Although the gang leaders and leaders present are all well-informed and familiar with the crossbow arrows used by people in the martial arts, they have never known that the army will also use such large crossbow arrows. At this time, listening to Li Qiufeng talk about the past, everyone was shocked. I can't imagine that the small crossbow arrows I have seen before have such a background.

Li Qiufeng continued: "The Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, and the Sima clan unified the world. A battlefield weapon like Zhuge Qiang's crossbow is a dream of soldiers, and there is no reason why the Jin Kingdom should not take it. It's just that when the Han army fought against Cao Wei, there were two weapons that were most important. One is a strong crossbow, and the other is a wooden ox and a flowing horse. Once the Han army was encircled and could not escape, the Han army often had to destroy these two weapons first, and would never allow them to fall into the hands of the enemy. After the fall of the Han Kingdom, both weapons were lost. It was not until after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty that Wang Quanbin, Cao Bin and other generals were ordered by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, to conquer Shu in the west. It is rumored that Cao Bin got the secret map of building Zhuge Qiang's crossbow in Shudi, and he was ingenious and improved the Zhuge crossbow to create a large crossbow that could be used in the battle array, which the Song army called the bed crossbow, also known as the bed crossbow. This kind of bed crossbow is much larger than Zhuge repeater, a crossbow machine can be loaded with two bows or three bows, using the combined force of multiple bows to fire arrows, the strength is far better than Zhuge repeater. Since the Battle of the Gaoliang River, the Song army was unable to fight with the Liao army in the field, and often took a defensive position when fighting. This bed crossbow showed its might, sniping countless generals and soldiers of the Liao army. Among the famous generals who died under the bed crossbow, the most famous one is Xiao Tzu Rin.

"It was still during the Battle of Lanyuan, the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao led the little emperor to lead the army in person, with Xiao Tzu Rin as the commander of the whole army. This person was brave and wise, and he made a plan before sending out the troops, not to entangle with the Dingzhou large array where the Song army was heavily assembled, but to bypass Dingzhou and go straight to Bianliang. In order to confuse the Song army, the main force of the Liao army under the command of the Empress Dowager Xiao advanced head-on, and Xiao Tzu Rin led a forward force to bypass Dingzhou and go straight to Bianliang to kill. At the beginning of the Song army, it really hit the plan, and heavy troops were gathered in Quanzhou. Unexpectedly, Xiao Tzu Rin's troops suddenly appeared under the city of Shanzhou.

"Lanzhou is not far from Bianliang, if you lose this city, then the door of Bianliang is wide open, and it is impossible to defend. The Song generals defending the city saw that the Liao army suddenly appeared under the city, and hurriedly defended the city with all their might. In order to break through Lanzhou as soon as possible and open the gate to Bianliang, Xiao Tzu Rin led the generals to watch the movements of the Song army defending the city outside the city. It's just that although Xiao Tzu Rin is arrogant, he is not so crazy that he wants to become the target of the Song army's bow and arrow. It was because of his position, far beyond the range of the Song army's bow and arrows. It's just that he didn't expect that the Song army would have a bed crossbow on Lanyuan City, and the range would be three times higher than that of the bow and arrow, and the lethality would be even more amazing. When the Song army saw that there was a general of the Liao army snooping outside the city, he immediately fired a bed crossbow at Xiao Tzu Rin at the head of the city.

Xiao Darin thought that his position was outside the range of the bow and arrow, and he was protected by shield soldiers on one side facing the Song army, so he thought he was foolproof. Unexpectedly, after the Song Army's bed crossbow was launched, Xiao Darin, who was in front of the generals, became the target of the bed crossbow. A crossbow bolt hit Xiao Darin's horse directly, and when he fell from the horse, he was hit in the ribs. However, this man was extremely fierce, and after falling to the ground, he struggled to stand up, pulled the crossbow out from under his ribs, and threw it to the ground. But in the blink of an eye, a third crossbow had been shot at his head. The strength of the bed crossbow is amazing, although Xiao Dalin has an iron helmet to protect his head, the crossbow penetrates the top of the helmet and penetrates his head. Xiao Dalin suddenly couldn't support it and fell to the ground. The generals were shocked and snatched him back. It's just that Xiao Dalin was seriously injured and died in the camp that night. The Song army knew that the commander of the Liao army died under the bed crossbow, and took advantage of the situation to attack the city. The Liao army lost its main general, but according to the rules of the Liao army, it was not allowed to retreat without the general's order. Although the Liao army was in turmoil, it still did not dare to retreat, so it had to fight to the death with the Song army. It's just that without the command of the commander, the Liao army collapsed on the whole front, and most of the forward troops were killed.

Later, Empress Dowager Xiao and the Emperor of Liao led the main force of the Liao army to the battlefield. However, Xiao Darin is the commander of the Liao army who is as famous as Yelu Xianzhen, and he is also the concubine of the Liao State, known for his bravery, and is known as the courage of the army. He died under the crossbow of the Song army, the whole Liao army was shaken, and the Empress Dowager Xiao personally supported his soul, wept bitterly, and dropped out of the dynasty for five days. As a result, the morale of the Liao army was low, and although they gathered heavy troops under the city of Lanyuan, no general dared to lead the army to attack the city, and most of them were afraid of the power of the bed crossbow. Later, Kou Zhun accompanied Song Zhenzong to Lanyuan City, and the Song army from all walks of life gathered, and the Song army appeared behind the Liao army. Empress Dowager Xiao had no choice but to give up the attempt to conquer the south and sign an alliance with the Song State. Since then, there has been no major war between the Song and Liao countries, and the peace has been maintained for a hundred years, and the bed crossbow has contributed a lot. ”

Qingfeng Daoist said: "The sword can kill people, and it can also save people." It's just that there are only a few people saved under the sword, and this bed crossbow has saved countless lives in a battle, which is really good. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "What the Dao Chief said is good. After the fall of the Song Kingdom, this bed crossbow fell into the hands of the Mengyuan army. When the Yuan army marched westward, it had a lot of power in this bed crossbow. It's just that Meng Yuan was brutal, and although he won the world, he didn't sit for a few years. Most of the bed crossbows built by the Yuan army were transported to the Western Regions, and the number left in the Central Plains was very small. Moreover, when the Yuan army built the bed crossbow, it relied on the Han craftsmen who were captured by them. Most of these craftsmen were mindful of their homeland, and most of them refused to make weapons for the Yuan army to slaughter their compatriots. Even if it is created, the power is less than one compared to the bed crossbow used by the Song army. Later, the bed crossbow in the hands of the Yuan army had become an ornament, and it was useless.

"After Emperor Taizu drove Meng Yuan, he also got a few bed crossbows. It's just that by then it was rotten and couldn't be used. Later, Emperor Chengzu repeatedly raised troops to the north, and also ordered skilled craftsmen to build bed crossbows. Because the method of building has been oblivion for a long time, although it is barely possible to build a few, it is not comparable to the power of a real bed crossbow. After Emperor Yingzong hunted in the north, the Wara army marched south and besieged Beijing. Yu Shaobao led a large army to guard Beijing, and also set up the bed crossbow left by Emperor Chengzu on the city wall to resist the Tartar soldiers, but the lethality was greatly reduced and did not play a role. ”

Li Qiufeng said this, paused for a moment, and then said: "I just didn't expect to see a real bed crossbow in the belly of this mountain today." ”

Everyone looked at the crossbow arrow lying on the ground, and they couldn't imagine that this thing actually had this origin, and everyone had a lot of thoughts in their hearts. Deng Yao said: "Li Daxia, you said that this is the bed crossbow, it must have been built by Yao Guangxiao." Since he knows the method of building, why didn't he give it to Emperor Chengzu?"

Li Qiufeng shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either." Yao Guangxiao's behavior is strange everywhere. If we hadn't seen it with our own eyes, who would have thought that he would have built such a majestic city in the middle of this mountain?"

Situ Qiao accidentally touched the mechanism, and his heart was shocked and angry, but he was more ashamed. He always thought that the skill of organ information was unparalleled in the world, but he fell into a trap, which caused the agency to be activated, and almost killed everyone. Although everyone did not blame him, the chagrin in his heart became heavier and heavier. At this moment, he just wanted to show his means and save the face he had just lost, because he didn't want to delay here. He said to Li Qiufeng: "Although Yao Guangxiao buried this bed crossbow is powerful, it is not a big deal. Let's go ahead and open the gates and see if we can find a secret passage to the outside of the mountain. ”

At this time, everyone was frightened for a while, but seeing that this bed crossbow was so powerful, if they entered the city, they were afraid that they would encounter a more lethal mechanism. It was because everyone was more afraid in their hearts, and after listening to Situ Qiao's words, no one answered for a while.

Liu Yong said: "We were careless for a while, and we almost landed. It's just that although this bed crossbow is powerful, as long as we are careful, it is not a big problem. Now that we're here, we can only move forward and retreat. Without this determination, how can we survive the Jedi?"

When everyone saw Liu Yong's decision, they had to nod their heads in agreement. Li Qiufeng looked at Zhu Sanjia, who was still lying on the ground, and thought to himself: "Brother Zhu has been poisoned, life and death are unknown, if you take him with you, I am afraid that it will be very inappropriate." It's just that I want to leave him here, but it's impossible. W-How is this good?"

At this moment, he heard Zhu Sanjia moaning and slowly opened his eyes. Li Qiufeng hurriedly grabbed him and squatted down, and asked anxiously, "Brother Zhu, can you hear me?"

Zhu Sanjia squeezed out a smile and said in a trembling voice: "I can hear it." I've heard everything you just said. It's just that I can't open my eyes, as if someone has pinched my eyelids, but it's much better now. ”

Li Qiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this. Liu Yong stepped forward and said to Li Qiufeng: "It seems that the Huashan Sect's antidote pill is still effective against the poison in Mr. Zhu. Brother Li don't have to worry, we will support Mr. Zhu forward and will never leave him alone. ”

After some discussion, everyone finally decided that Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan would protect the Zhu Sanjia, and Situ Qiao and Liu Yong would lead the way. Because Situ Qiao accidentally stepped on the mechanism, Liu Yong repeatedly reminded everyone that they must be careful when walking. If there is another surprise attack, everyone will form a circle and protect Zhu Sanjia in the middle.

Everyone moved forward again, and Li Qiufeng told Zhu Sanjia about the matter. Zhu Sanjia exclaimed: "It turns out that there are still bed crossbows hidden here! When I was a soldier in Xuanfu and Datong, I also saw several bed crossbows, but they were gorgeous in appearance, but they were unusable. The range is only two or three hundred paces, and it often falls halfway through, and its lethality is extremely low. It can only be placed on the city to scare people, and it is useless. ”

When he said this, he frowned, and said to Li Qiufeng: "Yao Guangxiao is the mastermind of King Yan, and the time when this cave was built was before King Yan raised his army. It stands to reason that since Yao Guangxiao already knew how to build a bed crossbow, he should give it to King Yan's army to use. It's just that I have never heard that King Yan used the bed crossbow in the battle of Jingyan, Yingzong's army defeated Tumu Fort, the Ming Dynasty was almost in danger of overturning, and I didn't hear of the bed crossbow in the defense of Beijing. Obviously, the Ming army has not used bed crossbows as weapons. This is strange, Yao Guangxiao secretly hid such a powerful weapon, what is he going to do?"

Li Qiufeng didn't answer, but a terrible thought slowly poured out of his heart. A moment later, he and Zhu Sanjia's eyes collided, and the two of them said in unison: "Usurpation?!"
