Chapter 183 The Battle of Banquan (Form 4)
The smoke of gunpowder in Yangzhai City has dissipated, and there is not even a single figure in sight on the bustling avenue into the city in the past.
The crumbling wooden fence and blackened clay walls barely formed a rudimentary enclosure that protected the conquerors who had just moved south.
In the distance, where the sun had set, several figures had appeared, all shirtless, with a charred black branch hanging from their chests---- which was the standard attire of the Vulcan Cult.
Several people were carrying large or small animal skin backpacks, and they slowly walked to the vicinity of Yangzhai City, and a sharp-eyed person standing in the center of the crowd glanced at the yellow linen strip floating behind the earthen wall, which seemed to be the flag of the current occupier.
Sou!
An arrow burst through the air and slammed into the ground in front of everyone.
Everyone stopped, and a head poked out from behind the wall, and asked sharply:
"Don't move!! Who??? This place is the territory of Zhigao Yellow Emperor Changyi! Trespass and shoot! ”
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then a bald young man slowly took a step forward and replied in a loud voice:
"The contemptible Luokui City Fire God Society attendant, give the name of the log, we are here to give gifts to the new master of Yangzhai City! Please tell your master that all the members of the Vulcan Sect are willing to bow down and obey the orders of the Yellow Emperor! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion in the city wall, and after a while, a passage came:
"Wait! Don't move! Then there was the sound of running, as if the men in the walls had run to report.
Hou Yi, who was standing beside the log, uneasily touched the backpack behind his back, and his beloved longbow was placed inside, disguised as the dress of a Vulcan cult believer, which made him very uncomfortable, especially being naked, which made him very insecure.
"King Yan......" Hou Yi whispered beside Lin Yuan and said, "Let's be okay like this, right?" Do you want me to take out the longbow? I'm sure I'll get ahead of them and shoot them a couple of ......."
Lin Yuan waved his hand, signaling Hou Yi not to act rashly, and then he was slightly fascinated and quietly looked at the sky above Yang Zhai City.
Patience is a necessary quality for hunters, and right now, this piece of prey, Lin Yuan is already bound to win.
After a while, there was a commotion on the city wall again, Lin Yuan noticed that a fat man with dark skin appeared on the city wall, the other party seemed to take a look, and then showed greedy eyes, staring at the leather bag that Lin Yuan and his party were carrying behind their backs.
"What bullshit would? Haven't heard of it! Are you here to give gifts to the Yellow Emperor? ”
"Yes, yes, yes! And lo and behold! ”
Log immediately agreed, and he took out a small piece of dark yellow metal from his backpack and threw it at the wall.
It was a small piece of rough bronze that Lin Yuan had brought out from the mountains.
After a while, I heard the gate creak and open a crack, and the people inside waved vigorously.
"Come on! Come on in! The guards inside kept urging, as if they were afraid of being discovered by others.
Lin Yuan gave Hou Yi a sly smile, and everyone slowly approached the city.
Not long after they walked in, the fat black man who shouted just now came up with a few guards, and said with a hippie smile:
"Oops!! What is this gem? Is it jade? ”
The black fat man rubbed a small piece of rough bronze in his hand with a flushed face, and asked excitedly, his greedy eyes staring at the leather bag behind the log, which seemed to be full of treasure.
"Venerable Master, this is a sacred relic given to us by the God of Fire...... Originally, I wanted to dedicate it to the Yellow Emperor, but since you like it, I will give it to you, and I will ask the Venerable Master to do us a small favor......"
The black fat man took the bronze into his arms with a smile on his face, and then seemed to remember something, and asked vigilantly:
"What do you want me to help with? I've made a mistake by secretly letting you in, and I'll tell you, I'm not in charge of the High Priest's affairs, if you want the High Priest to spread your Vulcan Cult......"
"No, no, no!" Log hurriedly shook his hand, and he took out a piece of charcoal that had been burned black from his bosom with a special marker on it.
"This is our token of the Vulcan Sect, a few days ago, there was a war everywhere, there was originally a gathering point of our church in Yangzhai City, and then when they retreated, many tokens were left, we have no intention of disturbing the faith of the nobles this time, we just want to retrieve those tokens, in the eyes of the rest of you, it is just some worthless burnt charcoal......"
The black fat man thought for a while and said:
"Oh, find some rags, that's nothing, the question is, how do you find them? Now the king of the city does not allow the people to move freely. ”
"All you need is the Venerable Master's help to take us to the previous meeting point, and you don't have to worry about the rest."
The log gave a charming smile, then took out a few white things from his arms again and handed them to the black fat man.
"Ahh Seashell!!? The fat black man looked at the few white shells in his hand in surprise, and his mouth couldn't close in surprise.
"You still have shellfish? Is this really a rich church? Haha......"
Log laughed awkwardly for a while, and then said:
"As long as you're willing to help, the Vulcan Cult will have other gifts for you......"
The black fat man groaned for a while, then shook his head, sighed, said a few words to his subordinates, and then turned around and led everyone towards the city.
"I said, don't talk nonsense, be quiet for me, I'm taking a big risk! When it arrives later, you'll have to give me a piece of this jade, do you hear!? ”
The log agreed again and again, and Hou Yi spat lightly at the back of the black fat man, and then was quickly stopped by Lin Yuan.
We can't afford to act rashly right now.
Lin Yuan knew better than anyone else.
The black fat man led a few Vulcan people from outside the city, and under the cover of night, they wandered around along the low adobe walls, as if deliberately avoiding the others.
The journey went smoothly, except for a pair of patrolling stone spearmen, who were able to pass smoothly under the rhetoric of the black fat man, and finally, after a short time, they came to a corner of the city.
It was a nondescript adobe house, with broken beams and charred earthen walls that constantly announced that it had been looted, and standing nearby, you could still smell puffs of green smoke drifting by.
"That's it, I said, I didn't do the looting, but the contents must be gone, if you want to find any charcoal sticks, go quickly, and follow me back when you find it!" Did you hear that? ”
The log snorted, Lin Yuan didn't say anything, just made a gesture, and several members of the Fire God Sect immediately scattered around, looking around in the wreckage.
After a while, Hou Yi coughed vigorously, Lin Yuan, Yuan and the others came over one after another, and Hou Yi pointed to his feet, which was a pile of pitch-black ashes.
This is the ashes of the burning fire, which was once supposed to be the site of the fire of the Vulcan.
Lin Yuan looked at the log, the latter immediately squatted down, vigorously pulled away the charcoal ashes, and then used the bone shovel he brought with him, digging it up vigorously, and after a while, a layer of floating soil was dug up, and the ground was a pottery plate the size of a wellhead, Hou Yi helped the log move the pottery plate away, revealing a bottomless black hole inside!
Lin Yuan handed the torch in his hand to the log, and the log waved the torch vigorously at the entrance of the cave a few times, and then there was a sound of rustling in the cave, and after a while, a figure crawled out of the hole.
Under the light of the torch, a slender figure appeared in front of everyone, it was Tongyu!
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded at Tong Yu and asked:
"Everyone is coming?"
"It's all here! The 300 Silver Lake infiltration team is all in the tunnel, ready to listen to your orders! Tongyu said again and again.
Behind her, in the hidden tunnel, the diminutive Silver Lakers were crawling out one by one, each with a bronze dagger in their mouth, reflecting the cold light in the moonlight.
"Your Vulcan Sect's tunnel is really open!" Hou Yi couldn't help laughing, watching the continuous emergence of secret infiltration troops, and said happily to the log.
When the log was about to answer, suddenly, a shout came from behind the crowd:
"What are you doing with mushrooms!? It's been a long time, have you found your broken token? I'm going to ...... Yes!! This...... Where did these people come from? ………… Yes! …………”
The black fat man was only halfway through his words, and he couldn't make a sound, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, a pair of hands clasped around his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood spurting out of his neck.
After a while, he collapsed on the ground, and when he died, his eyes were still staring at Lin Yuan's direction, with a look of horror.
Lin Yuan, who was beside him, was resolute at this time, his right hand was holding a sharp fruit knife, and the blade was still dripping with the blood of the black fat man......
"Assemble as soon as possible! Let's prepare...... Reconquest! ”
Lin Yuan gave the order clearly. (To be continued.) )
