"I'm here, please feel at ease, General Yuan."

Liu Yizhen still felt sorry for Yuan Huzhi.

Yuan Huzhi knew the decision-making of the Liu Song Central Committee.

Liu Yizhen didn't know how many times Yuan Huzhi had doubted him 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, Yuan Guzhi, who had tears in his eyes, could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and in an instant, they filled his entire face like a fountain.

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

This sentence made Liu Yizhen feel a sore nose.

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

"His Majesty."

Yuan Huzhi's mood went away as quickly as it came. After feeling sad for a while, he said to Liu Yizhen: "Your Majesty should not have come in person!"

"Although Yangping Pass is a famous pass that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, our army is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. It will be difficult to block Helianbobo's all-out attack. If..."

Yuan Huzhi is very clear about the danger of staying here.

He was very touched that Liu Yi could come.

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

Yuan Hu was afraid of committing suicide!

The emperor's personal arrival was naturally a very powerful medicine for the defenders in the pass, but not for a general like Yuan Huzhi who was always paying attention to the overall situation.

The emperor personally took control of the dangerous place. This kind of pressure was simply unbearable for Yuan Huzhi. He was afraid that even if he came to the battlefield, he would have to leave some thoughts behind to protect the emperor's safety.

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

"Don't talk about that now."

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

Then, Xie Hui informed Yuan Huzhi of the renegotiated "strategy to trap the dragon".

After Yuan Guzhi learned about the plan, he just sat there blankly and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

This plan is a bit too bold!

He was so bold that Yuan Huzhi suspected whether this was something Liu Yizhen and Xie Hui made up to deceive him...

However, since Liu Yizhen appeared here in person, it was the biggest evidence to expose the lie, so even if Yuan Huzhi didn't believe it anymore, he could only believe it now.

"I believe General Yuan understands now."

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

"And now that I have met with 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 trance.

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 also exposed himself to Helian Bobo to delay the war in the north.

"The Emperor Liu is bold and ambitious."

After hearing the entire plan, Yuan Huzhi also understood that Liu Yizhen could not retreat.

This wall cannot be retreated either!

"As long as your Majesty gives orders, I will fight to the death!"

"Don't be so exaggerated."

The momentum 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."

As he said that, Liu Yizhen looked at Yuan Huzhi with a strange expression.

"I went to see the wall this morning. Helianbobo's weapon for attacking the city was mainly a catapult?"

"Exactly."

Yuan Huzhi didn't notice the abnormality in Liu Yizhen's expression, but instead felt bitter.

"Yangping Pass is on the edge of the Hanzhong Basin, and the terrain is relatively low. We still have a geographical advantage when Helian Bo's catapult attacks, and it is really difficult to resist."

"The reason why two of the three previous walls were broken was because the wall could not withstand the cannonballs, and part of it collapsed, allowing the enemy to rush in. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to break through!"

"..."

Seeing that Yuan Huzhi had been complaining about Helianbobo's catapult, Liu Yizhen immediately asked: "If I can destroy Helianbobo's catapult, do you think General Yuan can hold the wall?"

"able!"

"Of course!"

Yuan Huzhi said confidently: "If there were no catapults, our army would still be guarding the first barrier!"

"good!"

Liu Yizhen also made a promise on the spot.

"When Helian Bobo comes to push the catapult next time, I guarantee that he will never come back!"

Yuan Huzhi's eyes widened: "Is that really so?"

"Of course!"

"We and the Han army can be defeated by the Hu tribe outside the wall because of their few horses. But if they are not as good as the opponent in attacking and defending the city because of their equipment, it will be a big loss!"

Regardless of whether it was the Five Husties who devastated China or the later Jingkang Disgrace, when the Manchu and Qing Dynasties entered the Pass, the Han people's technology was able to steadily defeat and even defeat these barbaric foreign races.

Seeing Yuan Huzhi now facing the catapult with a desperate look on his face, Liu Yizhen felt that his face was dishonored.

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

After that, Liu Yizhen looked around and focused on Xue Andu.

"You, come with me."

In everyone's puzzled eyes, Liu Yizhen led Xue Andu and the soldiers transporting crossbows into a small dark room. The sound of stirring chains and Xue Andu's screams from time to time made the soldiers outside My scalp was numb, and I didn't know what horrific tragedy happened inside.

It wasn't until midnight that Fan Daoji knocked on the door of the small dark room with food, and the things inside were exposed to a crowd of curious eyes outside the door.

"Crossbow?"

Liu Yizhen, who took off his battle armor and only wore a short shirt, responded while adjusting the trigger in his hand: "It's a crossbow, but I like to call it a bed crossbow!"

The bed crossbow was the ultimate killer weapon before cannons were invented!

The bed crossbow originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and is recorded in many historical materials.

For example, the "Chen Qiu Zhuan" in the Later Han Dynasty records that Chen Qiu's army had a large crossbow that "has a large string as a bow and a feathered spear as an arrow. It can be fired at a distance of more than a thousand steps, killing many people."

A bed crossbow that can shoot a thousand steps away!

The damage caused by this terrifying kinetic energy is actually no weaker than that of ordinary firearms. However, because it is inconvenient to carry, it can often only be used with tanks, so Fan Daoji called it a "car crossbow" when he saw it. .

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

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

Moreover, Liu Yizhen's purpose now is to guard this barrier and not to hunt down Helian Bobo with a bed crossbow. Whether he can walk or not is not something Liu Yizhen has to consider.

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

Be fierce!

It has to be so fierce that Helian Bobo will be scared when he sees the city wall!

It must be so fierce that the barbarians in the world no longer dare to attack Han cities with just a few catapults!

This is in line with Liu Yizhen’s expectations for Bed Nu!
