Volume 1 The First Entry into the Troubled Times Chapter 82 Killing Shi Zhen
In the early morning of the next day, Yuan Li took the soldiers and horses that had been prepared, and set off with Feng Mo and Yumo, and this time, Shangguan Yue also went with them.
When it came to the bamboo forest that Yuan Li led his troops to cut down yesterday, Yuan Li didn't say much, and directly ordered all the soldiers to be divided into ten groups, five groups to cut down, five groups to patrol, and change them every two hours. This is mainly because of the large number of soldiers dispatched with Yuan Li this time, even if they march in the dense forest, it is very easy to attract the attention of others, and the soldiers are sent to patrol to avoid those crossbowmen from secretly harassing or attacking.
Looking at the soldiers who were cutting down the bamboo forest, Yuan Li nodded, then found a piece of chopped bamboo, took out a piece of paper from his arms and spread it on it. Yumo and Feng Mo hurriedly came up to look at it and found that it was a drawing.
"Yuan Li, what are you doing here?"
"This is our magic weapon to defeat the enemy. I call it the Thorn of the Army. It is made by using these bamboos to make an item that resembles an arrow from a bow and crossbow, but this arrow will burst. There are two layers of this bamboo, the first layer is the shell we use to shoot, and the second layer is a lot of tiny arrows inside. When our crossbowmen shoot the bamboo, it looks like our arrows are still flying as before, but when the first flight is over, the shell of the bamboo will break and the tiny arrows will continue to scatter. According to my measurements, if the length of these small arrows were shot at the neck of the enemy, the enemy would be incapacitated immediately, if not killed. ”
"Is it really that amazing?" Yumo, who already had the Seven Star Sword, was naturally more interested in Yuan Li's drawings, and he took them in his hand and looked at them: "If what you said is true, then our crossbowmen are much more powerful than theirs." ”
"Yes, that's right. So, I need your help now to make my first sample from this drawing, and then let's try it out. ”
"No problem. Yumo took the drawings, walked into the bamboo forest and began to look for various materials, and then used the sword to adjust the various parts, and spliced them together according to the description on the drawings. Although the arrows on Yuan Li's drawings are not large, they are still quite troublesome to manufacture, and with the joint efforts of Yumo and Feng Mo, it took half an hour to complete the first army stab.
After the broken army thorn was made, Yumo directly took out the bow and crossbow that he usually shoots with seven-star arrows, put the broken army thorn on the string, pulled the bow, and released! The sound of the arrow penetrating was shocking, and in just a short moment, the broken army thorn had reached the distance that the ordinary crossbowmen of the feather sergeant could reach. Then, the thorns of the army cracked, and the small arrows contained in them scattered like countless silver needles, shooting into the surrounding trees.
Several people hurriedly ran to check, and several arrows were hit from a tree as thick as a neck, and the entire trunk of the tree had been cracked. Seeing such power, everyone was shocked, but Yuan Li stroked his palms and laughed: "Although this arrow is blessed by Yumo and your bow and crossbow, even if it is an ordinary soldier, the arrow shot is enough to pierce the neck of the enemy." ”
"Okay, Yuan Li, how could you make these things?" Feng Mo stepped forward and hugged Yuan Li's neck: "How did you know about the technique of mechanism?"
"When I was practicing medicine, I saved an old man. The old man gave me two books, one on the gossip of Qimen, and the other on the art of mechanism. ”
"Now that we have this broken thorn, why should we worry about the enemy's crossbowmen. However, I don't understand one thing, since we have this method, why don't we transfer all the soldiers and horses to do it, and let the old man wait there with some of the soldiers and horses?"
"Because, our soldiers and horses are enough to defeat the enemy's crossbowmen, and the soldiers and horses of the second prince, I have other uses. Feng Mo, please take a trip and rush back to the prince's army with this piece of paper. I estimate that it should take five days for all of these bamboos to become thorns. On the sixth day I will lead the army to attack, and on the night of the fifth day you will open the piece of paper I gave you and do what is written. ”
"What? You're the commander, listen to you. Feng Mo got on his horse and prepared to rush back to Tang Yuxiao's military camp: "Yumo, if there is any accident, you and him can come back alive." After speaking, Feng Mo patted the horse's body and rode away directly.
Shangguan Yue, who was silent on the side, walked up to those arrows and looked at them carefully, obviously she was also shocked by the power of the stabbing army. As a killer, it would be easier to complete the mission if you could have this weapon. But Shangguan Yue didn't look at the drawings, nor did she ask Yuan Li to break the military stab, because she knew that if she didn't tell her about her experience in the Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines, these people wouldn't believe her, and she wouldn't know about this kind of secret, so in order to avoid being bored, Shangguan Yue just stayed aside.
The felling of the bamboo forest went smoothly and no enemy troops came to harass it. After completing the task of felling, Yuan Li began to order the soldiers of each battalion to make weapons according to the broken army thorn made by Yumo, the ability of ordinary soldiers is still a lot worse than that of Yumo, basically all the broken army thorns made for the first time cannot be fired. After the second round of production, the situation improved, but Yuan Li was not in a hurry, he ordered the soldiers to be patient, if the production failed, just throw it away, and start over. Yuan Li's request is that no matter how many broken military thorns are left in the end, they must be the best, because this is related to his lover, so there is absolutely no omission.
Five days passed quickly, Yuan Li and the soldiers also made about 10,000 pieces of broken thorns, because it was a consumable, so Yuan Li did not let the soldiers test too much, he chose two thousand soldiers and horses, led by Yumo, each carrying five broken thorns, as the vanguard of the enemy crossbowmen to the area.
And Yuan Li himself followed behind with Shangguan Yue with the rest of the soldiers and horses, which Shangguan Yue did not expect, and now Yuan Li completely handed over his life and safety to Shangguan Yue's protection, Shangguan Yue was happy on the one hand, but also doubted: Did he already remember?
The Yumo troops soon entered the sphere of influence of the enemy crossbowmen, and soon, an enemy unit appeared in front of the Yang Yu army, and the real confrontation was about to break out from now on.
"Listen to my orders!" Yumo walked in front of him, took out an ordinary arrow, and put it on top of the Seven Star Bow, "Take the bow, prepare, release!" The arrow in Yumo's hand roared out, directly piercing the surrounding air, and flew directly towards the enemy general who was laughing on the other side, and he was still laughing at his subordinates Yang Yu's troops stopped so far away, and it was impossible for arrows to fly over at that distance.
Bang! The arrow directly pierced the head of the enemy general, the enemy general's eyes widened, as if he didn't expect this kind of thing, but the next thing made him even more unexpected, countless bamboo arrows flew in, and when they were still some distance away, they could already see that those bamboos had no strength to continue flying, the enemy general laughed, it seemed that the situation was still their advantage, the enemy general closed his eyes with satisfaction, and his body fell straight to the ground.
But then, countless bamboos suddenly exploded, and a large number of small arrows came quickly, and the enemy crossbowmen did not have time to react, and they were killed by those arrows. The surviving crossbowmen also knew that their proudest firing distance had been defeated, and now they had to flee.
Seeing the enemy troops scattering and fleeing, Yuan Li did not give the order to chase, this terrain, these enemy troops are much more familiar than them, if they rush to pursue, it is very easy for them to take advantage of the terrain and kill them. Yuan Li asked Yumo to lead the troops to make some simple repairs, and then continued to march towards the city in front, just now it was just some patrols, and when attacking the city, it was their real test.
After Yumo repaired the troops, he still led the army as a vanguard force, and after marching for half an hour, he saw that there was an enemy city about ten miles ahead. On the one hand, Yumo sent his own men to report to Yuan Liyu, and on the other hand, he led his troops to accelerate towards the city.
The last battle was too easy for Yumo to win, and it couldn't even be said to be a battle, but a one-sided crush, which made Yumo even more eager to see how much combat power these two thousand Broken Army assassins could have.
The troops in the city also quickly noticed the arrival of the enemy army, and when Yumo arrived near the city, a sturdy general with a spear in his hand was standing opposite with his soldiers and horses waiting for their arrival.
The general with the snake spear in his hand saw Yumo, stepped forward and took a step, dozens of meters away, Yumo felt that his feet seemed to tremble: "I am Shi Zhen, the general of Jinmu, what is the name of the enemy general?"
Yumo didn't answer Shi Zhen's question, he waved his hand directly, and the two thousand soldiers behind him immediately shot out a new round of broken army thorns, the shooting range of the broken army thorns obviously covered the enemy soldiers, and countless soldiers were shot directly without reacting, but Shi Zhen, who was standing at the forefront, did not react, and countless arrows hit him as if they were shooting on a rock, and the arrows did not penetrate but had already broken first.
"Despicable!" Shi Zhen looked at Yumo in front of him, waved the spear in his hand, and jumped his body to fight Yumo.
Yumo's Dust-Breaking Sword also shot at the same time, but when he first faced it, Yumo was still shocked by the huge force from Shi Zhen's spear and retreated again and again, this strength, Yumo felt that it was not inferior to the Sword Master of the Split Mountain Sword.
But although Shi Zhen's power is infinite, his attack is full of flaws, and the distance suppression of the spear has no effect on Yumo at all, and Yumo can always inadvertently find a suitable angle to attack Shi Zhen. But although Yumo's attack caught the flaw, it was almost between lightning and flint, and the power was not great, and it just hit the stone shock, just like hitting the hard stone, and it couldn't leave any wounds on the stone shock.
"Are you a hard body technique?" Yumo glanced at Shi Zhen, and the Sword Breaking Dust Sword just stopped Shi Zhen's attack.
"Yes, my master's hardware technique is a master, I have only learned a scratch of the surface, but it is more than enough to deal with you. ”
"Really?" Yumo sneered, using the Dust Breaking Sword and his own vigorous steps to constantly search for the gap in Shi Zhen's attack. Another swift stabbing blow, Shi Zhen's spear still pierced the air, and Yumo took advantage of the situation to turn over and jump directly behind Shi Zhen with Shi Zhen's shoulders. Shi Zhen saw that the situation was not good, and immediately used the hardware technique, and Yumo also discovered this, the dust breaking sword that was originally stabbed seemed to be infinitely powerful, but in fact it was just a false blow, the real attack was on his next palm blow, a seemingly soft palm blow, slowly smashed on Shi Zhen's waist, and after this blow, Shi Zhen, who was still proud, became very painful, covering his waist and abdomen and gently fell to the ground, and Yumo did not give Shi Zhen a rest, and the dust breaking sword was immediately drawn out, directly stabbing Shi Zhen's neck.
Bang! The roar of the metal impact, Yumo's blow was prevented by Shi Zhen's hardware technique, but Yumo followed up with a fluttering palm, which made Shi Zhen roar directly.
When the current Yumo was facing Shi Zhen, although the Dust Breaking Sword couldn't break Shi Zhen's hard body technique, the soft technique taught to him by the Dao Elder showed an effect. Overcoming rigidity with softness, a seemingly gentle blow can actually directly break through Shi Zhen's defense.
And if Shi Zhen doesn't use the hardware technique, the lethality of the soft technique may not be as obvious as this, but the chaotic and complex attacks of the Dust Breaking Sword, Shi Zhen can't resist, in the final analysis, it is still because Shi Zhen's attack is wrong, and Yumo can find a lot of opportunities and angles suitable for his own attacks. And once Yumo launched a counterattack, Shi Zhen entered the dilemma of whether to use the hardware technique.
Another sword! The Dust Breaking Sword slashed directly at Shi Zhen's body, and this time, a bloody streak appeared on the skin that was as hard as iron, and bright red blood oozed from it. Under Yumo's attack, Shi Zhen was finally defeated, and now he was unable to urge the hard body technique.
The pain of cracking his skin made Shi Zhen wail in pain, but Yumo didn't have any mercy, and the dust-breaking sword in his hand flew up and down, and the shadow of the sword was almost impossible to catch. When Yumo put away the sword, Shi Zhen's originally sturdy body was already covered with blood stains, and blood flowed all over his body, even if he didn't die today and had a life left, from now on, he would not have any ability to practice hard body arts.
Such a result is a shame for a samurai, and now Shi Zhen has no hope of living, he picked up the spear that was knocked to the ground next to him, stepped forward, and stabbed Yumo one last time, the result was also very simple, the dust breaking sword pierced Shi Zhen's chest, and his huge body fell heavily to the ground.
