Chapter 57 Stone Skin
Just as the two merchants were discussing the fact that they could live in a rare gamble, Liu Tao's troops had already headed towards Wangdu County. It was only less than three miles away, and it had arrived in less than two quarters of an hour.
"Minister of Wangdu County, Qin You, have met the general!" As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county town, Qin You, the county magistrate guarding here, brought the county magistrate, and a group of county officials to visit.
The county magistrate and county magistrate need to be appointed by the court, such as the chief clerk, the chief clerk and the officials of each Cao Cao, they shall be appointed by the county magistrate. Zhu Jun did not assert filial and honest as the county magistrate, which was also based on this principle.
"The county magistrate does not need to be polite. Now that the Yellow Turban thieves are in trouble, the county magistrate can stick to the capital and county, which really makes Liu admire him." Liu Tao bowed to Qin You and introduced himself.
"Liu Sima is too proud and guarding the local area for the court, which is the duty of my official." Qin You was a little flattered when he heard this. Liu Tao's meaning was very clear. He did not care about his surrender to the Yellow Turban Thief, Wangdu County was regarded as "never fell."
Of course, Liu Tao's promise is meaningless at this stage. It's just that if the court wins after the war and is liquidated, Liu Tao's war report mentions this situation, then he will not only fail, but will make contributions... Qin You became a little confused for a moment.
But the county magistrate secretly gave him a wink, and Qin You suddenly became timid. He followed the thief for a day and his whole life. He said that he had to surrender to the thief in order to protect the local people, but who would believe it? Who can prove it?!
"Liu Sima came from afar, afraid that the army would be too scarce, so why would he enter the city and rest for several days?" Qin You could only invite Liu Tao into the city according to the pre-plan. "The people in the city, knowing that the king's army is coming, are waiting."
The one who was looking forward to it was not the people, it was clearly the bandits who were ambushing you? Liu Tao laughed secretly when he heard this. He originally planned to give him a chance. Since he was so ignorant, it was not his fault for being ruthless!
Alas, I feel like I can't be a good person these days...
Just as he was about to enter the city with the army, he saw the chief clerk facing him, slightly raised his left hand, and the words "Amnesty" were vaguely written on his palm. It was very short, so he confirmed that Liu Tao saw it and took it back directly.
Unexpectedly, there were still loyal ministers in Wangdu County! Liu Tao sighed that he had already ordered the soldiers in advance to prepare for combat and take the troops as units to take action first. In street fighting, the performance of the spear will be limited, but when Puyin County came out, each spear fighter was equipped with a ring-headed knife on his waist.
Most of them are Zhuang Dian from the Zhang family. Many of them have worked as guards of caravans and have learned a few sword techniques. When the battle formation is broken, an extra ring-headed sword can be considered as a way to save lives.
The main ones are sword and shield soldiers, and the spear soldiers are united, waiting for an opportunity to kill the ambush. This is Liu Tao's military order.
At the same time, he warned all the soldiers that after entering the city, all the "people" encountered on the main road were ambushers and not be kind to women. He would rather kill the wrong one than let him go, so as not to compensate him!
This is just a routine matter. As for the military orders under Liu Tao, these soldiers under his command have been issued, and there will definitely be no extra ideas.
"The county magistrate Sheng Yi, it's hard for me to refuse, so I'll rest in the county town for a night..." Liu Tao smiled at Qin You, then looked at Guan Yu, and ordered, "The sword and shield soldiers were the first to enter the city to open the way for our army!"
"Here!" Guan Yu took the order and immediately ordered the sword and shield soldiers to leave the line and take the lead in entering the city.
"County magistrate, let's go in together?" Liu Tao signaled to Qin You.
"Well, okay..." Qin Youmuran nodded, and his sixth sense told him that things were going to be bad.
The county magistrate frowned. The Han general in front of him actually ordered the army to enter the city, which was a bit beyond his expectations. But it didn't matter. As long as Liu Tao went in, they would naturally go without returning!
So far, he also confirmed that the war soldiers under Liu Tao were afraid that there would be only one thousand or more cavalrymen, and more than seventy cavalry could not play any role in the city. The remaining one thousand people should be the baggage troops. Once the war soldiers died, the auxiliary soldiers seemed to flee in all directions. In the end, it seemed to be a caravan. The thousand horses in the team were really envious!
The team slowly entered the city, and there were many pedestrians from afar. After seeing the army, they stopped what they were doing, stood on both sides, shouting: "Welcome to the King's Army!"
It is indeed a bit of a sense of welcome. If there were no women among them, even if there were a few beautiful ladies, they would feel much more comfortable. The most failure was to let a group of Yellow Turban thieves who had a grudge against the court pretend to be passers-by. Although they were shouting happily, many people had a faint sense of hatred on their faces.
Qin You talked endlessly and kept talking to Liu Tao. The other county officials also followed suit and talked to the generals in the army, as if they were planning to attract everyone's attention, so that they should not notice the unnatural expressions of the "people".
"It's almost..." After walking about a hundred meters, Liu Tao suddenly said something after walking halfway through the main road.
"What?" The county officials were a little confused. Liu Tao suddenly said what this sentence meant.
The next moment, I saw Liu Tao raise his hand, wave forward, and shout: "Do it!"
The soldiers drew out their weapons and killed the "people" on both sides. They received instructions early and paid attention to them all the way. Sure enough, they found many clues, and now they naturally did not hesitate at all!
However, this narrow environment suddenly attacked, and both sides were actually a little unpleasant. To be on the safe side, Liu Tao silently used the earth-based novices magic "Stone Skin", and some versions were also translated as "Stone Skin Technique".
The magic effect is very simple, it consumes 10 magic points and adds a certain defense value to someone.
This value is calculated at the novice level of the earth system and is calculated according to the ‘4+1.3× Magic’. In other words, at this stage, Liu Tao can use this magic to add 9 points of defense to someone. Since he has unlocked the ‘Earth System Understanding I’, he will add 9 points of defense to the entire army.
The disadvantage is that it cannot be stacked, which means that even if he uses this magic twice, he cannot pile up the soldiers' defense to 18 points. However, magic from different systems can be stacked, but he has not learned the magic that increases defense in other systems.
When necessary, he would immediately perform the healing technique! Liu Tao silently recited in his heart. Since he unlocked the "Light Understanding I", he found that when he performed the "Healing technique", there would be no light on his hands, but the therapeutic effect still exists.
In other words, magic has become too high-end, so he can feel it, but others cannot see it or feel it. This is also good, so that the casting will become more hidden in the future.
"Liu Sima, you..." Qin You was so depressed at this moment, and he saw the sound of killing around him. Liu Tao's soldiers began to attack, and the Yellow Turban thieves who reacted also took out their weapons to fight back one after another, but he was frightened.
"It's a surprise?" Liu Tao looked at him jokingly, "I gave you a chance before entering the city!"
"But, why?" Qin You exclaimed, the conspiracy was exposed and he actually missed the last chance. These two emotions surged up, and his expression was a little distorted for a moment.
"You have a good chief clerk!" Liu Tao sighed, "Now you surrender, maybe you can still keep a whole body!"
"I'll kill you!" Qin You was about to pull out the sword from his waist, but he didn't expect that Liu Tao would have killed him first in the next second.
