Chapter 42 - Divine Bow Piercing Clouds

But Xiao Yi was still one step late, so Zhang Lin had already led a team of golden-armored cavalry to Yuhua Xiaoxie first.

When Xiao Yi rushed back, Lu Yi had already agreed to help Zhang Lin build the royal tomb.

Seeing that Xiao Yi came back, Lu Yi had something to ask for advice, but Zhang Lin had already obtained Lu Yi's consent, so he didn't stop him.

Lu Yi took Xiao Yi to the backyard. Before he could speak, Xiao Yi immediately warned him that Zhang Lin was going to transfer the treasures of the treasury. If he did something for him, he might be killed and silenced later.

Seeing Xiao Yi's face full of worry, Lu Yi was very pleased, but smiled indifferently: "Yi'er doesn't know the master's ability yet!"

Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard Lu Yi talk about what he had done before.

It turns out that many royal tombs built by the royal family in history invited Lu Ban to design mechanisms, but few murders were done to silence people. All because the Lu family had a ancestral teachings and could not reveal the secrets of the benefactor. Lu Yi even designed the tomb mechanism for the two emperors Wu and Xuan. There were countless nobles from all over the country who asked him to design treasure-hiding mechanisms, but Lu Yi survived intact.

"Master, this time it's different. Zhang Lin and Zhang Lihua colluded with each other to steal the treasury, and they might kill people to silence them."

Lu Yi smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, the master has his own trick to get out."

Xiao Yi was still waiting to hold on, but Lu Yi refused to listen. He just led Xiao Yi to the backyard shooting range, took out an exquisite iron bow for him, and asked him to try it.

Xiao Yi fell in love with the iron bow as soon as he saw it, because the shape of the bow was exactly as the modern composite bow that Xiao Yi painted. The bow was dark and shining with dark light. Most of the parts were made of the fine steel made of Lu Ban using the meteorite melted.

But this bow is too big, taller than Xiao Yi. The full bow is twenty stones, and even if the pulley set saves one-quarter of the effort, it still requires five stones. Xiao Yi tried it but did not pull it open and couldn't help but sweat.

Lu Yi smiled immediately, stepped forward and made some adjustments on the bow, and removed some elastic steel sheets. After pressing the bow, the height of the bow body can be shortened until it is only half a height of Xiao Yi, but it has become a small bow with only five stones of force. After the new winding, Xiao Yi only needs one stone to pull it full.

Xiao Yi immediately took the bow again in surprise, then bent the bow and drew the arrow, aiming at the target fifty steps away.

With a whoosh, the arrow broke through the air and immediately got on the target.

Xiao Yi shot five or six arrows one after another, and three arrows hit the bull's eye. He immediately praised the bow for being very accurate.

"This is a gift from the master. Do you like it?"

"like!"

Lu Yi explained that he tried this bow, which can reach up to five hundred steps, can hurt people within three hundred steps, can break ordinary chain mail within two hundred steps, and can penetrate plate armor within one hundred steps, and can be amazingly powerful.

Xiao Yi was immediately overjoyed, but he said with a lack of beauty: "It's better to shrink a little more! It's still very difficult for the disciple to pull the bow with his strength!"

Lu Yi smiled slightly, took the bow and tinkered it up and down again, and even dismantled it into a bunch of parts and placed it in an exquisite wooden box.

It's actually a decomposition weapon!

Only then did Xiao Yi feel that the master's move was indeed extraordinary.

Lu Yi will tell Xiao Yi about the key points of dismantling the combination, and Xiao Yi will quickly write down one by one.

With this decomposed bow, it is easy to carry, and Xiao Yi immediately thanked the master.

Then the master and apprentice named the arch together - Chuanyun.

Lu Yi seemed to have a lot to say to his apprentice, but he only sighed that time was too hasty.

Finally, Lu Yi took out an exquisite small box from his bag and gave it to Xiao Yi.

"Master knows that you will definitely practice martial arts in the future. I originally planned to leave a while for you to help you through the 100-day foundation building, but now I don't have time. I will give you a small pill for you. If you want to build foundation and practice martial arts in the future, you only need to take this pill. Your aunt Lan has a strong internal strength and she will help you complete the foundation building in one day."

The Southern Taoist School calls the stage of refining essence and qi building a hundred days of foundation building. The method is regarded by those who practice martial arts as a classic for practicing internal skills.

The way of heaven damages the excess and replenishes the deficiency. There is not much innate true qi in humans. Ordinary martial arts practitioners need to practice hard for a hundred days to build the foundation. The Xiaohuan Dan is made of a great tonic medicine that replenishes essence and strengthens qi, which can quickly fill the true qi consumed by building the foundation.

These are precious rare medicines. To refine a small pill, you need to travel all over the world to collect herbs. Often, you can make one in more than ten years, but it is extremely precious.

This is the second time Xiao Yi has seen this thing.

It was only this time that Xiao Yi realized the expensive value of this elixir. He couldn't help but be suspicious of the Divine Doctor Xue who treated his sister. However, his sister's health was intact, and Divine Doctor Xue had no intention of harming her, so Xiao Yi just thought he was a super philanthropist.

Lu Yi followed Zhang Lin, but Xiao Yi was still worried about him.

However, Xiao Yi also heard a lot from the Zhang brothers and sisters, including the news that Chen Shubao transferred two princes back to Jiankang to deal with his father.

Xiao Yi hurriedly told the news to his father, but he didn't expect his father to know it long ago. Everything was under Liu Shijing's plan, but his father was tired of being loyal and righteous, and he wouldn't take action first. If Chen Shubao attacked his father first, then his father would fight back.

Liu Shijing had all the calculations, and Xiao Yi felt that he had also been plotted into it, so he couldn't help but be wary of this person.

At this time, the guards of the General's Mansion of the Cavalry had been replaced by soldiers of the Cavalry camp. The Cavalry camp was the only elite heavy-armored cavalry unit of Dachen. It has been controlled by Xiao Maha since its establishment. People jokingly call it the Xiao family army.

The Sui army was approaching, but the Emperor of Chen was fighting against the most important military officials in the country. Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Fighting inside the nest was the fundamental reason for the demise of Southern Chen.

Xiao Yi warned his father to be careful of the Sui army in Guangling smuggling across the Yangtze River, but his father was powerless. Chen Shubao ordered Xiao Maha's troops not to move, but asked Kong Fan to lead the army to defend He Ruobi's troops in the direction of Guangling of the Yangtze River. Kong Fan would have long since joined the Sui Dynasty. If Sima Xiaonan had not checked and balanced with him, he would have let He Ruobi's troops cross the river long ago.

On the first day of the first lunar month of 589 AD, the Sui army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River took advantage of the time when Chen was celebrating the Yuanhui, and crossed the river in a separate way. Kong Fan came to cover it. He Ruobi's army left Guangling to cross the south, Han Qinhu's army left Lujiang and crossed the night from Hengjiangkou, and attacked Caishi. The Jin King Yang Guang's army went out of Liuhe to enter Taoye Mountain.

Chen Shubao was planning to join forces with his two sons who returned to Jiankang to trick Xiao Maha into the palace and then kill him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Maha refused to enter the palace on the grounds of urgent war, and ordered the cavalry camp to be on guard. Chen Shubao issued twelve imperial edicts in a row urging Xiao Maha to enter the palace but the saints were all sank to the sea.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Chen Shubao finally realized that the situation was not good. The Sui army crossed the Yangtze River and scared him. He immediately issued an edict to personally lead the Chen army to resist the enemy, but he did not dare to touch Xiao Moha. In order to appease him, he ordered the general of the guardian Fan Yi to be the commander of the army, and the commander of the Central Leader Lu Guangda and the commander. He also sent Fan Meng, the governor of Southern Yuzhou, to lead the navy to defend Baixia and resist the Sui army in the Liuhe side, and to lead his troops to guard Nanyuzhou with the attendant of the cavalry Gao Wen.

After the Sui army broke through the Yangtze River defense line, the Sui army actively promoted. On the 6th day of the lunar month, He Ruobi's army captured Jingkou and captured Huang Ke, the governor of Southern Xuzhou. More than 6,000 people were captured, and all were released with preferential treatment. Then He Ruobi entered Qu'a with a unit to prevent the three Wu Chen army from reinforcement, and led the main force to advance westward. Han Qinhu army captured Gushu on the 7th day of the lunar month, and advanced east along the river. Gao Wen's army was defeated and retreated to Jiankang.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, He Ruobi entered Baitugang south of Zhongshan, and Han Qinhu and Du Yan's army crossing the river from Nanling met in Xinlin. After Yuwen Shu's army defeated the Chen army in Baixia, they occupied Shitou City. The Sui army occupied the outer city of Jiankang and completely surrounded the capital of Chen in the Southern Dynasty. In order to cooperate with the main attack of the Sui army, Wang Shiji's troops also successfully captured Qikou by Qichun, defeated Chen general Ji Tian, ​​and approached Poyang Lake in Jiangxi. Yanrong Navy also advanced south from Shandong coast to occupy the Sanwu area.

He Ruobi and Han Qinhu were advancing from north to south, attacking Jiankang. Kong Fan's troops along the river said that it was difficult to resist the Sui army, so they retreated voluntarily, and ordered the Chen army to garrison along the way to see the wind and leave.

By the 17th, the Sui army had formed an encirclement of Jiankang.

There were more than 100,000 soldiers near Jiankang, most of which were commanded by Xiao Maha's direct generals. Xiao Maha was very confident and planned to turn the tide and repel the Sui army. Chen Shubao was worried that he would rebel, so he had to bite the bullet and lead the three armies to fight. So the central leader Lu Guangda formed a formation in Baitugang, and the Gangbei was Ren Zhong, General Tian Rui, General Fan Yi, the temporary Zhongwu General Kong Fan and Xiao Maha and other troops lined up one after another, stretching for more than twenty miles north and south, and they did not know each other from the head to the back and forth.

He Ruobi led light cavalry to climb a mountain to reconnaise the enemy's formation, and then gathered 8,000 soldiers with the seven general managers of the army, including Yang Ya, Yuan Ming, and others, to line up. Chen's general Tian Rui led his troops to attack first, and was repelled by He Ruobi's army. Chen's general Lu Guangda and other troops fought hard, and He Ruobi's army was forced to retreat four times. He Ruobi ordered the smoke screen to be fired and rectified under his cover.

Soon, He Ruobi received the messenger from Kong Fan and agreed to break through from him.

In the evening, He Ruobi led his army to attack Kong Fan's troops. He Ruobi supervised the soldiers of Li, and fought to the death. Kong Fan took the lead in escaping, and his troops were about to collapse. In this way, other divisions of the Chen army were affected by it and chaos occurred, resulting in a retreat on the entire line, trampling on each other, and more than 10,000 people were killed or injured.

He Ruobi knew that capturing the thief was the first to capture the king. Because Kong Fan hated Xiao Mohe very much, he had already informed He Ruobi of his location. He Ruobi brought people to change into Chen's military uniform, took Kong Fan's token, and learned from Kong Fan the secret of the patrol soldiers that night, so he entered Xiao Mohe's central army tent unimpeded.

This was the second time the two met, but the situation was changing. Xiao Maha was caught off guard by He Ruobi and others. He Ruobi then took Xiao Maha as a hostage and forced Xiao Maha's generals to surrender.

Originally, He Ruobi planned to avenge Xiao Maha for shooting him with an arrow, and ordered his left and right to behead him, but Xiao Maha looked calm and did not fear at all. He Ruobi suddenly remembered that Xiao Maha's son Xiao Yi prevented Lan Zhiruo from killing him that day, which was considered to save his life, so He Ruobi ordered that he be exempted from his crime and treated him with courtesy.
