Li Rizun would launch an attack on the military stronghold every two hours. This was a tactic he had planned long ago. An hour later, when the war slaves carefully entered the military stronghold from the cliff, they found that the place was already occupied by people.
There were only a hundred or so dummies standing on the wall, which were no different from real people in the light and dark firelight. Li Dezheng, who was tied to a wooden pillar, was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a headless corpse that made people suspicious.
When Li Rizun requested that the body be treated as Li Dezheng, he met with strong opposition from the Jiaozhi royal family, and a prince directly pointed out that this was not his father's body and urged Li Rizun to march quickly to recapture his father from the Song Dynasty. Only when he was sure that his father was dead
Only if he dies or is rescued can Li Rizun successfully carry out the enthronement ceremony.
The furious Li Rizun killed the prince who had always been known for his benevolence and filial piety and other opponents on the spot. All this fell into the eyes of Youxin, who not only had the informants of other princes, but also Wu Shengjun.
An eight-niu crossbow was firmly fixed on the big tree, and three thick crossbow guns had been set up on the crossbow slots. After confirming that the person standing next to the fake Li Dezheng corpse was Li Rizun, he lit the crossbow first.
After twisting the gunpowder on the gun, a hammer down activated the mechanism. The three crossbow guns crossed the open space of more than 200 feet in the military camp and headed straight for Li Rizun with a piercing scream. The direction and distance had been set long ago.
After calculation, the reason why the body was left behind was so that Li Rizun could come and check it in person.
The assassin didn't even look at the result. After lighting the match rope wrapped around the big tree, he was sandwiched by two dark Khmer men and escaped into the depths of the forest, swinging like a monkey on the vine he had chosen earlier.
Li Rizun's guard noticed the abnormality immediately. He had no time to drag Li Rizun away, and habitually blocked the prince with his body. The three powerful heavy-hammer crossbows easily shattered the guard's big gun like three iron hammers.
After the hammer smashed the shield and the chest of a guard, the entire crossbow exploded with a bang. The fragments of the explosion completely tore apart Li Rizun's defense circle. The result of the explosion of the three crossbows was a splash of blue.
Colorful phosphorus fire densely enveloped a three-foot-square area.
The phosphorus fire that ignited at the sight of the wind fell on the crowd in an instant. No matter how they beat it, it was of no avail. If their hands were stained with phosphorus fire, their hands would burn. If their clothes were stained with phosphorus fire, their clothes would burn. Even if their weapons were stained with phosphorus fire, their weapons would be burnt.
It can also burn. Li Rizun looked at the green flames burning on his legs in horror. He screamed and rubbed against the guard beside him. The guard who was already on fire screamed and was hacked to death by the guard leader. The guard leader picked up the burning fire.
The corpse was poured into Li Rizun's legs with the blood splattered on it. The blood took away some of the phosphorus fire, and the dark burning blood glowed with a permeating blue color.
After the flames on Li Rizun's legs were extinguished, he had already passed out from the pain. Before he passed out, he still issued an order to be on full alert and prepare to attack...
It was already bright when Li Rizun woke up. He immediately took a look at his rotten left leg. He was still frightened by the attack last night. It was just a little bit worse. If the number of crossbows
Any more and you will definitely be burned alive.
At this moment, he was full of fear of the Song army in front of him. He thought that the Song army was cowardly and that Nong Zhigao's mob could destroy half of the sky, leaving him without a realistic understanding of the Song army. If Nong Zhigao
When we raised the army, we faced an army of more than 10,000 people. I am afraid that they could not make waves at all and were easily beheaded.
If the middle of the military camp was controlled by Wu Shengjun's long-range weapons, which prevented the Jiaozhi warriors from using their melee strength, then the battle for the mountains gave him a thorough experience of the Song army's combat skills. The thought of personally training Long Wei to kill casualties
After defeating more than 2,000 men, Li Rizun lost all interest in pursuing the Song army.
The weapons of the Song Dynasty were too vicious and terrifying. He saw the ruined Shenglong City, especially the huge gap that was vivid in his mind whenever he thought about it. What kind of power could completely destroy the huge bluestone city gate?
The imperial doctor gently washed his burned calf with the medicine, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to him: "Your Highness, the fire poison has entered your body. Only by scraping off the upper layer of muscle with a knife will your wound heal."
Li Rizun waved his hand and said: "Just do what you have to do. The lonely king just needs to recover as soon as possible!"
In order to prove his strength, Li Rizun, who was sweating like rain, was still listening to his subordinates' reports while the imperial doctor was cutting off his flesh to heal his wounds. The severity of the damage to Thang Long City and the surrounding temples was completely beyond his imagination. When he heard
By the time the entire imperial city had been burned to the ground, he seemed to have forgotten even the pain of cutting his flesh.
"Your Highness, Thang Long City is no longer suitable as the imperial capital. I believe that the most important thing for Your Highness now is not to hunt down the Song army who have escaped into Lin Mang, but to ascend the throne as soon as possible to calm the people's hearts. The kings of Shaocheng and Dacheng have secretly
An alliance was established, and Jiaozhi was divided into northern and southern parts after preparing to kill the prince.
If His Highness still pursues the Song army at this time and damages his own strength, this will play into the plans of the King of Shaocheng and the King of Dacheng. What the Song army will take away is only money. They cannot take away the people and land. As long as His Highness rests and recuperates for a few years, those treasures will be lost.
The treasury of Cochin will still be full, so please make an early decision on where to go."
The words of the prince's master Jia Yi completely awakened Li Rizun. As long as he struggled with the Song army for one more day, he would lose a point of strength. This was an act of staking the enemy. Even if he wiped out all the Song army and recaptured it.
Treasure, I am afraid that his strength will be running out. Thinking of his two capable brothers, Li Rizun decisively ordered: "Order Qian Dewan of Yulong Pass to lead five thousand elite troops to continue to pursue the Song army. The army will immediately return to Shenglong."
City, summon the royal family and nobles, the lonely king will ascend the throne in Thang Long City!"
Seeing that the prince had finally followed his advice, Gayi nodded with a smile and went down to prepare. This time, only Thang Long City was actually the only city that suffered the disaster. Although the treasury and palace treasures were robbed, it had little impact on the national destiny of the entire Cochin.
Jiaozhi is a country with hundreds of cities. These losses will still occur after a few years. What's more, there are countless countries around it that you can plunder, and you only need to pass the losses on to other countries.
Yun Zheng is still not sure whether the Jiaozhi people will go crazy and chase them. Logically speaking, Li Rizun will not be so brainless. He doesn't know how he will get the gift he left for him when he left the military camp. At this moment, with Jiaozhi
The pursuers were less than thirty miles away, which gave him a huge headache.
The battle in the valley severely damaged Wu Shengjun's vitality. The four heroes Xiao Lin, Liang Ji, Peng Jiu, and Wu Jie were all seriously injured. Xiao Lin could still move a little bit, but the other three could only lie on the back of the elephant and groan.
, so I can only handle matters after the break by myself.
Yunzheng left fifty war elephants for himself. Unfortunately, the estrus period of elephants only lasts a few days. No elephants will join his herd on the return trip. Every war elephant left behind is a building of war.
Fortresses and divine arm crossbows can best play their role in such an environment. Their strong power makes every Cochin man who comes forward become a target.
"Master Ye Sou, why do those Jiaozhi people have to follow the forest road to chase us? Can't they go around from both sides and then attack us?"
It had been two days, and the lightly-armed and docile Jiaozhi people finally caught up with Yun Zheng. He was originally worried that the Jiaozhi people would bypass him and attack the caravans and logistics camps in front of him, but he found that those Jiaozhi people never cut in the queue and just kept fighting like this.
To bite yourself and always attack from behind is almost like giving up your life. On the narrow forest path, Yun Zheng felt that with a dozen divine arm crossbows, he could completely defeat the enemy.
After Ye Sou put on his clothes, he felt more ancient and said to Yun Zheng sadly: "This is the value of the road. The so-called road is the safest line in the forest. With such a road, all wild beasts, snakes and insects can't stop it."
You will not come to these roads easily. There are no swamps and no miasma. It is the most suitable place for people to pass through.
I'm very worried now. People in Cochin already know that we are helping you, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Cochin in the future."
Yun Zheng looked at the old man strangely and said: "When you were robbing food and women in Shenglong City, people already knew your origins. Besides, you look special. It would be difficult to forget you after just one glance. Even if you are fooled,
The same goes for your face. Since you participated in the robbery, you should be aware of being discovered!"
Ye Sou was still about to speak when he heard the sound of a whistle coming from the woods. The lingering Jiaozhi people were chasing after them again. Yun Zheng and Ye Sou were both hiding in the big shield circle on the back of the war elephant, listening.
The sound of crossbows outside continued the discussion of these topics.
The sound of the bow string lasted for a stick of incense, and was left behind by the slow footsteps of the elephant. The place where the Cochin people's bows and arrows could not reach was the distance where the divine arm crossbow could exert its power.
"Actually, you can come to the Song Dynasty to make a living, because with this meritorious service in hand, the government will treat you well." Yun Zheng always felt that he should come to Jiaozhi again. If he went to Jiaozhi every one or twenty years to harvest property, it would still be better.
Not bad, so he really wanted to win over the Ye Sou and the Khmer people.
"Haha, we are the descendants of the forest, so we should live in the forest. If we leave the forest, we will die." The old man answered seriously.
Think about it, if a nation loses its own characteristics, it will indeed disappear without a trace. Especially when facing the Han race, which has a strong ability to assimilate, other small ethnic groups really shouldn't get too close to it.
"I can't help you if you don't want to. Since you like to live in the forest, then try to live in the forest as close to the Song Dynasty as possible. If you are in danger, I can help you, Master Yesou,
Thank you very much this time. Without you, there would be no glory of our trip. (To be continued)
