Forty-eighth: Design into the ice city
(I collected it and didn't recommend it to be a hooligan!!) )
"Hah...... Autumn! ”
Jing Ling wiped his itchy nose, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Who is thinking about me?
"Big brother, three kilometers more is Ice City!"
Lin Yan's words broke Jing Ling's thoughts, at this moment, more than 10,000 rebels were walking in a verdant mountain, and against the backdrop of seemingly boundless mountains, they looked like sand in the sea, completely submerged in the forest sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Jing Ling asked Haji and Lin Yan to lead the army to be stationed in the deep mountain forest, while he planned to infiltrate the ice city to find out the situation.
Although a group of followers volunteered to take risks with Jing Ling, Jing Ling refused on the grounds that there were too many people to do things.
In fact, Jing Ling was afraid that the others would be caught by the Nolan Army and would not be able to withstand the torture to extract confessions and let the uprising die, so he decided to sneak into the ice city alone to investigate the situation.
For this reason, he even warned Lin Yan and Haji that once they did not come back, they would have to hide in the mountains with a large army, and wait for the army of the Black Land to come over before going down the mountain to find a way to survive.
As for whether the current leader of the ice city is the Nolan army or the rebel army led by Falow, Jing Ling must find out this situation, if Falow has captured the ice city, Jing Ling will not hesitate to give up the siege plan.
As for whether the rebel troops would go up the mountain or take refuge in Pacch after the plan to seize the city failed, Jing Ling planned to see the situation clearly before deciding.
After figuring it out, he exchanged clothes with Lin Yan, and took a small five-centimeter-long blade from a soldier who had worked as a tailor. These small blades are usually used by tailors to cut threads, and although they are extremely sharp on only one side, they are often used as invisible weapons in the eyes of top killers.
Jing Ling hid the blade in his belt, and after taking the sword handed by Lin Yan, he rode towards the Ice City on his Hualong horse......
......
It was dusk, and the setting sun was setting on the wheat fields and residential houses outside the city, and the air with the smell of wheat was dyed with a pleasant warmth.
The thick clouds in the distant sky gradually turned orange-red, the ice peaks of the valley were pulled out of lengthy black shadows under the reflection of the setting sun, and the Li River also flashed sparkling waves at the same time as the sun set, like a heavenly fairy scattering crystal clear diamonds on the world.
The scene in front of him was very warm, but Jing Ling felt that something was very wrong, usually when night fell, smoke would rise from every house, but at the moment there was no movement, and he could not even see any serfs plowing in the wheat fields. Moreover, the wheat field had already been harvested, and it could be seen from the jagged stubble that the harvester was in a hurry, and even some of the plump ears were scattered on the ground without picking them up.
Jing Ling tied the sword to Hua Longma's body and told it to hide in a forest, this jujube red horse is also quite spiritual, Jing Ling walked for a long time and did not hear the sound of horses, Hua Long Ma stood in the forest like a loyal guard, waiting for his master's return.
In this way, Jing Ling walked alone through the wheat fields and residential houses......
"Why isn't there a single figure?"
At the same time that Jing Ling was wondering, several shadows suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was a rapid sound of horse stomping.
Jing Ling kicked his feet and hid behind a hay house, and through the jagged planks, he saw that the hay house was empty, only a few crumpled strips of hay scattered around, as if it had been ransacked.
A sudden burst of shouting not far away made Jing Ling's expression slightly awe, "We saw you!" Damn Yellow. Woe to you, come out quickly! ”
"What nonsense to talk to him, go up and arrest him directly!"
I saw five cavalrymen whipping towards Jing Ling, although they were wearing cloth clothes with the logo of the Nolan army, they did not have a piece of armor, so it can be judged that they belong to the inferior soldiers in the cavalry team.
The cavalry was divided into three classes, and the cavalry with skilled horsemanship and fierce swords and bows could be equipped with sophisticated chain mail. The cavalry, which was less skilled in riding and fighting, wore armor made of bamboo or metal, and those who had only been in service for a few months had no protective gear.
Obviously, it would be easy for Jing Ling to kill these five inferior cavalrymen, but he made the gesture of surrendering with his head in his hands, because he wanted to know where the people in this area had gone?
"I said there would be fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect to catch one when I came back from a circle." A cavalryman pointed the tip of his spear at Jing Ling and said.
The rest of the cavalry also surrounded Jing Ling layer by layer, and showed a sneering and joking look.
"It's not early, there's a big operation tonight, let's take him back quickly." A cavalryman turned over and dismounted and walked towards Jing Ling, only to see him pull out a stack of hemp rope from his waist and tie Jing Ling's hands together neatly, during which he did not slow down because Jing Ling's hands were injured.
The cavalry obviously wanted to make Jing Ling suffer, but they didn't notice the murderous intent that flashed in Jing Ling's eyes...... The other end of the hemp rope was tied to the saddle, and the cavalryman jumped on his horse, and with a whip he took Jing Ling towards the ice city.
Fortunately, Jing Ling had some foot strength, and he didn't fall down when he ran all the way, otherwise he would have to let this cavalryman strip his skin and flesh. When the cavalry in the rear saw Jing Ling's embarrassment, everyone laughed, as if watching the yellow man suffer was their daily entertainment.
In this way, Jing Ling was taken all the way into the ice city by the cavalry, during which the five cavalry nagged vigorously, and Jing Ling also roughly understood the current situation from their conversation.
After all the 80,000 troops in Heidi were assembled on the west bank of the Li River, the Nolan leaders issued an order to prepare for war, requiring the Nolan army in Ice City to collect all the grain within a radius of five kilometers into the city and prepare for a protracted war.
This is also the reason why Jing Ling saw a depression outside the city, in fact, the wheat, livestock, poultry, river fish and other grains near the ice city were collected into the city to the maximum extent, and even hundreds of thousands of slaves were imprisoned in the concentration camps in the west of the city.
Once the Blackland Army really fights, as long as the slaves are taken to the city, the soldiers of the Blackland will hesitate to set fire to the cannons.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the soldiers of the Black Ground can't bear to shell their compatriots, but the Nolan army is not so merciful, so even if a large number of slaves will consume a lot of food, the Nolan army will not carry out a policy of reducing the number of soldiers unless it is really compelled to do so.
Undoubtedly, fear has hung over the entire ice city.
The magnates in the center of the city feared that the Blackland Army would enter the city and punish them in the name of the Father for their sinful infidels. Merchants in the northern part of the city closed their stalls early, and the once prosperous business district was no longer noisy, and some were just a depressed scene full of garbage. To the east and south of the city were the settlements of ordinary people, who did not have the mountains of wealth of the powerful or the dazzling array of goods of the merchants. But this is not difficult for the clever small people in the market, if the Black Ground Army really entered the city, they would have prepared delicious food and wine to welcome the soldiers, and even hid the items of Lancelot's prayer ceremony at home.
The question of whether they will convert depends on whether the Blackland Army can enter the city......
