Chapter 351: No Money
The vultures have always been close to Mulu, so they have known Hou Qinu for a long time, and know that although he is a muddy person, he never lies. When Hou Qinu went to bring him over just now, he also told him that he was defeated by Liu Xin and volunteered to be his slave. At that time, the vulture bone didn't think about it, but now after listening to Hou Qinu's words, he realized that he was knocked down by a gust of wind summoned by Liu Xin. But how could a mortal call for wind and rain? When he looked at Liu Xin again, the vulture bone was already frightened, and asked in a panic, "You, do you know how to demons?" ”
"Nonsense, what kind of demon magic do I know!" Liu Xin was so annoyed that he almost kicked him, remembering that he had just taught Zhu Rong a lesson, so he couldn't help it.
The vulture bone seemed to remember something, and suddenly said loudly: "It's a demon law!" You're going to be a demon! Otherwise, how could those broken jars be conjured with barbed iron balls? My rattan armor is invulnerable, not because of those barbed iron balls, how could they be caught by you? ”
Liu Xin said angrily: "Ignorance! Who said rattan armor soldiers are invulnerable? There are many ways to deal with the rattan armor soldiers, but God has the virtue of a good life, and there is a wish girl to intercede for you, so Liu did not kill the killer. Those are not some barbed iron balls, but a kind of nails, which were originally placed in jars, and what they say about conjuring them up, it is really uninsightful! ”
The vultures thought about the situation carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed as Liu Xin said, after those jars were broken, the barbed iron balls were scattered from inside, and some of the jars were not broken, but they broke them themselves. The vultures couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, if they were careful, or if they weren't barefoot, and wore rattan shoes, maybe they would be fine.
Thinking that after his 3,000 people were captured, the Han army not only did not kill them, but also treated the injuries on their feet for them, and the vulture glanced at Zhu Rong gratefully, thinking that it was under her persuasion that the Han army did not embarrass them, but did not know that Zhu Rong did not want to save the vine armor soldiers, but for the survival of the entire barbarian race, so he begged Liu Xin not to kill on a large scale.
However, the vulture bone is still angry about the fact that he and the three thousand vine armor soldiers "stumbled" and were captured, since Liu Xin doesn't know any demon methods, he doesn't have to be so afraid, the dissatisfaction in his heart came out again, stared at Liu Xin and said disdainfully: "If you don't use those thorny iron balls, you can't beat my vine armor soldiers at all, what other way can you say it, I'll listen to you." ”
Liu Xin calmed down when he saw his performance, and said with a smile: "Vulture bone, then I will convince you." I know that you rattan armor is not easy to make, and although the materials are cheap, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. But that can only deal with ordinary swords and arrows, and the sabers equipped with our Han army will not work at all. ”
After speaking, Liu Xin beckoned outside, and ten ordinary soldiers walked in. Liu Xin said lightly: "Come on, take off your saber and show it to this vulture bone patriarch." ”
By this time, a soldier had already come and untied the rope that bound the vulture's bones, and made him sit up from the stretcher, but he was punctured in both feet, and there was no need to worry that he would run away or go overboard.
The vultures inspected the sabers of the soldiers in turn, and praised them repeatedly: "Good knives! ”
Liu Xin nodded and said, "Vulture Bone, it seems that you are also an expert in knowing goods, what is the difference between these swords?" ”
The vulture shook his head and said, "I can't see it, it all seems to be the same." ”
Liu Xin casually took the saber from a soldier's hand and flicked it lightly with his fingers, and his voice was crisp and pleasant. Liu Xin said proudly: "These sabers are only equipped with ordinary soldiers, and it would be better if they were used by generals." I'll use this ordinary saber to chop your rattan armor, so that you can open your eyes and know what it means to be a foot high and a foot high. Come on, bring a pair of rattan armor. ”
Soon, a soldier brought in a rattan armor soldier. The vulture was taken aback, thinking that Liu Xin was going to kill his clansmen in front of him, but after a closer look, he found that it was just a wooden stake with a pair of rattan armor on the outside.
Liu Xin pointed to the "vine armor soldier" and asked, "Vulture bones, take a good look, this rattan armor is what you use?" ”
The moment the soldiers brought in, the vultures could see that the rattan armor had been peeled from them, and it was intact and undamaged.
Liu Xin laughed and said, "Vulture bone, look carefully, I'm going to cut it down!" ”
He said that he would cut it, but as if he was deliberately trying to make the vultures see clearly, his movements were slowly swallowed, and the saber drew a beautiful arc in the air, and it fell lightly on the left shoulder of the "rattan armor soldier", and it slashed diagonally down, and actually split the "vine armor soldier" in two.
The vultures were taken aback, he had already seen the sharpness of this saber just now, but he definitely didn't expect it to be as sharp as this, and he had also checked the vine armor, and it was definitely intact. Moreover, Liu Xin's chopping action was an understatement, as if he did not use a trace of strength. The vulture bone couldn't help but feel a huge loss, in order to make these three thousand pairs of rattan armor, it can be said that for several years in a row, the people of the entire tribe have tightened their belts, saving money to buy tung oil, and they are so vulnerable.
Liu Xin didn't even look at the vulture, slowly put down the saber in his hand, and turned his back to him and said, "Vulture bone, now you should know, even if I don't throw out those clay pots with nails, I can still wipe you out cleanly." It's just that in that case, there is little hope that you and your wisteria soldiers will survive, and my soldiers will inevitably be damaged. Of course, I have other ways to kill you without hurting my own soldiers, would you like to see it? ”
The vulture bone no longer dared to doubt what Liu Xin said, and said with a gloomy expression: "I believe the words of the adult, don't read it, but I don't know how the adult wants to send me and my people down?" ”
Liu Xin turned his head, looked at the frustrated vulture bone, and said seriously: "I think it's better for you to take a look, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also know how to improve your rattan armor." Someone, bring a torch! ”
The vulture bone didn't know what Liu Xin wanted the torch to do in broad daylight. But seeing Liu Xin raise the torch and approach the half-section of the "rattan armor soldier", he suddenly stopped his hand and said: "This is too dangerous, and I can't really see it, but I brought a sheep over." ”
Soon, a heavily armed "rattan sheep" was led to the open space outside the tent and tied to a large stone with iron chains. Liu Xin threw the torch in his hand under the hooves of the "rattan sheep", and with a "coax", the "rattan sheep" caught fire immediately, and in a blink of an eye, it became a fire sheep, and there was no movement after a "blea". Although there was no wind, the oil-soaked rattan armor still burned more and more, and if I had tested it in the big tent just now, it was very likely that even the big tent would have been ignited.
It took a long time for the fire that Liu Xin "put" to gradually extinguish, and the air was filled with a scorching smell. Liu Xin covered his nose and waved his hand, asking the soldiers to carry the vulture bone to the scene of the "fire", so that he could carefully identify the "rattan armor sheep".
The vulture bone only glanced at it, and his face turned completely white after "brushing". The rattan armor that had been draped over the sheep had been burned to the ground, and the sheep was huddled in a clump that was almost charred. Although the vulture bone has also killed many people and seen a lot of bloody scenes, he has never seen a sheep that can be burned so miserably, if it was not a sheep that "worn" the rattan armor just now, but another clansman, the end would be unimaginable. The vulture bone only felt a tightness in his abdomen, and his stomach turned upside down, and he vomited with a "wow" sound.
There are soldiers here who came to clean up, Liu Xin took everyone back to the big tent again, now don't talk about the vulture bones, that is, Zhu Rong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, and Guo Jia are all dignified. At this time, they understood why Liu Xin would say that the cracking method against the rattan armor soldiers on the battlefield was too cruel.
The vultures gasped, and their backs were cold. If the Han army had thrown out not those strange clay pots in front of the two armies just now, but the blazing torches, he and his rattan armor soldiers would have been burned to ashes.
After this kind of rattan armor was manufactured, the vulture bone only tried to cut it a few times with the knife and axe in the clan, and sure enough, it couldn't be cut through, so it was like a treasure, and it was easy to be reluctant to test. The barbarians worship the god of fire, but they don't know how to use fire attacks, and the conflict between the tribes is also a hard-fought slashing, and they have long been frightened when they see the invulnerability of the rattan armor soldiers, and no one has found the weakness of this rattan armor that is afraid of fire.
Liu Xin sat down in the chair again, and said with a smile: "Vulture Bone, I haven't met an interesting opponent like you for a long time. In this way, when your foot injury is healed, I will let you go back, and you continue to study your vine armor, and when we will compare again. ”
The scene of the "rattan armor sheep" burning in the fire just now lingered in the mind of the vulture bone for a long time, and when he heard that Liu Xin wanted him to continue to study the rattan armor, he was so frightened that he was not possessed.
The vulture wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Xin, but the entire lower body was tightly tied to the stretcher, so he had to try his best to prostrate his upper body, just like doing a forward bending exercise, and said in a loud voice: "Adults spare me, I don't dare to go against adults anymore." Now I am absolutely convinced that the Lord is the reincarnation of the Wind God, otherwise, how would a mortal know so many ways to deal with the vine armor. If you can let me go, I promise never to make this kind of rattan armor again. ”
"What? I've just demonstrated two ways and you're giving up? It's so unchallenging, and I still haven't come up with a lot of methods, which is a pity! Liu Xin's face was full of unhappiness, and he said resolutely, "No! I'll let you go back, you must continue to make this rattan armor, and you will have to improve it before you come back to challenge me. This kind of rattan armor doesn't cost much silver to make, but it just takes some effort, is it also difficult? ”
The vulture looked bitter, bent down again and again, and said: "My lord doesn't know, I used all my strength to make these three thousand pairs of rattan armor for five years, where is the adult said that it doesn't cost money, I really can't afford to do it anymore." ”
