Chapter 778 Goldfinger is sometimes late
Zhao Bingzhao had fought with the guards around Emperor Taizu before. His blows were quite heavy, but the guards around Emperor Taizu seemed to be insensitive to any pain.
Especially the half-step innate one among them, who was very powerful and attacked recklessly, which almost caused Zhao Bingzhao to capsize in the ditch.
I didn't notice it at the time, after all, that was a matter of life and death.
Now, looking at the reactions of these soldiers, something seems amiss.
"Uncle, there's some trouble!"
Although the results of the first battle were significant, this battle also made them realize a problem. That is, if these soldiers were to engage them head-on, their slow reaction would definitely be a disaster rather than a blessing for them.
"Have someone prepare more kerosene cans!"
"If you can avoid close combat, absolutely avoid it!"
Compared with the Frost Spirits, these people brought by Emperor Taizu are even more terrifying.
Although the Frost Spirits are fearless and brave, they are ultimately affected by pain and injury. However, the people led by Emperor Taizu are like the living dead.
The body is alive, but it has no thoughts or consciousness of its own.
Zhao Bingzhao had suffered losses in close combat, so he decisively gave the most effective advice.
Xu Laosan also understood that close combat was not allowed, however, he soon discovered that the other side had also begun to set up catapults.
Bombardment!
Discovering that Emperor Taizu's soldiers were beginning to prepare catapults, Xu Laosan gave the order to attack without any hesitation.
The kerosene tank is empty!
The catapults on Emperor Taizu's side were destroyed one by one, but there were still many catapults set up.
The flames of the kerosene tanks and the damage from the exploding fragments, as long as the soldiers on the opposite side did not die immediately, they continued to set up the catapults in an orderly manner.
Soon, the catapults from the opposite side also threw stones over.
Although the boulder did not cause explosion or fire damage, its rolling still caused great damage to the soldiers on Xu Laosan's side who were defending.
Compared with the soldiers on Emperor Taizu's side who were completely unaffected, the difference is obvious.
"Uncle, what are you going to do?"
When Xu Laosan found Zhao Bingzhao, he saw that Zhao Bingzhao had already gathered cavalry and was preparing to charge!
"I'm going to go over there and take out those catapults!"
Zhao Bingzhao raised his hand and pointed across.
Facing the stones thrown from the catapults by Emperor Taizu, the counterattacks of the catapults on this side were obviously suppressed. Even if they occasionally fought back, their accuracy was too poor to achieve the desired effect.
"Uncle, stop struggling! The other side is ready to attack!"
It was precisely because he saw that the other side was already gathering troops that Xu Laosan came to find Zhao Bingzhao.
Zhao Bingzhao took a deep breath and said, "Looks like there's only one last way!"
"What method?"
Hearing that there was a way, Xu Laosan immediately became energetic.
"Behead!"
Zhao Bingzhao raised his hand again and pointed to the other side, "Only by killing Emperor Taizu will everything be over!"
"Uncle, can we say something reliable?"
When Xu Laosan heard his uncle's method, his first reaction was that it was unreliable.
After the first surprise attack, the Emperor Taizu on the opposite side must have been extremely cautious. It would be too difficult to kill him by a sneak attack!
"Stupid, why is this method unreliable?"
Zhao Bingzhao raised his hand and slapped Xu Laosan.
"It's true that the soldiers over there aren't afraid of death. But they're clueless. It should be easy for us to infiltrate his camp!"
"Uncle, you're overthinking it!"
Xu Laosan rolled his eyes at his uncle and said, "As long as the Emperor Taizu issues an order, his camp will be a real den of dragons and tigers."
It must be said that Zhao Bingzhao was stunned when Xu Laosan said this.
Yes, facing these stupid subordinates, just one order can make these people reach the highest state of alert, and they are the kind that do not know fatigue. Any enemy that sneaks in will be surrounded and killed in the most brutal way once discovered.
Of course, Zhao Bingzhao has another way, which is to let Fubao take action.
Innate!
If Fubao takes action, even if a group of half-step innate people block him, he should be able to kill Emperor Taizu!
But Fubao is still a child!
This was a method that Zhao Bingzhao didn't want to reveal until the last moment.
However, Zhao Bingzhao didn't know that Fubao had already arrived here and saw the situation on the opposite side.
"As expected, they are all puppets with no emotions or intelligence!"
"It's like Age of Empires!"
Fu Bao looked at the situation across from him and felt that Emperor Taizu, the senior who had traveled through time, seemed to be the owner of the system. However, this system was not top-notch.
Otherwise, if we just summoned a powerful general from Chinese history, such as the generals of the Three Kingdoms, the generals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or the so-called heroes in Water Margin, then this battle would be too much of a foregone conclusion.
But even so, seeing the miserable state of his own catapult position, Fubao knew that if there was no unexpected situation in this battle, the outcome would be doomed.
Fortunately, she was in emergency!
When catching a thief, catch the leader first; when shooting a person, shoot the horse first.
While Xu Laosan and Zhao Binghao were still struggling with how to deal with the attack of Emperor Taizu's army, Fubao stepped on a sword, flew over the trench and headed straight for the enemy camp opposite.
"kill!"
Sure enough, Emperor Taizu issued an order. When Fubao entered the camp, all the soldiers in the camp put down their work and rushed towards Fubao.
The archers' arrows covered the ground, and the spearmen threw out short spears one by one.
Unfortunately, it's of no use.
With a move of her mind, Fubao repelled all the arrows and spears attacking her.
"Uncle, look over there, little sister!"
Xu Laosan quickly discovered the abnormality on the opposite side and saw Fubao rushing into the opposite camp.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Hurry up, give the order, attack!"
"You want Xiao Fubao to charge into the battle alone?"
"Ah, yes, yes, attack!"
Xu Laosan immediately ordered his men to beat drums and march forward.
Then, the garrison troops of Xiangyi Prefecture and the supporting Northern Barbarian cavalry all set out and rushed towards the camp of Emperor Taizu opposite.
The decisive battle breaks out in an instant!
However, because of the existence of Fubao, Emperor Taizu had no choice but to order all soldiers to kill Fubao as their primary goal for his own safety.
Fubao attracted the attention here and relieved a lot of pressure on Xu Laosan's attack.
The soldiers created by the system are indeed powerful, but they lack sufficient wisdom, which is their biggest shortcoming.
Now, this shortcoming has been infinitely magnified because of Fubao's attack.
In order to save his life, Emperor Taizu chose to run away again, and at the same time ordered all the soldiers to stop Fubao and Xu Laosan's army at all costs.
The order was flawed again. Faced with the oncoming attack, the soldiers under Emperor Taizu did not fight desperately, but adopted a passive defensive stance.
As a result, although they were very strong, facing opponents that were several times larger than themselves, they just defended and blocked, and the outcome was already doomed.
When Fubao entered the camp, she had no idea where the time-traveling Emperor Taizu was, so she made a fuss in order to alert the enemy.
As Emperor Taizu retreated and fled, Fubao locked onto his opponent's position.
"Want to leave!"
Fubao jumped lightly, flew into the air, stepped on the shoulders of a group of soldiers, and caught up with the fleeing Emperor Taizu in a gust of wind.
"Senior, don't get excited. Be careful of the swords!"
Fubao caught up with Emperor Taizu and directly swung his sword across Emperor Taizu's neck.
"Senior, please ask your men to kneel down and surrender!"
With a knife at his neck, Emperor Taizu had no choice but to admit defeat.
However, he did not think he had lost.
As the fourth calamity with a system, even if he died now, it would only be a matter of time before he could log back in. By then, he would definitely avenge his previous humiliation.
Of course, if he was really destined to have no way to survive, he would not let the enemy have an easy time. With just a thought, the soldiers here would become the most terrifying killers, the kind that would fight to the death.
"Senior, the fourth disaster?"
"What system panel are you?"
"The sky-king covers the earth-covering tiger, and the pagoda suppresses the river monster?"
…
After subduing Emperor Taizu, Fubao started asking questions.
When Emperor Taizu heard Fubao's question, he was stunned for a moment. He stared at Fubao blankly and said, "Little girl, you too?"
"I'm not!"
Fu Bao shrugged, "I just traveled through time, through a different world!"
"What about you? What's going on?"
"I heard from my uncle that you are the Fourth Calamity and are about to become a god?"
"Tell me, how can one become a god?"
"By the way, you, the Fourth Calamity, are you really immortal?"
Fubao has a lot of problems.
She was a good-looking koi heroine in a farming novel, but she inexplicably awakened her mental power, uh, or you could say she became a congenital master. How did she meet a player with a system?
It couldn't be that this so-called time travel was actually a time travel into a game?
That's not right. If it's a game, you should at least have a data panel and character attributes or something.
But in fact, she had nothing.
"Where can one truly be immortal?"
Emperor Taizu smiled bitterly, "If I really could survive, tell me, why did I run just now?"
“That’s right!”
Fubao nodded, it was indeed the truth.
If Emperor Taizu was truly immortal, then he could have fought head-on without caring about his life or death. Why would he turn around and run away when he saw that the situation was not right?
"Sister, how did you get here?"
"I was wondering why I came here this time and everything seemed to go wrong. I think it's because of you!"
"What do you mean?"
Fubao looked at Emperor Taizu in confusion, feeling that there was something else behind his words.
Emperor Taizu sighed and said, "Sister, let me tell you this: in every world, there are people with great luck. They are what we often call people with the aura of the protagonist!"
“I used to be that kind of person!”
"Originally, if nothing unexpected happened, I would have unified the world by then, gained recognition from the world's destiny, and become the Son of the Planes."
"One of my system tasks is to become a son of the plane. However, you know, players like us, the Fourth Calamity, traveling across various planes, will always offend some people."
"As for me, I just offended someone and was tricked by him. That's why I left this world and returned to the main world!"
"I'll come back after I've dealt with things outside. It's already been over a hundred years here. Do you know how depressed I am?"
"I don't know, but I can imagine!"
Fubao didn't know whether what Emperor Taizu said was true or false, but what was certain was that this emperor had not shown any hostility towards her at the moment.
"Sister, well, with you here, I can't complete my system mission. However, my system mission has also changed. Now the mission has changed to assist you, sister, to become the master of the world. How about we cooperate?"
"Assist me?"
Fu Bao rolled his eyes. "I don't have a system, and I don't need to complete tasks. Why should I be the master of the world?"
"No, as the old saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, their eyes fill with tears."
"Come to think of it, we are actually from the same hometown. What kind of fate is it that we can meet in this world?"
"As for the system problem, it's not a problem. As long as you want, sister, I can be your guide and guarantee that you can get the system!"
"Watt? Bro, are you serious?"
Hearing what Emperor Taizu said, Fubao instantly lost his composure.
This system can actually be obtained this way?
Isn't it said that only those with great luck have systems?
Wait, it seems like I have great luck.
Is it really like what is written in the novel, that the golden finger may be late sometimes, but it will come eventually?
But what kind of system would he get? If it was the same idiotic system as the one he'd gotten from that time-traveling senior, she would probably just throw it away in the corner, right?
"Sister, would I joke about this kind of thing?"
"Besides, if the system doesn't arrive later, you can always settle the score with me. After all, you are the knife and I am the fish!"
"Brother, you have to tell me what kind of system I can get, right?"
The systems are definitely diverse.
"Also, are system tasks required to be completed, or are they optional?"
“How should I define the relationship between me and the system?”
Thinking about how some people got the system and then became puppets of the system, running around every day to complete tasks, and some people got the system and instantly became pretentious criminals who got something for nothing.
Sign in, get rich and become a wealthy man.
Just check in and you can find everything from cultivation techniques to magical weapons and elixirs.
Regarding this kind of pretentious system that allows people to get something for nothing, Fubao just wants to ask, can she get two too?
I'm not afraid to say that these days, if you can win easily, only a fool would fight for it. Otherwise, why are there so many novels online about getting something for nothing?
Ultimately, it’s because you can’t get what you want!
In reality, you can’t get something for nothing, so you can only find some pleasure in online literature.
"Sister, I won't cheat you!"
"You can do this system task or not. Look at me, didn't I just fail to complete the previous task?"
"Also, sister, with this system, you can go back to the modern era!"
Hearing this, Fubao's eyes suddenly sparkled.
