The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Chapter 1960 Miss Liu walks into a trap

"General Lin, the Han army actually has armor-piercing arrows. If we attack head-on, there will be heavy casualties!" Liu Yu said with a worried look on his face.

Lin Yongpeng said: "Although the armor-piercing arrows are extremely sharp, the Han army's archers are not strong enough after all. They can only penetrate two layers of shields at most, and they can't penetrate too much..."

Liu Yu was stunned: "General, do you mean that each soldier should carry two shields?"

"That's right! Let's prepare for both situations. First, send a thousand men to charge at the city gate, each holding a double shield. At the same time, we should hurry up and test the power of the Han army's armor-piercing arrows!"

Liu Yu was a little puzzled: "How do we measure their armor-piercing arrows?"

Lin Yongpeng signaled a Song soldier to hand him a lasso. After taking the lasso, Lin Yongpeng dismounted and ran towards the direction of the city!

Liu Yu was shocked, "Protect the coach!"

Dozens of soldiers around followed suit!
Lin Yongpeng said: "They haven't sent out any troops, why are you here? Go back!"

All the soldiers stopped!
When Lin Yongpeng rushed to a distance of eighty feet outside the city, he was just close to the bodies of four Song Dynasty cavalrymen. He shook the long rope and caught an armor-piercing arrow. When he pulled back, the Han army's armor-piercing arrow was already in his hands!

Whoosh! A feather arrow shot down from the top of the city wall. Lin Yongpeng slightly turned his body, and the arrow missed. It flew to his feet and sank into the ground, leaving only the feathers. Lin Yongpeng picked it up immediately!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The arrows shot from the top of the city wall were endless. Lin Yongpeng dodged left and right, grabbed five or six arrows and retreated in a hurry!

He dare not be too greedy!
Because he didn't dare to bet whether Liu Miezhou was on the top of the city! Although it was unlikely that the king of a country would guard the top of the city, what if Liu Miezhou was really on the top of the city? The successive failures of the Han army archers were very likely to lead Liu Miezhou to take action himself!

Lin Yongpeng knew that Liu Miezhou had the peerless divine bow and spiritual treasure bow in his hand! If he was locked by him, he would definitely die!

So quit while you’re ahead!
After he retreated back to the formation, he immediately handed the eight armor-piercing arrows in his hand to Liu Yu, "Let them test it, from double shields to five shields, one by one, to see how many they can penetrate!"

Liu Yu said: "Yes!" and immediately turned and left. He wanted to supervise it personally!
Yang Ye slapped the wall on the top of the city wall and said angrily: "It's bad!"

The Han soldier next to him asked, "What's wrong, General?"

Yang Ye sighed: "They took our armor-piercing arrows!"

"Why did they take our armor-piercing arrows?"

"Of course, we are researching and testing its destructive power!"

The soldier was not stupid, and immediately thought of the key point: "So, they want to study the corresponding shield armor to improve the defense strength?"

Yang Ye said: "That's right! I have to report to the emperor immediately!"

Liu had issued an edict to destroy Zhou. Now was a special period. Although the emperor was the Son of Heaven, he should live and die with the people. He lived in the temporary barracks in the city, ready to go into battle at any time! Therefore, Yang Ye did not dare to delay the military situation and immediately went to the temporary barracks to report.

The lights were on in the temporary tent.

Liu Miezhou, Yelu Xizhen, and Li Deming were all present. The three of them sat around a low table, surrounded by Eunuch Zhou, the masters of the Han Palace, Yelu Kang, Li Qiangang, Murong Yunlong, and others.

Liu Miezhou said: "The Song army will surely attack the city tonight. They will most likely use firearms to block explosives under the city gates, and then take the opportunity to detonate and destroy the city gates. Once the city gates are blown open, the Song army will surely fight to the death! When the time comes, I will trouble General Yelu and Lord Li to provide support and coordination with the cavalry and give them a counterattack!"

Yelu Xizhen said: "No problem! The Song army's mobility is not as good as our cavalry. As long as they don't enter the city, they will be lambs to be slaughtered!" Once the Song army entered the city, the battle between the two sides was basically a street fight. The battlefield was not wide enough, and the Liao army's cavalry lost the advantage of galloping across the city!

Li Deming said with some shame: "Yes!" He drank a lot yesterday and was drunk for a whole day! Some Han army generals talked about it behind his back, saying "the front is tight, the back is tight", full of sarcasm!

Murong Yunlong heard it clearly. Although he was angry, he didn't dare to do anything to those who talked behind his back! After all, this is the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty! Especially the power of Liu Mie Zhou, Murong Yunlong has experienced it the most! How dare he act rashly? He could only quietly tell Li Deming about these criticisms.

Li Deming was naturally speechless.

He came to Northern Han naturally to form an alliance, but he didn't expect that the purple-clothed man Liu Miezhou he met on the way would overthrow the Northern Han regime overnight, and the former emperor Liu Jiyuan actually abdicated and became an idle prince!
Yesterday, Liu Jiyuan hosted a banquet for him, so he couldn't refuse. Of course, he had already informed Liu Miezhou in advance. Liu Miezhou naturally wanted to show his magnanimity and readily agreed to the two of them getting together. Under his nose, could Liu Jiyuan still come up with something fancy?
It turned out that the two of them were just drinking. Liu Jiyuan had lost his power and was at the bottom of his depression. Once the alcohol started to take effect, he couldn't stop. He drank more and more, and finally forced Li Deming to drink a lot.

"Report! General Yang Ye wants to see you!"

"Let him in!"

Yang Ye entered the tent and was about to kneel down, but Liu Miezhou said, "No need to be polite! What's the urgent matter, Lord Yang?"

Yang Ye said: "Lin Yongpeng took away about ten of our armor-piercing arrows. I suspect they are trying to figure out how to crack them!"

Liu Miezhou said: "It doesn't matter! The method of cracking it is not something that can be thought of overnight! Even if it can be thought of, it will not be implemented in a short time! To crack the crossbow arrows, it is nothing more than strengthening the defense of the armor and shield! In the short term, they simply cannot develop a stronger armor and shield, so the most they can do is to stack the existing shields! As for armor, there is no way to wear an extra layer!"

Yelu Kang said: "That's right! They can't increase the thickness of their armor, so they can only use the stupid method of stacking shields to resist the rain of arrows!"

Liu Miezhou said: "If my guess is correct, they are testing the armor-piercing arrows to test how many layers of their shields our armor-piercing arrows can penetrate! The more shields you stack, the stronger your defense will be. However, there is also a disadvantage. The more shields you have, the harder it is to carry. The increased weight affects your mobility. So they want to test the minimum number of shields you stack!"

At this time, Eunuch Zhou said, "Your Majesty, I asked someone to test it. Our arrows can penetrate one layer of shield without any problem, and the remaining force can penetrate three inches into the wood! Two layers of shields can still be broken, but the arrow body is stuck on the shield, and the arrow shaft is about five inches long through the shield!"

Yang Ye gestured in the air, "Five inches, about this long. The shield is still about one foot away from the body, so two shields are enough to block the attack of the armor-piercing arrows!"

A shadow was cast over everyone's heart!
If two layers of shields could block a rain of arrows, wouldn't the Song army be unstoppable if they launched an attack?
Liu Miezhou said: "General Yang, immediately select soldiers with excellent archery skills to expand the crossbow battalion! The selection criteria should not be too rigid, and those who can hit eight out of ten shots will be considered good soldiers!"

Yang Ye understood that if the standards were too strict, no one would be selected!
"Yes!"

Yelu Xizhen frowned and said, "It seems that simply increasing the number of archers will not be of much use, right?"

Liu Miezhou said: "General Yang, pass it on. If the Song army attacks the city with shields, ask the best archers to aim at the handles of the Song army's shields!"

Yelu Xizhen's eyes lit up: "Just shoot at the shield handles. This way, no matter how many layers of shields there are, as long as the handles are damaged or the palms of the Song soldiers are injured, it is equivalent to smashing the turtle shells of the Song soldiers. Then those archers with lesser archery skills can aim at these turtles without turtle shells and shoot. Hehe, it's simply amazing!"

Yang Ye also said excitedly: "Yes! This is the case of a single move affecting the entire body, brilliant!"

Liu Miezhou said: "When shooting at the handle, if one arrow doesn't work, shoot two arrows, if two arrows don't work, shoot three arrows, until the Song soldier drops his shield!"

Yang Ye said: "Yes! I will go and select archers right away!"

Under the city, the Song army was in formation. The sound of horse hooves came from far away, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Yu rode his horse and rushed in front of Lin Yongpeng who was riding a white horse!

"General Lin, the test results are out. The Han army's armor-piercing arrows can break two layers of shields with one arrow, but not three layers of shields! The arrow tip can protrude about five inches from a double-layer shield, so it can't hurt the infantry!"

Lin Yongpeng said: "Okay! Immediately gather 6,000 shields and organize 3,000 death squads to charge. The target is the Jinyang city gate. Place explosives. Once the mission is completed, retreat immediately. Don't fight to the end!"

Liu Yu said: "Yes! Arrange it immediately!"

The moon is round and the breeze is cool.

The Song army camp moved intensively but silently. Three thousand brave warriors had assembled and were distributing shields and explosives!

Thousands of other people helped to modify the shields. Stacking two shields together was not a one-step process. Instead, the handle of one shield had to be removed so that the two shields could fit as closely as possible, and then they were tied and secured with wire.

When attacking from a distance, you must be fast and fight a blitzkrieg, not a war of attrition! If there is enough time, the shields should be welded together again with molten iron, but time waits for no one! By the time the shields were welded, two days and two nights had passed!

As long as the Song army does not take the initiative, it will create opportunities for the Khitan and Western Xia cavalry to launch sneak attacks!

In this flat wilderness and the slightly sloping Erlong Hill, the Song army had no way to retreat! Now their biggest reliance was the 500 musketeers and 3,000 armor-piercing soldiers!
But the Han army now also has armor-piercing arrows! As one side gains, the other loses, and the advantage is gone! Once the advantage of firearms is offset, the opponent's cavalry advantage will be highlighted again, which will cause a crushing trend on the Song army's infantry!

Therefore, they launched an attack while the Han army was not fully prepared, forcing them to be in a passive position and being beaten. Then the Song army would have the initiative!

Fighting is like giving up chess. As long as you make the first move, the opponent must think twice before following! The more unreasonable your moves are, the more clueless the opponent will be!

Lin Yongpeng's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "In another quarter of an hour, prepare to attack!"

In the Liu Mansion in Diexi Town, the entire house is brightly lit.

Deep inside the inner house, in a bedroom, a woman in luxurious clothes sat on a golden nanmu chair, coldly looking at the man in brocade robe standing in front of her, "I told you in advance that I have a distinguished guest at my house today and you can't go out. Why did you go out?"

The man smiled and said, "Madam, I was just curious and wanted to see the excitement."

The woman in gorgeous clothes was about twenty years old and looked very similar to Liu's father and son. She said to the maid standing at the door, "Watch the son-in-law and don't tell him to move!" Then she walked out.

The man in brocade robes smiled and asked, "Madam, where are you going?"

The lady in gorgeous clothes said, "Of course I asked Dr. Xue to feel my pulse! I asked him to tell me why I am not pregnant yet!"

"I go with you?"

"no!"

The man in brocade clothes had no choice but to give up.

After the gorgeously dressed woman walked away, the brocade-dressed man smiled at the maidservant and said, "Slave Jian, our chance has come!" The maidservant Jian Nu looked outside and saw that there were no strangers waiting. She immediately threw herself into the arms of the brocade-dressed man and said excitedly, "Sir, are you telling the truth?"

"it is true!"

"That's great! You've suffered so much this past year!"

"I don't suffer! It's my honor to marry into the Liu family! You are the one who suffers! You were sold to the Liu family since you were young and suffered torture..."

"Sir, are you saying that we can elope today?"

"Elope? Hey, we're not eloping!"

The sword slave was startled, and looked at the man in brocade clothes infatuatedly, "Not eloping anymore?"

The man's brows showed a hint of viciousness: "I just went out on purpose, and the nemesis of the Liu family is here! As long as we hide well, when dawn comes tomorrow, we will be the only two left in the entire Liu family!"

"Ah?" Jian Nu was shocked! She immediately asked, "Liu family's nemesis? Who is that?"

The man in brocade clothes laughed and said, "That man's surname is Feng! The eldest young master of the Liu family, Liu Changfeng, died in his hands!"

"Ah? Why did Mr. Feng come to our house this time? Isn't he afraid that the Liu family will retaliate against him? After all, this is the Liu family's territory!"

"Hmph!" The man in brocade clothes laughed strangely, "What's the point of the Liu family? If he didn't come, I would have to endure for a while before taking action. But now that he's here, it saves me a lot of trouble!"

Jian Nu seemed to not recognize the man in front of her. The heat and ambition in the man's eyes were completely beyond her understanding!

The man looked at the delicate body in his arms and said softly, "I'll tell you the truth. I married into the Liu family not because I have no one to rely on, but because I was attracted by the Liu family's financial resources and connections!"

The sword slave said: "I can feel it!"

The man in brocade clothes looked into the sword slave's eyes affectionately and said, "Only in front of you do I take off all my disguises! I really don't want to stay in Diexi! What I want is the whole world!"

"what?"

"Anu, my last name is Zhu, I am the fifth child in the family, and people in Jianghu call me Mr. Zhu Wu!"

"Ah? You are Master Zhu Wu?"

"You, have you heard of me?"

"Of course! Everyone knows that the Four Young Masters of Wulin are famous all over the world! Moreover, you seem to be the only one of the Four Young Masters who is still alive!"

The only one still alive?
Zhu Wu suppressed his embarrassment and smiled: "You may have heard that I started hiding from place to place after my defeat in Southern Han. Since I came to this small border town, I have stopped my hurried steps! What surprised me is that there are so many rich people here! Especially the Liu family, they are rich enough to rival a country! When I encounter such a gold mountain, I naturally have to dig it up. I must not go into the treasure mountain empty-handed!"

"Then the encounter between the young lady and you was also a trap set by you, right?"

"Smart! Of course!" He scratched the tip of her nose!
Jian Nu smiled and said, "Then you will naturally win the young lady, marry into the Liu family, and become the Liu family's son-in-law, right?" There was no disdain in her eyes, only admiration!
"That's right! I have the title of Liu family's heir-in-law. Although it doesn't sound good, it is a legal identity after all! As long as all the people in the Liu family die, I will be the only heir!"

"But the Liu family is huge, with many branches. What if they come to seize the inheritance rights?"

"Hehe, then keep killing people! Whoever dares to fight with me will die! I don't believe that all the people in the Liu family are not afraid of death!"

"Hehe! I don't believe it either! If they see whoever fights will die, no one will dare to fight with you anymore! Unless they are blind!"

"that is!"

"So what do we do now? Hide?"

"Of course!"

"Where are you hiding?"

"Of course I left the house! As long as I stay in the house, I can't escape Feng's eyes! The dungeon of the Liu family, the operating room, there is no place that he will miss!"

"He... is he here specifically to cause trouble for the Liu family?"

"You can say that! The Liu family committed a big taboo and offended him!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Killing innocent people indiscriminately!"

"Just because the Liu family killed innocent people indiscriminately, the Feng family came to our house?"

"That's right! But it's not just this one thing! The Liu family has a tradition of dissecting living people, which is why the Feng family will never let them go! What the Liu family did is really outrageous, I am ashamed of myself!"

"So, this Feng guy is a good person!"

"Haha...I guess so!"

"Why do you say that? You don't seem very happy... Have you had a conflict with him?"

"Anu, in fact, I ran to this nameless town because of him!"

"Ah? Then...you also killed innocent people?"

"Anu, if I also kill innocent people indiscriminately, will you forgive me?"

The sword slave hesitated at this time, and then asked: "You mean in case? In other words, you haven't killed innocent people indiscriminately, right?"

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Okay, I was just kidding you! I don't care about killing innocent people!"

He knew that if he continued talking, Jian Nu would most likely really suspect that he was also a demon who killed innocent people indiscriminately. She would become afraid of him and distance herself from him!
He hasn't had enough fun with such a sweet girl yet, how can he just throw her away? !

Zhu Wu immediately coaxed her with a smile: "Come on, I'll take you out for a walk and see the moonlight."

The sword slave said in fascination: "Okay!"

Miss Liu stretched out her hand to push the door but failed to open it. She couldn't help feeling a little strange. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the bolt being pulled out from inside. She immediately pushed the door again and it opened easily!

As soon as she entered the room, she was stunned!
Everyone at the table in the room was sitting there motionless, like wax figures. They all saw her, but no one greeted her!
Among these people, besides the fourth brother, she also knew Li Xiuyuan, who had brought his daughter to the marriage proposal, and his six bodyguards. Of course, the divine doctor Xue, whom she had been thinking about, was also sitting there.

As for where were my father, my second brother, my third brother, and Mr. Yao? Especially where was Li Chan'er, the protagonist of the banquet?

Why is there a young man in white at the table?
She looked confused: "Who are you?"

Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Your eldest brother's friend! Who are you?"

The woman said, "I am Liu Ruyan, the fifth child of the Liu family."

"So it's Miss Liu Wu, I'm so sorry!"

Liu Ruyan frowned and said, "You haven't told me who you are yet?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I told you, I am your eldest brother's friend!"

Gou Ruyan immediately asked angrily: "What the hell is your name?"

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Your fourth brother said you were a famous tigress. Seeing you today, it really lived up to your reputation! You flew into a rage within three sentences!"

Liu Ruyan saw that Liu Canghai was a little strange, and couldn't help feeling a little strange. She walked up to him and shook his shoulder, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

She shook Liu Canghai's shoulders and immediately realized that her fourth brother seemed to have his acupuncture points sealed! Looking back at Doctor Xue, she saw dozens of blood spots between his chest and abdomen, and the bloodstains seemed to be expanding, as if he had been pierced by a fine needle!
The atmosphere is extremely weird!

She looked at the Six Azure Dragons again. The six of them looked embarrassed. "You were also acupunctured?"

Sweat was pouring down Qinglong's forehead, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head!
They also wanted to rush out just now, but unfortunately the surrounding air instantly became solid as if it were solid, trapping them tightly, as if they were under supreme pressure and could not move an inch!

The young man in white simply said: "Get back to your seats!" Everyone immediately returned to their seats!

Now that Miss Liu has fallen into the trap, everyone really doesn't know how to respond!

The bolt was actually inserted again!

Thank you Yudong for your strong support and encouragement!
