[Chapter 13: Reconsideration, Hades Hall Master]
How strong is a martial arts person who can really be called a master? Can it be as powerful and omnipotent as those chivalrous heroes in modern film and television works?
The answer, of course, is no!
But is it true that there are no martial arts masters who are invincible?
The answer is also no!
The result of this double negation was that Shen Yun himself was confused. He couldn't have an accurate and clear idea of Leona, the master of the Hades Temple, and he couldn't devise an effective plan for this sudden obstacle.
asked Bai Xiaosheng and Tu Tianjiao, and neither of them could give an accurate answer. Bai Xiaosheng knew Tu Tianjiao's strength, but he didn't know the strength of the Hades Hall Master, so there was no way to compare. Tu Tianjiao knew about Leona from the information of the Yulin Secret Guard, but he didn't know anything about his strength, so he couldn't make a comparison.
However, under the persuasion of the two of them, Shen Yun temporarily put away his contempt for these martial arts masters, and planned this person as the biggest obstacle.
Under the explanations of Bai Xiaosheng and Tu Tianjiao, Shen Yun understood that the so-called 10,000 enemies may really exist, but there are still specific conditions. For example, in the midst of thousands of armies and above the battle array, people like Zhao Xin are ten thousand enemies. Because the strength he has shown alone can make the enemy feel irresistible, thus generating a fear of death and causing the enemy army to collapse! And if he fights alone on the ground, or if it is a tactic in a surprise assassination, Tu Tianjiao can be regarded as an enemy of ten thousand. Because Tu Tianjiao's speed was fast enough - of course, the speed of time was also very fast, but he lacked strength - Tu Tianjiao was not only fast, but also powerful and accurate, thus forming an absolute advantage.
"The Temple of Hades is an invisible organization of the Roman Empire, similar to the function of the Feather Forest Guard. The supreme commander is the Roman Emperor, which is divided into four halls, south, east and west, and the middle hall is directly under the Roman Emperor. The following groups of His Royal Highness. There is a flag under the regiment, and a small flag is set up under it. The most basic unit is the Death Scythe. Leona is the master of the east hall of the Hades Palace. In 999, he took over the East Hall and was the heir of the previous Lord of the East Temple. But because he has only been the hall master for four years, the secret guard still doesn't know much about him, only that he inherited the position of the hall master after the strict assessment of the Hades Palace and was recognized by the Roman emperor, and did not completely rely on the shadow of his ancestors. As for his strength, it should be between the Colonel and the Colonel of the Yulin Secret Guard, which should not be underestimated. ”
These are Tu Tianjiao's exact words.
Shen Yun closed his eyes and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "Since this is the case. It seems that it is not enough for us to bring in the army. Major You, I wonder if you have a way to send someone out of the inner city and bring my order to the Red Fox Department in the outer city? ”
You Chang smiled: "There is a way, I have lived in Tyumen City for fifteen years. There are also a few acquaintances in the army of the Yellow Banner in this inner city, and if it weren't for the secret guards, there were rules that did not allow foreigners to be recruited. I've even developed a few men in the Yellow Banner Army. ”
Tu Tianjiao's eyebrows frowned slightly. Dissatisfied: "What, does Major You think that the rules of the secret guard are inappropriate?" ”
You Chang's face fell: "Don't dare, subordinates don't dare." ”
Ever since You Chang broke through the embarrassing moment when Tu Tianjiao was dragging Shen Yun's arm, this Tu Tianjiao has given You Chang a look from time to time, this little woman's mentality, she really doesn't dare to provoke.
Shen Yun said: "Don't talk about those who don't. Major You, since you can send someone out of the city, then please bring me a handwritten letter to the head of the Red Fox Department in the outer city, and ask her to order someone to launch an attack on the inner city at the right moment. Do your best to storm a door. Your guards will also help you to see if you can storm the inner city in one fell swoop. If not, it doesn't matter, as long as the city defense is tight, I don't believe that the king's tent can still be safe. Let's lay an ambush around the king's tent and wait for every opportunity. This time to storm the king's tent, with the dark guard as the main force, Lao Bai, Shi Qian, Ouyang and you will follow my original plan, and when Wenqu Chang and them attack the city, they will set fire everywhere, and be sure to disrupt the situation in the inner city! Since we are not sure to rush into the king's tent and capture King Zuo Xian alive, let's try our best to startle the snakes and drive them out to fight! ”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said: "If they can break the city, then we will have thousands of troops in hand, not to mention that he is only one hall master of the East Palace, even if the four hall masters of the Hades Palace are all here, we will have peace of mind!" ”
Tu Tianjiao snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "After all, you still don't want our secret guards to help you take Tyumen City?!" ”
Shen Yun smiled and stopped making a sound.

When Shen Yun was planning how to seize Tyumen City, Wen Cui in the outer city was also at a loss for the city gate.
The city of Tyumen was apparently constructed in the style of a Han-style city, with an urn city at each gate. In many people's understanding, the gate of the urn city and the outermost gate of the city are connected to each other, but in fact this is not the case.
In the Han style of the city structure, in order to increase the difficulty of the attacker's attack, the city gate and the urn city gate are staggered, and after entering the city gate, you must walk hundreds of steps around the city wall of the urn city (sometimes one or two miles, depending on the size of the city) to see the real city entrance. Such an urn city design is standard in many Han-style cities. The attacker will have to stay in the city for a long time before they can actually attack the main gate of the city. This distance is relatively long, so it can also be used as a place for residents to live and trade to sell goods, which can be regarded as an outer city within an outer city. This is also the origin of the word "city" of "urn city".
At the same time, in order to defend, the construction of the city wall will be as convex as possible, and at the same time, landslides and corner towers will be built at each corner, so that the entire city defense will form a complete whole, which cannot be conquered.
From the architecture of the urn city, the Tyumen City absorbed the construction mode of the Han-style city, but in the polishing of the city wall, it did not grasp the essence at all, but went straight up and down. Let's put it this way, the Huns learned the fur of the Han-style city, but they did not learn the essence. This gave the Red Fox a great advantage when attacking Tyumen, and at least two companies of soldiers climbed up from the city wall and directly attacked the main gate behind the city wall along the passage on the city wall, thus successfully breaking through the Tyumen City.
But now, this situation has also been encountered by the Red Fox Department.
The Han army was easy to attack, and the Hun soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner would not have too much trouble if they wanted to attack, especially when the number of Hun soldiers was too large than that of the Han army.
"Captain, we have extinguished all the braziers at the head of the city, and the Huns under the city do not dare to attack the city wantonly. But it's not a long-term solution! Fang Cheng stood at the head of the city of Wengcheng, looking at the Huns who had already lit torches outside the city, and the army of the Huns with yellow flags like mountains and seas, said worriedly.
Wen Cui put on his helmet and armor, and his feminine delicate eyebrows furrowed, and asked, "How is the arrangement in other directions?" ”
Fang said, "It's all right. The judgment of the previous commander was good, once we extinguished the fire at the head of the city, the Huns did not know the situation of our army, and their Zuoxian King was surrounded by us in the inner city, so he threw a mouse taboo. Don't dare to attack wantonly. Zhongli and the others have also set up obstacles at the head of each section of the city, even if they attack the city overnight, they don't have to worry, there is enough time for us to mobilize forces to defeat them. It's just that tomorrow dawn, if the commander hasn't been able to catch King Zuo Xian, this fun will be great! ”
Speaking of which, in the end. Fang Cheng just smiled wryly.
After a careful observation of the city of Tyumen, all the officers of the Han army agreed that the city was the first fortified city in Siberia. But it doesn't live up to its name. It's an easy place to attack and hard to defend. If the Han army has tens of thousands of people, or give the Red Fox Department a few days to make a simple transformation of this city, maybe it will change the situation, but the problem is that the Red Fox Department only has such a few people, and the Huns are just afraid that King Zuo Xian is surrounded by the Han army, and it is dark. So don't dare to storm the city. Once the situation is determined, the army of the Yellow Banner that has been gathered will launch the most fierce offensive.
At this time, Zhou Hui, Situ Xiaoyue and Fang Xiaorou hurriedly ran from the city, and when they arrived in front of Wen Cui, they said loudly: "Captain, the commander has news!" ”
In front of outsiders. Zhou Hui called Shen Yunbu Shuai or Hou Ye.
Zhou Hui handed Wen Cui a letter, Wen Cui opened it, handed it to Fang Cheng after reading it, and turned back to Zhou Hui and said, "What about the person who sent the letter?" ”
"In the South Gate Tower, we have too many war horses, and the placement is a little chaotic, so the future people will be placed there." Zhou Hui explained.
Generally speaking, the castle tower is an important place for city defense, and people of unknown origin cannot be placed there. However, the war horses are now concentrated inside and outside the urn city, and the city is also an important place, so the next best thing to do is to arrange a meeting in the place where there are many people in the city tower.
Fang Cheng read the letter, the content of the letter was very simple, only a few words, nothing more than to let the Red Fox Department attack the city at night, and cooperate with Shen Yun's attack on the king's tent in the inner city. also briefly explained a few words: the identity of the messenger is Yulin Secret Guard, his own person, reliable.
Wen Cui looked at Fang Cheng, Fang Cheng nodded, and put the letter away: "It was written by the Ministry Marshal." ”
Wen Cui said hesitantly, "Are you sure?" There are a lot of words on it that I feel familiar with, but they don't seem to be clear, and they are upside down, and there are some inexplicable graphics......"
Fang Cheng smiled: "Don't worry, those words are called simplified characters, which were invented by the commander himself, and as for those graphics, they are caliph numbers, which can be regarded as a kind of password." Here, only I know the commander and I. Absolutely no one can be fake. ”
Zhou Hui puffed out her cheeks and said angrily, "Then why didn't he teach me?" ”
Wen Cui patted her puffed cheek and smiled: "Okay Hui'er, now is not the time to be angry." Let's go, see the fellow Dark Guard, and ask about the situation in the inner city. She said to Situ Xiaoyue again, "Go and inform Zhao Xin, Zhong Lisi and a few battalion commanders to come over and discuss how to attack the city." ”
"Whoa." Situ Xiaoyue took the order and left.
Wen Cui said to Fang Xiaoju: "You go to find logistics, let them order a batch of siege equipment, as soon as possible." If you want, you can tear down the inner city houses. Don't worry about those people, those who don't accept will be killed! ”
"Whoa." Fang Xiaorou turned around decisively.
A series of orders made Fang Cheng nod secretly in his heart. The treatment of Wencui is definitely of the steady type. It seems that she not only has the determination to make contributions and be the second in "Ye Tianwu", but also has the qualities that a general should have. For example, facing those Hun patrols this morning, even Shen Yun suspected that Wen Cui would be impulsive, but Wen Cui had obviously stabilized......
