hand: "Others retreat first!"
Those assassins immediately dispersed and fled quickly towards the streets, leaving only these five people. They were obviously full of confidence in these five people.
Yelü Zhongyuan and four others formed a fan shape, step by step closing in: "Today, no one will leave!"
Yelü Niegulu laughed and pulled off the fake beard stuck to his face: "You scoundrels, you also want to plot against my father the king!"
The hammer's sudden burst of confusion whispered: "It's over!"
