Chapter 494 494: Killing Yama with a Hundred Thousand Banners (Part 2 9) [Ask for monthly votes]
Shiwu Xungui may have never dreamed that they would be in Shiwu’s most important political affairs when Shiwu was at its peak In the center, where they had the greatest sense of security, the door was kicked open by the enemy. Where does the enemy belong? When to infiltrate?
They know nothing.
Some unlucky people even had no chance to think about these issues, and were killed by a swarm of enemies.
The fire jumped and the screams reached the sky.
Xu Quan was the strongest among them all, and all the brave warriors with slightly higher strength were left to him to deal with and contain, while Bai Su led his troops to kill several types of people - tall and burly people, wearing underwear made of silk and satin The one who succeeds is the one who is weaker than a man!
Whenever you encounter him, kill him if you can!
Other women and children who are weak can be let off as appropriate.
And this was formulated by Bai Su before taking action.
Lin Feng is young and lacks experience. Although he can see some skills, he still has something to puzzle about: [This... tall and burly man, most of whom are brave warriors, this surprise attack is In order to severely defeat the noble officials of Shiwu, we should fight quickly...】
There are also brave warriors around the noble officials to protect them. Although their strength is not very high, they can still deal with ordinary soldiers without any problem. Considering that the opportunity is fleeting, shouldn't we deal with as many suspected targets as possible in the limited time?
Tonight's operation might be more difficult than she expected, so Lin Feng was mentally prepared to never return.
【Not so. 】
Bai Su has been traveling in the world for many years, and her considerations are as comprehensive as those of Lin Feng. She said: [Your considerations are not unreasonable, but a tall body cannot be raised by corn and wheat rice, and meat and white eggs are even more important. Indispensable. Even a young man serving in a high-ranking official's family cannot eat a lot of meat and fish every day, and eat several eggs a day. Especially Shiwu, a place that eats people...]
Lin Feng nodded when he heard this: [I have learned a lesson. 】
Using skin-friendly and precious silk and satin to make obscene clothes requires either wealth or wealth, which is not a condition that ordinary people can have. Men with weak crowns and above are not allowed to stay, which is also a way to screen out the noble and high-ranking officials. After several comprehensive considerations, it is indeed much more thoughtful than Lin Feng's original idea.
Xu Quan rarely interrupted.
[Let me say it first, I am not asking this out of indiscriminate violence - why should women and children be spared? It's okay for women and children. The status of senior women in Shiwu is much higher than that in Guannei, but no matter how high they are, they are not allowed to take the leading role, but their children...]
Xu Quan: [Even if they are children, they are after high-ranking officials. , the tribal forces behind them will support them and support them while they are still there. There will still be serious troubles in the future... If one thing doesn't bother the two masters, why not take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate the problem? 】
Bai Su said lightly: [Because of time. 】
Xu Quan wiped his nose: [It is true, we don’t have much time, and I don’t know how long sir, they can fight for it...]
[Wrong, I mean these young wolves want to grow up to an age where they can be independent. , it takes time. This time is enough for us to grow our power. Today's sneak attack is a trick, why can't we send troops directly into Shiwu King's capital tomorrow? Therefore, there is nothing to worry about. 】
The reason why hidden dangers are hidden dangers is because the person being threatened is not strong enough and is negligent and gives others a chance.
If this trip is successful, we can buy at least five to ten years. By then - the lord will no longer be the lord of today, and Shiwu will not be the Shiwu of today! Xu Quan was choked by Bai Su's revelation and wondered where her confidence came from.
Did the lord give it to me?
Xu Quan said: "Okay, just follow what you said." 】
Listen to others’ advice and eat enough. The cousin always said that he was not very smart and Bai Su had more experience in the world than him, so he listened to her.
I thought this trip was extremely dangerous, but the result——
Unexpectedly, it went smoothly.
This area in the inner city is the focus of Gu Chi's care. Xu Quan and others move very smoothly. Occasionally they encounter big obstacles and can get through them without any danger, or they have a wonderful literary style to help relieve the pressure. , the battle losses were much less than expected.
Of course, the results were much more fruitful than expected.
Xu Quan secretly admired - indeed, an excellent literary scholar can indeed save a lot of trouble.
What’s more, there are still three of them.
He was a little moved when he looked at the Lingde girl.
If such a good literati seedling can dig into his own fence, wouldn’t he be bound by the five virtues of a general?
People like Shiwu are not stupid, and they will not stay where they are and line up to go to Huangquan Road. After experiencing the initial fear, they organized their men and began to break out. Xu Quan is short of soldiers and horses, so as long as he can break through, he has an 80% chance of escaping.
Then, they made the right bet, and after paying a heavy price, they finally led the remaining soldiers to retreat safely and saved their lives.
But they also made a wrong bet -
The target of Xu Quan and others is not just them.
There is also Shiwu Treasury!
You need to know that Shiwu is rich in minerals, especially gold, silver, copper and iron. These are the magic weapons they use to do business and bribe people in the customs. They have also used them to cultivate a group of elites over the years. Otherwise, how could Shiwu have risen so quickly?
The vault stores a large amount of wealth all year round.
Xu Quan and the others don’t need copper or iron.
The most important thing is gold and silver jewelry!
"I have a question..."
In the entire Shiwu inner city, the largest concentration of troops was near the treasury. However, these soldiers and horses were mobilized away from the mountain when the earth dragon turned over. In addition, something happened to the noble and high-ranking officials, so they had no choice but to mobilize troops to support them, but they were reduced to pieces. They were defeated one by one by Xu Quan and others, and many remaining soldiers were killed on the way. It was a smooth journey straight to the treasury gate.
Treasury, treasury, worthy of its name!
Boxes of neatly stacked gold bricks and silver nuggets made Xu Quan, the son of the Tianhai Xu family, salivate...
"What do you ask?"
Bai Su is quite calm.
It’s not that she is well-informed and treats money like dirt, but her early experiences have made her indifferent to gold and silver.
Xu Quan carried one in each hand. He wished he could grow three heads and six arms, and he also hated why the brave warrior was no longer stronger!
He asked: "Sir, why do they know where the Shiwu Treasury is and how to get there? Isn't this a secret?"
He had been holding back this question for a long time.
The earth dragon turned over and collapsed the hole dug in advance.
Only one path remained, leading from the treasury to the outside of the city.
Bai Su: "..."
She couldn't answer this question either.
But—
“If you have the strength to speak, just move more.”
Throwing the treasury boxes into the hole one by one.
This hole was dug extremely deep, and there were more than a hundred people lurking underneath. They did not go to the battlefield, but were always waiting below, in order to transfer this batch of gold and silver treasures as quickly as possible and in the least time. Movements in Shiwu King's capital will alarm nearby tribes.
Once these tribes send troops for reinforcements, they will be taken advantage of by the enemy, so - they must race against time.
As dawn approaches, tribal reinforcements arrive after receiving the news.
From a distance, I saw a huge hole in the towering wall of the royal capital.
It was as if someone had used violence to destroy it from the inside out.
There is still a violent and unfamiliar martial spirit left on the edge.
The air is filled with a burning smell.
The inner city of the royal capital is in ruins, with occasional unburned flames swaying quietly and smoking loosely.
Where is the shadow of the enemy?
Ordinary people in the capital city suffered little damage, mostly burns. Only a few were unlucky enough to die and their property was burned to the ground. The core area where noble and high-ranking officials were concentrated was completely reduced to ruins, and charred corpses could be seen everywhere, which was shocking!
When the person in charge of the troops and horses who came to support saw this scene, his legs suddenly became weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
It’s over——
Everything is over! This is the only thought left in my mind.
If the king returns home victorious and sees that the royal capital he spent huge sums of money to build has turned into this, the first thing he will do is hold them accountable for their poor protection and lack of timely support.
No matter how they explain it, I’m afraid the end will be——
When I think of that scene, my face turns pale.
Even more desperate than them are the princes responsible for guarding the royal capital this time. Although they have ambitions, they know that their age and strength are too far behind their elder brothers, so they are forced to lie down.
Life is only a few decades, isn’t it good to eat, drink and have fun?
They are good at eating, drinking and having fun.
Defense the city and mobilize troops to deal with emergencies...
They really can't do it!
The earth dragon turned around for a while, and one of the hungover princes was dug out from the ruins by his subordinates and forced to sober up. He was still in a daze. Although the other princes were not so exaggerated, they could not come up with an idea. Instead, they were frightened by the menacing Xu Quan and others, and hurriedly asked the guards to escort them to break out and escape.
One of them was particularly unlucky.
He ran too fast and too far, and bumped into dozens of remnants of soldiers along the way. He mistakenly thought they were his own troops, stepped forward to identify himself, and then - and then nothing more -
There is no reason to extrapolate the military merits that were delivered to him.
Gu Chi was speechless and choked as he watched Jiang Sheng pull the sword out of the unfortunate man's chest, complaining: "Does he still have a brain?"
Jiang Sheng said: "Empty."
Even if you have a brain, it is stuffed with straw.
"Then you want to take the head away?"
"Take it with you."
After all, he is a prince. No matter how stupid he is, he can't bear to have a father who is a king. His worth is different from ordinary Shiwu people.
Gu Chi said with a smile: "Let's go and join the Lord's Guild."
This is a great victory!
Although our own side also lost more than 200 people and more than half were injured, it was nothing compared to the enemy's losses.
He wanted to see——
What would Shiwu look like when he returned from the expedition and saw the royal capital in this state, with 60% of the high-ranking nobles?
It’s a pity that it can’t be seen.
Gu Chi couldn't help but curl his lips and show his face.
This smile diluted the malaise caused by the forced overdraft of Wenqi, and the almost pale cheeks gained a little more color.
All three parties are exhausted.
Compared with their exhausted bodies, their spirits were as high as chicken blood. Many people looked at their palms belatedly, unable to believe that they could survive from almost certain death. Survive the action. The enemy is dead, the enemy's lair was burned down by them, and the enemy's treasury was stolen by them!
As beautiful as a dream!
If you can return to the customs alive——
This bull can brag for a lifetime!
“Lord!” Gu Chi.
“Lord!” Jiang Sheng.
Sitting on the box, Shen Tang was chewing green plums with her head down, using the sour energy to keep herself calm and awake. When she heard a familiar voice, she jumped up.
“You two are back!”
Very good, no arms or legs missing!
Gu Chi asked: "Lord, how's the harvest?"
Shen Tang gave a thumbs up, pointed at the countless boxes, and said with a smile: "Good harvest! Great harvest! Let's order it!" Virtue is still sorting out, we will know soon! I want to divide the spoils... Bah, let's divide the soldiers' pension rewards first, and then-"
The boss must have rushed into the public treasury.
Used to build Longwu County and Yonggu Pass after the war.
Restore people's livelihood and economy.
Part of the budget for the future...
Part of the salary payment...
Part of it...
Shen Tang roughly arranged each transaction with his fingers. It was used for many purposes, and finally it was broken off until only a little finger was left.
Her smile suddenly became a little more obscene and proud.
Gu Chi and the two men had already seen it.
"What are your plans, lord?"
Shen Tang asked: "As the lord, I also put in a lot of effort in this battle. The fire bull array finally lost control. If I hadn't had an idea, I would have let them break through. Even if the city wall is blown up to create a way out, it may not be possible. I was able to retreat so smoothly. Because of this, I was slightly shocked by the martial energy. I should have some compensation and comfort, right?"
For fear that Gu Chi and the others would be worried about him, Shen Tang deliberately emphasized the backlash. Just "a little bit."
Gu Chi held back his laughter and asked again: "How much do you want, my lord?"
Shen Tang stretched out five fingers and the lion opened his mouth.
“Five thousand taels, gold!”
After saying that, I felt a little guilty.
After all, she is used to being poor.
The money bag only contains varying amounts of copper coins throughout the year.
This time the coin unit jumped to "two", and it was still gold. How could she not be excited, but did she want too much? Five thousand taels of gold can do many, many things...
Money will corrode people's will. She should uphold the good virtue of frugality and hard work, and talk about money.
Both Gu Chi and Jiang Sheng were speechless.
Jiang Sheng said, "You are really misleading me."
Gu Chi retorted: "Her half-master is Qi Yuanliang."
Jiang Sheng sneered: "Oh, him? A mediocre teacher misleads people."
Shen Tang: "???"
What does this have to do with Qi Yuanliang?
Before she could figure out the reason, Lin Feng's frightened scream suddenly came from behind her, and she said: "My lord, something is wrong!"
Shen Tang tensed up his nerves instantly.
Are there enemies coming? ? ?
Who? ? ?
Where? ? ?
\(￣︶￣*\))
I slept a lot during the day, and now I can’t sleep.
In order to continue the chapter, I rushed out an extra 1,500 words...
