Chapter 63: The Master and the Deadly Scholar!
The originally bustling city of Nanjing is now very depressed and deserted.
Not for anything else, just because Lin Nuo's three thousand elite brocade guards rode into the city!
Knock! knock......
The sound of the war horse trampling on the earth sounded one after another, causing the earth to shake slightly.
The 3,000 cavalry under pressure came like a tide.
As soon as they entered the city, a force of iron and blood spread out, even if they were far away, the people of Nanjing City could clearly smell the bloody breath emanating from the military array.
Obviously, this is definitely an iron-blooded army that has been on the battlefield for a long time and has killed countless people!
"Master, the first person wearing black armor is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lin Nuo!"
There was an inconspicuous restaurant not far from the city gate, and at this time, two men were secretly peeking at the army pouring into the city like the sea.
One is an old man dressed as a master, and the other is a middle-aged man in a white Confucian robe, who looks very suave and elegant.
"What a terrifying army, when the previous commander Mu Bin was in power, Jinyiwei was not so strong!"
The old man shook the white feather fan in his hand, and the whole person looked extremely serious, as if he didn't expect that there would be such a palpitating army in this world.
The feeling of facing the deep sea is breathtaking!
"Perhaps, this is also the reason why Zhengde has to let Lin Nuo serve as a military attaché, our little emperor doesn't attach great importance to the army!" The white-clothed scholar patted the long sword hanging from his waist, and the whole person couldn't help but tense.
"Scholar, if you are asked to face these three thousand troops, can you be sure that you will calmly retreat after killing Lin Nuo?"
"Master, you also think too highly of me, if it is an ordinary guard army, it is still possible, but these three thousand horsemen are like killing machines, if they charge directly, it is estimated that Lin Nuo is not dead, I will have to be shot into a sieve!"
"Oh, this army, even your life-killing scholar is afraid?" The old man was a little surprised, in his impression, this great master under the command of King Ning, but he never knew what he was afraid of.
"Master, you don't practice martial arts, I don't know the way to this!" The life-killing scholar shook his head with a smile, "Look at those brocade-clothed guards, all the way, the formation is not chaotic at all, except for the sound of horses' hooves, no sound sounds. The most important thing is that the longbows they carry behind them are at least one and a half stones, and many soldiers even use two stone bows!"
"Do you know what that means? These 3,000 cavalry, almost all of them are marksmen!"
"In the face of three thousand marksmen, let alone me, even if it is Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, he can only retreat in time, otherwise his internal strength will be exhausted, and he will definitely die!"
The Death Scholar continued to praise the strength of the army below, but the old man next to him nodded noncommittally, turned around, and beckoned behind him.
The next moment, an extremely short old man appeared quietly and knelt down on one knee beside the master.
"Send a few dead soldiers to charge!" the master ordered.
"No!" The short old man's figure flickered and disappeared directly in place, leaving behind a cloud of white smoke.
"You don't believe my words?"
The scholar who killed him was a little annoyed, he had already said it in such detail just now, this number one master under the command of the prince actually sent someone to touch Lin Nuo's bottom, this is a distrust of himself!
"I naturally believe your words!" the old man shook the feather fan in his hand, looking strategic, "But I must see with my own eyes what level of combat strength Lin Nuo's army has reached, so as not to make mistakes in the layout in the future!"
"As a layout person, take one step to see three steps, vague and inaccurate things, you must find a way to completely figure it out, only in this way, the great cause of the prince, there will be no accidents!"
The life-killing scholar nodded indifferently, "You are the master, you have the final say, anyway, I am only responsible for your safety, and the rest is not something I have to consider!"
In the slightly expectant and nervous eyes of the master and the scholar who killed him, in the shops on both sides of the street, several dead soldiers dressed in black suddenly rushed out, without any words, and rushed directly in the direction where Lin Nuo was.
Whoa......
Without any accidents, a rain of arrows poured down from the sky, directly shooting several dead soldiers into a sieve.
The speed of those brocade-clothed guards was so fast that they didn't even need to aim, they shot directly by feeling, and a few dead soldiers even rushed out of a distance of seven or eight meters, and their bodies were overwhelmed by arrows.
The dense arrows were all embedded in the dead man's body, and not a single arrow missed!
"You're right, this army is too terrifying!" Master took a deep breath, "Let's go, the layout here has failed, it's time to leave!"
"Just leave like this? At most, there will be riots in several provinces south of the Yangtze River, and in order to control food prices, we have spent a lot of financial and material resources before, and now we will give up?"
"Scholar, if you lose a game of chess, you must know how to stop losses in time, if you are in love, you will only lose more and more miserably, you don't have to be rash!" the old man persuaded.
The scholar clenched the hilt of his sword, looking unwilling.
This world is the world of literati, he is a landed talent, although he has a strong force, but except for the prince, almost no one is willing to reuse him.
The reason why he is willing to follow King Ning is that he values King Ning's ambition to seize the throne, and he wants to be a minister of the dragon.
This time the layout of Jiangnan, the people under the command of King Ning began to lay out as early as a few years ago, and spent a lot of connections, financial resources, and material resources to have today's situation where food prices in several provinces in Jiangnan have skyrocketed, and the people cannot eat.
As long as he held out for another month, and there was a riot in several provinces south of the Yangtze River, the prince could take advantage of the situation and decisively send troops to occupy the area south of the Yangtze River, and rule the river with the Beijing court.
But now, the master is decisively going to give up this plan, how can he be willing?
"Master, did we really lose this game? I don't see where we lost?"
"If you lose, you lose, when Lin Nuo enters the city with these three thousand elites, we will lose!" The master sighed helplessly, "You don't think that this Lin Nuo led troops into the city just for sightseeing, right?"
"He's here to kill!"
"With such an army in hand, unless the local garrison is willing to rebel immediately, no one can stop him!"
"Let's go, the four major families are finished, without their behind-the-scenes manipulation, the price of food will soon return to its original price, and this chess game can no longer be maintained!"
Speaking of this, the master sighed again, "The plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, the original seamless chess game has an extra variable like Lin Nuo, it can only be said that the time for the prince to achieve great things has not yet come!"
