It has to be said that Lu Bu is stronger now. Not only has the Qinglong True Qi improved, but the Three Corpses Demonic Qi has also risen to the level of the Three Corpses True Demonic Qi. When the demonic energy of the three corpses increased, the most significant change was that of Lu Bu's three corpses. Red Rabbit became more spiritual, transforming the life characteristics of this sweat-blooded BMW from the inside out. The three corpses of the Heavenly Halberd had stronger computing power. Simple formation of troops is no longer difficult for He Xi. Now she can even reproduce the eight-door gold-locking formation to a certain extent. However, the biggest harvest is undoubtedly the Three Corpses Diao Chan. The Three Corpses Diao Chan originally took the auxiliary route, which can be a soft auxiliary or a hard auxiliary:
As a soft auxiliary word, inherited from the super-god world Qilin's Transcendent Vision, this time after the three corpses' demonic energy was improved, energy control options appeared again. This also means that if Lu Bu is willing, he can use Zhenqi to calculate wind speed, calculate air humidity and density, and even create pure Qi arrow feathers.
As a hard supplement, whether it is black cavitation, red cavitation, bloodthirsty, or pink cavitation, they are all powerful controls. It must be mentioned that Sanzhi Diaochan is also proficient in all Yin and Five Elements divine thunders, especially Kuishui divine thunder!
...
In addition to the heart and lungs, Lu Bu's liver, spleen, and kidneys are all occupied by the yin attribute Qinglong Qi. Wu Su hopes that after this battle is over, Lu Bu can learn Confucian methods. Although he does not expect to read a Confucian sage, Confucian mental methods can indeed have a purifying effect on Lu Buy's yin attribute Qinglong Qi!
In fact, this is indeed a good choice. This is because Lu Bu's yin-attribute Qinglong Qi has already occupied his liver, spleen and kidneys, but the yang-attributed Qinglong Qi is only in his gallbladder so far, and is far from taking over the entire six internal organs. Lu Bu does need a way to slow down the spread of Yin attribute True Dragon Qi, but let Lu Bu study, and read those sage books... Well, compared to reading, being possessed by a demon is not an unacceptable thing.
Da Chu finally realized the poisonous fruit he had planted, because he was too laissez-faire in the early days of Xu Xiao, and thus lost a large area of territory prematurely. When Ye Baikui was pinned to the Western Barrier, it meant that Da Chu had to use the national power of one country to fight against several Spring and Autumn Kingdoms. The great Chu of the Central Plains, who was once the richest in the world, finally realized what it was like to be at the end of the world. What's more, because all the young people in the country were engaged in the battlefield, there were big problems with farming, labor, and taxation.
However, the most fundamental reason is not that Da Chu himself can no longer hold on, but that the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, which has been cultivating for three years, no longer wants to continue playing with Ye Baikui. A letter of challenge was sent yesterday. Entered the west rampart. Today is Da Chu’s final reply time.
In three years, in addition to restoring the number of Northern Liang cavalry and rebuilding the Manjia camp, Lu Bu also specially prepared a force of ten thousand archers for Ye Baikui. Ye Baikui obviously had no say in whether to fight or not. Only the emperor of Dachu could really decide whether to start a decisive battle with Beiliang. At this moment, time has passed the deadline given by the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, but the defenders of the West Barrier have not given a reply. Lu Bu would not wait long. With an order, the battle to destroy the country began.
In the past, Beiliang looked down upon the 120,000 Euphorbia soldiers. Now, Beiliang has specially built several heavy infantry groups. Um, it smells so good...
Because Ye Baikui was unable to defend the city, Lu Bu could have pulled the five thousand heavy infantry with shields a hundred steps below the west wall. I don't know if it was to disgust Ye Baikui. The five thousand heavy infantry with shields Behind him are five thousand Euphorbia soldiers, and they still have the same style of Xi Chu.
Lu Bu's 10,000 crossbowmen were in the third formation, which happened to be the maximum lethal range of the heavy crossbows of the defenders of the Western Barrier. In addition to the ten thousand crossbowmen, there are also one hundred nine-ox crossbows arranged here.
Siege? Sorry, we won't do this today. Today is the day for Lu Bu and Beiliang to test the crossbow phalanx.
Lu Bu himself hated sieges, especially when his own force was limited by this world. Therefore, Lu Bu proposed the arrow array. He was only responsible for giving ideas, He Xi was responsible for designing the structure, and the Liyang Military Department was responsible for turning this design into reality. A hundred steps for conventional crossbows is the optimal range, and two hundred steps will not cause much damage. The powerful crossbow proposed by Lu Bu was prepared from the beginning for conquering cities and territories, especially the imperial city fortress. Three hundred steps is the basic range. Between three hundred and four hundred steps, considerable damage can still be guaranteed.
If Lu Bu followed Lu Bu's naming standards, he would probably just call this kind of crossbow a foot crossbow. Fortunately, Xu Xiao prevented this from happening. Since it was designed and used by Beiliang Iron Cavalry for the first time, it should be a Liangnu.
Liangnu, also known as waist-opening crossbow, has a power of 7 to 10 stones.
The operation method is to sit flat on the ground when stretching the string, use the strength of the arms, feet and waist to stretch the bow at the same time, pull the hook rope on the waist with both hands, push forward with the soles of the two feet, fall back with the split body, and use all the force together.
In order to ensure a stable shooting speed, two people work in groups, one person in front is responsible for shooting the bow, and the other person behind is responsible for nocking the arrow. After firing the bow ten times, the people in front and behind change positions.
In three years, Beiliang has accumulated a lot of anger:
"put!"
"put!"
"put!"
...
Don't attack the city, just shoot arrows. In the next day and night, West Barrier could only enjoy this baptism of arrows. The Battle of the Western Barrier would become the battle that made Lu Bu famous. If I have to describe it in one sentence, wherever I go, I must shoot an arrow first. Since the other party is unwilling to come out to fight with you, then force the other party to come out to fight in the field. Lu Bu is not good at sieges, and he is definitely the best in the world in field battles.
Ye Baikui felt the greatest malice, that is, he had realized what Beiliang Iron Cavalry was doing. During the day it was just a baptism of iron arrows, and at night it was raining down fire. Even if the best fire-fighting preparations are started now, even if all wooden structures are demolished in the West Barrier now, tonight will definitely be Ye Baikui's most unforgettable night.
The torch was lit and the kerosene was in place, but the Divine Phoenix City still had not decided whether to start a decisive battle with the Beiliang Iron Cavalry. No matter it is day or night, it makes no difference to the West Barrier archers and heavy crossbowmen, that is, they only have one chance to shoot an arrow. Lu Bu's title of unparalleled cavalry and archer was not earned for nothing. He once suppressed an imperial city by himself. This man is so disgusting and perverted. If you go out to fight in the field, you can't win. If you don't go out to defend the city, you will be shot to death.
Dressed in white, it may have taken Lu Bu the longest time to open his bow this time, because he was calculating the wind speed, density and moisture of the air. Not only that, Lu Bu was also compressing his Arrow Qinglong Qi as much as possible: "Go!"
The first arrow of the night was fired by Lu Bu himself, and this arrow also opened the prelude to the fire and rain over the city. It was still the same arrow that shot into the sun, falling high into the inner city of the Western Barrier. In fact, Lu Bu's perversion was more than that, because an insider brought Da Chu to the location of the grain depot in the Western Barrier. Lu Bu's arrow directly cut off all Ye Baikui's escape routes. After one arrow passed, flames shot up into the sky. The flames were stained with Lu Bu's yin attribute Qinglong Qi, and were extremely resistant to water.
"Okay!!!" Xu Xiao has been waiting for this day. If Ye Baikui's brain is not burned out by tonight's fire rain, even if the will of Divine Phoenix City has not yet arrived, he must start the battle with Beiliang tomorrow. The decisive battle between them. Otherwise, today's Western Barrier defenders would be yesterday's 120,000 Euphorbia warriors. With only four or five days of food and grass left, Ye Baikui had no choice.
After seeing the huge flames in the inner city of the West Barrier, this also meant that Lu Bu had completely bid farewell to the fourth-rank light chariot captain, and now he is a fourth-rank superior light chariot captain. The reason why he was able to create such brilliant results with one arrow was inseparable from the lives of hundreds of spies under Xu Xiao, who then discovered the location of the food and grass for the Great Chu Western Barrier. But the more important reason lies in Lu Bu. The range of this arrow has reached an incredible three thousand steps.
I am afraid that even Ye Baikui would never have thought of such a thing happening from the beginning. After all, before this kind of thing happened, any individual would have thought it was ridiculous.
