Chapter 266 Wu Erlang’s crossbow arrow broke through Mangdang, Gongsun Shengtian’s thunder blasted the devil
Li Yunze, who returned to Dongping Mansion, was not in a hurry to go home and sharpen his Italian cannon.
Instead, they led the elite soldiers and horses from the two routes in the west of Beijing who were gathered together, and rushed towards Mangdang Mountain in a mighty manner.
Speaking of Mangdang Mountain, this is a famous place in history.
It is the place where Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, killed the White Snake.
The mountains here are densely forested and the paths are steep, and the mountains are connected to many roads and prefectures and counties. It is a typical place where no one wants to cause trouble.
What is even more exaggerated is that the three leaders who occupied Mangdang Mountain were so capable that many officers and soldiers who had gone to encircle and suppress them suffered a lot.
The three leaders of Mangdang Mountain are Xiang Chong, who is known as the Eight-Armed Nezha in the world.
This man is a native of Peixian County. He is good at using a dough card and twenty-four flying knives on his back. He can kill people with a hundred steps and hit every target.
The second head of the family is Li Gon, who is known as the Feitian Great Sage in the world.
Over there, Gongsun Sheng had already thrown a bunch of talismans and seals in his hand into the sky.
"Brainless." Li Yunze defined their behavior and then called the general behind him, "The crossbowmen are at your service."
Li Yunze, who looked strange, called on the generals to lead the troops to arrest the bandits and robbers, so that they could not escape and cause harm to the people's villages and towns.
Gongsun Sheng, who looked solemn, nodded, dismounted, held the mahogany sword in one hand and the talisman in the other and walked up the mountain.
Yang Zhi and others were all middle and low-level officers in the past. How had they ever seen such a big scene with over 10,000 troops?
"The magic ability of the fart." Li Yunze, who couldn't stand it, exposed it on the spot, "It's just the phosphorus powder soaked in the talisman seal."
Shi Xiu, the second idiot, asked blankly, "What should we do in terms of action? Please come over and have a drink together?"
Because the Song Army lacked horse farms, it did not have the large-scale cavalry regiments that it had during the Han and Tang Dynasties.
After spending money to get a batch from the arsenal of Bianliang City, he brought it to the modern world like Bu Renjia to find someone to draw and imitate, find a small foundry to produce parts, and then go to the Dream of Red Mansions world to arrange manual assembly and debugging.
Because he was struck by lightning and turned black into charcoal, he couldn't see anything clearly. Only the fragments of Taoist priest's robes scattered on the altar could prove his identity.
As long as it harms the people, he will never be soft. What's more, these three people occupy Mangdang Mountain, which is the place where Liu Bang changed dynasties. Even in Bianliang City, it is also in the hands of all the ministers and even the official.
Written down in a notebook in front of everyone.
When the arrows and crossbows flying in the sky fell, the hob cutters collapsed on the spot.
With dozens of generals, thousands of sergeants, and temporarily hired civilians, the so-called tens of thousands of troops traveling across the country and county really made everyone feel excited.
There is a Taoist priest on the altar, and I don’t know how to describe it.
It is normal for a novice to have trouble finding a way to shoot a gun for the first time.
Moreover, his own force value is not low, and he is good at using the meteor hammer, which comes and goes without a trace, to attack unprepared people.
This is a big gambling venue, where everyone is gambling with their lives for a one-time life-and-death game.
There were ominous-looking black clouds in the sky, and there was also a strange wind on the ground, the kind that blew sand and rocks away.
What Gongsun Sheng used was the most commonly used move when subduing demons, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Zhengfa.
Gongsun Sheng suddenly shouted angrily, "I am in a hurry like a law. Heavenly Lord will help me build the great road! The five thunders of heaven's heart will come down to the mortal world!"
But he had never seen such a large crossbow formation, let alone an army equipped with so many powerful crossbows.
The Song Dynasty may not have many cavalry, but there are a lot of heavy armored infantry, especially the heavy armored soldiers wearing infantry armor, which can be said to be protected from the forehead to the soles of the feet.
Sure enough, after a short time, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and fell directly into the densest part of the mountainside where the green lanterns were.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the strange wind on the ground gradually calmed down.
The Divine Arm Bow is called a bow, but it is actually a crossbow. It is the most powerful long-range weapon in this era. The Song Army attaches great importance to its confidentiality. It is almost impossible for inland garrisons to equip such a powerful weapon.
Of course they had fought against the imperial army and had seen the army's large array of bows and crossbows.
That broken stone can be of no use!
The Song Army attached great importance to long-range firepower, and even most of the sergeants on the battlefield were crossbowmen. The ancestor of muskets, the musket, which pioneered gunpowder firearms in later generations, was also invented by the Song Army.
When thousands of Song Army crossbowmen gathered to form a large-scale crossbow array, the Mangdang Mountain bandits on the opposite side suddenly became agitated.
When they arrived at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, Fan Rui and others, who had already heard the news, had already led their troops down the mountain, set up battle formations and were waiting.
Shi Xiu, who was next to Li Yunze, was dumbfounded and praised the immortal's ability repeatedly.
As for himself, he galloped forward and together with Gongsun Sheng came to the altar where the green lanterns were most densely packed.
To put it simply, it means summoning thunder from the sky to strike down.
Let’s not mention the bed crossbow that once killed Xiao Taolin. The black paint crossbows commonly used in the army, the Nei Ma Locust Crossbow, and even the famous Divine Arm Bow are all foot-operated crossbows with extremely strong penetrating power.
and range.
But for Li Gong Xiangchong and the hundreds of hobhands under them, this was a fatal event!
These three leaders sworn sworn brothers with different surnames on Mangdang Mountain. It is said that they gathered thousands of soldiers and horses to attack homes and plunder houses in the surrounding areas, causing harm to one party.
Li Yunze wanted to dig deeper into the Song Dynasty, and this was undoubtedly a shortcut.
If there is no second powerful Taoist priest on Mangdang Mountain, then this person must be the Demon King Fan Rui.
"Don't say that to others." Li Yunze, who had been asking for advice and studied Taoism with Gongsun Sheng, smiled and waved his hand, "If you are not an enemy, just say it is a demonic method. If you are a person, say it is Taoist orthodoxy. Facing a capable enemy,
You have to respect each other mentally."
He moved quickly with the formation of the Big Dipper under his feet, wielding the mahogany sword and using precise sword skills to pierce and shatter the burning talismans.
Looking at the hero who was still staring at death, Li Yunze shook his head repeatedly, "This is a battlefield, not a sword debate on Mount Huashan. What a fool."
Li Yunze, who was watching carefully, nodded and said, "I'm not in the wrong position, and my swordsmanship is also good. But if it doesn't work, then I'll just go around and do tricks."
If we were to take it seriously, a million troops eating, drinking, sleeping and eating would be enough to cause any new commander to have a mental breakdown.
As expected, he is one of the top three fools in history who can do nothing but draw and write!
Basically, everyone who can fight in the west and east of Beijing follows Li Yunze.
The Song Dynasty was so wealthy that if I didn't dig out a lot of money before putting on the yellow robe in the cold weather, I really couldn't bear to let it go to waste by the ignorant and treacherous ministers.
What really makes people change their minds after hearing this is the big leader of Mangdang Mountain, Fan Rui, who is known as the Demon King in the world.
If it were just like this, it wouldn't be considered a heroic figure like Jingva Tian, just a heavy armored warrior with a shield.
Being able to make tens of thousands of people move in an orderly manner without making mistakes is an unquestionable ability.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Sheng over there had already pierced all the talismans, and then held up the peach wood sword that was ignited with flames. The tip of the sword pointed directly at the black clouds in the sky.
There was a loud noise soon, and many children in Taoist costumes screamed and ran away, followed by the bandits and robbers on the mountain, who collapsed like an ant nest watered by hot water.
Li Gong, whose abdomen was pierced by a powerful crossbow, struggled and spat at Li Yunze, "You actually use flying props. You are not a hero!"
After shouting angrily, Li Gong's vitality disappeared, and he lay down and never got up again.
Both Xiang Chong and Li Gun were considered to be unique weapons in the world. They used regimental cards to protect themselves and hidden weapons such as flying knives and javelins to kill people.
The road into the mountain is narrow and cannot be used in large formations.
Li Yunze, who had not even reached the entrance level, immediately turned his head and looked at Gongsun Sheng who was standing aside: "Wang Keke, Taoist Priest, come on!"
Li Yunze, who was coming with his troops and horses, stopped his horse as he passed by a hero carrying two rows of javelins behind him, and looked at him condescendingly.
Li Yunze didn't pay too much attention. His attention was already drawn to the sky that was appearing on one side.
After several rounds of arrows, more than half of the hundreds of hobhands were lost, and the rest had turned around and fled to climb the mountain.
The Song army, which was mainly infantry, also developed its own unique tactics, that is, long-range is king.
Fortunately, they had an experienced driver as their leader. Li Yunze, who had rich experience in marching combat, arranged everything in an orderly manner so that the tens of thousands of troops could operate smoothly.
This ability really amazed and admired Yang Zhi and others.
Crossbowmen are not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality.
From this aspect, we can see that the bandits in Mangdang Mountain are different from other places. They are powerful and courageous.
The shields in their hands are at best covered with a layer of cooked cowhide, which can withstand arrows, but is not enough to face powerful crossbows. After all, they don't have enough money to build enough iron shields to equip them.
Because he knew magic, the encirclement and suppression efforts of ordinary officers and soldiers naturally lost their effect.
Gongsun Sheng felt a little sad, after all, he was a fellow traveler.
Several streaks of silver lightning flashed out from the black clouds in the sky, like silver snakes dancing wildly, and then deafening roars of thunder rolled in.
Things are different here with Li Yunze.
You can even teach others some experience when you have free time.
Li Yunze dared to touch Mangdang Mountain that others dared not touch.
At this time, in order to win and survive, of course, we will do anything we can.
It's obvious that someone is playing tricks.
"Nonsense." Li Yunze glared at Saburo Saburo, "Of course I'll chop him down! Just don't do what the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven did, and just use your skull as a wine glass."
"General." Gongsun Shengce immediately came to Li Yunze's side, pointed at Mangdang Mountain in front of him and said, "You see that there are cyan lanterns hanging everywhere on the mountain, and they are arranged according to the formation of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. The mountain must be
There are people who are proficient in sorcery."
Xiang Chong and Li Gun blocked the road into the mountain with hundreds of hobhands, clamoring for a challenge from the government and the army, eager for a duel.
Not only are we using this amount of wealth to prepare the armaments and raise the people well, but we can also use it for enjoyment to stimulate economic development, or to strengthen our chickens, but why are we using it to make some broken rocks?
He has commanded many large-scale battles involving hundreds of thousands of people. A small scene like this is nothing, there is nothing exciting about it.
Only Li Yunze was not moved at all.
On the battlefield, there is talk about good men and bad men. What else can this be but nonsense?
Li Gun was from Pi County, and he was also good at using regiment cards. He had twenty-four javelins on his back, and he could take out people at a hundred steps without missing a mark.
As for some novels, those protagonists who were never even the leader of a study group when they were in school were able to command millions of troops to attack a small village as soon as they came here. It's just fun to read them.
‘Rumble, rumble~~~’
For Li Yunze, this is just a small matter of spending a small amount of money, traveling a few extra miles, and losing a lot of protein in the constant fire in the Grand View Garden.
Fan Rui is from Puzhou. He practiced in the Quanzhen Sect in his early years and learned a lot of magical skills. It is said that he can control the wind and rain.
Under the dark clouds that filled the sky, Gongsun Sheng muttered something and waved the talisman and seal, which immediately started to burn without fire.
Just when he was thinking about helping to clean up the funeral, he was shocked to hear Li Yunze muttering on the side.
"What a waste. I wanted to learn some magic from you. You can't even withstand a lightning strike, and you dare to call yourself the Demon King? I'm a thief who deceives the world, so I'll just stay at your altar!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but tremble, and immediately gave up the idea of helping his colleagues clean up the mess.
