Chapter 316: People Count
"Emperor Ming knew so. Will you personally come to guard this Linzhou City? Why didn't she stay in Taiye City? Isn't it easier to defend the city there? ”
Su You's expression became solemn, he took out the scroll from his sleeve again, pointed to the Qianshou Pavilion and whispered: "Auntie, when I was in the Japanese military meeting, I only said that there were eight exits in the Qianshou Pavilion, right?" ”
"That's right."
"Actually, there is a ninth. And this ninth exit is where the confidence of the Ming Emperor is located. ”
Hunying was stunned.
Su You continued: "The true face of the Qianshou Pavilion is not a defensive tower, but a powder magazine. Below the Pavilion, there are five or six secret passages leading to various parts of the city, one of which is used for escape, and can lead directly to the south gate of the city. All the rest of the tunnels were filled with gunpowder. As long as the Ming Emperor escapes from Linzhou City through the secret passage of escape and ignites the mechanism on the roof of the attic, the underground passages will ignite and explode one after another, and then detonate all parts of the city, and finally the entire Linzhou City can be blown into a huge pit, and at that time, all the people in the city will be buried in it! ”
Hunying couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.
“…… All of them...... All of them! ”
"Yes, Emperor Ming knew that she would be invincible, but she still came to Linzhou, just to lure all the living forces of my Imuran to Linzhou City, and then catch them all! However, Imurin have 120,000 people on this expedition, and if I want to destroy them all without leaving any land, then the bait she has set needs to be tempting enough and big enough. ”
"This woman's mind ......"
Bihai Zhu's family is really vicious.
"Therefore, she used her 60,000 troops with Golden Feather Baisha to personally act as this bait, this is the ultimate goal of her personal expedition!" Su You snorted coldly and said: "Of course, she can also use the same strategy in Taiye City, but she doesn't care if she blows up Linzhou City, she will still be reluctant to blow up Taiye City." ”
"So you ordered Qi Lie to wait outside the southern city, so that you can take advantage of the situation to pursue Emperor Ming?"
Su You shook his head with a smile and said, "I can't catch up, that secret passage leads very far, leading straight to the forest outside the Senkanuma in the south of the city." I repeatedly told Qi Lie to take all his men out of Nancheng, just so that he and his people would not be buried alive in the city. In the same way, I asked my aunt not to enter the city and only to guard the north of the city, so as not to damage the people. As for Emperor Ming, he must have planned to prepare an army to escort her back to Taiye City. In this way, all the people I want to protect will survive, and the people I want to kill will all die......"
Su You said in the end, his expression was a little complicated.
There are too many grievances and hatreds in this world.
He hated Wen Lan, hated the Blade Clan, and hated that it was these two people who designed to kill his father's throne and life! Hate them for crushing their life experience beyond recognition! They deserve to go to the underworld!
But in this war, how to avoid the Eagle Clan and the Blood Clan from being affected is the most troublesome problem. Qi Lie's greatest concern is his people, this is where his life lies, and protecting his people is also an agreement with him to high-five him that day.
Now it is easy for him to use a stratagem to separate the two eagle blood clans, as long as Qi Lie is willing to do what he does, he can escape out of the city unharmed.
Even if Wen Lan narrowly escaped his life, as long as the Blade Clan's army was destroyed, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback! At that time, it would not be difficult to use the power of Hunying and Qi Lie to bring down Wen Lan.
As for the Ming Emperor......
Su You sighed secretly.
A woman sitting on a throne made of human bones, in order to protect the country, exhausted all means, from the very beginning made up her mind to use the flesh and blood of the generals and soldiers under her command to entangle the enemy's footsteps, and even did not hesitate to use herself as a pawn into the game.
Even though she has her own justice, there is hardly anyone in the world who is more vicious than her.
But what can you do with her? Su You knew where the escape path led, and he only needed to send troops to wait there in advance, but he couldn't do that......
Emperor Ming is dead, and Xiao Yun will definitely hate himself for the rest of his life.
At least...... Emperor Ming can't die in his own hands.
Su You suddenly realized something, I don't know when, in addition to starting to calculate the enemy, he also began to calculate the thoughts of the people close to him.
He was at ease to get rid of Wen Lan and Luo Bu by the hand of Emperor Ming, but now he actually moved the idea of using the hand of others to get rid of Emperor Ming......
He wouldn't have been unaware of how tricky the consequences of letting the king of any country flee back to the capital be, but with such a strategy of killing people with a knife, wouldn't it be no different from Mu Yunduo at the beginning?
Uncle You...... Am I really changing?
Is everything I am doing now with a clear conscience?
* * * * * *
At the highest point of the pavilion is a platform where you can look out over the whole city, and the eaves of the platform extend diagonally like swallow wings, which is exactly the same as the eaves of the pavilion in Taiye City.
The person who ascends to this highest place is condescending and looking at the circle. No matter the wind, frost, snow or rain, you can have a panoramic view of the scene under the city.
At this time, the platform was surrounded by royal guards, each of whom was a carefully selected warrior from the Golden Feather Battalion, and each of them was preoccupied with everything around them.
In the middle of the platform is a high throne, and the four sides of the city are facing the east, west, north and south.
There is a person sitting on the throne, wearing a light swallow piercing cloud zirconia gold chain armor, with a Jiuhua broken snake Chixiao sword on his waist, and the purple gold crown of the nine phoenix Chaoyang on his head has been replaced by a seven-pointed red gold crown, and the crown is full of engraved orchids, which is the crown of the queen of the blue sea that has been passed down from generation to generation.
The dragon is heroic, and the phoenix is thousands, it is Zhu Yutang, the emperor of the blue sea.
Her eyes were slightly closed, her expression was calm, and the army of Imuran was close at hand, but there was not the slightest panic on her face.
In front of the stairs stood three female generals, one of whom was carrying two spears and was like a hill, standing silently watching the city.
"Iron Flower." Emperor Ming opened his eyes and called.
"In!"
"Now that the north gate has been broken, where are the Imurans?
"Back to Your Majesty, it is reported that the detective has arrived in Midtown. There are still three miles away from the Pavilion. ”
"Then Hu Ying......"
"General Canghai has withdrawn from the north gate in advance and is defending in the middle city with 10,000 troops."
"Oh...... Hasn't Wu Qing come back yet? ”
Before he could finish speaking, a string of laughter came from the stairs of the platform.
"Come back, come back, the minister is late, let Your Majesty wait for a long time." smiling like spring flowers, sweeping away the solemn atmosphere on the platform, it was Wu Qing, the general of Heze, who was known as the "three-faced jade fox".
When she boarded the platform, she hurriedly turned down and bowed: "Your Majesty, Wu Qingfeng has taken a walk around the city, and the situation here is quite real. ”
Emperor Ming asked, "Oh? Then let's talk about what is going on in the city now. ”
"Sister Hu Ying brought 8,000 golden-feathered crossbowmen to block the fork of the avenue three miles north here, and there were 2,000 golden-feathered spearmen on each side to escort it. The one who came to attack was the Blood Smoke Five Cavalry led by the Blood Flame King Qi Lie, with a total strength of about 10,000 seven or eight thousand...... Oh, Your Majesty, give the minister a glass of water to drink, the minister is about to be roasted by the fire and smoking. ”
Emperor Ming knew that although she was the wife of a festival envoy, she was born in a green building in the market, and the details of her behavior and words did not care about her, so he only smiled and ordered someone to bring her a cup of tea.
Wu Qing drank a few sips, and his mouth became more agile as if he had recovered.
"As soon as the Golden Blade King Rob entered the city, he rushed to the west of the city with 40,000 golden armor troops as if he was crazy, and the ministers didn't know that the slowest blade soldiers could still march like this! Those who don't know think that gold is buried in the west of the city! Wu Qing's mean remarks have become a habit, which caused all the female generals to laugh secretly.
"Oh?" Emperor Ming was a little surprised, and said to himself: "Although the Blade Clan went to the west of the city to throw themselves into the net, I didn't expect it to be so smooth...... It's kind of weird. ”
"There is even more strange, but whenever there are any ambush mechanisms along the way, all of them have been cracked one by one, and the minister is secretly listening to the conversation of those soldiers in the dark, and it is clear that he knows in advance about the mechanisms we ambushed, and the minister guesses that someone must have taught Rob how to break the enemy. But since there is such a master behind the back, he doesn't know that we have buried ...... in the west of the city."
When Tiehua heard this, she was suddenly shocked.
Buried ...... What the?
However, Wu Qing didn't continue, because Emperor Ming suddenly cast a gaze, and his eyes were full of murderous aura, blocking the second half of her sentence vividly.
Wu Qing is such a well-behaved and clever person, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately continued with a smile: "Not to mention the west of the city, the minister also saw Wen Lan, the great witch god of Imulan. ”
"Oh? Wen Lan? Emperor Ming's spirits perked up and he muttered, "This person has finally appeared." ”
"But no, the minister saw that behind Qi Lie's blood smoke five horsemen was originally Wen Lan's 20,000 troops, but he scattered most of them all over the city to search for the suspicious soldiers laid by His Majesty. He only left three or four thousand people, guarding a watchtower alone. ”
"Guarding the watchtower?" Emperor Ming pondered for a while and asked, "Why did he stand still?" ”
"According to Chen's observation at the time, he was undecided, whether he should go to the south of the city to help Qi Lie, or go to the west of the city to join Luo Bu."
"It's not unreasonable for him to be so worried, there are two exits in the south and west of the city, the Blade Clan is weaker than the Blood Clan, but the Blood Clan has fewer people than the Blade Clan, which side to reinforce can only be an impromptu response." Emperor Ming didn't seem to care, but he secretly thought in his heart that he only hoped that he would be able to save a lot of worry if he went to the west of the city.
Emperor Ming stood up and slowly walked to the guardrail of the platform, and the generals and guards immediately knelt on the ground.
She looked at the city, the flames were everywhere, the smoke was filled, and Hu Ying in the distance was indeed holding Qi Lie with a bunch of crossbowmen. She vaguely saw Qi Lie's cavalry wandering around, some soldiers busily piling up something in the corner, others running towards a watchtower in the rear.
"It depends...... I estimated that Hu Ying could only last for more than half an hour. Emperor Ming nodded, "It's okay, you can attract as much as you want." The order went down, and when Hu Ying was about the same, he left the Jin Yu camp to defend it, and he withdrew to the Qianshou Pavilion first, and everything was according to the plan he had told her before. ”
