Chapter 65: Qingqi Sect
(Wishing everyone an auspicious and happy Year of the Monkey!All the best!)
After figuring out the information he wanted, Qin Xiaomu took the initiative to come to Su Teng's big tent and ask for countermeasures.
"Judging by his subordinates, everything described by Gu Ou is false and fictional. If it is true, His Majesty will not let you bring troops here. The reason why Your Majesty asked you to send troops is that you have received reliable information and made up your mind. What's more, just for the crime of having more than 50,000 troops in the fiefdom, the commander can convict Jin Raozhi and Li Xiang. Commander you, famous!"
Su Teng's words made Qin Xiaomu nod frequently.
As a result, Qin Xiaomu of the Iron Eagle Army gave an order, camped and camped, and besieged the city, and the city of King Rao suddenly became solemn and lively.
Although the other party dispatched 100,000 horses, because it was just recruited, in the face of the well-trained Iron Eagle Army's overwhelming attack, in less than half a day, the fiefdom soldiers and horses hurriedly abandoned the city and fled, scattering birds and beasts.
It only took half a day, and the 50,000 men of the Iron Eagle Army attacked the city with almost no loss of troops.
Sitting in the tent, Qin Xiaomu sent someone to invite Su Teng again.
"Lord of the army, although the other party has as many as 100,000 soldiers, why is the combat strength so weak?" Qin Xiaomu was deeply afraid of the other party's trap, and after several considerations, he still decided to let Su Teng solve his doubts.
Su Teng said humbly: "The 100,000 people guarding the city, the subordinates look at their combat strength, they should have just been recruited, and they rushed into battle without training. In other words, the other party did not intend to defend the city at all. The elite division of the Iron Eagle Army was not something that the rabble could resist, and the other party may have thought of this, so they gave up without much resistance and fled into the palace. ”
After listening to Su Teng's words, Qin Xiaomu was even more puzzled, "Didn't you say that Li Xiang was a rebel? How could such a force rebel? How could it be a rebel?"
Su Teng said pleasantly: "Your Majesty's intelligence network has always joined forces with the Phantom Pavilion, so there should be no deviation. I think that Li Xiang gave up the city because their troops were insufficient, and to hold such a large city, the east, west, south, and north of the five city gates, including Zhengyang, needed hundreds of thousands of troops. Any omission of Li Xiang is an opportunity for the experienced imperial army. Rather than deploying troops like this, it is safer to retreat to a corner. Therefore, his subordinates guessed that all of Li Xiang's elite soldiers should be stationed in the palace. ”
"The Imperial Palace, how to hold on to that small land, and how to supply the heavy grain and grass?"
Qin Xiaomu's mind was even more chaotic, as soon as he came, this battle was fought strangely, he raised troops to attack the city without asking questions, but captured the city without hindrance, this victory came too strangely. On the other hand, Qin Xiaomu felt a little aggrieved in his heart and wanted to vent. It's too tiring to talk to civil officials, and you always stumble and stop talking, forcing you to ask questions little by little.
Su Teng pointed to the map, full of passion, "Commander, please see, this is where the palace of King Rao's fief is located." To the north is an endless forest with complex terrain, and it is said that there is a secret realm leading to the Nine Hells, and there are several villages guarded by the royal family, which are said to have been set up for fiefdoms. To the east of the palace is a cliff, reaching straight into the sky, and birds and beasts cannot fly over, let alone people. To the west of the Imperial Palace is the Celestial Lake, which is said to run through Kyushu. To the south is the main entrance of the palace, which opens to the royal city. According to the speculation of his subordinates, the heavy grain and grass may have been hoarded for a long time, or it could also be transported from the Kyushu mainland through Tianhu. ”
"Well, go on!" Qin Xiaomu was aroused in reverie and had to urge.
"In the face of such a geographically dangerous place as the Imperial Palace, Li Xiangjin could attack, retreat and defend, occupying all the initiative. We, on the other hand, have only one way to attack from the palace gate to the south. ”
Qin Xiaomu had already discussed with the deputy general just now, and although he generally understood the current situation, he did not realize that the military situation was so serious. Tianhu runs through Kyushu, and there are countless large and small exits, which are completely impossible to set up cards to intercept. That's why Suto said that there was only one way to attack.
Qin Xiaomu saw that Su Teng's analysis was the first thing at this time, and he had already lost his opinion.
"What do you think of the army?" Qin Xiaomu asked humbly.
"The subordinates have just interrogated a few captives and learned that the palace gate has been installed with a powerful magic weapon. One husband should be closed, and ten thousand people should not be opened. ”
When Qin Xiaomu heard this, he panicked, and hurriedly asked, "The magic weapon gate?!"
Fiefdom is a supreme treatment for the children of the imperial family for life. After marriage, he was sent to the fiefdom, which was also derogatory, so that those children of the royal family had no chance to covet the throne. Therefore, fiefdoms are generally built in areas where the people are fierce and geographically sinister, and they also have the effect of deterring barbarians and gangsters.
At the same time, in order to protect the safety of the fiefdom, the empire not only allowed the fief to have 50,000 self-defense soldiers, but also spent huge manpower and material resources on the construction of the palace, making the palace a solid place that is free from air and artillery fire, so as to ensure the safety of the children of the imperial family.
There are two sides to everything, and there are advantages and disadvantages. Once the children of the royal family rebelled, the fief was also a difficult bone for the soldiers.
Su Teng said calmly: "Commander, my subordinates think that the only way to do this is to find someone to crack the magic weapon is the first key to attacking the city." ”
Qin Xiaomu patted his chest and said, "Although this is difficult, there are many capable people in the Xuanmu clan. If you really can't do it, you can ask the great elders of the clan, and even ask Your Majesty to come forward and ask the Sage to come out and unlock it. ”
Su Teng shook his head and said, "If we go back and forth between the empire and King Rao's fiefdom, time will be a little shorter. The subordinates have already found a person, who is the master of the fiefdom Liu Yunhao's auxiliary rite department, the Qingtian Grandmaster, but I need the Great Commander to personally visit you!"
Qin Xiaomu was surprised and delighted. This is a good time to join the army, there is no intention of grabbing merit at all, and everything is thought through.
But everyone in the Xuanqian Continent knew that the weapons they needed could only be purchased by the Casting Sect. And the sect established by Qingtian, the Qingqi Sect, is one of the best sects in the rivers and lakes, oh no, it should be the number one sect on the "Casting List" of the Phantom Pavilion.
Qingtian, the sect master of the Qingqi Sect, is also the master of the caster, and he has completed as a person who is crazy about casting. The people of the rivers and lakes, as well as the royal families and nobles of the major empires, were proud to get weapons marked with "Qingqi". What's more, the high-level weapons forged by Qingtian are almost never repeated, they are all lone pens.
The name of Qingtian was as familiar as thunder when Qin Xiaomu heard it, but after thinking about it deeply, Qin Xiaomu hesitated again, "You mean the Casting Grandmaster Qingtian? He has lived in seclusion for a hundred years and has not asked about the world, how can he be born because of my little leader." What's more, his most proud disciple Liu Yunhao held an important position in the fiefdom, maybe this magic weapon was set up by Liu Yunhao, how could Qingtian be willing to come forward to slap the disciple's face......"
Qin Xiaomu is coarse and detailed, and his analysis is not unreasonable. If the gate is really the masterpiece of his disciple Liu Yunhao, how can his master be willing to crack it? Isn't this a clear slap in the face of the disciple?
