Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 971 What Qiang Yan hits is the bell of destiny!
"Xiao Yuefei beat up the three thieves, well done!"

This episode and all kinds of criminal evidence of the Xiangzhou Han family were quickly sent to the imperial case. Li Yan smiled after reading it, and turned his mind back to the Liaodong battlefield.

While Yan Ting was rectifying the rear, the front line continued to fight.

But compared to the initial rush to Liaoyang Mansion, when the "Iron Buddha" was dispatched to kill the Quartet, now entering the second stage, there are almost no large-scale battles, and they are all confrontations on small battlefields. The core is one word——

耗！
Back then, when Yang Guang conquered Goguryeo, although a million-strong army was destroyed, Goguryeo was also tossed enough by him. The standard damage was [-] to himself and [-] to the enemy.

When Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo again, the damage to him was even greater, and finally Li Zhi succeeded in destroying Goguryeo.

Counting the dynasty of Yang Jian, Goguryeo experienced the conquests of Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Li Shimin, and Li Zhi, and finally released a death sentence when he died, which promoted the rise of Tubo. He insisted on recognizing it as an ancestor, but no matter what, it was finally destroyed, right?

This is often the case with national power struggles. Numerous battles in history where the weak defeated the strong prove that when two countries that seem to be very different from each other in strength actually carry out a war of annihilation, the strong country may not be able to destroy the weak country, but such a fight between the two sides However, the damage to weak countries is often huge, because they don't have the foundation to consume.

What Yan Ting adopted was the seemingly stupidest but most incomprehensible method.

At this time, Li Yan's "Zuo Ming" incarnation sat on the eagle, overlooking the grain transportation road, and witnessed a new confrontation.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Five hundred Jinren cavalry came clamorously, led by another model worker, Wanyan Aguda.

However, the founding monarchs are often emperors on horseback, who have personally experienced the battlefield, but it is really rare to see someone like Wanyan Aguda constantly take the lead and take the lead in the charge.

And every time the gold master personally leads the army, it is the most dangerous moment for the Yan army, not to mention that the horse under the golden man's crotch is actually wearing half armor to protect many parts of the horse's body.

"Archery!"

The general in charge of escorting the food and grass was Kong Liang. With an order, a rain of arrows rose and shot towards Jin Bing's head.

Facing this level of attack, the Golden Cavalry once again demonstrated their superb riding skills.

They didn't even raise their shields to block them anymore, but directly hid in the horse's belly, minimizing the area they were hit by.

In just an instant, the hundreds of galloping horses became empty.

At this time, the armor worn by the horse came in handy, and the arrows did little damage to the mount. After the arrow rain fell, the cavalry appeared again.

After two or three reincarnations like this, they finally rushed to Yan Jun like a whirlwind, and immediately became two teams, drawing a thin black line on both sides.

Flying on both wings, turning back and forth, the standard formation of cavalry.

"Array!"

Kong Liang was not in a hurry, he had seen a lot, and when he gave orders, his tone did not fluctuate.

The Yan army's heavy armored infantry had already surrounded the convoy, holding sharp spears in their hands, and the auxiliary soldiers transporting food and grass raised their shields to protect the car in the center, forming a large airtight circular formation to the outside.

From the perspective of the Golden Cavalry, they seem to have encountered an iron hedgehog, with countless steel thorns sticking out, giving people the feeling that they have nowhere to start.

It's the rhythm of skill vs. equipment again.

But this time something is different.

Because Yan Jun also started to move.

It was originally an iron hedgehog lying motionless, but when it moved now, it was like a giant steel tortoise, crawling slowly step by step, exuding a heavy sense of oppression.

The golden cavalry, who lacked sufficient offensive capabilities, felt helpless for a while facing this huge round infantry phalanx covered in iron spikes.

The number of battles has increased, and both sides have become familiar with each other's strengths and weaknesses.

The Jin people are more and more able to avoid the arrows of the Yan army, and the Yan people's pawns are also more and more offensive and defensive.

But Wanyan Agu circled around and quickly found a flaw: "Prepare arrows and shoot at one spot, they won't be able to defend for long!"

"Roar!!"

The golden cavalry shouted their orders, and the formation changed again, gradually gathering together, the seven-dou bow in his hand was drawn up, and Wanyan Aguda himself held several sharp and heavy spears.

"I've been waiting for this time..."

Kong Liang sneered, and said to the guards on the left and right: "Hundred crossbows are ready!"

The guards immediately waved their hand gestures backwards, and the crossbowmen, who had practiced no less than a hundred times, rushed to the grain cart in the middle, and lifted off the thick cloth covering it, revealing the strange cart below.

It wasn't grain and grass, but a huge machine, divided into two rows, with a complex structure, a sharp shape, and a vicious and majestic aura.

"The hundred crossbow machine developed by the Ministry of Industry is much easier to use than the eight ox crossbow of the previous dynasty!"

Even though he has seen it many times, Kong Liang is filled with admiration and pride from the bottom of his heart.

The important weapon of Zhao Song's country is not the divine arm bow, but the eight-ox crossbow, also known as bed crossbow, bed crossbow or crossbow.

It is a huge bed crossbow that uses multiple bows to shoot arrows together. The so-called "eight cows" means that the bow is so strong that it takes eight cows to string it. This is obviously a bit exaggerated, but the normal eight cows For a crossbow, it really takes twenty or thirty strong soldiers to turn the winch together to put the thick crossbow string on the hair.

When firing, instead of pulling the trigger with your fingers, you use a wooden hammer to knock down the teeth that hold the crossbowstring, and the thick arrow will naturally pop out with a whoosh.

There is no doubt that such a sharp weapon does not need to create any super arrows at all, just by the power of its being shot, it is enough to pierce and kill the enemies blocking the arrow's path all the way, and the scene is amazing to think about!

The reason why this sharp weapon is famous in history is that in the battle of Chanzhou city a hundred years ago, the Song army used the eight-ox crossbow to shoot and kill Xiao Talin, a famous general of the Liao army, and finally completely promoted the Chanyuan alliance.

There are two kinds of records left behind. One is that Song General Zhang Huan consciously led the command and shot and killed Liao army leader Xiao Talin. The other is that the Liao army attacked the city on a large scale. , the arrow shot out and hit Xiao Talin in the middle. Only the person involved knows which kind is true.

Eight oxen crossbows are usually erected on the top of the city, or even in a huge army formation, and it is impossible to allocate them to ordinary troops. Now the hundreds of crossbows in the Yan army's team have another effect.

What it pursues is not a single arrow piercing and killing at touch, but quantity and density. Each repeater can have up to [-] firing slots. The tip of the crossbow protrudes outside, and the angle is tilted so that it can be aimed and adjusted.

At this time, the five crossbowmen pulled the handle up and down, the shields were withdrawn to the left and right, the defensive formation actively opened the gaps, and the three crossbows flew in succession, one by one emitting deadly arrows, pointing at the golden cavalry.

"emission!!"

The corner of Kong Liang's mouth raised a cruel arc, and he waved his palm.

When a series of sharp piercing winds whizzed past below, the sunlight seemed to become more dazzling for an instant, and the eagle in mid-air was startled, feeling a strong sense of vigilance.

Although this kind of ballista can't shoot into the sky yet, human equipment is getting more and more exaggerated, so it is necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace, increase training, and continue to improve and move.

"not good!!"

Compared with Yinger's struggle, Wanyan Aguda's face has changed drastically.

This is completely different from the pattering arrows. With the flash of hundreds of sharp edges, a large number of crossbow arrows shot over, instantly setting off a bloody storm.

The Jinren cavalry had always been used to attacking, but they never expected that the Yan army would launch such a sharp weapon. Amidst the miserable screams, dozens of cavalry at the front suddenly turned on their backs and fell down wailing.

While the crossbowmen were loading their arrows, the heavily armed infantry also pressed over, their eyes sharp and murderous, and behind them were ten craftsmen with pens in their hands, ready to feed back the actual combat information as soon as possible.

This is a habit set by Ling Zhen. The whole Ministry of Industry is affected, and they are becoming more and more good at training and creating. This hundred crossbow machine, which can fire twenty crossbows at a time, is designed by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, with the wisdom of the group. Brainstorm.

At this time, the crossbowmen quickly filled the crossbow arrows, and the three crossbow machines could spawn a bloody frenzy again after a while.

The only choice in front of the Golden Cavalry seemed to be to drop dozens of corpses, scatter in all directions like bereaved dogs, and flee.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and a cavalry general did not escape and recoiled, carrying the bitter cold wind, rushed to the front of the formation, and swished three black lines.

"A shield!!"

Kong Liang shouted anxiously, but he was half a beat too late, watching those spears draw a precise arc, directly inserted into the hinge shaft of the Hundred Crossbows, and stuck them tightly.

"The king is invincible! The king is invincible!!"

Shocking cheers erupted from the Jin crowd, because the person who shot was the majestic Wanyan Aguda.

The Jurchens are still used to calling them "Du Bo Ji Lie", but now that the races are becoming more and more diverse, they have also changed their name to "Jun Shang".

It is rare to have a king who takes the lead and shares the joys and sorrows with everyone, and even more so at the critical moment, he can turn the tide, and he will die naturally, and his momentum will skyrocket in an instant.

"The leader of the gold thief is really tyrannical!"

Kong Liang had to admit that the Lord of the Golden Man was indeed extraordinary in being able to reverse the situation when he first saw a lot of opportunities: "But there is another one to help our army, and you are not allowed to be so presumptuous!"

"Boom!"

It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, the golden man cheered, and the deafening sound was suppressed, and a bolt of lightning slammed into the head.

"here we go again!"

Wanyan Aguda didn't need to raise his head, he also knew that there must be a figure in a toga with long sleeves in mid-air, with his five fingers slightly spread, he fell down.

He resolutely gave up his horse, and galloped across the ground without looking back, dodging lightning strikes in time.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The golden cavalry is also used to it, and came roaring.

If Wanyan Aguda fails to show his personal courage and advances and retreats with the large army, the one above him will not do anything.

But once Wanyan Aguda got out of the main force, the one who promised to attack was thunderous, and then the sharp sword light came like a shadow.

Sure enough, Li Yan floated down, and the chain knife cut out.

The two fought fast, instantly opened up a battlefield where the force was completely beyond that of ordinary soldiers, until the golden cavalry rushed to protect Wanyan Aguda in the center again, and then fled away.

Wanyan Aguda's throat twitched, and he immediately slashed his knife, and said coldly: "'Zuo Ming', I am the Lord of the Great Gold, my destiny is in gold, you can't kill me!"

Li Yan's eyes were unpredictable, he didn't say much, his figure flashed like lightning, disappeared without a trace, and he had returned to midair, standing with his hands behind his back.

"The palm thunder is in the hands of a fellow daoist, it's really admirable to have such divine power!"

A Taoist stepped on the auspicious cloud and appeared floatingly. It was Lin Lingsu who was immortal.

Li Yandao: "This thunder method is still taught by Lin Daochang, thank you very much!"

Lin Lingsu said sincerely: "Wherever you are, fellow Taoists have a broad mind, and you are willing to share such wonderful internal training methods. I am very grateful to you!"

Li Yan's previous internal refining method was not systematic, it was just his own perception, but in Lin Lingsu's view, it opened a wonderful new door. It felt like starting from scratch and exploring step by step. There are many other places that are strategically located, and I was immediately inspired.

He felt that he had taken advantage of the Wulei magic in exchange, and after he still hadn't found a chance in the Kingdom of Jin, he wanted to see if he could help, but he saw Li Yan chasing Wanyan Agu and beating him, but in the end he couldn't succeed. Consolingly said: "This benefactor does have a body protected by Tianshu's fortune, so it may be difficult to kill him by force!"

Li Yan's tone was leisurely: "Not only Wanyan Aguda, but the entire Jurchens are the darlings of this era."

"The Jurchen's status is humble and they have been bullied, but they have worked hard for generations to gradually grow and accumulate a lot of money. Taking advantage of the decline of the Liao Kingdom, they rose strongly. If the Central Plains is still the former Song Dynasty, perhaps this group of Jurchen invaded south, and they are unmatched. "

"But now that the Central Plains Dynasty is Qiangyan, the rise of the Jurchens has been abruptly interrupted..."

In his opinion, although Jin Guo's peak state lasted less than [-] years, at least during this period of time, it was indeed the protagonist's script. As evidenced by the fate of the Golden Dragon, even the Xuannv of the Nine Heavens asked the One Hundred and Eight Demon Stars to choose another path and re-enter the Purple Mansion.

And now look at the appearance of the golden man struggling to survive, there is no such thing as a protagonist. As the creator of all this, he naturally has a passion.

Lin Lingsu didn't understand it that thoroughly, but he could also hear the excitement of the challenge, and if he had realized something, he said: "Is it the way of cultivation for a fellow Taoist to compete with the general trend of heaven and earth?"

Li Yandao: "The heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as dogs. The mere Jurchen is far from the general trend, and some small favors count."

Lin Lingsu nodded: "Even so, it is still a challenge."

Li Yandao: "It's just right, the Central Plains dynasty has the motivation when foreign aggression is strong, the Jin people feel that they are favored by the world, but they don't know that the real strong and powerful country are fearless, the strong army fights the elite, and the strong Yan fights the fate !"

Faced with such courage, Lin Lingsu saluted with admiration.

Watching the back of Wanyan Aguda leading the army to retreat, Li Yan made follow-up arrangements for the Jinren: "When the Liaodong battlefield is completely hopeless, there is only one last choice left in front of the opponent..."

"Drinking poison to quench thirst, forcibly destroy Liao!"
