1.2 Pervasive

Dozens of black-clothed men slammed into the ground in no particular order, splashing blood.

The man in black leaning against the base of the wall had not yet taken his gaze back from his companion's corpse, and the bowstring sounded again.

There was a pain in the back of his neck, and blood arrows erupted. He threw himself on the ground, choking on his blood.

The arrows above their heads are like flying locusts.

The dragon and tiger battalions and embroidered clothes hidden everywhere are up and down with arrows in their hands. The man in black was caught off guard and died tragically.

Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, the black-clothed men hiding in the tunnels came out one after another. Qi rushed to the carriage blocking the door.

The driver moved the spring, which covered the inner wall of the enamel armor, and opened silently. With a terrifying snapping sound, the crossbow whistled and fired!

Puff puff –

Even with a shield, he was shot through by a shield from a man.

The convoy carried a huge amount of money, how could Liu Bei not be prepared. Machine-powered arrows rain down on arrows. The black-clothed men who rushed to the gate fell down layer by layer. They were all hit by several arrows, wailing and dying. The spring sounded again. The outer compartment wall is returned to its position first. The inner compartment wall rises with it. It becomes a wall and surrounds the roof of the car.

The dragon and the tiger knight have reached the roof of the car. With the help of the cover of the wall, shoot from all sides.

Companions continue to die tragically by arrows. Seeing that nothing could be done, the remnants of the men in black rushed back to the nearest tunnel.

Shi Jian waved his hand, and a team of embroidered clothes jumped out of the wall. Throw the urn of oil mixed with sulfur in your hand into the pit vigorously.

Chasing the oil urn, the fire line flew overhead, and it was in the middle of the tunnel.

The flames burst out. Thick sulphur smoke rose with it. The poisonous mist burned along the tunnel with the liquid fire. Plumes of smoke are constantly rising from the ground in the white snowfield.

Many black-clad people foamed at the mouth, using their hands and feet, and crawled out of the smoke to the ground. Why shoot. It didn't take long for his face to turn hideous, and he died of convulsions.

Embroiderers wear new breathing masks and guard each other. Follow the same trend and kill the remnants of the enemy. I saw that a group of dragon riders had gone around to the farthest pit and threw oil urns. Liu Bei knew that the general trend had been decided.

Poisonous smoke is attacked before and after the liquid fire.

The fate of this group of marmots can be imagined.

The north wind howled. Poured in ferociously from the mouth of the pit. Toxic smoke fills the tunnels. Wherever there is a fork in the road, poisonous smoke will be poured in.

Pervasive.

More and more men in black are choking off the ground. foaming at the mouth, and all the facial features are destroyed. He was killed by the embroiderer's sword.

The earthen fort is sheltered by walls and the smoke is mostly underground, so it is fine.

When the morning dawned, there was still smoke coming out of the pit.

The embroiderers have begun to clean up the battlefield. The body of the man in black who died in the tunnel was also dragged out of the ground.

There were hundreds.

Most of them are Han Chinese, and a small number of miscellaneous beards. There were no obvious features or markings on his body, and Rao was an experienced embroiderer, so he could not tell where these people came from.

The corpse mourners also found that several black-clothed men who looked like leaders were not choked to death by poisonous smoke, but died of poison on their own.

Liu Bei nodded. Let the embroidered clothes be the head and calculate the military merits. The corpses were piled up and burned.

It's busy, and it's dawn.

The convoy set off in the snow. Enter the North Road and head west towards Daigun.

A night of fierce fighting. The tiger under his command looked excited, and he was not sleepy at all. Compared to a comfortable life, the killing fields are a familiar taste.

After eating breakfast and listening to Shi Lian's detailed feelings, Liu Bei wanted to take a nap. Unexpectedly, when I woke up, it was already noon.

The convoy was stationed in a nearby house. After the men and horses were fed, they continued on their way.

The Northern Road is the main road of Naiban County. The imperial court repaired it every year, and the road was in good condition. The center is the Son of Heaven, and he does not dare to trespass. It is the official road on both sides, and it is also extremely smooth. Xianbei heavy ploughing horses have four hooves and gallop all the way. Although the speed is not as fast as Chiriko, it is not slow. The most important thing is excellent endurance. It can drive 400 miles a day.

With the experience of the day before yesterday, Liu Bei was not in a hurry. Let the scouts explore the pavilions along the way first. It would be better if there was a garrison fortress. With the order of General Fuhan, but it doesn't hurt to live. The itinerary is not greedy. The most is 300 miles, and the least is 200 miles. Safety is paramount.

Two days later, he arrived at Takayanagi, Daigun.

Replenish the grain, grass and water, and continue westward to the clouds.

Go south from Yunzhong, pass through the court of the Southern Xiongnu King, enter Shangjun, turn to the Jin branch road, and then turn to the east road, and can reach Luoyang.

This network of galloping roads, which was born in the pre-Qin period and carried forward in the Han Dynasty, is too powerful. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the earliest highway network in the Central Plains. What is the concept of 400 miles by car? Two thousand miles, five days to reach.

The end of the year is approaching. The road is quite busy with cars coming and going. The snow on the road was solidified and turned into ice. Experienced drivers will follow the same path.

Ruts, commonly known as rut ditches. It is made by repeated crushing by vehicles. The bottom of the rut ditch is hard and flat, like a recessed track. The carriage traveled along the two rutted ditches, easily and freely. Snowmobiling can be difficult and dangerous if you deviate from the ruts. His Majesty the First Emperor ruled the Central Plains. "Car on the same track" makes the wheel span the same everywhere. All cars and horses in the world can move in the same ruts.

It's so convenient.

The convoy lined up in an inline and followed the rut.

Dragons and tigers are scattered, left and right, escorted along the way.

There are more and more cars on the road. And it's blazing fast. The official road can be counted in parallel. The fleet of vehicles in Linxiang is all heavy vehicles. And lined up along the ruts. Blocking the path of the rear car. Seeing that there were sergeants on the left and right, the car behind did not dare to say much. Don't dare to overtake. They slowed down and followed all the way.

I heard the neighing of people and horses in the rear.

Xu Rong, Cheng Pu, and turned back when they heard the sound. I saw several tent light cars, driving out of the ruts and forcibly overtaking. Caused a riot.

When his gaze turned back, he saw several similar tent light cars on the opposite side, also speeding towards him. Forcibly crossed the Son of Heaven and galloped!

"Not good!" Xu Rongming warned him.

The coachman immediately moved the springs. The baffle, which resembles the awning of later generations, is then flipped out of the roof. Change the driver's seat into a cockpit. A fan-shaped steel skeleton wrapped in fine steel mesh. The structure resembles chain mail and bounces off all the arrows that come at you.

The front car at the front, along with the front frame similar to a lawn mower, was flipped out together. It's just that compared to the long boom required for rotary cutter mowing, the sharp iron-shaped blade on the frame in front of you is clearly the head of the locomotive in later generations, the obstacle remover used to clear the stone barricades! Or it's not an exaggeration to call it a collision angle!

"Formation!" Shi Lian on the roof of the car gave an order. The rear car quickly approached the front car, and the front boom and the rear compartment were quickly locked. More than a dozen carriages were connected in front and back. It became a train!

Dozens of Xianbei heavy ploughing horses will relay the galloping horsepower. The rear car pushes the front car. The car in front of it was on the top of the blade, stabbing the oncoming carriage and rumbling into it.

Boom –

The blade hits the body sideways.

There was a loud bang, and the vehicle fell apart. There were people and horses in the car, and the blood collapsed all over the place.

Forced through the Son of Heaven galloping, stabbing obliquely, and the many carriages that wanted to block the road did not have time to react at all.

All smashed head-on by the blade!

Thrown into the air, the coachman who spurted blood and fell to the ground. Then he was crushed to pieces by the wheels that were driving at high speed.

The car grinds and the horse is treaded.

When the long car drove by, there were no bones left on the icy ground. There was only a shocking trail of blood.

Will break through the blockade, the rear light car has approached at high speed.

The spring rings again.

At the back of the car, a ballista with a strange style slowly rises to the roof.
