Seeing her husband die in front of her, the woman holding the sword raised her sword and stabbed with a cry of grief and anger. But how could Ao Er, who had no restraint, be afraid of her, so he suddenly struck with a palm. Hitting the opponent's chest, a blow
Kill to death.
Just when Ao Er stretched out his palm, another gust of dark wind hit him. Ao Er, who had no time to change direction, was hit by the dart again. He just felt something go in on his back, and his body was unavoidably shaken again.
. Even after landing, my body was a little unstable.
Ao Er, who had hit two darts in a row, was now completely at a disadvantage. Shen Tuwei finally fell from the big tree and landed lightly in front of Ao Er, with a winner's smile on his face.
"Are you... Shen Tuwei?" Ao Er, who had been hit by two poison darts, was a little confused, but he still forced himself to call out the opponent's name. After all, he was so good at concealed weapons, and the blows hit him.
, there are really very few people in the world who have such ability, and Shentu is one of them.
"Haha, yes, it seems that I am somewhat famous." Shen Tuwei laughed. He was confident that Ao Er, who had been hit by two darts, would not be able to escape. Maybe he could use the righteousness of his innate skills to force out the poison, but where was he?
I will give the other party this time.
"As expected, it's you, you're so... despicable." After saying these words, Ao Er finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground with a plop, falling in front of Shen Tuwei.
...
Shile City, the capital of Dadi Kingdom.
Under the palace hall, the people below were making a fuss, which gave Yi Quxiao a headache.
Helian Lei died, and his headless body was brought back by the fire by his guard captain, and is now placed outside the main hall. The occurrence of this incident also aroused the anger of all the ministers of Dadi, who shouted to send troops.
Teach King Ji a lesson and let them know that the powerful people of Dadi cannot be insulted or bullied.
Some people shouted to send troops, while others disagreed. Among them were Gongsun Wen and Cheng Zuofu. These two people were doing business with Jizhou. They took their hero drunk and Jizhou tea to Dadi and sold them, which can be said to have made a lot of money.
Man Bo Man. If a war breaks out, how can this business be done?
How could the two of them agree with the saying that cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents? Even some ministers and dignitaries who had a lot to gain from it stood on their side and spoke out against it.
The people who clamored for sending troops were a group of people led by Helianlei's uncle Helian Family Lao He Lianjie. Seeing that Gongsun Wen and Chengzuo Fu actually opposed sending troops, they loudly rebuked in the main hall, "You villain.
, I’m just afraid that if a war breaks out, there will be no business to do and no money to earn. But have you ever thought that if King Ji can kill Lei’er today, he may kill the rest of you tomorrow. Is it possible that for a little money, in the end, he will kill Lei’er?
Are we all going to be killed? If so, what is the use of the money?”
"What do you mean a little money?" Cheng Zuofu was unhappy. That was a lot of money. If it came to talking about political affairs or even leading troops to fight, he would naturally stand aside, but when it came to doing business, he used his words.
He is not afraid of anyone.
Gongsun Wen was also very unhappy. Relying on business, the Gongsun family has been growing stronger these days, and the benefits are obvious. How could there be a war with Jizhou because of a playboy and troublemaker Helian Lei? He
He also spoke at the moment: "This time it was clearly Helian Lei who took the initiative to provoke him. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for a dignified noble to steal the gadgets of the people of Jizhou?"
"Yes, our dignitaries in Dadi have all lost their face." Chengzuo Fu quickly added.
He Lianjie, who was accused, naturally looked very ugly, but he was speechless. He could only turn around and salute Yi Quxiao and said: "Your Majesty, the Jizhou Army is getting stronger and stronger. Such a powerful neighbor has to fight.
I am in trouble. Now is the time to send troops to attack them while they are at war with Goryeo. If not, when they defeat Goryeo, they may send troops to us? How should we respond at that time?"
It should be said that He Lianlian's worries are not unnecessary. With Tang Ao's character of not tolerate foreigners, after settling Goryeo, it is probably only a matter of time before he sends troops to Beidi.
But not everyone understands Tang Ao. Didn't the powerful Dadi allow the existence of Beidi and the Xiongnu? No one now believes that Tang Ao will one day attack them. Even Yi Quxiao doesn't believe it.
of.
"Okay, this time the incident in Goryeo was not caused by King Ji. He just sent troops to assist Piao Defa. We don't need to be so nervous. I also feel very sorry for the death of Helianlei. Let's do this, the Gongsun family and
The Cheng family will each use 500,000 taels of silver to compensate the Helian family, and let's let the matter end."
Yi Quxiao waved his hand and gave the final result to this matter. In his eyes, this was just He Lianjie's covetousness that others would benefit, but he did not, and that's why the trouble started.
Both Gongsun Wen and Cheng Zuofu were a little unhappy when he was asked to come up with five hundred thousand taels of silver. However, since this was an order from the king, they had no choice but to hold their noses and accept it.
He Lianjie wanted to object, but considering that the current king was already a little impatient, and if he clamored, he might not even get the one million taels of silver, he could only agree to this decision.
In this way, not only did Helian Lei die in vain, Dadi also gave up the idea of sending troops to take advantage of the situation. When the news was passed back to Jicheng by Longya and Anxiang, Tang Ao did not change at all after hearing the news.
Just as he expected. Zeng Tong, on the other hand, looked astonished after hearing this. At this time, he remembered that when he just killed Helian Lei, he was still worried. He approached Tang Ao about this and asked if it was true.
There is a need to increase troops on the border with Beidi.
What was Tang Ao's answer at that time, oh, it seems that difficulties are like springs. If you are weak, it will be strong.
This principle is easy to understand, but what the hell is a spring? Could it be the shrapnel used in making repeating crossbows and firearms? It must be.
...
Bukhan Mountain.
The Goryeo army, which had broken through all the foreign defense lines, finally reached the city gate and began to siege the city day after day.
Former General Li Yong, who was convinced that he would become a benevolent person if he failed, had no intention of letting go. Perhaps he also realized that this was a national war and he could not retreat at all. So every time he attacked the city, he used all his strength.
He even made a promise to his soldiers that they would not seal the sword for three days after capturing Bukhan Mountain Fortress.
Bukhansanseong was a Goryeo city, and even its own castle was not spared, which proved that Li Yongqian was really anxious and used his biggest killer move.
In the face of such a generous reward, the soldiers below thought that after entering the city for three days, they could loot, burn and kill at any time without worrying about any guilt. Which of them was not a life-threatening charge, so that the city wall became more and more precarious.
In order to defend the city, Pu Defa's coalition forces suffered heavy losses every day. Not only him, but also the Quartet Army under Feng Wanli in the city also lost nearly a thousand people during this period.
"Commander Feng, I'm afraid Bukhan Mountain City won't be able to hold on much longer. There are less than 30,000 coalition forces left." Park Deok-fa, who looked regretful, cried to Feng Wanli again.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. If you persist for ten days, the situation will change. Now it's up to us to see who can persist better." Feng Wanli said with an unhurried look. He had already received the news, Your Highness.
It's time to take action, and the balance of the situation will be reversed again.
"Ten days? I'm afraid we can't hold on for ten days." Pu Defa said with some dissatisfaction, thinking that Feng Wanli was writing a bad check again.
"Really? If we can't hold on for ten days, then we will all die in the city. By the way, a certain person is the brigade commander of the Jizhou Army. Even if he is captured, the King of Korea will not dare to do anything to this general."
Seeing that Pu Defa actually wanted to threaten him, Feng Wanli could not be polite and retaliated with a sneer.
"Ah!" Park Defa's expression couldn't help but change. He didn't expect Feng Wanli to be such a rogue. At this time, he regretted listening to the other party's words and raising the flag of rebellion. But now, how can he have a choice?
Although he felt unhappy, he had to lower his head and said: "Yes, it was a slip of the tongue just now. It's only ten days. I can definitely hold on. But Brigadier Feng must remember what he just said."
Say it.”
Pu Defa became more honest, and Feng Wanli didn't want to deceive others too much, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I don't know how to lie. I will see the truth in ten days."
"Okay, I'm going to command the army. I have to defend it for ten days no matter what." He said with a resolute look, and Park Defa turned around and walked out. From that day on, the coalition forces defending the city seemed to
After being beaten to death, he regained his energy and blocked the offensive of the Goryeo army.
...
Huncheng.
The easternmost city of Xianjun is also the border between Xianjun and Goryeo.
Ten thousand Shanshan Guard cavalry are concentrated here, ready to enter the country at any time. Not only that, Ji Wang Tang Ao also appeared here in person, and with him were 6,000 tiger soldiers, 8,000 firearms battalions, and 3,000 fresh soldiers.
County soldiers and 10,000 reserve soldiers.
After receiving the information from Beidi and knowing that Beidi would not take this opportunity to send troops to Jizhou, Tang Ao could finally make a desperate move and lead the main force towards Goryeo.
Feng Wanli of Bukhan Mountain City has sent an urgent report, saying that the area is about to be unable to withstand it, and the Goryeo army's offensive is extremely fierce.
After all, Goryeo is also one of the sovereign countries around Daqian, and has a powerful force of 200,000 army and 100,000 navy. Although the navy was severely damaged a while ago, the strength of the army cannot be underestimated.
To be honest, the Park Deok-fa coalition forces in Bukhan Mountain City could hold off for such a long time, which was really beyond Tang Ao's expectation.
He had even discussed with his staff before this and was ready to give up Beihan Mountain. Now that Park Defa is fighting for his success, Tang Ao will of course help him.
