Chapter Ninety-Three: Catching a Turtle in an Urn
Seeing that Li Wuchen ordered his general, Yin Yuankang's expression suddenly became excited, but when he heard that the other party only had five hundred people, he couldn't help but be a little curious about the surprisingly loud Taoist priest in front of him.
"Are you sure?"
Lin Changan looked at the other party with some concern, although he also knew that Li Wuchen would not be untargeted, but if he wanted to take down a Rongbian City with nearly 50,000 people through five hundred people, no one would believe it.
In the face of these people's doubts, Li Wuchen smiled freely, pointed in the direction of Rongbian City, and said, "Aren't there more than 200,000 people in the city? ”
This is true, since ancient times, the reason why the official army can crush the people who revolt is the armor, armor and long blades made of refined iron on their bodies.
As the saying goes, 'one armor tops three crossbows, and three armor enters the underworld', which fully illustrates the importance of war armor, and the most important reason why Li Wuchen can have such great confidence is the storage of armor and weapons in Rongbian City.
If it is said that this group of people who have been persecuted to the extreme have been blessed with these equipment, then the combat effectiveness that has erupted will definitely not be much inferior to that of the regular army.
This is also the reason why the officials and troops in the imperial court were able to repeatedly suppress the rebellious peasants.
It is no exaggeration to say that if a civilian is armoured, he can even face three men of the same strength.
Hearing Li Wuchen's words, Lin Chang'an's worries eased slightly, but the most important question now was that even if these five hundred people could enter Rongbian City, how could they seize the armory in the hands of those wandering and plundering Beirong barbarians.
For Dayan's iron armor, the Beirong people over there have also coveted it for a long time, so there is no need to guess too much, it must be heavily guarded, and how to solve those guards at the same time, send these tens of thousands of armor blades to the hands of those civilians.
"Is there a small force of resistance in the city?"
Li Wuchen didn't worry too much, and turned his head to look at Yin Yuankang on the side.
"Yes, not much, but at least more than 2,000 people. ”
On the way from the pile of corpses all the way to the general's mansion, they inevitably received the help of this group of rebel forces, most of whom were composed of local Jianghu sects and scattered soldiers.
Lin Changan's brows tightened, but despite this, he still didn't want Li Wuchen to go to the danger.
"Brother Yi, are the captured Beijung leather armor and war knives still there?"
Li Wuchen had a smile on his face, since he already had a belly case, he didn't have any hesitation, and this time he was going for the sake of righteousness, so he couldn't have the slightest concern.
"It's still there!"
Lin Changan immediately knew Li Wuchen's thoughts, and hurriedly ordered the guards behind him to prepare the batch of equipment of the Beirong people, and at the same time personally selected a thousand sturdy and tall soldiers and handed them over to Li Wuchen.
"Your Highness, the last general is ordered to accompany Master Li. ”
Wang Ji heard this, regardless of the dissuasion, ran to Lin Changkong's approach, knelt down on one knee and asked for his life, seeing that if he didn't agree to himself, he had a great intention of kneeling here.
"This trip is dangerous, and General Wang is wounded, so it's better to stay here. ”
Lin Changan's words were ambiguous, he didn't agree, he didn't refuse, compared to Li Wuchen, although he was quite sure, he couldn't rest assured at all.
If you can add Wang Ji, a hundred battle generals, then even if you fail, the chances of evacuating safely will be much greater.
"A little injury is not in the way, before, Lord Li Yu Mo will have the grace to save his life, let him lead the troops alone to take risks, the end will never be acceptable. ”
Wang Ji's gaze is firm, his character is like this, he will repay kindness, not to mention that although he and Li Wuchen have known each other for a short time, they are quite eye-catching, and they have a feeling of seeing each other late.
"In that case, then you can go. ”
Although he was very happy with Wang Ji's decision in his heart, Lin Changan's face showed a look of regret, and the tone in his mouth was even more sad, as if he didn't want him to take risks.
"The last general hereby thanked His Highness. ”
Seeing that Lin Changan agreed, Wang Ji quickly stood up and began to straighten out his soldiers and horses and change his clothes.
Although Li Wuchen wanted to refuse Wang Ji, he really had no experience in leading troops, and he was not familiar with Yin Yuankang, so he didn't say anything.
A group of more than 1,000 people, after changing into Beirong standard equipment, began to drive their horses towards Rong Border City.
When he was less than ten miles away from Rongbian City, Shicai hid his war horse and marched slowly on foot.
On the way, Li Wuchen did not forget to change the appearance of himself, Wang Ji, and Yin Yuankang to the appearance of the three thousand commanders who had been ambushed in the mountains of the Two Realms before.
The road Yin Yuankang led was very remote, in a dense forest, in a cave hidden by huge stones, which was the secret passage they had dug before.
"Are there Beirong people in the general's mansion?"
Li Wuchen's brows furrowed slightly, all this was surprisingly smooth, making him feel a little uneasy in his heart.
"My lord, except for the obstruction we received at the beginning, we basically passed unimpeded, and the leaders of the Beirong people gathered in the 'Qinhuai Tower' in the city to have fun, and the general's mansion only looted around and left. ”
Yin Yuankang's face was respectful, although he couldn't figure out the details of the other party, but as a criminal general who had just lost a city, he didn't dare to have any disrespect.
"No! No!"
This was only halfway through, Li Wuchen stopped, he had already heard from Yin Yuankang's mouth about how Rongbian City was destroyed.
The leader of the other party is definitely a rare wise general, so he will not let this passage remain at all, and under the eyes of the wolves, how did Yin Yuankang, the people who dragged their families and mouths, escape from the hands of the Beirong people.
If it weren't for the stupidity of the Beirong guards, it would be a trap.
"Send ten men back to see the entrance to the cave!"
Li Wuchen's voice was a little anxious, almost roaring.
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Ji quickly conveyed the order, and quickly separated ten soldiers with dexterous legs and feet from this team and turned back.
"What happened?"
Wang Ji, who had done everything, looked at Li Wuchen's face soaked in cold sweat, and a bad premonition instantly rose in his heart.
"It could be a trap. ”
Li Wuchen took a deep breath, his heart occupied by a wave of annoyance, the previous march was too hasty, and he completely forgot to explore the surrounding situation.
If the conjecture is true, then the other party must want to 'catch a turtle in the urn' and annihilate himself and others here in one fell swoop.
After Wang Ji heard this, his face suddenly turned bad, and his eyes began to reveal bursts of fierce light when he looked at Yin Yuankang, and the long knife in his hand was clenched, obviously as long as there was something wrong, he would draw the knife and face each other.
Yin Yuankang is not stupid, otherwise he would not have stepped into the ranks of famous generals, and he figured out the key in just a moment, and just wanted to open his mouth to prove his innocence, he heard an urgent shout.
"My lord, the entrance has been sealed with a boulder!"
