The son does all kinds of evil?I sentenced him to be executed all over the house!

Chapter 167

Walking at the end of the team, Wang Chong and Chen Taibao began to study the layout of the pass here.

The more they watched, the more terrified they became.

"The guards of Jinrong City seem to use equipment from before the year of Shenwu. Am I dazzled?"

Wang Chong asked with some doubts.

And Chen Taibao had a wry smile on his face.

"You are not dazzled. It is indeed the equipment before the year of Shenwu, and it is also the style of the empress before she ascended the throne."

"And judging by the appearance of these equipment, although they are well maintained, these weapons and armor seem to be the style of the late emperor?"

"It's been more than ten or twenty years, this..."

Chen Taibao's face was full of disbelief, he affirmed the thoughts of his colleagues.

Wang Chong stared at him in shock.

"Jinrong City is an important frontier defense area for King Jin's vassal state. Why are the equipment used by these soldiers still so old-fashioned?"

Chen Taibao glanced at the other party, and an embarrassed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

How could the equipment be so old-fashioned?

Everyone is the son of Wu Xun, and they are all working behind the back of the Ministry of Industry. Don't you know why?

Of course it was swallowed by us.

There are two sources of armament resources for the feudal king.

One is the armaments produced by their own country.

The other part comes from the Imperial Ministry of Industry.

Before the feudal kings broke up with the court.

The Ministry of Industry uses a large amount of new equipment every year.

And the reason why Jinrong City's equipment is so old can only be because most of it was annexed by Wu Xun's children behind the Ministry of Industry.

Wang Chong saw Chen Taibao's embarrassed wry smile and reacted.

He shook his head and said.

"I didn't mean it that way."

"In addition to the new equipment sent by the court every year, the Ministry of Industry will also send some equipment blueprints."

"Hasn't the new equipment made by them, the feudal lords, been shipped over?"

Chen Taibao pondered for a while, then said uncertainly.

"Could it be the Ministry of Industry of this vassal, there is also a problem?"

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them understood.

This might really be a problem!
At this time, the voices of King Jin's staff came from the city wall.

"General Wang, General Chen, my lord has something to ask you."

Wang Chong and Chen Taibao looked at each other, then quickly climbed up the city ladder, and came in front of King Jin.

Before he could stand still, he heard King Jin's triumphant laughter.

"Two generals, what do you think of my king's military supplies in Jingrong City?"

Wang Chong and Chen Taibao looked at each other, thinking of what they had seen and heard just now, they stopped talking.

This question is a proposition, how should I answer it?

The air above the city wall seemed to freeze.

Wu Xun's disciple Wang Chong and Chen Taibao were thinking about how to answer.

They each glanced at each other, hoping that the other could think of an answer to King Jin's question.

But neither of them knew how to judge.

King Jin's speech just now proved that he knew nothing about the war.

The equipment used by those soldiers was at least ten years old.

King Jin didn't know anything about this.

This further shows that his ability to grasp his vassal state and subordinates is very poor.

It also shows that the generals in the vassal state or the officials who preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are also corrupt and perverted people who only care about their own interests.

From the point of view of the two of them, the guarding force of Jinrong City could not be defended at all.

But they were just Wu Xun who came to join King Jin.

To put it bluntly, it belongs to the outsiders.

If these questions were raised face to face, I'm afraid it would offend King Jin's confidants.

These people can play tricks on the weapons and equipment of the guards, which proves that they are not weak.

And this king of Jin is clearly ambitious.

If I really pointed out the problem, I'm afraid I won't get any good looks.

For the family behind them, this is not a good thing.

But if you don't point out the problem here...

Now it's a war!

The Empress' soldiers have reached the bottom of the city wall!
The war is about to start!
If King Jin and his soldiers thought they were powerful, then...

The two still couldn't decide how to answer King Jin's question, so they could only smile awkwardly.

King Jin's face darkened and he looked at them.

"But is there any shortcoming in this King's Jinrong City?"

"Both generals have killed the enemy in battle, and they are both children of the Wu Xun family, so they have quite a lot of experience."

"This king's city defense, if there is any deficiency, please tell me directly."

The staff and generals behind King Jin also looked at them.

Chen Taibao let out a sigh of relief, and when he was about to report truthfully, Wang Chong was already one step ahead.

"His Royal Highness Jin, the soldiers of Jinrong City are well-armed and their morale is high. This battle must be won!"

His voice was very firm, and there was an unquestionable confidence on his face.

"Just now, General Chen and I were just shocked by the military strength of Jinrong City."

After speaking, there was a look of embarrassment on his face.

"Before we came, we thought that the military strength in the hands of the prince must not be enough, but we didn't expect it to be so powerful."

King Jin's face returned to normal, full of complacency.

The staff and generals behind him also began to flatter him.

"His Royal Highness King Jin of the city is a good leader in normal times!"

"It's all thanks to the prince!"

"My lord, I heard from the physiognomist before that your heaven is full and your land is wide and round. You must have the face of an emperor!"

……

They were still trying their best to praise King Jin, but Chen Taibao looked at Wang Chong with a strange expression.

Wang Chong signaled him to take a few steps back, and said in a low voice.

"Don't be so anxious!"

"Although these equipment are quite old, they are well maintained and can still come in handy!"

"Although the equipment of the soldiers under him is old, it doesn't mean how strong the equipment of the Empress is!"

"The strength gap between the two sides should not be very large."

"Besides, the walls of Jinrong City are protected by magic circles, and they can occupy favorable terrain."

"We Wu Xun are foreigners after all."

"Splashing him with cold water at this time is extremely detrimental to our development."

"Wait first, then take your time."

"The winning rate in this game is still very high."

"But if you want to win, you will also expose some shortcomings."

"At that time, we will look for another opportunity to give Wang Ye some suggestions for improvement."

"That will show our usefulness, and it will also enhance the status of our family."

Chen Taibao frowned slightly as he looked at Wang Chong who was eloquent.

This man really doesn't look like a war general, but a cunning fox.

But he also had to admit that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable.

The two stopped talking and began to study the Jinrong City carefully.

Needless to say, this city wall is quite thick, and the magic circle is also complete. It is still no problem to win this offensive and defensive battle.

Although he thought so in his heart, Chen Taibao looked at those generals and staff who were still praising King Jin with extreme contempt.

After this battle is over, we have to find a way to evade the rights of these idiots.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for this king of Jin to stand out among the vassal kings, let alone ascend to the throne.

He looked not far in front of the city wall again.

There are the Custodians encamped.

Looking at their weapons and equipment, it seems to be the Xuanwu Army and the Yanjingdao army.

Chen Taibao felt relieved for the time being.
