The second prince had never encountered such a situation before, so when he was attacked.
Almost instinctively, he hid in the deputy general's arms, trembling so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.
The deputy general couldn't help but feel chilled when he saw the cowardly look on the Second Prince's face.
The second prince is the main commander in guarding the border this time.
If even he has become so cowardly, the army will have lost its backbone.
You know, these guards all follow the second prince.
But now the Second Prince is hiding under him...
The deputy general couldn't help but sigh, but he could only squeeze the horse's belly with his legs to make the horse run faster.
"Damn, damn."
"Why is this line of sky so damn long?!"
The deputy general's horse was originally quite good, but it could only run fast if it carried one person.
But now there is the second prince, and the weight has increased greatly. Plus, many fallen rocks have already fallen in this valley, so even the horses have to be careful not to sprain their feet.
So the speed is naturally much slower.
I ran for a long time but couldn't get out of the valley.
The second prince hid in the deputy general's arms and looked outside. After several rounds of arrows fell.
There are only a few of his 3,000 guards left!
At this time, he felt as if there was some warm liquid on his face.
I touched it and found it was bright red blood.
"Deputy General, you've been shot!"
The second prince's expression suddenly became even uglier.
The deputy general just looked down and saw that he was indeed hit by an arrow in the shoulder blade, but it was not a serious injury.
"It's alright! Sit tight, Your Highness!"
"The enemy has stopped shooting arrows. Close combat may follow!"
However, what the deputy general did not expect was.
At this moment on the top of the mountain, an arrow was aimed at his head.
As a general who had experienced many battles, Xuanye's cultivation was naturally very good. His bow and arrow was a specially made fifteen-stone bow. With one arrow, he could shoot through even a huge rock.
Even the second prince's deputy general would not be able to withstand this arrow.
But Xuanye also had to aim carefully.
Emperor Wu's order was to capture the Second Prince alive, as he did not want to bring a dead man back with him.
"Shh!"
After Xuanye took aim, he released the bowstring.
The cold arrow shot straight towards the deputy general's head with unstoppable force.
The deputy general vaguely heard the sound of breaking wind, turned around and looked, his eyes suddenly burst into tears.
"Be careful, Your Highness!"
He thought that the arrow was aimed at the Second Prince, and hurriedly wanted to throw the Second Prince out.
After all, this arrow came with great force and was definitely not an ordinary arrow like the one just now.
The second prince does not have any powerful cultivation, and his physique is even weaker.
Even if the deputy general used his skills to release the innate protective qi, the Second Prince's internal organs could easily be shattered by the powerful impact.
"Protect His Highness!"
The deputy general roared and threw the second prince towards the centurions beside him.
The energy of this arrow has locked onto him, and he cannot dodge.
Several centurions on horseback nearby rushed forward, took the second prince onto his horse, and then surrounded him.
They also had many wounds on their bodies, and several of them had been shot by arrows.
But at this moment they could only slow down, because the power of that arrow was too terrifying.
The cold arrow arrived in an instant.
In an instant, the deputy general tried his best to display his skills and release the protective qi.
"boom!"
However, the power of this arrow was beyond his imagination. Even though the deputy general released his protective Qi, he was still blown away by the powerful impact.
The horse under him had been shattered into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere!
"It's over... it's over..."
The second prince looked at the scene in front of him, muttering to himself as if he had lost his mind.
The deputy general is the most accomplished person in his army.
Now even the deputy general has been seriously injured, and his life or death is unknown.
The second prince didn't know whether he could escape from here alive.
Seeing that the exit ahead had appeared not far away, a dozen centurions escorting the second prince hurriedly rode forward on horseback.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
Xuanye, who was on the top of the mountain, saw that the second prince was only accompanied by a dozen guards, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"Go! Catch them all alive!"
He gave the order, and nearly a hundred soldiers with advanced skills followed him and slid down the cliff.
In just a moment, the Second Prince and a dozen injured and miserable centurions of the Guards around him were surrounded!
"Protect His Highness!"
More than a dozen centurions drew their swords from their waists and protected the second prince in the middle.
Someone shouted loudly: "Who are you! Dare to attack the Second Prince's army, the Great Zhou Dynasty will not forgive you!"
Xuanye looked coldly at the man who had just shouted and shot out a dagger in his hand.
"Shh!"
In just a moment, the man's neck was cut, blood spurted out, and he died with his eyes open.
Xuanye said coldly: "I'll give you a chance. Hand over the Second Prince now, and I can leave you an intact body!"
"dream!"
"Don't even think about it! If you want to kill His Highness, you have to step over our dead bodies first!"
"Your Highness, we will help you break through!"
For a moment, the situation was tense and the battle was about to break out.
But at this moment, Jun Lintian, who had been hiding in the dark with shadow skills, curled up an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.
The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.
Looking at the scene below, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then, he nodded to Jun Mengyao next to him and said with a sneer, "Mengyao, it's our turn to take action!"
Jun Mengyao nodded and jumped down beside Jun Lintian.
As he jumped off the cliff, Jun Lintian shouted to the people below: "Spare his life!"
The people below realized something was wrong and looked up.
But at this moment, Jun Lintian took out a large bag of quicklime powder directly from the storage space and sprinkled it down violently.
"who!"
"What the hell is this! What the hell is this?!"
"You cowardly rat! Get out here!"
At first, everyone didn't know what it meant and just thought it was some kind of trick.
But when the quicklime powder touched their eyes, they only felt a burning pain in their eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!"
"What the hell is this! How dare you, you sinister bastard, release poison!"
For a moment, everyone below was in chaos.
In addition, they had just been running all the way and their bodies were already covered in sweat.
When the quicklime powder came into contact with sweat, a chemical reaction occurred, and even these people felt a burning pain on their bodies.
"Quick! Get some water!"
Someone hurriedly took a water bag from his waist, and the water rushed into his eyes, making the burning sensation even worse.
"Ah—I'm blind!"
"It's lime! Don't use water! Don't use water!" (End of chapter)
