YM778.TV Chapter 352 All Of You Have Been Surrounded
However, the hairstyle he requested was for the hair to be worn in a bun. What was on this statue\'s head? A carrot?
Also, the clothes worn by the statue was different from how he expected it to be.
"This bomb weighs 312 kilograms, contains 142 kilograms of high explosives, and has more than 20,000 shrapnel fragments... The killing radius can reach 120 meters. In fact, at a distance of 200 meters, the fragments can still cause considerable damage to unprotected personnel," explained the staff member from the military unit. Although he didn\'t ask any stupid questions, he was still extremely curious about this bizarre bomb.
Ren Baqian listened and nodded. Without mentioning other aspects, this bomb was generally satisfactory.
The most important thing was that there was a walkie-talkie and surveillance equipment in the bomb\'s head. In addition, there was also a loudspeaker, which was completely in line with Ren Baqian\'s requirements.
Ren Baqian immediately got someone to send the bomb to his villa\'s garage. He then wrapped one arm around the humanoid bomb\'s waist and returned to Dayao.
First, he went outside to understand the situation. Although Great Xia was still attacking Liao City, the intensity was much lower than before. It seemed that Great Xia was waiting for their reinforcements, and he reckoned that they would arrive in the afternoon. The earliest that they would be able to wholeheartedly participate in the attack would be tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, abandon the city!" Li Qianqiu said with great difficulty.
If they wanted to abandon the city, this was the best time to do so because it would be too difficult to defend against the Great Xia reinforcements later.
With the reinforcements, Great Xia\'s morale increased. On the other hand, there were only 3,000 soldiers defending the city and approximately 1,000 winged cavalry warriors in Liao City.
"What do you think?" The empress turned her head and looked at Ren Baqian. Even though she didn\'t mention anything else, everyone knew that she wasn\'t willing to abandon Liao City.
No ruler would choose to abandon a city when he or she was in charge, particularly an expert like her who was proud and arrogant. Moreover, if the 100,000 soldiers here headed toward the south, the total number of Great Xia soldiers would amount to 300,000. At that time, they wouldn\'t be able to defend the northern territory of Dayao anymore. It was equivalent to giving Dayao up without a fight.
"I feel that we can give it a try," Ren Baqian answered.
The empress, who was originally frowning, immediately became more at ease. Regardless of when it was, Ren Baqian always had a way out.
"Does Sir Ren have any other ideas?" Li Qianqiu hesitated a little before asking. The things that Ren Baqian brought were indeed very useful. If he still had a large amount of those weapons that he had used before, they might be able to hold on for a period of time, but how long could they hold on for?
If it was possible, he wouldn\'t want to abandon the city either. After abandoning the city, both Tiesuo Pass and Shun City, which had been besieged, would be completely isolated. The northern part of Dayao would then be free for the other party to roam around unhindered.
In the end, however, if they still weren\'t able to withstand the attack, they might as well retreat now and return to defending from their base. At that location, it would be easier for them to defend, but harder for them to attack. Given the present situation, it was still possible for them to retreat to defend from their fortress and then launch a counter attack later on.
"I have an idea." Ren Baqian said. "Your Majesty, Sir Li, follow me."
Ren Baqian brought both of them to his room and then pointed at the statue. "We can try using this."
Seeing the metal statue in his room, Li Qianqiu was baffled.
Use this statue to defend the city?
The empress looked at the statue and then back at Ren Baqian again. All of a sudden, she recalled something, pointed at the statue, and said, "Xia..."
Xia...? The empress couldn\'t recall as she hadn\'t remembered his name back then.
However, the empress could still remember the identity of that person, Great Xia\'s Seventh Prince.
"Not bad, it\'s a statue of Great Xia\'s Seventh Prince." Ren Baqian nodded.
Li Qianqiu came to understand what was going on. Soon after, he replied, "If this is a statue of Great Xia\'s Seventh Prince, then perhaps it will be a little useful. Yet, it is merely \'a little\' useful."
Once this statute of Great Xia\'s Seventh Prince was erected at the top of the city wall, would Great Xia still dare to attack them? Wouldn\'t they be afraid that their lives would be made difficult in the future?
He reckoned that they wouldn\'t dare to do so.
Even if they didn\'t dare to attack, this was just a statue, and it wasn\'t able to encircle the city wall. Furthermore, when they were really in the midst of fighting, who would even remember this matter?
"It isn\'t what you think." Ren Baqian gestured with his hands.
"What are we going to do?" Li Qianqiu asked with curiosity.
"Bomb!" Ren Baqian made an explosion gesture with both of his hands.
"Make them bring the statue to their chief commander. After that, we will wipe them out..."
"How\'s that possible?"
"You\'ll know tomorrow morning." Ren Baqian waved him off.
"Sir Ren, are you very confident?"
"You\'ll know tomorrow morning."
Ren Baqian still stood his ground. He felt that this plan was pretty feasible. As for whether it would work out, it all depended on luck.
There\'s nothing perfect in this world—even a foolproof plan has its flaws at times.
One day passed. In the middle of the night, when the sky was at its darkest, Liao City\'s north gate quietly opened. Ren Baqian and Li Qianqiu got the guards to carry the humanoid bomb and headed straight for the Great Xia barracks.
Li Qianqiu was Ren Baqian\'s bodyguard. With his strength as a Protector General, even if he encountered any of the top ten experts, he would be able to buy some time with a few moves. As for any other Spirit Wheel experts, he would be able to smash them one at a time.
"Okay, place it here," Ren Baqian said as he looked at the torch that was a distance away.
This place was only about 200 meters away from the entrance of the Great Xia barracks. As long as the sky was slightly brighter, the humanoid bomb would be visible.
"Return!" After the guards put the humanoid bomb down, Ren Baqian and the rest returned by the same road they came from. It was tranquil all the way back. With the exception of the two guards who carried the humanoid bomb, the others came out for a stroll.
"What happens now?"
"Wait for Great Xia\'s patrol team." Ren Baqian was wearing the night vision device.
Not long after everyone returned to the city wall, Great Xia\'s patrol team approached the vicinity of the humanoid bomb and vaguely saw a visible figure in front of them using the light from the stars. They were shocked, pointed their spears at it, and shouted out loud, "Who\'s this?"
Following this, the soldiers in front of the barracks sensed that something was wrong and immediately struck the big gong next to them, awakening everyone in the barracks.
One of the captains who was also on patrol asked loudly, "What\'s happening?"
"There\'s a statue here!" After some time, the previous patrol team finally discovered that this motionless thing was actually a statue and not a real person. It was just a false alarm.
Yet, how did a statue like this end up here? It couldn\'t be that it grew legs and ran over on its own?
After that captain saw the statue, he clarified with the patrol team about if they knew when it had appeared here. At the same time, he wondered what that bunch of barbarians was up to this time around.
"All of you have been surrounded. Surrender immediately and all your lives will be spared...All of you have been surrounded. Surrender immediately and all your lives will be spared..." This warning message was played repeatedly in an electronic voice, giving that captain and the patrol team a huge scare.
That captain even pulled out his sword, but the statue was still motionless and speaking the same sentence repeatedly without any emotion.
"All of you have been surrounded..."
"What is this thing?" That captain was overwhelmed with shock. This thing could actually speak?
Furthermore, who had been surrounded? Us? This was simply a joke!
"A few of you, go around and see if there are any other people!"
"You, go and report to the Great General!"
That commander instructed all the soldiers in the vicinity.
"What\'s going on? Who\'s speaking?" At this time, a commander who was awakened by the noise came over to find out what was going on.
"Commander, there\'s a statue here that can speak!"
That commander first touched the statue and found that it was indeed made of metal. He then tried to lift it up and discovered that it wasn\'t light at all. However, it was a strange phenomenon that the statue could speak, and he was astonished.
"Inform the Great General." The commander passed down an order. As for how this thing should be handled, that would still have to depend on the Great General\'s instructions.
