Li Er followed Yang Fan's words and continued to ask: "Oh, how to lure the snake out of the hole?"
Yang Fan had thought about it before coming, and Yang Fan did not hesitate at all: "Your Majesty, the reason why these people secretly dug a tunnel to the Firearms Supervisory Station was either to make lighters, or to get firearms production drawings or steel-making methods."
"In this case, why don't we just use the plan? All we need is a letter of pardon from His Majesty, and he will clearly order the ministers to escort the produced firearms and the steel-making method to the palace in three days."
"If these people really come here for firearms or steel-making methods, they will definitely take action. Then we only need to catch all the people who come here, and then we can find out the people behind the scenes. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
After hearing Yang Fan's analysis, His Majesty Li Er nodded.
yes!
Since these people are interested in firearms or steel-making methods.
Hearing that he asked Yang Fan to bring firearms into the palace, he would definitely take action.
After all, once the firearms were forced into the palace, the tunnels dug by these people would be useless.
Thinking of this, Li Er waved his hand and said: "Then I will do as you say, I will ask Li Junxian to bring 100 hundred cavalry soldiers to cooperate with you, and you will deploy them yourself. Be sure to catch all these clowns."
"According to the decree, as long as they dare to come, I will definitely let them come and never come back." Yang Fan was overjoyed and quickly promised.
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said: "Okay, hurry up and make arrangements. I just want to see the results. If there is nothing else, then get out of here."
"No!" Yang Fan ignored Li Er's harsh words and turned around to leave.
In Yang Fan's opinion, there were dozens of Forbidden Army guards in the Firearms Prison, plus these 100 Hundred Horsemen, this kind of manpower was enough to wipe out a small tribe.
If such a manpower could not catch a few petty thieves, then the mighty soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have been in vain.
It was precisely because of Yang Fan's extreme self-confidence that he almost capsized in the gutter.
Looking at Yang Fan's back as he turned away, His Majesty Li Er's mouth moved a few times, but in the end he made no sound.
I originally wanted to discuss Yang Fan and Gao Yang's marriage together today, but it seems we have to wait until this matter is resolved!
The purpose of entering the palace was achieved, and Yang Fan hurried back to the firearms prison.
Now that the bait has been released, it depends on whether the fish dares to bite!
Although Yang Fan is not completely sure that Changsun Chong will take the bait, as long as there is a chance of more than 60%, it is worth fighting for.
What's more, how can anything in this world be guaranteed?
If something has a success rate of more than 50%, it is worth doing if the loss is not big.
If there is something that you feel you are completely sure about but you have to be careful, it means that this may be an illusion arranged by your opponent.
Yang Fan understood this truth, so after Wang San passed the news to Changsun Bin, he felt that Changsun Chong could be trapped, and he immediately started to implement the plan.
Now with the cooperation of His Majesty Li Er, Yang Fan is even more confident.
The next day, His Majesty Li Er issued an order for Yang Fan to escort the firearms into the palace. The entire Firearms Prison felt depressed as a storm was about to come.
Except for a few people who knew that a big change was about to happen in the firearms supervision department, most people thought that this was the final sprint for the production task.
Of course, some attentive people have noticed that the daytime patrols of firearms guards have been relaxed a lot in the past two days.
But no one suspected it. Everyone thought it was because the mission was about to be completed, so the guards relaxed!
Of course, these are just everyone's illusions, and they are also a enchantment formation deliberately set up by Yang Fan, which is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
In order not to alert the enemy, the 100 cavalrymen brought by Li Junxian were secretly arranged by Yang Fan to be stationed near the Daming Palace in order to better cut off the retreat.
And Yang Fan led the guards and guards in the firearms prison to observe the movements of the firearms prison at all times.
So, Yang Fan asked the guards to get enough sleep during the day and to spend all their energy at night, staring at the movements of the tunnel in the grove.
Even if a bird flies through the woods, it will be shot down by these guards who are waiting for it.
Yang Fan was very satisfied with the vigilance of these guards.
These Imperial Guards were indeed the elite of the Tang Dynasty. No wonder they were able to sweep across all the barbarians and make the hesitant Tang Dynasty stand on top of the world.
Yang Fan did nothing for the past two days and stayed in the check-in room waiting quietly, but there was no movement in the tunnel.
Yang Fan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Did Changsun Chong see something?
Opening the window of the check-in room, the night is rather gloomy today.
The night wind blew in from the window, gently blowing the curtains that blocked the light. The candles swayed in the wind, and there were faint signs of being extinguished.
Yang Fan sighed lightly, if he didn't come again today, his plan would be considered a failure.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Xi Junmai cautiously poked his head in: "Master, there is something moving in the tunnel over there in the woods!"
Hearing this, Yang Fan suddenly turned around, picked up the steel knife placed on the desk and strode out.
I looked up at the sky. There were dark clouds tonight and the wind was not strong. There were no stars in the sky. The white moonlight was also blocked by the clouds.
It really is a murderous night with dark moon and high wind!
It seems that Changsun Chong chose a good time. Such weather can indeed hide his whereabouts well, and he is well versed in the three flavors of the art of war.
As expected, this guy's stay at left guard was not in vain, but he didn't know if Changsun Chong would come in person.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said softly: "Withdraw all the hidden sentries, and all the guards will wait for orders to act in unison."
"No!" Xi Junmai ran out with a short body and as dexterously as a fox.
Not long after, there was a realistic scream.
The guards who stood guard at the secret post heard the signal to retreat, and quietly withdrew with some reluctance.
If they stay in the dark, they are sure to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy as soon as possible.
However, as special forces, although they are not the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, the concept of military orders is far beyond the reach of the army!
Yang Fan's order is God.
When all the guards gathered around Yang Fan, Li Xiaogong and other officials and craftsmen were also called over.
"County Master Wannian, what's going on?"
Li Xiaogong was woken up in the middle of the night, but when he saw Yang Fan facing a formidable enemy, he couldn't help but ask.
From the serious expression on Yang Fan's face, he could faintly see something bad.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's just some sneaky people who probably came here for the firearms. There is a secret passage in the woods over there, and someone is sneaking into the firearms prison from there!"
Seeing Yang Fan so calm, Li Xiaogong calmed down completely.
Obviously Yang Fan had already prepared, so he stared at the dark woods dozens of meters away.
Suddenly, a bird that had stayed overnight soared into the sky, and the sound of flapping its wings was extremely clear in the quiet dark night.
One after another, figures seemed to come out of hell, instantly filling the entire grove.
"Sir, those guys are here, and there are quite a few of them. Do you want to send a signal for Baiqi to support them?"
Xi Junmai clenched the Hengdao in his hand, feeling very excited.
But he did not lose his mind. After all, there were quite a few of these people, at least about a hundred of them, and they kept pouring out.
Looking at the calm Xi Junmai, Yang Fan nodded secretly.
This guy is indeed a born general, and his sensitivity to the battlefield is truly extraordinary.
However, seeing the men in black pouring out, Yang Fan swallowed hard and smiled bitterly in his heart.
In order to deal with himself, it seems that Changsun Chong is really willing to spend a lot of money!
I was really careless.
I thought Changsun Chong would just send a few dozen people in secretly, but he didn't know so many people came.
Yang Fan really regretted not letting Li Junxian be stationed here.
Now that the guards are included, there are only a few dozen people who can fight. It would be difficult to keep all of them behind.
If the opponent goes all out and loses a few guards, it will be enough to make Yang Fan feel distressed.
The training of these special forces is not easy. If it is left out here, it will be very uneconomical!
Thinking of this, Yang Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Light the torch and use the signal flare to call General Li for support."
"Here!" Xi Junmai didn't show off, and waved his hand to let people light the torch.
At the same time, the signal bomb in his hand shot out into the sky, sending out brilliant sparks in the dark night.
The sudden appearance of so many torches made the men in black jump, and they also discovered Yang Fan and the others.
After a moment of panic, the man in black quickly calmed down.
The two teams looked at each other from a distance, and the atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.
In order to delay time, Yang Fan took a few steps forward and shouted: "Who is coming? Tell me your name. How dare you break into the firearms prison without permission? Aren't you afraid of killing the nine tribes? If you kneel down and surrender, I will definitely ask your Majesty to punish you severely."
, if not, hum!”
These words were indeed very effective, and the man in black in the woods suddenly became restless.
However, this restlessness was quickly stopped by a voice.
"Don't listen to his instigation. Breaking into the firearms prison without permission is a capital crime. Surrendering will not escape death. Why not continue to complete the boss's mission, so that everyone can get a sum of money and spend the rest of their lives happily. Wealth can be found in danger. Give it to me.
Destroy them!"
Money and silk touch people's hearts, and they can also stimulate people's deepest desires.
A large group of men in black did not wait for Yang Fan's chance to speak, and howled like a pack of wolves towards Yang Fan.
These people had no cover and rushed over in a straight line, but their neat steps shook the earth, which was a bit frightening.
These people rushed out of the woods, took shape about fifty meters away from Yang Fan and the others, and then launched a direct charge.
The momentum is like thousands of troops fighting on the battlefield, not like a group of roosters, dogs and thieves.
Seeing this formation, Li Xiaogong's expression changed drastically, and he shouted: "County Lord, these are all members of the army, be careful!"
As a veteran in the army, following Li Shimin on his expeditions to the north and south, I am very familiar with this terrifying momentum that can only be generated by an army charge!
What's more, these people formed a group of three with a tacit understanding, and they had obviously been trained in battle formations.
Hearing this, Yang Fan's face changed slightly!
I originally thought that Chang Sun Chong would at most find some gangsters to steal things, but who would have thought that these people were actually well-trained soldiers?
Although he cannot be a soldier currently serving in the army, he must be a veteran who has participated in the war.
Even though these people are retired veterans, the strength of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is obvious to all.
Not only did it make the foreign barbarians frightened by the news, but the people of the Tang Dynasty also changed their expressions. The impression of invincibility had already penetrated into their hearts!
As a result, some officials and craftsmen in the Firearms Supervision Bureau suddenly looked ashen.
The few Imperial Guards standing in front with Yang Fan were also trembling.
After all, the difference in numbers between the enemy and us is too big.
"These people are all traitors and traitors, what are you afraid of? Cheer up!"
Yang Fan let out a low roar, slightly easing the pressure caused by the charge of the men in black, and then continued to encourage: "A certain man is a second-grade Duke, and he once led thousands of people to destroy Tubo. Even if these people know some military formations, so what?"
, as long as I, Yang Fan, are here, they will never come back!"
After hearing this, everyone immediately felt relieved. Yang Fan's achievements in Tubo were obvious to all, and the Imperial Guards standing in front were no longer so afraid.
Seeing that the soldiers' morale had calmed down, Yang Fan shouted to the guards: "Bring everything here and blow up these idiots for me!"
"promise!"
Xi Junmai and several guards took out several wooden boxes from the warehouse, opened the lids, and revealed the iron lumps that were more than half a foot long inside.
At this moment, more than 100 men in black also launched a brazen charge.
The heavy and dense steps and the momentum emitted by the roar of a wolf are enough to make officials and craftsmen who have never experienced the battlefield fight!
At this time, Yang Fan's palms were also sweating.
But at this time, Yang Fan couldn't retreat, couldn't be merciful, and couldn't even show a look of fear.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Fan pulled out the shiny steel knife and shouted in a deep voice: "All the forbidden troops obey the order. If anyone is timid and retreats, he will be killed. Anyone who bravely kills the enemy will be rewarded with hundreds of coins. If he unfortunately dies, his parents, wife and children will be raised by the court. Credit goes to him.
You can seal your wife as your shadow."
Don't talk about benevolence, justice and morality at this time.
The Forbidden Army is also a human being. When people face fear, only the most practical interests can support them.
As expected, the twenty or so Imperial Guards perked up after hearing this, and their slowly retreating footsteps stopped.
They all have one head and two arms, no one is afraid of whom.
If one life can bring happiness to parents, wife, children, and grandchildren, what if it means losing one's life?
Seeing that his morale was ready, Yang Fan shouted loudly: "Hold on, our support will be here in just a quarter of an hour!"
"All guards listen to my order and wait for the enemy to rush to the bombing range before they each release bombs."
That's right, it's a bomb!
It's just that it's not a modern hand grenade, but a thunderbolt filled with black powder in an iron box.
As the charge in black clothes got closer and closer, a mountain of murderous aura rushed towards his face, as if he had the feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai.
Some craftsmen and officials who had never seen blood or killing felt their mouths were dry and their legs were trembling under such power.
The Imperial Guards in the front row were a little angry when they saw so many people charging, and the morale they had just built up was instantly wiped out!
If Yang Fan hadn't been standing behind him, I might have had to turn around and run away at this time!
When you actually get to the battlefield, it doesn't mean that soldiers are not afraid of death. Courage cannot be something you just talk about.
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and the heavy and dense footsteps made his heart tremble.
Fifty meters!
Forty meters!
Thirty meters
…
"Light the fire and throw as hard as you can!" Yang Fan shouted!
You heard it right, the Thunderbolt still needs to be lit with a fuse.
Due to the limited manufacturing process, Yang Fan was unable to produce the kind of pull-tab grenade that would be used in later generations.
The guard's expression remained unchanged, he held a fire stick in one hand, lit the fuse, and threw it out in an orderly manner!
Having experienced the Tubo War, the guards did not panic at all when faced with the overwhelming charge of men in black.
Compared with the charging momentum of the 100,000 Tubo cavalry, these men in black were obviously far behind, and this momentum could not scare them.
It's a pity that Yang Fan only came with ten guards, so only ten iron lumps were thrown in the direction of the man in black at a time...
In the roaring sound!
The man in black comes into contact with the guards in the front row!
The two groups of men and horses collided together instantly, and the blood spurted up by the blades became streaks of blood.
With just one contact, most of the guards in the front row fell!
Screams rang in his ears, and Yang Fan's eyes were about to burst!
He knew he had made an unforgivable mistake!
Bangtianlei is not a grenade exchanged from the system. It takes time for the fuse to burn, and the explosion time is somewhat delayed.
Logically speaking, he should have ordered his guards to light the fuse early, and then wait until half of the fuse was burned before throwing it into the enemy's formation to stop the enemy's charge.
But now, the forward camp of the men in black has already rushed over, and the Hongtianlei exploded only behind them, so it cannot deter or block them at all.
Because of his own negligence, the guard in front died in vain, which Yang Fan could not accept!
Moreover, in a close encounter, the guards did not have time to make a second throw.
For a moment, an uncontrollable guilt and self-blame suddenly rose in Yang Fan's heart, and he became completely angry.
I saw Yang Fan holding the horizontal knife in his hand, yelling, rushing forward, and slashing out...
The three men in black facing them were startled by Yang Fan's roar, but they didn't care.
In their opinion, this kid Yang Fan has been scared out of his wits!
They calmly raised their knives, intending to hold Yang Fan's head on one of them, while the other two found an opportunity to wipe the kid's neck.
Everything went as they expected. One of them raised his knife to hold Yang Fan's knife, but there was no expected sound of the sword clashing.
There was only a soft click sound, and before the person who blocked Yang Fan's steel knife had time to scream, the person with the knife was split into two halves...
While the other two men in black were stunned, their necks were also wiped by the two guards who followed them.
In an instant, the whole scene turned into a hand-to-hand battle!
