In the dormitory in the deep courtyard of the palace, Tang Ba, Dou Niang and others gathered together after arrangements had been made.
"A bunch of old dudes can't see the situation clearly. They really regard me as their savior?!" Tang Yan hurried back depressedly, picked up the water cup and drank some water, and said directly: "Myna, let me ask a question, what happened in the end?
What? Give me a detailed introduction."
"I haven't come back to my senses yet. Dazhou's troops suddenly went crazy and completely changed their style. I have communicated with the Golden Crow Guards and Sword Guards, and I can basically conclude that Dazhou's troops were weak in the early stage.
It’s not like pretending, the madness in the later period is very sudden, like being injected with some kind of drug, almost irrational madness.”
Thinking about it now, Tang Ba still felt a little frightened. The scene was like being surrounded by countless beasts, and his eyes reflected in the firelight glowed with an evil red light.
Madam Dou muttered: "If this kind of situation happened to a small number of people, it would be excusable. But suddenly, all the two million troops have changed. There must be something fishy in it. We were just discussing, will it happen?"
Wouldn't it be some kind of mind control martial arts? But... what level would it be to be able to control such a large number of soldiers, even us are affected? Are there half-saints in their main camp? It seems that half-saints can't do this.
degree."
"It's drumbeat!" Nalan Tu in the corner suddenly said.
"Drum roll?" Everyone's eyes were focused on it.
Nalan Tu lowered his head and did not look at the eyes of everyone, so he would not be restrained: "You were fighting at the time, so you may not have noticed. I was observing the military deployment and the status of the strong men in the clouds from beginning to end, and noticed what happened.
Another phenomenon occurs when this anomaly occurs.
There are more than a thousand drum stands outside the four city gates. Following the instructions from the main camp area, all the war drums are beating. Starting from the echo of the drums, the situation of the soldiers begins to change, and then the drums beat rapidly.
, the soldiers were going crazy. After you all withdrew into the imperial city, the war drums stopped one after another, and the soldiers were as sluggish as if they had drained all their strength."
Everyone was quite surprised: "Can war drums control people's spirits?"
"That's right, it's the war drum!" Niya walked in from the door. Her noble and cool aura and alluring appearance suddenly added a bit of color to the slightly dim hall, and everyone's eyes flashed with surprise.
.
"Madam." Madam Dou stood up quickly and showed her respect.
She still couldn't accept that such a gorgeous beauty was occupied by Tang Yan, but Tang Yan was the village leader, and Niya might have to follow him back to Wagang Village, and she would be the wife of the village master in the future. As the deputy village master, she should do her best.
Etiquette.
Even Tang Ba stood up to show his courtesy, but the five bald heads of the Pang family shook their heads unceremoniously, sighed longly, and muttered: "What a tender cabbage, just like this... ugh...
What a bad fate..."
"Believe it or not, I will throw you out of the wall?" Tang Yan glanced at the corner with murderous eyes.
The five bald heads all pouted, lowered their heads, and continued to mutter.
"Look, I'm worried! This guy has a guilty conscience!"
"It's just such a tender cabbage and such a new flower. Alas, what a pity."
“All flowers nowadays like to be planted with cow dung?”
“Is cow dung nutritious?”
"Oh??? This point of view is profound!"
Tang Yan was filled with hatred, but there was nothing he could do with the five top quality items, so he simply turned his back and asked, "What's so special about Dazhou's war drums?"
Niya said: "We have paid attention to this problem a long time ago. Every time the war drums of the Zhou Empire are beaten ten times, more than half of the soldiers will go crazy. From the time they crossed the Mangdang River to siege the imperial city, the influence of the war drums became more and more serious.
The drums became stronger and stronger. King Zhou Ling was able to continuously create miracles of forcibly defeating the enemy and defeating many with less. These war drums played a great role.
We have tried to sneak attack on these war drums, and we have also organized several raids, and paid a very heavy price to destroy all the war drums. Denzel and the others were killed in those sneak attacks. But the day after each destruction
, a new war drum will be set up, and a strange scene will appear again."
"It's been four years in a row and you still haven't found the reason?"
"There is a strong possibility - scalp bulge!"
"Scalp bulging?!" Tang Ba and others looked at each other, but Tang Yan's expression changed slightly.
Niya said: "You should still remember that when the Taiwu mining area collapsed, the mysterious ancient city, the golden ancient war halberd, the wooden ox, and the scalp drum appeared in the underground world, which together created a storm of destruction. The melee in the Leiyun Mountains also had mysterious elements.
The sound of the drum summoned countless dead bodies. Later, it was said that the three treasures were divided and scraped, among which the scalp drum was controlled by five fierce swords."
The scalp is in the hands of King Zhou Ling?
Tang Yan remembered that there was a great chaos at that time, but he was weak and only ran for his life. He did not understand deeply and did not know the specific process. "You didn't think of a way to destroy that thing?"
"If it were so easy to destroy, we would have taken action long ago. The half-saint ancestor of the royal family was surrounded by designs because of robbing it, and almost died. King Zhou Ling guarded the scalp drum very closely and always stayed in the main camp. He
Normally he would not leave there, and the strongest one among the five evil swords, that is, the strong man who seriously injured Dugu Xin, would basically stay there and wait."
"Are you sure it's a bulging scalp?" Tang Yan asked.
"It's basically certain."
Tang Yan fell silent. The Scalp Drum was a dangerous thing from thousands of years ago. It can be understood that it can control an army of more than two million people. It cannot be destroyed casually. But now the problem is serious. How can the breakout in five days overcome this problem? Scalp Drum.
As soon as the drum sounded, the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty went berserk again. The Huben cavalry and other troops could only barely protect themselves. How could they protect Delos's two thousand 'hopes'?
If another accident occurs, even the tiger and horse cavalry will have to be buried with him.
"What guarantee did you make to the royal family?" Nalan Tu suddenly asked Tang Yan.
"Take away two thousand people."
Tang Ba and others all frowned: "Young Master, now is not the time to show kindness. It is difficult to even protect the people of the Rao family. How can we guarantee the safety of two thousand people."
Tang Yan glanced at Niya and hesitated: "There is nothing we can do about it. If we want to leave here, we definitely can't rely on our own strength. I also have to try my best to ensure that Su Li and the others will not sacrifice their lives, so someone has to take care of me."
We...um...be cannon fodder."
Niya frowned slightly and looked at Tang Yan, but didn't say much.
She is also a smart woman. She plays tricks and calculations when running the mine. After some questioning in the main hall, she understood Tang Yan's situation and difficulties and had a thorough understanding of the current situation.
The demise of Delos cannot be prevented. The people in the imperial city must either surrender or fight to the death. With the strong character of the emperor, it can be basically concluded that he will fight to the end and coexist with the imperial city. It can be said that death has become a foregone conclusion. If it were not for Tang
When Yan came over, Delos could only choose more than a hundred people to "hope", and the possibility of escaping was almost zero. Tang Yan was able to guarantee that he would take away two thousand people, which was actually a big surprise.
However, the situation in the imperial city was in danger. If Tang Yan wanted to leave successfully, he had to be restrained by someone, that is to say...cannon fodder. The remaining strength of the entire empire was used as cannon fodder in exchange for the hope of survival of two thousand of their people.
A solution that offers the best of both worlds, but also a very cruel price exchange.
"The royal family is willing to give us a chance? Don't wait until we rush out, and then they will treat us as cannon fodder and take the opportunity to escape." Dou Niang is cautious and has to think about the worst.
Tang Badao: "Mother Dou is concerned that King Zhou Ling is eager to destroy Delos, but he will not let you go, young master. Once a war breaks out between the two directions, who can guarantee which one King Zhou Ling will abandon?"
"The key is to consider the personnel allocation of these two thousand people. They must be the hope of each major family, the people they love and value, and the people who must leave alive. In this way, the major families will fight to contain them, as long as they
What they did was crazy enough, so King Zhou Ling had to pay more attention to them. If we speed up the advance here, we should be able to avoid the danger of being surrounded.
The specific action plan must be discussed with the royal family. Issues of 'degree' and 'time' must be thoroughly discussed. You don't need to worry about the royal family's attitude. What needs to be solved urgently now is how to break through the encirclement and make a big head.
The impact is minimized.”
Everyone frowned and fell silent, thinking hard about the solution. Niya didn't say anything. If they could solve the problem of scalp swelling, they would have solved it long ago. Why wait until now? Play a sneak attack? It's impossible. Simply sneak in.
This is a huge problem, and once the scalp drum is stolen or damaged, it will inevitably arouse vigilance. Then...how will the person escape?
While they were meditating secretly, some undetectable spatial ripples suddenly appeared on the beams of the palace, and a big round head just appeared out of thin air. With a turn of eyes, they were alert first, then searching, and soon they were in front of them.
As soon as he lit up, he stared at Tang Yan: "Brother? What are you doing?"
