Quick Travel: Cannon fodder, she always encounters yandere and paranoid people

*

The camp in the back mountain.

Jin Guogong, General Zuo and others from the second prince's party are discussing countermeasures together. They all support the second prince as the heir apparent.

But during this period, the emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and he was becoming more and more important to the prince. If they didn't take action by taking advantage of the emperor's trip to Jiangnan this time.

I'm afraid there will be no chance to seize the throne in the future.

Now that their troops have been mobilized, the emperor only brought a few thousand elite soldiers for this trip. As long as the right time, place and people are right, he can seize the throne in one fell swoop.

So what if the prince is now in the capital overseeing the country?When they forced the emperor to write an edict of abdication and pass the throne to the second prince, the person who sat on the throne would be the second prince.

"Our army has successfully arrived from the mountains to the north, and the ravines here will definitely be surrounded by water!"

General Zuo smiled and said that before Gu Huanzhi went to the battlefield, he was the most respected general in the court. However, Gu Huanzhi's status has risen in recent years, and he has gradually lost his position as the core of the army.

He could only seek refuge with the second prince in order to gain wealth and honor through danger.

"The prince's party is now in the capital. Except for Gu Huanzhi, they will definitely be unstoppable!"

The Duke of Jin touched his white beard and said, and the expressions of everyone present became heavy. Gu Huan knew that this man was brave and good at fighting and had a deep mind.

Besides, there are still black armored guards under his command, so the biggest enemy this time is Gu Huanzhi.

A contemptuous smile appeared on General Zuo's dark face, and then he said:

"Isn't it rumored that he loves his wife extremely much? His Highness has now captured his wife and is threatening his wife's life to see how he will choose."

Several others also agreed, but the second prince's face turned gloomy for a moment when he heard General Zuo's proposal to use Yun Wu as a blackmail.

At this time, the spy hurried in and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Your Highness! General Gu has led the black-armored guards to annihilate all our troops deployed outside the mountain!"

"what!"

The Duke of Jin frowned. He didn't expect Gu Huanzhi to be so fast.

They had previously used the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lead most of Gu Huanzhi's troops far away, and took the opportunity to lead the team to surround the hills near the Jiangnan Villa where the emperor was.

In other words, the emperor was surrounded only by elite soldiers and imperial guards. They had already surrounded them, and it was only a matter of time before they rushed into the other courtyard.

But now I'm afraid I have to act in advance.

General Zuo raised his hand and bowed: "Your Highness, we will lead the troops to attack tonight! If we delay it any longer, when Gu Huanzhi's men arrive, our situation will be unfavorable!"

General Zuo was right. If they didn't attack them, Gu Huanzhi might lead his army to attack them from the rear.

If the prince sent reinforcements to arrive at that time, they would be outflanked.

The second prince slowly stood up from his seat, the armor on his body attracting attention.

"Give me my order, and all the teams will be organized immediately, and they will attack in one fell swoop when night falls!"

As soon as it got dark, Yun Wu was put into a carriage by someone arranged by the second prince. Her hands were tied with hemp rope, and her person was outside.

Yun Wu could only sit in the carriage and listen carefully to their movements outside. They were very noisy, and the sound of the armor and weapons clashing was very clear.

Yun Wu guessed that they were going to take action tonight.

Just as she was thinking about what to do next, she suddenly heard the guard outside shouting "Meet His Highness."

Not long after, the carriage sank, and the second prince opened the curtain and entered. He was wearing silver armor engraved with dragon claws and looked ready to go.

"Ah Wu, tonight I will break into the other courtyard and fulfill my long-cherished wish..."

"Your Highness, do you know that rebellion is a capital crime..."

Yun Wu frowned slightly and said softly, she was not a virgin, she just wanted to persuade the second prince to stop the loss in time.

Although the second prince's personality seemed to her to be... a little...he didn't do anything to hurt her except for knocking her out and kidnapping her this time.

The second prince looked firm and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. If you win, it will be the supreme treasure. If you lose, I have nothing to say."

Yun Wu moved her lips but did not speak. She stroked her belly uneasily.

The second prince again ordered people to carefully guard Yun Wu and then left.

As night falls, the smoke begins...

Just when the second prince's rebels were about to invade the other courtyard with overwhelming force, Gu Huanzhi arrived with the black armored guards.

The second prince's party had a large number of people and could have resisted for a while, but reinforcements sent by the prince arrived from the rear.

Taking advantage of the situation, the second prince and his party were surrounded in the middle.

Logically speaking, sending reinforcements from the capital would take until late at night at the earliest, but the second prince fell into the prince's trick.

He originally thought that the prince was supervising the country and putting all his focus on the capital, but he didn't expect that the prince had secretly deployed troops nearby.

After receiving the message from Gu Huanzhi, they quietly rushed by waterway and cooperated with the black armored guards to outflank the rebel party led by the second prince.

"Your Highness! According to the current situation, it is hopeless to invade! We need to retreat as soon as possible!"

The Duke of Jin led a group of men and horses to the second prince and said, the second prince was riding on the horse with a cold face, and the sword in his hand was dripping with blood.

He frowned tightly and hesitated to give the order.

The black-armored guards in front were looking at him eagerly, and Gu Huanzhi rode up from among them. Riding on the horse, he looked at the leader of the second prince with a vigilant expression.

"Where is my wife now?!"

Gu Huanzhi and the second prince looked at each other in their respective camps. When their eyes met, it seemed like lightning and thunder passed by.

The second prince closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his expression was resolute. He ignored Gu Huanzhi's anger, then raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

"withdraw!"

Forced by attacks from both front and rear, the second prince and the remaining army had no choice but to retreat to the back mountain.

But Gu Huanzhi had been prepared. It was the battle line he arranged that forced them to flee to the back mountain, but at the end of the back mountain was a cliff with no road.

Gu Huanzhi immediately asked a team staying at the exit of the back mountain to block the mountain road, making it impossible to get in or out.

The second prince fled to the back mountain, and Yun Wu was naturally taken with him by his people.

However, the second prince had no time to take care of Yun Wu now. This mistake fell into a trap and the rebels suffered heavy casualties.

General Zuo and others were captured, leaving only the second prince and the Duke of Jin, as well as some remaining elite soldiers. I am afraid that there is no hope of seizing the throne. Now even how to retreat safely is a problem.

The back mountain is desolate and there is no food or water source, and escaping further up is a dead end on the cliff.

After some discussion, the second prince and the Duke of Jin decided to attack the mountain before dawn. There was still a slight chance of breaking through the blockade and escaping to the north.

But obviously they underestimated Gu Huanzhi.

He has been in the army for many years and has made great achievements on the battlefield. Now General Zuo and other generals with combat experience have been captured.

The remaining second prince and the Duke of Jin were inexperienced and had never actually gone into battle to kill the enemy. Gu Huanzhi only used a small trick to kill all their remaining troops.

In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat to the back mountain. However, Gu Huanzhi knew that Yun Wu was in their team and no longer wanted to use roundabout tactics.

All the soldiers were called on to surround the top of the mountain from all directions. The second prince and others retreated steadily until they were finally forced to the cliff on the top of the mountain.

At the end of the day, Jin Guogong came over holding Yun Wu hostage with a knife in hand.

"I wonder who dares to come here?!"
