"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will inform Long Yiwei of this matter later, and let them handle it." Lou Yang replied respectfully at the moment.

"Yes." Hearing that Long Yiwei was going to do this, Su Shi put his mind at ease, with Feng Meng and them in charge of keeping an eye on, then there should be no problems.

Liu Chuan on the side and some people from the Science and Technology Bureau heard that Long Yiwei would be responsible for staring at them in the future, and their hearts trembled. Don't look at the fact that Long Yiwei has not been established for a long time, but the few cases that have been completed are indeed huge.

So far, there have been three families of the original Goryeo who have been found out by them and killed them.

There are only three families, and more than 1,000 people have been affected by accidents, and the crimes they have committed are just because they have encroached on the fertile land of some ordinary people because of greed. This is a trivial matter in any dynasty, even if it is stabbed out, at most it is just a fine for returning the land.

But the final sentence given by Long Yiwei in handling the case was a capital crime.

It can also be seen how important Su Shi is to land policy. It is also because of this incident that the officials of the Dragon Empire can now be said to be talking about the Dragon Yiwei and change color.

I was a little scared in my heart, but thinking that I had never meant to betray the Dragon Empire, Liu Chuan and some officials slowly relaxed their hearts again. As an official under Su Shi, one thing can still be guaranteed, that is, as long as you do things with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about any problems, even if someone wants to frame you, they will be asked to find out before making a decision. At least, so far, there has not been a single unjust, false and wrongful conviction.

Su Shi deliberately said these words in front of Liu Chuan and others, which was to ring the alarm bell for them.

The current Ministry of Science and Technology has just developed the first generation of dragon bullets, and there will be various inventions in the future, once these things are used by outsiders or enemies, it is tantamount to shooting himself in the foot, which he will never allow.

To develop science and technology, patents also need to be protected, and only by doing these things well can we better use them for ourselves and achieve our goals earlier.

......

Liaoyang City, Tokyo.

Yeluren was not idle while training his troops first, and from time to time he would send scouts to investigate the movements of the dragon army on the opposite side.

The towers rose from the ground, and it was impossible for such a big movement to hide from the outposts he had sent. After learning about this, Yeluren didn't care at first.

The watchtower is dead and cannot be moved. In other words, the existence of such a thing can only be used for defense, not offense, and even if so, there is nothing to worry about.

Time passed day by day, more and more elites of the Liao Kingdom came to the outside of Liaoyang City and began to assemble, and after the original 400,000 troops had been concentrated at 350,000, Yeluren knew that it was almost time to meet the bayonets of the Dragon Army.

Without waiting for all the armies to be assembled, Yeluren first prepared to fight and wait, and the first thing to do was to test the power of the watchtower.

Gai Zhaoyin, the Gai family of the seven surnames of the Liao Kingdom, became the vanguard of Yelu Renxian, and led 10,000 troops out of Liaoyang to come straight to the direction of Yuancheng, they wanted to test what was so powerful about the watchtower.

The watchtower stands in front, more than nine meters high, and some low bottoms are divided into four floors, and there are 30 soldiers on each floor, distributed in each floor.

Inside the tower, food rations and fresh water for fifteen days are stored. The bottom of the building is blocked by an iron gate, so unless it is opened from the inside, it will be very difficult to attack from the outside.

After observing from a distance, Gai Zhao Yindai found that it was not a big deal, so he slowly approached the nearest watchtower with a well-fed army.

100 steps... Eighty steps... Fifty steps... Twenty steps...

Until the first batch of 100 Liao soldiers came to the first watchtower, there was no movement in the building, giving people the feeling of a dead building.

Hundreds of Liao soldiers came to the watchtower, and also tried to break in, but the heavy iron door could not be opened without sharp weapons. After working for more than half an hour, there was still no way, Gai Zhaoyin followed with the army.

"It's just a watchtower

Don't worry too much about it, the army moves on." Gai Zhaoyin, who arrived later, said indifferently.

It's just a watchtower that doesn't move, what threat can it have. The people inside don't dare to come out, so it's better to suffocate inside.

With the general's order, the 10,000 vanguard Liao army crossed the watchtower and went forward, followed by the second watchtower, the third...

Along the way, all the watchtowers are not the slightest movement, a long time, let the cover Zhaoyin mood relaxed. It seems that the general still looks down on the dragon army, and they built these watchtowers to scare people, and it turns out that they have no use and attack power.

The 10,000 Liao soldiers who were relaxed in their hearts passed more than 50 watchtowers in a row, and the sky gradually darkened.

"The army halted its advance, and encamped to rest." Seeing that it was getting dark, the soldiers ran for a day, but they didn't even see a ghost of the dragon army, so Gai Zhaoyin decided to let everyone rest and go again tomorrow.

He had already thought that at today's rate, he was afraid that he would be defeated in two days, and at that time, he would let the Long Army know the strength of their elite Liao soldiers, and tell them not to think that if they defeated the Goryeo Army, they would really think that they were invincible in the world.

The military camp was set up in the center of the three watchtowers, and at this time, neither Gai Zhaoyin nor 10,000 elite Liao soldiers put these watchtowers in their eyes.

In their opinion, this is not a very big watchtower, how many soldiers can be stored in it, even if they all rush out, how many people are there, it is impossible to put it in the eyes of their 10,000 army.

Yes, if you just rush out, with only thirty Dragon Army soldiers in one watchtower, it is indeed impossible to cause any losses to the elite of the 10,000 Liao soldiers. But what if they don't rush out, but just shoot arrows?

Su Shi's strength lies in strong logistical support, and the endless flow of arrows is one of them.

No one knew that in every watchtower, there were bundles of sharp arrows stored in every open space.

It can also be said that the existence of the watchtower was originally to injure the enemy with bows and arrows, rather than relying on manpower to rush out and kill the enemy.

It was getting darker and darker, and many Liao soldiers fell asleep after walking for a day, and it was at this time that there was movement in the originally silent watchtower.

The three watchtowers closest to them were the first to react, and when a dazzling fire appeared in the sky, fireworks burst into the darkness, and the attack began.

Within the three watchtowers, a total of 90 dragon soldiers, each holding eight consecutive rounds, opened the shooting hole, and began to frantically vent sharp arrows to the ground.

Not to mention the non-bone arrows, not to mention the wooden arrows, they are all sharp iron arrows, but the arrows are also in the shape of a barb, so as to ensure that as long as they are shot at a person, you will have to go through a very painful process if you want to pull them out.

Ninety people, ninety eight shots, can guarantee that in a very short time, more than 700 arrows can be fired. When so many arrows fell from the sky and the earth, and went straight to the heads of the Liao soldiers who were resting nearby, a scream sounded in the dark night, spreading far away.

As the screams continued, more and more Liao soldiers came out of their tents and then became new targets, being shot by arrows and wailing in pain.

"What's going on? Where is the enemy?" Gai Zhaoyin, who was wearing a general's armor, also walked out of the military tent, and what he saw was a scene where his soldiers were hit by arrows, and the arrows were sent out from the watchtower.

"Bastard, the bow and arrow came out of the watchtower, and there are people inside, quickly knock it out of the way and kill these dragon troops." After seeing the situation clearly, Gai Zhaoyin roared angrily.

Some Liao soldiers heard the order, ran to the bottom of the watchtower, and began to push hard against the iron gate, and some Liao soldiers slashed towards the tower's body with a big knife in their hands.

It's all made of cement and steel bars, how can this kind of cold weapon be destroyed?

Yes, when there are enough people, it can cause destruction over time, but the question is, will the dragon army give them enough time?

Arrows were constantly being shot from the top of the head, and every moment their comrades were shot or killed, but they were wounded by arrows

。

Before the watchtowers were formed, nearly 100 Liao troops were killed and hundreds were wounded by arrows.

"Withdraw! Withdraw."

Gai Zhaoyin said with red eyes, he couldn't just throw 10,000 troops here just to deal with the three watchtowers, so that even if he wins, it will be a defeat.

In the dark night, the Liao soldiers began to retreat, looking like they wanted to stay away from these three watchtowers, but they retreated, and they were far away from these three watchtowers, but they were closer to other watchtowers. Then the watchtowers began to shoot arrows at them.

If the distance is long, you can directly use a compound bow that can shoot farther, and if the distance is close, use a fast rate of fire with eight consecutive shots.

The arrows kept falling, and many Liao soldiers suffered casualties among the arrows. At this time, Gai Zhaoyin finally knew that he underestimated the lethality of the watchtower, and he fell into a trap.

"Withdraw, keep withdrawing, withdraw all." In desperation, in the dark night, Gai Zhaoyin had to issue one order after another to retreat.

During the day, I walked under more than 50 watchtowers, and now I have to go back from these more than 50 watchtowers. One can imagine what a price to pay.

All the way back, there were constantly the wailing voices of the soldiers, and in this way they crossed the watchtowers that they walked through during the day, and waited until the sky was completely bright, and then they returned to yesterday's. At this time, when checking the casualties, Gai Zhaoyin was crying without tears.

When I set out yesterday, I led 10,000 troops, but now, there are only more than 7,000 people around me.
