The deputy general looked around in confusion, feeling that something was wrong.

The second prince, who was riding on a horse, couldn't help but look at him with amusement after hearing this.

Then he smiled and said, "That's a bit strange. Among our 3,000-plus men, who is not wearing armor? Isn't it normal to hear the sound of armor?"

"No, no, no, Your Highness, that's not what I meant."

The deputy general quickly shook his head.

Then he looked around and quickly explained, "We have more than 3,000 men, and our march is very orderly."

"Even when the armor moves, the sound is very uniform, but the noise I just heard seems to come from another army."

When the second prince heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

If the deputy general had only mentioned it once, he might not have cared.

But the deputy general mentioned it again, and even he felt a little uneasy.

The second prince thought about it and looked around. Apart from his guards, there was no other person here.

"If someone really wants to ambush us, where would they hide? Could they be hiding underground?"

The deputy general quickly said: "It's not hidden underground, but hidden in the mountains!"

"This place is too narrow, and there is only one passage. If we don't get through quickly, we will be surrounded from the front and back, and we will definitely not be able to break out."

"Especially since this mountain is too steep, if there are people ambushing up there, I'm afraid they'll just push down a few boulders and we'll suffer numerous casualties."

"Your Highness, please give the order. We must pass through here quickly!"

The deputy general's face became serious. The more he looked at this place, the more nervous he became. He was afraid that someone was lying in ambush here.

If something really happened at that time, even he would not be able to escape with the second prince.

But he still felt something was wrong.

You know, this is still within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty after all, and there is no way those bandits would come and provoke them.

Could it be that there are really people from the enemy country lying in ambush here?
"Give the order!"

The Second Prince's expression also became serious, and he ordered his deputy general, "Pass on this Prince's order, have everyone move forward quickly!"

The deputy general immediately asked the messenger to pass the order from the front of the queue to the back.

At this time, he had forgotten that he had just heard the inexplicable sound of armor.

Unknown to everyone, a fully armed army was lying in ambush on the mountain.

Although there are only a few hundred people, once these people attack them, they will have no chance of escaping from here.

With the order, the army advanced faster.

However, this line of sky was too narrow and long. After the 3,000-man guards entered, the people in the front had not even left.

Xuanye was hiding at the top of a mountain that formed a narrow passage. When he saw the second prince and the three thousand soldiers of the Royal Guards all enter the narrow passage,

The expression on his face suddenly became cold and stern.

"Come here, pass on my order! Push the huge rock at the entrance down the mountain!"

"Yes!"

The messenger immediately delivered the message.

After a while.

There was a loud rumbling sound, and at the entrance, several huge rocks on the mountain peak quickly rolled down the cliff.

For a moment, dust and smoke filled the air and the earth shook.

Especially the gravel on the surrounding hillsides, which kept falling down.

All of a sudden, the Second Prince’s retreat was cut off.

The sudden change caused the second prince, his deputy general, and the three thousand guards to panic in an instant.

"What's going on!" The second prince was almost frightened to fall off his horse. He asked the deputy general next to him while suppressing his fear.

The deputy general swallowed his saliva, and looked at the huge rocks rolling down from behind, his heart was in his throat. Even his lips couldn't help but tremble.

"Your Highness, our retreat is blocked!"

The second sentence of the deputy general was almost a roar: "There is an ambush, there is an ambush!"

He had fought in many battles, so he knew that this sudden situation must be an ambush.

It was too late for him to regret now. If he had known earlier, he would never have agreed to enter this narrow passage.

The second prince was also completely panicked, and even his body was hunched over while riding on his horse.

"Then, what should we do now?"

He looked back at the soldiers behind him, who were now becoming agitated and eager to escape.

After all, this narrow strip of sky already gives people a very strong sense of oppression.

Now when we hear of an ambush, we know it must be an ambush from a high position.

If they don't run out quickly, they will definitely die here.

"Everyone listen up! Break out in formation!" the deputy general shouted at the top of his voice with a flushed face.

He knew he had to stabilize the morale of the troops.

At this critical moment, the second prince was of no use at all.

So he has to take the lead.

Several adjutants around him also quickly rode their horses to the back to stabilize the morale of the troops.

The restless army was finally calmed down, but at this moment, the deputy general suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind.

He couldn't help but look up, and then his expression changed completely.

The deputy general's face turned extremely pale and his heart seemed like it was about to jump out.

He used all his strength and the last bit of his rationality to shout, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Break out with all your strength! Protect His Highness! The baggage soldiers find cover!"

When the Second Prince heard this, he was a little confused.

"Shh!"

Just when he hadn't figured out the situation, he suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye a feather arrow falling from the sky and piercing the head of a soldier not far away!

A blood mist burst out.

When the second prince looked up, his heart suddenly sank.

At this moment, the sky was filled with a dense rain of arrows that covered the sky!
Everyone seemed to feel that the sky seemed to darken for a moment.

In the next second, countless arrows fell from the sky, and a large number of guards around the second prince died in just an instant.

Before he could fully react, he felt his body lighten and he was immediately picked up by the deputy general next to him and protected under him.

"drive!"

"Your Highness! Even if I die, I will definitely escort Your Highness out!"

The deputy general remembered his mission firmly. If the second prince died, even if he could break out, he would still die in the end.

"Everyone, make your best to break through!"

"We don't need the supplies anymore! Saving our lives is the most important thing!"

At this moment, an adjutant also bypassed his superior, the lieutenant general, and loudly issued orders to the people behind him.

However, the deputy general did not intend to blame him at this time.

Because he knew very well that now they could only escape for their lives, and taking these supplies would only hinder their escape.

It has to be said that there are still some capable people around the second prince.

Unfortunately, they encountered a dead end! (End of this chapter)
