Chapter 131 Exploring the situation
"Click..."
In Panyu City, in Zhao Tuo's palace, an exquisite tea cup shattered.
Zhao Tuo put his hands on his hips and was furious, pointing at the noses of the ministers and scolding them!
"Trash, they are all trash! Didn't you say that boy only brought three thousand people with him? How could he easily break through the Nanhai County Pass? Are all those twenty thousand people dead?"
By noon, the news of Xiao Zhengtai's attack on Nanhai County had reached Zhao Tuo's ears.
Immediately, he called all his ministers together to discuss countermeasures!
All the ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly, not daring to breathe!
In the end, the Prime Minister, who was the leader of hundreds of officials, took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, we don't know the specific situation. It is said that it is difficult for three thousand of them to pass through the miasma forest and reach the pass of Nanhai County. How come they can't do it in such a short time?"
Break through the Nanhai County Pass within the time limit!"
"Right now, there are rumors in the city that young master Ying Zheng is the apprentice of a god and can attract thunder from the sky!"
Another minister also bravely said.
But he didn’t even dare to say the second half of the sentence to death!
If he said it, Zhao Tuo would have to order someone to behead him on the spot!
"Call the thunder from the sky? What kind of thunder from the sky?"
Zhao Tuo was confused.
"We don't know the details, we just heard what the people in the city said!"
The ministers all shrank their necks and were submissive.
"No wonder they dare to come to Lingnan with only 3,000 people. It turns out they have someone to rely on!"
Even Zhao Tuo believed what Xiao Zhengtai had made up, and half of his previous confidence suddenly disappeared.
Who would have thought that three thousand people had already broken through his two lines of defense and headed straight for Panyu City!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. We have 40,000 elite soldiers in Panyu City, but they only have 3,000. Even if they can draw some thunder, they will never be able to hit the city!"
General Deng He wore a mighty armor and was very confident in his soldiers.
"Okay, okay, the general is still more powerful than me!"
With his words, Zhao Tuo was comforted a lot.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are at least 50,000 strong men in our city. When the time comes, the whole country will be armed, and the total will be at least 90,000. Are you afraid that they will not be able to reach 3,000?"
The Prime Minister bowed his hand with great confidence.
"Yes, yes, close the city gate and stay within the city. Even if they have any thunder, it will be useless...!"
Zhao Tuo nodded in agreement and continued to issue orders, "Send additional archers to the city wall and shoot when they see the enemy. Don't be soft!"
"yes!"
A man who looked like a general went to do it immediately.
In just a moment, the little eunuch hurriedly ran to the court to report, "It's not good, your Majesty... Your Majesty, the enemy troops have already arrived at the city!"
"What? It came so fast...?"
Zhao Tuo suddenly stood up from the couch, "From the Nanhai County pass to here, we have to pass through several miasma forests. Why are they not poisoned?"
"This...slave doesn't know!"
"No! I have to go and have a look!"
The police had already arrived at the door of his house, and Zhao Tuo really couldn't sit still.
"Your Majesty, no, the city wall is the most dangerous place now!"
"Yes, your Majesty is our king, and we must not put ourselves in danger!"
The two veterans gave their earnest advice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go check it out!"
Deng He took the initiative to ask for help.
In fact, many generals have come to the city wall to command generals, but Zhao Tuo is still worried, so he has to go in person!
"good!"
Zhao Tuo nodded.
Deng He rode his horse out of the palace and soon arrived at the wall of Panyu City!
Looking down from a high position to check the current situation, he was immediately shocked!
"Didn't you say they only have three thousand people? Why are there so many down there?"
Three miles away from the city wall, there was a dark mass of people, all wearing armor and full of energy.
The leader is a child, wearing black gold armor and holding a spear, which is very majestic!
"General...General, those people seem...as if they are us!"
A general said hesitantly.
"What?"
Deng He rubbed his eyes and looked far away.
It really is!
Among the enemy troops on the opposite side, they seem to have different armors. Those at the back have the same armors as the soldiers guarding the city wall now!
Obviously, that's who they are!
"How can this be?"
Deng He frowned and already had a suspicion in his mind.
Could it be that the imperial army was able to reach Panyu City so quickly? It turned out that all the soldiers in front surrendered!
I don’t know what method the young master used to instigate even Pang Mang to rebel!
Or could it be said that Pang Mang was dead and the soldiers were leaderless, so they surrendered to the young master?
"The archers are ready, we must not let them attack the city!"
Deng He immediately issued the order.
"yes!"
The archers on the wall had their bows fully drawn and ready to shoot.
On Xiaoshota's side, he was preparing the equipment in a leisurely manner!
One end of a huge log was cut into the shape of a spoon, and a big stone was weighed underneath!
"Are you all ready?"
Xiao Zhengtai asked with a smile.
"Everything is ready!"
Han Xin nodded and placed the three buds bundled together into a large wooden spoon.
"ignition!"
"Bah..."
The sound of the fuse being lit sounded. Xiao Shota rolled up his sleeves and suddenly jumped to the other end of the log.
"call out……"
The earth buds in the spoon immediately rose into the air and flew towards the city wall.
This is a makeshift projector built by Ko Shota.
I don’t have a gang gun yet, so I can only use this thing instead for the time being!
"What the hell are these people doing?"
"General, it seems like something is flying towards the east?"
Deng He, who was standing on the city wall, was wondering. Another general pointed at Di Lei flying over and said doubtfully.
"boom……"
Just when they were puzzled, the ground bud fell on the wall not far away with great accuracy, making a loud noise.
A large hole was blown out of the originally strong city wall, causing the entire city wall to shake.
The green bricks around Deng He and others were also shaken and fell a lot, and the two of them helped each other to avoid falling!
"What is this?"
Deng He staggered twice and looked at the young lady in the distance with a confused expression.
I don’t know if it was an illusion or something, but he seemed to see the smiling face of the leading child!
"Is this the thunder from folklore?"
The generals around him looked terrified.
It is estimated that only the sky thunder has such power!
The arrow feathers and the like they just prepared are nothing compared to the thunder just now, and they are not enough to see!
"Load!"
Koshota gave the order again.
Han Xin and his team put the prepared buds on the big spoon again!
"No! I have to go back and report to the king!"
Seeing the opponent reloading the flying objects, Deng He's expression tightened and he hurriedly ran under the city wall.
Chapter completed!
