Chapter 104: A small test!
Chapter 104: A small test!
Chu Ning didn't know that Ling Feiyan was going to cause trouble again. As soon as he left the East Palace, he met Zhao Yu who was guarding there.
Seeing Chu Ning coming out, Zhao Yu's worried expression instantly disappeared, and he rushed forward and bowed: "Greetings, Your Highness!"
"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go back home!"
"This... Your Highness, the Crown Prince..."
"never mind."
Chu Ning said as he walked out of the palace.
But Zhao Yu, who was behind him, caught up with a guilty look on his face: "Your Highness, I was worried that something might happen to you, so I just sent someone to ask Guan Yun to bring his men here."
Chu Ning rolled his eyes: "Why make such a big fuss about such a small matter? They are my trump cards and must not be exposed in advance."
After thinking for a while, Chu Ning walked quickly out of the palace: "Hurry up and leave the palace. If you don't see me, Guan Yun might bring people to cause trouble."
Zhao Yu did not dare to delay and followed immediately.
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of the palace, and as soon as they passed, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside.
Chu Ning's expression changed slightly: "Go and stop them quickly, don't let them get close to the palace!"
These were the troops that he had worked so hard to build, and they must not be exposed before they set off. Otherwise, once Zhao Feiyan got the news, she would definitely notify the front-line troops of the Great Zhao to be prepared.
Zhao Yu understood that the matter was of great importance, and immediately he flashed and rushed out as a shadow.
When Chu Ning left the palace, Zhao Yu's figure had disappeared, and the sound of horse hooves also disappeared.
It seems that he was stopped!
Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the guards on the city wall: "Those are my personal soldiers. They are here to pick me up. You don't have to worry!"
After saying that, he jumped on his horse and headed in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.
Although the imperial guards at the palace heard the sound of horse hooves, their vision was obstructed at night and the sound of horse hooves had disappeared. Chu Ning also said that they were the guards of the prince's palace, so they naturally would not interfere.
After galloping for a while, Chu Ning arrived at the street, and what he saw was a group of cavalrymen riding white horses!
The attire of this group of soldiers is very special. All of the armor they wear is light armor that only protects the vital parts of the body.
The soldier held a long spear in his hand and carried a bag on his back, which was filled with short spears that gleamed coldly. A longbow was hung on his waist and a quiver was hung on his horse's back.
Guan Yun, who was talking to Zhao Yu, immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Highness, I received the news and was worried that your Highness might be in trouble, so I brought the cavalry here specially."
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "I am fine, but it is beyond my expectation that you can rush to the palace in such a short time."
Chu Ning glanced at everyone present and showed a look of satisfaction.
The armor on this group of people, the spears in their hands, and the longbows on their waists were all made by him at a huge cost!
Although their number is small, if they are used as surprise troops, they will definitely play a decisive role on the battlefield.
Looking at the cavalrymen waiting for his orders, Chu Ning smiled and said, "There will be a special training tonight. You must rush to the city west camp as quickly as possible and surround the soldiers and horses in the camp!
Zhao Yu, this is a surprise attack. You lead the team in person, but don't harm the lives of those prisoners. Teach them a lesson and suppress Ran Ming's arrogance, lest he thinks he has someone in his hands and can look down on everyone else."
Now that the cavalry has come out, they certainly can't come out in vain. This is a good opportunity to test their power, teach the prisoners a lesson, and also give Ran Ming a reminder!
The cavalrymen have finally come out, so naturally they have to be assigned tasks.
Let’s treat this actual combat confrontation as a rehearsal before going to the front line!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu immediately bowed and saluted, then led the cavalry straight to the military camp.
"Your Highness will be escorted back to the palace!" Guan Yun took over Zhao Yu's task of guarding Chu Ning.
Guan Yun was in charge of the heavy infantry, and Zhao Yu was responsible for training the cavalry, so he had no objection to Chu Ning's order.
Under Guan Yun's escort, Chu Ning returned to the palace smoothly.
Zhao Yu led the cavalry and headed straight for the camp according to Chu Ning's order.
At this moment, everyone in the camp was fast asleep, even the soldiers guarding the camp gate were dozing off.
It was already the second half of the night, the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness, people's spirits also declined at this time, and their vigilance was not as high as in the first half of the night.
It was not until the deafening sound of horse hooves was heard that the soldiers guarding the door reacted.
When I opened my eyes, I saw rows of war horses rushing towards me!
"I...am I dazzled?"
"So many cavalrymen, why are they coming towards us?"
"Oh no! They are about to charge the camp. Blow the horn quickly!"
The soldiers guarding the camp reacted immediately. Some of them immediately closed the camp gate, while others ran in and blew the horns.
Ran Ming, who was sleeping soundly, heard the horn and immediately became furious: "Which bastard blew the horn in the middle of the night!"
A soldier immediately came in to report: "It's bad, a cavalry rushed into the camp, and now our people have been scattered."
Ran Ming was furious: "Someone actually dared to come and make trouble, I will chop them into pieces!"
After he finished speaking, he picked up the halberd from the weapon rack next to him and rushed out as a shadow.
However, when he got outside the camp, he was dumbfounded.
The ground was full of prisoners running away, cavalry chasing them everywhere, the scene was filled with constant shouting and chaos.
Ran Ming was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and roared, "Everyone come here, I will lead you to kill them!"
Ran Ming, who was furious, let out a long roar, and his aura suddenly exploded. He picked up the spear that had fallen on the ground with the halberd in his hand and threw it fiercely at a cavalryman in front of him.
When the cavalryman heard the sound of breaking air, he immediately grabbed the saddle with one hand and fell to the side. When the spear flew past, the cavalryman pulled the saddle and got back on the horse.
Such superb horsemanship made Ran Ming stunned for a moment, and then his face became gloomy.
With such amazing horsemanship, where does this cavalry come from?
"Hmph, wait till I catch someone alive and ask him!"
Ran Ming gathered the soldiers around him and rushed towards the cavalry.
But at this moment, a sound of breaking air came from the side, and a silver spear came whistling!
Ran Ming snorted coldly, without even turning his head, he swung out with his halberd!
"Qiang!"
The man shook his hands, and even the warhorse under his crotch paused.
Ran Ming turned around and wanted to attack, but when he saw that the person coming was Zhao Yu, he was dumbfounded again.
"Why is it Brother Zhao Yu!" Ran Ming asked blankly.
Zhao Yu retracted his spear, shook his numb arms, and said with a wry smile: "Your strength is truly unmatched!"
After sighing, Zhao Yu said seriously: "I am following the order of the prince to lead the cavalry here to see your response capabilities. Don't worry, the cavalry did not hurt them, but drove them together and controlled them."
After hearing this, Ran Ming looked into the distance and found that the prisoners in the camp were driven away by war horses and divided and surrounded in dozens of open spaces.
It turns out that this was a test from the prince to himself!
However, not only did he fail to organize an effective confrontation, he even suffered a complete defeat.
Ran Ming was ashamed and said, "It's my fault. I will go back and apologize to the prince."
Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "Okay, the prince is just worried that you have so many people under your control and have such a bad temper, so he deliberately arranged this!
However, your men should be trained well, otherwise they will die on the battlefield."
Ran Ming's face straightened: "I understand. Starting tomorrow, I will train them according to the prince's instructions!"
At this moment, Ran Ming and the prisoners truly witnessed the cruelty of war.
If Zhao Yu's cavalry had not shown mercy, they would have been killed tonight!
Everyone understands that the battlefield is much more cruel than this.
This surprise attack completely made Ran Ming and the 10,000 prisoners determined to train!
And this news reached the emperor's ears the next day.
"Ten thousand men were overwhelmed by five hundred men?"
The emperor's eyes widened and he stared at the shadow guard who was reporting in front of him with an expression of disbelief.
