For the conjecture put forward by the corpse burst light, Mu Hua Li Falcon also felt very reasonable.

Until this time, he still hadn't thought about the possibility that Huai Yi had died.

"Since this is the case, we don't need to be too anxious about Huaiyi's matter, now we must find a way to go to the ancestral tomb of Emperor Yu first to confirm whether the entrance to the underground palace has been blown up."

Since it would take some time for the arrival of the Dayu army, Mu Hua Li Falcon still wanted to confirm whether the Broken Dragon Stone had been blown up.

"Now this fire is so big and the smoke is billowing out, if people go in, I'm afraid they will be burned to death or choked to death by the smoke!"

Murong Tongwei said helplessly to Mu Hua Li Falcon.

"If I let me know who set this damn wildfire, I'll break him to pieces."

The angry Muhua Li Falcon looked at the surrounding sea of fire and said angrily.

"Shaman, you don't need to worry too much, after all, this mountain fire will be extinguished after a while, and then we will check it out."

Murong Tongwei said persuadingly.

In his opinion, even if the broken dragon stone was not shattered now, it didn't matter, anyway, as long as they wiped out all the troops in Jinling City, they would have enough time to get rid of this big stone.

Even in his plan, as long as they wiped out the army in Jinling City, he would propose not to use the remaining five thunderbolts, but to go to Jinling City to capture some prisoners to help them break the Broken Dragon Stone.

In this way, he can bring a few thunderbolts back to the steppe people for the craftsmen to imitate.

As for whether they could defeat the defenders of Jinling City, it was completely out of Murong Tongwei's consideration.

After all, the number of people on his side has an absolute advantage compared to the other side.

Moreover, they are all cavalry, and most of the opponents are foot soldiers, so there is no suspense at all.

"That's all it can be now."

Mu Hua Li Falcon sighed and said helplessly.

Just when Muhua and Li Falcon were depressed, Li Yi and the others were hiding in the mountains and forests in the northwest of Emperor Yu's ancestral mausoleum.

The reason why they are hiding here is simply because the forest they are in is right on the wind of the wildfire, and the flames will not burn in their direction.

"Li boy, your method is really very effective, those grassland barbarians are now standing outside the imperial tomb like ants on a hot pot, and they are in a hurry."

The old king of Huainan stood in the mountains and forests, and looked in the direction where the grassland army was.

"It's just a stopgap measure, and they'll definitely send someone in once the fire goes down."

Li Yi was not proud of this, he said modestly.

"It's enough to just hold them off for a while, and when they come over with the troops in the temple, the grassland army won't have the heart to destroy the underground palace of the Taizu Emperor's Mausoleum."

The old King Huainan was very satisfied with the situation in front of him.

"But Your Highness, even if they bring all the troops in the city over, they may not be able to be the opponent of these steppe barbarians, right?"

As the commander of the city guard battalion, Lu He was still very clear about the combat power of the various armies in Jinling City.

Although the weapons and equipment of the Yaowu Army are much better than their city guard battalions, they are not stronger than them in terms of actual combat effectiveness.

As for the personal guards of the vassal kings, although their combat effectiveness is much stronger than theirs and their equipment is relatively good, their number is too small.

Moreover, they were all under the jurisdiction of each vassal king, so they had no experience in cooperating with each other at all, so they basically fought on their own.

Therefore, there is really no guarantee of how effective they can actually exert their combat effectiveness.

As for the Tiger Camp and Tiger Leopard Battalion brought by Shi Wensheng and them, although their combat effectiveness is strong, they are also the same as the vassal army, and their numbers are too small.

And in the end, the only thing that Lu He couldn't be sure of was the Qingjia Army that Zongzheng Temple had been hiding.

"I'm not sure if I can deal with these steppe barbarians, but in this situation, Sizheng will definitely order all the troops to fight to the death."

The old king of Huainan may have seen Lu He's concern, so he opened his mouth to comfort him.

"As long as they fight with the determination to die, there is still a high probability that they will be able to defeat these steppe barbarians."

Lu He knew that the momentum of the army could sometimes play a crucial role when it was fighting.

"You'd better not have too much faith in the troops in the city."

At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded behind everyone.

When the two of them heard this, they immediately frowned, and their faces were dissatisfied.

When they turned their heads, they realized that the person who said this turned out to be Jing Zizheng.

"Is Jing Gongzi so unoptimistic about those armies in the city?"

They didn't know much about Jing Zizheng, the old Huainan King and Lu He, they just knew that he was Li Yi's senior brother.

And they also knew that he was different from Li Yi, and Jingzi didn't know any martial arts.

"Just now, Your Highness said that as long as those troops in the city fight with the determination to die, they will have a great chance of defeating the grassland army, but you have forgotten that the grassland people are alone in the hinterland of our Dayu at this time, don't their soldiers know that their current situation is also nine deaths?"

Jing Zizheng just said lightly and made the old Huainan King and Lu He speechless.

The actual situation is indeed as Keiko said.

The situation faced by the steppe people today is much more dangerous than that faced by the armies in the city.

Although the underground palace of Emperor Yu's ancestral tomb was blown up, these people would be infamous through the ages, and they would also be severely punished by the imperial court.

But this is really nothing for those low-level soldiers.

The so-called infamy through the ages must be counted on the heads of Mu Xiayan and those vassal kings, and at most, Shi Wensheng and Zheng Yu and others will not fall on their heads anyway.

As for the so-called court punishment, it is even more dispensable for them.

Because since ancient times, the imperial court has chosen not to blame the people when dealing with this kind of thing, and the most they can do is to find trouble with those who are in charge.

Therefore, no matter how severe the punishment is, it will only fall on the heads of Mu Xiayan and the vassal kings.

And most of these low-level soldiers were expelled from the army and exiled to the wilderness.

The steppe people, on the other hand, now seem to have the upper hand.

But with all the advantages like duckweed in the water, if the wave is a little bigger, they are in danger of being completely destroyed.

After all, even if they completely wiped out all the troops in Jinling City, there were so many troops in the entire Dayu Dynasty.

As long as the surrounding vassal kings really want to destroy them, they can directly send troops to block their escape routes, and then they can slowly consume these steppe armies alive.

For this point, the old Huainan king believed that those grassland soldiers must be very clear.

Therefore, they must not be weaker than the army of Jinling City in terms of morale.

"So what are we going to do? Could it be that we will not surrender just like this? ”

Zhang Fengmu originally thought that it was a happy time for the grassland army to be blocked by the fire, but Jing Zizheng's words poured him cold like a scoop of cold water.

So he couldn't help but get angry.

"I'm afraid I'll die faster if I surrender!"

Li Yi said with a sneer at this time.

And the old Huainan King saw that Li Yi's face was very calm as usual, and he immediately realized that Li Yi must have other ways to resolve this crisis.

"Boy Li, have you already thought of any good solutions?"

Then he immediately asked.

"There are still solutions, but I don't know if they can succeed."

Li Yi looked at the dense grassland army in the distance, and he was also a little hesitant in his heart.

"Oh? You want to see if there is any way to break the game? ”

Old Huainan Wang's eyes lit up and he immediately asked.

If Li Yi had said such a thing before, he would definitely not believe Li Yi.

But just now, Li Yi gave him a strategy to burn the mountains and forests to block the grassland army, but he was impressed by Li Yi.

"Actually, this method is very simple, that is, capture the thief and capture the king first!"

Li Yi did not hide it, he directly stated his plan.

"You mean the commander of their army?"

When the old Huainan King heard this, he immediately stood up straight.

"That's right, Your Highness must also know that the steppe people are different from the Dayu people, as the leader of the nomadic people, they have an extremely important role in both life and battle."

Li Yi nodded and explained to the old Huainan King.

"Through history, we can know that the rise and decline of the grassland tribes are much faster than those of the Central Plains Dynasty, and the fundamental reason is that the rise and decline of the grassland tribes are mostly tied to the leader."

"What Li Gongzi means is that if the grassland tribe has a leader with great talent, they will rise quickly, and if their leader is incompetent, they will decline quickly?"

It was the first time Lu He had heard this statement.

"That's right, so as long as we can kill the leaders and high-ranking members of this army, those steppe cavalry will inevitably be in chaos and will collapse at the touch of a button."

Li Yi nodded affirmatively.

"Your plan is good, but it's just whimsical!"

Zhang Fengmu said mercilessly.

As soon as these words came out, both Lu He and the old Huainan King all glared at him angrily.

Zhang Fengmu immediately subconsciously shrank his head, and then he immediately spread his hands and explained.

"This kid's plan seems to make a lot of sense, but it's a fool's dream to assassinate the other party's leaders and high-ups under the protection of 20,000 cavalry."

Zhang Fengmu explained, and immediately motioned for Li Yi to continue his defense.

Seeing Zhang Fengmu's provocative gaze, before Li Yi could speak, Jing Zizheng sneered.

"What is Jing Gongzi's opinion?"

Zhang Fengmu saw that Jing Zizheng was clearly mocking himself, and he couldn't help but say with a dissatisfied face.

"It is true that as you said, it is impossible to kill the leader and high-ranking of the other party under the protection of 20,000 grassland cavalry, but my junior brother did not say that he would break through the protection of 20,000 cavalry to kill the leader of the other party!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense! If you don't break through these steppe cavalry, how can you kill those people? Could it be that you can still control them to take the initiative to stand up on their own? ”

Zhang Fengmu said with a mocking face.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Li Yi and Jingzi looking at him with smiles on their faces.

"Li Yi, do you mean that when their leader comes forward, we will suddenly attack them?"

Old King Huainan immediately understood Li Yi's plan.

In his opinion, although Li Yi's plan is very risky, if it succeeds, it can indeed be a decisive battle.

As long as they kill the leaders and high-ranking leaders of the other side in front of the battle array, then those troops in Jinling City will definitely seize the opportunity to deal a fierce blow to these steppe cavalry.

"You say it nicely, but the leader of the steppe cavalry is not a fool, how could they take the initiative to stand up?"

Zhang Fengmu was still not convinced.

"Lao Zhang, don't talk about it!"

Lu He, who was standing on the side, couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly persuaded helplessly.

"Humph! You said that when those troops from Jinling City came, the leaders of the steppe cavalry would not come forward to observe the situation, and would they negotiate with the army of Jinling City? ”

Jingzi looked at Zhang Fengmu like an idiot.

"This ······"

Zhang Fengmu was directly speechless by Jing Zizheng's words.

According to what he knew about the steppe people, these guys would definitely stand up and mock the enemy in person when they had an absolute advantage.

And if they suddenly kill from the oblique side at this time, they can indeed catch the opponent off guard.

If their speed is fast enough, the person who moves is strong enough in martial arts, and there is indeed a high chance that they will directly kill the opponent.

However, this opportunity is fleeting, and once the other party reacts, then the person responsible for assassinating the other party will inevitably go back.

So to carry out this plan, you have to take a lot of risks.

"This plan is indeed feasible, even if the plan fails and fails to succeed in killing the leader of the other party, it will inevitably cause panic among the steppe cavalry, so that it can also give Sizheng and them a chance to raid!"

Before Zhang Fengmu could continue to make excuses, the old Huainan King took the lead in speaking.

"That's right, once the formation of the grassland army is messed up, those guys in the city shouldn't let go of such a good opportunity!"

Lu He then said with a happy face.

"But if you want to successfully execute this plan, the right person is the key!"

The old Huainan King immediately frowned and began to worry.

"Indeed, the people responsible for implementing this plan will not return if they are not good, and they must also be strong in martial arts!"

Lu He was also a little distressed.

As the commander of the city guard battalion, he still knows the strength of the city guard battalion very well.

In their city guard camp, if they want to elect people who can carry out this operation, I am afraid that only Tang Minghu and a few others are them.

There would be no more than twenty of these people at full.

"Our city guard battalion, I'm afraid you can only draw twenty people to carry out this operation."

Lu He told the situation of the city guard camp.

"There should be quite a few of my Huainan royal guards who can carry out this operation."

Old King Huainan said slowly.

"Your Highness, none of your Huainan king's personal guards are good!"

Li Yi shook his head directly at this time.

"Why is that?"

The old King Huainan looked at Li Yi with a surprised expression, he didn't understand that in terms of strength, the combat effectiveness of his Huainan King personal guards was much stronger than that of the city guard battalion.

"It's very simple, because their hearts are too high!"

Li Yi gave an answer that no one expected.

When the surrounding Huainan princes and guards heard this, they all looked at Li Yi with dissatisfaction.

"Your Highness, you saw it! How can such a person act in unity with the people? ”

Immediately, Li Yi pointed to these Huainan royal guards and said.

And the old Huainan King looked at these guards of his own and sighed with hatred.
