Chapter 31: Zhuge Repeater Destroys Defenses
The officers and men of the Red Star Army who were ambushed on the roof quickly distributed the personnel. On the roof of the house on each side, there were eighty Red Star warriors who aimed their Zhuge crossbows at the cavalry of the Jin and Wu armies at the entrance of the village road, while the remaining twenty soldiers on both sides aimed their Zhuge crossbows at Lu Meng in the village road.
At the end of the village road, all the Red Star Army soldiers standing behind Liu Handong also aimed their Zhuge crossbows at Lu Meng in the village road.
Lu Meng looked at the hundreds of Zhuge repeaters facing him in front of him and on the roof, and the one hundred and sixty Zhuge repeaters on the roof of the village entrance facing the soldiers below, and his heart was shocked beyond measure.
At this moment, Lu Meng kept shouting in his heart: How is it possible? How can it be? The other party's thousand cavalry were each equipped with a Zhuge repeater. This is a Zhuge Repeater that can fire ten armor-piercing arrows in a row at one time, which can not only penetrate the armor, but also break through the true qi of the body! How could a thousand Zhuge repeaters appear here at once?
It is rumored that the manufacturing process of Zhuge Repeater is very complicated, and the materials used are very precious and scarce, and it is impossible to achieve mass production. However, how did the other party's 1,000 light cavalry manage to have a Zhuge repeater in their hands?
Lu Meng couldn't figure out how the other party managed to mass-produce the Zhuge Repeater and install it in the team? Just before he could figure this question out, he suddenly remembered the legend about the huge attack power of Zhuge Repeater.
It is said that the target who was attacked by the Zhuge Repeater's crossbow would not be able to withstand a round of Zhuge Repeater's shot if he did not have the true qi protection body of the god-level martial arts. Moreover, the effective range of the Zhuge repeater can reach about 300 meters, while the effective range of ordinary bows and arrows is only about 150 meters, and its effective range is twice that of ordinary bows and arrows.
Zhuge repeater crossbow is the invention of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, because to achieve a long range and powerful effect, so its production process is extremely complicated. The armor-piercing arrows used in the Zhuge Repeater must also be made of special materials, so they are also very precious and rare, so the arrows that can be recovered must be recovered.
Because of the preciousness and rarity of the Zhuge repeater, the Zhuge repeater is generally only configured in small quantities for a small number of special fighters who perform special tasks, and it is impossible to achieve large-scale mass production, so Lu Meng was shocked by how the other party managed to do one for each of the thousand people.
Moreover, with this sharp weapon, you could have used the ultra-long range and super power of the Zhuge Repeater to wipe out our two thousand people, so why bother to play so many tricks? Could it be that the other party's Zhuge repeater is just a similar-looking Xibei cargo?
Thinking of this, Lu Meng suddenly laughed and said: "Hahaha, it is impossible for Zhuge repeaters to be mass-produced at all, you thousands of so-called Zhuge repeaters, I'm afraid they are all fakes, right?" ”
Hearing Lu Meng's words, Liu Handong directly ordered: "Brothers at the entrance of the village road, each fire an armor-piercing arrow, let General Lu Meng see if the Zhuge Repeater in your hand is a real thing." ”
Then I heard an order coming from the roof at the entrance of the village.
"All of them, aim! Ready to Launch! ”
After a "boom", I saw that the enemy cavalry at the village road crossing fell one piece, followed by the screams of people and the neighing of horses. The horses that had been shot by the arrows suddenly went crazy and slammed around, causing a group of people to turn on their backs.
Lu Meng looked at the soldiers who had been pierced through their breastplates by an arrow at the entrance of the village road, and immediately couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "Really! It's true! This thousand Zhuge crossbows are actually real. Where did this come from, so many Zhuge repeaters? ”
Liu Handong ignored Lu Meng's question, and instead took the means of attacking the heart and asked rhetorically: "General Lu Meng, I wonder if you think that the divine function you have cultivated can withstand the burst of our thousand Zhuge repeaters?" ”
Lu Meng said with a wry smile: "Hmph! You look down on me too much. Although the "Fire Cloud Gong" that I practiced was also a god-level exercise, I have not been able to break through the highest realm of the last layer of 'Fire Cloud Covering the Sky', and the true qi of protecting the body has naturally not yet reached the realm of Dacheng. Therefore, how could I resist the burst of more than a thousand Zhuge repeaters. I think that it is not only my honor to use so many Zhuge crossbows to kill a small cavalry general, but also a waste of killing chickens with a knife! ”
Liu Handong then persuaded: "Since General Lu Meng knows that he is invincible, why not choose a tree to perch onto?" I watched General Lu use a plan to kill Wen Cai, and his mind was delicate, and he was really brave and strategic. Now, our Red Star Army is fighting the world for the people of the world, and it is precisely when all kinds of talents are urgently needed, with the talent of the general, it will surely shine on the road of the uprising, even if it is not impossible to leave a name in history. ”
"What's more, I know that the general loves soldiers like sons, even if the general doesn't think about himself, he has to plan for the more than 1,000 soldiers outside, why let the soldiers die in vain? As long as General Lu Meng leads the team to surrender, I, Liu Handong, the lord of the Red Star Army, promise not to hurt you in the slightest, and treat you equally like the existing Red Star Army officers and soldiers. ”
"What's more, does the general know why the dragon ruler is in my hands? That's because I am the inheritor of the dragon ruler chosen by Confucius, so it can be said that I am the one who belongs to the destiny of heaven, so our uprising will definitely succeed. General Lu Meng, you have to think twice, don't go against the sky. ”
"Oh, General Liu, are you really the master of the Dragon Ruler chosen by Kong Sheng?" Lu Meng asked in surprise.
Liu Handong knew that his words were unfounded, so he directly proved it with actions. I saw that his right hand was filled with true qi and made a move towards the ring dragon ruler, and the ring dragon ruler immediately flew out of Wen Chip's hand, and instantly returned to Liu Handong's hand again. Then, the body of the dragon ruler suddenly lit up with a layer of clear light, and at the same time, the body of the ruler vibrated for a while, making a "buzzing" sound of joy.
Yes, Lu Meng clearly felt the joyful sound of the ring dragon ruler, just like a lost pet suddenly saw his owner again. Seeing this, Lu Meng immediately fully believed that the other party was the heir of the Ring Dragon Ruler selected by Kong Sheng.
"General Liu is indeed the master of the dragon ruler chosen by Kong Sheng, that is, the person to whom the destiny of heaven returns. Therefore, if Lu Meng doesn't know what to do, he is really going against the sky. Anyway, for the lives of his subordinates, and for the people of the world to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible, Lu is willing to surrender! The lord is above, please accept Lu Meng's worship! ”
As he spoke, Lu Meng turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and bowed sincerely to Liu Handong with both hands in fists. Seeing this situation, Liu Handong quickly slapped his horse and rushed to Lu Meng, seeing that he was still kneeling on one knee and motionless, so Liu Handong flew off the horse and held Lu Meng's shoulders with both hands to hold him up.
At the same time, Liu Handong opened his mouth and said: "General Lu Meng, please hurry up, we will be comrades-in-arms of the uprising in the future, and the general must not do this great gift again." Officially introduced, I, Liu Handong, am the lord of the Red Star Army, mainly responsible for the political work of the Red Star Army and the formulation of major strategic policies. As for the specific situation, I will explain it to you in detail later. Now, we have to hurry back to the entrance of Panlong Valley and cooperate with the main force of the Red Star Army to carry out the next battle plan. ”
Hearing Liu Handong say this, Lu Meng stopped talking for the time being, and all actions were only Liu Handong's foresight.
As a result, the officers and men of the Red Star Army quickly scattered the remaining cavalry of the Jin and Wu armies. Then, Liu Handong led a light cavalry team of more than 2,500 people towards the entrance of Panlong Valley.
Lu Meng followed Liu Handong to the left, and on the way, he finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart before: "Lord, as far as I know, the production of Zhuge repeaters is extremely complicated, and it is impossible to mass-produce them at all, but why do our cavalry have a thousand Zhuge repeaters?" ”
"Hehe, this is all brought out by Zhuge Ming, the first division of our army, from the Zhuge family. You think, the Zhuge family has always been the first family of the Shu Han Dynasty in the past two hundred years, even if they only produce a few Zhuge repeaters every year, they can produce more than a thousand in the past two hundred years. ”
"The Zhuge family put these Zhuge crossbows in the Sumeru ring to preserve, without fear of aging and damage, after a full 200 years of accumulation, so now they can equip this thousand cavalry. Besides, if there was no such sharp weapon, Zhuge Ming would not have said anything that would have allowed me, the lord of the Red Star Army, to come out and lead the troops to fight. So, it's really good to have a local tyrant friend! Hehe......" Liu Handong couldn't help laughing in the end.
It was the first time Lu Meng had heard the words of the local tyrant, but he guessed that it was the meaning of the big family, so he asked again: "Since the lord has this sharp weapon, why don't you directly wipe out the cavalry led by me and Wen Chip at the entrance of Panlong Valley?" And why go so far into luring the enemy into the depths? ”
Liu Handong then explained: "Haha, this involves the ingenuity of the tactics formulated by Zhuge Military Division. The reason why our side spent so much money on Zhou Zhang was mainly for two purposes: first, after transferring you away from the entrance of Panlong Valley, the middle-aged and elderly militia regiments in the villages on the outskirts of Panlong Valley could sneak into the valley in time, and then climb the slopes on both sides to ambush and block the retreat of the Jin and Wu armies. ”
"Mr. Zhuge had already expected that the trees on the hillside would be set on fire by Sima Yan at the beginning, so he didn't prepare the sassal wood on the hillside at all, but the rolling stones prepared a lot. By the time the Jin and Wu armies wanted to withdraw from the valley, a large number of rolling stones were enough for them to drink a pot. ”
"Second, Mr. Zhuge also expected that the Jin and Wu armies would sign the Yuanshen contract around the dragon ruler. Therefore, as long as you transfer the two cavalry away, and then let one of you get the dragon ruler first, the primordial spirit contract signed by your two armies can be invalidated immediately. ”
"And the side that gets the dragon ruler, due to the distance, cannot immediately send the dragon ruler back to their own army and keep it under close care. In this way, you can give hope to the commander of the other side who has not obtained the Ring Dragon Ruler, that is, your own cavalry may still be able to take the Ring Dragon Ruler from the hands of the opponent's cavalry, so that the main forces of your two armies will remain suspicious and wary of each other. In this way, the two of you will no longer have the idea of uniting against the main forces of our army. ”
