Chapter 117: Thousands of miles away, the attack of the Romans
As the saying goes, do a full set of plays, before leaving, Qi Lin didn't forget what he said he wanted to buy beans before, so he took out the money and bought all the bags of beans that Guan Yu brought, and Guan Yu couldn't say anything when he saw this.
It's just that on the way back, there were only two people on horseback, Qi Lin and Guan Yu, Su Shuang's war horse was given to Guan Yu, and Chu Yun's war horse was also freed up to haul those bags of beans.
Fortunately, Guan Yu didn't sell many beans this time, so he didn't have to worry about exhausting the war horse.
As for Chu Yun and Su Shuang, who were deprived of their war horses, Qi Lin was not worried at all that they would be dissatisfied.
The two of them, who were almost absolutely loyal to Qi Lin, had no opinion on this at all, anyway, the bodies of these two people were almost unlimited, and the 'salary' that Qi Lin paid them was sufficient, let alone walking two steps, even if Qi Lin let them face the charge of thousands of troops alone at this time, they would not complain.
Although I came on horseback, and when I went back, there were two more guys on foot, but since the road to the inn was not far, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive at the place.
"When we get to the place, I happen to be a little hungry in my lower belly, so the strong man quickly dismounts, let's go in and have a good meal." Jumping off the horse and throwing the reins to the servant next to him (actually the peasant uncle), Qi Lin greeted Guan Yu enthusiastically.
Guan Yu was very enthusiastic, and he had promised Qi Lin before, but now he had to jump off the horse with Qi Lin and walk towards the door.
At this time, there were almost no people in this inn, but Qi Lin didn't care much about the business in this store, so he didn't care about it at all.
And now the world of breakfast has long passed at this time, and people in Dahan have no habit of eating lunch, so it is normal that there is no one in the store at this time.
At this time, Su Shuang, who rushed back in advance, saw Qi Lin and others coming in, and hurriedly greeted him.
Qi Lin saw him and asked, "Are the drinks and dishes ready?" ”
"My lord, everything is ready, please come with me." Su Shuang replied respectfully. Then he led to the side, and walked towards the hall with Qi Lin and Guan Yu.
"Who is this man, who is called the lord?" Hearing Su Shuang's name for Qi Lin, Guan Yu had doubts in his heart.
But in fact, the most strange thing for Guan Yu was when he was in the market before.
At that time, after Guan Yu subdued Qi Lin, he wanted to use this to force the two guards back, and then robbed the opponent's war horse and fled from here.
But what he never expected was that with the persuasion of the other party, which was not a persuasion, he inexplicably let go of the hostage in his hand, and also obeyed the other party's advice. He followed Qi Lin all the way to this place.
However, although he felt strange, Guan Yu didn't care too much, and just thought that what the other party said was reasonable.
In fact, the reason why this is the case is because of the relationship between the 6 points of persuasion.
Speaking of this persuasion skill, as its name suggests, there is only one ability, which is to persuade others to agree with their opinions.
If you increase the number of points to 10 points at the full level, it is almost a brainwashing skill of BT.
Because after upgrading the persuasion skill to the top level, as long as the relationship with Qi Lin is not negative. Then for Qi Lin's proposal, the other party will instinctively think that it is right, and there will be no suspicion at all, which is almost no different from brainwashing.
Of course. Now Qi Lin's persuasion skill is only level 6, although it seems to be weaker than level 10, and it can't be strong enough to resemble brainwashing, but it's not too much. At least it can affect other people's thinking a little.
The relationship between Guan Yu and Qi Lin could not be negative, and the previous conflict was just a misunderstanding, not a real hostility.
The most important thing is that this incident was originally Guan Yu himself indiscriminately and took the lead in hurting people. felt guilty in his heart, and Qi Lin's previous words had always been a little awe-inspiring, so the chance of being hit had increased a lot.
So although Qi Lin's own persuasion methods were very clumsy, with the blessing of this persuasion skill, he still succeeded in persuading Guan Yu to let go of himself.
Later, when Qi Lin said that he wanted to invite guests to dinner, Guan Yu did not feel abnormal, and subconsciously recognized the other party's construction.
It wasn't until this time that Guan Yu felt a strange feeling when he heard Na Su Shuang call Qi Lin Lord Gong, but he didn't care too much about the previous feeling.
After a round of greetings, Qi Lin and Guan Yu came to a single cubicle, and after a round of wine and meat, the two also informed each other of their names.
Qi Lin informed Guan Yu of his 'life experience', and learned that in order to fulfill the last wishes of their ancestors, the Qi Lin family took the bones of their ancestors to return to their roots thousands of miles away, and Guan Yu was very moved by such loyalty and filial piety.
And Qi Lin also heard the familiar line.
"My surname is Guan Mingyu, the word Changsheng, later changed to Yunchang, and Hedong Xie Liangren also. Because of the power of the place, he was killed by me and fled to the rivers and lakes for five or six years. I heard that the army and thieves were recruited here, and I came to apply. ”
"Even if Brother Guan wants to join the army, why don't you just go under Qi's account?" Qi Lin took the opportunity to solicit.
At the same time, thousands of kilometers away, the first line of defense of the Bosphorus kingdom was facing a flood of Roman legions.
"Put!"
"Bang! Bang bang! ”
With the command of the legion commander, dozens of trebuchets and ballistae smashed stone projectiles and lit oil canisters into the distant wall that stretched almost to the end of the line of sight.
Huge stone projectiles smashed into the city walls to form even more deadly rubble, and they rushed into the bodies of soldiers who were unable to hide themselves in time.
On the contrary, the oil canisters that the Romans had high hopes for did not come in handy, although they also lit several city walls, causing thick smoke to billowing on the walls, but these smoke did not have the slightest effect on these Imperial Age system soldiers on the city walls.
Unless it is a flame that hits the crowd directly, it will cause damage to them.
However, the Romans, who were a hundred meters away, were clearly unable to see the situation on the walls.
"Let the ballistas and catapults stop attacking, let the battering rams strike and crash down the walls of these demons!" Looking at the crumbling walls of the enemy city with ballistas and trebuchets, the Roman legion commander in charge of directing the attack gave the order to attack. The enemy's delayed counterattack made the Roman legion commander impatient.
"Battering ram, strike!"
The herald faithfully relayed his order, and with a shout, several battering rams parked in front of the battle began to slowly approach the walls.
These battering rams were like four reels of houses, with sturdy planks on all sides and overhead, and the scattered arrows that fell from the towers were all blocked by these canopies, and could not hurt the Roman soldiers pushing the carts inside.
"It seems that these 'demons' have nothing to fear, they don't even have any means of defense, they will only fight back with those weak bows and arrows." Looking at the battering ram that was moving forward, the Roman legionnaire laughed.
Soldiers who had heard from scouting soldiers report that the wall surrounded the entire Bosphorus kingdom and that there was not a single gate, which made many Romans feel that the attack would not be so smooth.
But now, looking at the weak counterattack on the other side, the Roman legionnaire suddenly felt that the legendary demon did not seem to be as terrifying as he imagined.
"It seems that these 'demons' only dare to hide behind the city walls, except that they are built faster, and they are not even as good as the gladiators in the gladiatorial arena."
However, was that really all the defenses Qi Lin had built before leaving? (To be continued......)
