Liu Lingjing's upper body was bare, and her bronze skin was covered with dense beads of sweat. He held up a three-hundred-jin stone lock with one hand and kept swinging it up and down. After raising it twenty times with one hand, Liu Ling
The stone lock was placed on his left hand and he also raised it twenty times.
Throwing the stone lock on the ground, Liu Ling shook his body, and beads of sweat fell from his body like rain. He had an excellent figure, with two thick chest muscles and six-pack abs with sharp edges. His shoulders were wide and his hips were narrow, and he had a tiger's back.
He had a long waist and long hair rolled back casually. He strode to the weapons rack, picked up an iron gun and weighed it in his hand.
The ancients mostly relied on strength to win in martial arts competitions. The dodge and move skills of real martial arts masters cannot be done on horseback. If you hold a heavy sword weighing three to five kilograms and perform a set of small and flexible swordsmanship on horseback,
I'm afraid that as soon as they met, the opponent's general would knock him off his horse with a broad-backed sword weighing more than 100 kilograms.
Therefore, a battle in battle is different from a duel between martial arts masters. The cavalry from both sides charge, no matter how superb your skills are, you will be trampled to pieces. In the same way, in the legend, those who immediately have the courage to fight are unworthy of all men.
If a famous general is dismounted and given a thin-edged dagger, he may not be able to defeat those direct disciples of famous sects.
Therefore, horse warfare weapons must be heavy and long enough.
As the saying goes, a weapon that is an inch longer is stronger, and an inch shorter is more dangerous. For close combat, small and exquisite skills, paired with a short sword and a short sword, will do twice the result with half the effort. As for horse fighting, it is more practical to use a long spear or a broad sword. Guan Erye's Qinglong Yanyue Sword
, Zhang Sanye’s Zhangba Snake Spear is a masterpiece of horse warfare weapons.
Liu Ling loves long guns. Firstly, because guns are the most popular weapons in this era, most coaches and soldiers use guns and sticks. Secondly, his idol Changshan Zhao Zilong's big gun has fascinated many women.
.The ultimate dream of a man is to have a long spear in his hand and be invincible in the battlefield. With a long spear on his hip, not a single leaf will touch him among thousands of flowers! If you can practice both these spears to perfection, it can be regarded as a small perfection in life.
.
Liu Ling danced the iron spear with great force. His marksmanship was different from that of Zhao Er. Zhao Er's marksmanship was exquisite, and his moves were as continuous as a river. The Zhao family's marksmanship was impervious to wind and rain all the way. But his marksmanship was unstoppable.
The shooting method is simple and clear. It just grasps the key points of stabbing, lifting, sweeping and smashing, supplemented by the word "quick"!
Didn't Huoyun Evil God say that all martial arts in the world are invincible, but speed is the only thing that can't be defeated!
Liu Ling held the gun in one hand and turned around violently. With the help of inertia, he thrust out the iron gun in his hand. This shot was not fancy, it was extremely simple. The gun moved in a straight line, like a straightened black dragon.
, there was a bang as it hit a wooden stake! The wooden stake was as thick as the waist, but the iron spear moved very quickly, and it actually penetrated the wooden stake!
Liu Ling was quite satisfied with the strength of this shot. He tried hard with his hands and swung it to the left and right. With a click, the heavy wooden stake was split in half by him!
Liu Ling withdrew the iron gun, moved back, grabbed the gun head just below the head with one hand, twisted his body, held the gun body with both hands, and smashed the iron gun in his hand from top to bottom like a stick! This time
The force was so strong that the stick slammed into the bluestone floor amidst the whistling wind! There was a crisp sound, and the heavy bluestone floor was broken into several pieces by the blow.
At this time, the housekeeper Lao Wu led a soldier wearing the uniform of the Gyeonggi Camp and walked over quickly.
"Your Majesty, a member of General Dewey's staff at the Gyeonggi Camp said he has something urgent to ask for."
Old Wu bent down and saluted and said.
Liu Ling stopped the gun and threw the big gun to one side. The gun was inserted back into the weapon rack with a swish. As he walked, he picked up the towel hanging next to wipe his sweat and asked: "Is this the Gyeonggi Camp?"
Did something happen? It seems that Dewey is taking turns guarding the city gate today. Could it be that something happened to the city gate?"
The soldier glanced at Old Wu, and Liu Ling smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter!"
The soldier knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Your Majesty, something bad happened. On the next Tuesday, a hundred thousand troops invaded the border three days ago!"
Liu Ling was suffocated, and he walked over quickly and asked, "When did you get the news? Is it accurate?"
The soldier said: "Not long ago, Du Yuhou, a member of the Fuyuan Army, rushed back from the southern border without sleep to report the news. General Du has already brought the Du Yuhou of the Fuyuan Army into the palace to meet the saint. Du
The general asked me to inform the prince immediately, but I don’t dare to delay!”
Liu Ling threw the towel to Lao Wu and said: "I know, you go back first, I will enter the palace right now!"
Liu Ling quickly returned to the bedroom and changed into court clothes. Zhao Er and Hua Sanlang were already waiting outside. The three of them, with more than a dozen guards on horseback, galloped all the way to the palace. Only halfway through, a man in front of them appeared.
The horse was running towards me very quickly, and not far away, the man on the other side asked: "But His Royal Highness Prince Zhong?"
Liu Ling restrained the red lion. Seeing that the man was wearing the uniform of a palace guard, he understood in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "I already know, let's go into the palace now!"
The Ouchi guard was relieved after hearing this. He peeked at Liu Ling and saw that Prince Zhong had a solemn look on his face, but he was not panicked at all. Thinking of Grand Scholar Su Xiu's reaction, the guard couldn't help but secretly admire Prince Zhong's determination.
He turned his horse and followed Liu Ling's guard, running all the way towards the palace.
When I arrived at the gate of the imperial city, I was about to dismount when I saw a chamberlain rushing out of the imperial city on horseback. As soon as the chamberlain went out, he saw Liu Ling arriving. He grabbed the reins and turned over, jumped down, hurriedly took a few steps and knelt down in front of Liu Ling and said
: "This servant comes to see Prince Zhong, and His Majesty declares that you will enter the palace as soon as possible!"
Liu Ling threw the reins to a guard, said "I understand" and strode in.
It was not yet time for the morning court, but there were already adults outside the imperial city who had come early and were resting in their sedan chairs with their eyes closed. They were waiting for the imperial city to open, and those who were sleepy-eyed had already seen Liu Ling hurriedly entering.
Miyagi. Two adults who came early gathered together, pointed at the palace gate and discussed, "What happened?"
Another person said: "It seems something serious has happened. Did you see it? The chamberlain rode out of the city. If it wasn't an urgent matter, how could the chamberlain dare to ride in the forbidden city?"
Liu Ling went straight to the Chengxian Hall. At this time, Su Xiu, the minister on duty at the Military Aircraft Department, Dewei, the city gate guard, and Yu Hou, the capital of the Fuyuan Army, who risked his life all the way to report the news, were already in the hall. This was all a surprise.
His legs were already numb, so two guards helped him walk all the way.
When Liu Ling arrived at the Chengxian Hall, he heard Emperor Xiao urgently ask: "What did you say?"
Even Yu Hou couldn't kneel, so he threw himself on the ground and saluted and said: "The prince of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Chao, fell off his horse and died after being trampled by a horse in the martial arts field. Emperor Guo Wei of the Zhou Dynasty suffered from a serious illness due to his grief, and he died the next day.
He died. Before his death, Guo Wei passed the throne to his adopted son Guo Rong. Three days ago, Guo Rong had ascended the throne with the support of hundreds of civil and military officials in the Later Zhou Dynasty and was called Zhou Shizong. Zhou Shizong Guo Rong used the excuse of raising the horse that trampled Guo Chao.
The horse's groom is a spy of our big man, and on the day he ascended the throne, he ordered 200,000 charioteers to conquer it himself!"
Emperor Xiao slapped the dragon case and cursed: "What an unfounded excuse! What an ambitious Guo Rong! His adopted father and brother have just died and have not yet been enshrined, yet he doesn't care about it, but sends troops to attack my big man!"
He pointed at Nadu Yuhou and asked: "Any other news, please go on!"
Nadu Yuhou licked his chapped lips, weakly supported his body with both hands and said: "Guo Rong used Sun Xuandao as his commander, hussar general Chai Xin as his vanguard, and ordered 200,000 troops to march straight in. When the general came back,
, the Fuyuan army was outnumbered, and Tanzhou had been lost. Yuzhou was besieged by Sun Xuandao's 80,000 troops. Finally, the general broke through the siege and rushed back to report the news, but I don't know if Yuzhou can still hold on."
He rested for a while and said: "Your Majesty, there are less than five thousand Fuyuan troops guarding the city of Yuzhou. General Du Yi led the army and civilians to resist desperately. When the last general rushed out, the south gate of Yuzhou was about to be breached! I beg your Majesty to come soon.
Send troops to rescue!”
Emperor Xiao's face was gloomy and his hands clenched tightly into fists!
Now that the political situation has just become more stable, the annual tribute from Daliao in the north has not been collected enough. Civil and military officials are secretly saying whatever they want, and people are panicking. But at this critical moment, the Zhou Dynasty invades the border again! This country has already
It is riddled with holes, the treasury is empty, and the number of soldiers is insufficient. How can we fight against the 200,000 troops of the following week?
When Liu Ling rushed to the door of Chengxian Hall, he happened to hear Nadu Yuhou speaking. He stood at the door and listened, and his heart tightened. The Fuyuan army in the six southern states combined was less than 70,000, and most of them were gathered in
Xiaozhou, Yingzhou, and the other four state capitals each have only about 5,000 garrison troops. In addition, the city walls are in disrepair. How can they stop the 100,000-strong and well-equipped army with strong morale on the next two days?
In addition, since he was imprisoned in the Tianlao, the generals of the Fuyuan Army were disobedient to each other and engaged in intrigues. The morale of unity before was long gone. The army of the Later Zhou Dynasty attacked Tanzhou with overwhelming force and besieged Yu.
Prefecture, the Fuyuan Army was not aware of it before! This shows how slack the Fuyuan Army has become!
More than two years! Liu Ling couldn't help but sigh. In just over two years, the Fuyuan Army he had worked so hard to build had already become like this! The Fuyuan Army's seven battalions and 70,000 soldiers were originally established by him.
The Han Dynasty's southern barrier rose up, but now it is just a weak army groaning under the iron cavalry of the Later Zhou Dynasty!
If Tanzhou is lost, Yuzhou will definitely not be able to defend it, but this is not too bad. As long as Xiaozhou and Yingzhou are not lost, Liu Ling will have the confidence to drive the army of the Later Zhou Dynasty back to the border!
Thinking of this, Liu Ling stepped into Chengxian Hall.
"Your Majesty, Liu Ling, come to see your Majesty!"
"Lao Jiu, you are finally here!"
When Emperor Xiao saw Liu Ling arriving, the huge stone pressing on his chest finally loosened a little. In excitement, he left his seat and walked quickly down the steps, grabbing Liu Ling's arm.
"Lao Jiu, the following week raised 200,000 troops. Now Tanzhou has been defeated, and Yuzhou is also in danger. Do you have any good ideas?"
Emperor Xiao lost his usual composure at this time and asked eagerly. He took Liu Ling's hand and said: "I am not as good as you in military affairs. In this battle, I rely entirely on you."
Liu Ling still knelt down and kowtowed according to the rules, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Ling understands."
The situation was urgent at this time. Liu Ling knew that there were only a handful of generals in the Northern Han Dynasty who were good at fighting. If he didn't take responsibility, I'm afraid no one would be able to break this disaster. This was not the time to be polite, and he would not shirk the blame.
, but turned around and asked Nadu Yuhou: "What is your name, and under whose account do you take orders?"
Na Yuhou was only around twenty years old, and his face was covered in dust that had originally been quite handsome. When he heard that Prince Zhong Liu Ling had arrived, he looked over with a pair of eager eyes. At this time, he heard Liu Ling ask
He was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He knelt on the ground and said: "The last general is Du Yu, the recruit general under Du Yi, the sixth battalion of the Fuyuan Army. I pay my respects to the general Wang Ye!"
