A shower of arrows suddenly struck, and the two captains in Jinyi who went to help Zhu Jixi fell down.
The sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Shi Wen, who was guarding Chen Kan, drew his knife to ward off the two arrows. His face was full of shock, as if he didn't expect that someone would choose to take action at this time.
"There are assassins."
"Protect your lord!"
Chen Kan and Zhou Jing seemed to have a tacit understanding and retreated into the formation in tacit agreement.
Zhu Jihuang felt a little embarrassed now and couldn't run either way.
Fortunately, he was standing next to Zhu Jixi, and the arrows fired by the assassin consciously avoided the area where Zhu Jixi was.
"kill!"
In the dense forest, hundreds of masked men in black suddenly came out.
Chen Kan huddled among the layers of guards, and this sudden assassination made him a little confused.
If you don’t come when there are few people on the road, you have to choose this time. Come when the three guards of the Jin Dynasty and tens of thousands of soldiers are guarding here. There is no such way to seek death, right?
"Could it be?"
For a moment, Chen Kan thought of a possibility. At the same time, some soldiers among the three guards of the Jin Dynasty suddenly took action.
However, the target of their attack turned out to be Pao Ze next to them!
it is as expected!
Chen Kan realized in an instant that among the three guards of the Jin Dynasty, there was someone who was interested in Zhu Jixi.
Zhou Jing was horrified and was trapped in the military formation. He could neither leave nor stay.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, a trace of ferocity flashed in Chen Kan's eyes, he drew out the sword from his waist, pointed it at the rebellious soldiers, and shouted: "Your Majesty has an order, Jin's rebel comrades will be killed without mercy!"
Then he personally took the lead and rushed towards Zhou Jing!
Zhou Jing, a civil servant, subconsciously panicked when encountering such a thing.
But when he saw Chen Kan leading the Jin Yiwei to kill him, he suddenly regained his consciousness and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. Jin's rebel comrades will be killed without mercy. Soldiers, please quickly put down the rebellion."
At the same time, hundreds of black-clad assassins also approached.
The remaining three guardsmen finally reacted, but at this time it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, and there was no way to organize an effective counterattack.
Before they died, many soldiers had their eyes wide open with shock on their faces. They couldn't believe that Pao Ze, who they used to get along with day and night, would actually kill them.
"Kill, rescue His Highness Prince Jin!"
Someone shouted loudly, and the rebellious soldiers instantly abandoned their comrades and rushed towards where Zhu Jixi was.
But at this time, Zhu Jixi had been taken to the royal tomb by Fang Xu. It was obviously not easy to find Zhu Jixi among so many people.
As Chen Kan rushed, he watched in all directions, trying to calculate the number of rebels.
But once one crosses the border, there are no boundaries. Looking at it, it seems that all the soldiers are rebels, and it seems that all the soldiers are friendly forces. It is impossible to calculate.
Chen Kan chopped down a rebel who wanted to attack Zhou Jing with one knife. It was his first murder. Chen Kan didn't have time to understand what it felt like. Shi Wen opened the way in front, and Chen Kan pulled Zhou Jing all the way towards the gate of the royal tomb. Run wildly.
He wanted to curse.
The level of thrills this time was no less than that of the assassination on the bank of the Huaihe River, or even more. Fortunately, after experiencing many bloody incidents, Chen Kan had overcome the fear of death approaching.
"Those with silk bands on their wrists are rebels!"
"Those with silk bands on their wrists are rebels!"
Huang Gou'er's voice suddenly sounded at the gate of the royal tomb, but in the chaos of tens of thousands of people, his voice was quickly silenced.
Seeing this, the Jin Yiwei who heard Huang Gou'er's call also started shouting: "The rebels have silk belts on their wrist guards!"
The remaining three guardsmen of the Jin Dynasty also heard this cry, and with the help of silk belts, they gradually began to form an effective counterattack under the organization of grassroots officers such as the General Banner and Baihu!
"kill!"
There were hundreds of black-clad assassins, all of them top-notch fighters. Fortunately, the imperial guards were not weak either, and both sides fought equally.
Zhou Jing huddled aside, his face gray.
His memorial to the imperial court clearly stated that all military power of the Jin vassal had been vested in the imperial court.
But now that something like this has happened, his fate is worrying. Even if he is not beheaded, he will probably be exiled to Lingnan.
Chen Kan quickly calmed down, but the hand holding the handle of the knife was trembling slightly, but it was not because he was scared, but because it was his first time to kill someone, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
It's strange that Chen Kan's stomach would turn upside down when he smelled blood before, but now he doesn't feel anything at all.
"Sir, why don't you retreat to the royal tomb?"
Shi Wen looked at the dense crowd of people with a solemn look on his face. From time to time, he used his knife to help the Jin Yiwei's robe lift away some of the yin knives.
"No need, the war is about to subside."
Chen Kan shook his head, the situation in front of him was developing in his own favor.
Now that Zhu Jixi has lost power, and besides being charged with such a serious crime as rebellion, there are not many people who are willing to fight for him.
At first, it was just because he was caught off guard, and because it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, Leng Buding suffered a big loss.
Now that there is a way to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, if you look carefully, a rebel will almost face an enemy ten times his size.
Chen Kan made a rough calculation and found that there were only more than a thousand soldiers who actually rebelled.
Even if we add the hundreds of assassins killed from the dense forest, the number of rebels is only close to 2,000.
In this battle without any tactics, the side with more people has a natural advantage.
Less wins more?
nonexistent!
This is not a war, at best it is a group fight.
Throughout history, the number of battles that truly resulted in victory with fewer troops was very limited, so few that they need to be written down in history books.
As Chen Kan expected, the rebellious soldiers were quickly strangled one by one by the organized Jin vassal soldiers. Hundreds of households had already begun to lead their soldiers into the Jinyiwei camp.
In the chaos of the army, the assassins in black were easier to identify. As more and more soldiers joined the battle, the assassins' figures gradually decreased.
When the last assassin was stabbed into a sieve by dozens of spears, it also meant that this farce was over.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Chen Kan's expression was ugly, especially since the Jin Yiwei he brought had killed more than a hundred people, including one from a hundred households.
You must know that from the capital to Taiyuan, Chen Kan's men have always suffered zero battle losses. Even in the melee on the river, no Jin Yiwei died in such a thrilling situation.
Now it is just a rebellious farce, and he has lost more than a hundred people.
Looking at Zhu Jixi with a crazy smile on his face, Chen Kan felt like stabbing him to death.
And Zhou Jing and Zhu Jihuang were just two idiots. They didn't even know the second-in-command of the army, and they let assassins get into the area around the royal tomb. It would be a shame to die!
