A knife in love

Chapter 408

Although all the gang leaders and sect leaders present were well-informed and familiar with the crossbows used by people in the martial arts, they never knew that the army would use such large crossbows.At this time, hearing Li Qiufeng talk about the past, everyone was shocked.Unexpectedly, the small crossbow bolts I have seen before have such a history.

Li Qiufeng went on to say: "The Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and the Sima family unified the world. A sharp weapon like Zhuge Qiangnu is something that military strategists dream of. How can Jin not take it. It's just that when the Han army fought against Cao Wei, it was the most powerful weapon. There are two kinds of weapons that are valued. One is the strong crossbow, and the other is the wooden ox and horse. Once the Han army is surrounded and unable to escape, the Han army will often destroy these two weapons first, and never allow them to fall into the hands of the enemy. After the fall of the Han Dynasty, these two weapons have been lost. Until the founding of the Song Dynasty, generals such as Wang Quanbin and Cao Bin were ordered by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to go west to Shu. It is said that Cao Bin got the Zhuge crossbow built in Shu. The secret picture of the Zhuge Liannu, he was ingenious, improved the Zhuge Liannu, and created a large-scale crossbow that could be used on the battlefield. The Song Army called it the bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow. The Liannu is much larger, and one crossbow machine can be loaded with two or three bows. Using the combined force of multiple bows to launch arrows, the strength is far better than that of the Zhuge Liannu. After the first battle of Gaoliang River, the Song army was unable to compete with the Liao army. The front of the field battle is to take a defensive position when fighting. This bed crossbow showed its power and killed countless generals and soldiers of the Liao army. Among the famous generals who died under the bed crossbow, the most famous one was Xiao Talin .

"It was during the Battle of Chanyuan. Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom brought the little emperor to lead the army, and took Xiao Talin as the commander of the whole army. This man was brave and wise, and he made a plan before sending out troops. The assembled Dingzhou formation entangled, but bypassed Dingzhou and went straight to Bianliang. In order to confuse the Song army, the main force of the Liao army was led by Empress Dowager Xiao to push forward, and Xiao Talin led a forward force to bypass Dingzhou and go straight to Bianliang. Go to Bianliang. The Song army really fell into the trap at the beginning of the Song Dynasty and gathered heavy troops in Quanzhou. Unexpectedly, Xiao Talin's troops suddenly appeared under the city of Chanzhou.

"Chanzhou is not far from Bianliang. If this city is lost, Bianliang's gate will be wide open and it will be impossible to defend it. The Song general who defended the city saw the Liao army suddenly appearing under the city, and hurriedly defended the city with all his strength. Xiao Talin wanted to break through Chan as soon as possible. Zhou, opened the gate to Bianliang, and led the generals to watch the movement of the Song army defending the city outside the city of Chanzhou. However, although Xiao Talin was arrogant, he was not so mad that he wanted to become the target of the Song army's bow and arrow. Therefore His position is far beyond the range of the Song Army's bow and arrow. It's just that he didn't expect the Song Army to have a bed crossbow in Chanyuan City. The range is three times longer than that of the bow and arrow, and the lethality is even more amazing. The general was spying outside the city, and immediately fired the bed crossbow at Xiao Talin from the top of the city.

"Xiao Darin thought that his position was beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and that he was protected by shield soldiers on the side facing the Song army, so he thought he was safe. But unexpectedly, after the Song army's bed crossbow was launched, Xiao Darin, who was in front of the generals, became a bed guard. The target of the crossbow. A crossbow arrow directly hit Xiao Dalin's horse. When he fell from the horse, he was hit by the crossbow in the ribs. However, this man was extremely fierce. After falling to the ground, he struggled to stand up and threw the crossbow from the The ribs were pulled out, and he threw it on the ground. But in the blink of an eye, the third crossbow hit his head again. The bed crossbow was amazingly powerful. Although Xiao Darin had an iron helmet to protect his head, the But the crossbow pierced through the top of the helmet and pierced his head. Xiao Darin couldn't support himself and fell to the ground. The generals were shocked and snatched him back. However, Xiao Darin was seriously injured and died that night In the camp. The Song army knew that the commander of the Liao army died under the crossbow, and took advantage of the situation to attack the city. The Liao army lost its chief general, but according to the rules of the Liao army, it was not allowed to retreat without receiving the order of the general. Therefore, although the Liao army was in a state of chaos, it still did not If they dared to retreat, they had to fight to the death with the Song army. But without the command of the commander, the Liao army collapsed across the board, and most of the forward troops died in battle.

"Then Empress Dowager Xiao and the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom led the main force of the Liao Army to the battlefield. However, Xiao Darin was a general in the Liao Army as famous as Yelu Xiezhen, and also the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom. He was known for his bravery and was known as the courage of the army. He died under the bed crossbow of the Song army, and the whole Liao army was shaken. Empress Dowager Xiao personally helped him, wept bitterly, and stopped for five days. The morale of the Liao army was therefore low. Although they gathered heavy troops under the city of Chanyuan, they had no generals. Dare to lead an army to attack the city, but most of them were afraid of the power of the bed crossbow. Later, Kou Zhun accompanied Song Zhenzong to Chanyuan City, and the Song army from all walks of life gathered in large numbers, and Song army appeared behind the Liao army. Empress Dowager Xiao had to give up the attempt to march south , signed the Chanyuan Alliance with the Song State and ended. Since then, there has been no war between Song and Liao, and peace has been maintained for a hundred years.

Taoist Qingfeng said: "The sword can kill, but it can also save people. It's just that the number of people saved by the sword is only a small number. This bed crossbow has saved countless lives in one battle. It's really good."

Li Qiufeng nodded and said: "The Taoist priest is right. After the fall of the Song Dynasty, this bed crossbow fell into the hands of the Mongolian Yuan army. When the Yuan army marched westward, they got a lot of power from this bed crossbow. It's just that Meng Yuan was brutal, although They won the world, but they didn’t sit for a few years. Most of the bed crossbows built by the Yuan army were transported to the Western Regions, and very few remained in the Central Plains. Moreover, when the Yuan army built the bed crossbows, they relied entirely on the Chinese artisans who were captured by them. These craftsmen miss their homeland, and most of them are unwilling to make weapons for the Yuan army to massacre their compatriots. Even if they are built, they are not as powerful as the bed crossbow used by the Song army. Later, the bed crossbow in the hands of the Yuan army has already It has become a decoration, completely useless.

"Emperor Taizu also obtained several bed crossbows after driving Meng Yuan away. However, they were too rotten at that time and could not be used much. Afterwards, Emperor Chengzu repeatedly sent troops to the north and ordered skilled craftsmen to build bed crossbows. For a long time, although a few of them were barely made, they were not as powerful as the real bed crossbows. After Emperor Yingzong hunted north, the Oirat army marched southward and surrounded Beijing. Yu Shaobao led a large army to guard Beijing, and he also kept Emperor Chengzu The bed crossbow under the bed was erected on the city wall to resist the Tartar soldiers, but the lethality was greatly reduced, and it did not play any role."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "It's just that I didn't expect to see a real bed crossbow in this mountainside today."

Everyone looked at the crossbow bolt lying on the ground, they didn't expect this thing to have such a history, and everyone was full of thoughts.Deng Yao said: "Hero Li, if you say this is the bed crossbow, it must have been made by Yao Guangxiao. Since he knows how to make it, why didn't he dedicate it to Emperor Chengzu?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "I don't know about that either. Yao Guangxiao's behavior is very strange. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have thought that he actually built such a majestic city in the middle of the mountain?"

Just now Situ Qiao accidentally touched the organ, he was shocked and angry, but more ashamed.He has always thought that his ability to organize information is unparalleled in the world, but he fell into a trap, causing the mechanism to activate and almost killing everyone.Although everyone didn't blame him, the annoyance in their hearts became heavier and heavier.At this moment, he just wanted to show his means and save the face he lost just now, so he didn't want to delay here any longer.He said to Li Qiufeng: "Although Yao Guangxiao's bed crossbow is powerful, it's nothing special. Let's move on, open the city gate, and see if we can find a secret road leading to the outside of the mountain."

At this time, everyone was in a state of shock, but seeing how powerful the bed crossbow was, if they entered the city, they might encounter even more lethal traps.Therefore, the fear in everyone's heart was even greater. After listening to Situ Qiao's words, no one answered for a while.

Liu Yong said: "We were careless for a while, and we almost got caught. It's just that although this bed crossbow is powerful, as long as we are careful, it will be fine. Now that we have arrived here, we can only advance but not retreat. If not How can we survive PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with this determination?"

Seeing that Liu Yong was determined to move forward, everyone nodded in agreement.Li Qiufeng looked at the three family members of Zhu who were still lying on the ground, and thought to himself: "Brother Zhu has been poisoned, and his life and death are unknown. If we take him with us, it will be very inappropriate. We just leave him here and leave him alone. But it's absolutely impossible. This, what can I do?"

At this moment, Zhu Sanjia groaned and slowly opened his eyes.Li Qiufeng rushed to him and squatted down, and asked anxiously: "Brother Zhu, can you hear me?"

Zhu Sanjia squeezed out a smile, and said in a trembling voice: "I can hear it. I heard everything you said just now. It's just that I can't open my eyes, as if someone pinched my eyelids, but it's much better now. "

Hearing what he said, Li Qiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.Liu Yong stepped forward and said to Li Qiufeng: "It seems that the detoxification pills of the Huashan school are still effective for the severe poison that Mr. Zhu suffered. Don't worry, brother Li. We will support Mr. Zhu to move forward, and we will never throw him away." Never mind."

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan would protect the Zhu family, and Situ Qiao and Liu Yong would lead the way.Since Situ Qiao accidentally stepped on the trap just now, Liu Yong repeatedly reminded everyone to be careful when walking.If there is another surprise attack, everyone will form a circle and protect Zhu Sanjia in the middle.

Everyone moved forward again, and Li Qiufeng told Zhu Sanjia what happened just now.Zhu Sanjia was surprised: "So there are still bed crossbows hidden here! When I was a soldier in Xuanfu and Datong, I saw several bed crossbows, but they were gorgeous in appearance, but they were unusable. The range was only two to three hundred steps away. , often fall in the middle of the shot, and the lethality is extremely low. It can only be placed on the city to scare people, and it is useless."

When he said this, he frowned, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Yao Guangxiao is the mastermind of King Yan, and this cave was built before King Yan raised his troops. It stands to reason that since Yao Guangxiao already knew how to build a bed crossbow, he should build it It was handed over to King Yan’s army. It’s just that it’s never heard that King Yan used the Bed Crossbow in the Battle of Jingnan. The Yingzong’s army defeated the Tumu Castle, and the Ming Dynasty was almost in danger of overthrowing. It was never heard that the Bed Crossbow was big in the defense of Beijing. Showing off its power. Apparently the Ming army has never used the bed crossbow as a weapon. This is strange, Yao Guangxiao secretly hid this powerful weapon, what on earth is he going to do?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, but a terrible thought slowly came out of his heart.After a while, he and Zhu Sanjia's gazes met, and they said in unison, "Usurperation?!"
