Chapter Seven: The Dragon Swims in Shallow Water, and the Soldiers Descend on the City
By the time Mo Wen returned to the city gate of Jiang Guo, it was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, which was converted into the second half of the twelve-hour system, Jiang Cheng had already had a curfew, and groups of soldiers were patrolling the city wall.
[Before the Great War...... The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. Mo Wen shook his head and walked under the city gate with snake scales in his arms. [Huh? How is this gate open? 】
Just when Mo asked was surprised, a person he didn't expect appeared in his sight.
"General Mo, you're finally back!" Long Yang also saw Mo Wen coming over for the first time, and immediately greeted him warmly: "I heard that you were attacked by a demon snake on the way back, and you weren't injured, right?" ”
"Thank you Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your concern, that demon is not very strong, and it has already been ambushed." Looking at Long Yang's concerned face, Mo Wen felt a warm current flowing through his heart. "The army has returned to Jiang City safely."
"Hmm." Long Yang nodded, and then pulled Mo Wen and walked towards the city. "The general must be tired from a day's battle, and Longyang has sent someone to prepare a place to live......"
"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't have to bother." Mo Wen politely refused: "I just need a secluded place...... The secret room I was in before was good. "[There is still a little bit of cultivation time left, since there are conditions, don't waste it. 】
"It's fine." Long Yang nodded: "Then please come with me." ”
……
[It is said that in the past two years, the political affairs and armaments have been handled by Prince Longyang...... It seems that he still has some ability, and he is worthy of being reincarnated as a god. Along the way, looking at the soldiers and well-organized bazaars walking by from time to time on the streets of the city, Mo Wen nodded secretly.
[By the way, I still hope for qi arts.] As soon as Mo Wen's spirit moved, his spiritual power secretly reached his eyes, and he used the method of looking at Qi on Long Yang.
Longyang: Two-star ordinary (??? ), the prince of Jiang Guo ....... Character: Shallow Water Dragon,......
You may be a poor postdoc who helps people copy books for a living, a financial expert who hisses and sells on the streets, or a peerless swordsman who kills chickens and dogs and sells pork...... There is no room for the corresponding display of extraordinary talents. (Maybe one day you will soar for nine days and become famous all over the world; Maybe you're doing nothing, burying your talent until you die of old age...... Who knows? )
[See something amazing...... Also, if Long Yang was born in Qi, Chu, Qin, Jin and any other country, he would have made a difference, even if he did not have the illustrious status of a prince. But now he is being dragged to the small place of Jiang Kingdom, trying his best to save his declining motherland...... The dragon swims in shallow water, and heroes are useless. 】
[Forget it, it's not my turn to take care of his life after that, I just need to help him win this war......] Mo Wen took a deep breath and looked at the sky above Jiang Cheng.
A golden dragon shadow emitting a faint golden light appeared in front of Mo Wen...... Maybe it's the reason why Mo Wen just led someone to win a battle, Jiang Guo's dragon qi is not half-dead as Mo Wen imagined, but full of vitality, and there is no sign of the death of the country at all.
[Hey, it seems that our situation is not as bad as Long Yang said...... I wonder what my companions will choose? Although the current travelers generally do not have the ability to turn the tide of battle, the more than forty travelers with all kinds of strange abilities can definitely influence the direction of this battlefield with fewer than 10,000 combatants. 】
[Although it is said that 'the husband is the victor without a fight, it is a lot; The temple is not victorious without a fight, and it is considered to be less. ’…… But Senior Sun Wu, what do you want me to count these guys? 】
"General Mo, your residence has arrived." Just when Mo Wen was distressed, Long Yang's magnetic voice interrupted Mo Wen's thinking. "Do you need me to call someone to help you prepare hot water?"
"Oh, thank you, Your Highness the Prince." Mo Wen had a strange expression. [Is this Corporal Lixian...... Why did he suddenly feel like a housekeeper. 】
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Prince, don't ask about one more thing." Mo Wen handed the golden scale snake skin in his hand to Long Yang, "This is what I got from killing the demon snake today, and I want to use it to make a scale armor...... I don't know if there are skilled craftsmen in this Jiang City? ”
"It's easy." Long Yang stretched out his hand and took the large piece of snakeskin, and looked at it carefully: "Just leave it to me...... I wonder what style of scale armor the general needs? ”
"It's like this." Mo Wen pointed to the bronze armor he was wearing: "Gloves, full-body armor, arm guards, helmets, and long combat boots." ”
"I see." Long Yang nodded. "Then don't disturb the general's rest, Long Yang will retire."
"The prince walks slowly." Mo Wen got up and walked to the door, and opened the curtain...... After more than ten years of mixing in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, he still understands some basic etiquette in ancient times.
After sending away Long Yang, the crown prince of Jiang Guo, Mo Wen didn't take a bath, but directly changed into a robe, and then meditated on the spot and began to cultivate.
……
In a corner of Jiang City, a small group of travelers gathered together were secretly plotting.
"Now that we're all in the same boat, what the hell is going on with this mission?" An obese middle-aged man complained, "What do you mean to be involved in this war?" Do you want us to fight these savages? ”
No one answered, the atmosphere was strangely heavy, and at this moment, a voice sounded in the corner.
"I know what this place is." Everyone turned their gaze and found that the person who spoke was a thin young man of about twenty-one or twelve years old, with two eyes rolling around, as if he had an idea.
“…… This little brother. The rich middle-aged man turned his head away, with a bit of the majesty of a superior. Can you tell us what this place is? ”
"Hmm." Facing the eyes of these dozen or so people, the thin young man swallowed his saliva: "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a game world called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", ......"
"Oh! I remember! A girl about fifteen or sixteen years old shouted happily: "It's the TV series that Hu Ge played, right?" Prince Longyang is the reincarnation of a god, and he can defeat ten thousand with one! ”
Hearing this, the faces of many travelers who did not know the truth suddenly became very exciting...... There was even a guy who kept thinking: "I knew that the weaker side would definitely have hole cards......"
"You're thinking too much." The thin young man glanced at the girl disdainfully, "If the prince of Jiang Guo has this strength, he still needs to beg Qi Guo?" Did you notice the troops entering the city today? I counted the phalanx, and there were absolutely not 5,000 people, and according to the local residents, it was this little army that won the vanguard of the Yang State...... There will definitely not be many armies in these two small countries, if Longyang killed 10,000 people with a sword according to the TV stage, Jiang Guo would have already dominated in this Spring and Autumn Period, and would still need us? ”
"You said this isn't the world of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy is a series of games." The thin man held his forehead with his hand: "There are too many exaggerated things in the TV series......"
"Alright...... Let's talk about what's going on here. A big man frowned in displeasure, interrupting the thin young man's exclamation.
"Yes, yes." Looking at the majestic figure that was a circle bigger than himself, the thin young man shrank in fear: "The mission background Wan Ling has already told us...... Then in order to save the country, the prince Longyang recruited Fangshi to prepare to forge the legendary magic sword, but the magic sword was not cast into Yang Guo and broke through the city, the prince Longyang, Jiang Wang were both killed, and then the princess of Jiang Guo Long Kui jumped into the sword casting furnace to die the sword, and finally cast the magic sword...... That's it. ”
"So, we're dead?" A traveler shuddered.
"Not necessarily......" The rich middle-aged man touched his chin, "This traveler's house only allows us to participate in this war, we just need to participate in the defense of the city, and then hide it on the day the city is broken." ”
"Then why don't we find a way to defend this city?" A well-proportioned young male traveler spoke up: "It is easier to defend a city than to besiege it...... Even if there are travelers on the other side, advanced siege equipment is not something that can be made in a while. ”
"What do you know?" Before the rich middle-aged man could speak, the thin young man before retorted: "Do you know that Yang Guo has surrounded this Jiang City for more than half a year? The people of Jiang Country were even forced to have to eat their children! Do you think we can survive in such harsh conditions? ”
Hearing this bad news, all the travelers around him were disgraced...... Except for the young man who insisted on defending the city.
"Didn't you guys go into town and ask for news?" The young man sighed: "The background of the mission said that Jiang Guo was rich...... And their prince Longyang began to prepare for the corresponding defense of the city more than half a month ago, especially the grain, it is said that the prince of Longyang almost emptied the treasury, plus last year's bumper harvest in Chudi, the price of grain was not high, and the grain and grass purchased could hardly be loaded in the warehouse. ”
"I believe that with our help, Yang Guo will definitely not be able to get in." The young people called: "Isn't this task based on our performance ratings?" Do it with me! ”
"I still think it's better to listen to this uncle." A girl moved to the rich middle-aged man: "It's too dangerous to go to the battlefield......"
"Young man! Very careful, I am optimistic about you! The big man patted the young man on the shoulder and stood behind him.
"I ......"
"I ......"
Soon, the dozen or so travelers split into two groups and left.
However, there were only five travelers who followed the young people to participate in the defense of Jiang Guo's city, plus himself.
……
That night, Mo Wen and Yang Ze clashed on the battlefield.
"Is this where the eldest brother was defeated...... a general in heavy armor carefully observed the environment of the battlefield.
"The terrain is open, there is nowhere to ambush the soldiers, and this sand and gravel will not affect the charging of soldiers and chariots......" The man squatted down and gently grabbed a handful of sand: "Then don't ask whether it is thaumaturgy to attract the wind or whether it is the wind at that moment?" If it's the latter, the eldest brother will be really unjustly defeated. ”
[But even if Na Mo asks how powerful it is, I'm afraid it won't be able to reverse the long-weakened Jiang country......] The general turned around and looked at the continuous camp behind him. [On the frontal battlefield, will you be my Yang Jun's opponent? 】
……
Yang Guoguo, just as Yang Ze was preparing the Praetorian Guards and preparing to leave the city, a small group of people in strange costumes stopped him. And just when Yang Ze wanted to ask them what they meant, a handsome young man with a big bow on his back stepped out of the crowd.
"General, we are Yang Guoyouzi who has returned from studying art." The handsome young man with a big bow on his back and dressed in a hunting suit bowed to Yang Ze: "I recently heard that His Royal Highness has conquered Jiang Guo, and I will also want to make a contribution, and I hope the general will be gracious." ”
“…… He's a good soldier. Yang Ze nodded: "You're just it, but those companions behind you don't look like people who have learned art." ”
Yang Ze's gaze swept over the group of good and bad travelers behind the young archer. "I suspect these guys don't even have a sword...... This kind of person is a disgrace to the soldiers of Yang Guo when he goes to the battlefield! ”
"Why do generals judge people by their appearance?" The archer glanced at the unsuccessful companions and bowed slightly: "These companions of mine have their own abilities, and they will definitely be able to help the general." ”
“…… Well, your life is yours anyway. Yang Ze's eyes flashed, and his teeth shot a cold light in the firelight: "It doesn't matter if you have Jiang Guo's spies...... As long as you show your little tails, I will show you what horror is! ”
……
Two days later, when Yang Guo's army was approaching the city, Mo Wen had to give up the last remaining two days of cultivation time and stand on the city wall with Long Yang.
It is worth mentioning that this morning, Long Yang sent the large piece of armor made of snake skin to Mo Wen, and Mo Wen was not surprised to see the complaints of the Traveler's House from this scale armor...... I just don't know if it's the masterpiece of all souls or the undisciplined Void Lord.
The self-confidence of the golden-scaled demon snake. Golden Silk Scale Armor: Three-star sophisticated, connected by copper wire, with strong defensive full-body armor, invulnerable to knives and guns, impenetrable arrows, and made of demon snake skin, it can even resist a certain degree of spell attacks...... However, since it is leather armor, there is no good reduction in damage to blunt weapons. (The previous owner of this scale armor was superstitious about its defenses...... As a result, it died a miserable death at the hands of its enemies, and its proud scale armor was stripped off and made into armor. (Killing people, and skinning people to make clothes to wear...... Boy, you're really nasty. )
[It's a good thing...... It's just too ostentatious. Mo Wen walked on the city wall expressionlessly, but the soldiers on duty unconsciously looked at his armor out of the corner of their eyes. The golden scales glittered in the sunlight like a giant light bulb.
[100% return rate...... Isn't it a mockery for me to go to the battlefield in such arrogant armor? Mo Wen grinned at the corner of his mouth, and a wry smile appeared on it. [I miscalculated, I'll change it to that bronze armor next time...... No, it's better to ask Long Yang to find someone to repaint this leather armor. 】
[But Yang Guo really dares to attack the city like this...... Although the city wall of Jiang Guo is not high, it is also six or seven meters, and your old man wants to take down this city without even bringing a ladder? Are you kidding? Mo Wen looked at the black army not far from the city, and smiled disdainfully. [Lao Tzu has a lot of experience in attacking the city, and he has a lot of experience in defending the city. 】
[However...... You can't win the war by holding on alone. Mo Wen looked at Long Yang beside him and said softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in my opinion, as long as the grain and grass in the city are exhausted, the Yang army will not be able to climb this city wall...... But if you hold it for a long time, you will lose, and the 100,000 people in the city will not be trapped in the city for a long time, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has planned? ”
"This is not a secret general, Longyang has a strategy to break the enemy!" Long Yang glanced at Mo Wen deeply: "I, Jiang Guo, have a weapon manufacturing method, its power is incomparable, it is called the magic sword, and now it has begun to be cast...... As long as the general holds the city until the magic sword is cast, I can let these invaders come and go! ”
