Chapter 10 The Great War is Approaching (I) Three Watches

Luo Tianchu couldn't refuse, so he had to agree. Wu Jiedao: "At the moment of the great enemy, the generals must not hesitate, please send troops to the commander." Luo Tianchu let out a sigh, calmed down, and said: "Okay, the strength of Dasanguan is not much expensive, and it is necessary to have rich combat experience and tacit understanding, only the elite of the three thousand Song army in Shencha Village can take on this task." Yang Congyi got up and said: "The brothers of Shenchazhai are willing to obey the dispatch and go to the soup to fight the fire and die." Luo Tianchu praised: "General Yang is mighty, but you alone is not enough, it would be better if General Wu Ling was in charge." Wu Lan got up and said, "Wu Lan takes the order." Luo Tianchu turned to Lu Fei and said: "If there are masters of the rivers and lakes in the enemy army attacking Dasanguan, please ask the master to work hard, I don't know how the master's injury is?" Lu Fei smiled: "It's okay, you should go down there." Luo Tianchu said happily: "That's good, you can leave today, just bring a month's worth of food, and everything is arranged by General Wu Lan." Remember to set up more checkpoints, reconnoiter the military situation, if there are enemy soldiers coming, you can use our tactics to break the enemy. "Wu Lan, Lu Fei, and Yang Congyi received the order and said yes.

Luo Tianchu said to Wu Jie again: "Wu Jingluo, I don't know if the monk Yuan's city guarding utensils can be prepared?" Wu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, I'll take you to check." The group walked out of the hall, walked through the playground, and climbed the stone steps up the city walls. When the soldiers saw that all the generals were in good spirits, they were ready to review. Luo Tianchu saw that the city wall was full of stones, rolling wood, and feather arrows, and said happily: "It's rare to be able to prepare so much in a hurry." Wu Jiedao: "The most important thing in Qinling is stone and wood. The feather arrow was brought by Zhang Jun, and it was defeated by Fuping before it could be used, but fortunately, the military supplies were not damaged. What is most lacking is hot oil, which is hard to find here. Luo Tianchu groaned: "Then use it again at a critical time, don't waste it." ”

His eyes were suddenly attracted by a giant ballista the size of a bed, and he said strangely: "What is this?" Wu Jie said: "This is a three-bow bed crossbow, which is the secret weapon of our army, if it is not there, I will not have much confidence in this battle." Luo Tianchu looked at the bed crossbow carefully and was very curious. Wu Jie explained: "We added three strong bows to a ballista, and the last one was installed in reverse, hence the name 'three-bow bed crossbow'. The bowstring is made from animal tendons and uses the combined force of multiple bows to fire arrowheads. The body of the crossbow is sandalwood, light and tough, with iron as the arrow chamber and steel as the crossbow machine, and it is fired with a wooden hammer, which is infinitely powerful. Luo Tianchu gasped and said, "How long does this bow have range?" Wu Jie smiled: "Send an arrow for everyone to see." After receiving the order, the two soldiers in charge of the bed crossbow took out a long arrow two feet long, shaped like a spear, with a three-edged armor-piercing cone and three iron feathers at the end of the arrow. The soldier put the long arrow on the bed crossbow, twisted the hand shaft together, and when the arrow was in place, adjusted the angle and struck down the wooden hammer.

With a 'poof' sound, the six bowstrings shook violently at the same time, and the long arrow **** came out like a flying dragon, drawing a long arc, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a black dot and fell. Many people have seen its power for the first time, and Luo Tianchu was shocked: "This range is enough for fifteen hundred zhang, right?" Wu Jie smiled: "It's two thousand zhang, and five arrows can be fired at the same time at one time." Luo Tianchu said: "How many such bed crossbows do we have?" Wu Jie said: "One hundred and thirty, forty thousand arrowheads, if the arrows are not enough, we can also make them from local materials." Luo Tianchu said happily: "Great, hey, what is this?" Wu Jie saw that he was referring to the small crossbow in the soldier's hand, and said: "This is called the 'Divine Arm Crossbow', which is similar to the principle of the 'Three-Bow Bed Crossbow', using the process of a composite bow, but it is lighter and suitable for individual soldiers." Luo Tianchu took a 'Divine Arm Crossbow' and hung the bowstring with a hard pull, and praised: "What a strong bow! Can a soldier with such a strong bow pull it open?" Wu Jie smiled: "Not everyone has the strength of a commander, do you see the iron ring like a stirrup at the front end of the crossbow, the soldier has to put his foot in to borrow force to pull it away, and it has a range of three hundred and seventy zhang." There were plenty of crossbows for each soldier. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "The golden soldiers are mainly cavalry, and these two long-range weapons are their nemesis. ”

At this time, Cao Wu hurriedly ran over and said: "Qi Qi Wu Jingluo, General Yang, the brothers of Shencha Village have been fully assembled, and now the village is empty, and the tents and flags are too late to pack up, I don't know what to do." Wu Jie said: "Burn it, leave nothing to Jin Bing." Cao Wugang was about to receive the order to go, Luo Tianchu said: "Shencha Village is in danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, why give up?" Wu Jie said: "Shencha Village has no city, it is difficult to defend for a long time, we only have 15,000 troops, and then divide the troops to defend Shencha Village is too scattered, it is better to concentrate and stick to the monks." Luo Tianchu thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "I think that Shencha Village can't be handed over to the Jin soldiers, if the Jin soldiers go directly to the monk Yuan City without much effort, the morale will be greatly boosted, and our army suddenly sees the arrival of 100,000 troops, it is inevitable that there will be a fear of the enemy, the success or failure of this battle depends on morale, and the momentum must not be lost." ”

Wu Jie nodded slowly and said, "What does the commander think is good?" Luo Tianchu said: "Our army should meet the enemy in Shencha Village, give the enemy a blow to the head, and then withdraw after frustrating the enemy's spirit." I personally led 5,000 soldiers to Shencha Village to meet the enemy, and hoped that Wu Jingluo would sit in the monk Yuan and press the battle for me. Wu Jie said: "You are seriously injured, you can't go to the front line in person, let's choose someone else." Luo Tianchu said: "The commander will only use his life when he goes to the battlefield, and he can't take care of this injury." Zhu Yushi said: "I'll go with you." Luo Tianchu nodded and said, "Okay." Yue Yun, Zhao Hengshan, Wu Jie, Lu Yi and others also asked for battle, Luo Tianchu said: "Our strength cannot be fully exposed to the enemy at one time, and we don't have to go all." Brother Yue and Brother Zhao were injured in the battle of Fengxiang, please first recuperate from the monk's original injury, and Xiao Zhu and Lu Zhai can go with me. Zhao Hengshan hurriedly said: "Grandma's, this injury of the Sprinkle family is not in the way, you can see that this injured leg can move freely." Yue Yun pulled his clothes and said in a low voice: "What Xiao Luo is saying now is a military order, you are called a disobedient order, and you will be killed." Zhao Hengshan said angrily: "Let Lao Tzu dry bird eggs in the rear, it's better to die happily!" Yue Yun frowned and said: "You ......" shook his head helplessly at the moment, there was no way to take him. Luo Tianchu said: "Brother Zhao, when you are injured, I promise to let you be a pioneer, how about a good kill?" Zhao Hengshan shook his head and said: "Don't want to use this to fool the Sprinkle family, and I'll talk about it later." Luo Tianchu's head was as big as a fight, and when he was helpless, Lu Fei suddenly flashed in front of Zhao Hengshan and hit the acupoints on his body. Zhao Hengshan's body weakened, fell down, and said angrily: "What are you doing surnamed Lu!" Lu Fei said with a straight face: "You despise the boss, disobey the general's order, and don't kill your black head It's already an extrajudicial grace, and someone is coming! Tie up this black guy and imprison him, and the commander can't release it before returning to the monk's place!" Zhao Hengshan scolded: "You are plotting against the Sprinkle family, despicable and shameless! Dare enough to untie the Sprinkle family's acupoint battle for 300 rounds." Lu Fei said with a smile: "If you want to fight, there will be more opportunities, so you can be sobered up for a while." Why are you still stunned? Why are you still tied up?" The soldiers were very afraid of Zhao Hengshan, and they trembled and brought a few hemp ropes, and they wanted to tie them up. Zhao Hengshan glared and said: "Rabbit cubs, dare to tie you Zhao Ye, see if I don't clean you up in the future." Lu Fei said with a calm face: "How can you use hemp rope to exchange for iron chains to tie this black guy." Zhao Hengshan gritted his teeth and said: "You surnamed Lu are really ruthless, we have settled this Liangzi." Lu Fei ignored him, let the soldiers tie him up with all hands and feet, and carried him away amid his scolding. (To be continued.) )
