The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 268: Great Defeat and Crisis
Two thousand people are enough to attack a small county town. Attacking the industrial park here is simply disastrous. Once they are allowed to attack, the industrial park will definitely be destroyed in a short time.
If the people living there were all civilians with no power to resist, they would most likely be killed by this group of people in the end. Even if there were tens of thousands of people, they would not be enough for them to kill.
Not long after they appeared, the people in the distance were seen hiding in the section of the city wall where the lights could not reach.
The leaders of the group looked at the city wall with cold eyes and murderous intent. When they rushed to the bottom of the city wall, they saw some people throwing hooks with ropes onto the wall.
For a city wall of this height, a hook can be used to climb up the city wall. It is convenient and practical, and better than a ladder that is inconvenient to carry.
Seeing the hook hooked on the city wall, the men in black showed surprise in their eyes. They hurriedly began to climb up, while the three leading men watched quietly below.
In the blink of an eye, these people had climbed most of the distance, with several people climbing up together on a rope.
Just when they were about to climb up the city wall, suddenly, a lot of people appeared on the wall, holding torches in their hands, illuminating the entire wall.
Before the man in black who was climbing the wall could react, he saw someone on the wall cut the rope with a knife. The man in black who had just climbed halfway changed his face and his eyes were filled with fear.
The moment the rope broke, they fell heavily down. Those who climbed to the top pressed down on those at the bottom. Several people on one rope were all seriously injured by this fall.
Seeing this, the men in black below were shocked. When they came to their senses, they knew they had been tricked.
The leading commander made a prompt decision and quickly issued an order to retreat. But just as he gave the order, a whistling sound suddenly came from the city wall. Three fireworks soared into the sky, illuminating the space in front of them.
This is……
The group of men in black looked at the fireworks rising into the sky in astonishment. Before they could come to their senses, they heard a series of popping sounds.
A burst of fire erupted from the city wall, and countless men in black fell down, blood splattering on their bodies, their eyes showing fear.
At the same time, countless objects with flames were thrown among them, and bursts of explosions sounded among these people.
Screams rang out one after another. The men in black who were close to the city wall were frightened by the scene before them and turned around and tried to escape.
But before they escaped far, they heard bursts of banging sounds in front of them, and countless objects with flames fell among them again.
When the men in black saw that their retreat had been blocked, they were so scared that they rushed to both sides. However, before they had gone far, explosions and bangs were heard from both sides.
The men in black fell down in groups. No matter whether they were facing forward, backward, left or right, there was no way to escape. They were surrounded.
The leading commander, Commander Lian, looked up at the city wall and saw a slender figure in the firelight. Although he could not see the other person's face clearly, he had recognized it.
Standing there was Chu Yan'er, the eighth prince's wife! He felt a surge of fear in his heart, and his face was full of disbelief.
How is this possible! How could the Eighth Prince's wife know that the Sixth Prince had ordered a surprise attack and set up an ambush here?
The fear in his heart reached its peak, and he was even more desperate. With the Eighth Prince's wife here, they would have trouble returning alive, not to mention destroying the industrial park.
"Brothers, charge towards the rear. If you want to survive, the only chance is in that direction!" Forcing himself to calm down, the commander shouted wildly to the group of men in black.
Following his voice, a group of men in black changed direction and rushed into the darkness behind them.
But there were bangs coming from the front, and flames that followed the sounds. Every time there was a spray, there was a man in black.
At the same time, the people who were ambushing around also pressed forward, making their living space smaller and smaller. No matter which direction they went, no matter how many people gathered, it was obvious that they could not break out of the enemy's firepower network.
Chu Yan'er looked at the dying black-clothed men below, with a hint of mockery on her lips and a cold look in her eyes. The Sixth Prince wanted to attack the industrial park and give her husband a surprise.
Then she would give the other party a surprise. When he knew that the people he sent out were completely wiped out, she wondered what he would do!
The battle continued, it was extremely brutal and one-sided. After about an hour, almost all the men in black were killed.
Only a few people escaped, and Dai Yunzong caught one of them. This person was sent to Chu Yan'er.
When she saw this person, Chu Yan'er showed joy on her face. The captured person turned out to be the deputy commander of the personal guards of the Sixth Prince Jiang Zheng's mansion.
With this person here, keeping him may be of great use to my husband. Doesn't the other party want to give my husband a surprise? Then let my husband give him a surprise.
After the battlefield was cleared, all the bodies were piled together and burned. In addition, several prisoners who were seriously injured but not dead were found among the bodies.
"Xiao Lan, prepare a few prisoner cars and take the prisoners back to the capital. By the way, announce to the public that someone attacked Huaining Industrial Park and has been killed, and several important prisoners have been captured."
"Also, send someone to deliver a letter to my son-in-law... Make sure the letter is delivered before my son-in-law returns to Beijing!"
Chu Yan'er said calmly to Chu Xiaolan beside her.
Chu Xiaolan hurriedly took the order and left. Chu Yan'er also assembled her troops and rushed to the capital at a very fast speed. Her husband should be returning to the capital in the next two days, so she should prepare a big gift for him!
…………
On Jiang Fan's side, when it was almost dawn, the team was preparing to set off, but at this moment, bursts of dense horse hoof sounds were heard all around.
Nearly 500 cavalrymen were approaching from four directions. Seeing this, Zhong Ling and Su Yuqing's faces changed slightly. They quickly protected Jiang Fan in front of them.
Jiang Fan raised his lips, his eyes flashing with coldness. Five hundred people came to attack, the number was not too many, but not too few either.
If he didn't send anyone, five hundred people would not be enough for him to deal with, but if he sent people out, it would be hard to say.
His sixth brother had made a very thorough calculation. The other party had probably calculated that he would send out at least 2,000 men. If there were only 800 men left, it would be enough to rely on these 500 men to charge once and kill Zhao Jingzhong.
However, in order to create opportunities for the other side and lure people out, Jiang Fan transferred 2,500 people away.
Now it was 300 to 500, and they might even be at a disadvantage. The other side might not only want to kill Zhao Jingzhong, but also want to kill him together.
Among the cavalry group on the opposite side, the leader looked at Jiang Fan's position with a look of ridicule and contempt on his face.
He thought that it might take some effort to kill someone today, but he didn't expect that they were facing only three hundred people at this time.
Of the 2,800-man army, that idiot Jiang Fan actually sent out 2,500 in a hurry! Only 300 people were left around.
The people sent out to monitor have reported that 2,500 people have already rushed to Huaining and it is impossible for them to come back to rescue. It is for this reason that he chose to take action at this time.
He believed that Jiang Fan only had so few people, so he could not only kill Zhao Jingzhong today, but even Jiang Fan in front of him.
With a cold snort, he waved to the people around him, and five hundred cavalrymen rushed towards where Jiang Fan was.
