Chapter 41: The Mouth Cannon

In the end, Li Mao still shook her head.

"Forget it, the win rate is too low."

"Even if it's a fluke, it's not worth it if the casualties are too great."

At this time, none of the three thousand Xuanjia Iron Horsemen were wearing heavy armor.

It would be a waste to use the well-trained Xuanjia Iron Cavalry as light cavalry.

If it weren't for the system reward, the cost of training a heavy cavalry would require taxes from hundreds of families.

The three thousand Xuanjia Iron Horsemen either need a country to build with all their might, or they need the accumulation of hundreds of years of accumulation by a top family.

Heavily armored cavalry is not an ordinary cavalry, and it counts when wearing iron armor.

Instead, it takes a strong person to be able to charge on the battlefield wearing hundreds of pounds of iron armor.

Even horses are not ordinary war horses that can be used directly.

At least the Imperial Horse level is required.

Li Mao looked ahead.

I saw that after receiving Li Longji from the other side, he began to retreat alternately.

It seems that the Tongguan guards have no intention of fighting.

"Feng Xian, follow me to meet the enemy generals, and see who can save people under my nose."

As soon as the words fell, Li Mao pulled the reins and walked forward.

Lu Bu followed.

Da-da-da-da.

The horse's hooves rattled softly.

In less than a moment, Li Mao was out of range of the enemy's bow and arrow.

"Who will your lord be?"

"I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why don't you come to visit?"

The vigilant soldier heard the tall and handsome man in front of him say that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so he immediately ran back to the Chinese army to report.

Li Mao took a good time, sat on the horse and waited quietly for the other side to reply.

Anyway, the distance is still far away, and I don't worry about a sneak attack with hidden arrows, let alone the enemy army surrounding and killing.

It's been a long wait.

The enemy still did not come out to answer, but began to retreat one after another.

Li Mao frowned slightly, turned his head to Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian, it seems that the enemy general is as timid as a mouse, and he doesn't dare to come to meet him. ”

Lu Bu said proudly: "The enemy may think that we are delaying time, waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive." ”

Li Mao shook her head.

Since the Tong guards will not take the initiative to come out to meet, then they can only use some means.

"The soldiers of Tongguan, I am the son of today."

"Your lord has rebelled, so he doesn't dare to come and pay a visit!"

"You are all well-known people, but don't be deceived by careerists and become a stepping stone for your lord."

Li Mao used all his strength to shout at the Tongguan defenders.

At a distance of less than two hundred paces, the sound was clearly transmitted.

All the soldiers who heard the shouting were at a loss.

I just feel that the handsome man in front of me is talking about something too outrageous.

Even ordinary people know that the emperor has been on the throne for decades, and he must be an old man, how can he be a handsome young man?

Li Mao saw that the defenders of Tongguan began to hesitate.

Immediately I knew that my method would work.

Then he shouted again.

"I know you don't believe it, but what I say is the truth."

"The emperor had fallen ill and died the night before yesterday, and several careerists wanted to usurp power and seize the throne, so a rebellion was set off."

"I put down the rebellion last night, and only a few of the thieves fled here, the ones you saved most."

"Now, there are two paths before you."

"First, follow your Lord to the dark."

"The second is to launch a mutiny, tie up those rebels, and hand them over to me."

"One path is life, the other path is death, it depends on how you choose!"

After Li Mao finished speaking, he stood quietly on his horse, waiting for public opinion to ferment.

The ordinary soldiers of the Tongguan garrison were suspicious after hearing this.

For them, everything today is just too abnormal.

As the main task of the Tongguan garrison, it is to guard the east gate of the pass.

But two hours ago, the main general Wang Zhengjian suddenly gathered the cavalry in the city, didn't say anything, and directly took the men and horses to Chang'an City.

The night before, they all heard more or less about the military disaster in Chang'an City.

It's just that there are people who say what the reason is, and they, ordinary soldiers, can't tell the difference at all.

Now when I hear someone explain, I immediately believe it.

Wang Zhengjian felt that the eyes of the soldiers around him began to take on suspicion, and he knew that he could no longer let Li Mao deceive people.

After asking Li Longji for instructions, he rode his horse to the front of the battle.

"Li Mao, you are so bold, you dare to call yourself the emperor?"

"Brothers, don't listen to his nonsense."

"He is the one who rebelled, and the three people who were just saved by the general are the emperor, the prime minister and the general."

Relative to strangers.

The defenders of Tongguan obviously believed more in what their commander said.

Their gaze began to reveal unkindness.

Li Mao was stared at by thousands of people, but he didn't panic at all, and calmly beckoned behind him.

"Hang up the dragon flag for me!"

The guards in the rear immediately moved.

In less than two minutes, a golden banner with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it fluttered.

At this time, Li Mao slowly spoke.

"Any idea what this is?"

"This is the banner of Datang, and it is also the proof of my identity."

"Your lord will say that I am a fake emperor, and I also want to say that your lord will have been plotting to rebel a long time ago."

"He said that the old man was the emperor, do you really believe it?"

"Do you think that as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he will be unkempt, not wearing a dragon robe, and not having a beard?"

"Can the emperor of the Tang Dynasty not be protected by the Northern Ya Forbidden Army?"

"I tell you that the dragon corpse of the former emperor is still in the Taiji Palace."

"If you don't believe me, you can follow me back to Chang'an City now to verify."

Where have ordinary soldiers seen what the emperor looks like?

But when they saw Li Longji's embarrassed appearance now, they didn't believe that this person was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty at all.

Could it be that the Lord General Wang Zhengjian really wants to rebel?

Doubts instantly appeared in the hearts of the Tongguan defenders.

Wang Zhengjian saw that the soldiers began to doubt him, and his heart panicked.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at Li Longji.

It's like saying, "Hurry up and come up with something that proves your identity."

When ordinary soldiers saw the two of them like this, their suspicions deepened and they became vigilant.

They are family members.

But he didn't want to rebel at all.

Li Longji was also bitter in his heart.

I fled for my life last night, how can I remember to bring anything to prove my identity.

Even the jade seal of the country was lost in a hurry.

The only dragon robe that can prove his identity has just been torn to shreds.

"Your Majesty, you can't let the thieves continue to disturb the morale of the army!"

The cow cyclamen couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly stood up to admonish.

"Of course I do!" Li Longji said angrily.

"Your Majesty, thirty-six plans are the best policy!"

At this time, Pei Kuan spoke out and persuaded.

When Li Longji heard this, he was like an initiation, and immediately patted himself on the head.

"Pei Aiqing really understands the mystery of the art of war."

"Wang Aiqing, don't talk too much to the thief, it's the right thing to go back to Tongguan quickly."
