Section 216: The Turks March (6)

However, just as King Xia was very angry, King Xia suddenly figured out something. The anger on King Xia's face disappeared immediately and he threw the arm crossbow to Liu Shan. King Xia thought that he could not get on the crossbow string, so his strength was already quite strong. In other words, most people could not get on the crossbow string. So, what's the use of an arm crossbow that could not even get on the crossbow string?

However, King Xia also thought that Liu Shan had no force to put the crossbow string on it just now, that is to say, there was no problem with Liu Shan using this crossbow.

Immediately, King Xia was relieved. Liu Shan was very skilled in martial arts and was able to use this crossbow, but how many experts are there like Liu Shan?

Although King Xia is not the kind of person who claims to be a master, he is not the kind of person who will underestimate himself. With King Xia's eyesight and understanding, even in the entire Liangzhou army, the people who can pull the crossbow strings are definitely no more than double digits. Arm crossbows are good things, but no one has the ability to use them, so they can only be a pile of scrap iron.

Seeing the change in King Xia's expression, Liu Shan understood why King Xia was like this.

Liu Shan calmly raised the crossbow strings, shot out all the crossbow arrows inside the armbow, took out a small thing from his pocket and put it on the armbow, and then handed it to King Xia.

"King Xia just couldn't get the string, try now." After taking the arm crossbow, King Xia pulled the crossbow again according to Liu Shan's instructions. At this time, King Xia found that this arm crossbow was not difficult to turn. When used, King Xia could use almost no force to get the crossbow up successfully. In fact, the little thing Liu Shan added to the arm crossbow just now was a very simple mechanical game that could reduce the power of the winding. This is like the screws in later generations. When you clamp a thing with a screw and a nut, it is difficult to fix it with your hands, either it is not tight, but once you use a wrench, even a teenager can fix it very tightly.

"How about it, this crossbow is my special purpose, so this thing is not installed. If it is equipped for the army, this thing must be installed." Liu Shan's gentle expression from beginning to end made King Xia depressed. Today was only a dozen minutes, but King Xia had experienced a lot of things, and his emotional fluctuations were even more intense. King Xia's mood was like a small boat in the storm. Go up and come down. At this time, King Xia was in the valley of despair. Looking at the crossbow in his hand, King Xia looked at the city of Youzhou not far away. The walls of Youzhou were extremely solid, and the structure of the inner city was very reasonable. Even a few soldiers could withstand the attack of the entire army. The food and water sources in the city were also very sufficient. Even if they were surrounded for a few months, there would be no food and grass cut off.

However, after spending more than ten minutes with Liu Shan today, King Xia understood that high and thick walls were of no use to the people in front of him, and groups of soldiers were almost the same as a group of children holding wooden sticks under the shooting of arm crossbows.

"How should King Xia choose? You can let the soldiers in Youzhou City put down their weapons and offer them out of the city. I, Liu Shan, promise that they will never make things difficult for the soldiers in Youzhou City, nor will they interfere with the affairs of the people. Of course, you can also let the soldiers in Youzhou City resist to the end. When the city is broken, I, Liu Shan, cannot guarantee the losses in the city." Liu Shan said it was not unpleasant at all, but King Xia could not help but think of the scene of blood flowing into a river when the city was broken. If the two armies faced each other, the losses of his soldiers were similar to those of the enemy, and the consequences of blood flowing into a river were also tolerated, but at this time, King Xia no longer felt that his soldiers could cause much damage to the Liangzhou Army. On the one hand, his troops were slaughtered, and on the other hand, they surrendered.

At some point, the crossbow in King Xia's hand had fallen to the ground. The tall man looked at the direction of Youzhou City, but couldn't help but his eyes were rosy. In his sight, the walls of Youzhou City were crowded with people. You could see that the soldiers saw the army besieging the city, preparing to fight the enemy's attack and laying defenses on the city wall.

But, are these still useful? When the city wall collapses, will all the preparations be useful? Thinking of the explosion and the instant collapse of the thick city wall of Hulao, King Xia closed his eyes. Those who were alive in their sight were their own soldiers, and the people in the city who participated in the defense were also busy on the city wall.

Could it be that I really have the heart to see them slaughtered like cattle and sheep? It would be fine if I didn’t know that the enemy’s weapons were so exquisite, but even though I knew that the enemy’s weapons were so exquisite, I still wanted the people and soldiers in Youzhou City to resist stubbornly, that would be a crime. Then what’s the difference between it and killing them with a knife?

The eight-foot-high man was already full of tears when he opened his eyes. Inside his sight was Youzhou City. With just one command or one word, all deaths could be avoided.

When watching Liu Shan, King Xia had returned to peace.

"Let me enter the city." After deciding on the matter, King Xia no longer hesitated. He looked at Liu Shan, and the soldiers around Liu Shan surrounded him again.

"Brother Liu Shan, you must not let the tiger return to the mountain!"

"Yes! Brother Liu Shan, we finally caught him and must not let him go." The soldiers around persuaded Liu Shan one after another. Liu Shan looked at King Xia and made a gesture of inviting him. King Xia looked at Liu Shan and walked towards Youzhou City.

"King Xia, you will never regret your choice today." Liu Shan looked at Dou Jiande's figure and already knew what Dou Jiande was going to do. If you don't have any blood, take Youzhou. As long as Youzhou is taken, several towns guarded by Hebei can be successfully taken. At this time, Liu Shan finally put down a heart that had been hanging in his throat.

After more than ten minutes, Liu Shan, who seemed to have been calm, was actually the most nervous person. He understood that he had no weapon at all. He had only one arm crossbow, but there was no way to change the strength of his Liangzhou Army and the Hebei Army on the battlefield. What could be changed was just a decision of one person. At this time, this person's decision had come out, and Liu Shan finally saw the dawn of regaining Hebei.

Seeing someone approaching the city wall, the defenders in Youzhou City had already started to take action. Hundreds of archers were immediately protruding out of the city, and hundreds of archers were facing Dou Jiande, the lord of Hebei. Liu Shan was really afraid that some archer would not hold it at this time and fired an arrow. If there was really an arrow, that one arrow would be enough to change history. Fortunately, there was no such arrow.

"I am Dou Jiande!" Dou Jiande shouted to the city wall. At this time, the people on the city wall looked at the people coming, and several officers guarding the city rushed over and looked at the people under the city.

After a while, a violent cheer broke out on the city wall, just like the cheers from a group of people who had just found themselves winning the grand prize. Everyone shouted about King Xia and King Xia. The archer put away his longbow. The gate of Youzhou opened. More than a dozen cavalry came out of the city gate and took Dou Jiande into the city.
