"When we captured Daha City before, did my father-in-law ever think that we would succeed overnight?" Li Wenhao said with a smile. Gu Yazi's identity must be kept secret, and he should be told that he is a senior craftsman to avoid being remembered.
"This is different. Last time you used a trick to set up an ambush outside the city, and you didn't really attack the city at all. It will be difficult to repeat the same trick this time. Hato, the guard of Langya King City, is known for his stability and ability to defend. This time
It's a tough battle!" Eunuch Hong retorted unconvinced.
"Didn't you plan to sneak into the royal city to search for clues about the treasure and ask me to send troops to respond? Since my father-in-law is so unsure, why not bother you to lead the team and go into the city to be an internal response?" Li Wenhao counterattacked, and the old eunuch who immediately choked blushed and became angry.
He hummed silently.
"Eunuch Hong, let me go to the back and take a look." Li Wenhao slowed down his horse and a second carriage came over. Sitting in it were Tiangang and Li Xiangxiang. The two were crowded together, and those who didn't know it thought they were a pair of young lovers.
Tiangang was lying on Li Xiangxiang, sleeping soundly, holding a thin rope in his hand, and the other end of the rope was tied to Li Xiangxiang's hand.
Li Xiangxiang, who was used as a pillow, had a little turtle painted on her face, her eyes were dull, and she looked like she was hopeless.
Li Wenhao smiled, said nothing, and looked at the third carriage. Inside the carriage was a fat old man wrapped in a fur coat, sleeping soundly.
After observing for a while, there was no problem, so he was relieved. This was the first time that he cared so much about someone and treated him like a national treasure.
Master Gu Yazi's level is very high, higher than he imagined, several floors higher.
The ten black iron cannons are as exquisite as works of art, and they are also equipped with metal running frames that can be pushed and pulled to run.
A cannon was secretly fired outside the city during the day, and it was able to penetrate boulders from a distance of two thousand meters. How exactly it can hit a city wall remains to be tested.
Two thousand craftsmen who built siege equipment set out with the infantry in the morning, and should have arrived by this time.
Wolf Seventeen, Ma Yidao, led the left and right cavalry camps, gathered 20,000 slave recruits, cut wood, and stationed themselves in an unknown valley fifty miles away from King Langya's city.
Everything is ready now. As long as the engineering equipment is built, we can reach the Langya King's city within an hour.
"I hope everything goes well. If we capture Langya King's City, we will also make a Marquis Dangdang!" Li Wenhao took a deep breath and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
The system opens the Ten Thousand Worlds Campaign page. There are two conditions. The first level of the legion has been achieved. The remaining one is to occupy a county. As long as the Langya King City is successfully captured, it seems that it is not far away!
Leading the legion to conquer the magnificent world, Li Wenhao's heart was filled with excitement when he thought about this.
Of course, we must not commit suicide. We are still very weak, so we must act within our capabilities!
Early the next morning, after a night's march, the team arrived at the Unnamed Valley and successfully rejoined the brigade.
"Report, I just received news that during the day yesterday, 20,000 Huaibei troops encountered the enemy fifty miles outside Heigu City. The soldiers mutinied. Except for a small number of cavalry who escaped, the rest of the infantry were all killed or captured. The whereabouts of the eldest son of the Marquis of Huaibei, Xuan Mochen, are unknown!
"
"Why did Xuan Mochen go to Black Valley City to cause the soldiers to mutiny?"
Li Wenhao had just walked into the big tent, and before he even took a sip of hot water, he was stunned by the news brought by the sentry.
"Tell me more details. I want to know the whole story."
"Follow the order!" the sentry responded, speaking slowly.
It turns out that Xuan Mochen actually learned the methods of the Fire Crow Army, attacking the slave owner's manor and using slaves to quickly attack the enemy.
It's a pity that he learned all the four things but failed to learn the most important thing.
The Fire Crow Army's policy is to distribute the houses, land, and part of the money and food owned by slave owners to slaves.
The recruitment of soldiers was also done on a voluntary basis, and some were recruited from the young and strong. Most of the slaves were left to work in the fields to ensure that the cultivated land would not be barren.
Moreover, the slave recruits are treated very well. Each of them is given a Qi and Blood Pill first, which is used to restore the body that has been squeezed by the slave master.
Even in the most stressful times, soldiers recruited temporarily are treated the same.
Xuan Mochen is different. He takes all the money himself. As long as he is a male slave, he can pick up a sword and go to the battlefield. What he does is even more excessive than the slave owner. How can he get the support of the slave?
Because of this method of recruiting soldiers, the number of soldiers increased extremely quickly, like a snowball. By the time they reached fifty miles outside Black Valley City, there were 70,000 to 80,000 slave soldiers.
As a result, Black Valley City sent a cavalry force of 5,000 men. Before they could reach the front, the slave soldiers mutinied. The 20,000 elite Huaibei Army soldiers had no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. They were suddenly overwhelmed by the tide of the slave army.
Except for a cavalry general named Hua Wenlong who fled with three thousand cavalry, the other infantry including Xuan Mochen did not escape.
There is no news yet whether Xuan Mochen is dead or alive, or whether he was captured.
"My uncle, I got kicked in the head by a donkey!" After listening to the report, Li Wenhao sat on a chair and rubbed his head, not knowing what to say.
The forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds!
For my father-in-law, Marquis Huaibei, I have three seconds of silence...!
It’s not easy to have such a precious son and not be angry to death...!
"Without the restraint of the 20,000 Huaibei Army, Huangtugang may not be able to hold on!" Tiangang wrinkled his face, worried about his senior brother.
"If you fail to succeed, you will fail. In this way, Yucha may capture Huangtugang at any time and lead his troops back to the royal city. The time left for us to attack the city is very tight, and it may only be today and tomorrow!" Li Wenhao punched the enemy.
On the table, his face became increasingly ugly.
"It still takes time to build the siege equipment. We originally planned to repair it all day today and launch the attack early tomorrow morning, but now it seems that it will have to be advanced to this afternoon."
"You, you want to attack the Royal City?" At this time, Li Xiangxiang finally understood that Li Wenhao was so mysterious and mysterious. It turned out that he wanted to attack the Langya Royal City. His mouth was open in shock, and his little head was in a mess.
"Eunuch Hong, for the present plan and in order to complete His Majesty's mission, I can only ask you to take a risk and bring some people into the city in disguise as internal agents."
Li Wenhao took a deep breath and raised his head to stare at Eunuch Hong seriously. Now it was time to see how loyal the old eunuch was to Emperor Youwu and whether he was willing to take risks.
Once the siege fails, it is conceivable that even a fifth-level expert will not be able to escape unscathed.
"Why don't we just attack the city? Let's think of other ways?" Eunuch Hong hesitated for a long time. The older he gets, the more afraid he is of death. Finally he shook his head.
"Eunuch Hong, do you think that if you miss this time, you will still have a chance to find the treasure that His Majesty wants from King Langya's city in the future?" Li Wenhao looked serious and said in a calm tone: "I don't care. If I can't win this time, I will find another chance in the future.
But you are different. How long do you plan to stay in Langya, one month, or one year?
The situation in Kyoto is changing, are you really so relieved and stay outside?"
"This..." Eunuch Hong grinned, his tooth hurt, and Li Wenhao's words hit home.
He also had enemies in the palace, and the eunuchs were more cruel than the others in their dirty tricks. If he went back too late, he might never be able to go back again.
"Okay, the Sa family will be loyal to His Majesty this time, I'll go!" Eunuch Hong finally nodded.
"I admire Eunuch Hong's loyalty and righteousness!" Li Wenhao saluted with clasped fists, feeling very excited. The old eunuch was a fifth-level master. With him as the internal coordinator, half the work was done!
