Section 215: The Turks March (5)

The crossbow arrow was facing Liu Shan, but at that moment, King Xia did not see any change in expression on Liu Shan's face. However, seeing King Xia's actions, soldiers around Liu Shan pulled out the swords at their waists. For a moment, Liu Shan was in tension.

"Put down the arm crossbow, otherwise I will chop you up!" The soldiers around him roared at King Xia. The blades of more than a dozen steel knives were facing King Xia. The sword hands held the steel knives in their hands tightly and maintained their bodies in the best offensive posture. However, because the arm crossbow in King Xia's hand was facing Liu Shan, no one acted rashly, but they kept shouting at King Xia.

"Let your people put their swords down, and your army withdraws from Hebei and releases all the captured Hebei soldiers, otherwise, the armor just now will be your role model." Facing more than a dozen steel knives, King Xia naturally looked at the soldiers around him as nothing.

"Put down all the swords!" Under Liu Shan's instructions, although the soldiers around him were unwilling, they returned the swords in their hands to the sheath due to Liu Shan's orders. More than a dozen people surrounded King Xia vigilantly. As long as King Xia dared to take action, they would draw out their long swords to remove King Xia from eight pieces.

Seeing the performance of the soldiers around him, Liu Shan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

But this sigh and shaking of the head was naturally understood by King Xia as a manifestation of Liu Shan's admit defeat.

"Hurry up and order your army to retreat and let your soldiers release all my people." King Xia's voice sounded again, and his hand holding the arm crossbow tightened the crossbow. Judging from the posture, if Liu Shan did not do as he said, the next moment, the arm crossbow in his hand would roar with anger.

"King Xia, I, Liu Shan, are not as valuable as Hebei and your soldiers." Liu Shan said that, King Xia approached Liu Shan with his arm crossbow. The crossbow arrow was already facing Liu Shan's chest. At a short distance, a person could not avoid the crossbow arrow that was shot at any rate.

"Don't talk nonsense, do what I said, otherwise you will have to die." King Xia roared sharply, but he still saw Liu Shan looking carelessly. From beginning to end, Liu Shan did not move at all when facing the arm crossbow. However, King Xia, who was holding the arm crossbow, was already a little nervous at this time. The arm crossbow was very steadily held. After all, he was a general who had been in the military for life, not an ordinary person. But King Xia still couldn't help but sweat a little. After all, his every move at this time was very important. The life and death of more than 100,000 Hebei soldiers and the gains and losses of Hebei were in his hands.

Since seeing the power of gunpowder, King Xia knew that the city walls of Youzhou would definitely not be able to stop the army of Liangzhou. After seeing the power of the arm crossbow in his hand, King Xia already knew that if the Liangzhou soldiers holding these weapons were allowed to kill into the city, no matter how brave his soldiers were, they would be shot and killed in groups. After joining the army for the rest of their lives, King Xia would already understand the terribleness of the weapons in his hand. Within a hundred steps, as long as this weapon reaches a certain number, it would be a scene of blood flowing into a river.

King Xia naturally thought that it was because of this kind of arm crossbow that the Liangzhou army defeated the grassland soldiers. In the face of such terrifying weapons, it was not surprising that more than 400,000 grassland cavalry were defeated. However, King Xia did not expect that in fact, there was only one arm crossbow that he was holding in his hand at this time, and it was Liu Shan who invited more than a dozen of the best craftsmen in Liangzhou before coming to the Central Plains. With his patient explanation and explanation, he created such an arm crossbow. Although this weapon looks very powerful, it is also very difficult to build. It is absolutely impossible for the Liangzhou army to be equipped in batches.

However, because Liu Shan mentioned to King Xia that the defeat of the grassland soldiers outside Liangzhou City, and then Liu Shan asked someone to show King Xia this kind of arm crossbow, King Xia naturally thought that the Liangzhou army defeated the grassland people with this kind of arm crossbow. Naturally, the Liangzhou army must have been equipped with a lot of such arm crossbows. Of course, King Xia's right was what Liu Shan thought of.

Liu Shan created such an illusion from the beginning, but Liu Shan did not say a lie. He did defeat the grassland people. Liu Shan showed King Xia this kind of arm crossbow, nor did he say that he defeated the grassland people with this kind of arm crossbow. From the beginning to the end, Liu Shan told King Xia all the truth, but it was this series of truths that made King Xia believe that the Liangzhou Army had a large number of arm crossbows.

Therefore, at this time, King Xia's every move was related to the survival of the Hebei army. Naturally, sweat oozed out of King Xia's forehead. However, Liu Shan still looked leisurely. Even though King Xia pointed directly at Liu Shan with his arm crossbow, he had no confidence.

"Give an order quickly!" King Xia urged again.

"King Xia, don't be nervous. You forgot one thing. This arm crossbow has not been stalked yet. The string is on your hand holding the crossbow machine. Oh, that's those few. You point at me again. You can't shoot it out." As soon as Liu Shan said, the soldiers around him understood why his commander was fearless just now. Looking at King Xia again, his forehead was full of sweat. He was looking at the arm crossbow with his eyes, and he was nervously looking at the crossbow strings. After trying the trigger of the crossbow machine a few times, he really couldn't shoot the crossbow arrow. At this time, King Xia was already nervous.

The crossbow string was indeed not raised, which was undoubtedly a huge joke for King Xia, who was born in the military. King Xia, who had been in the army for a lifetime, had not been raised, and he pointed at the people with a crossbow machine and asked people to agree to him a lot of conditions.

Even King Xia could not withstand such a blow, and his face had changed color because of shame. Liu Shan's soldiers burst into laughter. They seemed to have forgotten that they were also facing a great enemy just now, surrounded King Xia holding an arm crossbow without a string, and did not put out any harsh words or lifted his sword. But no one would mention it at this time.

Amid the soldiers' laughter, Liu Shan gave Xia Wang a tip to see how to skew the strings. This was a rather puzzling scene. All the soldiers who saw this scene opened their mouths in surprise. The person opposite was trying to harm Liu Shan, but Liu Shan taught the other party how to skew the crossbow machine. Isn't this asking for death?

Under Liu Shan's guidance, King Xia pulled the part of the winding string, but King Xia found that he could not pull it at all. Even if he used all his strength, the part would not be able to pull it less than halfway.
