Hanzhong Battlefield.

Zhao Tuo and Liu Xiu confronted each other for more than half a month, and Qin Jun not only failed to move forward, but the situation became more and more passive!

Qin army barracks.

Zhao Tuo looked at the information sent by the scouts on the case, his face became darker and darker, as if it would explode in the next moment, and the generals and strategists on the side also held their breath and didn't dare to breathe.

Half a month ago, Zhao Tuo asked Deng Ai to lead 5,000 men and horses, intending to repeat the old trick and take Yinping. Then he entered the territory of Nanjun and harassed the Han army.

But half a month has passed, but there is still no news of Deng Ai's success. It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that Deng Ai returned with the remaining remnants of the army.

Zhao Tuo only knew when he asked this that Liu Xiu had already prepared, and had already sent his subordinate Feng Yi to lead the troops to the vicinity of Yinping and wait for the rabbit.

At the beginning, the Qin army went smoothly along the way, and it can be said that there was no resistance. But it wasn't until the Qin army was twenty miles away from Yinping that it was caught off guard by the Han army, which had been in ambush for a long time.

In the end, under the full command of Deng Ai, the Qin army finally succeeded in breaking through. However, this is just the beginning.

After such an ambush, Deng Ai naturally knew that the Han army had already prepared, and even with the remaining Qin army, he planned to withdraw from Yinping.

But just when the Qin army had just begun to retreat, it was ambushed by the Han army again and suffered heavy losses.

Deng Ai realized that he had fallen for the Han army's serial scheme! But even if Deng Ai was very careful, he still fell into more than a dozen ambushes of the Han army.

After so many ambushes, it can be said that Deng Ai and Qin Jun were terrified.

In the end, Deng Ai and the remaining remnants of the army successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Han army, and finally withdrew from the territory of Yinping in fear.

After so many ambushes by the 5,000 Qin army, only a hundred people were left with Deng Ai. And Deng Ai also hung the lottery dozens of times on his body, but fortunately it did not hurt the root.

However, Deng Ai had just returned to the barracks. Zhao Tuo received the news of the loss of Brazil again!

As soon as Zhao Tuo understood this, he knew about it. As early as when he confronted Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu had already sent someone to smuggle Bashui directly to Brazil!

Zhao Tuo looked at the battle report on the case at this time and was furious. It turned out that he had been being played with by Liu Xiu in front of him.

Now Yinping in the west and Brazil in the east have all been controlled by the Han army.

The Han army in Brazil could attack itself at any time, and Yin Ping was tightly controlled by it. I want to have no other way than to go all out to attack the Li County in front of me!

Just when Zhao Tuo was about to have a seizure, he saw Jia Xu rushing into the handsome tent.

Jia Xu entered the tent, his face looked extremely excited, and he didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the tent at all.

Zhao Tuo looked at Jia Xu's gang, and just wanted to have a seizure, but only heard Jia Xu's excited voice, "Marshal!" There is already a way to break Liu Xiu's iron tree golden juice!"

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he hurriedly swept away the previous gloom and said, "Oh? What is the plan of the gentleman? How can it be broken? Come on. ”

Jia Xu hurriedly took out a crossbow.

Zhao Tuo looked at it and hesitated and said, "Sir, isn't he entertaining me, isn't this an ordinary arm-drawn crossbow in our army?" ”

"Hahaha, please take a closer look at the marshal!" When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately said with a smile.

Zhao Tuo set his eyes on the crossbow again and examined it carefully. Zhao Tuo took such a look, and sure enough, he found something unusual.

It turned out that the arm in Jia Xu's hand was stretched with an extra string, and there was an extra groove in the place where the arrow was inlaid.

Seeing this, Zhao Tuo immediately asked, "What does this mean, sir?" ”

"Hahaha! Marshal, look! ”

Jia Xu said, immediately held the crossbow with both hands, put the crossbow on his shoulder, and then pressed the extra string with his right foot, only to see that the crossbow was suddenly pulled full of straight, and then ordered someone to take the "special feather arrow" that had been made before and put it on the crossbow, and put it towards the door of the handsome tent.

With a "whoosh", I saw the feather arrow suddenly rushing out. Immediately, only a crisp sound was heard, and everyone looked again, only to see that the feathered arrows shot were actually embedded in the six-inch thick camp gate.

When Zhao Tuo saw it, he immediately stepped forward and wanted to pull the arrow out of the door, but the arrow was stuck in the door and did not move.

Zhao Tuo looked at it and nodded in surprise, but he was still puzzled: "Military Master, what is the use of this crossbow?" Could it be that the golden juice of the Broken Iron Tree depends on this crossbow? ”

"Hahaha! Definitely, but if you want to break the golden juice of the iron tree, you must not have this crossbow! Jia Xu immediately shook his head and said.

After saying that, Jia Xu immediately took out something from his sleeve. Everyone present looked at it and saw that this thing was an arrow more than two feet long, but the arrow of this arrow was different from other arrows.

I saw that the scissors of this arrow were a piece of iron that was sharpened into a cylinder! Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Jia Xu smiled slightly, and then explained.

It turned out that in the past few days, Jia Xu looked at the iron tree gold juice in Nali County relying on small holes. The hole was no more than three inches wide.

And as far as Jia Xu watched in the past few days, the small hole of the iron tree golden juice was long and small, if this small hole was blocked, the Han army would have no way to deal with it at all!

Jia Xu has such a plan, even if he has a plan in mind. Immediately brought the accompanying craftsmen together, and after the blacksmith in the army heard Jia Xu's idea, even with the attitude of giving it a try, he didn't expect that this round-headed arrow would really be made after such a try.

The arrow was made, but it had to be able to shoot the arrow into the hole of the Iron Tree's golden juice accurately, blocking it so that the golden juice could not flow. In this way, Lixian is simply in the bag!

Next, Jia Xu discussed with the craftsmen in the army again for two days and two nights, and then the crossbow was built.

The crossbow used by Jia Xu now is a combination of the arm-open crossbow and the pedal bow, which are commonly used in the Qin army.

The reason why the Qin army was able to unify the six countries was that its special weapon, the crossbow, also had an indispensable credit!

The crossbow used by the Qin army is divided into two kinds, the kick and the arm, both of which are equipped in the Qin army, the kick crossbow is the foot on the bow, the arm pulls the waist and drags it, and winds it with the strength of the whole body, so the firing speed of the crossbow is far less than the bow. But the arrows fired are extremely powerful.

Why is this crossbow more powerful than a bow? Then I have to talk about the way the two are used!

The Qin crossbow must be stepped on with its feet, and it can be wound with the help of the strength of the whole body. The tension is about 180 catties, and the power and explosiveness of the crossbow arrows shot out are much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows. The Qin crossbow has a very elaborate trigger, and the hit rate is much more accurate than that of ordinary bows.

But the only drawback of the Qin crossbow is that its range is not as far as that of the bow. The new crossbow that Jia Xu and the craftsmen created this time is a perfect solution to this problem. Successfully combine the bow and crossbow so that both complement each other!

Zhao Tuo was overjoyed when he heard Jia Xu's strategy and introduction, and even patted Jia Xu and said: "The military advisor is really wise!" ”

When everyone present saw it, they also hurriedly echoed Zhao Tuo and applauded.
