Chapter 892: Han Tao's sneak attack, a false alarm

Guan Yang looked distressed and clasped his fists, saying, "Yes! The guard is Han Tao, son of King Lieshan. He is also a general with outstanding martial arts and good at leading troops!"

Qi Rui frowned and said, "Han Tao? Is he the King of Xiaolie Mountain Han Tao who once led 50,000 elite troops to annihilate those small countries in the northeastern border?"

"Yes, it's him!"

Lin Yun asked curiously: "Qi Rui, is this Han Tao very powerful?"

Qi Rui smiled bitterly and said, "That's right! Regent, this guy is very good at blitzkrieg and surprise attacks. I guess Guan Haiyue sent him here to fight with us in Jiangxia County and buy them some time!"

Xiang Chong Leng pondered for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think that if we want to break into the city next, it would be best to capture Han Tao alive. Maybe there will be an unexpected surprise!"

Lin Yun sighed, jumped off the dragon carriage, and walked straight towards the city gate tower of Liucheng.

Una carried the machete hanging on the side of the dragon cart on her shoulder and immediately chased after him, guarding Lin Yun like a bodyguard.

But Qi Rui and others were greatly surprised and all dismounted from their horses to stop them.

"No, Regent!"

"Your Majesty, you are the backbone of our Great Duan Dynasty. If anything happens to you, the court will be in chaos!"

Fu Linan shouted.

The Eighth Sage King also said: "Regent, the other party is now in a desperate situation and is likely to do something crazy. It is better for you not to take the risk!"

Lin Yun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter! The bamboo guns in their hands can't shoot at such a long distance. Even if they shoot with bows and arrows, they can't hurt me! I want to talk to Han Tao!"

Seeing that they couldn't stop him, everyone gave up, but they didn't dare to follow him.

Qi Rui shouted: "All troops, listen up, be ready to fight at any time, and protect the safety of the Regent!"

Afterwards, all the soldiers immediately rode their horses and pressed towards the city gate tower.

Under Zhao Ji's command, the ten sky-thunder cannons finally appeared, and the black cloth covering them was lifted.

Everyone was secretly surprised when they saw the muzzle of the gun, which was as thick as a bucket.

Qi Rui was shocked and said, "Oh my God! Isn't this an oversized bamboo gun? No wonder the Regent is so confident. With these ten cannons, they can easily blow up Liucheng!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

These ten thunder-blasting cannons are simply powerful weapons for kicking doors.

Whether the other party wants to fight or not, they must accept the reality.

And dozens of artillerymen are ready to fire.

There are two artillerymen standing in front of each cannon, one is responsible for firing and the other is responsible for adjusting the shooting range.

This set of design processes is the result of half a month of discussion and research between Zhao Ji and Yang Tiexin.

Here, Lin Yun came to the gate tower, looked up at the generals led by Han Tao, and said loudly: "Are you the son of Han Xishan, the King of Lieshan?"

Han Tao quietly grasped the bow and arrow hidden under his body, and put the arrow on the bow, sneering: "That's right! Regent, I didn't expect you to show up in person! It's worth it even if my brothers die today!"

As a general commanding troops, he has a very good judgement of the situation. Lin Yun is the soul of the Daduan Divine Dynasty and will definitely ascend the throne and become emperor in the future.

Such a person would come to Liucheng in person, which means he must have made sufficient preparations to break the city. But for Han Tao, if he could drag Lin Yun down with him before he died, he would go down in history.

Lin Yun said playfully, "This king admires your father, King Lieshan, very much. Among the thirty-six vassal kings of different surnames in the Great Duan Dynasty, his achievements and combat power are second only to King Chujiang, and he has also made great contributions to the court! Therefore, this time, this king is moved by his love for talent. As long as you open the city gate and lead the 30,000 soldiers guarding the city to submit to the Great Duan Dynasty, this king can guarantee that you will not be held accountable for the crime of treason and collusion with the enemy, and you will be conferred the title of Marquis of Lieshan. If your father passes the throne to you in the future, this king will definitely use you! How do you think?"

He was not just making empty promises to Han Tao. This time he was really attracted by his talent. A general who could lead 50,000 elite soldiers and sweep across four or five small countries was definitely a talented general. Such a person was crucial to Lin Yun's subsequent outward expansion.

Lin Yun loved Han Tao even more because he was able to maintain his original intention despite being surrounded by enemies.

Lin Yun knows very well that things that are too easy to get are all fake, and only things that are obtained through hard work are long-lasting.

Han Tao laughed in anger: "Thank you for the kindness of the Regent, but I will only serve one master in my life, and that is my Emperor Dayun! If the Regent is willing to lead his subordinates to surrender, I will definitely ask my Emperor Dayun to give you promotions, how about that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, while no one was able to react, he suddenly raised the dragon tongue bow hidden under his body, with three arrow feathers forged from fine iron on it, and shot a volley of arrows.

“Swish swish!!”

Three arrows flew out at high speed and shot straight towards Lin Yun.

Han Tao is a martial arts expert. Not only is he good in close combat, his riding and archery skills are also top-notch.

Guan Yang shouted: "Not good, protect the Regent!!"

Everyone suddenly panicked and rushed towards Lin Yun.

But the three arrows were so fast that they had no time to protect the emperor.

At the critical moment, Una stepped forward, holding a machete as tall as a person, and swept through the enemy with one blow, instantly knocking down two arrows, but the last one instantly hit Lin Yun's chest.

The huge force made it difficult for Lin Yun to stand and he almost fell to the ground.

Qi Rui, Fu Lin'an and others were all scared out of their wits when they saw Lin Yun hunching over. If Lin Yun died like this, all their previous efforts would be meaningless.

The Great Duan Dynasty will fall into civil strife, and perhaps Guan Haiyue may really have the potential to lay his hands on the Great Duan Dynasty.

On the city gate tower, Han Tao and a group of generals looked up and laughed when they saw Lin Yun being shot by an arrow.

"Haha! God help me, Han Tao, to accomplish unparalleled feats! Lin Yun, if you, the regent, had stayed in the capital, you might have lived longer, but you should never have come to Liucheng! It is destined that you will die under this general's arrow today! What else do you have to say!"

Una was furious and was about to rush forward to fight.

"You bastard! How dare you hurt my man? I'll skin you alive!"

In the distance, the ten artillerymen in charge of firing had already pulled in the alloy ropes and were ready to fire.

Finally, Lin Yun slowly straightened up, pulled off the arrow feathers made of fine iron in front of his chest and threw them on the ground.

He was wearing a bulletproof vest that could even block bullets from an AK47 assault rifle. How could he be afraid of this arrow?
The arrow feather just now pierced his chest because it was stuck by the outer layer of the official robe, and the alloy layer of the bulletproof vest did not leave even a trace.

"Oona, calm down! Your husband is not hurt!"

Una then turned around to look at him, and Fulin, An Qirui and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone then realized that the bulletproof armor developed by Lin Yun before had also saved his life at Tongshan Pass last time.
