The sun sets in the west, the moon's shadow flows eastward, and in a blink of an eye, it's almost dark.
Niu Gaoyi walked in the middle of the team, his mouth was full of saliva and his eyes were filled with greed.
"My dear~~~Two hundred people are all in iron armor? General Ran, are your frontier troops so rich?"
He had noticed it at the beginning and had never been embarrassed to ask, but now he couldn't help it.
Ran Jingqi said, "General Niu, your armor is not bad either."
General Niu suddenly said proudly, "Hahaha, hey, compared with you, my rhinoceros armor is just trivial. This is passed down from my ancestors."
Niu Gaoyi said he was humble, but he was actually very proud. This was a rhinoceros.
Ran Jing talked eloquently, "It is rumored that rhinoceros armor can last for a hundred years, Si armor can last for two hundred years, and combined armor can last for three hundred years. General Niu, your..."
"Mine is a joint armor~!" Niu Gaoyi looked proud.
Ran Jing smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of armor Dongwang's elites use."
Since Niu Gaoyi had surrendered, he didn't have to hide anything for Dong Wang. The relationship between the two was already tense, and they were not confidants, otherwise they wouldn't have been sent to defend the city.
"The elite of the Eastern King naturally consist of a small amount of iron armor, rhinoceros armor and a large amount of cowhide armor."
Ran Jing suddenly realized that during the Yanhuang Dynasty, there were many rhinos, and almost all the elites at that time wore rhinoceros armor.
Unfortunately, as time has passed, the number of rhinos has become less and less, and they are now uncommon in many places.
Ran Jing said, "We are wearing steel armor, but today we are leading the Polu Army. If you have a chance in the future, if you can be subordinated to the Lord, according to your rank, you should be able to be assigned chain armor. Then you can Now you know what armor is."
"Chain armor? Is it the armor you're wearing, General Ran?"
"almost."
In fact, he was just curious about the style of the armor, because he had not tested it and did not know its defensive power. Once he knew the defensive power of steel armor, his eyes would probably pop out of his head.
It's just that the appearance of the steel armor makes him, a general-level person, envious. Not to mention the defensive power, the style is also very fashionable.
Niu Gaoyi wondered, "I heard in Yuntong County that the Xuanjia Army is the best among the best. I wonder why Your Majesty didn't take them with you?"
Ran Jing rolled his eyes and sneered, "The screening of the Xuanjia Army is extremely strict. Those who can join the Xuanjia Army must be at least 7 feet 8 tall, otherwise they will not even be qualified to enter."
"What, seven feet eight, this, isn't this about the same height as me? Are the selection criteria too strict?"
"Tch, this is just the beginning. This is just the first step. There will be a lot of levels in the future. Each level has a score. If the total score does not reach the standard, you will be eliminated unless you have any special talents."
Ran Jing's words made Niu Gaoyi secretly dumbfounded. To put it bluntly, in comparison, the elite of the Eastern King might not even be as good as the Polu Army, let alone the Xuanjia Army.
Not long after, Niu Gaoyi pointed to the low city in front and said, "General Ran, Sangqian County is ahead."
Ran Jing picked up the telescope and looked at it, and said, "Well, the city is not high, but it is made of rammed earth. It is not easy to attack by force."
General Niu smiled and said, "In fact, as long as we spend some soldiers, we can capture it naturally."
Ran Jing frowned and said, "General Niu must be careful. According to the tradition of our frontier army, attacking the city is not allowed until the last step. Moreover, the lives of every male of our Xia Kingdom are extremely precious."
"If there are too many casualties during the siege of the city, let alone the merits of the soldiers. In serious cases, the general who led the army will be beheaded!"
Niu Gaoyi's heart trembled. He felt that the army here was a little weird, and his behavior was strangely tight.
"Okay, we're almost there, go according to plan."
"good!"
Niu Gaoyi led the team towards Sangqian County. Ran Jing rode on the side and knocked on the carriage and said.
"Send a message later."
The operator inside the carriage said "No!"
After saying that, the operator immediately dialed the phone.
"Hey, let's go first
Head troops, General Ran has orders, you are ready. "
"Xuanjia Army in the rear, received!" The operator immediately reported the information to Gu Weiqi.
Gu Weiqi nodded and said loudly, "Everyone, hold your horses tight. When the signal arrives, you must arrive as quickly as possible."
"promise!"
The order instantly spread throughout the five hundred mysterious armored cavalry.
Niu Gaoyi led two hundred people and drove hundreds of sheep to the foot of Sangqian County.
I saw that the county seat had discovered them a long time ago and quickly closed the city gate. A general on the tower looked down and shouted.
"Who is here?"
"I am Niu Gaoyi from Judai County. Brother Li, maybe you have forgotten me."
The general upstairs squinted his eyes and leaned on the city wall to look at it carefully. After a while, he smiled.
"Ha, it turns out it's you, the old cow. Hey, the old cow takes care of you. Why are you here in my county?"
Niu Gaoyi shouted loudly, "According to my king's order, we are recruiting meat from the county to the front line."
The head on the city wall retracted instantly, and after a while, it emerged again.
"Old Niu, do you have the credentials?"
Niu Gaoyi took out a letter from his arms and waved it, "I have an edict from King Dong."
The general did not quickly open the door as expected, but instead put down a hanging basket.
Not long after, the door slowly opened.
A general came out with a few soldiers and said.
"Hahaha, Lao Niu, long time no see. If the military situation is not urgent, come to my mansion and we can talk by candlelight."
Niu Gaoyi seemed a little distant. Originally, the relationship between the two was very good, but now he was out to deceive people, as military generals.
It is a very proud thing to be able to deceive others on the battlefield.
But in terms of life, generals are generally straightforward and straightforward, knowing that they want to deceive their own people, which is always a bit uncomfortable.
Niu Gaoyi felt a little guilty and said, "Old Ma, why don't we go in first."
"Okay, let's go!"
When Lao Ma finished speaking, the carriage came to the door.
Belika suddenly raised his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes before Lao Ma could react.
"Rubbing!"
The iron sword was unsheathed.
Kicked away the soldiers beside him, put his arms around the old horse, and Su Tiedao was already on his neck.
The soldiers on the other side were all frightened by this scene. It took them a while to react, and they all tried to charge forward with their weapons in hand.
At this time, the carriage walking in the center of the city gate turned around quickly, and its huge carriage directly blocked the city gate.
Ran Jing quickly shouted to the back, "Quick, notify them quickly."
The operator in the carriage behind didn't hesitate and made a direct call.
"We've got it, hurry up and provide support."
"receive."
In just a dozen breaths, a line of dust rose from a distance.
The soldiers on the city wall were so frightened that this was not a cavalry offensive.
On the city wall, there were some soldiers who didn't know what was going on. They shouted in panic, "Quickly, close the city gate."
Ran Jing saw it and immediately gave the order.
"Everyone, raise your shields."
Because they were afraid of being found out, everyone wore small round shields.
Ran Jing was a little anxious in his heart. Support hadn't arrived yet, and it would be troublesome to shoot arrows from the top of the city, so he made a move on Belika.
The latter understood immediately, dragged the old horse outside the city wall, and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
"Your general, in my hand, don't let go of your arrows."
The soldiers on the city wall were stunned for a moment and looked down. They were all dumbfounded.
What a slap in the face, the general was captured alive.
Lao Ma felt gloomy in his heart, his face was ashen, and he stared at Niu Gaoyi with his eyes, which made Niu Gaoyi want to dig a hole in the ground and get in.
.
It wasn't that Lao Ma didn't want to run away, but the man who caught him was extremely strong. He was a man nearly eight feet tall.
In her hands, there was no resistance. One arm was like pig iron. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break it open.
Possibly sensing the hostage's struggle, Bellica spoke loudly.
"If you continue to struggle, I will kill you."
Lao Ma is not easy to mess with. There are always some strong-willed generals. This small threat will not affect him at all.
When he struggled again, he found that the arm holding him began to slowly close, and his eyes widened.
His face gradually turned purple, his eyes became bloodshot, and it gradually became difficult for him to breathe.
No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail, and the memories of his entire life flashed in his mind like a slideshow.
Just when he was about to lose consciousness, his arms suddenly relaxed.
"Cough cough cough~~!" Lao Ma couldn't help it, his face turned red and he coughed desperately. This was the closest he had ever come to death.
Despair, confusion and a hint of happiness were constantly colliding in his mind.
Bellica and Ran Jing ignored him. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people rushed in.
When the Polu troops saw the reinforcements arriving, they moved their carriages away one after another, and the cavalry rushed directly into the city.
Fortunately, there is no Wengcheng in this county, which saves a lot of effort.
After Gu Weiqi rushed in with the cavalry, all the soldiers shouted loudly.
"I am the Black Armor Army under Lord Wu An. Anyone who abandons his weapon and kneels down will not be killed!!!"
The five hundred cavalry roared in unison, and the sound instantly shocked all the defenders present.
When the first soldier dropped his Changge, all the soldiers immediately began to throw away their weapons and fell to their knees.
The cavalry quickly dismounted, and the surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded.
Many soldiers were almost dumbfounded because these people were so professional.
Not to mention three people riding on one person, each horse has a rope on it, and you can tell that this kind of thing is done frequently.
Ran Jing answered the call in the carriage and kept nodding. Not long after, he came out.
The Xuanjia Army has taken control of the defenders. Ran Jing led a kind of soldiers and found an inn with a special pattern carved on the door.
"Hey, Master Jun, this is a chaotic situation. Do you want to hit the top?"
It may be that all the restaurant owners have been recruited, and the middle-aged shopkeeper personally receives them.
Ran Jing didn't waste any time. He walked to the store and whispered, "The earthquake is high. It's a beautiful scene from the Western Mountains."
The shop owner suddenly shrank his eyes, looked around, and found that the armor of these people was completely different from the soldiers here, and his eyes suddenly widened.
These armors seemed a bit like Yuntong's. He said with great joy, "The door faces the sea, and the three rivers merge and flow for thousands of years."
