Chapter 530 If the Thai people want to fight, then fight
The dense arrows were like locusts covering the sky, instantly filling the entire field of vision and covering the mountains in the distance.
"puff"
A dull sound sounded, and the ground seemed to tremble.
There is no trace of the hill in the distance, leaving only a flat stone platform and large and small stones in the distance.
Ping Qi looked at the platform and gravel in confusion. A cold air rose from his back and enveloped his whole body in an instant.
This is the crossbow!
A powerful crossbow that can destroy everything!
The power is so damn strong!
Ping Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at Li Lu next to him. Li Lu happened to also look over, and both of them saw the fear in the other's eyes.
"It's even more powerful than before."
Li Lu lowered his voice and said.
Ping Qi frowned and said nothing. Such a powerful crossbow leveled a hill in an instant. No wonder the Taixi people dared to rely on it and put forward some harsh demands, as if they were a victorious nation.
Li Lu sighed and glanced at the capital not far behind him, hoping that His Majesty and the officials could see the power of this powerful crossbow.
The Imperial Guards nearby were all stunned. What was this? It was so powerful. One by one, they were all stunned when they saw the disappearing mountains.
Grace was very satisfied with the effect of this powerful crossbow and asked Li Lu arrogantly:
"General Li also fought at Jiameng Pass and saw the power of this powerful crossbow. How did you feel this time?"
Li Lu had already recovered from the shock. After hearing this, he touched his numb face and spoke calmly:
"But so, I thought I could flatten the entire mountain, but I didn't expect that only half of it was destroyed. Last time you Taixi used the crossbow, General Galberg was captured by us, and its power has not increased.
How many."
The understatement fell on the ears of the Forbidden Army behind them. The Forbidden Army who did not know the truth felt ashamed of their embarrassing behavior just now. General Li had already faced such a powerful crossbow, and he was still alive and winning.
In a big battle, although this crossbow is powerful, there are still ways to deal with it.
Grace's face turned red and she was a little annoyed. Damn it. You said it in an understatement. It seems that our crossbows have not improved. The crossbows in the last battle were more than ten times larger than this one.
"General Li..."
"alright"
Li Lu waved his hand to stop Grace and asked Joseph in the distance: "Sir Joseph, your crossbow has been released. We have seen it too. Please put away the crossbow. We are going back to Beijing."
Grace was a little annoyed and wanted to get angry, but she didn't know how to get angry. It was as if she had punched cotton and couldn't use any force.
Joseph came over in a hurry, stopped Grace and said:
"General Li, wait a moment. We still need to recover the crossbow arrows. This powerful crossbow can be used again."
Li Lu raised his eyebrows: "Is this what you call, the second strong crossbow?"
Grace finally regained some sense of the situation and said proudly: "Of course, this is our second crossbow."
The capital city.
Su Lu looked at the mountains disappearing in the distance and was silent.
Last time at Jiameng Pass, the power of the crossbow was not concentrated enough. This time, the power was all shrouded in the mountains, and the mountains were wiped out in an instant. Such a powerful crossbow was almost invincible in destroying cities and formations.
Li Qing's pretty face was a little pale, and her eyebrows were furrowed under the bright yellow gauze crown. She couldn't help clenching her hands, and her eyes fell on Su Lu who was in deep thought. Faced with such a powerful crossbow, if Su Lu had nothing to do, what would Han really do?
They can only be slaughtered by others.
All the officials were also quiet, and the six ministers all frowned, like Su Lu, looking at the disappearing hills in the distance.
Li Weiyuan was the first to say: "Your Majesty, the Taixi people have strong weapons, and our Han country is unable to deal with them."
"We might as well agree to all the conditions proposed by the Thai-Spanish mission this time."
Zhou Yuan snorted coldly: "Da Zong's truth is so simple. You agree to it. The Thai and Western people want compensation, trade, and give most favored nation treatment to the Thai and Western merchants. These are all cutting off the flesh of our Han country."
Zhou Ping also spoke: "It's not his flesh that was cut off by Da Zongzheng, so of course it won't hurt him. As long as it doesn't hurt the clan, Da Zongzheng will never have any objections."
Li Weiyuan pointed at the two of them angrily: "You..."
Pang De said: "Your Majesty, the Taixi people have such powerful crossbows. Whether it is to break the city or break the formation in the field, our army cannot be used at all. Although Da Zongzheng's words are unpleasant, it can be regarded as a temporary way to deal with the Taixi people.
"
Yang Biao also said: "Your Majesty, if the Taixi people really want to start a war with me, they only need dozens of such powerful crossbows to hit the capital of Han Dynasty. It is better to comply with the wishes of the Taixi people to avoid a war."
"
Qian Qianyi looked at Su Lu's back and said nothing. However, he felt clear in his heart. Zhou Ping and Zhou Yuan were the ministers who accompanied the prince to receive the envoy from Taixi. They both refuted Da Zongzheng, which meant that the prince must be against it.
If you're trying to compromise, it's better not to say anything.
Yu Wei, who had been looking at the mountains in the distance, finally lowered his head and murmured in a low voice: "It can't be done, it can't be done."
Yu Wenze, the commander-in-chief of the Western Beijing Camp, said: "I agree with Master Pangde's suggestion to bow to the Taixi people for the time being and try not to start a war with them."
Yu Wenze spoke, and the generals of the other three battalions also spoke one after another, agreeing with Pang De's words, and their tone was full of disapproval of the war.
"Okay, don't say anything anymore. I will make my own decision on this matter."
Li Qing scolded her, her tone full of uncertainty. She didn't know if Su Lu could do anything, but the ministers wanted to surrender blindly, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
"You are all good ministers and servants of our Han Kingdom."
Su Lu said coldly, his tone full of contempt, turned around and looked at Li Weiyuan, Pang De, Yu Wenze and the ministers.
"Why, a powerful crossbow scared you. Then if I say that the Taixi people's powerful crossbows have been in the capital in the past two days, and the crossbow arrows have been placed, and if one of them is mishandled, most of the capital can be destroyed. How about you?
How to do?"
"Are you going to flee the capital overnight and never dare to return to the capital again?"
"Your Majesty wants you to handle state affairs, not to clamor for surrender, compromise, or compromise."
"If blind concessions can make the Han Kingdom and the Thai and Westerners on equal footing, then what else does Your Majesty want you to do? Just pick up a few people in the army, and they can do better than you."
All the ministers blushed, but they did not dare to speak in the face of the angry Su Lu.
Su Lu looked at Da Zongzheng, his face full of ridicule:
"Dazongzheng, I used to think that you were loyal to the country, and I didn't take the offenses against you seriously. Now it seems that you, Li Weiyuan, are just doing it for your own wealth and glory, and for your position as the royal family.
."
"you……"
Li Weiyuan pointed at Su Lu with trembling fingers, unable to say a complete sentence.
Su Lu flicked his robe sleeves and walked towards the city. His voice echoed throughout the city.
"Zhou Yuan, Zhou Ping, you two are presiding over this peace negotiation. The principle I stated is that you will not give in even one step."
"If the Taixi people want to fight, we will fight. If I can defeat him once, I can defeat him a second time."
