"Jinchang County Mansion? Thousand machine building? Zhao Ziliang frowned, these two pieces of information were found out by Chiba from the fake Yicheng's mind, but other than that, there was no other useful information.

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Master, please go back, it's hard work!" ”

"The poor monk retires!" After Chiba saluted, he turned around and disappeared, which made the ministers and generals feel even more chilled, and their hearts trembled, it turned out that there really was such a transcendent existence in this world, and everyone looked at Zhao Ziliang with more awe.

Zhao Ziliang looked at the ministers and generals present and said, "The Jinchang County Mansion is hundreds of miles away, what the hell is this Thousand Machine Tower?" Does anyone know? ”

The ministers and generals all looked at each other, and then Xuan 18 stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, Qianjilou is a killer organization that has risen in the Central Plains in the past ten years. As the governor of Xichang, the minister once ordered the investigation of this killer organization, but there was little progress, so far he only knew that the other party was highly hierarchical, and the assassins in the sect had undergone rigorous training, and any one of them was enough to make many people fearful! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and ordered: "This case is temporarily investigated by you, which step is counted, and when you arrive in Chang'an, it will be transferred to the Criminal Department, and Du Zongwu is responsible for fully cooperating!" ”

If it were other kings, I was afraid that they would distrust Du Zongwu, after all, if such a big thing happened, who would be relieved to continue to appoint Du Zongwu, a person who made mistakes? But Zhao Ziliang did not change to others, he believed that Du Zongwu would prove himself.

The two immediately clasped their fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said again: "Zhao Bei is now seriously injured and unconscious, Du Zongwu wants to assist the eighteenth investigation to solve the case, the Long Weijun is temporarily under the command of the deputy general Liang Zhenwu, responsible for the safety and defense of Lone's side, and the others are also returning to their own duties, and the inn will also send someone to watch, Lone doesn't want to have another accident around him, do you understand?" ”

Everyone was like, "Yes! ”

At this time, a small colonel shouted and ran over, and bowed down in the middle of the hall to report: "Qiqi Holy King, there is an enemy army in the northeast, and the number of troops cannot be known for the time being, General Erzhu is preparing to defend against the enemy, let the small colonel come to tell His Majesty that there are Weichen and three thousand guards here, even if everyone is dead, they will never let the enemy army get close to the post station!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said indifferently: "That lonely is waiting for his good news!" ”

The enemy appeared, but it seems that no military action was taken immediately, there are sentinels in the escort army who are proficient in the art of listening, through listening to the ground, it is inferred that the enemy army has about 5,000 cavalry, and can so accurately judge the approximate strength of the enemy, and can distinguish whether it is infantry or cavalry, this is not a simple technical job, in any scout camp of the Western Qin army, there is a sentry team that is proficient in the art of listening, such a sentry team has a special skill inheritance, officers are passed on to soldiers, veterans are passed on to recruits, and masters are passed on to apprentices, However, it can only be taught in the army, even if it is a father and son.

Regarding the inference of the enemy's troops, Erzhu Xianzhong immediately sent someone to report to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang did not doubt this, those who were equipped with the art of listening to the sentry were strictly trained, and their inference would not be much different, speaking of which this skill was still learned by him from the Turkic rangers, and then he began to train and train the sentry after leading the troops alone, and passed on this skill, and after several generations of exploration and study in the army, this skill was carried forward. There is already a clear theory and way of calculating it.

Zhao Ziliang was inconvenient to interfere with Erzhu Xianzhong's command, so he only sent someone to tell him, believing that he could retreat from the enemy.

After the messenger left, a small school walked in and saluted Zhao Ziliang and said, "Qiqi Holy King, there is a person in the inn who claims to be Li Yu, the king of Tang Chen, who asks to see him!" ”

"Chenwang Li Yu?" Zhao Ziliang looked puzzled.

Gu Qianzhi, who was familiar with the Li Tang royal family, stood up and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, this King Chen is twenty-six years old this year, the fifth son of the first emperor, the half-brother of the current emperor, and his mother is Liu Cairen of the first emperor."

Li Yu died two years ago, when Zhao Ziliang did not go to Chang'an to mourn, but issued a decree for the regent palace and the prime minister to support Li Hui, who was then the crown prince, as the new emperor, and this Chen King Li Yu was Li Hui's half-brother.

Zhao Ziliang groaned for a while, waved his hand, and said, "Xuan!" ”

"Yes!"

Soon, a eunuch approached the lobby with Li Yu, and when Li Yu saw Zhao Ziliang, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Li Yu, the king of the Tang Dynasty, greets the regent!" ”

"Excuse me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and asked, "Li Yu, why are you here?" ”

Li Yu immediately cried and said with a sad face: "Staying in Chang'an all day, I'm tired of playing, I heard that Xinjing is fun, so I took the palace housekeeper and a few eunuchs to prepare to go to Xinjing, how do you know that when I got here, I met the regent who was assassinated, do you say bad luck?" The thief just now put the Xueliang steel knife on my neck, you see, this is a bloody mark, and if the strength is a little heavier, I will have to go to see the first emperor. It's disgusting that the general named Du Zongwu actually ignored the life and death of me, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and forcibly ordered the soldiers to attack. Who gave him such guts? He deliberately wants to kill me, please ask the regent to make the decision for me, otherwise where is the dignity of the Tang royal family? Where is the dignity of the Tang Dynasty? ”

Li Yu accused Du Zongwu of ignoring his life and death in a very coquettish way, and looked like he would not give up if he did not kill Du Zongwu, Zhao Ziliang's face trembled a few times, how could he be in the mood to pay attention to this kind of now? I was very irritable in my heart, and I just wanted to cut people, but this guy was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't cut it casually, so he could only change the topic and ask in a deep voice: "Have you run out of Chang'an and reported to Zongzheng Temple?" ”

"Huh? This ······" Li Yu opened his mouth and couldn't speak, obviously he ran out of Chang'an privately and did not report to Zongzheng Temple.

Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "You are the prince of the clan, I can't control you alone, but you didn't report to Zongzheng Temple and ran out of Chang'an without permission, since you have met it, you can't let you do anything wrong, come here, take him back to the inn to take care of him, and take it back to Chang'an and hand it over to Zongzheng Temple when you set off!" ”

Li Yu immediately let out a scream like killing a pig: "Ah······ No, Regent, I finally ran away, I haven't had enough fun, you can't do this! ”

Li Yu was dragged back to the inn in an exaggerated scream, if it weren't for his own image, Zhao Ziliang would have scolded, fuck, what kind of people are they, at this time, what bullshit people are to make trouble.

The enemy outside finally couldn't wait any longer, and they had to start attacking.

Erzhu Xianzhong personally led the guards to the direction where the enemy came to prepare to command the enemy, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves came, and the ground shook more and more, but Erzhu Xianzhong was unmoved, in front of him was a horse pit area with a depth of four hundred steps, and the density of the horse pit was an absolute nightmare for the cavalry, not only there were horse pits, but also a large number of stumbling horses, which was enough to make the first wave of attacking enemy cavalry suffer heavy losses.

Sure enough, although nothing could be seen in the darkness, the neighing of a large number of war horses falling to the ground and the screams of the enemy after falling down kept coming from the darkness in the distance.

"Boom, boom, boom······"

"Ah······h

A large number of cavalry kept falling to the ground, constantly being trampled by the people behind, accompanied by a large number of screams, which was more cruel and terrible than real knife and gun fighting.

After suffering a large number of losses, the enemy paved a smooth road with human lives and horse corpses, and when the enemy cavalry was about to rush closer, Erzhu Xianzhong immediately ordered: "Ignite!" ”

"Yes!"

A platoon of guards stepped forward and shot their bows into the darkness ahead, shooting all rockets, and after the first wave of rockets landed, "boom, boom, boom······" The rockets lit up the pyre and horse manure heaps in front of the camp, which lit up the front. Immediately after the second wave of rockets was fired, many more fires were ignited, and a large number of fires illuminated the entire front of the camp, and the enemy cavalry who were rushing towards this kind of rush could not be seen in an instant.

Erzhu Xianzhong showed a cruel expression on his face, raised his hand and shouted: "The crossbow team shoots flat in front, and the bow and crossbow are thrown in the back, ready to release arrows!" ”

"Whoosh ······" An overwhelming array of arrows flew into the night sky.

"Ahh······hh Countless screams, countless screams of war horses came out, and human corpses and horse corpses kept falling on the sand and could not get up again.

After suffering extremely heavy losses, the enemy general finally realized that Erzhu Xianzhong had been completely well prepared, and he was afraid that his subordinates would only be killed in vain by attacking in this way, so he gave the order to temporarily retreat.

If you only use ordinary bows and arrows, it is impossible to block the cavalry's charge even if it is dense, but the key is that there are nearly 500 large-scale elite repeaters in the escort army, which is definitely a super weapon to block cavalry and infantry.

After the enemy retreated, Erzhu Xianzhong waited for about half an hour and then did not move, and then came to the post station to report the battle situation to Zhao Ziliang, he first introduced the enemy's offensive strategy and his own way of coping, and then said: "Your Majesty, through this battle, Wechen found that these enemies are all soldiers, they should all be active soldiers, but Wechen found something unusual, they lack effective cooperation, and the implementation of the tactics issued by the enemy generals below is not as strong as the army with a complete establishment!" ”

Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows and asked, "You mean that those enemies are all improvised patchwork, small groups of men from different army formations?" ”

Erzhu Xianzhong nodded and said, "Yes, only in this way can it be explained!" In addition, Weichen sent people to get some weapons and equipment on the enemy's corpses, and found that the enemy's weapons and armor were the styles of the Tang Army, which should belong to the standard equipment of the garrison! ”
