To the north of Qingcang City in Liuzhou, Beimang Qianfeng has arrived at the antique beach, this place is one of a series of passes built by the soldiers and horses of the Dafeng Dynasty at its peak, and the military grain is reserved, which is used to use the troops to suppress Rong Di at this time, but at this time it has already become a ruin site that is only for the literati to write poems and hang the ancients, the outline of the low city wall built with quicksand, scattered stones and red wicker reeds in the early years is still faintly visible, and the higher ditch on both sides of the city wall has already been flattened by the wind and sand year after year, Merchants who traveled between Beiliang and the Western Regions could occasionally pick up some antiquities such as broken arrowheads, broken knives and copper coins here, so there was the saying of Antique Beach. chapter General Liu Jue's handsome tent is stationed on the north shore of a small lake in the antique beach, in addition to many skilled military masters around the tent, there are also more than ten famous people in the Beimang rivers and lakes, in fact, not only the border marshal Liu Jue has this honor, any border general will have such a small handful of reckless heroes around him, in case of accidents, the big war is imminent, if the Beiliang martial arts master comes to a thousand army to take the general's head, let the Liyang court watching the fire from the other side make fun of it, not to mention, it will damage the heart of the Beimang army.
However, Liu Jue is obviously a very special one among those powerful generals of the Southern Dynasty, otherwise he would not be praised as half Xu Xiao by the Empress of Beimang, so Shuai Tent has a large number of personal guards and subordinates for assassination , There is a more hidden group of "hermits", everyone is out of the dust, living in a simple place, these strange characters with withered faces are Wangqi people, most of them are from the Spring and Autumn Period, and they are always superior to the Hao Lord's lineage in Beimang, and the former ruler of the noble Aquarius Prefecture was killed by mistake and exiled to the extremely cold place thousands of miles away.
After the general Liu Jue led the army to the antique beach, Liu Jue himself was nothing unusual, he should eat and sleep, and the military orders were passed out in an orderly manner, and he would even ride a horse to the front line to check the situation, which made those Qi warriors and masters very nervous one by one, for fear that the young and natural and very vigorous King of Beiliang would raid the military camp in anger, and their lives were worth no matter how valuable they were, there was no way to compare with General Liu, who didn't know that Liu Qi was one of the best candidates for the commander of the Central Plains in His Majesty's mind, the position is even far ahead of Yang Yuanzan, who is also a general, and several major Southern Dynasties.
Liu Jue was squatting alone on the edge of the lake at this time today, and the abnormal movement of the dragon elephant iron horse had already been reported to the Shuai tent, and several confidants and generals suggested that they take this opportunity to move south in one fell swoop and set foot on the Qingcang City, which was under-armed.
Liu Jue didn't agree, thinking of the bloodthirsty brilliance that those young people were most familiar with in their eyes at that time, Liu Jue couldn't help but smile, young and good, even life and death are not a big deal, but an old guy like him who can lie on the military merit book and enjoy happiness is more and more desperate for his life.
However, Liu Jue, who has not yet been in the twilight, spares his life, and is not afraid of losing or dying, but Liuzhou is not in his eyes, let alone a small Qingcang City that has nothing to do with the overall situation.
Previously, Dong Fatzi hid and tucked away, and made a series of fancy actions on the border that even his own people would be blinded, but now he finally showed some fangs, even if he was assigned to Liuzhou and was destined to only do some icing on the cake, Liu Jue was not very annoyed, after all, Liu Jue's eyes had taken a fancy to a large piece of fat meat that was more attractive than the barren Beiliang from the beginning, the Central Plains.
Liu Jue muttered to himself: "When I was young, I read a sentence in idle books, calling the rich and noble not to return to their hometowns like walking at night, and now the older I get, the deeper I feel." ” Liu Jue suddenly thought of something, and laughed at himself, the saying that His Majesty Chrysostom opened "half Xu Xiao" back then is really a mixed bag, and the benefit is naturally to make himself famous in the Southern Dynasty army, as for the disadvantages, now it is beginning to appear, I heard that the 30,000 dragon elephant cavalry army did not need the commander to speak at all, so they all spontaneously wanted to cut off their heads as urinals.
Liu Jue subconsciously touched his neck, and his old friend sent a letter a few days ago, which ridiculed him Yang Yuanzan was far less expensive than General Liu's head.
Liu Jue heard a rush of shouts behind him, stood up and turned to look, the three of them trotted over, there was Lin Fu, the new leader of the black fox fence, and a master from the chess and sword Lefu, and the leader of the Wangqi warriors under his command, the last one looked panicked, and quickly approached and said: "General, we see that there is a gas coming from the east, and the target is the handsome tent, if there is no big accident, it should be the king of Beiliang himself to the latest three incense sticks."
Liu Jue was stunned for a moment, but he knew very well that Dong Zhuo was about to make a big move in the north of the two states, and asked with a smile: "Then the King of Northern Liang is crazy" Lin Fu said helplessly: "My general, when is this time, it doesn't matter if he Xu Fengnian is in the water, let's quickly arrange the defense line, this kind of top martial arts master breaks the formation alone, if you really want to make a move against the general, it really should not be underestimated." ” Liu Jue's expression remained unchanged, but in the end, he was not so arrogant and conceited that he waited for the first person in the world to kill him, and said indifferently: "Lin Fu, pass the order, the Chinese army will turn east, and then let Huyan Keqin and Yelu Zongtang each lead five hundred pro-army fast horses and light horses, and line up on the left and right wings, and you will receive another hundred and eighty black fox fences, and act when the opportunity arises."
As for the private army of the royal court, let them arrange it by themselves, and they are more experienced in dealing with the masters of the rivers and lakes. ” Lin Fu asked in a low voice, "There is no need to put two hundred heavy horses at the front of the battle array."
Liu Jue glared and said: "Not to mention whether the two hundred heavy horses can slightly block the footsteps of the King of Beiliang, even if they can be blocked, there will be a few horses left afterwards, you are not distressed, I am still distressed" Lin Fu smiled, didn't dare to make up his own mind, and quickly turned around and ran away to dispatch troops.
Liu Qi walked side by side with the white-clothed qi practitioner and the master of chess and sword Yuefu, and the qi practitioner seemed to be infected by the general's imminent danger, and no longer panicked before, and said softly: "General, please rest assured, the six hundred well-trained people that His Majesty gave him earlier are of little significance if they are used to trap and kill the enemy, but it can be said that it is specifically aimed at this kind of single-handed martial arts, which can be called targeted."
Although the King of Beiliang is indeed amazingly powerful, I believe that it is not so strong that it is not strong."
Liu Jue took over the conversation with a smile: "Killing people is like picking up things, right?"
The qi practitioner looked a little embarrassed, and Liu Qi said calmly: "Although I don't know the depth of that Xu Fengnian, I think that if he really wants to burn the jade, it is not difficult to kill me Liu Qi, the difficulty is only how to get out of his body."
The reason why he is crazy is not that he Xu Fengnian knew that he couldn't do it, but that he felt that he couldn't exchange the life of King Beiliang for my Liu Jue's life, no matter how it was calculated. ” Liu Jue smiled: "I'm very relieved, and you should also rest assured, our Taiping Order is a last resort, and there may not be no backhand in secret." ” The swordsman from the Chess Sword Paradise smiled heartily.
After about a half-stick of incense, an eye-opening army appeared in front of Liu Jue's army.
The number was no more than six hundred, but every soldier who was called a material officer in the Beimang army was unusually burly and strong, and everyone had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his long arms were like apes.
Beiliang has many strong crossbows, and Beimang has many strong bows, which is a well-known fact in the world.
But at this moment, there was a crossbow formation in front of Liu Jue's army.
What is even more daunting is that there is not a single light crossbow in this battle array, and even the waist crossbow is only a few, and more of the kind of large-bed crossbow and cloud-piercing crossbow that can be used for siege and defense of the city That cloud-piercing ballista needed to be controlled by twelve material officers, and fifty crossbow arrows were stored, and each crossbow arrow was three feet long, no different from a sword.
And the tip of the arrow is quenched with green poison Empress Murong of Beimang "recruited" the forces of the rivers and lakes at the beginning, but it was not something that could be done just by talking about it, it was this thing that made a miraculous feat, crushing the unruly sect gangs one after another.
Within two hundred steps, when a crossbow arrow shot out, it was claimed to be equivalent to the full force of the second-grade grandmaster's blow.
If that statement wasn't enough to describe the horror of the Big Bed Crossbow and the Cloud-Piercing Ballista, there's an even more sensational one.
Within a hundred steps, a crossbow arrow is a flying sword These crossbows, at the cost of abandoning their original uses, were built and maintained with a lot of money, in exchange for the famous words of Her Majesty the Empress, "The people of the rivers and lakes are not willing to bounce in the rivers and lakes obediently, then I will skewer you into a sugar gourd."
On the battlefield, if you are really targeted to death by this crossbow on a large scale, and you do not hesitate to injure your own soldiers by mistake, how can a brave 10,000-strong enemy survive a hundred battles and live a long life Liu Jue was heavily guarded at the back of the army, did not deliberately put on golden armor, nor did he set up an eye-catching banner, looked straight ahead, squinted his eyes and did not speak.
A general beside the general hurriedly said: "The decision to win or defeat is actually between two hundred and fifty paces, and the three crossbow arrows can't even be used to achieve success if the final strength is like the flying sword of an immortal, and the person breaks into the army, and the crossbow turns around again, most of the time it's too late." ” Liu Jue pointed to the crossbow array in front of him that was constantly changing its formation slightly under the instructions of the qi practitioners, shook his head and smiled: "Then you are too underestimate these qi practitioners and material officer giant crossbows, take a closer look at the width and thickness of the crossbow array, you can know that the attack direction of the crossbow arrows is not a horizontal line or several lines, but is determined to shoot a whole huge fan of arrow rain in the longitudinal direction."
Even if that person can't break the formation in a straight line, these big crossbows can be dealt with in battle under the command of a qi practitioner.
The power of the crossbow arrows themselves is indeed terrifying, but what is even more terrifying are these qi practitioners and material officers who have been prepared from the beginning. ” The general said with emotion: "It's no wonder that our rivers and lakes in Beimang are not as angry as those in Liyang." ” Liu Jue sneered: "What do the rivers and lakes want to do so much, a group of reckless men who only know how to violate the ban with martial arts, and there is little righteousness in their eyes.
I dare to assert that in the future, when I step into the hinterland of the Central Plains towards the iron hoof, there will be more masters of the Liyang rivers and lakes who will help us kill people, and maybe we will do our best to kill people than our Beimang army."
Liu Jue suddenly stopped speaking, and a little dazzling purple appeared in the farthest part of the old man's field of vision.
The general on his side gasped and said in a trembling voice: "It's really here."
Liu Jue subconsciously raised his arm to give orders, and after putting down his arm, his expression was complicated for a while, and he said to himself: "It is worthy of Xu Xiao's seed." ” The purple qi came from the east, and it didn't stop at all.
There was a loud bang in the crossbow array.
The crossbow bolts burst through the air.
Almost at the same time, a second rapid rain of arrows sprinkled into the air and pierced the purple qi.
In an instant, with the location of the crossbow array as the fulcrum, the fan surface was wide open, and hundreds of crossbow arrows were shot out that seemed to form fan bones, half of which were tantamount to the sword of an immortal But after the blink of an eye, the purple qi swept through the sky without any pause, and continued to go west, disappearing in a flash.
It just disappeared above the head of Liu Jue's army Liu Jue, who was facing the army with his back, moved a small step at some point, his face was gloomy, and he reached out to casually remove the corpse of the swordsman in front of him, and looked to the west.
A crossbow arrow pierced the corpse's chest and was nailed into the ground at Liu Jue's feet, so that the tail of the arrow could not even be seen.
Ignoring the escort shouts around him who were even more panicked in hindsight, the indifferent Liu Qipi smiled and said, "It's a good one to come and not be rude." ”u “”:
