Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 123 Qieyu Kunwu
"Ding ding ding..."

While holding the torch, Tian Hao listened to the sound of countless arrows being shot at his body. At the same time, he put his shield in front of him and covered the oil lamp, so as not to be extinguished by those arrows.

This is a secret place for Ji Wuye to practice in seclusion and store treasures and medicines. In addition to the guards outside, there are also many traps inside.

Since South Korea is famous for its powerful bows and crossbows, the organs here will naturally focus on crossbows.

Fortunately, the quality of the black dragon battle armor is so high that it can be carried down hard, otherwise it would have been shot through and shattered if it was replaced with ordinary armor.

After resisting so many arrows, Tian Hao just reached the depths of the secret passage, where there is a fork leading to both sides.

"Go to the right first!"

After looking both ways, Tian Hao walked to the right first and finally found a thick stone door.

"Password door?"

Looking at the bronze wheel axle beside him, Tian Hao was a little confused. Is it so advanced?

Immediately, he thought of the six-way Jiazi lock of the Yinyang family in the future. Although this one is not as complicated and advanced as the Yinyang family, it is obviously a coded door.

This world and era are indeed very unfair!
"Can it be opened?"

Turning to look at Master Cheap, Tian Hao had no idea what to do with this thing. He could only wait and see if the Six-Fingered Black Man could handle it.

"Moban can crack it."

The answer was not what the question asked, and the six-fingered black man had nothing to do with this thing.

Although he is a powerful figure in the Mohist family, he is not very accomplished in the art of mechanism. It is not impossible to solve such a complicated mechanism, but it will take a long time.

"It can only be broken open with force. Master, please see if there is an alarm device behind the mechanism. Don't let people outside find it."

Tian Hao got out of the way, but this time he could only let the Black Man with Six Fingers come.

Without saying anything else, the six-fingered black man stepped forward and pressed his palm on the bronze shaft. He extended his inner energy and conducted a rough exploration, and soon discovered a chain connected to the outside world.

Calculate the position, hold the ink eyebrow and poke it in, destroy the internal structure, and use this to lock the chain to death.

After solving the mechanism connecting this side with the outside world, Six Fingers Heixia just changed into the Yingying Sword, and chopped the thick and hard stone gate with sword energy.

Although the material of this stone door is very hard, he is a strong man in the heavenly realm after all. Even if his sword energy is not good at sharpness, it is not difficult to cut it open.

Tian Hao went in with the shield on his head, found no other mechanism inside, found a few oil lamps to light up, and found that it was a training room, with many grids on the surrounding walls, and some of the grids were placed with medicine bottles.

Without much delay, Tian Hao first asked his master to confirm that there were no other mechanisms on the grids. Then Tian Hao stepped forward to remove the medicine bottles, carved the names of the medicines written on the grids onto the bottles with the tip of a sword, and then put in the medicine bottles he had already read. Inside the prepared sack.

The Six-fingered Black Man walked towards the wall where many bamboo slips were stored, and read and wrote down all the contents on the bamboo slips.

After all, Ji Wuye is a great general of a country, and the things that can be collected by him are not ordinary things. It might as well be written down now as the foundation of the Mohist family.

Of course, he didn't forget to smash it into pieces after reading it, not wanting to be left with someone like Ji Wuye again.

The two quickly ransacked the secret room, and even Tian Hao knocked on the secret room to make sure there were no hidden compartments before leaving.

Go to the secret room where the other passage is located, and open it with the same method. There are many treasures stored in it, most of which are weapons, at least they are top-notch swords, and there is even a famous sword.

"Master, do you know this sword?"

Tian Hao, who had tied up all the weapons here and put the treasures into sacks, asked curiously.

Six Fingers Heixia has been looking at this sword, and obviously recognizes it.

"Lie Zi Tang Wen said that King Mu of Zhou conquered Xirong, and Xirong presented Kunwu's sword and Huohuan's cloth, which were used to cut jade like mud."

Six-fingered Heixia said a record while picking up the sword.

This is the legendary Kunwu sword, known for its sharpness, it can easily cut precious jade, even diamond jade can be cut, it is a top-grade famous sword, not inferior to my own Momei.

"The Kunwu Sword has always been collected by Dazhou and has never been exposed to the public. I'm afraid Ji Wuye's identity is not simple."

Reminiscent of Ji Wuye's surname, Six Fingers Heixia guessed that it must be related to Da Zhou.

You must know that the royal family of Zhou has the surname of Ji, and Ji Wuye is also surnamed Ji. There are some ancient books in the secret room before, which are definitely not what Ji Wuye himself is qualified to collect. Obviously, it has an extraordinary inheritance and origin.

"We have to go."

Tian Hao has no interest in Ji Wuye's identity and origin. Now that he has the things and it is almost dawn, he must leave as soon as possible.

Moreover, these weapons had to be sunk into the lake in Lenggong. These weapons weighed a thousand catties. Even if he could carry them, it would be difficult for him to take them for a long distance. It is the best choice to pick people up.

"You have to leave quickly."

The six-fingered black man did not hesitate, hung the Kunwu sword on his waist, reached for a sack full of medicine bottles and treasures, and walked in front. Tian Hao followed behind carrying many tied weapons.

The two left the General's Mansion along the original route and immediately sank the weapons into the bottom of Lenggong Lake.

On the other side, Ji Wuye, who was in the palace, didn't know that his home had been stolen, and was discussing with King Han and other ministers about the [-] Yue cavalry who invaded the hinterland of South Korea.

There is no way, although they only have 3000 people, they are also cavalry. Currently, except for the [-] cavalry stationed on the border of Chu and Qin, there are no other cavalry in South Korea at all.

It is unrealistic to send infantry to pursue them. With the speed difference between cavalry and infantry, they will not be able to catch the enemy.

As for sending experts to pursue them, according to the information obtained, they were not only wearing Korean armor, but also equipped with crossbows, several of which were mounted on a horse.

Facing [-] cavalrymen each with several powerful crossbows, they would be shot into a hornet's nest even if they went up to the Heavenly Realm.

Therefore, they could only defend passively and wait for the [-] hundred Vietnamese cavalry to attack.

"Report!"

"Report, Your Majesty, the [-] Yue cavalry recruited thousands of wooden carts in Yuncheng yesterday, and drove them towards Xinzheng."

While the ministers were discussing, a soldier quickly rushed in to report the latest information.

"carriage?"

Everyone wondered, what are those Baiyue cavalry doing with the carriage?
"not good!"

Ji Wuye seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly ran to the map spread out on the table to observe, and his eyes quickly locked on a location.

"What did Ji Aiqing see?"

Han Wangran asked, and everyone looked at Ji Wuye.

Among the people present, Ji Wuye was a serious general, and had fought against the Chu army before. Although the victory was a bit strange, he had indeed been on the battlefield.

"General Ji means that their target is not Xinzheng, but the royal gardens?"

He followed Ji Wuye's gaze with open eyes and made some guesses.

"Xinzheng City has enough defensive equipment, including crossbows and trebuchets, and there are [-] troops stationed there. It is impossible to defeat the [-] cavalry alone.

Now they are pretending to be our army and recruiting a large number of wooden carts, which must be for moving things. There is nothing they can transport here in Xinzheng, but just along this road is the royal garden, which is specially used by our country to cultivate crossbows and arrows. There must be a lot of supplies stored in the place with the handle of the gun, and they focused on this place. "

With a gloomy face, Ji Wuye revealed his guess.

He had been wondering what the plan of the three thousand cavalry was before. After all, there were not many people in South Korea who were worthy of such a risk, but now he finally understood.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to order the [-] troops from the southern battalion to leave the camp, block all the passages leading to Baiyue, and give them a chance to catch the turtle."

Thinking of this, Ji Wuye knelt down on one knee and begged Han Wangran for his order.

Those 3000 people must be blocked, otherwise that batch of supplies will not only greatly increase Baiyue's combat power, but also make their South Korea a laughing stock in the world, and increase the thoughts of some people.

Maybe before they can capture Baiyue, Qin and Chu will have to send troops to fight, and even Wei may get involved.

Han An and the others also thought of this, their faces were very ugly, and they looked at Han Wangran one after another.

"Wait a minute, General Ji. Most of the grain and grass collected have been transported to the southern camp. If the troops in the camp are transferred out, what will happen to the grain and grass?"

He opened his mouth to object. He was responsible for the collection and operation of grain and grass, and had already transferred most of the grain and grass needed.

This is no better than the little food and grass that the southern camp had saved last time. It was made up of food and grass from all over the country. Once it was burned again, it would be impossible to raise it again this year, let alone in a short time.

"The general didn't say that he would transfer all his troops out. He would leave [-] troops to continue to garrison. With [-] troops to cooperate with the camp's many facilities, even if a [-] army went to fight, it would be difficult to break through. According to the information obtained by this general, [-] The main force of Vietnam is still in the south and has not gone north."

Ji Wuye squinted his eyes and explained.

After suffering the loss last time, he naturally attached great importance to that batch of grain and grass.

He opened his mouth and said nothing, but his worries remained, and he couldn't figure out what the Baiyue people would do next.

It is true that Baiyue's reaction this year was too abnormal. First, he plotted to kill the left and right Sima, and then destroyed their [-]-strong army. They even showed up with surprise troops and burned the food and grass in the southern camp.

Even Ji Wuye seemed to have suffered a big loss in that battle, and now he is not sure what Baiyue's plan is.

But they absolutely can't let Baiyue take back this batch of materials, otherwise it will not only be a shameful thing, but the war against Baiyue will be even more difficult to fight in the future.

"The widow agrees!"

Han Wangran thought for a while, and finally agreed to Ji Wuye's proposal.

"Father, containment alone is definitely not enough. I propose that the horses in the city be gathered together and handed over to the White Armored Army to pursue them from the rear to prevent the enemy from leaping over the wall and wandering around doing evil in our country."

Han An suddenly stood up and suggested.

"That's it!"

Nodding in agreement, Han Wangran was very pleased that his son had such an idea.

The dignitaries in the city all have horse-drawn carriages on their behalf, and there are not five thousand horses, but three thousand horses.

Although those horses were not war horses, they were all bred to be fat and strong, so it was not difficult for the soldiers to ride on the road.

After the agreement, everyone took action. Ji Wuye immediately issued an order to Mo Ya after leaving the palace.

"Send people over there to stop them in advance, and use all available methods at all costs, especially the fire attack, and make it more concealed."

Ji Wuye ordered in a low voice. He knew that water and fire were ruthless. If he set a fire in South Korea, once the fire got out of control, it would inevitably cause unimaginable disasters and even burn down large areas of fertile land.

But as long as you do it in a concealed manner so that no one sees it, you can just pass the blame to Baiyue afterwards.

As for the losses and casualties caused by this, what does Ji Wuye have to do with him?

There is no need to care about the life and death of those mud-legged people, the most important thing is to intercept the three thousand cavalrymen.

"Your subordinate will send someone there."

Mo Crow took the lead and left quickly with lightness kung fu.

The opponent is a carriage, so the speed will inevitably be slowed down a lot. It is far more difficult than simply galloping, which is enough to go around to the front.

Naturally, Han Wang didn't know about Ji Wuye's ruthless plan, but he was very angry when a new piece of information arrived soon.

Walking out of the main hall, looking at the faint flames rising in the southern night sky, his expression was extremely ugly.

Although it was only a very weak firelight and could only be seen in the dark, that was because it was too far away and its scale must be quite large.

Kaifengdi and others who followed behind were speechless, but they all understood that the entire royal garden must have been burned down, and the damage caused was inestimable.

What a bunch of lunatics!
That's right, Tianze has already ordered people to set the entire garden on fire, especially those houses, which soon ignited raging flames, extremely dazzling, even more dazzling in this dark time when dawn is about to dawn, even hundreds of miles away See, it's like a beacon tower.

Riding on horseback, Tianze turned his head and looked back at the soaring fire, then turned his eyes to the north.

Xinzheng can definitely see it!

"Reporting to Your Highness, the wooden bridge two miles ahead has been cut off. Our people are repairing it. Please send some manpower to protect it."

Suddenly, a knight rushed forward and reported the abnormality ahead to Tianze.

"Speed ​​up, be sure to repair the wooden bridge before the rear convoy arrives."

With a cold look in his eyes, Tianze gave an order, and immediately he immediately accelerated his horse forward to protect the men who were repairing the wooden bridge there.

They had expected that their opponents would send experts to rush over in advance to destroy the bridge, so they made sufficient preparations.

The wood is ready-made, and it only needs to be rebuilt.

Hundreds of people rode on horseback, and soon arrived at the bridge being repaired. Half of the people guarded the surrounding area, and half of them joined the repair team.

Everyone is a warrior, and their strength, speed, etc. are far superior to ordinary people, so repairing the wooden bridge is naturally not difficult.

Soon the long convoy from behind arrived without stopping, and crossed the river along the wooden bridge.

Because they were pulled by war horses, the speed was much faster. It didn't take long for them all to pass. Then Tianze ordered the bridge to be completely destroyed to block the pursuers from behind.

He believed that Xinzheng would definitely send pursuers, and he even guessed who the pursuers were.

Except for that army in the whole of South Korea, no one dared to face their three thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of crossbows.

What Tianze thought was right, it was the three thousand white-armored troops from Xueyi Castle who were pursuing them.

Several hours after they passed the river, the White Armored Army finally arrived, also without stopping, condensed ice spears in their hands and threw them into the river, freezing the river surface, and three thousand cavalry passed smoothly.

This is the frightening thing about the White Armored Army. Any terrain can pass through the condensed ice.

However, the difference between the two sides is hundreds of miles, and it will take a long time to catch up.

Tian Hao didn't know what happened to the white armor army chasing from the rear. He had already caught up with the advancing team with the help of hang glider, while the six-fingered black man continued to follow in secret and escort him.

Tianze, who was moving forward, glanced at Tian Hao, who ran over and jumped onto the carriage where Wushuanggui was sitting, nodded and continued to gallop.

"There is fire in front, they really used the strategy of attacking with fire."

Tian Hao, who had just taken a breath, looked at the large fire in front of him and understood that the opponent used fire attack. Just like they used fireworks to block the Korean army, the opponent also set a large number of fires in front to block and slow down their speed. .

"Cover the horse with a damp cloth."

Tianze gave an order, and the carriage slowly slowed down. The Baiyue soldiers who drove the carriage covered the horses with wet linen cloths that had been prepared early, and even put a specially made simple mask on the horse's mouth to avoid inhaling smoke.

These were all prepared by Tian Haorang. He used fire attacks to deceive the Korean army last time, so he would naturally be on guard against being deceived.

Although the opponent can set fire ahead in advance, the number of people must be small. If the scale is not big, you only need to rush over.

"It's our turn!"

Patting the Wushuang ghost next to him, Tian Hao could guess that what the other party did was definitely not just set fire to it, it happened that the road ahead was a forest, and both sides of the road were full of trees, which were good obstacles.

Sure enough, after the convoy entered the forest, the trees on both sides of the road were cut off with sword energy and dumped in the middle of the road.

Seeing this scene from a distance, Tian Hao and Wushuang Gui jumped out of the carriage at the same time and ran over quickly.

Tian Hao was faster and arrived first. He kicked a large tree trunk with a diameter of one foot to the side of the road, and then specifically cleaned up those trees with a diameter of less than one foot.

The Wushuang ghost that rushed behind was even more fierce, knocking a two-foot-diameter tree to the side of the road with one blow.

Tianze and others were not idle either. The swordsman rushed to the front and cut off all the tree trunks that fell on the road so that they could be easily lifted up from behind.

Those with good strength, like Tian Hao, specialize in targeting those thinner tree trunks, while those that are too thick can only be left to the Wushuang ghost.

This was also the main reason why Wushuang Ghost had been allowed to sit on the carriage to rest, in order to recharge his batteries and cope with this situation.

Clearing the road so quickly, the speed of the convoy behind did not slow down at all.

Of course, the thousand cavalry at the end were responsible for turning the removed trees to the center of the road again to form an obstacle.

After running out of this section of forest road, the team stopped to rest again. After all, although war horses are stronger than ordinary horses, they are still flesh and blood and need to rest.

Anyway, with the burning forest road behind them blocking them, even if there were pursuers coming, it would take some effort to pursue them.

The three thousand soldiers did not bother to rest, and took out food, grass and water to feed the war horses to help them recover their strength faster.

The grain and grass brought out this time are all high-end goods, steamed and compressed from various grains. People eat the same food as horses. Only in this way can we recover our strength faster, otherwise eating grass alone will not be enough.

"Hopefully I can get there tomorrow."

Looking at the south, Tianze can only pray that everything goes well, otherwise he will be in trouble.

He has enough strength to escape, but it is difficult to bring back the three thousand cavalry and horses. Even as a prince, he cannot bear such a heavy loss.

But this was a huge gamble in itself, and he had the awareness to face everything long before setting off.

And facing Chu and South Korea, both of which are stronger than Baiyue, how can they win if they don't hurry up?
