Chapter 64 The Prince's Battle for Succession
Chapter 64 The Prince's Battle for Succession
The sudden change caught everyone off guard.
After Tian Baonu gave the order, the Northern Yuan cavalry behind him no longer hesitated.
There was a fierce light in his eyes, full of murderous intent.
More than a hundred cavalrymen swept in like a storm.
This scene made Aluhan, who was kneeling on the ground, look up suddenly, and a gleam of disbelief flashed across his eyes.
He pursed his lips tightly, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He quickly lowered his head again, trying to remain calm in the chaos.
Lu Yunyi was also shocked by this sudden scene.
His pupils contracted sharply, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
After a moment's hesitation, he quickly drew out the long sword from his waist.
Accompanied by a roar, the sound vibrated in the air.
"The Northern Yuan court betrayed its promise and welcomed the enemy!"
As soon as the words fell, the sound of long swords being drawn could be heard all around.
More than 80 people surrounded Lu Yunyi tightly.
His eyes were alert as he stared at the Northern Yuan cavalry that was approaching in a pack.
Liu Heiying, who was standing beside Lu Yunyi, turned pale, drew out his long sword, stood in front of Lu Yunyi, and whispered:
"The situation is not good, you go first."
After hearing this, Lu Yunyi raised his voice sharply:
"Escape? What's the point of running away!
There are only a few of us left out of the thousand. If we run away again, wouldn’t we be cowards?
There is no one in my Naiman tribe who is afraid of fighting!
These Beiyuan people are treacherous. We have gone through so much trouble to deliver a letter and seek asylum, but they are being strangled for no reason. Let's fight them!"
Then, he saw a hint of hesitation in the eyes of the hundreds of soldiers around him, and continued to shout:
"I hold the seal of the Sun Khan and am the Taiji of the Naiman tribe.
You guys don't dare to use your swords against the Ming army, but instead aim at us grassland people?"
As the words fell, it was obvious that the people around Tian Baonu looked at each other in confusion, and couldn't help but cast their eyes on Tian Baonu.
But his face was still gloomy and cold, staring at the more than 80 people led by Lu Yunyi.
Seeing that he still had no intention of stopping,
Lu Yunyi's heart sank, and he threw the few pieces of dried meat in his hand into his mouth.
He then tightly grasped his long sword and looked sharply at the more than a hundred cavalrymen who surrounded him!
Without any hesitation, he slashed down with the long sword in his hand and pulled the reins.
He charged at the hundred or so people,
Liu Heiying and his soldiers no longer hesitated.
With a loud shout, he spurred his horse and charged in all directions!
Though pale with hunger,
But they were still not afraid, and their whole bodies revealed a determination to fight to the death.
The distance of less than ten feet was passed in a flash under the charge of the warhorse.
Lu Yunyi led the way, his eyes fixed on a middle-aged man in his thirties. He should be the centurion of this cavalry.
The surrounding cavalry seemed to be led by him!
When the man saw Lu Yunyi rushing towards him, he was not panicked at all, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But there was some fear in his expression, after all, the identity of the person in front of him was extraordinary.
After a little thought, the man drew out his long sword and met the blade of Lu Yunyi!
But the next moment, his expression changed, replaced by a look of deep horror.
The long sword in front of him was as sharp as the wind, and it had already chopped him down heavily before he could even anticipate it.
Even if this is the case, it doesn't matter. It was blocked in the end.
but.
He was caught off guard by the force of the long sword.
A bang!
The centurion's scimitar fell to the ground.
The long sword in Lu Yunyi's hand did not stop. It turned straight into a curve the moment it fell and rushed towards the centurion's neck!
Lu Yunyi's face was calm, his eyes were calm,
There was no emotion in his eyes as he looked at the centurion, as if he was looking at a dead body!
"Whoosh!"
The long knife swept across!
The centurion's head was intact, but the long, thick beard on his face was cut off!
The sharp long knife scraped across the centurion's neck, turning his skin inside out and trickling blood slowly out.
A moment later, shouts of killing rang out all around, and the sound of knife handles colliding continued.
More than eighty people collided heavily with more than a hundred people, fighting back and forth!
Lu Yunyi noticed that there was no movement in the distance.
His heart sank again, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Without hesitation, he forcibly stopped the long sword that was swinging diagonally downward, preparing to launch a fatal blow.
To everyone's horror, he fell heavily again!
The reason why Lu Yunyi didn't chop off the centurion's head with the last blow was that he held back.
But since Tianbao Nu had no intention of stopping, he would not hold back.
The sharp long sword, reflecting the chilling cold air, passed diagonally from above without any hindrance.
While the centurion was still in shock, the sword pierced the Northern Yuan man's neck in an instant!
The sound of the long knife chopping bones was extremely crisp, with the sound of breaking through the air and the sound of blood splattering, ringing in everyone's heart.
Tian Baonu narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene and murmured:
"What a fast knife, what great strength."
In battle, if it weren't for the momentum of the warhorse,
It is very rare to chop off an enemy's head with just a swing of the sword, at least he can't do it.
Tian Baonu's eyes swept across the battlefield, and finally stopped at the fat man.
His sword power was also extremely powerful, and every swing of the sword could break through the obstruction of the person blocking the way, thus causing damage!
Tian Baonu slightly turned his head, looked at the big man beside him, and asked:
"how?"
The big man stared at the battlefield and answered in a muffled voice:
"The southwest is adjacent to the Ming Dynasty. It has fertile soil, abundant crops, and a lot of rice and flour. It breeds warriors with great strength.
Judging from the strength displayed by the person in front of him, he is indeed a member of the Naiman tribe.
After all, there haven’t been any smart people in their tribe in recent years, but they are full of military power.”
Tian Baonu asked in a deep voice: "In your opinion, should these people be kept or killed?"
The big man looked respectful, bowed his head slightly, and replied, "It's all up to Your Highness to decide."
Tian Baonu nodded with satisfaction, his eyes lingering on the people fighting.
His eyes were full of admiration, and he didn't even look at the dead Northern Yuan cavalry.
But the next moment, Tianbaonu's face changed!
I saw that the Naiman people who were still fighting in front of me began to gather together at some point.
They separated from various places and finally formed a charge team led by 'Arisleng'.
It is attacking towards him without hesitation!
Lu Yunyi rode his horse forward, his blade stained with blood and his face stained with the mess of battle.
His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at the Tianbao slave sitting high on his warhorse, and he let out a thunderous roar:
"We fled from the Ming army, and now... the Yuan court wants to kill us too. We can't run away anymore!"
"My fellow tribesmen, use up all your last bit of strength and charge!"
"Let these Yuanting people see how brave we, the people of the Naiman tribe, are!"
The sound rolled in, and a tragic momentum began to spread.
In an instant, panic appeared on Tianbaonu's face!
Although there are not many horses charging at us,
But the momentum was extraordinary, as if thousands of troops were attacking him.
"Stop them!" Tian Baonu gave the order coldly, retreating little by little.
When Lu Yunyi saw this scene, he laughed arrogantly:
"Hahaha, the Yuanting Taiji is just so-so, he can't compare to my Naiman Taiji!"
The soldiers around looked at each other in bewilderment,
But they still swarmed forward and stood in front of Tianbao Nu!
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded again from afar. Looking in the direction of the sound,
I saw more than a thousand cavalrymen galloping over, and another giant ochre dragon appeared between the sky and the earth.
Liu Heiying, who was following Lu Yunyi, changed his expression and shouted:
"Brother Yun'er, reinforcements are coming. It will be too late if we don't leave now."
A trace of haze flashed in Lu Yunyi's eyes. He looked into the distance, then looked at Tianbao slave in front of him. The haze dissipated, and was replaced by a strong sense of ruthlessness!
"I can't retreat! Now that I've come this far, I won't stop until I kill Tianbao's slaves!"
It must be said that everything has now exceeded Lu Yunyi's expectations.
Originally in his plan, relying on the seal of the Sun Khan and his identity,
In the Yuan court, not to mention the courtesy, safety is guaranteed.
But I never expected to meet Tianbao Nu in this wilderness. He is a man with a kind face but a black heart.
Here, the seal and identity of the Sun Khan cannot protect them.
It doesn't matter if I kill them on the spot. The worst that can happen is I can just make up a lie.
Therefore, Lu Yunyi has already had some thoughts of escaping far away, but before that he still has to collect some interest!
Lu Yunyi's eyes froze, and his heartbeat dropped to the lowest level.
My mind was extremely sharp, and everything in front of me was like slow motion, with nothing hidden.
He could even see a hint of panic in Tianbaonu's eyes.
Lu Yunyi slashed with the long sword in his hand, and in an instant he killed two Northern Yuan soldiers who rushed over.
The warhorse continued to charge towards the retreating Tianbao slave!
"Stop them! Stop them!!"
With less than a hundred people charging into the battle formation, even the Northern Yuan army could not bear it.
They can also use their numbers to stop the enemy calmly, and at most a few people will die.
But now, because of the existence of Tianbao Slave, the entire battle formation was in chaos, without a single order, and could only continue to converge inwards!
This gave Lu Yunyi and Liu Heiying an opportunity. They were both extremely powerful and no one could withstand their blows.
In this way, with the two of them as the arrows,
The battle formation of less than a hundred people stabbed in like a sharp knife, tearing a hole in the battle formation of more than a thousand people.
The shouts and cries of killing continued, the sound of long swords piercing into flesh and blood rang out one after another, and from time to time Lu Yunyi's shouts could be heard.
"The people of Yuanting are treacherous. Kill them!"
"We can't go back anymore, kill Tianbao slaves!"
Every time a voice sounded, Tian Baonu's face turned pale.
At this moment, he had already believed that the person in front of him was from the Naiman tribe.
Only they would charge into the battle line so recklessly, not seeking to escape, but to die together!
However, this thrilling scene before my eyes,
The security guard who had just arrived was dumbfounded and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Aluhan finally recovered from his shock, stumbled towards Dibaonu, and shouted anxiously:
"Second Prince!! Ariseleng is the Taiji of the Naiman tribe. He has the seal of the Sun Khan on him. The Taiji wants to kill him!"
"what?"
Dibaonu was shocked again, and then a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart, and he looked at Aluhan:
"Is this true?"
"That's right, Arsleng went to Nahachu to ask for help.
I met Tatars on the road, and they came to deliver a letter, but Taiji wanted to kill them!"
Aluhan quickly told what had just happened.
Hearing this, Di Baonu had a strange look on his face and stopped at the chaotic battle formation.
Next to Dibaonu, an old man whispered:
"Your Highness, let this man die here.
Since he helped the Tatars deliver the message, he must be related to the dispatch of troops and he is indebted to our Yuan court.
Moreover, the status of the Naiman Taiji was prominent, if he died at the hands of Tianbao Nu.
It will be difficult for them to explain to the Khan, and they can then use this as an excuse to cause trouble."
Di Baonu's eyes flickered with excitement, and he looked towards the battlefield with anticipation.
However, Tian Baonu noticed something strange here, looked over, and saw a face that made him familiar and disgusted!
Landlord slave! !
Why is he here!
He saw Aluhan standing in front of the slave again, with a flattering look on his face. He was immediately furious and cursed with gnashing teeth in his heart:
"This dog slave!! He is actually his man!!!"
At this time, the big man from before came over, holding a long sword with a serious expression, and spoke in a low voice:
"Taiji, stop now, the Second Prince is coming down."
Tian Baonu's face was gloomy. He looked across the battlefield and suddenly found that there were corpses lying on the ground.
And that 'Arisleng' was still charging, his whole body soaked with blood!
While feeling apprehensive in his heart, his face was gloomy:
"How do you explain it?"
"No need to explain. Your Highness is the Taiji. You just need to take this man back and no one else can say anything." said the big man.
Tianbaonu grasped the seal in his arms through his clothes, with an unwilling look on his face!
"Forget it. I wanted to present the seal to the Khan, but now I can only give it to him in a letter."
"Letters are equally useful."
The big man had already sensed the murderous aura coming towards him, a trace of fear flashed across his face, and he quickly spoke.
Tianbao Nu nodded slightly, then waved his hand and ordered:
“Stop!!”
The horses of the Northern Yuan cavalry slowly came to a halt.
Lu Yunyi, who was charging forward, heard the shout and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Then he looked at the soldier in front of him who was no longer attacking.
There was a ruthlessness flashing in his eyes, and without any hesitation, he swung the long sword out again!
A scream suddenly sounded, causing everyone to look at each other in bewilderment.
Tianbaonu was furious:
"How dare you! Stop it!"
Lu Yunyi sat quietly on the battlefield, with an arrogant look on his face, and glanced at Tian Baonu with contempt.
He casually shook off the blood on the long knife and said in a loud voice:
"My fellow tribesmen, the Yuan court has betrayed us.
You must escape from here and tell the Tatars what happened here.
Let them know that the Yuan court cannot be trusted and cannot send troops!! "
Tian Baonu's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but feel panic in his heart.
The eyes of the local security guard who was standing quietly on the side were shining brightly!
"Second Prince, you must save him. With this person here, Taiji cannot escape responsibility and will definitely be reprimanded by the Khan!"
The old man next to the land security slave spoke quickly, his eyes full of greed as he looked at Lu Yunyi.
Several plans to embarrass Tianbao Nu flashed through Dibao Nu's mind, and he became more and more eager to try them.
"Wouldn't it be better to let this man escape?"
The old man frowned, his face gloomy, and said sternly:
"Second Prince! Whether the Tatars send troops or not is a matter of life and death for the imperial court. We cannot make plans based on this.
You have to put the overall situation first and show more loyalty to the country than Taiji, only then will you have a chance!"
Dibaonu was stunned and nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
The next moment, the guard tightened the reins and waved his hand heavily:
"Save them."
The cavalry around him immediately rushed out like wild horses, and the ground began to shake violently.
Hearing this, Lu Yunyi and Liu Heiying looked at each other silently.
They all saw the weirdness in each other's eyes.
Judging from the performance of these two people,
The people of the grassland are worthy of studying Chinese studies. Even this prince has learned how to compete for favor in a very good way!
They watched Tianbao's soldiers warily and slowly retreated. At the same time, Lu Yunyi whispered:
"If the situation gets bad, break out."
"Hmm." A gleam of light flashed in Liu Heiying's small eyes, and he kept scanning the soldiers who surrounded them.
Tian Baonu saw this scene and glared at him.
"Dibaonu! What are you doing!!"
