SWNOVELS Chapter 251: Go Straight to the Front!
Chapter 251: Go Straight to the Front!
When Sun Shaozong returned to the inn, he saw that the original guests inside had already dispersed completely, even the shopkeeper and the bartender had disappeared.
Only Xiang Yi, Jia Shanyao, and others, who were awestruck and nervous, welcomed him into the backyard.
After listening to Sun Shaozongs words and giving a general idea of what happened just now, Xiang Yi only expressed admiration, but Jia Shanyao slipped his beard, patted his horse, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is unparalleled in bravery! Today, I indeed have an eye-opener..."
"Come on, stop talking about this nonsense!"
Sun Shaozong rudely interrupted him and gave Xiang Yi an arch, saying, "Brother Xiang, please take someone to collect some mats and ropes and come back. The more the number, the better!"
Although Xiang Yi didnt understand the usefulness of collecting these things, he still generously agreed and led the people away with enthusiasm.
Looking at his excited appearance, he was obviously fooled by the victory of "chopping melons and vegetables." He thought that the two hundred people from the Governor's Mansion were not difficult to deal with.
However, Jia Shanyao was born in the military, and although he had never been to the battlefield, he also knew the scale of long-range weapons. No matter how brave the Generals were, they wouldnt dare attack the strict military formation with a large number of firearms, bows, and crossbows of the enemy!
Therefore, as soon as Xiang Yi left, he came forward and advised, "My Lord, Governor Zhou... I'm afraid that Zhou Ruqing won't give up when he gets the news. I think we should first find a way to escape from the city, lest we are surrounded by them."
After a pause, when Sun Shaozong took off his clothes at his own discretion, he didn't have any reaction at all. He then analyzed and said, "At present, the Governor and the staff of the Chief Provincial Judge are all concentrated in the Governor's Office, and there shouldn't be many people holding hands on the city gate and dock. With your ability to escape..."
"Escape?"
Sun Shaozong took off his bloodstained cloak and stripped off all his clothes inside, revealing his majestic body cast in iron and copper. He sneered casually, "Did Lord Jia forget the four words duty to defend the country? If Zhou Ruqing really kidnaps the North Korean envoy and goes to sea now, it must be a big case that breaks the sky!"
"At that time, the Imperial Court will lose face and the Holy One will burst into a rage. Who do you think will be taken as the scapegoat?"
Speaking of this, he spread out his two strong arms and said casually, "Anyway, I have been fighting for a while, and I am not the local official of the Jinmen. If Lord Jia wants to leave, I will..."
Putong~
Before he could finish speaking, Jia Shanyao knelt on the ground, kowtowing like a clove of pestering garlic, imploring, "I'm confused, and I would like to ask you to guide me through the maze!"
Previously, he was intent on escaping, but now, as Sun Shaozong reminded him, he realized that escaping would only result in total death!
But staying in Jinmen Mansion was also a dead end, wasnt it?!contemporary romance
"Since you can't leave, just stay with me and fight for it. I can't guarantee that you will survive, but I can guarantee that I will rush ahead of you!"
Sun Shaozong said, seeing Jia Shanyao's face similar to a bitter melon. He smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying, If we win this bet, you can at least earn a thousand pawns. Isn't it beautiful then?"
Win a bet?
What was he betting on?
How could they win?!
The total number of people who could fight in this inn was only six, but opposite of them were 200 fully armed officers and soldiers, who could just use their toes to figure out how to win or lose.
Jia Shanyao pondered and said with a wry smile, "Your Excellency, don't you want to stay in this inn to drag down the people in the Governor's Mansion?"
Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Yi had already brought back over twenty mattresses, as if they were a messy pile of hills in the courtyard.
Sun Shaozong ignored Jia Shanyao and quickly carried out the eight tables in the living room. He ordered someone to search for a sturdy one in the next courtyard. Then he turned the two of the tables over and tied them together at a 45-degree angle.
In this way, the two tables formed an arrow-like shape.
Sun Shaozong ordered more than a dozen quilts to be tied to the tabletop and had them carry buckets of well water and also had them pour it onto the table.
When Jia Shanyao saw this, he became increasingly convinced that Sun Shaozong was trying to guard the inn.
He was so disappointed that he couldn't care anymore about his dignity or inferiority. He looked down and said, My Lord, this kind of thing can only withstand for a while. At present, Zhou Ruqing has gone crazy and can do anything crazy. At that time, all he needs to do is set a fire nearby, and we'll all die without a whole body!"
Sun Shaozong was asking someone to cut the remaining quilt into pieces, then desperately pressed it, wrapping it layer by layer on his body. Hearing what he said so pessimistically, he sneered and said, "Who told you that I made this thing to guard the inn?"
Did he need others to tell him so?
Those eight solid wood tables add up to at least a hundred pounds, while those quilts were all thick and stable, and a dozen beds together might not weigh a hundred pounds. Now, many wells of water have been poured onto them, so the weight was probably double!
The weight was just over 300 kilograms outside and inside. If they didnt use it to block the door, were they going to carry it out and smash people?!
Just thinking of this, Jia Shanyao's eyes suddenly straightened!
Sun Shaozong was wrapped in a thick cloth, so he came forward and grabbed the knot under the table. He casually lifted it, and the weight of over 300 kilograms was slightly suspended in the air!
Under Jia Shanyao's stunned gaze, Sun Shaozong tried to pose a few poses and then carried the solid woof tables briskly for a few steps. Only then did he say with satisfaction, "Done! With this thing here, you don't have to be afraid of being shot from the front with guns and crossbows!"
He has seen a lot of anti-Japanese dramas and has probably figured out the origin of this thing.
Yes, this was the landed tank used by the Eighth Route Army when it bombed the blockhouse!
However, the type Eighth Route Army used was pushed by a few cars or carried by a few people, and could only protect the top of the head. It was also cumbersome, slow, and prone to terrain constraints.
However, what Sun Shaozong did would not be a problem at all.
Because of the power of improvement, he could even use this thing as a bulletproof shield!
Once the landed tank was used to rush into the enemy's formation and engaged in melee, those firearms and crossbows wouldnt be useful. Of course, to improve survival, Sun Shaozong still wore thick armor around his body.
After the armor was also filled with water from the well, with all the equipment added up, the whole thing must have weighed nearly 400 kilograms now. Only those that were as huge as him could use this as individual equipment.
Sun Shaozong put down the landed tank and arched his hand to Xiang Yi, who was equally stunned, saying, Brother Xiang, the officers and soldiers who are still staying in the Imperial Court, the Vassal Court, and the Prefectural Government shouldnt be Zhou Ruqing's accomplices, at least not his confidants."
"You might as well take these two prisoners over and reveal what Zhou Ruqing has done, and then use the phrase defending the land is a responsibility to force them to save themselves!
Xiang Yi froze for a moment but shook his head like a rattling drum and exclaimed, "Just leave this matter to someone else. I want to stay and live and die with Brother Sun!"
When Jia Shanyao heard it, a flash of light passed before his eyes, and he couldnt wait to offer himself.
Unfortunately, Sun Shaozong spoke again and said, "Brother Xiang, please gather enough people and bring them over to support me. If it were changed to someone else, it's not certain whether they will bring someone over."
After hearing this, Xiang Yi wanted to persuade Sun Shaozong to join him in summoning people.
Sun Shaozong was helpless and said, "At present, we have already alarmed the enemy. If no one comes forward to drag the troops of the Governor Mansion forward, it is estimated that Zhou Ruqing will have escaped to the ship before we can gather all the people."
Xiang Yi thought it was the same reason, so he reluctantly clasped his fists and said, "Please take care, Brother Sun. I will live up to your trust!"
As he spoke, he called out a few confidants and hurried off with the two prisoners.
Jia Shanyao was looking at his back and admiring him when he saw Sun Shaozong holding the Eight Table in his hand and ordering someone to pour several barrels of well water on his armor. It was so cold that it was all over him, but he greeted him with great enthusiasm and said, "Let's go, just go ahead with me!"
