Chapter 261: Breaking the Siege
Previously, Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng did not agree, and the masked man postponed handing over the fold to the top.
Rejoicing at this time.
Otherwise, the barracks was hit by two more bombs, what would they do?
Still hiding it and not reporting it?
In case the emperor knows the Tao in the future, their official position will be difficult to protect!
Moreover, although their private army is led by them, some other generals under them may not have the power and channels to write excerpts to the emperor.
Each army had more than 20,000 men, which was a large force.
The emperor will not really rest assured that it will be completely handed over to them.
It is inevitable to plant some eyeliner in the army.
Immediately hand the fold up?
Wouldn't it be difficult to write down the explosion you encountered before?
The sneak attack touched the front of the barracks, and the bombs were thrown directly into the two camp tents, so the scene was a mess and miserable.
On the ground were the stumps and battered tents.
The scene was horrible to see, and the masked man clenched his fists with anger in his eyes.
But in fact, he was more worried.
encountered two more bomb attacks, and the emperor's side ...... The masked man's heart hung high, and he prayed over and over again, hoping that the emperor would hold on and not issue an order to cancel the mission and let him go back.
Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng commanded the sergeants to count the battlefield.
In the end, it was concluded that because the sergeants were sleeping in the tent and were too concentrated, a total of 38 people were killed in the explosion, and these 38 died in their sleep.
More than a dozen others were injured.
The sergeant who had been on patrol for the night before noticed the anomaly and immediately rushed over, and the three who ran at the front were seriously injured by the bomb blast wave.
The rest were slightly injured, mostly by splashes.
After the counting, the masked man, Wu Chenggong, and Bi Desheng came to the Chinese army's big tent.
The atmosphere was extraordinarily calm and depressing.
In the end, Wu Chenggong coughed lightly and broke the dullness first, "Master Hou, to be honest, the power of this single bomb is indeed limited, but the question is who knows how many bombs are in the hands of the Dao bandits?" ”
"yes." Bi Desheng opened his mouth to echo, "One bomb can kill more than ten sergeants, then one hundred can kill more than a thousand sergeants, if there are a thousand in the hands of the bandits, ten thousand bombs ......" After saying the most, Bi Desheng couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp.
With so many bombs, the other party really used them to attack, and he himself was afraid that his life would be equally difficult to protect.
"Besides, the deterrent power of the bomb is too strong, the sound is roaring, like a muffled thunder, and many sergeants have secretly muttered, is it the mountain god protecting the horse bandits, thinking that we should not enter the mountains to suppress the bandits!" Wu Chenggong shook his head, looking helpless.
Many of the sergeants also feared the gods.
And once the matter is related to the gods, even if they say it, the sergeant will not believe it all.
No one wants to offend the gods and go to hell after death!
The masked man's face was so gloomy that he seemed to be able to drop rain.
Seeing that the masked man did not speak, Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng glanced at each other, and retreated with their fists in unison.
"Please also ask Lord Hou to be considerate, the matter here will be reported according to the truth in the end." When he walked to the door of the big tent, Bi Desheng's figure froze, and he left a sentence before striding out.
Compared with the panic and depression on the side of the imperial army's horses, the mysterious horse bandits here are diametrically opposed.
The black-clothed guard took five bombs from Jiang Long, used three, and two more.
Before, the big leader didn't know that the bomb was powerful, so he took the bomb in his hand and played with it over and over again, looking like he had seen a rare thing, and he dared to weigh it.
But now that he has seen the power of the bomb with his own eyes, the big boss just doesn't dare to do that.
Just sit in the first place and put the last two bombs in the open space in front of you.
The big chief, this is actually quite bold.
Because the second leader is now hiding far away, he doesn't dare to sit in his position, for fear that the bomb will suddenly explode in the next moment, and he will end up with broken bones.
It's terrible!
"Ha Luha, Jiang Long, this stinky boy has made another great contribution!" The Grand Leader was very happy.
The silver-armored man also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The three leaders echoed, "With the power of the bomb, I think that the imperial court army and horses will retreat soon, which is equivalent to Jiang Long relieving the siege for us, this credit is indeed great!" ”
A few more leaders nodded.
But the second leader snorted coldly, "Although the words are good, but Jiang Long's kid is too scheming, he doesn't believe in the black-clothed guard, and he didn't hand over the recipe for making the bomb!"
If we have a plan, do we need to be afraid of tens of thousands of imperial court soldiers and horses in front of us?
Even if you take advantage of the bomb to take down a few cities, and then take down the entire country step by step, it is also possible. ”
"Jiang Long doesn't have the authority to fully command the black-clothed guards, it's normal for him to keep one hand!" Hearing this, the seven leaders immediately retorted.
The big boss is a little dissatisfied!
The third leader stroked his beard and said, "What the seventh brother said is extremely true, and he is scheming, which is not a bad thing. ”
The second leader turned his head unconvinced.
and the seven princes shall be angry.
"Okay, okay, this credit must be credited to Jiang Long's head." Seeing that this was wrong, the five leaders immediately diverted the topic, "We should discuss it quickly, what should we do next!" He is still hiding, waiting for the court soldiers and horses to retreat soon.
Or seize the opportunity and sneak attack the enemy camp? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the leaders were full of discussions.
Some supported the design of attacking the enemy camp, on the grounds that it would hurt the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and the imperial court would not dare to easily go up the mountain to encircle and suppress them in the future.
Some said that it was good to let the imperial army retreat.
There was a lot of arguing, but to no avail.
The second leader was unwilling to accept Jiang Long's bomb meritorious performance, and took the lead, and he was bent on attacking the imperial army and making some military achievements.
But in the end, the big leader gave an order to wait for the imperial court to withdraw the army on the spot.
The second leader was naturally unconvinced.
"There is a bottom line in everything, if the imperial army and horses that are really killed are defeated, and these armies are the emperor's private army, and then the emperor openly attacks Jingfu and Jianglong, what should I do? The bomb only needs to deter the imperial court now, and we are not ......ready for it," the big leader slowly said the consideration in his heart.
When many of the leaders heard this, they nodded in agreement.
Only the second leader pouted disdainfully.
If you secretly say it in your heart, you will know that you are selfish!
Wu Chenggong, Bi Desheng, and the excerpts written by the masked man were sent to the capital by carrier pigeons.
In addition to the three of them, in fact, a few folds were also sent from the army and placed on the emperor's imperial case.
The old emperor sat on the dragon chair with an annoyed expression.
He arranged for the army to encircle and suppress the mysterious horse bandits in Pingluo Mountain this time, and he was very careful.
But I don't want to end up falling short.
Several excerpts, handed by different people, the content is somewhat biased, but the general process is already very clear.
The old emperor was a little disappointed in the masked man.
I thought that this was both humanistic and military, and it was a usable material.
At least for the time being, it can be used as an arm.
But I didn't want to, this encirclement and suppression of the mysterious horse bandits actually didn't make any credit.
Moreover, he let the silver-armored man pull out his teeth in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, and shot Sun Peng, which was a big shame for destroying the strategy.
There are a few excerpts that are written in detail, and the emperor also understands the reasons and processes of the destruction of the four major cottages.
It seems that the masked man should not bear too much responsibility, and it is not good for his subordinates to do things.
But as the main general, the masked man is guilty of not knowing people clearly and employing people without knowing people.
Three bombs resounded through the mountains and forests of Pingluo, making the emperor 100% sure that the two princes of the capital were assassinated and killed by Jingfu!
Among these two princes, King Huai is his biological son!
Although I don't like King Huai with an unusually domineering personality on weekdays, but blood is thicker than water, how can the emperor really not feel distressed?
Jumping around and causing trouble under his nose, the emperor naturally hates it.
But dead...... The emperor remembered King Huai's well-behaved and cute appearance when he was a child.
After King Huai was killed, the emperor couldn't sleep for three days in a row, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the appearance of King Huai would appear in front of him.
But now, sitting as the Son of Heaven, the emperor can only order the army to retreat.
And don't dare to behead the Jingfu and avenge King Huai!
The power of the bomb is amazing, and it is indeed a jealousy of the emperor.
Before he was sure that he could uproot Jingfu and its secret power, he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
Otherwise, he would provoke the revenge of Jingfu, and he didn't want any more sons to be assassinated in retaliation......
Although he was unwilling, the emperor still issued a secret decree and ordered the imperial army to retreat immediately.
It takes four or five days for carrier pigeons to come and go, and these days the masked man is alone with his soldiers and horses to search the mountains.
Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng had the intention to persuade them, but they also understood that the masked man was really unwilling, and he didn't talk too much to dislike people in the end.
After a few days, nothing was found, and no trace of the mysterious horse bandit could be found.
Again, there were no more bomb attacks.
The masked man lost a lot of weight.
He couldn't eat or sleep well, and when the secret decree came, he knelt down to receive it with red eyes.
In the will, the old emperor did not blame the masked man.
also left face for the masked man, saying that although he failed to exterminate the mysterious horse bandits this time, the four cottages of Pingluo Mountain were indirectly pacified.
This credit can be counted on the head of the masked man.
Seeing that the emperor had the intention of defending himself, the masked man breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but also a burst of shame.
The teacher was unfavorable, and he was designed to be played by his old opponents, which was a big shame, and he really returned to Beijing without shame.
It's just that the secret decree has been issued, and he can't help it.
Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng also received the secret order, and they both received it alone.
This is also a little trick played by the emperor.
Separate decrees, so that they have curiosity, doubt, and suspicion among themselves.
It is a means of His Majesty.
It is impossible to show the secret to others.
The imperial army pulled out the camp and began to slowly withdraw the army, and the masked man walked behind the most.
Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng were already ready before the victory, and a new task was sent in the secret decree.
When they parted, Wu Chenggong and Bi Desheng met the masked man again, and sighed and said goodbye.
The mysterious horse bandits did not take the opportunity to sneak attack, and quietly allowed the court to withdraw their troops, until two or three days passed to determine that the court did not play any conspiracy, and then moved back to the original cottage.
The cottage was destroyed by the imperial army and horses, and had to be rebuilt.
The danger here was lifted, and the information was transmitted to Jiang Long's ears by the black-clothed guard.
Jiang Long already knew that the mysterious horse bandit in Pingluo Mountain was one of the main forces of the black-clothed guard, so he was relieved to see the siege.
Time flies, in the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
