Chapter 407: Armor Guards Block Arrow Rain
In the face of Li Yi's deliberate anger, all the Jin king's guards were furious.
These people are all orphans adopted by the old Jin King since childhood.
They should have died of starvation on the streets, but under the training of the old King of Jin, they became his most loyal personal guards.
And because they have been indoctrinated with the idea of loyalty to the monarch for many years, these guards have some fanatic tendencies.
"Don't fall for that kid, the front is the garrison of the Yaowu Army, if you just break in like this, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
Mang Qing also saw the inappropriateness at a glance like the ghost doctor.
"Hmph, just because he insulted my king just now, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth today, he must die!"
Scar's personal guard's tone was cold, his eyes were sharp, and the mangqing he looked at directly was not enough, and his hair stood on end.
As the top master of the younger generation on the rivers and lakes, Mang Qing has also seen a lot of ruthless people.
In the same way, he also looked down on those desperate people on the rivers and lakes.
But he had never seen such a fierce gaze on these people.
In Mangqing's mind, maybe this is a look full of murderous intent.
"But if you clash with the Yaowu Army, it will inevitably bring unnecessary trouble to the prince."
Although Mang Qing also wanted to break Li Yi and the ghost doctor into pieces, he was also worried that he would be liquidated by the old Jin King after a conflict with the Yaowu Army.
"Now that he must have been as exhausted as we were from running away, and there was nowhere to hide here, it would be a waste not to kill them."
Scar's guards felt that Li Yi and the ghost doctor were no longer able to escape the siege and killing of their own people.
"But don't forget, behind him is the military camp of the Yaowu Army, once the Yaowu Army is lured out, it will be troublesome."
Mang Qing saw that Scar's guards wanted to continue to go his own way, so he had to remind him again.
"It doesn't matter, most of the people in the Yaowu Army are either busy fighting with the city guard camp, or they are busy dealing with the chaos in the city by themselves, and there won't be many Yaowu troops left in the station."
Scar's guard said disdainfully.
That kind of contempt for Yaowu Army is simply overflowing.
In fact, the private armies of the vassal kings have always looked down on the Yaowu army.
After all, the Yaowu Army, as the former Praetorian Eighth Army, has some immortal exploits that are admired by the world.
But the current Yaowu Army is still nominally the Eighth Guard Army of the imperial court, but in fact they have long been reduced to the point that they can't even go to the same border army.
Therefore, in the eyes of other armies, an army like Yaowu Army is not as hot as Yaowu Army at all.
"But even the number of people they left behind can't be less than ours!"
Mang Qing then continued to persuade.
Although the Jin king's guards were wearing armor and holding bows and crossbows, they were too few in number.
In the face of the Yaowu Army, who also wore armor and even cavalry, these fierce Jin Wang guards were still not enough.
This is still certain.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's kill these two people first, and then even if they provoke the Yaowu Army, they may not be embarrassed by us."
Scar's personal guard did not listen to Mang Qing's persuasion, he took the lead in holding a bow and crossbow, and shot towards Li Yi.
Seeing that Scar's guards were so stubborn, Mang Qing knew about it, but he couldn't persuade him.
The ghost doctor immediately felt dead when he saw Scar's guard raise the bow and crossbow in his hand again.
It is very difficult to dodge the dense rain of arrows in such an open field today.
"I'm dying!"
Immediately, the ghost doctor sighed and prepared to be killed.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt his body be jerked, and then he lost his balance.
Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, he suddenly felt his body lighten, and then he was already flying towards the station of the Yaowu Army.
"Childe!"
It wasn't until he landed heavily on the gate of Yaowujun that he realized that it was Li Yi who threw him over at a critical time just now.
Although Li Yi only threw him five or six meters away, it was enough for him to dodge the crossbow arrows of King Jin's guards.
But in this way, Li Yi himself stayed where he was.
When the ghost doctor turned around, he found that Li Yi was squatting on the ground at this time, and his body was curled up.
And they put their arms together in front of them.
"Don't talk nonsense, go and inform Yaowu Jun that the elite of the city guard camp is coming to the door!"
Just when the ghost doctor thought that Li Yi was about to be shot into a hornet's nest, Li Yi's voice came.
"Childe, are you alright?"
The ghost doctor immediately got up and asked.
"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly!"
At this time, Li Yi shook his aching arms and said.
Only then did the ghost doctor discover that the clothes on Li Yi's two forearms had been completely torn apart by crossbow arrows.
And in this tattered clothes, there is a faint metallic luster flashing.
"Metal armbands? I see! ”
The ghost doctor only understood at this time, no wonder Li Yi had to make such a strange move just now.
It turned out that the reason why he was okay just now was that he used his metal armor to block the crossbow arrows that were fired at him.
Equally surprised with the ghost doctor were the Jin King's guards and Mang Qing.
They originally thought that this time Li Yi and the ghost doctor would definitely die.
But what they didn't expect was that at the critical moment, Li Yi first threw out the ghost doctor who had been completely waiting for death.
Then, at the last moment, he quickly crouched down and dodged most of the crossbow arrows that were fired straight at him.
He then curled up quickly and crouched down, trying to reduce the area of his body towards the crossbow arrow.
He then brought his arms together again, and used the metal armguards hidden in his sleeves to block the arrows falling diagonally from above.
When Li Yi loudly ordered the ghost doctor to go to the Yaowu army for help, Scar's guards and Mang Qing also recovered from their shock.
They didn't expect that a rain of arrows from so many of them would fail to kill Li Yi.
Not even a single crossbow arrow succeeded in injuring Li Yi, such a result was simply unbelievable in their eyes.
However, Li Yi expected this.
After all, he had thought about using them to ward off the rain of arrows when he built this pair of metal armours.
And the reason why he had this idea was because they were attacked by the rebels with a rain of arrows when they were in the urn city of Shouzhou City.
At that time, the intensity of the arrow rain on the other side was much greater than that of the thirty or forty Jin king's guards in front of him.
Had it not been for a caravan among the people with them, who had taken the opportunity to hide under the camels and horses of those caravans, they might have been killed or wounded.
It was precisely because of that experience that Li Yi realized that there were too few means for them to protect themselves in the face of the rain of arrows.
Later, he took advantage of the Huainan Army and the rebels to make this pair of armor.
Originally, he wanted to find Li Ji to test the protective properties of this pair of armor guards.
But for various reasons he did not have a chance.
Unexpectedly, today he actually used this pair of arms guards in actual combat to block a wave of arrow rain.
It's just that at that time, in order to consider lightness, he made the arm guard very thin.
All of them were shot by the rain of arrows from King Jin's guards just now, and his armguards were directly shot by the powerful crossbow arrows.
The pain in his arm was unbearable.
"Looks like this arm guard still won't work, and it needs to be redesigned."
As soon as Li Yi finished shouting, he immediately got up and ran towards the gate of Yaowu Army.
At this time, since most of the Yaowu army was not stationed, there was no one on duty at the gate.
Therefore, the ghost doctor and Li Yi rushed into the Yaowu army's garrison one after another.
As soon as he entered the Yaowu Army's station, Li Yi opened his throat and shouted.
"Come on! The grandsons of the city guard camp are here! ”
The ghost doctor was still organizing the language.
But when he heard Li Yi's shouting, he also shouted.
For a while, the peace of the Yaowu Army's garrison was directly broken by these two people.
"Head, what are we going to do now?"
Seeing this, a Jin prince's guard frowned and asked hesitantly.
"What are you still doing? That boy insulted my king so much just now, do you still allow him to continue to live? ”
Scar's guards are now completely out of anger.
This is not only because of Li Yi's insult to the old Jin King just now, but also because a wave of arrows on his side just now failed to shoot Li Yi.
This was a shame for Scar's guards, so he was extremely ashamed in his heart.
The combination of the two emotions will make him completely lose his mind.
"I order you not to mess around, this is the station of the Yaowu Army!"
Mang Qing saw the state of Scar's personal guard, and he realized that if he was allowed to continue like this, King Jin's personal guard would inevitably cause chaos.
So he grabbed Scar's guard by the neck and roared angrily.
"As long as we're fast enough to solve the problem before the Yaowu Army reacts, it won't exist."
Scar's guard was also tough, he knocked Mang Qing's hand off, and then turned his head and rushed towards the Yaowu military camp.
And the Jin King's guards behind him also rushed in.
Seeing these Jin king's personal guards rushing into the Yaowu army garrison without any scruples, Mang Qing could only scold angrily.
"The puppet is not enough!"
"Young Mangqing, what should we do now?"
The few remaining people from the rivers and lakes stood outside Yaowujun's gate and asked a little confused.
"Are these people crazy, should we follow them crazy?"
Mang Qing was not carried away by anger.
He knew very well that if these Jin king's personal guards caused a big mess in the Yaowu army's garrison, then the old Jin king would not necessarily punish them much.
After all, these guards are his own people after all.
But if they, the people who were invited, were also involved, the old Jin King would inevitably go under the knife afterwards.
Mang Qing didn't forget that the old Jin King asked him to be the commander of the operation this time.
Therefore, he was absolutely not allowed to enter the Yaowu Army garrison.
Once he enters it, his life will be gone.
"Childe's group of Jin Wang's guards really came in!"
After shouting for a while, the ghost doctor found that King Jin's personal guards were also chasing him, so he immediately joined forces with Li Yi.
"Humph! Sure enough, I guessed it. ”
Li Yi also glanced back, and then said with a cold look in his eyes.
"Childe, what did you guess?"
When the ghost doctor saw Li Yi's expression, he knew that there must be something he didn't know.
"I wasn't sure before, but I can now be sure that there must be chess pieces buried by the old Jin King in this Yaowu army."
Li Yi looked at the surrounding situation and quickly hid in an uninhabited house with the ghost doctor.
"Childe, are you saying that there is a secret son of the old Jin King in this Yaowu army?"
The ghost doctor looked at Li Yi in surprise and asked.
"That's right, I chose to come to the station of the Yaowu Army and the City Guard Camp at the beginning, in addition to wanting the two armies to understand that the contradiction between them was the ghost of the old Jin King, and the other purpose was to verify whether there was a secret son of the old Jin King in these two armies."
After running all the way, Li Yi was also a little tired, so as soon as he entered the house, he casually found a bed and sat down.
Since this is the regular garrison of the Yaowu Army, the rows of houses are built of bricks.
Although the house is not big, the facilities inside are relatively complete.
On either side of the room are beds placed side by side.
The ghost doctor was also so tired that he was about to fall apart by this time, so when he saw the bed, he immediately lay down on it and gasped for breath.
"In that case, Childe, why didn't you say it earlier? If I had said we, we wouldn't have come in. ”
"Don't worry, we still have some time to rest, and after resting, we have to go to the garrison of the city guard camp again."
At this time, Li Yi began to slowly control his breathing, allowing his beating heart to slowly slow down.
"Do you want to go to the city guard camp again?"
The ghost doctor, who had already been lying down, immediately sat up again with difficulty.
"That's right, if my expectations are right, there must be a secret son of King Jin in the city guard camp, this kind of person can't stay, this is the only thing we can do for the people in the city when we leave Jinling City."
Li Yi closed his eyes and began to meditate.
"But didn't you already say that the fall of Jinling City was inevitable this time?"
Before, the ghost doctor was actually a little unacceptable from the bottom of his heart, Li Yi did not resist the grassland people's attack on Jinling City, and chose to flee.
But now what Li Yi has done is contrary to what he said wrong.
"That's right, the fall of Jinling City this time is inevitable, after all, this is the will of Emperor Shengheng, and I have been plotting with him for so long, my senior brother and I chose not to resist, but it doesn't mean that we can't make some trouble for the grassland army or Emperor Shengheng."
Li Yi said indifferently.
"What's the point of doing this if we all chose not to resist?"
deliberately still can't understand what Li Yi did.
"It's very simple, if I can create a little more losses for the army of the grassland, or add some costs to Emperor Shengheng's plan, I will be happy to see it."
Although Li Yi's eyes were closed, the ghost doctor knew that if Li Yi was open at this time, his eyes must be shining.
"And for every more death of the steppe army, the people in the city may live a few more!"
Li Yi then added.
Now the ghost doctor finally understood that Li Yi and Mu Junhe were not ruthless to the people in the city, but things were indeed irreversible as they said.
"Childe, wouldn't it be easy for us to find out about us when we are hiding here?"
Saying that, the ghost doctor suddenly thought of what Li Yi said just now, and there was a secret son of King Jin in the Yaowu army.
Now maybe the shadow son of the Yaowu Army has taken the guards of the King of Jin and the Yaowu Army who stayed behind to start searching the houses in the garrison one by one.
"There is this possibility, but I believe that there should be only the shadow son of the old Jin King in the Yaowu army left behind, so there must be some negotiation between them, and this buys me time to rest."
Li Yi analyzed it for the ghost doctor.
