Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 399
Some of the captives wept, and the rest followed suit.

Li Ke sighed.

The Nanzhao Kingdom is no richer than the land of Shu. Even if he became a soldier, he might not be treated well.

"Since you are not willing, I will give you two choices now."

"First, in conjunction with the registration and bookkeeping, after the Nanzhao war is settled, the land will be shared with you to cultivate."

"The harvest in the future will all depend on how hard you work."

"Secondly, go away separately, but if you are arrested and returned to serve as soldiers, and meet again on the battlefield, you may not be as lucky as today."

Li Ke said loudly, especially the second point, like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts hard.

These people are not all fools.

"We choose number one."

"Yep."

"Choose number one."

"Choose one and you can still have land to farm in the future."

"One is good. I don't choose the second. What if I am captured and die on the battlefield?"

All the prisoners whispered, everyone wanted to live a good life.

Li Ke asked people to arrange these people, and he led the army to quickly besiege Kunming Mansion.

Inside the Kunming Mansion, in the Juyi Hall.

"So what if he is the king of Shu? He's just a little boy with yellow hair."

"I really thought that after a few victories, I could be defiant."

"This time, I want to show him how powerful Nanzhao is."

The voice of the white-robed veteran on the first seat was cold.

He heard that the king of Shu sent troops to attack Qujing earlier, so he wanted to kill him in order to teach the arrogant king of Shu a lesson.

But the Kunming Mansion still needs him to sit in charge, so he has no choice but to hold back his mood.

He thought that Li Ke would be killed by Qu Gacang, but he and Luo Xingluo were both defeated by him.

That's fine, soon, he will meet the famous King of Shu, Li Ke.

"What the general said is true. Li Ke, the king of Shu, thinks so highly of himself that he dared to go straight to the Kunming mansion. This time, he will never return."

"Yes, once he comes, he can't go back."

The lieutenants responded one after another.

Only Qu Gacang and Luo Xingluo frowned, feeling uneasy.

They are well aware of Li Ke's abilities, and they also advised the guards of the Kunming Mansion not to underestimate the enemy.

However, this man is so proud of his talent that he doesn't take Li Ke and the soldiers of the king of Shu seriously.

"Report! Report to General, the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty called for formation outside the city, and they are coming."

The messenger rushed in hastily.

"What a treat."

The veteran in white robe lifted his coat and said loudly.

A group of generals surrounded him, ready to go.

Outside the city of Kunming Mansion, Chu Feng had already ordered people to call for battle at the base of the city, just waiting for a tough battle.

After a while, several generals appeared on the city wall, among them were Qu Gacang and Luo Xingluo who had been handed over to them.

"The two of you are really good at running, and you even escaped to Kunming Mansion."

"Could it be that you were scared out of your wits?"

Chu Feng was the first to sneer. It was because he was chasing them that he was lured into the dense forest.

They got lost in it, but fortunately His Royal Highness the King of Shu rescued them, otherwise he would have died in the dense forest.

Hmph, if he was a general of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, if he was trapped to death in the dense forest, wouldn't he be ridiculed by the people of the world after the word spread.

At this time, when Chu Feng saw the two people on the city wall, his teeth itched with hatred, and he just wanted to give them a confrontation.

Qu Gacang's face was extremely ugly, and he personally designed to lead Li Ke and others into the dense forest.

But they came out intact.

"Master Qu Ga, the King of Shu doesn't seem to be here." Luo Xingluo immediately looked for the King of Shu.

As soon as he reminded him, Qu Gacang suddenly realized that Li Ke was not there.

Could it be...

He has died in the dense forest.

Qu Gacang was overjoyed, if Li Ke really died in the dense forest, then the remaining soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have nothing to fear.

"It's too ridiculous for a Sergeant of the Tang Dynasty to be quick with his tongue."

The white-robed veteran retorted.He had long wanted to meet the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, so he took the lead in giving the order, and arrow feathers immediately flew out of the city wall.

Chu Feng moved the shield array forward to block the arrow feathers, and the siege crossbow here also attacked immediately.

The sound of the bowstring vibrating could not be heard, mixed with the miserable wailing of the Nanzhao city guards.

Qu Gacang had no choice but to shake his head, the military weapons used by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were very powerful, far from what they in the Nanzhao Kingdom could compare with.

However, the guard of Kunming Mansion never listened to his suggestion, and only thought that the guard of Qujing was incompetent, which made Qujing fall.

Now, they have also personally seen the siege equipment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if you are afraid, it is already too late.

The white-robed veteran's face gradually became serious. According to the momentum of his attack, the city gate of Kunming Mansion was broken in just a moment.

"Is that the siege engine you were talking about?"

The white-robed veteran pulled Luo Xingluo over and pointed at the huge crossbows, his voice trembling.

Luo Xingluo nodded, as if he saw the scene when Qujing was breached that day.

"Kill the person who controls the crossbow."

The white-robed veteran said to a lieutenant general, who immediately set up a bow and arrow.

"Buzz!" There was a sound.

The Tang sergeant who was manipulating the bow and crossbow was shot and fell to the ground.

However, he stood up again as if nothing had happened, still cursing.

"Damn, you dare to shoot me, see if I don't give you a good look."

The huge arrow rushed out and went straight to the lieutenant who shot the arrow just now. The lieutenant sat down on the ground in fright.

The arrow shot straight across his scalp, taking away the helmet and loosening his hair.

The Sergeant of the Tang Dynasty was invulnerable!
He could no longer describe it as shock, he just felt that the people of Tang Dynasty were too scary.

However, the reason why the Tang sergeant was shot in the chest by arrow feathers was nothing.

It's all because Li Ke equipped the soldiers with new armor.

Ordinary arrow feathers, if the sword cuts on the armor, it will not do any damage at all.

It's just that he fell because he was carried away by the arrow feathers.

"Hurry up, a few more rounds."

Another sergeant drew the bowstring fully again, waiting for someone to put the arrow feathers on.

"Okay, that guy didn't get stabbed to death. I have to kill him myself after I enter the city later."

The Datang sergeant who was shot rubbed his chest. After being hit, he still felt some pain.

Although the sergeants around were busy, they also complied with his request, expressing that no one was arguing with him.

The white-robed veteran's eyes widened in shock.

He knew that there is absolutely no one in this world who is not afraid of swords and guns. It is obvious that the armor worn by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is extremely defensive, so they are still fine after being shot by arrow feathers.

From this alone, we can know how excellent the equipment of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is.

With such a strong team, how could Nanzhao win.

Just when he was at his wit's end, a herald came running.

"The general is not good. The [-] reinforcements were intercepted by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"What did you say?"

The veteran in white robe turned his head sharply, with an angry expression on his face.

"General, the [-] reinforcements who came to support Kunming were all intercepted and killed by the soldiers of Datang who suddenly appeared on the way."

"Furthermore, those soldiers from the Tang Dynasty have already entered the Kunming Mansion."

The herald's face was pale, and he didn't expect the people of Tang Dynasty to be so cunning.
