Chapter 1430 Siege, Assassination [4]
As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Chief Wei and the imperial guards.
"The Prince of Ye is too kind to us!" The Wei leader and the imperial guards hurriedly moved aside.
Qi Tianshi was speechless. She thought to herself, "What kind of time is this? Stop with all this fuss and start preparing for the battle!"
However, in order not to embarrass His Majesty, Qi Tianshi held back and did not say anything. He only looked into the distance at the location of the barricade camp, where several plumes of smoke from exploding weapons were rising again.
The enemy troops in front and behind were alarmed by the battle and were rushing towards the place of attack.
Fortunately, because the incident happened so suddenly, only a small group of enemy troops rushed to provide support, and the entire enemy force did not return to defend.
Qi Tianshi's expression darkened slightly: Hurry up, hurry up, maybe you can break through and survive!
……
The barricade camp was in chaos because a powerful thunderbolt suddenly emerged from the ground and charged straight at the Fourth Prince's ostentatious chariot.
Fortunately, Bei Qidemo reacted quickly, swinging his longsword and knocking the Fourth Prince to the ground with the blade, thus preventing the Fourth Prince from being killed by the explosion.
The warhorse pulling the chariot was injured by the explosion. As it ran in fright, the chariot ran over the fourth prince's foot, and a row of large blades on the bottom of the chariot cut and slashed.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
Even though the fourth prince was wearing armor, the armor plates were torn off by the large blade, and several pieces of flesh were torn from his feet, exposing the glaring white bones. He screamed in agony.
But this thing was very powerful. After shouting twice, it suppressed the urge to cry out in pain and instead shouted: "Imperial decree, divine decree, immediately release the poison source into the capital city of the Liangwei bastards. The poisoning must be successful, otherwise it will be disobeying the divine will!"
"All Eastern Desert soldiers, quickly return to the Fourth Prince's side and protect him with your bodies! Hurry!" Bei Qidemo shouted, spurring his horse to avoid the panicked chariots and galloping towards where the Fourth Prince had fallen, intending to lift him onto his horse and take him back to the rear of the army.
pity……
Whoosh-!
A strong gust of wind arrived, carrying three packages.
Rumble rumble rumble!
A flash of fire and a thunderous explosion sent Bei Qidemo flying two meters away.
Bei Qidemo was covered in blood from the explosion, and his skin, which was not protected by heavy armor, was burning with pain, and there was also the smell of raw roasting.
Bei Qidemo instinctively looked toward the direction from which the weapon attack had come, and in a flash, a group of people emerged from a tunnel.
They were all lightly armed, making them very agile. As soon as they emerged from the tunnel, they threw small, sharp projectiles, which blasted down the nearest group of Eastern Desert soldiers.
Raising his sharp blade, he swiftly and precisely sliced through the areas of the Eastern Desert soldiers unprotected by armor plates.
With a series of thuds, the dagger pierced the eye of the Eastern Desert soldier. The force was so great that it penetrated the back of his skull. The dagger spun and twisted as it was pulled back. By the time the dagger was removed, the Eastern Desert soldier had already died and fallen to the ground.
With a hissing sound, they didn't pause at all, their daggers slashing across the necks of another group of Eastern Desert soldiers, sealing their throats in one stroke.
"Form ranks and charge toward the target!"
In the attacking force of the grain and Wei army, a young man shouted this, and the grain and Wei soldiers immediately stood back to back, quickly forming a formation that combined offense and defense, like a sturdy chariot, and rushed towards the Fourth Prince!
"Blue Tiger, Xiao Yi, aim! Once the opportunity arises, blast the target to pieces!"
Target?
Who are they targeting?
It was the Fourth Prince! How dare that lowly Wei bastard assassinate the Fourth Prince!
Bei Qidemo finally came to his senses, and in just three breaths, he was able to gather his men to rescue the Fourth Prince.
In just a few breaths, Jiang Dalang and his men had already closed to within twenty meters of the Fourth Prince.
Click, click, click!
Short, thick, and incredibly sharp spinning machetes flew from the hands of the mountain soldiers, slashing heavily at the charging enemy troops. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The enemy soldiers' legs were struck hard by the spinning machetes, fracturing their bones, and they collapsed to the ground.
The enemy troops closest to Jiang Dalang and his men were intercepted.
"All heroes of the Eastern Desert, quickly gather at the Prince's Banner, rescue the Fourth Prince, kill the bastards of the Grain Wei, and slaughter this group of Grain Wei!" shouted Bei Qidemo and Xi Qinerqin.
west Yan, Bei Qi De Kui, and the Twelfth Prince were also gathering troops to rescue the Fourth Prince, while waves of enemy cavalry were already charging towards the Fourth Prince's banner.
But...
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
From six different locations within the chevaux-de-frise camp, a barrage of thunderous weapons erupted, bombarding enemy troops who were rushing from all directions to rescue the Fourth Prince and attempt to return to defend their positions.
"Slave soldiers, release the poison sacs and poison the city! This is a divine decree!" The Fourth Prince's order reached the Twelfth Prince, who shouted as he urged his soldiers, "Hurry! The gods said we must seize this opportunity to poison the city, or we'll have pushed the army to this point for nothing. Poison it now! If you dare to disobey the divine decree, the powerful First Prince will not forgive you!"
This was the first time the twelfth prince had encountered such a dangerous situation, and he was so frightened that he could not speak coherently.
"Yes, yes, yes!" The slave soldiers and some of the vanguard enemy troops were going to carry out the order to poison the capital city.
Unfortunately, the twelfth prince's shout revealed his location and that of the source of the poison.
Commander Gan said, "There's a half-palm-width area to the right ahead. Aim and bombard the chariots first!"
Who told these enemy princes to love showing off and riding in these huge war chariots? And according to the enemy forces in the Eastern Desert, the chariot is carrying a big cargo.
The enemy has a large shipment; killing it is the right thing to do.
Therefore, the twelfth prince did not have time to be afraid for long before he heard a whoosh!
Rumble rumble rumble!
One throw and three powerful weapons exploded, landing right in the arms of the twelfth prince... Heh, that's just how unlucky this thing is.
He had never seen a heavenly thunder weapon before, and he caught it out of curiosity, looking down at it.
Then, it was half-cooked.
boom!
Half-eaten corpses were blasted to the side of Alita, the royal assassin general. Alita was stunned for a moment before roaring, "Kill! Kill the Wei soldiers! Avenge the noble twelfth prince!"
After shouting several times, the other slower-reacting enemy soldiers finally came to their senses.
But they were stunned: "What do you mean? The twelfth prince is dead? Killed by the Wei soldiers? Impossible!"
Many of the royal soldiers were also fighting against the fierce soldiers of Wei for the first time. They had been taught that Wei was a lowly race, weak and worthless, so they thought it was impossible for Wei to kill a prince.
After all, they are the Red Feather Royal Family protected by the gods; how could the Wei soldiers possibly kill them?
See, this is the consequence of being too superstitious. Our army is already killing you right in front of you, and you still don't believe it. Well then, go join your twelfth prince.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Another batch of heavenly lightning weapons exploded, killing and wounding royal guards and slave soldiers.
"Set it on fire!" Commander Da Gan shouted. "Burn the source of the poison, or at least burn the container that holds it, so that the poison can leak out and infect the beasts of the Eastern Desert with the plague... All living beings are equal, and the plague can harm us as well as the enemy!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh; pine oil bags, torches, and thunderbolts attacked the carts of poison sources guarded by the slave soldiers and the vanguard soldiers.
A series of explosions, fueled by pine resin, ignited a massive fire, nearly destroying the source of the toxic substance in the area.
Alita and the royal guards turned deathly pale upon seeing this. This was a divinely bestowed Flame Poison, a divine decree issued by the powerful Crown Prince, which required the Flame Poison to be thrown into the city.
If they fail, those responsible for carrying out the divine decree to poison the body will all have to become poison-cultivating bodies!
"Quickly release the poison vesicles! Let them ride the wind into the capital city, infect the grain-producing area, and destroy the capital city without a fight! Quickly, release the poison!"
