"He fell down when there was a noise?" Wang Ben heard this, as if he had heard the most ridiculous words, but these words were actually spoken by Prime Minister Zuo, so it was not easy to question him.
"What made the sound?" Ying Zheng asked angrily.
"It's something in their hands. When the sound is heard, the thing will emit smoke. It's very strange." Li Si couldn't help but look confused when he thought about the situation at that time.
"After they made a noise, another row of thieves appeared and made another noise. In this cycle, our warriors couldn't get close at all and died miserably. If Prime Minister Li hadn't reacted quickly and ordered us to retreat immediately, I'm afraid His Majesty would have seen him. No more slaves."
Zhao Gao pretended to wipe away tears and sadly took up Li Si's topic.
The two of them were very confident in what they said, but it was extremely ridiculous.
"Nonsense!" Ying Zheng said angrily, "How come we, the Qin Dynasty, have two thousand warriors and hundreds of thieves and bandits, so vulnerable? That must be your excuse."
After saying this, Li Si and Li Si were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "You are wronged! Your Majesty, it's not that we are trying to shirk the crime, but the weapons of the bandits are too terrifying and no one can stop them."
Ying Zheng calmed down his anger, and the image of Li Zhao suppressing bandits appeared in his mind, destroying all the bandits with one blow, and he showed fear for a moment and asked:
"What exactly is that thing? Is it cylindrical?"
"It looks like a cylinder but is not a cylinder. It has a thin body and a handle. After making a sound, the bandits immediately retreated and then seemed to be filling something inside."
Zhao Gao said.
"How powerful is this thing?"
"With one sound, a soldier fell."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
What is this? It fell down with a sound, and it seemed to be almost as powerful as a crossbow, but this was not a crossbow, and a crossbow made no sound.
"Can the bronze weapon block it?" Wang Ben asked.
If it is a crossbow, some capable soldiers can still block it with their weapons.
"No, there is no trace of the object this weapon attacks, it appears out of thin air."
Hurry!
Everyone gasped, their hearts trembling with fear. Created out of thin air? What a powerful weapon that is! There is currently no weapon in Da Qin that can do this.
Not even the most powerful crossbow can do it.
But the majestic master of Qin, why should he be afraid of Xiaoxiao? Even if he has such a strange weapon, he must take it down.
"Wang Ben listens to the order and orders you to personally lead the army and destroy the bandits." Ying Zheng finally gave the order.
"This" Wang Ben did not accept the order immediately. He was in a dilemma and felt very unsure. He was really shocked by such a description. He fell down with a loud sound, which was like a miracle. It was not something that a large army could fight.
Moreover, although it was a large army, it only numbered less than three thousand.
Yes, I only brought a few thousand troops with me when I went out on patrol. I lost three thousand here. I sent one thousand to pursue the assassins. There were still one thousand who went to explore the way but did not return. Some more were kept on the ship, and the remaining was less than three thousand.
The 3,000 that were sent just now were almost wiped out within two hours, and less than 3,000 were left. Can they win? If he couldn't win, he would definitely want to face the consequences.
This is the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, the first person in the country. If he is harmed here, let alone he is a sinner, and the country will be in chaos.
"What? Do you want to resist the decree?" Ying Zheng glared at Wang Ben.
Wang Ben cupped his hands and did not dare to raise his head.
"Your Majesty, no, we need to consider the long term. The escorting army here is less than three thousand."
Ying Zheng frowned when he heard this, and the others did not dare to speak and fell into silence again.
Everyone also thought about this aspect. If the army goes out and there is no one to protect the emperor, there will be trouble later. Although there are many guards around the emperor, they are less than two hundred. What use can two hundred be?
Just when everyone was at their wits' end, Li Zhao stood up and volunteered, "Your Majesty, please let me go!"
It wasn't that Li Zhao was looking for death, but he actually knew what a bandit's weapon was from the description just now. It was thin and had a handle, made noise and smoke, and killed people out of thin air. Isn't this a firecracker?
If there hadn't been the inscription on the meteorite and the peace and tranquility of Huayin, he might not have been able to guess the fire blunderbuss.
Fire guns have not yet appeared in Da Qin.
This thing is a thing of later dynasties, and it became especially prosperous after the Ming Dynasty.
He didn't need to think about it to know that the people who traveled through the Ming Dynasty must have brought the method of making firecrackers and made them. He must have recruited the thieves.
As for why they appeared in Kuaiji Mountain and set up an ambush, this is a good explanation. The people who traveled through the Ming Dynasty knew the history.
"You? Okay?" Wang Ben frowned, and the others looked at each other with different expressions.
No wonder they have such expressions.
Li Zhao was just a farmer, no, he was already a thousand-man general, but what use could a thousand-man general do? He sent out large armies twice, each time with more troops, and even three thousand-man generals were dispatched, including Prime Minister Zuo. , but what about the end? The whole army was not wiped out, and they didn't even have the ability to resist.
Li Zhao, can he do it? Although he had some ability in suppressing bandits before, the bandits in Saga Mountain were just a mob, and they could not compete with bandits with terrifying weapons.
Did he want to win with the weapons he used to defeat bandits?
Everyone looked at Li Zhao, but found that he did not have any weapons on him.
Li Si slandered: He must want to take credit, huh! If you want to claim credit, it depends on the situation. How can you claim credit when you don’t have big weapons and troops? This is courting death, haha, he likes to court death, so let him go!
Yes, Wang Ben has just stated the situation at this moment. It is impossible to send out the remaining soldiers. In other words, there are no soldiers left to fight.
When Li Zhao stepped forward, he was seeking death alone and acting forcefully. This was a brainless act.
"Okay!" Li Zhao returned to Wang Ben with confidence.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right!"
He believed in Li Zhao.
What!
When the emperor's words of approval came out, everyone's faces became even more strange, and they all thought to themselves: The emperor, such a wise person, actually approved it? Why?
"I order you to lead a hundred guards and a thousand troops. You must destroy the bandits and capture their leaders."
Everyone's hearts trembled, and the next moment, their eyes were full of pity on Li Zhao, as if they saw that the disgusting boy was going to die.
Yes, we are going to die. Let me ask, if the two thousand troops were destroyed just now, how can these one hundred guards and one thousand troops be of any use?
Weiwei, the bodyguards around the emperor, take protecting the emperor as their own duty, but they are only limited to protecting the emperor. They have no combat experience, and they are like nothing on the battlefield. They have a thousand troops! As everyone knows, I am afraid that there was no news after hearing the sound.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but I don't need a thousand troops. I can just bring a hundred guards."
ha!
Everyone was snickering in their hearts, secretly scolding Li Zhao for overestimating his abilities. One hundred guardsmen would be enough, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be enough to stuff people's teeth!
Ying Zheng looked at Li Zhao thoughtfully, with a strange light in his eyes, and asked, "Are you sure?"
"have!"
"Very good, accurate."
Everyone, especially Li Si, almost laughed out loud, but had to hold back.
confident? I’m afraid I’m sure I’ll die!
Under the different eyes of everyone, Li Zhao led a hundred guards and walked up the mountain with confidence.
hey-hey! It's not that he is entrusted with it, but that he has the capital to entrust it.
Fireguns are obsolete.
