Chapter 1729 We have to go a little further
The Cangzhou Army, which was like crazy, followed the traces left by Zhao Chen and others and chased after them.
At this time, the sky was already white, and the snow within a foot could be seen with the naked eye.
The crowd chased him not far, and saw a group of people in front of him from a distance.
The men also lit a bonfire.
They didn't seem to care at all about the tracking of their Cangzhou Army.
When the guard saw a bonfire in front of him, he almost laughed out loud.
He was also worried that Zhao Chen would run away right under his nose.
If that really happened, he'd better quickly find a place where no one was and hang himself, so as not to suffer too much in the future.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Chen and his men killed the captain and the others, they did not go far. Instead, they lit a bonfire not far away.
Isn’t this a gift to yourself?
It would be unreasonable for me not to accept such a great gift.
"Brothers, those bandits are right there. Kill them and avenge the captain and the others." The guard shouted loudly, pointing in the direction of Zhao Chen and the others.
"kill!"
"Avenge the captain!"
"Kill them all!"
In an instant, all the Cangzhou Army soldiers rushed towards the bonfire.
However, they did not rush in front of Zhao Chen. Suddenly, a large group of war horses emerged from the snow in the distance.
That's right, it's a war horse.
There are four to five hundred horses.
On the back of each war horse is a cavalryman holding a spear.
The faces of these cavalrymen could not be seen, and only the cold light of the spears in their hands could be seen.
These people are definitely not bandits.
How could there be bandits with such a large number of cavalry?
If they really existed, let alone a mere Crane City, even the Cangzhou Military Camp would be easily destroyed by them.
But where did these cavalry come from?
Why are they here?
Why should we protect these bandits who do all kinds of evil?
The Cangzhou Army soldiers don't understand, but they don't dare to move now.
How could these people be the opponents of the cavalry?
Before he even got close, he was already dead and could no longer die.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the cavalry, the guards began to feel fear in their hearts.
He knew that both he and Helan Chushi had been tricked by Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen actually mobilized a group of cavalry long ago.
He probably knew that the people he brought had a lot of armor, so he deliberately led himself and others into the secret passage.
Because the secret passage is narrow, it is very inconvenient to walk normally, and it is definitely not possible to wear armor.
I didn’t expect it now…
The personal guard had already understood the situation, and he quietly retreated behind everyone, preparing to escape quietly under the cover of night.
But when he walked behind the crowd and was about to get into the woods nearby, he found Qin Sanpao staring at him coldly.
"Isn't this the bodyguard of General Helan who is here to visit His Highness? Where are you going?" Qin Sanpao said with a cold face and pinched the shoulder of the bodyguard.
How could the personal guard withstand Qin Sanpao's pinch? His face turned pale in pain.
Qin Sanpao ignored him and lifted him up, slamming him down in front of Zhao Chen: "Your Highness, this guy is the person Helan Chushi sent to inquire about our situation that day."
"Oh." Zhao Chen looked up at the bodyguard and said casually: "Kill him."
"Yes!" Qin Sanpao immediately accepted the order.
Such a rapid processing speed made the guards themselves confused.
He originally thought that Zhao Chen wanted to interrogate him first, but why did he want to kill him when he came up?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please spare my life."
"I was forced too. It was General Helan. No, it was Helan Chushi who forced me to do this." Dear
Wei quickly begged for mercy and instantly put all the responsibilities on Helan Chushi.
"Your Highness?"
"What did General Helan's bodyguard just say, Your Highness?"
"Aren't they bandits?" ??
"what's going on?"
The sharp-eared soldiers of the Cangzhou Army couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts when they heard the guards calling His Highness Zhao Chen.
"The person in front of you is His Highness the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty!"
"You attack the King of Han and you will be punished with death, don't you know?" Qin Sanpao walked forward to the soldiers of the Cangzhou Army and shouted loudly.
"ah?"
"What?"
"How can it be?"
"How could it be His Highness the King of Han?"
"I don't know. Didn't you say they were bandits?"
The moment the Cangzhou Army soldiers heard Qin Sanpao's words, their emotions collapsed.
How did they know that the person they were following to deal with was actually His Highness the King of Han?
If they attack and kill the king of Han, their ten lives will not be enough to kill him.
"Your Highness, I don't know about this!"
"We were all told that we were going to deal with bandits. Who knew it was His Highness the King of Han?"
"Your Highness, King of Han, spare your life!"
A group of Cangzhou Army soldiers dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground desperately begging for mercy.
Attacking and killing the King of Han, once the crime was proven, not only would their lives be in danger, but their families would also die.
This is a capital crime for the three clans.
Hundreds of people knelt on the ground begging for mercy, and the scene was quite grand.
Zhao Chen waved his hand, if only a few people would be killed, but there were hundreds of people in front of him, and they were also deceived, so they could be spared their lives.
"Everyone, get up. I know that you have been deceived by traitors, and I will not hold you accountable."
"Hand over your weapons and wait until daybreak to gather at the camp outside the city."
"Wait until you, General Helan, come back from suppressing the bandits." After Zhao Chen said that, he looked at Helan Chushi's personal guards again.
"Your Highness, spare your life!"
"I was also forced by that Helan Chushi..."
"Kill him!" Zhao Chen waved his hand and did not listen to the guards' excuses.
Regardless of whether this person was deceived by Helan Chushi or not, someone must die here today.
Otherwise, where is your dignity?
The guard was dragged down by Qin Sanpao, his head was chopped off in front of everyone, and his head was hung on a tree branch.
All the Cangzhou Army soldiers were so shocked that they did not dare to say anything.
Many people even dare not breathe loudly.
The white fish belly on the horizon gradually became clearer, and a ray of sunlight reflected from the distance.
Wu Xu sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and glanced at the cavalry behind him, and asked curiously: "Where did they come from?"
"It doesn't seem like the Black Armor Army."
Wu Xu recognized the Xuanjia Army. These cavalrymen clearly did not look like the Xuanjia Army.
At least the momentum is quite different.
Moreover, Qin Sanpao was obviously not familiar with these people.
"We're coming from the north to help." Zhao Chen only gave a general idea.
"North?"
"Who is it, sent by Xu Shiji?" But Wu Xu was obviously ready to get to the bottom of it.
"No, a little further north."
"Further north? Further north is Goguryeo."
"Well, we have to go a little further." Zhao Chen thought for a while before saying.
"Goguryeo is still going over, so isn't it time to reach Silla and Baekje?"
"They sent cavalry to help you?" Wu Xu obviously didn't believe Zhao Chen's statement.
But it is what it is.
These cavalrymen were built by Cheng Chumo in the Tang Dynasty.
They were originally planning to go to Silla and Baekje battlefields to train troops, but no, before they set off, Zhao Chen used them first.
