Self-ruthlessness is better than affection (13)
After Xia Yi left the front hall, he followed General Wen to the royal barracks where the soldiers trained on weekdays.
"His Royal Highness the Prince! Checkmate! After seeing the two men approaching in the distance, the soldiers quickly formed a neat phalanx and saluted the two.
"Hmm." General Wen nodded at the soldiers, signaling that they didn't have to salute again.
"Today, the old minister has allocated 10,000 troops to help His Highness pacify the 3,000 infantry in the northwest. The Northwest Army is very cunning, Your Highness must be careful. ”
"Got it." Xia Yi snatched the talisman from General Wen's hand with some impatience, and said to the soldiers in front of him: "Hurry up and prepare to go, and it is urgent to pacify the northwest." ”
In the face of this prince who is not particularly familiar, the soldiers are always a little worried, and inevitably whisper underneath, this child who grew up in wealth and wealth, one does not practice martial arts, and the other has never read military books, can it really be done to let such a person lead the army?
"You listen to this king, this battle, no matter what method you use, you have to give this king Rong Nanfeng to take!"
Xia Yi rode his horse and galloped on the battlefield, looking at the fiery sunset on the horizon, as if he was foreseeing a battle of great victory, as long as he solved the thorn in the side of the Central Plains - the northwest, then the position of the prince could only belong to himself.
Rong Nanfeng dragged his head and sat in the lookout, looking at the red sun that kept disappearing on the horizon in the sky, and finally there were only a few clouds like fire left.
"It's time, it's time to come."
"Lord Wang, don't worry." Standing beside Rong Nanfeng was a secret guard with a lookout goggle, observing the wind and grass around him, "There is an old saying in the Central Plains, how do you say it, oh, yes, it seems that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." ”
"Obviously the cold tofu is also delicious......" Rong Nanfeng at this time, after a day of wind blowing on the lookout, felt that his eyes were a little sour, and he even wanted to doze off a little, how could he be so inked.
"Lord Wang! Look! The dark guard handed the lookout goggles to Rong Nanfeng's eyes and motioned for him to look ahead, "Here it is." ”
On the boundary between heaven and earth, which was originally still calm, there was a sudden surge of fluctuations, and the moving black dots approached the three cities from small to large. The big word "Xia" on the flag was the first to break into everyone's sight.
The corners of Rong Nanfeng's good-looking mouth hooked up a smile: "It's finally here." ”
He handed the lookout goggles back to the secret guard beside him, stood up, stretched, and continued, "You guys should hurry up and arrest His Royal Highness the Prince, it's over early, this king has had enough of these days." ”
"But Lord Wang, it seems that His Royal Highness Xia Yi has brought a lot of soldiers." The dark guard looked at the Xia army that was getting closer and closer, and this number seemed to be far more than the thousands of troops expected at the beginning.
"What's the panic, thousands are people, tens of thousands are also people, no matter how many people come, not all of them use the same method." Rong Nanfeng took out a half-human-high bag from somewhere, and found a few masks from the bag, one was put on his face, and the rest was handed to the secret guard beside him, "Let them all come and put them on, it's time to start." ”
After Rong Nanfeng finished speaking, he poured out a few more wooden parts in his bag, moved them out of the lookout, squatted on the city wall, and began to build them. Within a few moments, a simple small trebuchet was completed under his hands.
He stood up again and felt the direction of the wind, adjusted the direction of the trebuchet's pole arm, and reached out to summon the dark guard who was already waiting:
"Go and put all the medicine you got from the flower doctor, and the archers will be in place."
"Yes!"
The so-called medicines, which are different from the past, are themselves packed in a sealed jar, and when Rong Nanfeng first got them, he didn't bother to take these medicinal powders out of them, so he kept them like this, but he didn't expect that now this unusual drug packaging actually came in handy by accident.
The dark guard took the medicine jar out of Rong Nanfeng's bag, placed it firmly on the trebuchet, and threw it.
