Chapter 77: Burning the mouth of the gourd
After Chen Yi obtained the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain land, he had an income of nearly 300,000 taels of silver every month.
After having so much money, Chen Yi naturally recruited troops, and developed from a team of about 200 people to a force of thousands in one fell swoop, and became a decisive force in the southwestern border of the Great Dragon Kingdom.
In the following time, Chen Yi used the money earned from building the level and the inn to expand his strength.
In the third year, Chen Yi's team officially reached 50,000 horses, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and he became the actual controller of the southwest border of the Great Dragon Kingdom and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains in one fell swoop.
"Chief, we are so strong now, we should march to Luzhou, as long as our army eats the barrier of Luzhou in one fell swoop, we can directly enter the Great Dragon Kingdom, and then you can sit on the throne of the Great Dragon Kingdom, Leader. Li Chu said to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi trembled and said, "Throne, that's the throne, I can sit on the throne as an ordinary person?"
"Yes, Chief, we now have tens of thousands of elite divisions, as long as we set foot in Luzhou, we can directly enter the capital of the Great Dragon King, and when the time comes, your brothers who follow the leader can also ask for the identity of bandits and become human beings. Li Chu said to Chen Yi cautiously.
"But the military advisor, the Great Dragon Kingdom has an army of 100,000 and a large number of masters, can our army really beat others?" Chen Yi asked suspiciously.
"Don't worry, this nod leader, we have earned a lot of silver over the years, and we have purchased a lot of cultivation materials, we now have a lot of masters, and there is no problem in dealing with the Great Dragon Kingdom. Li Chu said.
"Isn't all the money we earn invested in the army, where is there so much money?" Chen Yi said with a questioning look.
"Haha, leader, don't forget that I'm a powerful exorcist, and it's trivial to get a little money, so let's settle it, and we'll start arranging men and horses now to prepare to attack Luzhou. Li Chu said.
After Li Chu left Chen Yi's barracks, Chen Yi shook his head helplessly, he knew that all his development was the credit of the military advisor, and now the military advisor was going to send him to the throne, which made Chen Yi very hesitant, the military advisor could send himself to the throne, and he could also tear himself off the throne.
But if Chen Yi wants to give up this opportunity, he will not agree, after all, this military advisor never exaggerates what he does, and what he says can be done must be done.
This is also why Chen Yi didn't ask the military advisor where he got the money to buy cultivation materials just now.
Tens of thousands of troops, dressed in swarthy armor, made a gurgling sound.
Attack.
Hundreds of trebuchets instantly launched hundreds of hundred-pound boulders and bombarded the heavy city of Luzhou.
None of the trebuchets were powerful in this era, and Luzhou City simply had no effective means of counterattack.
Even the masters sent were also solved by Li Chuyi one by one.
The walls have collapsed, and everyone rushes me.
Chen Yi drew his long sword and pointed it at Lu Cheng and roared.
After Luzhou was occupied by the rebels, the Great Dragon Kingdom immediately dispatched 50,000 Praetorian Guards from the royal capital to Luzhou to quell the rebellion.
Praetorian Guard, that is the kingdom will not be used until the last moment.
The Praetorian Guard is an important military force that guards the royal capital and suppresses all small things.
At the same time, the Great Dragon Kingdom also knew that after losing Luzhou, the rebels would directly enter the royal capital, which was a problem that could not be ignored.
And after the 50,000 Praetorian Guards were dispatched, the Great Dragon Kingdom quickly mobilized the domestic reserve army and went to the royal capital Qinwang.
Liu Changmin, as a descendant of the founding father of the Great Dragon Kingdom, actually has no low heart in his heart for this trip to Luzhou to quell the rebellion.
The Praetorian Guard can be described as strong in the eyes of outsiders, but in fact, he knows that all this is an illusion.
Because he is a general of the Praetorian Guard, he still doesn't know what is going on in his own army?
He knew all this, and he was a participant.
However, the king asked him to come and put down the rebellion, and he had to come again.
Therefore, he only hopes that the defender of Luzhou will be a wine bag and a rice bag, and he will lose the heavy city of Luzhou.
In this way, even if you can't put down the rebellion yourself, you can stabilize the situation in Luzhou.
It's just that Liu Changmin's plan has failed, not to mention his 50,000 Praetorian Guards, that is, 100,000 elite Praetorian Guards went to quell the rebellion and opened Chen Yi's army, and there is no return.
After Chen Yi's Dayi army occupied Luzhou, he immediately appointed local personnel to serve as officials on the spot, so as to quickly stabilize the situation in Luzhou, and then left 3,000 troops to defend Luzhou City, while the other armies went straight to the royal capital.
Luzhou is about 500 kilometers away from the royal capital, and for the march, it will only take ten days to rush from Luzhou to the capital of the Great Dragon King.
Report to General Liu that the rebels are already ten miles away.
"Okay, continue to inquire about the situation, and even report it if there is a situation. Liu Changmin said in high spirits.
Originally, according to the king's order, Liu Changmin should go straight to Luzhou to eliminate the rebels, but Liu Changmin was also a general of the Praetorian Guard, and he didn't dare to say how powerful the military division was, and he knew a little bit about it, so he thought about it, he didn't think that he could defeat the rebels with tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, so Liu Changmin thought of an ambush.
The old, weak, sick and disabled can't defeat the rebels head-on, so there should be no problem in fighting a tailwind war, right?
"Leader, the front is the gourd mouth, we only need to pass through the gourd mouth, we can enter Yizhou, and then we only need a few days to enter the royal capital. Li Chu said to Chen Yi.
"I don't think it's as easy as this gourd, it stands to reason that after we occupy Luzhou, the Great Dragon Kingdom should immediately send a large army to quell the rebellion, but we haven't seen any shadow of the army along the way, in my opinion, the army of the Great Dragon Kingdom must be hidden on both sides of this Hulukou mountain, and many boulders and rolling logs have been arranged. Chen Yi said reasonably.
"Someone, that's sending spies into the mountains to check the situation. Chen Yi ordered.
"Slow down, leader, don't rush to send spies, since they dare to ambush in the mountains, how can we disappoint them?" Li Chu said.
"Oh, I don't know what good plans the military advisor has?" Chen Yi asked curiously.
We can order the army to go behind the mouth of the gourd, and then shoot all the rockets we have prepared into the forest.
"All it takes is a simple fire attack to wipe out the army of the Great Dragon Kingdom in one fell swoop. Li Chu explained.
"Okay, that's how it goes. Chen Yi decided.
When the tens of thousands of troops reached the mouth of the gourd, everyone was already nervous, for fear that the higher authorities would order them to enter the valley.
Anyone knows it's a good place to ambush, not to mention that they're still soldiers.
And Liu Changmin, who was ambushing both sides of the mountain at Hulukou, was also excited at this time.
The rebels came, and as if they were defenseless.
It's time to make a difference.
"The order went down and began to release the boulders after the rebel army entered the mouth of the gourd. Liu Changmin didn't forget to command.
Soon the front was wrong, and he walked into the gourd mouth passage and exited, and then stopped.
Ignite the fire, release the arrows.
Whoosh.
Thousands of rockets flew into the forest.
You must know that this is the mouth of the gourd, and it is also a sucking place.
The army led by Chen Yi was the entrance to the air current, and when thousands of rockets were fired into the mountains on both sides, they were quickly driven by the air current.
In less than a minute, a raging fire ignited.
And the army ambushed on both sides of the mountain is also in a hurry at this time, if you don't run now, when will you run?
It's just that the fire has already risen, and with the factor of air current, the fire soon spread all over the Hulukou Mountain.
The people standing outside only heard countless screams from the mouth of the gourd.
