Chapter 125: Qi Fenglou's shrewdness
'Akiike Mountain'
The army was still surrounded and could not be attacked, and in the past three days, several exchanges had been made, and now a team of about 100 officers and soldiers was eager to try. The mountain is densely covered with 'row crossbows', and at the battlements of various fortifications, a 'three-string cloud-breaking crossbow' with a range of 1,200 paces is directed down the mountain.
"Lord Shao, this matter started because of us, and this battle will be taken over by 'Tan Men'. "Eating other people's people, living in other people's houses, and bringing trouble to other people, Tan Xingde is really a little unhappy.
Shao Mingqian smiled and said, "Master Tan is relieved, it's enough to have 'Xuanyi Guard' to deal with." ”
Tan Xingde frowned slightly, three hundred to four or five thousand well-armored officers and soldiers, even if this battle is won, it will be a heavy loss, if it is really like that, his party owes too much to the 'Yang Dao Alliance', although he does not want to do anything but prefer the people of the 'Tan Gate' to fight, after all, the family members of the 'Tan Gate' have to rely on the 'Yang Dao Alliance' for protection.
Xiong Dan saw his expression late and comforted: "Master Tan is too worried, there are sixty rows of crossbows on our mountain, each row of crossbows can shoot ten crossbow arrows at a time, and they are divided into three sets during the battle, and the space for complementing the crossbow arrows is fired without stopping, and the more enemies there are, the more casualties the heavier." "'Tanmen' is a master of using crossbow arrows, how can you not know it, but the latter's crossbow arrows are light and dexterous, and there are very few large bed crossbows like this kind of defense.
"Master Tan, please see, in addition to the crossbows, we still have eighteen 'three-string cloud-breaking crossbows', guarding eighteen passes, these eighteen passes are condescending, with a wide field of vision, no matter which direction the enemy attacks the mountain from, you can see it for the first time, and you can shoot the enemy as long as you turn the direction with the range of the cloud-breaking crossbow......" Xiong Danchi pointed to the end of the stone roof with his finger, and the battlements everywhere, and said: "'' The crossbow arrows fired by the Three-String Cloud Breaking Crossbow can pierce through the golden whipstone, and no matter how good the armor and shield can protect it, its accuracy is excellent, and the range is extremely long, which is the best weapon to shoot the enemy leader. What's more, when the three-string wheel of this crossbow arrow rolls out an arrow, the next crossbow arrow is pressed against the string by the roller, and it can be shot again as long as the trigger is bracketed. ”
"Automatic winding?" Tan Xingde couldn't help but be surprised, his 'Tan Men' was an expert in all kinds of strange bows and crossbows, so he naturally knew what was so powerful. In terms of power, the 'city-breaking crossbow' of his 'Tan Gate' is not necessarily weaker than this 'three-string cloud-breaking crossbow', but if such an earth-shattering heavy crossbow can be wound automatically, it is equivalent to being able to shoot continuously without stopping. He also wanted to change the 'City-Breaking Crossbow' to self-winding, but he couldn't do it no matter how he thought about it, the reason still didn't make sense, and it was unknown how the 'Raising Sword Alliance' overcame this difficulty.
"The four groups of 'Xuanyi Guard' Xiong Dan listened to the order late. Seeing a team of 100 officers and soldiers rushing out on the other side, Heng Wuxuan suddenly shouted.
"In. Xiong Danchi's expression was constricted, and he was right.
"Lead ten people to fight, only wounded and not killed. "There is no calculation.
"Yes. "Immediately, Xiong Dan delayed the ten people of the 'Xuanyi Guard' and rushed down the mountain.
"Master Shao, what does this mean?" said Huangfu in confusion, the purple butterfly sticking behind him like a plaster. Wound but not kill, every time you do it in the past three days, you will give this kind of order.
Shao Mingqian said: "Master Hou just wants to add some pressure to the 'Yang Dao Alliance' so that we can retreat in the face of difficulties, since he doesn't want to really do it, why should we force him?"
"The alliance leader's words are incomprehensible, and they don't want to really do it, are they acting with a vigorous attitude and leading people to attack the mountain?"
As soon as the words came out, suddenly two sharp cold lights shot out, and Heng Wushu stared at her deadly, but did not say a word. Purple Butterfly was startled by him, and hurriedly hid behind Huangfu Remnant Candle, who hugged her sideways and patted her back to comfort her.
Shao Mingqian smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Halfway up the mountain, Xiong Danchi's ten 'Xuanyi Guards' rushed down, and when a short battle boarded, the team of 100 officers and soldiers was scattered, and the officers and soldiers of that group were busy surrounding and went up, and the 'Xuanyi Guards' suddenly retreated more than ten steps. The officers and soldiers who had rushed out just wanted to retreat, the 'Xuanyi Guard' suddenly counterattacked, knocking down a few people, and the remaining officers and soldiers had just retreated, and the 'Xuanyi Guard' took advantage of their unstable position to kill again......
Although there were many officers and soldiers, they were forced to stay on a steep and steep slope and could not get started, and of course the advantage of being large in numbers did not exist.
By the government.
In the hall sat Master Li and Lu Pingyi, the left leader of 'Qifeng Tower', and Han Hong, the right leader of 'Qi Feng Tower', Master Li played with a copper coin between his fingers, and his attitude was quite leisurely.
"Han Lu, the two deacons, came to the mansion today to see you, but what is the matter?" Master Li said.
"Oh, it's nothing important, the helper sent the two of me to meet the governor, and secondly, to see if the governor has a place for me to work in the 'Qifeng Tower' in the near future. Han Hong said with a smile.
Master Li chuckled lightly and said, "It's rare that the Wei Gang Master has a heart, is Lu Zhitou's injury healed?"
Lu Ping hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Lao remembers, the injury under the is no big deal, and it is okay to raise the general and do it with others for another year and a half." ”
Master Li nodded and said: "The last incident damaged many of your Wei Gang master's subordinates, but all the benefits were taken up by the 'Six Dragons Gang', the governor has the heart to help you seek justice, but no one in the 'Dragon God's mansion can stop it, alas, this 'Six Dragons Gang' dominates the three cities, and its power is all over the two states, so it is indeed not easy to mess with." ”
Han Hong said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the 'Dragon God' is, it is just a person in the opposition, how can he compare with the eloquence of the Governor and Mr. He? What's more, showing weakness to the enemy is a killing move in the art of war. ”
Master Li said with a smile: "Han Zhishou is raised below, to be honest, it may not be difficult for me to deal with others with this little ability, and it may not be difficult to deal with the 'Six Dragons Gang'...... But it's not that easy, even if I have that heart, I don't have so many people in the house. ”
Lu Ping frowned, how could he not hear Master Li's words, but their 'Qifenglou' didn't want to provoke the 'Six Dragons Gang', so it was just a small fight, and if they really made a big fuss, they would tear their faces and tear their faces, and the ten 'Qifenglou' were not the opponents of the 'Six Dragons Gang'.
Han Hong smiled, pretending not to know, Master Li glanced at it, and said coldly: "Actually, as long as the 'Six Dragons Gang' rules and regulations do his business, don't provoke the governor, and the governor has no intention of dealing with them......" Han Lu's face softened, Han Hong was about to echo, Master Li changed his words, and said: "However, many things are like this copper coin......" As he spoke, he put the copper coin against the table with his left index finger, and with a flick of his right hand, the copper coin suddenly spun on the table.
"No matter how it turns, after all, you still have to choose to show people on one side, either the front or the back......" His eyes swept to Han Lu and the others, and then looked at the rotating copper coin, at this time, the copper coin turned slowly, and gradually had the tendency to topple, Master Li leaned back, and said slowly: "The edge is not standing." After speaking, the copper coin just fell, revealing one side, but it could be a back.
Han Lu and the others laughed, and Han Hong said: "I'm 'Qifenglou' has always been the head of the governor and Mr. Ma. ”
Master Li smiled: "Well, it's good that you have this heart, so what 'Qifeng Tower' secretly did to the 'Six Dragons Gang' must not be known." ”
Han Hong smiled: "Thank you, Mr. for hiding it on your behalf." ”
Master Li smiled and said, "You and I are both working for the governor, why do we separate each other?" he picked up the copper coin and turned it between his fingers.
"That's that, that's. Han Hong replied with a smile. He didn't want to dwell too much on this matter, so he paused and changed his words, and said, "Talking and forgetting about business, I don't know if the governor can use the 'Qifeng Tower' recently?"
Master Li said: "The two of you want to ask about the new emperor's succession, they are all their own people, and if you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”
Han Hong said: "I still can't hide it from Mr. I don't know what the temperament of our new emperor is, and what the next step is, I would like to ask Mr. for advice. As he spoke, he took out a carved wooden box of red sandalwood more than a foot long from his sleeve and handed it over.
Master Li took it casually and put it on the table, without looking at it, and said, "I'm afraid that our new emperor has some means, and we lost it to his men last time, this son is not good." ”
Han Hong said: "Sir, you mean that the new emperor wants to do something to us?"
Master Li said: "It's hard to say, it depends on whether he intends to be in the imperial power or in the world." ”
Han Hong said: "Please make it clear, sir." ”
Master Li said: "If he intends to be in the imperial power and has the assistance of the governor, this emperor will be much easier, and he can enjoy the joy of imperial power, but he will have less worries about the throne." If he is determined to be in the world, he will have to break it and then stand up, and a struggle for power will be inevitable, and we will have many constraints and it will be quite tricky to deal with. However, fortunately, the person behind him is dead, he has no soldiers, no soldiers, no money, no power, and there is no need to worry about just having a vacant position, if we really tear our faces, we are not afraid. ”
Han Hong said: "What does the governor mean?"
"What should the two leaders do if they are in the position of governor?" asked Master Li rhetorically.
"Of course, it is the safest to hold the real power and respect the emperor on the surface. Han Hong said. Master Li looked at Lu Zhishou, and Lu Zhishou also nodded and said, "This is indeed the safest way." ”
Master Li nodded and said, "Well, I also think this method is more secure. ”
Han Hong persevered and asked, "I wonder if the governor thinks the same way?"
Master Li smiled and said, "I don't know about this, the governor has not returned since he entered the palace a few days ago, but there is one thing that may be revealed." ”
"What?"
"A few days ago, the Governor of Tianfu went around recruiting heroes from all over the world, and your deputy gang leader Cheng Ting also helped a lot from it, he probably told you about this, right?"
The two nodded, and Han Hong said: "The deputy gang leader of this matter was handed over to Zaixia, and the two monsters of Zhongzhou were sent to recruit him." ”
Master Li nodded and said, "On the day the emperor died, the governor sent all the heroes who had rushed to the middle of the road back the same way. ”
Han Hong frowned, quite puzzled.
"Is the governor afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion?" Lu Pingyi suddenly asked.
Master Li smiled and said: "The change of imperial power is such a big deal, and the rest of the things have to be put aside first." Since nothing can be done, inviting so many martial arts masters does not attract suspicion. ”
Han Hong said: "This move is obviously not to antagonize the emperor from the beginning, it turns out that the governor is the same as we think." ”
Master Li said: "The situation is unclear, and it is a good strategy to wait and see what happens. ”
"Gao Ming!" Han Hong smiled with his fists clenched. At the same time, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
