Chapter 421

"Let me introduce to you, this is the second son of General Flying Arrow, Ye Xiaoliang, one of my right-hand men, and my brother, this time I invited him over just for our troubles. Li Xiao said.

"Your Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, you have caused a lot of trouble this time, I heard that you are on the list of the Killer Association, this association is not something that ordinary people can afford to provoke. Ye Xiaoliang said, "Even if you kill this Qin Yue, I'm afraid that the trouble won't be small." ”

Li Xiao touched his chin, because this matter really needs to be calculated by himself. The trouble of the Killer Association is indeed very troublesome, and the killers under the Killer Association alone are unbearable. Even Li Xiao didn't dare to guarantee that the masters he had gathered under his command would be able to stop the other party, after all, those killers flew over from all over the mainland.

"But if we don't kill Qin Yue, our trouble will be even greater. Li Xiao said, "This matter, I'll think about it again, you help me keep an eye on that Qin Yue first." ”

"Fourth brother, what kind of killer association dares to write our name on the list, it's better for us to strike first and directly pull out this killer association, anyway, we in Nantang don't need this kind of insect-like Jianghu force. Li Ye was also very annoyed by Qin Yue's hanging of his name on the bounty list, but after the annoyance, there was fear.

After all, there is such a thing as a killer, not how strong the killer is, but not knowing where these killers will appear, when the killer will appear, and what method will be used to kill people, these are all headaches.

"Do you really think that this killer association is just an ordinary killer organization? This organization is definitely more difficult to deal with than you think. Li Xiao was also a little speechless for his younger brother.

However, it is normal for these brothers to not understand the things on the rivers and lakes, after all, these brothers are obsessed with the power struggle, not that they really like this kind of power struggle, but because in this kind of power struggle, if they lose, their lives will be gone. I don't know if I quit early, whether it's lucky or unlucky.

"Isn't it?" Li Ye was stunned. Although he doesn't know much about the forces of the rivers and lakes, he has tempered his ability to observe words and colors. Just now, I clearly saw the frightened expression on my brother's face.

How is this possible, his brother is the military god of the Southern Tang Dynasty, even in the face of those elite troops in the Middle Han Dynasty and the Middle Zhou Dynasty, his brows have not wrinkled, how can he be afraid of a Jianghu force called the Killer Association? But now, this matter seems to be true.

"Behind this killer association is the background of several holy places, and it can also be regarded as a gathering of some dark sides in these holy places. In order to use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, by the way, exercise their own strength, and loot their wealth, anyone can be the killer of the Killer Association, but not everyone can be the target of the Killer Association. Ye Xiaoliang said, "To tell the truth, now the Killer Association dares to take the list of the two princes, and it also looks up to the two princes." ”

"Xiao Liang, you're still so polite, can't you save me a little face?" Li Xiao didn't mind, but Li Ye next to him grew his own mouth, what is the situation, others put their names on the list of the Killer Association, and they can still be regarded as giving themselves face?

"Normally, the list received by the Killer Association must meet two conditions, the first is that the target of the assassination must be Ning Dan Realm, and the second condition is more than 10 million taels of silver. It is estimated that this time, the price offered by Qin Yue is too big, and the two of us have special identities, so the Killer Association will agree. Li Xiao also said helplessly.

"Are we just going to sit back and wait?" Li Ye didn't understand very much, didn't he have the means to fight back at all? As for putting Qin Yue's name on the list of the Killer Association and hurting each other, this point had already been stopped by the rules of the Killer Association. Qin Yue is not in the Ning Dan Realm, and at the same time, he can't come up with so much money.

Ye Xiaoliang looked at Li Ye, and then at Li Xiao, and he didn't know why the fourth prince would assist this younger brother, it was really a bit stupid.

Li Xiao directly picked up a piece of information and opened it directly, and the information written on it was the movement of the Southern Tang army that was now infiltrating the rear. Now, the Yuwen family army that sneaked into the rear can be said to be his killer weapon, and whether or not he can achieve results here depends on how the Yuwen family army conducts on the blockade of the back road of the Tianguan in the south of Western Qin.

At this moment, there was an announcement at the door

"Yuwen Ye, isn't this guy supposed to be supervising the battle under the West Qin City now, how could he appear here?" Ye Xiaoliang couldn't help frowning when he heard the name of the herald's announcement.

This Yuwen night can be regarded as a stunned young man of the Yuwen family, as soon as he entered the court, he was cleaned up by the bigwigs above the court, and finally was directly kicked here as a so-called "feudal official", in fact, he was kicked to the margins. "Feudal officials" are talking about guarding important places, not guarding a place where there is no danger, and the previous Western Qin belongs to the kind of place that is not dangerous in the eyes of officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After all, the king of Western Qin was still having a headache because of whether his throne was secure, and he had no time to launch a campaign against the Southern Tang Dynasty.

But I didn't expect that this stunned young man also came to operate from time to time, and Li Ye suddenly rose to the western frontier, preparing to recapture the three cities he had lost. And now, although it is not very peaceful within Western Qin, that Ying Xiaoyue can be regarded as having some skills, and it has basically achieved basic stability, and it is not a problem to transfer part of the troops to start a national war.

This kind of thing will kill a lot of people in the national war, that is for others, for meritorious nobles like Ye Xiaoliang, this is nonsense. After all, Li Renke had rewarded a marquis before, although it was only a marquis, but this was a signal. If anyone wants to say before, the empire will be knighted, Ye Xiaoliang, these meritorious nobles will definitely throw a big-eared melon seed over, what are you kidding, how long has it been since Nantang was knighted?

Even if they are knights, they are at most some honorary knights, and those lords are like turtles with shrunken heads, after all, the old nobles above the court are all forces that they can't afford to do. One has a fief, one does not have a fief, one can be hereditary, the other cannot be hereditary, and the superior is judged.

Now the appearance of the eldest grandson Cunxiao is to tell everyone that as long as he participates in this national war and is meritorious, then he can be knighted, and he is a knight with a fief, which completely makes those nobles who have empty titles and no fiefs in their hands, and those nobles who are taken back by the court year after year because of their family fiefs.

It's just that no matter how hard these nobles work, they are probably not as powerful as the unlucky guy Yuwenye.

After all, before this incident, Yu Wenye was the commander of the battalion, although the soldiers who came now were basically not his soldiers, but he was still the commander of the battalion. The reason is very simple, because Li Ye, who launched this national war in the first place, did not pull him down from the title of commander-in-chief.

There was no change of coach at the beginning, and it is even more impossible to change the coach now, but what is he coming for at this time?

"Dashuai, you can't continue to attack the city like this, although the casualties are not as big as before, but the siege equipment has been heavily damaged, six ladders and two battering rams have been lost, and other equipment is also seriously damaged, but Nantianguan is unscathed. "The first thing Yuwen said when he came in was these.

Li Xiao snorted coldly, acquiescing to this fact. Although it is said that taking out these siege equipment can effectively reduce the casualties in the case of a strong attack with only a ladder, these siege equipment are all money. Moreover, there are not many people who know how to manufacture these siege equipment, and these things that are taken out now are basically all the equipment that can be found in a short period of time, as for the remaining equipment in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that it will be mobilized from the eastern or northern front.

"What are you panicking about, the siege equipment is gone, and this king will buy it separately. Li Ye didn't care.

He had thought about this matter for a long time, so he hoarded a batch of siege equipment in advance, and reached a consensus with the people of the Mo family. At least, it is the consensus on money, even if a batch of siege equipment purchased is piled, it can be piled down by the walls of Nantianguan.

"What you want to say is not the loss of siege equipment, but the soldiers, even if they climb to the top of the Nantang city wall, it is difficult to gain a foothold. At this time, Ye Xiaoliang on the side suddenly spoke. As an archer, his eyesight has always been very good, and it was his eyes that played a big role in locking Qin Yue before. And now, he also saw that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were very brave in attacking the city, but ten rushed up, nine were pushed down by Western Qin, and one was estimated to have died on the city wall.

"What Ye Ergongzi said is that Xiqin has arranged a group of masters on the city wall, and our people, even if they go up, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. Yuwen smiled bitterly.

Li Ye also felt that his head hurt a little, and when he threw away the three male passes, he did arrange a little backhand. But he didn't expect that after his little tricks were exposed by the other party, these three heroic passes would be so difficult to bite.

"Okay, it's not your fault that this matter is not your fault, the Guanglin army is sharp, but even the army of the Central Zhou Dynasty has to retreat. Li Xiao shook his head, he could see what his brother was thinking. looked at Yu Wenye and Ye Xiaoliang again, these two were looking at him now, obviously letting him make up his mind.

"This siege can be slowed down temporarily......" As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, in an instant, the atmosphere inside the entire tent was suppressed.

After all, if you capture Nantian City one day earlier, you can make a difference to the imperial court a little earlier. Although it is said that there is no big mess yet, as long as it is a person, it can be seen that if the three Xiongguan cannot be broken, even if only one Xiongguan is not broken, Nantang will be defeated at the gate of Xiqin this time.

Now the domestic logistics of the Southern Tang Dynasty has become a big problem, even after several mobilizations, but the grain is still not able to turnover, and the stock in the treasury is only enough for three months. If the threshold of Western Qin cannot be broken within three months, then Southern Tang will be considered defeated this time.

Not even three months, in order to maintain stability, the time given by the old man Li Ren may even be even shorter, now what they have to do is to quickly conquer this city, and then come to the richer places inside Western Qin, and then feed the enemy. Now Li Xiao is actually preparing to slow down the speed of the siege, which is tantamount to suicide.

"Don't you know ......" Li Ye hesitated. But those words were not said after all, after all, it was Li Ren's secret edict to himself and Li Xiao, and there were outsiders in it.

"I don't want to enter Western Qin with huge casualties, believe me, as long as the Yuwen Army and the forbidden army can cut off the back road behind, then we can easily knock on the door of Nantianguan, and then let the defenders of Nantianguan flee towards Tiannanguan, and finally be annihilated under the attack of Yuwenjun and our army. Li Xiao said.

The existence of the Yuwen Army now has indeed cut off the follow-up support channel of the defenders of Nantianguan. The Longcheng army of Longxuan City is only holding on to the city, and it is not easy to drive the Yuwen army out of Tiannan Pass, let alone support Nantian Pass.

"However, the spatial passage of Nantianguan is still in the hands of the Western Qin army, and we can't take it for the time being, and if the defenders of Tiannanguan rely on these materials to defend the city, they will be able to defend it for several months. Yu Wenye said.

He didn't talk nonsense about this, I have to say that Qin Shuang, who was defending the city this time, still had some ability, before he thought that the defenders of Nantian City were completely the routs of the first few cities, plus the defenders behind them, and some of the rabble that had been put together temporarily, even if they could block the attack of the Southern Tang army, it was estimated that it would be extremely difficult. Even if there are a small number of elites of the Iron Army, it is the same.

But the fact is that it directly slapped them in the face, this Nantian Pass is not only difficult to bite, but even made many people break their teeth.

"They don't have that chance, I have already invited a formation mage, although it is said that compared to many of the guests who are supported by the court, but they are also two formation masters, with these two formation masters here, the spatial teleportation array on the side of Xiqin, don't think about normal operation. Li Xiao said.

This is his real killer feature, otherwise it would be meaningless to intersperse with the rear of Nantianguan, it is better to directly intersperse with the rear of Tiannanguan. At this time, there were indeed some small riots in Xiqin City.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Shuang asked as she looked at the logistics officer in front of her, just looking at the dead face of the logistics officer, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
