Douluo: My princess is undercover

Chapter 86 Pre-war Deployment

A month passed in a hurry, and Commander Yu was very efficient in his work. That day, while Xue Haochen was practicing, someone came to report that the weapons and equipment had been manufactured.

Arriving at the Xuanjia Cavalry's barracks, Xue Haochen saw a large number of sky-piercing arrows and assault crossbows. Although they seemed to be relatively crudely made, they did not affect their power.

"Your Highness, we have completed the work according to your instructions. Eight thousand sky-piercing arrows and 3 assault crossbows have been completed. The formation outside the city has also been completed. Please review it," Commander Yu said.

"Well, let me give it a try," Xue Haochen said.

I saw him pick up five giant crossbow arrows and put them on the crossbow cart, and then pulled the string with one hand. With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the five arrows shot out and penetrated a hundred meters away almost in the blink of an eye. of walls.

Sky-piercing arrows are heavy crossbows and require the assistance of a crossbow vehicle to launch. For ordinary soldiers, at least three people are needed to pull the arrow string of the crossbow vehicle.

Although the sky-piercing arrow is more laborious to use, its power is undoubted. It can penetrate the bodies of several adults without any problem. Even a soul master at the soul sect level cannot resist it.

The Assault Crossbow is a light crossbow with similar shape and function to the Zhuge Liannu. However, after Xue Haochen's modification, its lethality has also been greatly improved. It is not difficult to kill low-level soul masters.

With this kind of weapon in hand, coupled with the ancient formation, Xue Haochen is confident that he will defeat his opponent even if he faces an enemy force several times his own!

"Very good! Come here, go and invite General Ximen, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him," Xue Haochen said to the guard on the side.

He didn't intend to hide these weapons from Ximen Zhan. They weren't that great anyway, and Ximen Zhan's help would be needed in the next war.

You must know that the number of the Xuanjia Army is not large. It is not enough to set up a formation, let alone carry out other tasks. What Xue Haochen wants is not to repel the hundreds of thousands of Star Luo Empire's army, but to defeat them. They were completely defeated!

Soon, Ximen Zhan brought two lieutenants to the Xuanjia Army's station. Although he could refuse Xue Haochen's invitation, as Xue Haochen was the prince of the empire and was personally dispatched by Emperor Xue Ye, he naturally Don't dare be rude.

Looking at the Xuanjia Army in training, the two lieutenants behind Ximen Zhan showed shocked expressions, because compared with the Xuanjia Army, their army was simply a bunch of rabble.

There was nothing strange on Ximen Zhan's face. As one of the few commanders of the Tiandou Empire, he had also been to Beast Roar Pass and seen the complete formation of the Black Armor Army, which was even more shocking than this.

"See Your Highness"!Entering Xue Haochen's tent, Ximen Zhan and the other three bowed and saluted.

"General Ximen is here, please take a seat." Seeing this, Xue Haochen didn't put on any airs. He never liked that.

"Your Highness, what is the important matter for calling me here?"After sitting down, Ximen Zhan asked. Xue Haochen had stayed in Zilin Pass for so long, and he had gained some understanding of him. He understood that if nothing happened, Xue Haochen would never disturb him.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. I plan to have a decisive battle with Dai Tianci in a month! What does General Ximen think?"Xue Haochen said.

"This..." Ximen Zhan did not answer immediately to Xue Haochen's words, but fell into silence.

In his opinion, staying in the city is the safest way at present. Leaving the city for a decisive battle is tantamount to self-destruction. Of course, this is not because he is afraid of death, but because of the consideration of the nearly [-] defenders.

"Your Highness, I forgive you for being bold. I cannot agree with your opinion. With our strength, we are no match for Dai Tianci. Once the city is broken, not only will tens of thousands of defenders die, but hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong will also die. Will be implicated," Ximen Zhan said after a long time.

"If I say that I am sure of victory, can General Ximen help me? I guarantee that Zilin Pass will be safe and sound," Xue Haochen said with a smile.

"Oh? Does your Highness have any perfect plan? I am all ears," Ximen Zhan asked. He didn't want to repel Dai Tianci, but he didn't have the ability.

There are unpredictable circumstances, and there is never a guaranteed victory on the battlefield. Even if Xue Haochen said so, he would still reserve his opinion.

"I can't say there is a perfect strategy, I can only say that I am very confident! I will go to the battlefield in person to fight Dai Tianci. General Ximen only needs to lend me [-] elite troops." Xue Haochen did not finish his words.

"Your Highness, I still retain my original opinion. The best policy is to stick to it." Ximen Zhan remained unmoved. As the general who defends Zilin Pass, he cannot bet with the lives of all the soldiers in the city!

"I have made up my mind! This is the Tiger Talisman given to me by my father! It can mobilize all the defenders in Zilin Pass. I think General Ximen will not disobey orders, right?"Seeing that softness was not enough, Xue Haochen could only use hardness.

Xue Haochen took out an exquisite tiger talisman, which was given to him by Emperor Xue Ye before he left. With this tiger talisman, he could completely replace Ximen Zhan. He didn't take it out before because he didn't want to do it.

When he left Tiandou City earlier, Xue Haochen had mentioned to Emperor Xue Ye that if he wanted him to repel the Star Luo Empire's army, he must be given sufficient autonomy.

And Xue Haochen was the most valued son of Emperor Xue Ye. Emperor Xue Ye naturally would not refuse his request, so he gave Xue Haochen this tiger talisman.

"I obey my orders"!Seeing the Tiger Talisman, Ximen Zhan and the others knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.

They knew very well what this tiger talisman represented. Seeing this tiger talisman, it was as if Emperor Xue Ye was here in person!How dare they disobey the emperor's order?

"General Ximen, please wake up. I have no choice but to discuss the specific combat steps now," Xue Haochen said.

If he wants to mobilize the defenders of Zilin Pass, he must ask Ximen Zhan to nod, otherwise even if he has the tiger talisman given by Emperor Xueye, it will be of no use.

The general did not accept the order of the foreign king, and the defenders of Zilin Pass only obeyed the orders of Ximen Zhan. Maybe they could make them surrender with the tiger talisman, but that was just their dissatisfaction.

"One month later, I will have a decisive battle with the army led by Dai Tianci outside Zilin Pass. At that time, I will ask General Ximen to lead the remaining 5 people to ambush here and wait for Dai Tianci to be defeated." Xue Haochen pointed Said a spot on the sand table.

"Your Highness, is it appropriate for us to do this? This is equivalent to an all-out attack. If we are defeated, Zilin Pass will be lost." Seeing this, Xiao Ximenzhan said.

"It doesn't matter, we will not lose this battle! If we lose, I will bear all the blame alone!"Xue Haochen said seriously.

He was very confident in himself, no, it should be said that he was very confident in that ancient formation. With that ancient formation, he firmly believed that he could defeat the Star Luo Empire's army.

Maybe this is a risky move, but in Xue Haochen's opinion, only dangerous moves can defeat the enemy!Otherwise, we don’t know how long this battle will last.
