Chapter 57: Stone Skin
Just when the two businessmen were discussing strange goods and planning to gamble, Liu Tao's troops had already headed towards Wangdu County. In the end, it was less than three miles, and in less than two quarters of an hour, it had already arrived.
"Qin You, the county commander of Wangdu County, has seen the general!" As soon as he came to the gate of the county seat, Qin You, the county commander who was guarding here, brought the county lieutenant and the county officer, as well as a cadre of county officials, to pay a visit.
The county lieutenant needs to be appointed by the imperial court, such as the chief bookkeeper, the chief historian and the Cao Peng officials, and the county magistrate. At that time, Zhu Jun served as the county chief secretary without showing filial piety, which was also based on this principle.
"The county order doesn't need to be polite, now that the yellow turban thieves are in trouble, the county order can stick to Wangdu County, which really makes Liu admire." Liu Tao saluted Qin You, and had to introduce himself.
"Liu Sima has a good reputation, and it is a matter of his official duty to shepherd and guard the place for the imperial court." Qin You was a little flattered when he heard this, Liu Tao's meaning was very clear, and he didn't care about the issue of his surrender to the Yellow Turban Thief, Wangdu County was regarded as 'never falling'.
Of course, Liu Tao's promise is meaningless at this stage. It's just that if the imperial court wins after the war and is liquidated, Liu Tao's war report mentions this situation, then he is not only without fault, but meritorious...... Qin You was actually a little entangled for a while.
It's just that the county lieutenant secretly gave him a look, and Qin You was immediately stunned. A thief for a day, a thief for life, he said that he had to submit to the thief in order to protect the local people, but who would believe it? Who can prove it?!
"Liu Sima came from afar, I'm afraid that he will be sleepy and tired, why don't you enter the city and rest for a few days?" Qin You could only follow the advance plan and invite Liu Tao into the city, "The people in the city are waiting for the arrival of the king when they know about the arrival of the king. ”
It's not the people who are waiting for you, it's obviously the thieves you are ambushing, right? Liu Tao laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, he originally planned to give him a chance, since he was so uninteresting, he didn't blame him for being ruthless!
Alas, these days, I just can't feel like a good person......
He was about to enter the city with the army, but when he saw the main book, he was facing him, and raised his left hand slightly, and the words 'there was an ambush' vaguely written on the palm. The time was very short, and when Liu Tao saw it, he took it back directly.
Unexpectedly, there are still loyal ministers in this Wangdu County! Liu Tao sighed that he had already ordered in advance to let the soldiers prepare for battle, and take the army as a unit to strike first. In the case of street fighting, the use of spears will be limited, but when they come out of Puyin County, each spear warrior is equipped with a ring-headed knife at his waist.
Most of them are Zhuang Ding of the Zhang family, many of whom have been caravan guards, and they have also learned a few knife techniques. When the battle array is scattered, an extra ring-head knife can be regarded as an additional means to save your life.
With sword and shield soldiers as the mainstay, and pikemen as units, waiting for an opportunity to counter and ambush soldiers, this is Liu Tao's military order.
At the same time, he warned all the soldiers that after entering the city, all the 'people' they encountered on the main road were ambushes, and that there should be no mercy of women. It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go, so as not to lose yourself!
This is just a routine matter, as far as these soldiers under Liu Tao are concerned, the military order has been issued, and there will definitely be no superfluous thoughts.
"The county order is full of fists, I can't refuse, and I will rest all night in the county seat......" Liu Tao smiled at Qin You, then looked at Guan Yu, and ordered, "Order the sword and shield soldiers to lead the city and open the way for our army!" ”
"Whoa!" Guan Yu received the order and immediately ordered to go down, and the sword and shield soldiers came out of the ranks and took the lead in entering the city.
"County order, let's go in together?" Liu Tao gestured to Qin You.
"Well, it's good......" Qin Youmu Ran nodded, and his sixth sense told him that things were going to be bad.
The county lieutenant frowned, the Han general in front of him actually ordered the army to enter the city, which was somewhat unexpected by him. But it doesn't matter, as long as Liu Tao goes in, then naturally they will have no return!
Just now, he also confirmed that the soldiers under Liu Tao's command are afraid that there are about 1,000, and more than 70 cavalry will not be able to play a role in the city at all. The remaining 1,000 men were supposed to be baggage troops, and as soon as the soldiers died, the auxiliaries seemed to scatter and flee. In the end, it seems to be a caravan, and the thousand horses in the team are really eye-catching!
The procession slowly entered the city, and many pedestrians were already seen in the distance, but after seeing the army, they stopped what they were doing, stood on both sides, and shouted: "Welcome to the king!" ”
The welcome of the sandwich road does mean a little bit, if it weren't for the fact that there were no women among them, even if there were a few beautiful girls, the heart would be much more comfortable. The most unsuccessful place is to let a group of yellow turban thieves who have a grudge against the court pretend to be passers-by, although they are jubilant, many people have a faint sense of resentment on their faces.
Qin You was talking endlessly, constantly talking to Liu Tao, and several other county officials also followed suit, talking to the generals in the army, as if they were planning to attract everyone's attention, so as not to notice the unnatural expressions of those 'people'.
"It's almost ......" traveled about 100 meters, and halfway through the main road, Liu Tao suddenly said something.
"What?" The county magistrate was a little puzzled, and Liu Tao suddenly said what this sentence meant.
The next moment, I saw Liu Tao raise his hand, wave forward, and shout: "Do it!" ”
The soldiers drew their weapons one after another and slashed at the 'people' on both sides. They were instructed early, and they paid careful attention all the way, and sure enough, they found a lot of clues, and now they naturally didn't hesitate at all!
However, this small environment suddenly became difficult, and both sides were actually a little unpleasant, so for the sake of insurance, Liu Tao still silently cast the earth-based novice-level magic 'stone skin', and some versions are also translated as 'stone skin technique'.
This magic effect is very simple, it costs 10 mana and adds a certain amount of defense to someone.
This value is calculated according to the '4+1.3× mana' at the soil novice level. In other words, at this stage, Liu Tao can use this magic to attach 9 defense points to someone. Since the 'Earth Comprehension I.' has been unlocked, it adds 9 defense points to the entire army.
The disadvantage is that it doesn't stack, which means that even if he uses this magic twice, he can't stack the soldier's defense to 18 points. But the magic of different departments can be stacked, but he has not yet learned the magic of other departments to increase defense.
If necessary, perform the healing technique immediately! Liu Tao meditated in his heart, since he unlocked the 'Bright Understanding I.', he found that when he performed the 'healing technique', his hands no longer showed light, but the healing effect still existed.
Or rather, the magic became too high-end, so he could feel it, but others couldn't see it or feel it. It's good that you can cast spells more stealthily in the future.
"Liu Sima, you ......" Qin You had no master of the six gods at the moment, and he saw the shouting and killing around him. The soldiers under Liu Tao's command began to attack, and the Yellow Turban thieves who reacted also took out weapons to fight back one after another, but he was frightened.
"Surprised?" Liu Tao looked at him playfully, "I gave you a chance before I entered the city!" ”
"But why?" Qin You exclaimed, the conspiracy was revealed and he actually missed the last chance, these two emotions surged up, and his expression was a little distorted for a while.
"Your command, you have a good master book!" Liu Tao sighed, "If you are arrested now, you may be able to leave a whole corpse!" ”
"I'll kill you!" Qin You was about to pull out the saber at his waist, but he didn't want to kill Liu Tao in the next second.
