Chapter 535 Explosive Arrow

It has been futile to attack Puyang for several days in a row. No matter how it is called a battle, the opponent is just guarding the city, and the city has been specially reinforced. Therefore, when they learned that Lu Bu had led an army of 100,000 across the Yellow River, the people of the Northern Alliance became a little nervous, and they retreated more than 30 li and returned to their camp.

Although the Northern Alliance claimed to have an army of 800,000, that number was actually a bit exaggerated. In fact, there were hundreds of thousands of them, and it was impossible for the grooms and civilians recruited forcibly to participate in the battle.

Moreover, the major princes in the alliance also have their own ghosts, and they are much looser than the original crusade against Dong League. Although the leader of the alliance was captured by Cao Cao, only more than 100,000 people in his headquarters really listened to him. It's just men and horses. Others defend him like they guard against thieves. As long as it is not good for them, they will never listen to him.

That's why it appeared. I heard that Lu Bu led an army of 100,000 across the Yellow River, and immediately retreated. They were really afraid that if Lu Bu's cavalry charged, the alliance would fall apart. If it really fell apart, they would definitely be broken by Lu Bu one by one. , the current Lu Bu is different from the past, and it is not easy to deal with thieves and thieves.

Originally, according to their speculation, after receiving the news from the north and the south, Lu Bu's reaction should be to withdraw the garrison in Puyang City and choose to patrol and deploy defenses at various crossings of the Yellow River. Their main force should go south to assess Jingzhou's problems. yes. But this thief Lu Bu just didn't play his cards according to common sense. He left Jingzhou alone but insisted on running over to save the Xuzhou army's base north of the Yellow River...

"This thief Lu Bu is really getting more and more arrogant. He wants to block Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang's coalition forces by leaving Gao Shun alone?" Cao Cao said rather annoyed.

"Now that Lu Bu is in a great situation, he really has the qualifications to be arrogant. Let's think about how to deal with that guy first. Maybe this time it's not just a matter of protecting Puyang!" Liu Bei was also extremely afraid of Lu Bu.

"Maybe we and other ministries can divide our troops to go south several times, and let Lu Bu take care of one thing and lose another!" Guo Jia made a suggestion!

"It's really good to divide the troops, but who can resist Lu?" Dividing the troops to the south will inevitably require some troops to stay and entangle Lu Bu's army.

"...My men and horses can stay to fight against Lu, but you have to lend me some armored soldiers, horses, money and food and other supplies!" When everyone was hesitating, Liu Bei stepped forward directly, and he was going to get the benefits first. Said that if you can't beat Lu Bu, just hang around him for a while, and then the soldiers, horses, money and food of those subordinates will of course be your own, and then you might as well go outside the pass to develop...

"Xuande is really righteous. We will support you with 5,000 cavalry and 50,000 stones of grain and grass..." Ma Teng and Liu Bei had a pretty good relationship, so he was the first to make an outrageous offer.

"My troops sent out five thousand armored soldiers and thirty thousand stones of food and grass!" Yuan Shang also expressed his position. He had inherited Yuan Shao's position in name, so his strength was quite strong.

"My troops dispatched six thousand armored soldiers and forty thousand stones of food and grass..." Yuan Tan, as Yuan Shao's eldest son, was robbed of his inheritance rights by his brothers. Know your wealth.

Then every prince in the alliance sent some soldiers or money and food more or less because of face, even Cao Cao was no exception. Among them, Gongsun Kang from Liaodong gave the most soldiers, but he didn't have any money or food at all, because he himself Still short of food.

Everyone is not an idiot, of course they can see that Liu Bei is a little cautious, he is unlikely to fight against Lu Bu, but as long as he entangles Lu Bu for a period of time, then the major princes can take their subordinates south to Xuzhou and Yuzhou, It's pretty rich there now!

As a result, Liu Bei froze together, and in just half a day he gathered more than 100,000 troops. Although most of these soldiers were some miscellaneous soldiers cleared out by the various princes, as long as they found a place to stay In this land, well-trained is still a group of elite soldiers.

Lv Bu's bravery cannot be defeated by one person. This is the consensus of everyone. At that time, Liu Guanzhang at Hulao Pass fought Lv Bu to a tie. The six members of Le Jin and Le Jin will fight against Lu Bu together, and they barely win. Later, Lu Bu became more and more brave, so this time Liu Bei planned to plan it long ago. He just went to harass Lu Bu's camp and ran away immediately. You can hide far away with a team of people and develop with peace of mind.

That day, the emperor once again returned to the leader of Cao Cao. This time Liu Bei did not take the initiative to fight for it, but Liu Xie completely accepted his fate and became a puppet with peace of mind. He no longer had any other thoughts. Being a puppet is better than being in It is much better to starve to death in the midst of hunger and cold...

...

As night fell and there were still more than 30 li away from Puyang, Li Yunfei did not rush there because according to the report from the spies, the coalition forces had already withdrawn from their camp, and there were some abnormalities in the camp of the coalition forces, and they are now stepping up detection , so Li Yunfei decided to set up camp first, and make a decision after clarifying the matter.

"Everyone, be careful when unloading. Handle with care. The things inside can't be hit too hard!" Thirty-six directed dozens of people to unload some very long boxes from the carriage.

The box is not heavy, only 35 kilograms, but it is 1.6 meters long. The thing inside is a very powerful firearm, called the Explosive Arrow, which Li Yunfei only made in the past three months. The secret weapon is quite powerful, and it can be re-fired with a bed crossbow. Of course, because the arrow is much heavier, the maximum range is not more than 1,000 meters, but it is still possible to shoot more than 500 meters.

In fact, the current bed crossbow is not only installed on the top of the city, but also can be used in field battles after being slightly improved by Li Yunfei. It can be disassembled into parts and carried by six cavalry. When used, it can be quickly assembled into a bed within a minute. Crossbow, now with this bursting arrow, this bed of crossbowmen directly becomes a heavy artillery unit.

Since the last assassination incident, Li Yunfei began to prepare a new secret weapon. Although their own crossbows are powerful, as long as the opponent gets some thick and large wooden shields, they can block the attack of the crossbows. Even if it is a bed crossbow installed at the top of the city, as long as the enemy prepares early and gets some thick shields installed on the cart, it can still block the arrows fired by the bed crossbow.

But with this bursting arrow, it is completely different. The arrow is made of cast iron, with a diameter of 4 cm, an internal space of about 3 cm in diameter, and a length of about 20 cm. It can hold 200 grams of gunpowder. After the arrow hits something, as long as the impact force exceeds It will explode to a certain extent, and its power is almost equal to that of an offensive grenade. It can explode hundreds of fragments. After the explosion, people and animals within three or four meters will not be killed or seriously injured. No wooden shield or car shield can stop the burst arrow. Blast to smithereens with one arrow...

"General, you're so careful, but the precious glassware is here?" Xiao Qiaoshu asked curiously as he watched the soldiers unloading the goods carefully in the distance.

"Of course not. Why do you bring glass when you come to war? It's a very powerful secret weapon."

"So we have another secret weapon!"

"Of course, if you don't have some secret weapons, you will really have some troubles dealing with the alliance army that has been prepared for a long time. I heard that they went south this time, and almost every soldier was equipped with a thick wooden shield. Let us The power of the crossbowmen is greatly reduced!"

"Oh, I see, there must be very special rockets inside!" Xiao Qiao guessed at once that the fire attack was used to deal with the wooden shield formation.

"Well, you're pretty smart, but you're only half right, guess again!" This little Joe is really smart, if he doesn't have gunpowder, he can only use rockets to deal with it, of course the effect will be much worse.

"Thank you general for your compliment...Since this is related to fire, if the general's guess is correct, how did the pyrotechnic powder make the arrow?" Xiao Qiao analyzed it carefully, recalling the time when the distress signal was sent. When the fireworks are set off.

Li Yunfei was a little surprised that the little girl guessed it right. It seems that this little Qiao is also a beautiful woman with both beauty and wisdom. How come the beauties around him, except for Xiaobu, the cute girl, are there? They all seem to be very smart, and even suspect that the trainer is just Dazhi Ruoyu pretending to be stupid.

"General, did the last general guess right?" Seeing that Li Yunfei hadn't spoken for a long time, he asked again.

"You guessed right, Xiao Qiao is really smart, but it sounds weird to call yourself a general at the end of your sentence, why don't you change your name?"

"Well, General Wanfu, I'm so polite here." Xiao Qiao made a charming Wanfu salute, wearing a military uniform, she had an indescribable charm.

"...The beauty is like jade, the country is charming... Xiao Qiao, why are you so beautiful!" Li Yunfei helped Xiao Qiao up, and praised him greatly. Now that Xiao Qiao is by his side, of course he praised fiercely, Girls love sweet talk.

The effect was really good. After being greatly praised by Li Yunfei, she was extremely excited, her face was like a peach blossom, adding a bit of beauty, her pink and tender face could squeeze out water, and even her body couldn't help getting closer In Li Yunfei's arms.

"It's really tiring after a day's driving, let's rest first!" As he said that, he directly picked up the man and entered the new army tent... Of course, he just hugged him and rested.

Now we are camping in the wild, and it is still the eve of the war. Attacks may happen at any time, so don't mess around. If you are tired, it will be a big trouble when the enemy comes to sneak attack. But sleeping with a tender beauty in my arms is still quite comfortable, a little excited, and I am too energetic to fall asleep, so I chatted about the past and the future...
