Three days later, Ren Baqian looked at the human-shaped bomb that was one foot taller than him and had a shell made entirely of special steel. He took out his phone and took a selfie of himself.
Although it wasn't exactly the same, he could tell that it was him.
However, the hairstyle he wanted was a bun. What was on this statue's head? A carrot?
Also, this outfit was different from what he had imagined.
"This bomb weighs 312 kilograms and contains 142 kilograms of high explosives as well as more than 20,000 fragments … It has a killing radius of 120 meters. In fact, at a distance of 200 meters, the fragments can still cause considerable damage to unprotected people," the military personnel explained. Although he didn't ask what he shouldn't, he was still very curious about this extremely strange bomb.
Ren Baqian nodded his head as he listened. He was generally satisfied with this bomb.
The most important thing was that there was a walkie-talkie, a miniature loudspeaker, and a listening device on its head, which completely met his requirements.
He immediately asked someone to send the bomb to the garage of the villa and returned to Dayao with it by the waist.
First, he went outside to understand the situation. Although Great Xia was still attacking the city today, the intensity was much lower than before. It seemed that Great Xia was also waiting for reinforcements. It was estimated that the reinforcements would arrive in the afternoon and could only enter the battle tomorrow at the earliest.
"Your Majesty, let's abandon the city!" Li Qianqiu said with difficulty.
If they wanted to abandon the city, this was the best time to do so. When Great Xia's reinforcements arrived, it would be really difficult to defend the city.
With the addition of reinforcements, Great Xia's morale was even higher. There were only 3,000 defenders and nearly 1,000 winged cavalry warriors in the city.
"What do you think?" The empress turned to look at Ren Baqian. Although she didn't say anything else, everyone knew that she was definitely unwilling.
No monarch would choose to abandon a city when he was personally leading the army into battle, especially for an expert like her who was proud and arrogant. Furthermore, if the 100,000 soldiers here were to head south, there would be a total of 300,000 enemies. Dayao's north would be completely undefended, and it would be equivalent to surrendering the city to someone else.
"I think we can still give it a try," Ren Baqian said.
The frown on the empress's face immediately disappeared. No matter what, Ren Baqian always had a way.
"Does Sir Ren have any other way?" Li Qianqiu asked hesitantly. The things that Ren Baqian brought were indeed very useful. If he still had a large number of weapons that he had used before, he might be able to hold on for a period of time. However, how long could he hold on for?
If possible, he didn't want to abandon the city either. If they abandoned the city, Tiesuo Pass and Shun City would be completely isolated. The entire northern region of Dayao would be completely at the mercy of the enemy.
But if they couldn't defend it in the end, it would be better to retreat now and retreat to the mouth of the pot. That place was easy to defend and hard to attack. With the current army, they could still defend the mouth of the pot and then counterattack.
"There's a way," Ren Baqian said. "Your Majesty, Lord Li, please follow me."
Ren Baqian brought the two of them to his room, pointed at the statue, and said, "You can try using this."
Li Qianqiu had a puzzled look on his face when he saw the metal statue inside. Using this statue to defend the city?
The empress looked at the statue, looked at Ren Baqian, and then looked at the statue again. Soon after, she suddenly recalled something, pointed at the statue, and said, "Xia …"
What was summer again? I can't remember, I didn't remember at that time.
However, the empress still remembered that he was the Seventh Prince of Great Xia.
"That's right, the statue of the Seventh Prince of Great Xia." Ren Baqian nodded.
Li Qianqiu had a look of understanding and said, "If it's the statue of the Great Xia emperor, it might be of some use, but only 'a little' use."
If the statue of the Great Xia emperor was erected on top of the city wall, would the enemy still dare to attack? Wouldn't they be afraid of being put in a difficult position?
They probably wouldn't dare to.
But even if they didn't dare to, it was just a statue and couldn't encircle the city wall. Moreover, who would remember this matter when the war started?
"It's not what you think." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"What should we do then?" Li Qianqiu asked curiously.
"Boom!" Ren Baqian made an explosion gesture with both hands. "Explosion is art!"
"Let them move the statue to the commander and destroy it in one fell swoop …"
"How is that possible?"
"You will know tomorrow morning." Ren Baqian waved his hand.
"Sir Ren, are you really confident?"
"You will know tomorrow morning."
Ren Baqian still said the same thing. He felt that the feasibility of this plan was quite high, but whether it would work or not would depend on luck.
Nothing in the world was guaranteed. No matter how thorough the plan was, there could still be all kinds of problems.
A day passed, and it was late at night when the sky was at its darkest. The north gate of Liao City opened quietly. Ren Baqian and Li Qianqiu led the guards out of the city carrying the bomb and headed straight for the Great Xia barracks.
Li Qianqiu was here to be Ren Baqian's bodyguard. With his strength as a Protector General, even if he encountered the weakest of the top 10 experts, he would still be able to hold them off for a few moves. As for the other Spirit Wheel experts, he would be able to capture them whenever they came.
"Alright, leave it here," Ren Baqian said as he looked at the torch in the distance.
This place was less than 200 meters away from the main gate of the Great Xia barracks, and they would be able to see it as soon as the sky brightened up a little.
"Go back!" After the guards put the bomb down, Ren Baqian and the rest went back the way they came. Nothing happened along the way. Other than the two people carrying the statue, the rest were just out for a stroll.
"What next?"
"Wait for the patrol team," Ren Baqian said with his night vision goggles.
Not long after everyone returned to the city wall, a Great Xia patrol team arrived near the bomb. With the help of the starlight, they saw a vague figure in front of them and got a shock. They pointed their spears at the bomb and shouted, "Who's there?"
Following this shout, the guards in front of the barracks also sensed something. They immediately rang the big gong at the side and woke up everyone in the barracks.
"What's the matter?" a patrolling captain asked loudly.
"There's a statue here!" The previous patrol team finally discovered that the motionless thing was actually a statue and not a real person. It was just a false alarm.
But why would such a statue be here? It couldn't possibly grow its legs and run here, right?
When the lieutenant arrived and saw the statue, he first asked when it had appeared here. He also wondered what the barbarians were up to.
"You have been surrounded. Surrender immediately and you will be spared … You have been surrounded. Surrender immediately …" A computer-synthesized voice suddenly came from the statue, startling the captain and the surrounding guards.
The captain pulled out his saber, but the statue remained motionless. It said emotionlessly, "You've been surrounded …"
"What the hell?" The captain was aghast. This thing could actually speak?
Also, who was surrounded? Were we surrounded? What a joke!
"Go and patrol the surroundings and see if there's anyone else!"
"Go and report to the commander-in-chief!"
The captain ordered the nearby soldiers.
"What's going on? Who's talking? "At this moment, a captain who was awakened came over and asked.
"Captain, there's a statue here, and it can speak!"
When the captain came over and saw the statue, he touched it and confirmed that it was indeed made of metal. He then lifted it up with his hand and found that it was quite heavy. However, this statue could actually speak, which made him click his tongue in wonder. It was really strange.
