Just as Chao Yong was thinking about how to kill the remaining two handsomely, one of them suddenly raised his hand.

Chao Yong didn't think much about it when he saw it, provoked on horseback, kicked the two of them to the ground, and then floated to the ground.

The necks of the two were directly kicked off, and their heads drooped to death.

At this time, Master Dao, Lu Zhishen and others had just rushed to the front, preparing to protect the prince. They were also subconsciously acting, and they still felt that the prince was likely to die under the crossbow arrows.

But seeing the prince who was in a "dead situation", he suddenly became mighty, not only grabbed five crossbow arrows in one hand, but also killed five people in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chao Yong kicked away the palm of the person who raised his hand, and a puff of blue iron sand flowed to the ground, and he knew by looking at the color that it was a highly poisonous thing. Once he is allowed to let it out, he can only hide behind the Shine Night Jade Lion, and the Shine Night Jade Lion who bears the brunt of it will inevitably not be protected.

The seed master Dao breathed a sigh of relief, immediately knelt on the ground, and said: "The criminal minister deserves to die, let the Western Xia dead soldiers lurk here to assassinate the prince." ”

Chao Yong hurriedly helped up the planter and said, "Xianggong must have paid attention to the front line, so he neglected this side, what is the crime, hurry up." ”

"The Gods Come Down to Earth"

"The Gods Come Down to Earth"

The crowd reacted at this time, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted reverently. Even people who can speak Chinese, at this moment, instinctively use their own language.

Listening to the shouts of the people, the planter who was fluent in Qiang knew that his plan could remove many branches.

Although Chao Yong couldn't understand the Qiang language, he could guess the way the people kowtowed like pounding garlic, and waved his hand: "Get up." ”

"Thank God"

"Thank God"

A group of people watched the "gods" speak, and then they thanked and got up.

They were simple-minded, and when they saw that Chao Yong could actually catch the crossbow arrows shot from a close distance, they felt that the prince was really a god descending from heaven, and they didn't have any extra considerations, so they knelt on the ground in an uproar.

When the two armies faced each other, there were many people who could catch bows and arrows, but no one had ever heard of anyone who could catch crossbow arrows at such a close distance. In Fanren's opinion, this is definitely not something that mortals can do.

The seed master Dao's mood calmed down a little, and suddenly he saw the three assassins on the ground with black faces, and couldn't help but panic: "Their crossbow arrows are poisonous, the prince's hand holding the arrows is fine." ”

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous when they heard this, at such a close distance, even if they grabbed the strong crossbow, I was afraid that the huge impact force would hurt the palm of their hand.

Looking at the faces of the three people on the ground, they knew that it was highly poisonous, and if the prince was injured, it was inevitable that he would also be poisoned.

Chao Yong tore off the deerskin gloves on his hands, spread his hands, and said with a smile: "I heard that there were dead soldiers in Western Xia who specialized in assassination, so I prepared gloves, but I didn't expect them to really come to assassinate." ”

Seed Master Dao stared at Chao Yong's hand and looked at it carefully, making sure that there was no broken skin, and then he was completely relieved.

At this time, the soldiers of the Western Army patrolling on both sides of the road rushed over, and one by one they fell to their knees with earthy faces, and they couldn't say anything to beg for mercy. They are responsible for the security on both sides of the road to prevent anyone from attacking the prince from both sides, and the roads are also checked, but I didn't expect that something went wrong.

Seed Master Dao hesitated for a moment and said, "I sent them out of the city this morning to inspect to ensure the safety of the prince along the way, but I didn't expect that something went wrong." The prince asked Rong Laochen to take a look at the dirt pit, if it was dug today, I would definitely ask the soldiers who made the inspection. ”

The implication is that if you don't dig it today, you can't cut it. The planter is 100% sure, the pit was not dug today, and the soldiers he sent are all his own soldiers, and no one will be lazy.

To be harsh, the crown prince was assassinated, although there was no danger, but it was not too much to kill all those in charge of defense. But the planter was reluctant and had to take the risk of finding a way to live for them.

The Western Army had already lost more than half, and after this battle, there were not many veterans left in the Western Army. These personal soldiers around him are the officers who will reorganize the Western Army in the future, and if they are all beheaded, it will take more time to train a new army.

He also can't take care of his own risks, he is also responsible for this matter, and he pleads for the person in charge of defense, if someone says that these dead soldiers are sent by him, he can't get rid of suspicion. But for the sake of the Western Army, he also had to do so.

Chao Yong didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and have a look, I'm also curious." ”

The group walked to the place where the Assassin had jumped, but it was a half-man-deep pit of earth, six or seven feet long and more than three feet wide. The five of them could only squeeze and squat, but this height also allowed them to jump out.

The planter personally jumped down from the soil pit, cut obliquely into the pit wall with a knife, pulled out the knife, and cut straight into it with a knife, left and right, and dug out a triangular piece of soil.

Good eyesight, good knife skills.

A group of people looked at the cultivation master's way of digging the soil, and they also secretly admired it.

The planter pointed to the section below, and said with some surprise: "The soil has dried up here, and this pit has been dug for at least five days." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "The news of my coming to the northwest has long been known to the world through the Di newspaper, and the Xixia people must have planned to assassinate me a long time ago." ”

The planter jumped out of the pit and moved the plank that the assassin had lifted aside, but underneath was a layer of soil more than two inches thick, and dense weed rhizomes clawed the soil together.

The planter instructed the soldiers to cover the wooden planks and put the turf on them.

The turf was abruptly lifted by the Assassins, and some of it shattered, but it was still in general shape.

The weeds and soil are similar to the ones nearby, but there is a little more grass, and it's hard to see the difference. The soil layer is more than two inches thick, and I am afraid that people will not feel anything when they walk on it.

Chao Yong nodded and said: "It's very professional, and it deserves to be a dead soldier who has been inherited for decades." ”

The seed master said ashamedly: "Speaking of which, we have been fighting with them for decades, if it weren't for the veterans under the command of the old minister to send out, there would be some shortage of manpower, and the Western Xia assassins would definitely not have taken advantage of the loopholes." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said: "Xianggong can block the Western Xia soldiers and horses in the Deshun army and Zhenrong army is a great merit, and the rest are trivial matters, go, go back to the city." ”

When he heard that Chao Yong didn't mean to blame, he knew that these soldiers' lives had been saved, he was worried for a while, and when he saw that the prince was leaving, he hurriedly said: "These soldiers neglected their duties and put the prince in danger. How to deal with it, please ask the prince to instruct. ”

Chao Yong looked at the fierce soldiers who knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "The big war is about to start, you are allowed to make meritorious contributions to the crime, and you can be atoneted for killing a person from the party." If you defeat the Western Xia and have not made meritorious service, you will have fifty rods. ”

The soldiers kowtowed gratefully and said, "Prince Xie." ”

They did not expect the prince to absolve them of their sins, and if they made mistakes, they would be punished, especially in the barracks, otherwise military discipline would be corrupted. They have thought about beheading and a hundred rods, but they have not thought about the current result. This is the same as exempting them from their sins, the old soldiers who are slightly more honest are all elite soldiers who have experienced a hundred battles, and they will not be missing the enemy in any battle, and it is too simple for them to kill a party member.

The Seed Master Dao reprimanded: "The prince is so kind, why don't you hurry up and search for the comrades of the Western Xia Assassins?" ”

"Order"

A group of men from the Western Army got up and went like the wind.

The Western Xia Assassins could jump into the pit and cover the planks themselves, but the turf on it needed to be taken care of by their accomplices.

Seeing that the prince was preparing to take the lead in opening the way, he couldn't help but persuade: "The prince also has a lot of soldiers, and this guard is really not doing well, why not let them serve around him?" The old minister couldn't stand such a fright again. ”

Chao Yong saw that the seed master said this, so he had no choice but to wave his hand to let the pro-soldiers behind him set up a formation and surround him in the middle.

However, this battle did not come in handy after all, and there were no more people who died in Weizhou City all the way in.

In the city of Weizhou, the seed master behind him was also completely relieved. Although judging from the prince's unmortal skills just now, the Western Xia assassins could not assassinate the prince, but if the assassins appeared one after another, even if the prince did not ask him about his crimes, he would have no shame as an official in Daliang.

If you enter Weizhou City, you don't have to be afraid of the Western Xia assassins. He had already evacuated the people of Weizhou to Jingyuan Road, in case the Western Xia army approached the city and the people suffered. Now the city is full of Liang soldiers and horses, the Western Army has been sent to the Zhenrong Army and the Deshun Army, and the Western Xia assassins have entered the city, which is very conspicuous and cannot hide at all.

The banquet for the prince was set up in the Jingluo Mansion in the planter, and Chao Yong was also familiar with the road.

After the banquet, the leaders of the Fanren retreated, leaving only Chao Yong, Seed Master Dao, Lu Zhishen and other nine captains.

Chao Yong smiled: "Didn't Xianggong arrange some things for me to do?" ”

The seed master said with a smile: "The matter of the prince grabbing the crossbow arrow has convinced them, so it would be good to let them see the fire and thunder on the battlefield." As soon as the fire and thunder come out, the prince's heavenly god will be convinced. At that time, not only will they no longer have to worry about the chaos of the fans, but they can also gather 50,000 soldiers to come out. Although these soldiers do not know the military formation, they are fierce and good at fighting, and they are equipped with sophisticated weapons, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the elite Western Army. In the past, because the soldiers rebelled and attached to them, they didn't dare to equip them with sophisticated weapons, but now that they have the prince, they don't have to worry about their rebellion. ”

Chao Yong naturally knows the combat effectiveness of the Fanren, the more savage and aggressive the person, the stronger the combat effectiveness, Jin Guo is the best example, Wanyan Aguda has just come out of the deep mountains and old forests for a few years, and he swept the world, relying not on the military formation, but on the savages who are not afraid of death.

The Celestial Plan, this is the method that the Seed Master Dao came up with after pondering and meditating. The Western Army was gone, and there were not many soldiers and horses in the Great Liang, and it was difficult to carry out any tricks without soldiers and horses. The empty city plan is against the simple and not afraid of death, and the people either think that the enemy has surrendered, or they are stupid.

When the planter Dao was at a loss, he suddenly found that Da Liang was promoting that the prince was a god descending from the heavens, and he immediately had an idea. If the people of the Central Plains will kowtow to the prince of the gods, then they can work for the gods.

After the seed master Dao had an idea, and confirmed the invincible power of the prince from Lu Zhishen, he wanted to rely on the prince's divine power and black powder to make a story about the gods descending to earth.
