No shortage of walls

Cui Zheng's messenger came back and relayed the emperor's words.

As courtiers, Cui Zheng and Liu Jingyun could only obey.

Liu Jingyun was obviously very angry. He said:"The day of seizing the pass is when the general will eat Song Ru's heart and liver alive. But what does His Majesty the Emperor mean by saying these two knives and what treasures there are? Are there treasures here and there?"

The messenger said:"General Lu said, Once this sword comes out, it will be invincible in the world. There are only two swords in the world. It was made by Huada."

Cui Zhengdao:"I don't know about Huada? He is a fool. His majesty taught him how to make it." After saying that, he took out the sword. A long sword, I saw that this sword was just longer and had nothing special, so I thought about it. He shouted:"Bring out your sword."

The soldier next to him took out his sword. Cui Zheng swung his sword and slashed with it. With a soft sound, the other party's sword broke, and everyone was surprised. Cui Zheng slashed with his sword, cutting off seventeen knives in a row, but there was not a single chip in the long sword in his hand.

Highly civilized iron smelting, is that what this civilization can understand? The productivity of this dynasty was low, and iron was made without distinction between raw and cooked. Even bronze swords, relatively speaking, every sword in a highly civilized society was a treasure.

Cui Zheng was surprised and said:"It turns out to be a precious sword? No wonder Commander Lu said that once this sword comes out, it will be invincible in the world." He then gave the sword to Liu Jingyun, took out another one, and cut seven more swords. He said:"Your Majesty gave you this sword, but we can't take Qingzhou Pass. How dare we accept this sword?"

Liu Jingyun hurriedly returned the sword to him. He said:"I don't dare to accept it."

Cui Zheng said seriously:"Why did the general say this? This precious sword is still used to cut down thieves. Did the Holy One ask us to cut down the door?"

Liu Jingyun suddenly became energetic:"This precious sword will definitely be able to kill thieves." Cut the door to pieces."

The messenger said:"The emperor said wait."

Liu Jingyun said:"That doesn't mean cutting the door to pieces, so what does the treasure mean?"

Cui Zheng understood this. Black pieces were found where the workshop was originally built. The emperor actually made a piece of stone into a pencil. It is said that it is now sold on the black market for one tael of silver each. He said:"Anyway, the Liao thieves dare not attack. We will send people to search outside tomorrow and send them to the emperor."

The next day, the sergeants went to the barren mountains to find some strange stones, unknown plants, flowers and plants, as well as some that could not be bitten. The rotten green cane was sent to the capital by a dozen sergeants.

Liao people guarding the pass in Qingzhou. Exposing one's penis and peeing on Song Jun in broad daylight is still an insult. The Song army was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but there was nothing he could do. During this period, many rural people came to borrow food, saying that Liao thieves, led by Song Ru, were killing people and robbing food. This year, the new emperor is exempted from taxes. No matter how poor the people are, what little they have left is robbed by Song Rugou thieves, killing people and destroying crops. This year, His Majesty the Orthodox Emperor's method of opening up wasteland and exempting people from taxes, the people have planted a lot, and Song Rugou thieves have lured Liao. Many of the dogs were broken and trampled by men and horses. The soldiers were filled with indignation, but they did nothing.

Cui Zhengdao:"The military rations are still the property of the court. I dare not borrow them. I can only give some to the fellow villagers from the sergeants' mouths."

The more this happened, the angrier the sergeants became, but there was nothing they could do! Firstly, the emperor said wait, and secondly, there is really no way to attack by force. The world's absolute barrier is not a legend.

Twenty days later, the sergeant who sent the miscellaneous items came back and gave Liu Jingyun and Cui Zheng a piece of green cane. Said:"The emperor said! This is still a treasure! After the pass is captured, the soldiers will cut off the old ones and use them as seeds to plant in the open space."

Although Cui Zheng was forty years old, his teeth were intact. Hearing this, he took the bite After taking a sip, I couldn't move. He said,"I've been back and forth for more than a month, but I still can't bite. What kind of treasure is this?"

Liu Jingyun's subordinates include locals. Said:"We call this thing sugar cane, also called green cane. It is as sweet as honey, but as hard as stone. People who can't live will not eat it. What kind of treasure can it be?"

Cui Zhengdao:"The emperor's chosen one! There must be someone. Use it to convey the order! No one can touch the green cane in the barren mountains! - What else does the emperor have?"

The messenger took out a letter. He said:"The emperor said that after the pass is captured, it will be opened again. The person who captured the pass will arrive in a few days."

Ji Zheng and Liu Jingyun had no choice but to say nothing and followed the newspapers, which published the heroic words of destroying the Liao Dynasty.

Cui Zheng and others waited until the third day of September. Huada arrived with fifty people, accompanied by twenty large crossbows, a cart of small crossbows, and a black man eight feet tall.

Huada first taught everyone how to use a small crossbow. The arrow was only seven inches long. He placed it on the slot. He pulled up the rope that had a medicinal smell and didn’t know what it was made of. He pointed it at the enemy and clicked it lightly. The arrow was shot out, and within five feet, the small arrow sank into the body; and the arrow was loose, and the wooden handle could only be pulled out, but the arrowhead remained in the human body. There were nearly three hundred small crossbows with countless small arrows, while Huada only had five Eleven people, the rest must teach Ji Zheng and Liu Jingyun's subordinates.

After teaching for a while, everyone became familiar with it, and then taught everyone how to use a big crossbow. The big crossbow is nearly one foot long and more than ten feet wide, like a semicircle. The wooden arrows with thick arms have no arrowheads. The wooden arrows that are more than ten feet long have sharpened front ends and are stuck in the grooves. He said:"Everyone, look at it, there is a triangle on it. As long as you look from here, the tip is there, and the arrow is there." Just shoot there, let's go out and try."

He pushed them outside the door, nearly thirty feet away. It happened that someone in the city peed down there.

After Huada loaded the arrow, the four of them pulled up the string, lay on their backs, facing the person opposite, and gently pulled the trigger. The wooden arrow with a thick arm shot out quickly. The man probably didn't expect that it could be shot from such a distance. He only heard a scream and was pierced by the wooden arrow.

Cui Zheng is overjoyed! He said:"Okay!"

Huada said:"Huada only brought two long arrows. I would like to ask the general to send soldiers to cut down the trees and make them exactly the same. At least a hundred of them."

Liu Jingyun said:"Okay! My general. Let's see who dares to come forward to pee?" Then he ordered the soldiers to do the same.

It was not easy for tens of thousands of soldiers to make a hundred arrows, but four to five hundred arrows were made at once. The soldiers knew that this arrow was powerful and hurriedly worked on it. More than ten thousand arrows were quickly completed. Pile into a hill.

Huada pulled up twenty large crossbows and asked everyone to practice. He only fired once and everyone understood.

Huada said:"What the emperor means is to ask the general to help find a dozen large ropes. Huada has wall-climbing hooks here. He said that he pulled out a dozen iron hooks from the car. He said:"We quietly walked from the side. Throw up the wall-climbing hook and climb up quietly. The general is preparing a ladder in front to attack the city. You must make a deadly attack. If the enemy pays attention to you, he will not have time to pay attention to us. If he shows up, shoot him with a big crossbow and take back Qingzhou together. Guan, General, please give us the long sword."

Cui Zheng and Liu Jingyun urgently ordered their troops to find long ropes, prepare the ladders and put them in front of the pass early. After having a full meal that night, they pushed the crossbow to the nearest place beyond the enemy's bow and arrow range, and shouted"kill Zhentian". , shouting wildly that all the Liao emperors will be executed; they are willing to fight to the death to seize the pass and will never stop until they die.

The Liao soldiers knew that the opponent was attacking the pass and hurriedly recruited troops to defend it. Liu Jingyun had the highest military position and ordered ten people to guard each large crossbow. Hold it, wind it up, and shoot as long as you aim at the enemy. Killing seven people in a row, the Liao army was frightened. No one dared to take the lead at such a distance, with such a big arrow, and with such accuracy.
