Chapter 1715 Don’t hurt yourself

For the past two days, there was no movement from either side.

The leader of the Japanese kingdom is not in a hurry. Zhao Chen's team has already arrived at the entrance of the mountain forest anyway, unless Zhao Chen turns around and goes back now.

Otherwise, sooner or later, he will fall into his own ambush.

"Are the people in ambush okay?" The Japanese leader looked at his subordinates.

"Replying to the Lord, there is no problem."

"A hundred warriors are ambushing in the mountains and forests on both sides of the official road. All of them are equipped with crossbows, and the weapons in their hands are also the best ones provided by the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Everyone is watching what's going on in the officialdom." His subordinates and the Japanese leader reported.

The leader of the Japanese kingdom was very satisfied with the attitude of his men.

At the same time, he was not worried that if Zhao Chen and the others came over, his ambush would fail. ??

This time they came with more than a hundred people. In addition to the one hundred people who were in ambush, there were also more than twenty support personnel.

The weapons of more than a hundred people were also provided by Datang.

These include Datang's crossbow arrows and Datang's long knives made with the latest smelting technology.

This long knife has excellent toughness and is extremely sharp.

Can easily cut through ordinary weapons.

If the two sides fight at that time, they will definitely be able to catch the other side off guard.

"Then it's best for Zhao Chen to retreat, otherwise his life will be at stake here." The Lord of Japan said lightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Not to mention that Zhao Chen and the others only had a few dozen people. Even if they had more people, they wouldn't be able to withstand their own weapons and equipment.

"My lord, who in the Tang Dynasty wanted Zhao Chen's life and asked our Japanese country to take action..."

"Is this what you should know?" Before his subordinates could finish speaking, they were interrupted by the Japanese leader's cold voice.

The men immediately became silent and did not dare to speak.

"I don't know who in the Tang Dynasty wanted Zhao Chen's life, but we are only responsible for carrying out the mission."

"Others don't need me

We are worried. "After a while, the Japanese leader said slowly.

"Hai!" His subordinates quickly nodded in agreement.

The Japanese leader thought that today would be a quiet day, but unexpectedly, as he was about to return to the camp to rest, his subordinates suddenly ran over:

"Your Majesty, the team outside the mountain forest has taken action and is coming towards us."

"Has Zhao Chen's team set off?" The Japanese leader felt a little surprised.

If he knew that there was an ambush ahead, he would never continue to move forward and plunge into the ambush.

This is the behavior of a complete fool.

He didn't understand what Zhao Chen was thinking, but it didn't matter. Since Zhao Chen was here, just let him die.

"Pass the order, everyone must be alert. According to their speed, they will arrive here at noon today."

"As soon as you see the convoy appearing, immediately cover it from both sides and kill Zhao Chen. You must not let Zhao Chen go." The leader of the Japanese Kingdom issued a combat order.

"Hai!" Everyone nodded.

Time passes slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it will soon be noon.

The Japanese leader also crouched in ambush on the left side of the official road toward Shacheng.

There were fifty Japanese warriors beside him.

These people were lying here without making any sound. It was obvious that everyone was well-trained.

Everyone was staring at the official road ahead, waiting for the arrival of Zhao Chen's team.

A Japanese spy came to the Japanese leader from a distance and said, "Sir, the team has traveled less than five miles to get here."

"Continue to investigate." The Japanese leader said.

…

"Sir, we have already entered the forest for fifteen miles, and the entire forest is only thirty miles. If we go further, we will probably encounter an ambush by Japanese assassins." Qin Sanpao was still a little worried.

His original intention was for Zhao Chen to wait at the entrance of the mountain forest.

After Qin Sanpao and his men cleared the ambush of Japanese assassins, he would come back to pick up Zhao Chen and Wu Xu.

But Zhao Chen did not agree with his suggestion. .??.

At this moment, there is a possibility of encountering a Japanese assassin at any time, and Qin Sanpao is inevitably worried about Zhao Chen's safety.

"Keep going." Only Zhao Chen's calm voice came from the carriage.

"Keep going." Qin Sanpao had no choice but to obey his orders, driving the carriage with one hand and already holding the trigger of the gun with the other hand.

The other officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army also had their fingers on the triggers of the fire guns in their hands.

He moved forward cautiously with a wary expression.

"You stay in the carriage later and don't move."

"There are iron partitions in the middle of the four sides of the carriage. Just don't stick your head out." Zhao Chen reminded Wu Xu.

"What about you? Do you want to go out and fight with them?"

"It's too dangerous!" Wu Xu asked Zhao Chen.

"There's not much danger, they're just Japanese scum, it won't take much trouble." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

Wu Xu nodded lightly, he was about to face a fight, and she couldn't do much to help, so she could only wait on the carriage for Zhao Chen to come back.

"By the way, this is for you." Zhao Chen dug out a box from the corner of the carriage, and inside was a firecracker.

"This thing is called a firecracker, and it's already loaded with gunpowder."

"If a Japanese assassin rushes to the door, you pull the button here and aim the barrel at him."

"Remember, don't hurt yourself." Zhao Chen handed the blunderbuss to Wu Xu's hand.

Wu Xu nodded and held the gun in his arms.

\u003c

br\u003e There was no sound in the carriage, Zhao Chen closed his eyes and fell asleep. No one from the Xuanjia Army officers outside the carriage spoke.

Only the wheels of the carriage were turning on the ground.

After walking another four miles, we were already deep in the mountains and forests, with white snow hanging on the branches of the pine trees.

The tall trees did not shed their leaves and even blocked the midday sun.

The official road was quiet, there was no sound at all, not even a bird chirping.

Only the breeze blew gently, picking up a few snowflakes that had not yet condensed.

"Jijigi!" A voice suddenly sounded, and countless men in black suddenly poured out from both sides of the mountain forest.

Holding long knives in their left hands and crossbows in their right hands, these men rushed towards the Xuan Jia Army on the official road.

"Defense!" Qin Sanpao's face changed slightly and he immediately ordered the formation.

In just an instant, all the Xuanjia troops were guarding the carriage.

The thick shield was blocked in front of everyone, and the crossbow arrows of the Japanese warriors were nailed hard on the shield, piercing deeply into the wood.

The reaction speed of Xuanjia Army surprised the Japanese leader.

But he also adjusted his strategy instantly. Since the crossbow was useless, he would break through the opponent with melee combat.

We have more people and better weapons, so we are not afraid of the other party at all.

"Give up the crossbows and attack in close combat!" the Japanese leader issued an order.

In an instant, all the Japanese warriors discarded their crossbow arrows, held their long swords in their right hands, and struck hard at the shields of the Xuanjia Army.

"Prepare the firecrackers!" Qin Sanpao was waiting for the melee attack from the Japanese rogues.

The fire gun was instantly lifted by the Xuanjia Army soldiers, and the shields in the front row suddenly retreated, revealing the black barrel.

"boom--"

A huge sound shook the forest.

The birds in the distance were frightened and fled in a hurry.
