The flaming arrow uses the elastic force of the bowstring to shoot out, the shaft of the arrow is thick and hard, and there is a cartridge tied to it, and the cartridge contains gunpowder and iron beads, which is powerful and has a large killing range.

However, it is said that after the ten flaming arrows were launched, they exploded one after another, and the iron beads flew wildly, like shotguns, so this flaming arrow is also called a shotgun arrow.

The screams on the mountain continued, and Huang Zhong had already ordered: "Fire Arrow, prepare!" Cavalry archers release arrows! ”

Duan Xuan and Wu Xi, who were running in front, had already been shot down by Lu Bu with two consecutive arrows. Huang Zhong's archers kept shooting arrows at the mountain, they shot ordinary feathered arrows, because they were shooting at the mountain below, they were not lethal, but they could interfere and cover for the flaming arrows.

The Flame Arrow is fired by the Sunset Crossbow, and the Sunset Crossbow's projectile power reaches the power of three stones, which can send the heavy crossbow arrow "Fire Flame Arrow" higher and farther.

Huang Zhong's armament soldiers only used ten sunset crossbows, and only fired three waves of fiery arrows, and the ambush soldiers on the mountain were silent.

After waiting for a while, Liu Xie said, "The march continues!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty is slow, wait for the ministers to open the way in front!" ”

Zhao Yun led his subordinates to open the way first, and the army followed closely, and when they passed by Duan Xuan and Wu Xi, they saw that they had fallen to the ground and died after being hit by arrows. The trail was littered with the corpses of ambushers falling from the mountains and falling rubble.

Looking at the corpses in one place, Liu Xie sighed: "I have the intention to recruit you, but you don't trust me, so why bother? ”

After eliminating the two ambushes set up by Duan Xuan and Wu Xi here, everything went smoothly after that, and they quickly walked out of the Heavenly Canyon, and saw that Chang'an was in front of them.

The more he was about to arrive in Chang'an, the more he couldn't be in a hurry, and when he marched to 50 miles outside Chang'an, Liu Xie ordered him to camp in the village.

Lu Bu objected and asked, "Your Majesty, you have already arrived in Chang'an, why don't you take advantage of the situation to take it?" ”

Liu Xie said: "Fengxian, don't forget, then Li Dao Guo Yan has 150,000 Xiliang troops, and Jia Xu is planning for him, we don't have more than 10,000 people, what to fight?" ”

Lu Bu said: "Your Majesty, the Xiliang Army has been running for days and is very tired, Chang'an City has not been repaired for many years, and the defense of the city is lax, and the Xiliang Army is also a group of rabble. Although our Han army has few soldiers, they are all strong and loyal soldiers, and they have the artifact sunset crossbow, which Chang'an is at your fingertips. If you delay the time, let Li Dao Guo Yan develop the climate, and then want to take Chang'an, it will take a lot of effort. Your Majesty, Bu is willing to charge ahead, behead Li Dao Guo Yan, capture Jia Xu alive, and dedicate it to Your Majesty. ”

After Liu Xie heard what he said, he said: "Fengxian, I have made up my mind, and you don't have to say anything." ”

Liu Xiesui didn't listen to Lu Bu's advice, and Lu Bu also left angrily.

Looking at the back of Lu Bu leaving, Yan Er said, "Your Majesty, this Lu Bu is too arrogant. ”

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "There is courage but no strategy, and I don't know how to fight at all. Hansheng, Zilong, you two come with me. ”

In the tent of the Chinese military camp, Liu Xie secretly summoned the two and said, "I specially summoned the two of them and want to hear your opinions. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Your Majesty, if this Jia Xu is really as magical as you said, the minister estimates that he may come to rob the camp tonight." ”

In fact, Liu Xie also thought of this, looked at Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong said: "What Zilong said is extremely true. ”

At this moment, it was not yet dark, the fire man soldiers were still cooking, Liu Xie was walking back and forth in the tent, Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun looked at the nine-year-old little emperor, waiting for him to speak.

In the big tent, except for the three of them, it was Yan'er, and Yan'er said anxiously: "Your Majesty, do you have any way?" ”

Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling her not to speak, not to interrupt his train of thought, Liu Xie walked back, returned to the table to look at the map, and then continued walking.

Don't look at Liu Xie's youth, but he is extremely smart, decisive, and very courageous, in the past few days, all the generals have seen it, and his style of doing things is not like a nine-year-old child at all.

So at this moment, Zhao Huang and the others are also waiting here extremely respectfully.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xie came to the map, beckoned the two to approach, and said, "Hansheng, you see that there is a dirt slope on this side of our camp, you calculate, whether the distance from the place in front of the camp can be within the range of the sunset crossbow." ”

Huang Zhong looked at it carefully and said: "Judging from the map, it should be there, but it must be determined by field survey." ”

Liu Xie nodded and shouted, "Someone!" ”

Immediately, a personal soldier came in, and Liu Xie asked Huang Zhong to pass the word, and asked his subordinates to immediately organize a few people to go to the soil slope to conduct a field survey.

Liu Xie continued: "If the range is enough, after dinner, you will immediately take people to set up an ambush here." I guess Jia Xu will come to rob the camp tonight, hmm......"

Liu Xie began to groan again, now that he is so close to Chang'an, this will be the first time he will command the camping defense, so he is a little nervous, and he is worried that he will not be able to grasp it well, once he fails, he will lose his life if he doesn't do it, so he is a little indecisive.

"Your Majesty......" Huang Zhong said when he saw that Liu Xie suddenly stopped talking again.

"Someone!" Liu Xie called out again and asked, "How long will it take to eat?" ”

The soldier replied, "There is still half an hour." ”

Liu Xie said: "It's still too late, Zilong, Hansheng, Yan'er, you three of you work hard, go out for a walk with me, Yan'er, bring the map!" ”

Liu Xie hurriedly went out of the tent, and the three of them followed closely inexplicably, and as soon as Liu Xie came out of the tent, he shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

At the same time, he whispered to the little dictionary: "Little dictionary, you said you are a smart egg who knows everything......"

"It's a big encyclopedia, not a smart egg," the little dictionary corrected.

Liu Xie said: "Then if you know the weather and moon phases tonight, tell me if you know." ”

The soldiers brought the horses, everyone got on the horses, and Liu Xie was still picked up by Yan Er and rode with her.

"Get out of the camp and go forward!" Liu Xie ordered, and the three horsemen left the camp and walked forward, surveying the terrain all the way. At the same time, Shangguan Yu listened to the report of the small dictionary:

"Of course I know the weather and the phases of the moon, master," said the little dictionary, "I have told you all, and as long as it has happened, I know that today is the middle of the month, and the first half of the night tonight will be cloudy, and the visibility will be very low, and there will be four hours of clear weather between twelve o'clock in the middle of the night and four o'clock in the morning, and there will be a sudden rainstorm at four o'clock." ”

Liu Xie asked again: "Help me analyze, if Jia Xu robs the camp, what time period will he choose?" ”

The small dictionary replied: "In the first half of the night until twelve o'clock, the sky was cloudy, the clouds covered the moon, the visibility was extremely low, and Chang'an was 50 miles from here, and the fastest march would take an hour and a half." Since it's a robbery camp, I won't choose this time period, I can't see the road, and I can't light a torch, so it's easy to be exposed. ”

Liu Xie asked, "That's the second half of the night?" ”

"Yes, master," replied the little dictionary, "four hours of sunshine, with a full moon in the middle of the moon, which can be illuminated, and three hours to reach the ...... slowly."

"So they'll arrive at three o'clock in the morning."

"It's possible."
