Chapter 663: Armor Helps, Invincible (I)
"Damn Wang Mang, I'll see how arrogant you are this time." Ji Shuang muttered secretly: "This time, I will destroy Huo Rongsheng first, and I will kill you in a few days." When the time comes, I'm going to grab you, hang you, and whip you hard. I'd rather see how you, a so-called saint, will behave under my scourges.
There was a lot of movement in the Tianshui Pass Tower, and Huo Rongsheng and the others, who were planning to rush to the gate below the tower, also saw some signs at the first time.
"It's not good, that's Ji Xuan, the Lord of the Earth Sword, Ji Shuang, the Lord of the Soft Sword, and Taifu Feng Yi." General Wu Jie exclaimed: "Lord Huo, since these three people are here, it means that they must have arrived with the Ji family's reinforcements." Let's retreat as quickly as possible, and wait for what to do before we make plans. ”
Huo Rongsheng also felt that it was inappropriate, and secretly thought that since the other party's reinforcements were coming, he still had to find out the strength of the other party's reinforcements first, and he couldn't act rashly.
"Pass on my military order and withdraw quickly." Huo Rongsheng shouted.
"Yes, sir." The generals gave the order and hurriedly asked people to ring the ringing gold.
Report....
At this moment, a herald rushed over, and he said to Huo Rongsheng: "General Huo, Lord Wang has an order to pass it down." ”
"Oh? Brother Wang has an order to pass it down? What order? Huo Rongsheng asked.
The herald said: "Lord Wang has ordered you to take Tianshui Pass within three days, and at the same time, Lord Wang also said that if this battle fails, I want you to raise your head to see it." ”
"What? He asked me to take Tianshui Pass in three days? How is this possible? Huo Rongsheng exclaimed.
The herald replied, "That's what Lord Wang's dictation says. As he spoke, he took out a secret letter and handed it to Huo Rongsheng, and then said: "This secret letter is given to you by Lord Wang, and it contains some suggestions from Lord Wang to break the enemy. Lord Wang got a secret report, saying that the Ji family had reinforcements to kill.
These reinforcements are all powerful and extraordinary, and Lord Wang expects that the general may be difficult to match, so he specially ordered Zhang Sheng, the general of Dingxiguan, to send 50,000 pairs of special armor to help the general break the enemy. Lord Wang said that as long as the general makes use of this armor and then assists the secret letter to break the enemy's strategy, it is expected to take the pass. ”
When Huo Rongsheng heard this, he took the secret letter and opened it, and immediately his face was overjoyed and he laughed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ji family's reinforcements have been clarified." Huo Rongsheng said to the generals: "Brother Wang speculates that the Ji family's reinforcements are about 100,000, and about half of them are from the Ji family. These backgrounds are all monstrous, and their martial arts are extraordinary. Can be one as ten. ”
"Can one be ten? If their combat power is so powerful, how can we match it? Chen Chong asked.
"That's why Brother Wang sent someone to send armor." Huo Rongsheng asked the herald, "Where is Zhang Sheng, the chief soldier of Dingxi Pass, now?" ”
"He should be about ten miles behind the general by now. When I came, he had already led the army and set off with his armor. The herald replied.
Huo Rongsheng nodded and said, "Okay, I know everything, you go back and tell Brother Wang, just say that I swear to take the pass within three days." ”
"Yes, General." The heralds came and went quickly, and disappeared in an instant.
Huo Rongsheng said to the generals: "Everyone, we will retreat quickly and join Zhang Sheng, the chief soldier of Dingxi Pass, first. After our army changed into those armors, we will try to attack the city and break the enemy and capture the head of the Ji family. ”
"Yes, sir." The generals gave orders, and the soldiers under their respective orders quickly retreated.
Feng Yi, who was on the city tower, saw Huo Rongsheng retreating and smiled coldly.
An elder of the Ji family asked, "Master Feng, now that Huo Rongsheng has withdrawn from the army, do we want to go out of the customs to pursue according to the previous plan?" ”
"Now that they've retreated, we don't have to pursue them first." Feng Yi sneered: "We have just led the army to arrive here, so it is not appropriate to leave the customs immediately, we must let the soldiers breathe and rest for a while." After dawn tomorrow, they will definitely come to challenge the level.
In this way, it can also save us a lot of physical strength to pursue. I've calculated correctly, although their combat strength is not very good, their escape skills are first-class. If we go out of the chase now, they will definitely run away at full speed. When they hide in Dingxi Pass, we won't be able to take them for a while. Only when they are defenseless can we destroy them all. ”
"It's okay, tomorrow is tomorrow." Many elders of the Ji family responded, turned around and went down the city tower, and began to prepare to kill the enemy.
However, it was said that not long after Huo Rongsheng returned to the camp with his army, Zhang Sheng, the chief soldier of Nading Xiguan, also came to the camp.
As soon as the two met, Huo Rongsheng asked, "General Zhang, where is the armor that Brother Wang asked you to send?" ”
"Just outside the tent, my subordinates are handing over to your subordinate Chen Chong." Zhang Sheng replied.
"Off-the-books? Okay, let's take a look. Huo Rongsheng took the lead and Zhang Sheng followed behind.
When the two of them came to the outside of the account, the soldiers under Chen Chong's command changed into new armor.
These armors are all blue-yellow, with a faint greasy smell emanating from them, and they are not made of iron, but made of green vines, which is extremely light.
After the soldiers changed into this armor, they felt a lot more relaxed, as if they were not wearing clothes.
Of course, although the generals changed into armor, they all had many doubts in their hearts, and they didn't know why the generals wanted to put on this kind of armor.
To them, the armor, though lightweight, seemed to have little defensive effect, and was similar to normal clothing. Not to mention the spear machete that resists the enemy, even if it is an ordinary arrow feather, I am afraid there is no possibility of blocking it.
Ordinary soldiers did not know the situation, and many other generals such as Chen Chong and Yan You did not know the specific role of the armor.
Those who know the specific use are those soldiers who secretly built armor and Huo Rongsheng who was informed by the secret letter.
After Huo Rongsheng saw these armors, there was also a hint of suspicion in his eyes. Some are skeptical of Wang Mang's statement, and don't think that he has super defensive power.
Of course, although he was a little suspicious in his heart, he didn't show it.
He himself took a pair of armor and put it on his body, then turned around once or twice, and said with appreciation: "This armor is really good, light and fluttering, and it saves me a lot of physical strength." ”
Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "Lord Huo, I have already sent the armor, and I will not mix the rest." There can't be no one to guard Dingxi Pass, so I'll go back first. ”
"Okay, General Zhang, you are going to be busy, and I will not send it far." Huo Rongsheng arched his hand.
"Lord Huo is free of charge." Zhang Sheng responded, and led the soldiers he brought to leave quickly.
Huo Rongsheng watched Zhang Sheng go away, and then said to Yan You: "General Yan, you come and cut me and try it." ”
When Yan You heard this, he shook his head again and again, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”
"If I tell you to cut it, you can cut it, not my mother-in-law's. Hacked to death, I forgive you for your innocence. Huo Rongsheng scolded.
