Chapter 430: Helping the Needy and Saving the Dead
Although these eight-bull crossbows were completely unacceptable in the eyes of Jin Shi, an expert, they really brought great fear to all the vassal king's guards present and the innocent people around them.
After all, when you see four or five people in reality strung together like a sugar gourd, this shocking scene is a bit too bloody and terrifying.
Therefore, the surrounding people also began to flee in all directions amid the screams.
In fact, fear is just as contagious as the virus.
When the hysterical screams of the people reached the manor, the people of Sizhou City and the soldiers of the city guard camp who did not know what to do were also in a commotion.
"Don't panic! The battle outside will not affect us. ”
Yan Wuping, the county guard of Sizhou County, stood up and shouted at everyone at the first time.
But although he said that the battle would not affect them, he was still very worried in his heart.
However, the crowd did not believe his words very much.
"I didn't expect the old Jin King to really make a big deal!"
Keiko was looking around, and he said in a cold tone.
Because he knew very well that if the more than 1,000 people in Sizhou County had not stayed here honestly before, then these twelve eight-bull crossbows would probably shoot here mercilessly.
"If these eight-bull crossbows shoot at us, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy casualties!"
Tan Lixing stood on the rockery and looked at the guards of the vassal prince who were still twitching after being shot by the eight-bull crossbow, and his heart was cold.
"Yes! Those vassal kings' guards in armor couldn't resist these eight-bull crossbows, let alone us unarmed people! ”
At this time, Cha Xilin, the commander of the Sizhou County City Guard Battalion, also changed his strong attitude just now, and said with a pale face.
"Don't think of this thing as godly!"
Just when everyone was apprehensive about the Eight Bull Crossbow, Li Yi said slowly.
"You guy is not afraid of the wind when he talks big!"
Tan Kexun looked at Li Yi with an unhappy expression and said.
"Inquiry must not be unreasonable!"
Tan Lixing immediately scolded when he heard this.
He had already seen from the attitude of Jing Zizheng and others towards Li Yi before, and he was afraid that the real person in charge was this inconspicuous young man.
"Oh? Li boy, what do you think? ”
Qi Lao looked at Jingzizheng with a smile at this time and asked.
Last night, when Jing Zizheng and they took everyone to join everyone, Qi Chao and Qi Ning also successfully reunited with their families.
During this time, they told all about their heroic death in the northern border and their uncle's heroic death.
Their mother was so sad that she fainted.
But in addition, Qi Chao also told his family about their relationship with Li Yi.
This made Qi Ning feel ashamed and indignant.
However, Qi Lao was very satisfied with this, and even his performance was very happy.
So when he talked to Li Yi again today, he changed Li Gongzi to Li Xiaozi.
And when he looked at Li Yi, he felt like his father-in-law was looking at his grandson-in-law.
However, Li Yi was not aware of this at all.
"The guy in the general's armor just said correctly, the best way to encounter the shooting of the Eight Bull Crossbow is to lie on the ground and reduce the height of yourself, so that you can effectively dodge the shot of the Eight Bull Crossbow."
Li Yi pointed to the guard of the vassal king who was shouting loudly just now.
"But if we lie down, won't we lose the opportunity to move quickly, and then we will become a live target?"
Tan Keyu also didn't understand why Li Yi said that lying on the ground was the best way to dodge the Eight Bull Crossbow.
"Tan Gongzi is right, lying on the ground will indeed reduce our chances of dodging quickly, but in this way, even if the Eight Bull Crossbow really hits us, at most it will shoot one person, and the others will be much safer."
Li Yi explained to Tan Keyu.
"It's not like it can't stop the Eight Bull Crossbow from killing!"
Tan Kexun pouted and whispered.
"In addition, the Eight Ox Crossbow has another flaw, and that is that it shoots very slowly!"
Li Yi completely chose to ignore Tan Kexun's contempt.
"That's right, I just counted that every time I shoot an eight-ox crossbow, it takes almost eighty breaths before I can shoot the next arrow."
Chasilin said at this time.
"So, if I were the commander of the vassal king's guard, I would definitely take advantage of this attack to quickly disperse."
Li Yi continued.
"It's a pity that these vassal princes' guards don't know this, and they can only run around like headless flies now."
Hae-in looked at the scene outside and smiled disdainfully.
I think that when their steppe army faced the eight-ox crossbow on the border fortress, it was much stronger than the feudal prince's guards in front of them.
Therefore, those eight-ox crossbows in Dayu Biansai were not directly used to shoot cavalry.
Their real use is to shoot the siege engines of the steppe armies.
"So what do we do now? Shall we save the vassal king's guards? ”
Huang Budo watched those vassal kings' guards constantly being shot by the Eight Bull Crossbow, and he couldn't help but speak.
"What are we going to do to save them? This is a contest between the imperial court and Zongzheng Temple, and it is better for us, as outsiders, not to get involved in it! ”
An Su was happy at this time, and when he heard Huang Budo say this, he couldn't help but pull down his face and said.
"It's just that they belong to a dog-eat-dog, what good can we do by participating in it!"
After the Qi Dynasty knew about the sinister intentions of the Zongzheng Temple, he no longer had a good impression of these vassal princes' guards.
"It's best if they can kill both!"
Then Qi Chao added.
As soon as Qi Chao said this, the people around him nodded one after another, and they also agreed with Qi Chao's opinion.
In their opinion, whether it is the guards of the Jin king or the guards of these vassal kings, they are all the same, and there is no good thing.
It would be best if these eight-bull crossbows could shoot them all.
And in their minds, there should be a number of arrows from these eight-ox crossbows.
So now the Jin King's guards shoot one more arrow, which means that they will have one less when dealing with their own people in the future.
"No! We have to save them! ”
Just when everyone had basically agreed on their opinions, Li Yi stood up and said different opinions.
"Why?"
This time, even Qi Ning couldn't understand Li Yi's opinion.
"It's very simple, because there are still 20,000 steppe troops outside the city."
"Even if there is a steppe army, what can it do? As long as the people of the old Jin King can be uprooted, the city guard camp in Jinling City, and then the Yaowu army can also defend against the attack of the grassland army. ”
In Qi Ning's opinion, the next real confrontation with the grassland army can only be the Yaowu Army and the City Guard Battalion.
After all, although these vassal princes' guards were all well-equipped, it was unlikely that they would directly appear on the front line against the steppe army.
Because their mission is only to protect the safety of the feudal kings.
Even Qi Ning believed that once the situation really developed to the point where it was impossible to do anything, these vassal kings' personal guards would definitely escape from Jinling City with their vassal kings at a critical time
Therefore, Qi Ning thought that these vassal princes' guards were dispensable in the next defensive battle of Jinling City.
"No, if these vassal kings' guards sacrifice too much before the steppe army attacks, those old vassal kings who are greedy for life and afraid of death will inevitably choose to flee immediately."
Li Yi shook his head and said.
"Wouldn't that be better! These guys have fled, and the city will not be in such chaos. ”
At this time, Yu Chao, the deputy commander of the Sizhou County City Guard Battalion, opened his mouth.
"If they really escape, then Jinling City will fall quickly, and I'm afraid we won't even have a chance to escape."
Li Yi didn't expect that Yu Chao, as the deputy commander of the city guard battalion, couldn't even see this truth.
"But Xiao Lizi, even if we want to help those vassal princes, we are powerless! Once we get out, the eight-bull crossbows will inevitably turn around and shoot at us. ”
As a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, Qi Lao knows the truth of cold lips and teeth.
He, so he also agreed with Li Yi's decision to go to save these vassal kings and guards from the bottom of his heart.
It's just that he really can't think of any good way to save these vassal princes' guards now.
"Actually, if you want to save these feudal princes, you don't need many people at all, and two or three people are enough."
Li Yi smiled and looked like he was in his chest.
"What are you talking about, there are a total of twelve eight-bull crossbows on the other side, you want to solve them with only three people, do you think you are an immortal?"
Tan Kexun couldn't help it, so he sneered.
"Boy, I don't think you heard my warning clearly, did you?"
When An Su saw Tan Kexun taunting Li Yi again, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and was ready to teach him a lesson.
"What do you want to do?"
When Tan Kexun saw An Su rolling up his sleeves and arming his arms, he was directly frightened and took a few steps back.
"Okay, Ansu doesn't have to worry too much about this kind of person!"
Li Yi sneered at this time, looked at Tan Kexun, and then at Tan Lixing, and said disdainfully.
Tan Lixing suddenly felt a throbbing in his heart when he came into contact with Li Yi's gaze.
He shuddered, and then he felt as if he had made a very bad decision.
Although Tan Kexun kept looking for trouble with Li Yi and embarrassed Li Yi many times, this was his personal idea and decision, but Tan Lixing, as Tan Kexun's father, would not dare to be so arrogant without private instructions.
And the reason why Tan Lixing did this is nothing more than the same as Tan Kexun, because he felt that the kid in front of him was too public.
And he also felt that Li Yi and Yan Wuping and the Qi family were too close.
"Xiao Lizi, you said that two or three people can save these feudal princes' guards, but is it true?"
Qi Lao and Yan Wuping were all a little incredulous when they heard Li Yi say this.
"Since you don't believe it, please wait a while, and you can see the difference."
Li Yi said and nodded towards An Su and Yu Zhenlei.
The faces of An Su and Yu Zhenlei immediately showed joy.
"Li Yi, what do you mean by this? Are you not going to take me with you? ”
Qi Chao and Li Yi have been together for a long time.
So he also knew something about Li Yi, and just now Li Yi nodded at An Su and Yu Zhenlei to understand the meaning.
"You also saw that those eight-ox crossbows were all set up on the second floor of the house, and these houses are not very adult, but they can't be used."
Li Yi pointed to the houses that kept shooting huge crossbow arrows and said.
"In this case, Yu Zhenlei's big guy is not as suitable as me!"
Qi Chao still didn't give up.
"Who said I wasn't suitable! I'm big, but I'm also strong! Those eight-bull crossbows need a lot of effort to operate at first glance! ”
Yu Zhenlei, who has always been honest and wooden, immediately said anxiously when he heard that Qi Chao wanted to grab the opportunity to make a move.
"Am I too weak to do it?"
Qi Chao immediately retorted when he heard this.
"Why don't we compare the two of us?"
Yu Zhenlei's words made Qi Chao speechless.
Qi Chao had tried his strength with Yu Zhenlei more than once before, but each time the ending ended in his complete defeat.
"In this case, Anjun, why don't you go and give me the opportunity?"
Immediately, Qi Chao set his sights on An Su's body again.
But An Su smiled coldly.
"Old Qi, your grandson is so nonsense, don't you care?"
As soon as his words fell, Qi Chao's face couldn't help but change.
And when he turned back, he found that his father and mother, as well as his sister, had all looked at him with vicious eyes.
So he could only bow his head and say no more.
After determining the manpower, Li Yi unloaded the extra things on his body and only brought the storm with him.
And Ansu and Haiyin both took off their burdens and only brought weapons to the battle.
"Stay safe!"
Just when Li Yi took An Su and Yu Zhenlei over the wall, there was a large crowd, but Qi Ning couldn't help but whisper a reminder.
"If you go to us, you'll be back!"
Li Yi answered and went down the wall.
And when Qi Ning turned around, he found that his grandfather and parents were looking at him.
"Hey! The female university is not staying! ”
Qi Lao said with a smile.
And Qi Ning's parents were entangled at this time, how could they, as people who had come over, not see that their daughter had a secret promise to Li Yi, this kid!
Therefore, they were a little hesitant compared to Qi Lao.
To say that Li Yi's son is first-class in terms of appearance, talent, or martial arts.
Such a young man is worthy of his daughter.
But they had already booked a family affair for their daughter before, and the other party was still an official eunuch.
Compared with a kid like Li Yi who has no background, they still think that it is better for them to set up such a family affair.
However, they also understood that now was not the time to talk to Qi Ning about this.
"Childe, how can we save those vassal princes' guards?"
As soon as he got out of the courtyard, An Su asked.
"It's easy, just follow me!"
Li Yi raised his head and observed the surrounding situation, and immediately hurried away in one direction.
Although An Su and Yu Zhenlei didn't know what he wanted to do, they still believed in Li Yi unconditionally.
Soon, the two of them were led by Li Yi to the front of a shop.
"Fook Kee Garment Shop?"
Looking at the plaque on the door, he looked at Li Yi in confusion.
"This position is just right, you should be able to get other positions!"
After Li Yi confirmed the surrounding situation again, he stepped into the Fu Ji Garment Shop.
