Liu Song Hanque

Chapter 400: Bed Crossbow
"I'm here, General Yuan, please rest assured."

Liu Yizhen still felt sorry for Yuan Huzhi.

Yuan Huzhi knew the decision of Liu Song Central Committee.

Liu Yizhen didn't know how many times Yuan Huzhi had doubts in his heart, or even how many times he had scolded him in his heart, but it didn't matter.

The important thing is that he kept it.

"General Yuan's act of loyalty reminds me of Emperor Xiaozong and General Kuai En."

As soon as these words came out, Yuangozhi, who already had tears in his eyes, couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, and instantly flowed over his entire face like a spring.

"I have been waiting for Your Majesty for a long time!"

One sentence made Liu Yizhen feel his nose sore.

Both the monarch and his ministers seemed to be thinking of Liu Yifu who died in the Shangdang battle, and they sat together sadly, at a loss for what to do.

"His Majesty."

Yuan Huzhi's emotions came and went quickly, and after a while of depression, he said to Liu Yizhen: "Your Majesty shouldn't come here in person!"

"Although this Yangping Pass is a famous pass that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, our army is at a disadvantage after all, and it is difficult to stop Helian Bobo's full attack. If..."

Kakinoyuki couldn't be more aware of the danger of staying here.

He was very touched that Liu Yi could really come.

But if Liu Yizhen is caught or even killed...

That Yuanhu is afraid of committing suicide!
The emperor's personal arrival is naturally a very powerful medicine for the defenders in the pass, but not for a general like Yuan Mori who always pays attention to the overall situation.

The Son of Heaven took the dangerous place personally, this kind of pressure was simply unbearable for Yuan Gouzhi, I am afraid that since he came to the battlefield, he would have to leave a little mind behind to protect the safety of the Son of Heaven.

Xie Hui, who had a close relationship with Yuan Huzhi, shook his head.

"Stop talking about that now."

"The emperor came because there was really no better way."

Then, Xie Hui informed Yuan Huzhi of the "Strategy for Trapped Dragons" that had been discussed again.

After knowing the plan, Kakinoyuki also sat there, unable to recover for a long time.

This plan is a bit too bold!
So bold that Yuanhuzhi suspected that Liu Yizhen and Xie Hui made up words to deceive him...

However, since Liu Yizhen appeared here in person, it is the biggest evidence to expose the lie, so even if Yuanhuzhi doesn't believe it anymore, he can only believe it now.

"General Gaki must have understood now."

Liu Yizhen pointed to the closed wall not far away: "This wall, if you can stand it, you must defend it, if you can't bear it, you must defend it!"

"And now that I have met Helian Bobo, he knows that I am behind this wall, and he will break through this wall at all costs."

"It's just that this time... no one will die!"

Yuan Huzhi looked at Liu Yizhen, and seemed to see another somewhat similar face in a daze.

In order to buy time for the main force of the Song army to escape, Liu Yifu stayed in Shangdang and told Tuoba Si his whereabouts.

Now, Liu Yizhen is also exposing himself to Helian Bobo to delay the war in the north.

"Liu's son of heaven is really bold and ambitious."

After listening to the whole plan, Yuan Huzhi also understood that Liu Yizhen could not retreat.

This wall cannot be retreated either!

"As long as His Majesty has an order, the ministers will fight to the death!"

"Don't be so exaggerated."

The aura that had just been ignited was interrupted mercilessly by Liu Yizhen.

"Defend the city, there is no need to risk your life to defend it."

Saying that, Liu Yizhen looked at Yuan Huzhi with a strange expression.

"I went to see the wall this morning. Helian Bobo's attacking weapon is mainly a catapult?"

"Exactly."

Yuan Huzhi didn't notice the abnormality in Liu Yizhen's expression, but poured bitter water on the contrary.

"Yangping Pass is on the edge of the Hanzhong Basin, and the terrain is relatively low. Helian's vigorous catapults attack us still have a geographical advantage, and it is indeed difficult to resist."

"The reason why two of the three front walls were breached was because the walls couldn't withstand the shells, and a part of them collapsed, allowing the enemy to rush in. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to break through!"

"..."

Seeing Yuan Huzhi complaining about Helian Bobo's catapult, Liu Yizhen immediately asked: "If I can destroy Helian Bobo's catapult, General Yuan thinks he can hold the wall?"

"can!"

"Of course!"

Yuan Huzhi said to himself: "If there is no catapult, our army is still guarding the first pass wall!"

"it is good!"

Liu Yizhen also made a promise on the spot.

"Wait until Helian Bobo pushes the catapult next time, make sure he never comes back!"

Kakinoyuki's eyes widened: "Is that true?"

"Naturally!"

"We and the Han army can lose to the Hu tribe because of the lack of horses outside the Great Wall. But if the equipment and equipment are not as good as the opponent's in attacking and defending the city, then it will be a big embarrassment!"

Regardless of whether it was Wuhu Luanhua or the shame of Jingkang and the entry of the Qing Dynasty, the Han people's technology was able to win and even beat these barbaric aliens.

Seeing Yuan Huzhi looking like he was dying to live in front of the catapult, Liu Yizhen felt ashamed.

"General Yuan, go and collect some bows and crossbows now, I want both the good and the bad!"

Afterwards, Liu Yizhen looked around and set his sights on Xue Andu.

"You, come with me."

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Yizhen took Xue Andu and the soldiers carrying the crossbows into a small dark room. His scalp was numb, and he didn't know what terrible tragedy happened inside.

It wasn't until midnight that Fan Daoji knocked open the door of the small black room with food, and the things inside were exposed to a bunch of curious sights outside the door.

"A crossbow?"

Taking off his battle armor and only wearing a short shirt, Liu Yizhen adjusted the trigger in his hand and responded, "It's a crossbow, but I like to call it a crossbow!"

The bed crossbow, the ultimate killer when the cannon was not invented!
The bed crossbow originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it is recorded in many historical materials.

For example, in the "Chen Qiu Biography" in the Later Han Dynasty, it is recorded that there is a kind of large crossbow in Chen Qiu's army, "the string is a big wooden bow, and the feather spear is a arrow. When the machine is fired, it can be shot at a distance of more than a thousand steps and kills many people."

A bed crossbow that can shoot thousands of steps away!
The lethality brought by this terrifying kinetic energy is actually not weaker than ordinary firearms, but because it is inconvenient to carry, it can only be used with chariots, so Fan Daoji called it a "carriage crossbow" when he saw it. .

As cavalry entered the stage of history, chariots were gradually abandoned by military strategists, and by the way, these crossbows were also abandoned.

Although this thing is inconvenient to move, it is really fierce.

And now Liu Yizhen just wanted to guard the wall, and not to bring the bed crossbow to chase and kill Helian Bobo, walking or not was not something Liu Yizhen had to consider.

Now Liu Yizhen only needs to consider one thing, and that is——

Be fierce!

Be so fierce that Helian Bobo will be scared when he sees the city wall!
It must be so fierce that the Hu people in the world dare not attack the city of the Han family with a few catapults!
This is in line with Liu Yizhen's expectations for the bed crossbow!
