Chapter 190: A Clever Plan of Own
After a few days of traveling across the south-flowing Liaoshui, the Tang Dart Team can already see the endless river plain in the distance, the faint fragrance of rice comes from the still cold late spring morning breeze, and the green rice fields in the distance gradually emerge from the dissipating twilight. The legendary rich and beautiful chestnut is right in front of you.
Peng Wuwang raised his whip and pointed to the northeast, and said with a smile, "I finally saw the Bohai Kingdom."
Fang Mengjing urged the horse to come to his side and said softly, "Our dart team is so fanfare, I believe that the tens of thousands of Turks stationed in Limo already knew that we were coming. From now on, be careful in all things."
Peng Wuwang nodded and said, "What Miss Fang said is that we will camp on the shore of Limo Water tonight, and everyone will work together to see if there is any good way to send the dart to the Bohai Emperor unscathed."
The game strung on the branches of the trees was scented with the enticing fragrance of the bonfire carefully arranged by Peng Wuwang, and everyone gathered around the bonfire to talk and laugh endlessly. Li Yu, the treasurer of the Flying Tiger Dart Bureau, who has been silent these days and always contemplating and meditating, came to sit down next to Peng Wuwang at this time, and said loudly: "Brother Peng, you helped me in Lotus Mountain last time, and today I will do my best to help you finish this dart as a reward, and from now on, you and I will not owe each other."
"Mr. Li, you're finally alive." Peng Wuwang delivered the wine handed over by Hou Zaichun to Li Yu's hand, and said with a smile, "Seeing that you were silent all the way, you suddenly became energetic at this time, and you knew that you had a good way to guess. Tell me about it."
Li Yu's face was embarrassed, and he said, "Ah, I really can't hide my thoughts when you see it. Okay, I've got a couple of things for you." He waved excitedly, and asked Hou Zaichun beside him to untie several ** bags from the backs of the three healthy horses, and stumbled in front of the two.
He smiled and said to Peng Wuwang, "You are too rough, thinking that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and then there will be a good way? Miss Fang and I have been planning all the details of this dart delivery since the day we received the dart. Hey, when you think about it, the daylilies are cold."
"Mr. Li, your sacks are so heavy, and you have suffered those good horses." Hou Zaichun rubbed his sore arm vigorously and complained with a wry smile.
"Of course it's heavy, it's all good, hehe." Li Yu came to the sacks, opened one of the sacks in the middle, and took out a strange and delicate puppet from it. The doll was life-size, with a smiling face carved into the skull of jujube wood. A pair of arms are spread forward, and the tips of the fingers are buckled backwards, like a tray. A pair of wooden wheels were mounted at the lower ends of his wooden legs, the middle of which was connected by a steel axle, which was a swarthy cylindrical iron box. On its chest there is a large butterfly-shaped knob with a raised bracket on the back.
"Guess what this is?" Mr. Li Yu asked with his hands crossed over his chest and in high spirits.
"Doll." Peng Wuwang said dumbfounded.
"Nonsense." Li Yu glared at him and said angrily, "I'll let you guess what this is for."
At this time, Lian Feng came to the puppet with great curiosity, looked up and down carefully, and said, "If I guessed correctly, this is a puppet that can walk on its own, just like the wooden ox and flowing horse of Zhuge Wuhou back then. As for what he's for, I can't guess."
Li Yu nodded, raised his finger at Lian Feng, and praised, "It's still the first son who is knowledgeable. As for what it is for, I still need Miss Fang to explain it." Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the wise fairy who was kneeling on the ground and adding firewood to the bonfire.
Fang Mengjing smiled quietly, nodded slightly at Li Yu, and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, the Turks not only want to prevent our bodyguards from entering the Bohai Capital, but also intend to intercept and kill all of us, showing off the majesty of the ** Turkic warriors to the people of the world. I thought that if we were to be intercepted outside the city, it would be beneficial to prevent us from entering the city, but the city was surrounded by wilderness, which was not conducive to siege and kill, and it was very easy for us to break out, which was not in line with their wishes. Therefore, I think that the Turks will wait until we enter the Bohai capital, or even after we enter the palace, before they start to send special masters to hunt us down."
Li Yuyi clapped his hands and said, "Yes, so the place where we will be most threatened is in the Little Taiji Hall in the Bohai Capital."
"I understand," Xiao Liechen, who had been paying attention to their conversation, suddenly said aloud in his heart, "This doll was put into the Taiji Hall to lure the enemy to attack...... The magic weapon."
"Yes, Xiao Gongzi is really smart, this makes you think of it." Li Yu said triumphantly.
Xiao Liechen received praise from the skilled craftsman Li Yu, and he was full of excitement and grinned.
Mr. Li Yu said mysteriously, "This treasure still has a function, and you will know it when the time comes. I'll show you this!" He opened the sacks and pulled out a few small wooden machines, and dozens of ceramic oil bottles, large and small. The wooden machines seemed to be small trebuchets ten times smaller, except that they were not pulled by cowhide ropes, but by a kind of steel bars that were curled up in a spiral.
"This is a catapult, Mr. Li Yu, do you want to use it to attack the city?" Peng Wuxing looked at it in his eyes and couldn't help but ask strangely.
"It's too small, where can it be used to siege a city?" Lei Yechang on the side was stunned and said loudly.
"Don't underestimate these gadgets," Li Yu cherished as he caressed the machines he had carefully built, "These catapults use powerful steel bars as a pull force, and can shoot several pounds of weight at a time a distance of a hundred feet." He leaned down, picked up an oil bottle that was spread on the ground, and said, "This oil bottle can hold several pounds of fire oil, and if this catapult is shot out again, you can go as you like."
Everyone suddenly realized and cheered in unison, and Hong Sixue said excitedly, "This is great, so that we can easily set fire to the enemy's camp and cause chaos."
Li Yu felt proud, stretched out his hands towards Fang Mengjing, and said, "The specific plan, I still ask the wise fairy to explain it in detail."
Fang Mengjing nodded with a smile and said, "The Turkic leader must have set up a strict patrol post in the Bohai Capital at this time to prevent us from entering the palace. The entire Turkic battalion will be ready for us. If you want to break through the impermeable barrier of tens of thousands of people, it is really difficult. However, as long as you think about it, at this moment, apart from preventing us from entering the Bohai Capital and handing over the Golden Emperor Armor we protect to the Bohai Emperor, what else is important to them, even more important than stopping us?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly felt that their thinking had become broader, Lian Feng slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "The leader of the Turks who led the troops to invade the Bohai Sea this time is the third prince of the Turks, Mantuo, who is deeply valued by the Jili Khan and is a pivotal figure. If we light a few fires in his tent, they will be in a mess."
"That's right, what Brother Lian said is very true," Fang Mengjing said with a smile, "So, the first step in our plan is to light several fires outside the main tent of Mantuo to cause chaos and make it appear that we want to assassinate him. The second step is to use this chaos to distract the soldiers and horses of the inner city defense and trick them out of the city. I already have a thorough plan for this. First of all, we first infiltrated the city of Limo, spent a day secretly observing the voices and smiles of the three Turkic princes, and then chose one of us who most resembled him to change his appearance. As for the art of disguise, there is no one in the world who is better than Mr. Li Yu."
That Li Yu didn't give in, nodded with a smile, and shook his head triumphantly, as if he was saying that he was the number one disguise master in the world.
Fang Mengjing continued, "We used the disguised fake mandal to take advantage of the chaos to divert the patrols and garrisons at the gate of the palace, rushed into the Little Taiji Palace, used Mr. Li Yu's puppet to lead away the ambush in the Taiji Palace, and then handed over the Golden Emperor Armor to the Bohai Emperor by our chief darthead."
Everyone nodded, and Zheng Juechen arched his hand towards Fang Mengjing and said, "Miss Fang is really clever, everything is under control, Zheng admires."
Fang Mengjing humbly returned the gift: "Zheng Gongzi has won the award. This is only a preliminary plan, and when we get to the Bohai Sea, we will have to consider the situation and formulate an emergency plan."
"At this moment, everything has been thought out by Sister Fang and Mr. Li, and even the plan has been formulated, so what else do we have to discuss?" Zhao Yixiang, a disciple of Dongting who had been staring at everyone and listening to everyone's talk, said stunned.
His words made everyone laugh. Luo Mingxian jumped up laughing, and said to Peng Wuwang, "Yes, Master, you just said that you wanted to discuss a big matter, what else do you want to discuss now?"
Peng Wuwang was carefully removing the roasted game from the fire, and when he heard Luo Mingxian make fun of what he had just said, he couldn't help but be furious, threw the game in his hand in front of Luo Mingxian, and said loudly: "What to discuss, of course, is how we celebrate after the discussion is completed."
Everyone fell into a whirlwind of laughter again, and the ** camp in front of everyone like a giant beast in the night was no longer so terrifying.
