Iron Armored Emperor

Ao Ge repeatedly asked to go to war, and Gu Lie finally gave the military order, ordering him and Lu Yibing to split into two groups and send troops to Yongzhou.

Most of Yongzhou was captured by the Feng Clan, and later Beiyan took advantage of the Feng Clan's escape to the west and took it back, and it was restored to the sphere of influence of the Yan Clan of the Liu Family.

Not long ago, Yang Ping transferred the Xie family's soldiers and horses to the Yan family. The strength of the Yan family has greatly increased on paper, but it is still a matter of whether they have just taken over. The key is that the Yan family has already surrendered to Da Chu secretly.

Ao Ge bypassed Xizhou, attacked Yongzhou from the southwest side, and fought tacitly with the Yan family, attacking the city like chopping melons and vegetables, and went down four or five cities in a row, scaring the Northern Yan court.

And Lu Yi was even more hungry. He directly attacked the southeast of Yongzhou from Qinzhou, and the first battle he fought made Beiyan frightened.

Lu Yi's first battle was fought in Pingchuan City at the junction of Yongzhou and Qinzhou.

Pingchuan City, as its name suggests, is located in Yima Pingchuan, which logically gives Chu and Gu cavalry a great advantage.

It is a city controlled by the collateral branch of the Liu family. The Liu family now claims to be relatives of the emperor, leaving behind the past of colluding with Da Chu, and is an upright and loyal family.Since he is a loyal minister, it is naturally impossible to release water on Chu Gu. On the contrary, the Liu family is eager to please Yang Ping.

The barbarian Jingchu can subdue the Feng Clan, but it is absolutely impossible to capture Dayan.

So on the day of the battle, Lu Yi led the army to come, and the defenders of Pingchuan City were also pressed outside the city.

The generals of the Pingchuan City garrison triumphantly took out their trump cards - the barbed caltrops arranged in front of the formation early in the morning, and the mobile archers formed in formation.

Caltrops is a tetrahedron, which is four long iron thorns extending from one point. If it is thrown on the road at will, there will always be one long thorn facing upwards. It has a stable structure, simple manufacture, and can pierce horseshoes. It is good for dealing with cavalry. thing.

As long as the Chu Gu cavalry wanted to attack the city today, they had to pass through this large area of ​​barbed wire, and as long as they stepped over the barbed wire, all the forward horses would be useless.

Formation of archers can be said to be one of the best solutions to restrain cavalry. As long as long-range weapons have enough firepower, they can indeed perfectly suppress the enemy's upward attack.

These two arrangements can be said to have pinpointed the weakness of Chu Gu's cavalry.

But Lu Yi smiled slyly, and just took out the new gadget to play with.

There are many high-quality iron mines in Xizhou. Before Xizhou was captured, the people in the arsenal talked to the lord every day. Try smelting.

Lu Yi was determined to make great contributions in the next battle for hegemony, so naturally he would not miss this opportunity. Originally, he was not only a cavalry soldier in Shuzhou, so he prepared a lot of good things in the arsenal before going out.

One of them is a heavy arrow with a hollow triangular arrow.

Hollow-out triangular arrows are relatively rare arrows, because bows and arrows are long-range weapons, and everyone seeks to make the arrow hard and light without losing its accuracy. There is no reason to add weight to the arrow.

But Lu Yi wanted heavy arrows, not for direct shooting, but for projectiles.

Direct shooting, as the name suggests, is ordinary archery, shooting directly at the target, which is usually done by archers in battle.Therefore, archers should pay special attention to their positions when forming an formation, so as not to shoot their own people in the back row.

And throwing refers to the arrangement of archers like infantry. All archers aim at the sky at the same angle and shoot arrows. Thousands of arrows are fired together. The arrow rain flies to the sky at a high speed. They will all fall in the same area. Under the blessing of gravity, the armored helmets and shields are unable to defend. Either they are shot through the head, or penetrate most of the body, and carry out a devastating blow to the enemy soldiers in that area.

Therefore, within the feasible range of the arrow used for throwing, the longer the arrow body and the heavier the arrow, the greater the lethality.

This kind of hollowed-out triangular arrow is specially made according to Lu Yi's idea. It is a sharp triangular prism, with a long and sharp top to ensure that it can penetrate the target smoothly. Weight, the entire arrow is improved to a hollow shape, and the iron triangle edge composed of simple lines is an absolute killer.

The left governor next to Lu Yi raised his command flag, and archers rushed out from the cavalry formation neatly. They held longbows and hung quiver on the side, forming a square formation.

No need to say much, no need to fight drums, listen to the order, take the arrows neatly and draw the bow, thousands of arrows are fired, the sound of piercing the air is shocking, the heavy arrows pierced the air in unison, and before the defenders react, they have already swished down. In front of Pingchuan City, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling. If they were shot directly through the head, they could still die happily, but if they were shot through half of the body and nailed to the same place, they would have no choice but to die!

After a round of heavy arrows, another round.

The tragic situation of their own people scared the defenders out of their wits, and the defenders all abandoned the battle and fled. How could they care about their soldiers? In front of the gate of Pingchuan, you pushed each other and trampled on each other. So is Purgatory.

After three rounds of heavy arrows, Lu Yi sent infantry Shi Shiran to clean up the caltrops. First, he sorted out three roads that were enough for the cavalry to pass. The generals and soldiers were wiped out, leaving no one behind.

After this battle, Lu Yi's fierce reputation spread throughout Yongzhou.

Ao Ge and Lu Yi had already gone out to fight, and Di Qiye's hands were itchy, but Gu Lie thought that it would be safer to wait for the cold spring to pass before dispatching troops in half a month.

It is not to say how risky it is to send troops now. In the previous life, Di Qiye defeated Zhongzhou after three battles in Qingzhou, and then he was ordered to go all the way north to join forces with Ao Ge in Qinzhou, and then turned around and defeated Yizhou. In the final battle of Leizhou, most of the cities were still defeated by Di Qiye. It was shot down by the wild.

In this life, he avoided the Fengzu's massacre of the three cities of Shu. Di Qiye didn't listen to the order and went to fight Zhongzhou, forcing Lu Yi to speed up his attack. previous life.

You know, in the previous life at this time, the Chu army was still fighting on two fronts, attacking the Feng Clan and Qinzhou all the way.But now, both of these are already in Chu Gu's pocket.

The more critical it is, the less aggressive and greedy you are.

Gu Lie believes that it is still possible to slow down, one is Tianhan injured soldiers, and the other is to stabilize the mentality.

So Yan Fagu was also anxious to beat Beiyan, but Gu Lie still said the same thing, telling him to wait.

As for those who cannot be stabilized, they should be dispatched first.Ao Ge Lu Yi belongs to this category.

Di Qiye wasn't very happy that he couldn't go out to fight, but he had other interests recently, so he wasn't so bored.

Mu Lian was even more unhappy, because Jiang Yan was sent out by the lord, and he didn't know where he was sent, and he didn't know what he was going to do. But what's the point of that? In short, he didn't know where Jiang Yan was, and he just wasn't happy.

Mu Lian found Di Qiye, eagerly looking forward to it: "Master, when the lord finally sends you out to fight, you must hurry up and take down Beiyan."

Di Qiye raised his eyebrows: "Are you in a hurry to make meritorious service?"

Mu Lian told the master truthfully: "I am anxious to catch the spy."

Di Qiye suddenly felt a kind of heartache that Gu Lie felt every day.

Too lazy to talk to this little lunatic, Di Qiye went to the handsome tent.

It happened that the master of the arsenal came to present the treasure.

The arsenal got high-quality iron ore, and they were enthusiastic about their work. They knew that the lord was a general and loved sharp weapons, so after working overtime to complete the military supplies of General Lu Yi, they specially forged a fine weapon for the lord with new iron.

"My lord," the arsenal master lifted the red cloth, and saw a red-black dagger on the red sandalwood plate, "this is a new sharp weapon made in the arsenal—the heart-breaking dagger."

Di Qiye was originally standing aside, but when he heard the words, he approached for a closer look.

The dagger looks like a sword, short and easy to hide, so it is mostly used for self-defense and assassination, and the sharpness is the most important.

This heart-breaking dagger has a scabbard made of tanned black wolf fur, and the leather scabbard has been ground with grass and wood patterns, which is very low-key.

The whole dagger is forged in one piece, showing a reddish black color that is almost dry blood. The handle is tightly wrapped with black rope to prevent slipping hands. Both sides of the blade are sharpened, and there are several deep grooves on the surface. The central hollow measures Chu Gu Fengzhang, which is the mark of the king of Chu, and plays the same role as the blood-inducing groove in actual combat, accelerating the blood loss of the wound.

Di Qiye pulled the dagger out of its sheath, but with such a small movement, it seemed that the slight sound of sharp blades piercing through the air could be heard, this dagger was indeed not ordinary.

Di Qiye caressed the blade, wanting to feel the blade.

"Molten it."

Master Wu Ku subconsciously raised his head in surprise. Although the lord's words were not happy or angry, but for some reason it made people feel chilled. Master Wu Ku didn't know where the dagger that General Di loved so much aroused the lord's taboo, so he immediately turned pale and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Not to mention that the arsenal master was surprised, Di Qiye was also surprised. He also looked at Gu Lie when he heard the words. Losing the oppressive force, the blood flowing from the blood stain instantly stained his fingers red.

Di Qiye was still asking: "Why did you melt it? This is a rare magic weapon."

Gu Lie's heartbeat has stalled ever since he saw the dagger. Although he tried his best to maintain his composure, when he saw Di Qiye's red fingers, he felt a buzzing in his head. His hand was tightly grasping the throne under his robe. Holding the handrail, breathing evenly and calmly, after a while, he calmed down, just in time to hear Di Qiye say: "My lord, you don't want such a sharp blade, why don't you give it to a lowly position?"

"Bring it up," Gu Lie hissed slightly.

Di Qiye looked at Gu Lie hesitantly. He always felt that Gu Lie was in a bad mood, but he couldn't figure out the reason. It was just a dagger. How could Gu Lie be in such a bad mood?

But Di Qiye still handed over the Heartbroken Dagger.

Gu Lie smelled the slight fragrance of night breath on the Heartbroken Dagger, looked up at Di Qiye, and asked, "Want?"

Di Qiye nodded.

"Oh," Gu Lie put the heartbroken dagger into his arms, "I won't give it."

Di Qiye couldn't laugh or cry.

"Let's all go back."

Gu Lie pressed his forehead.

"The king is tired."

Gu Lie stared at the heartbroken dagger on the table for a long time.

Keep it?

keep it.

……do not forget.

That day, the man had arsenic falling down his throat, raised his glass and laughed, and killed his heart, staining the royal robe with blood.

It made him heartbroken, and he dared not forget each other for a day.

Di Qiye.
