Chapter 657: Divine Shooting

Liu Pet is an ambitious one.

He is the great-grandson of the son of Emperor Ming, and he is the heir of the Chen State, but in fact, he is far from the lineage of this dynasty, and there is no chance to realize his ambitions from the normal way.

Therefore, he had hoped for some things of gods and ghosts to bless him. But in the second year of Xiping, his national minister Shi Qian directly reported him.

At that time, when the former Minister Wei Su was still in office, he had asked for a ghost god in Shudi, and it was said that he could get great luck by worshipping this, and Wei Su also had some ideas at that time, so the two secretly worshiped ghosts and gods together.

Originally, this matter was very secret, but Shi Qian knew about it.

Since the beginning of this dynasty, in order to avoid the repetition of the story of the rebellion of the seven kings of the previous dynasty, when the various feudal kings were equipped with state ministers, in fact, these state ministers also had a supervisory role in the princes and kings.

And privately worshipping ghosts and gods was a very fatal political event at that time, such as the case of King Chu during the Ming Emperor period.

So, Shi Qian sued Liu Pet to Liu Hong without thinking about it.

Originally, this division moved to picket the traitorous king naturally had merit, but he never expected that he would meet an emperor who was not four or six.

That Liu Hong had just punished the King of Bohai at that time, and he was worried that the re-inflicted name would make the world look sideways, so he decided to let Liu Pet go and not pursue it.

But Liu Hong arrested Shi Qian and the former Minister of State Wei Su together, and cut them all down.

The crime of killing Wei Su was that as the prime minister of state, he could not show Wang Chen's virtue, and he was complicit. And the crime of killing Shi Qian is even more outrageous, blaming him for being a subordinate but taking the lead in his own monarch.

In short, if you say it, you will die, and if you don't say it, you will die.

Liu Hong's political style can be seen.

After that, because of Liu Hong's protection, Liu Chong's matter was lifted high and gently put down. But Liu Pet still has great ambitions, and relying on various means, he actually harbored thousands of strong crossbows.

You must know that ordinary people dare to hide a crossbow at home, and they will be wiped out, let alone thousands of strong crossbows.

After that, the Yellow Turbans in Runan were everywhere, and Chen Guo was inevitably affected, relying on this opportunity, Liu Chong cooperated with his own Minister Luo Jun and won the military and political power of Chen State.

But just when he expelled the Yellow Turban and was preparing to extend his influence to other counties in Yuzhou one after another, he never expected that Yuan Shao would raise troops in Runan.

Liu Chong and Yuan Shao fought three battles successively, and all three battles were northern.

It's not that Liu Chong is not good at fighting, nor is it that the elite soldiers under his command are not sharp, but compared with Yuan Shao, he almost has no political talent.

When Yuan Shao had relied on prestige and interests to unite most of the world's tycoons in Yuzhou, Liu Chong was still fully engaged in the war in front of him.

In the end, when the many great clans of the Chen State behind him raised their banners, the result was already doomed.

Liu Pet, who was cut off from the back road, could only reluctantly take part of the elite of Chen Guo Shangluo to take refuge in the imperial court. Even the thousands of strong crossbows he had accumulated were cheaper than Yuan Shao.

It was also by relying on Liu Chong's legacies that Yuan Shao established the elite soldiers under his account, the "Shooting Army".

In this way, King Chen, who has great ambitions, his ambition collapsed in the hands of Yuan Shao, his ambition is really higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper.

After that, Liu Chong, who was cut off his foundation and minions, could only play a virtuous king in Kyoto, and now, he really regards himself as a general of the auxiliary Han.

But you can question Liu Chong's political ability, but you can't doubt his martial prowess.

Because, he is really brave!

……

The Taishan army in the fortress was advancing along the corridor between the ramparts.

At this time, they fought fiercely for three moments, their spirits were high, and the morale of the whole army was at a high-spirited level, and the Shangdang army in front of them could not resist their attack at all, and they were killed and retreated.

Following the rout of the Shangdang army, the Taishan army poured into the second barrier like a tide, trying to replicate the victory just now.

But who knows, the armor soldiers of the Taishan Army at the forefront have just rushed into the camp, and suddenly two rows of big spears flew out of the open space in front of them, and they were so anxious that they were inserted into the crowd of the Taishan Army.

Just a moment ago, they were still harvesting the lives of the Shangdang army with the same means, but they didn't expect that just a moment later, the same method fell on their heads.

The arrows shot by the Shangdang army were much thicker than those of the Taishan army, even if these Han crossbows were slower and shorter in range than the ballistae of the Taishan army, but at the distance in front of them, the thicker arrows increased their power.

Under the hammer of the Han army's sledgehammer, each of these arrows as thick as spears was like a bolt of lightning, and the iron armor worn by the armor of the Taishan army was no different from paper paste.

And because the distance is close enough and the power is strong enough, these arrows and spears will not reduce their kinetic energy at all after penetrating a Taishan army armor soldier, and they will pass through the next one.

So, in front of the camp, the elite soldiers of the Taishan army fell like wheat under the shooting of these two rows of strong crossbows.

To kill such a number of elite armor of the Taishan Army, the Shangdang soldiers would need to pay twice or even three times as many casualties, but at this moment, only two rows of arrows and spears were needed.

This is the power of science and technology, and human life is almost like a mustard.

At the back of the crowd, Xu Sheng saw his brothers being hung up by the thick arrows and spears, and fell down, and the whole person's eyes were bloody.

He was about to rush forward against the people, but suddenly he was stopped by a general from him.

Naqu General is also a disciple of Lao Taishan, and shouted angrily to Xu Sheng's soldiers:

"Take your battalion to retreat to the camp at the back first, and hold on there."

After saying that, he rushed over with a roar of his ironclad soldiers, wanting to avenge the dead brothers, most of whom had just died from his song.

But at this time, the party soldiers in front of them were another war drum, and then from the thin slit of the opposite card hand, a group of enemy troops in crimson military uniforms rushed out.

These people had quivers on their waists, and when they ran to Xu Sheng's side one hundred and fifty paces, they began to fire their bows and crossbows in unison.

The Qu general of Xu Shengying, lowered his head, let these arrows hit his iron armor, regardless of it, and rushed forward.

One hundred and fifty paces, in a state of rage, less than ten breaths were there, and at this time, the crossbowmen of the upper party army had not even finished shooting the arrows in their bags.

Armed with a two-edged sword, Naqu swept into the ranks of archers, slashing a head with a single blow, and the remaining ten ironclad soldiers followed.

They kept striking at the Shangdang archers in front of them, either with heavy troops or with iron bones, and for a while, the sound of brittle bones and painful wails resounded through the battlefield.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

……

Without any warning, a row of arrows and spears shot again from the party formation on the opposite side, aiming at the area where the Taishan army was fighting.

You must know that there are still dozens of Shangdang crossbowmen fighting with the armor soldiers of the Taishan Army. But it is still the same as the enemy, and it is not wrong to kill it.

Naqu didn't escape this time, his chest was pierced by a spear, and the only thing he could do was to lean back so that the spear would not hurt the robe behind him again.

Before he died, the general looked to the east, which was the direction of Mount Tai, and he vaguely saw that the sky was covered with gold, and there, the robes who had died in battle were already waiting for him among the clouds.

"Brothers, I'm coming!"

Die.

As a result, the Taishan army of 200 people died at the foot of the Baigu Ridge.

And Xu Sheng, who saw this scene completely, was furious, but looking at the big yellow crossbow that was being rewound opposite, he spurted a mouthful of blood and said with hatred:

"Let's get back into the barn."

But it was not easy for Xu Sheng to retreat, only to hear the drums on the opposite side, and in the camp full of corpses, a gorgeous chariot suddenly rushed out.

This car is pulled by three brown and red war horses, with a red canopy, two red flags hung on the left and right, embroidered with nine dragon gold patterns, the carriage baffle is waved with the soldier master Chiyou and his seventy-two evil lords, and the two wheels of the car are also painted with vermilion lacquer and gold, which is higher than people.

At this time, sitting on the cart and controlling the three horses was a samurai in full armor, wearing a hood on his head, a red lacquered plaque behind him, and an extended unilateral halberd on the compartment.

And the samurai standing on his side was even more Xuanhe.

He was wearing a hood on his head, wearing a vermilion bird basin collar armor, a crimson military uniform, a jade ring seal ribbon around his waist, and a thick horned bow in his hand, shaking his finger at Xu Sheng.

This person is none other than the peerless warrior, King Chen and Liu Pet.

Under the skillful control of the samurai on the right side of the chariot, the chariot rushed through the camp, and the whole thing was like a fireball emitting infinite heat, rampage.

Liu Pet saw from afar that the Taishan army fighting general, holding a vermilion lacquer bow, with force in his hand, the strong cow tendon bowstring was squeaked apart, and a broken arrow had been shot towards Xu Sheng like lightning.

Xu Sheng's heart was full of grief at this time, and his attention was actually a little scattered.

But whoever made Liu Chong's appearance too sensational, it was difficult for Xu Sheng not to pay attention.

He saw the samurai bow on the chariot and knew that it was not good, and he grabbed a card in his hand and stood in front of him.

"Smack!"

There was a violent explosion, and the card made of logs was shot open by an iron cone arrow, and the arrow shot straight at Xu Sheng's face after breaking the card.

Between the lightning and flint, Xu Sheng hurriedly lowered his head, and the arrow that was blocked by the card and deviated from the trajectory hit Xu Sheng's pocket.

The spark rubbed out, and Xu Sheng fell to the ground with his head down.

Those Shangdang soldiers who were surrounding the chariot saw that their main general shot the opposing fighter with a single blow, and the crowd was surging and shouted enthusiastically.

And what about Liu Pet?

He kicked the right side of the car lightly, and then the chariot began to deflect under the control of the right side of the car, and began to gallop in front of the Shangdang army.

And Liu Chong held high the vermilion lacquer bow in his hand and shouted loudly, constantly inspiring the party troops present.

In this way, the Shangdang army looked at the Taishan army on the opposite side dragging their main generals and remnants, and retreated back to the barrier just now.

So, the morale is doubled!

……

Outside the barrier of the Shangdang army, Zhao Yun was dispatching the second wave of offensive, and Xu Sheng of the front camp fought well, and captured a wall of the Shangdang army in just a moment after the battle, and played the military might of the Taishan army.

But soon, Zhao Yun saw that something was wrong, the yellow tide, which originally represented his own military strength, suddenly seemed to hit a strong dam when it was surging south, and the whole thing was scattered, and then returned against the tide.

Zhao Yun immediately realized that Xu Sheng should have been fiercely blocked, and he couldn't support it, and at this time, the only ones who could quickly rescue him were the elite under his own tent, and the army was trapped.

So, he shouted:

"Where is Han Dang?"

Han Dang, who was leading his subordinates to guard under the tent of the camp, heard this, and replied loudly:

"The last general!"

Immediately afterward, he saw Zhao Yun's horse whip pointing ahead, and angrily ordered:

"You will lead your troops into battle and immediately support Xu Sheng."

The corners of Han Dang's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, that Xu Sheng kid is still his junior, and he will have to save him himself. , but Han Dang also knew that it was not that his life was lighter than Xu Sheng, but that the enemy camp occupied by Xu Sheng at this moment was the fulcrum of our army in front of the battle.

Once Xu Sheng was squeezed out of the barrier, it would be difficult to break through to the enemy defense line so quickly.

Therefore, Han Dang still held his fists and took his orders, and then took Sun Qing, Dou Tai, Wang Ji and others to the battle and pressed up.

As soon as Han Dang left, Zhao Yun immediately adjusted his tactics, and he ordered the remaining left and right battalions to start attacking the barrier in front of them at the same time, so that more points could blossom together.

In this way, for a while, the drums sounded loudly, the front lines of each battalion shouted, and the entire Baigu Mountain defense line suddenly fought everywhere!

All at once, the battle was pushed to a climax.

……

When Han Dang rushed into the front camp with 200 soldiers in full armor, he saw Xu Sheng sitting on a high cart and roaring:

"Brothers, this time let's kill together, let's go out together! Life is the same team, death is the same hole! ”

At this moment, Xu Sheng's state was not good, although Liu Chong's arrow was blocked by his pocket, the huge impact still made him lose his balance.

In this way, he can only rely on the high cart to dispatch the army.

Under Xu Sheng's dispatch, the remaining former battalion officials are building a defensive line under the cover of antlers and barriers, Xu Sheng understands very well that there is a peerless fierce general like Liu Pet on the opposite side, and he will inevitably come to recover this barrier, and at this moment he must hold this place and wait for reinforcements from outside to come in.

And at this time, he saw Han Dang and his two hundred trapped soldiers entering the camp, he hurriedly beckoned, and when he saw Han Dang rushing over, he was ashamed:

"Old Han, I missed my brothers' lives!"

Han Dang just glanced at the corpses on the open ground in the camp, and saw the wounded who were constantly being sent out, and knew that the damage to the front camp was not small.

The military situation was urgent, and he just asked:

"How are you going to use me in battle?"

Xu Sheng wanted this sentence, his face was full of hatred, and he said hatefully:

"The enemy commander is brave, he thinks he is excellent in archery, I want to borrow your condor archers to help me ambush the enemy commander."

Han dang shook his head, and then patted his chest:

"I'm enough!"

But after thinking about it, he felt uneasy, he even pulled out a hand, this son looks like a Han, but he has a pair of royal blue eyes, his face is still velvet, but he is already tall, and then he listened to Han Dang's introduction:

"This is the magic shot of my trapped army, Ku Digan, Han Ming Hu Law, Shuofang Ele Clan, his skills are still above me, with him, foolproof."

This warrior named Hu Luding was very frightened, and he was not fluent in Chinese, so he could only bow to Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng was suspicious of this miscellaneous general, but out of respect and trust in Han Dang, he directly said the plan:

"Old Han, the enemy will inevitably attack first after a while, remember, the enemy is riding in a vermilion chariot, his whole body is crimson, and he is holding a huge bow. When I appear that day, I will cry out from above, and he will shoot me when he sees that I am not dead. And at this time, you shoot him with this Hu Rule. ”

In fact, Xu Sheng is using himself as bait to catch that Liu pet, needless to say, there is no need to mention the risks.

And Han Dang's side, one didn't understand, and the other felt that it should be like this, so no one came to persuade him.

In this way, there was a hustle and bustle on the south of the wall, and the party soldiers who had greatly increased their morale came under the leadership of Liu Chong.

According to Xu Sheng's plan, the Taishan army retreated in front of him, and pushed it to a position that was only a hundred steps away from Xu Sheng.

At this time, the sound of drums sounded from the corridor, and a chariot like flames appeared on the battlefield.

At this time, Xu Sheng shouted:

"Shoot!" Then, he turned around and lay on the ground, dodging a heavy arrow shot by Liu Pet. And when he stood up again, he saw that the position of the shooter on the vermilion chariot was empty, and the enemy commander was being dragged to the chariot by the panicked charioteers, and then ran back wildly.

When Xu Sheng turned his gaze to look at Han Shi again, he saw Han Dang giving a thumbs up to Na Hu Rule! At this time, Xu Sheng had only one thought in his heart:

"Good man, you don't know Chinese, otherwise he will have you in Yantai Pavilion one day!"
