"Escort!" The guards protecting Zhu Han roared angrily and moved closer to Zhu Han's frame. At the same time, he used the sword in his hand to deflect the arrows that were pouring down like raindrops.
Fortunately, these Jinyi guards are all experts in protecting Zhu Han personally. Not only are they well-equipped, but their strength is also one of the best in a million.
Under their large flying fish suits, they were all covered with a layer of soft armor. It can reduce the damage caused by missing arrows to the greatest extent.
After a dense rain of arrows, not many people were actually hit by arrows. After the rain of arrows, the sounds of military formations appeared at both ends of Qipan Street.
The soldiers of the Ruiqi Battalion held spears and maintained their formation and slowly advanced. An army of thousands of people pressed forward like an overwhelming mountain.
The footsteps gathered together, as if stepping on everyone's heart. Seeing them appear, even the guards protecting Zhu Han couldn't help but change their expressions.
The main thing these people do is to keep Zhu Han safe. The weapons he brings when traveling are basically the Xiuchun Dao issued by Jin Yiwei.
The main function of weapons such as swords is to facilitate portability. When it comes to the battle formation, only spears can truly dominate the battlefield.
Especially in this situation. The Xiuchun knives in their hands could not touch the Ruiqi battalion soldiers behind the spear formation.
If you can't reach anyone, how can you fight this battle? An officer of the Jinyi Guards shouted sternly: "Do you know who is in this carriage?"
"This is His Royal Highness the King of England!"
"You people dare to attack the King of England's chariot. Do you want to rebel? Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will punish your nine tribes?" His roar spread far away, almost making everyone on the battlefield hear it. Clearly.
The march of the military formation suddenly stopped. Many soldiers of the Rui Cavalry Battalion had hesitant looks on their faces.
At this moment, Zhao Hong, who was wearing a helmet and whipping armor, rode out on horseback and shouted in the same voice: "It is not us who are plotting rebellion, but His Royal Highness the King of England."
"Everyone in Yanjing City heard it a few days ago. His Royal Highness openly received him in Yanjing and ordered people to shout long live to him. Isn't this a rebellion?"
"You people, don't be stubborn. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately. I can guarantee that your lives will not be harmed until the court finds out the truth of the matter." The Jin Yiwei guarding Zhu Han sighed: "Bah, who do you think you are? , do you have the nerve to ask us to surrender?" Zhao Hong said coldly: "Zhao Hong, the commander of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, was ordered by the Yanjing Military Department to kill the rebels. Only the evil leader will be killed and no others will be implicated." The general of Jinyiwei said disdainfully He sneered and said: "What a commander of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, what a Yanjing Military Department!"
"We, His Majesty the King, have been following His Majesty the Emperor since he raised the army. Even His Majesty has never doubted that His Majesty the King is rebelling. What the hell are you?"
"If you want to hurt the prince, you have to step over our corpses!" At the same time, all the royal guards shouted loudly.
"Kill!" The overwhelming murderous intent even caused a small commotion to break out in the military formation of Ruiqi Camp. The originally neat formation suddenly became a little scattered.
The Ruiqi Battalion is nothing more than an ordinary garrison unit, although it has also been on the battlefield. But compared with guards like Zhu Han, they pale into insignificance.
You're welcome to say that. These people have probably killed more people than most people will ever see in their lifetime.
When it comes time to really fight, the killing intent comparable to that of a wild beast is no joke. Zhao Hong galloped back and forth on his horse, constantly boosting morale.
"Don't be afraid, no matter how powerful they are, their number will be limited after all."
"The King of England wants to rebel. If he succeeds in his rebellion, none of us will survive."
"No matter who it is, as long as it kills the King of England, I will give him ten thousand gold!" In order to boost morale, Zhao Hong also worked hard.
It's both confidence-boosting and coercive. Under Zhao Hong's constant urging, the people in the Ruiqi camp finally plucked up the courage and continued to line up and slowly approach Zhu Han's frame.
In the carriage, Liu Shenhong stood in front of Zhu Han, his face turned pale: "Your Highness, don't worry, as long as I, Liu Shenhong, am still alive, I will never let those people hurt Your Highness at all." Although he said it forcefully, , but looking at Liu Shenhong's appearance, you can tell that he is very nervous and scared now.
Compared with him, Zhu Han, who was the target of assassination, seemed much calmer.
"I understand, I have seen your loyalty. Can you please sit down first? You are delaying me from seeing the situation outside." Infected by Zhu Han's calm appearance, the fear in Liu Shenhong's heart was relieved a lot.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, these people dare to attack your car in broad daylight. They are simply lawless." Zhu Han smiled slightly: "Although I knew that they would definitely jump over the wall, I never expected that this would happen. The guys are so decisive. We got together to discuss it yesterday, but today we actually took action."
"It seems that these guys are somewhat capable." Liu Shenhong was stunned: "My lord, can you still laugh at this time?"
"It's just a small scene, just a sharp cavalry camp." Zhu Han really didn't care much. If it were the time when he had just traveled through time, Zhu Han's performance might not be much better than Liu Shenhong's.
But now... after so many years, I followed Zhu Yuanzhang step by step from a hungry monk to expelling the Tartars and restoring China, and established the towering Ming Dynasty.
Later, they went on an expedition to the Mongolian grasslands to completely eliminate the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Now the Ming Dynasty's soldiers are galloping across Europe.
Along the way, he had experienced many dangers. Zhu Han really felt that the battle with less than a thousand people in front of him was not much different from the battle between two villages.
There is no disturbance in my heart.
"Hmph, you are stubborn." Seeing that the people from the Rui Cavalry Battalion began to attack them again, the guards and Jinyi guards who protected Zhu Han were also completely angry.
"Thunder!" Even though he was on the battlefield, Zhu Han still felt a deep pain in his balls when he heard this name.
Grenade is an individual combat weapon developed by the Engineering College, and its positioning is similar to that of later generations of grenades.
However, due to many reasons, these grenades are not particularly powerful. The most important thing is that this thing is similar to a firecracker and needs to be lit with an open flame.
Although it is troublesome to use, it is more than enough to deal with the infantry of this era. This kind of thing is very popular among soldiers. It is easy to use and powerful.
Although the grenade is only the size of a palm, the sound of the explosion is not much weaker than that of a cannon.
Therefore, many soldiers call this thing Thunder. Soon someone lit a torch. He lit the grenade and threw it towards the military formation of Ruiqi Camp.
"Beware of firearms!" Ruiqiying was also the Ming Dynasty's army after all. Although they have not used firearms, they have also seen other armies of the Ming Dynasty use them.
There is still some sense of precaution. The moment those thunderbolts fell to the ground, someone used water from the hose to wet them and extinguish the fuses on them.
However, no matter how complete the defense is, it is impossible to completely prevent it. Boom boom boom! After a series of explosions, dozens of soldiers from the Ruiqi Battalion were killed by the fragments of the explosion, and countless others were injured.
Zhao Hong ordered coldly: "Ignore them and continue to charge forward. They don't have many firearms. As long as they can get close to them, they won't dare to use firearms!" It has to be said that Zhao Hong, this guy, can become The leader of Ruiqi Camp is not a freeloader either.
There were preparations for dealing with firearms before, but now after only one round of bombing, the shortcomings of firearms have been understood.
Zhu Han in the carriage was amazed: "I didn't expect that there are such talents in the army here."
"What a pity..." Zhu Han shook his head with regret. After what happened today, no matter what Zhao Hong, the commander of the Rui Cavalry Battalion, was capable of, he would not be able to escape death.
Zhu Han's bodyguards and the imperial guards only threw three rounds of grenades, and never used such weapons again.
After all, this is just normal protection work, and they can't bring too many weapons.
"Keep the rest for critical moments," the officer of Jin Yiwei ordered. Seeing that the people from Ruiqi Camp had already rushed in front of them, they picked up their knives and started to kill the people from Ruiqi Camp.
Seeing this, the other Jin Yiwei also rushed towards the military formation of Ruiqi Camp. He was afraid that they were all masters with one against ten, but in the face of a well-organized military formation, their charge was like moths flying into a flame.
Although many personalities fired long spears, after entering the military formation, they chopped down the enemies like tigers entering a flock of sheep.
But most people don't have such luck. Some people had just fended off a spear, but before they could rush into the formation, dozens of spears pierced them and turned them into candied haws.
This is the power of the military formation. When facing a military formation, your opponent is not only the person in front, but also the entire army.
It is also the guards like Zhu Han and the accompanying Jin Yiwei who are powerful. In this situation of absolute disadvantage, they actually fought a 50-50 split with the neatly arrayed army.
Even if the previous grenade bombing had greatly disrupted the formation of the Ruiqi Battalion, it was quite remarkable that it could be done to this extent.
The two sides fighting did not notice that the explosion of the geek attracted many eyes. In fact, before the explosion, many people had already noticed the situation on Qipan Street.
Although this is not a lively market, it is still a relatively spacious avenue. There are also quite a few people living in the houses on both sides.
The most important thing is that because of the noise Zhu Han made in his eyes, many people poured into Yanjing City to look for work.
These are all living people. It is impossible for them to use the sky as their bed and the earth as their bed, right? Some of them are businessmen who are responsible for their accommodation, while others are seeking refuge with relatives and friends, or renting houses.
In short, no matter how they stayed, the population density of Yanjing City was several times higher than before.
When the army first appeared, many people huddled in their houses and shivered. However, as Zhao Hong communicated with the British King's guards, many people gradually understood what happened.
For example, in a residential house on the left, four relatively sturdy men were hiding behind the window, listening with their ears pricked up.
"Oh my god, someone actually wants to assassinate His Royal Highness. These people don't want to live anymore."
"Why do you care so much? This matter has nothing to do with us anyway. Be careful to get yourself burned." The other person was silent for a moment: "Why doesn't it matter? I think this has a lot to do with us. Don't forget, it's His Royal Highness the King of England Only after we came to Yanjing did we have a good life."
"You can earn several taels of silver by just working for a month. Have you ever heard of this kind of thing before?"
"If those people really succeed, how can we have such a good life in the future." These words suddenly silenced the room.
A middle-aged man in his forties said with red eyes: "Xiao Qi is right, I don't care if the prince rebels or not. Anyway, I know that Xiao Qi is right. Without the prince, we would not be here today." ." As he said that, the middle-aged man searched the house for a while and quickly found a shovel, which was a tool used on the construction site.
Although there are regulations on many construction sites, iron tools are required at night. However, these regulations basically vary from person to person.
For the sake of convenience, many people simply carry it with them to avoid having to go to pick it up the next day.
But I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to use it today.
"I don't care what you do, but we Guanzhong men are not the kind of ungrateful people. Now that the King of England is in danger, we Guanzhong people can't just sit idly by." With that, he opened the door and entered the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived in the yard, the man couldn't help but be stunned. It turned out that there were three or four people dressed similarly to him in the yard, holding a variety of weapons, and seemed to be preparing to go out.
You don't need to ask to know what they are thinking. Originally, these people were just familiar to each other, to the extent that they would occasionally say hello when commuting to and from get off work.
But now that he saw these familiar faces, the man from Guanzhong was actually a little excited. Everyone didn't say anything, just opened the door and went out.
They didn't even know what was going on outside before they rushed out. They have to face thousands of troops, but there are only seven or eight of them in total.
It's basically a mantis trying to trick the car. However, these people did not hesitate at all. The sudden opening of the courtyard door startled the people in Ruiqi camp, and they were a little confused about the situation for a while.
As a result, seven or eight people who looked like farmers rushed out with a mess of weapons and relatively ragged clothes.
Caught off guard, two or three soldiers from the Rui Cavalry Battalion were hacked to death on the spot. Before they could fight back, loud shouts of killing rang out around Qipan Street.
I don't know how many people roared and launched an attack on Ruiqi Camp.
