Chapter 1283 The enemy is risking their lives

"Charge! Capture Jiayao alive!"

"Come on!"

"Don't let the blood of more than 20,000 brothers be shed in vain!"

"Rush! Hurry for me!"

Gao Quan's deputy general had bloodshot eyes and roared at the top of his lungs, leading three thousand Lishan cavalrymen to charge towards Jia Yao regardless of everything.

They sacrificed so many people and waited for so long, didn't they just for this moment?

At this moment, the deputy general had only one thought in his mind.

Catch Jiayao!

Force the enemy to retreat!

The Le Dynasty has fallen into a desperate situation!

This is their only way to turn the tables!

"Qi Qi Ge, take your people and protect Madam Jia Yao!"

"The rest of you, follow me and cover!"

Shen Kuan roared and led his guards to move forward quickly.

"Let's charge forward, the enemy is no match for us!"

Qi Qige responded loudly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"What nonsense?"

Shen Kuan suddenly turned his head and glared at Qi Qi Ge, "Do you know the enemy's combat strength? Do you want to gamble with Madam Jia Yao's safety?"

They are indeed elite soldiers who have survived hundreds of battles.

But the enemy's force was three times theirs.

Moreover, the enemy used so many people as bait, even the enemy’s commander came out as bait!

The enemy placed all their hopes on this ambush.

This ambush must be the enemy's strongest force!

They can charge forward and fight the enemy head-on with the determination to die.

But they can’t gamble.

Everyone knows the consequences of Jia Yao falling into the hands of the enemy.

They already had an absolute advantage, and as long as other troops came to support them, this cavalry would be no problem at all.

To gamble that you can completely wipe out the enemy at this time is simply crazy!

Facing Shen Kuan's angry gaze, Qi Qige couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Does he know what's going on with the princess?

What if she got a miscarriage while they were retreating at full speed? Would he be able to take the responsibility?

"withdraw!"

Jia Yao made a prompt decision and quickly turned his horse around.

Shen Kuan is right.

They can't go gambling at this time.

If she fell into the hands of the enemy, all their efforts would be wasted.

As Jia Yao's order was given, the royal guards quickly covered Jia Yao and began to retreat.

"Deng Deng..."

The sound of horse hooves behind me was getting closer and closer.

The enemy seemed to be crazy, rushing towards them, howling.

"Fire arrows!"

Shen Kuan roared, quickly took out the bow and arrow, and galloped on his horse while drawing the bow and putting the arrow on it.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow flew through the air, but missed the target by a small amount, hitting only the shoulder of an enemy soldier, and not the vital part.

However, the enemy soldiers who were hit by arrows seemed to feel no pain at all. They still made crazy shouts and stared at the general's flag that was retreating with Jia Yao.

But the next moment, a rain of arrows covered the area.

Dozens of Lishan cavalrymen who were rushing in the front were shot into hedgehogs.

At the same time, the Lishan Iron Cavalry also launched a counterattack against the Royal Guards led by Shen Kuan.

The same rain of arrows retaliated.

"Whizzing……"

The sound of the arrow breaking through the air mixed with the whistling wind.

Under the cover of the rain of arrows, more than a dozen guards hanging behind fell off their horses, and several were shot by arrows, but they ignored their own injuries and launched a counterattack against the enemy.

The two sides fought back and forth, arrows were constantly shot at each other, and people from both sides kept falling off their horses.

The chase continued, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed to about twenty feet.

As the distance between them shortened, the accuracy of both sides improved a lot, and the casualties became more and more serious. Even Shen Kuan was hit by an arrow in the back. Fortunately, he was wearing a layer of chain mail inside, so the arrow did not penetrate too deep.

"Commander Shen, I'm out of arrows!"

Just as Shen Kuan was about to draw his bow and draw his arrow again, a soldier beside him shouted.

"I'm out of arrows too!"

"I don't have any more..."

Soon, several people discovered that the thirty arrows in their quivers had been used up.

Shen Kuan quickly shot an arrow, and when he reached for the quiver again, he found that his arrows were also empty.

Damn!

Seeing the enemy approaching, Shen Kuan hung up his bow and arrows, suddenly drew his sword, and roared murderously: "Two people go, let Qiqige protect Madam Jiayao and go first! The rest of you, stay with me and block the enemy in sections..."

At this time, they could only block the enemy in sections.

The enemy's target is Madam Jiayao.

If they rushed forward in a swarm, the enemy would definitely leave a small number of troops to fight them to the death, thus allowing the main force to continue chasing Madam Jiayao.

As he spoke, Shen Kuan ordered another young general to lead three or four hundred people to attack the enemy.

And he quickly moved closer to Jia Yao.

"kill!"

Three or four hundred guards quickly turned their horses around and rushed towards the enemy with roars.

Soon, three or four hundred people quickly rushed into the enemy camp.

However, the enemy did not engage in much entanglement with them. After a wave of attacks, the enemy left a small number of troops to fight with them, while the main force continued to rush forward.

Shen Kuan looked back and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

It is obvious that the enemy wants to capture Madam Jiayao alive at all costs!

The enemy doesn't need to care about those people who are fighting with them. Even if all of them die in battle, as long as they can delay their troops for a while, their deaths will be worthwhile.

"Two hundred more men! Go fight!"

Shen Kuan also became angry and yelled loudly.

It really is this!

Since the enemy is fighting to the death, they will fight to the death too!

As Shen Kuan's order was given, the two hundred riders quickly turned their horses around and charged towards the enemy.

He ordered two hundred men to charge at the enemy again.

In front, Jia Yao continued to move forward under the escort of Qiqige and others.

"law……"

While galloping, Jia Yao suddenly stopped his horse.

Seeing this, Qiqige immediately rode his horse to Jiayao's side and said, "Princess, are you feeling unwell?"

"There's no way!"

Jia Yao raised his eyes and looked forward.

Qi Qi Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked forward.

It was only then that she realized there was a fast-flowing river ahead of them.

The river doesn't look very wide, at most less than fifty meters.

But for them now, this is an insurmountable gap.

"Damn it! The enemy must have pushed us this way on purpose!"

Qiqige gritted his teeth and said, "Princess, I will put on your armor. You find a place to hide first, and I will lead the enemy away for you!"

The enemy would definitely not be able to tell which one of them is Jia Yao.

As long as she puts on Jia Yao's armor, the enemy will definitely think she is Jia Yao.

"That's too late!"

Jia Yao shook his head slightly, but his face was unusually calm. "The enemy is approaching. At this moment, their morale is at its peak. They will capture me even if it means they will be annihilated!"

The enemy suffered countless times more casualties than them.

Just for this moment!

At this time, the enemy will burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness.

Although her personal guards are also elite, it is hard to say who will win the game.

"Then...then what should we do?"

Qi Qi Ge was so anxious that he was running around and asking in a panic.

Jia Yao did not answer Qi Qi Ge's question, but just smiled and asked: "Do you know why I want to lead the army alone?"
