"Huh?"

Under the stage of the Chinese military commander, Li Li did not pay attention to Xian Yufu at first, and his eyes always stayed on Badun, until Xian Yufu sneaked up on Badun, and Xian Yufu's figure entered Li Li's sight. When Xian Yufu unexpectedly swung his spear and stabbed, Li Li was very surprised, he didn't expect Xian Yufu to be so bold, and he dared to wait for an opportunity to sneak attack Badun when he knew that he was invincible.

As Xian Yufu missed the sneak attack, he slipped to the side of the war horse, and even hid under the belly of the horse, he actually slashed Xian Yufu's mount with a knife from under the belly of the war horse. In an instant, Li Li's eyes suddenly widened, his expression changed sharply, and he watched the whole process of killing Xian Yufu intently.

But the moment he saw that he slipped off the horse's back, he stood on tiptoe on one foot, and the war knife in his hand rubbed the ground and passed it out from under the horse's belly. Immediately afterwards, he was seen hiding under the belly of the war horse, wielding a knife with one hand to cut off the hind hooves of Xian Yu's mount under the crotch. After the blow was successful, he slid under the belly of the war horse, turned over from the other side and sat on the horse's back, and then waved his hand to cut off the neck of Xian Yufu, who was thrown out by the war horse. The whole process seems slow, but in fact it takes no more than ten seconds to complete it in one go. Maybe there is no concept of minutes and seconds in this era, and the relatively short time can only be judged by hourglasses or incense, but Li Li knows it well and secretly calculates the time in his heart.

What is a Lightning Deal? The process of killing Xian Yufu is a second kill, and Xian Yufu will be in a different place between the knife in his hand, and the corpse will be on the spot.

Li Li was not surprised by his lightning-fast skills. After all, Xian Yufu is a second-rate military general at best, not even a first-class general, and his martial arts are really not strong.

Tong guò for a short time to watch the game. Li Li also had a very clear understanding of Bunton's martial prowess, but what really surprised him was that Bunton's mount actually used bilateral horses. And this bilateral pedal was deliberately hidden by Tadon before the war. deceived the eyes of Li Li and the generals under his command, and it was not revealed until he was fighting at this moment.

In fact, bilateral pedaling is not new to Li Li. Six years ago, when he was the Taishou of Wuwei, in order to deal with the two-sided attacks of Han Sui, Ma Teng and the Qiang people in the Western Regions, he began to use bilateral horseshoe and nail horseshoes to the war horses. So as to enhance the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under his command. However, the use of bilateral pedals was short-lived, only a few months after that. After Li Li pacified the four counties of the Western Regions and severely damaged the Han and Ma coalition forces, he no longer used bilateral horseshoes, and only the nail horseshoe continued to be used.

In the years that followed, only when the barbarian tribes were on expedition. Li Li will give the cavalry to be equipped with bilateral horses. Strengthened combat effectiveness, bilateral horses have never been used in internal combat. The barbarian tribes conquered by the Western Liang Army had already been subdued and incorporated into the Han people, and their tribes and ethnic groups had long ceased to exist. As a result, there has never been a bilateral horseback in the battles of the princes over the years.

And this is also the result of Li Li's deliberate blockade of the news, purely selfish. In his opinion, bilateral horse pedals can certainly enhance the combat effectiveness of cavalry. However, it has invisibly greatly increased the number of deaths on the battlefield, adding unnecessary casualties and killings. Therefore, he has always pursued the practice of doing everything in foreign warfare. However, the internal campaign was reserved, and unnecessary casualties were avoided as much as possible.

Maybe Li Li is too pedantic, or he is too soft-hearted, but everyone has their own insistence and their own principles of being a person. Otherwise, once the bottom line is lost, people will become crazy, unscrupulous, fearless, and reckless, and eventually the whole person will completely collapse, and then go to ruin.

In this expedition to Youzhou, Li Li's war cavalry was also equipped with bilateral horses, but they were light and not visible, and could only be seen on the battlefield, and the rest of the time was kept in the baggage camp. However, to date, there are very few such skilled horsemen as Bunton, who is skilled in using bilateral horses and can use them to circle around the mount, among the soldiers under Li Li's command, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare. It is not difficult to see from this that the use of bilateral pedals is not a day or two, and only long-term use can practice such exquisite riding skills.

But where did Ratton's double-sided pedal come from, or how did he learn about it? The princes of the Central Plains didn't know the secret, why did the barbarian leaders know it first? Who sued him, or did Xiliang have a conspiracy inside? Could it be?????? Traitors?

Li Li was quite annoyed by this, and in a moment thought of many things that he had never thought of, and made him decide that some things must be done in advance to avoid endless disasters.

????????????????????????

Xian Yufu died, and was cut off by Badun in front of the Chinese army's formation, and he didn't know how Badun came out of the knife when he was dying, and he really didn't look at it.

Witnessing Xian Yufu's tragic death under the sword, Li Li's eyes were as cold as ice, and the war knife in his hand turned abruptly, and the cold blade shook in the sand.

"My lord, please order this thief to be killed!" Perhaps sensing Li Li's murderous intent, Li Zhi, who was standing on the side, immediately asked.

If Li Zhi hadn't taken the initiative to invite Ying to fight, Li Li might have personally gone into battle to kill Bunton. But after hearing Li Zhi's voice, Li Li's expression changed slightly, and he calmed down instantly, and his gloomy cheeks quickly calmed down.

After a moment of silence, Li Li said in a deep voice: "That's it, just wait." The frontal decisive battle is not better than the battle before the battle, and the mobilization of troops and horses must take a holistic view of the overall situation, and cannot be moved lightly without orders. Otherwise, any mistake in any link may affect the success or failure of the entire battle, and this is the reason why the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an anthill. Now our 10,000-strong guard cavalry is the mainstay of the army, and if we don't move, we will give the barbarian army a blow at every turn. After speaking, Li Li looked up at the handsome platform above his head, and his eyes happened to meet Zhuge Liang unexpectedly. In an instant, Li Li nodded solemnly to Zhuge Liang, signaling him not to panic, to deal calmly, and the whole army listened to his orders.

Li Zhi nodded when he heard this, and then did not speak, the expression on his face was the same as Li Li's talent, his eyes stared coldly at the galloping in front of the formation, and the cold light in his eyes flickered, it seemed that as long as Li Li agreed, he immediately stepped forward to take off the head of the neck. This is definitely not hubris. But Li Zhi does have this strength.

If it is a head-to-head battle, Li Zhi may not be the top peak powerhouse in the world. However, if it is a sneak attack. There are only a handful of people in the world who can stop him, absolutely no more than five. Among the limited five people, there are at least three seats in the Xiliang army, Huan Fei, Zhao Yun and Li Li; It is not yet known who will occupy the remaining two places. In other words, only people who are very familiar with Li Zhi and have their own martial arts can prevent Li Zhi's sneak attack and assassination; Otherwise. No matter how powerful the opponent is, it is the same in front of him, and after a defeat, it is the time when the head hits the ground.

Just as Li Zhi was thoughtful and Li Li was waiting patiently. Zhuge Liang on the handsome platform waved the order flag again. Suddenly, the 10,000 infantry troops directly below the Shuaitai retreated to both sides in an orderly manner under the command of their respective generals, making way for the middle passage. And Badun, who was fighting in front of the Chinese army, led the Wuhuan army to take the opportunity to rush over. attempted to take Li Li's Chinese army commander banner in one fell swoop; If you can capture and kill Li Li, the commander of the Han army. Then everything will be fine, once and for all.

"Cluck-cluck!"

Suddenly, the sound of the horse of the Wuhuan Iron Rider was mixed with the "creaking" sound of the rear of the Han army. However, except for Li Li, Li Zhi and others who were standing under the platform, they could clearly hear these two sounds, and the tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalrymen behind them could not hear this sharp and piercing "crunch" sound at all, let alone what this special sound represented.

"The crossbow is ready, ten rounds of fire?????? Quack! ”

As the flag bearers shouted, the last column of Jin Qiwei in front of the rear army rode their horses to get out of the way. Thus revealing the rows of crossbows behind him. There were as many as ten rows of crossbows in front of the Wuhuan Iron Horse, and the first row was two hundred crossbows. One hundred and fifty in the second row, one hundred and twenty in the third row, and one hundred in the fourth row?????? The last row of thirty crossbows, a total of six hundred.

(Crossbow: A crossbow is placed on a chariot to fire arrows; As soon as his teeth were fired, all the arrows rose together, and seven hundred paces, and all the fortresses in the city were destroyed, and the towers were also upside down. It is called a crossbow. In addition, the crossbow is as large as a rafter, which means that the crossbow can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows used are large, like the rafters used to build houses. There are different opinions on how to do it, and there is no way to study it, so this article sets the crossbow as a single-shot crossbow arrow. Thus, if you replace the crossbow arrows with specially lengthened feather arrows, and put several or a dozen feather arrows together, you can fire multiple arrows at once. ）

The strange "creaking" sound just now was the sound of thousands of infantry troops working together to pull and place crossbow arrows. Prior to this, they had been blocked by the Jinyi Guard's cavalry and were in the center of the army, so they would not be discovered by the barbarian army at all, and even the cavalry on both wings did not know that there were still so many offensive weapons hidden in the rear of the Chinese army -- giant crossbows. And this is Zhuge Liang's masterpiece.

In order to raise and make these crossbows, Zhuge Liang ordered all the cities under the jurisdiction of Youzhou to collect crossbows, whether they were good or damaged and abandoned, and all of them were sent to Youbeiping County. and more than 200 crossbows carried by the Xiliang Army on this trip were also handed over to Zhuge Liang. Then, Zhuge Liang mobilized more than 20,000 infantry troops for half a month, and the general workshop for creating arrows was even more busy for more than 20 days, creating special extended feather arrows and crossbow arrows day and night. Until the day before the decisive battle, a total of 600 crossbows of good and bad quality had been repaired, and 5,000 special feathered arrows several feet long had been created, as well as 500 giant crossbow arrows.

Because of this, there were 30,000 infantry troops in this decisive battle, and 10,000 of them were the crossbow soldiers that Zhuge Liang had trained for half a month, and they controlled the 600 crossbows that looked very shoddy in front of them.

I have to say that this is the completely different way of using troops between Zhuge Liang and Li Li. He himself is not good at rushing into battle, which prompts him to shift his energy to weapons, and invisibly combines the maximum use of weapons with the way of using troops, thus forming a unique mode of unified army conquest. This method of warfare was highly respected by later generations of soldiers, and the emphasis on weapons became more and more intense, which can be said to be out of control, so that it eventually evolved into weapons completely replacing brave martial arts, becoming the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Later generations honored Zhuge Liang as "Zhuge Wuhou", or "Zhisheng". This is not only Zhuge Liang's marquis title, but also the honorific title of Zhuge Liang by military generals and civil officials, each with its own title and opinion.

The generals called him "Wuhou", not only because he used his soldiers like a god and was invincible in all battles, but also because of his ingenuity in the development and use of weapons, which can be described as the first and far-reaching influence. The reason why civilian officials call him "Zhisheng" is because he is the most successful commander of the three armed forces in history who is purely in charge of the army as a literati, and can be called the pioneer of the civilian army, and is regarded as a model for all generations. Before him, the scribes were mostly staff members or guests, and at most they served as military advisors or zaifu, and there was no precedent for the three armies. However, after Zhuge Liang took charge of the army, he repeatedly performed miraculous feats and achieved brilliant achievements, which created the beautiful story of the scribe in charge of the army, which was highly respected by later generations of literati and ink writers, and they vied to follow suit.

The literati army was carried forward in the later Song and Ming dynasties, and it was Zhuge Liang who was often on their lips, and it has continued to this day. It is not difficult to see from this that the brightest and most dazzling star of the Three Kingdoms is Zhuge Liang. At this time, the battle of Lulongsai was the first show of "Zhuge Wuhou". If he wins this battle, it is estimated that Li Li will be embarrassed to hang the name of "Wuhou" anymore, and he should "return the things to their original owners"! (From ancient times to the present, there are countless generals who have been awarded the title of Marquis of Wuhou, but there is only one Wuhou who has really been recognized by most of the people for centuries, and he is Zhuge Kongming.) ）
