Song Emperor Jiangshan

Xiao Shan's jaw was a little bit tight, he didn't believe in such things as heavenly soldiers and generals, but the others were different, those soldiers had long heard that the reason why Wang Bupo was able to run rampant was because of these two magic weapons, now he is fighting If it goes well, no one cares about it.But at this moment, when they heard the prisoners, more than one prisoner said this, everyone trembled a little.After all, in places where science and culture are backward, there is still a market for superstition.

Xiao Shan couldn't help boosting his morale again. He didn't have a magic weapon, so he couldn't compete with Wang Bupo in this respect. Let yourself succeed?

After the pre-war mobilization was completed, the battle started immediately. Everything was within Xiao Shan's expectation. Half an hour later, the stronghold had been eaten.

Xiao Shan felt a little relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief. When he was arranging how to rebuild the stronghold and make it the foundation of his own side, suddenly the sound of war drums sounded outside, and shouts of killing surrounded him from all directions.

The stronghold occupied by Xiaoshan is nothing more than a tower to put it bluntly. He climbed up to the top of the tower and saw, my good fellow, in the jungle around the tower, suddenly many soldiers wearing yellow Taoist robes appeared. Open, four or five people who looked like generals rushed out, followed by many infantry. According to preliminary estimates, there were more than 2000 people dispatched this time!

Xiao Shan didn't panic, and immediately organized the archers to shoot.

However, something unexpected happened.

Those Wang Bupo's pawns were obviously wearing civilian clothes and didn't even have armor, but when the bows and arrows shot at them, they couldn't penetrate them at all, and they all fell to the ground.After shooting for two rounds, Xiao Shan heard the slogan of those "monsters": "Heavenly soldiers and generals will descend to earth, those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish!"

Xiao Shan groaned badly!Before he was born, the captives he had taken in dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, raised their hands above their heads, and shouted: "Wang Tianshi's heavenly soldiers are coming! Invulnerable, invulnerable!!"

Xiao Shan immediately raised the banner and directed his direct descendants to change formation, throwing the captured prisoners to the front as a meat wall.

The captives were obviously very afraid of Wang Bupo's heavenly soldiers and generals, and they dared not resist at all. Xiao Shan's descendants shot arrows repeatedly, but they couldn't hurt those "demon thieves" in common clothes. shouted.

In such a situation, head-to-head fighting is not suitable, not to mention low morale, even when morale is high, the manpower is not the opponent's opponent.

Xiao Shan's deputy general immediately suggested: "General, retreat! Withdraw quickly!"

Seeing this, Xiao Shan immediately demanded to retreat. Of course, he would not care about the captives when he retreated. All his direct descendants drew out the heavy knives at their waists, charged outward, forced a bloody path, and ran towards the nearest stronghold.

Xiao Shan also retreated, feeling a little comforted in his heart: at least his army is professional soldiers who have been trained, and the speed at which the enemy can't catch up.

However, this idea was quickly shattered by the ruthless reality.

As the enemy shouted in unison, "Drink the water"!Those "monsters" in Taoist robes took off the bamboo tubes around their waists one after another, poured a bamboo tube of unknown liquid into their mouths, and their speed doubled in an instant, as if they had taken a stimulant. What a difference!

Xiao Shan retreated while fighting, and he himself fought against the enemy, and found that the enemy's movements, agility and explosive power were not commensurate with the opponent's thin and skinny figure at all!The power is simply terrifying!

Almost killing a bloody road, the talents led by Xiao Shan retreated to the fortifications built in the stronghold captured two days ago.Wang Bupo's people seemed to be tireless at all, from noon to night, they were still screaming excitedly until midnight, without any rest!

Xiao Shan fell into a big somersault.

All the prisoners he captured ran away, and dozens of his own troops were injured.Half of the stronghold occupied a few days ago was lost. 300 people and [-] or [-] wounded soldiers gathered behind the fortifications. It is conceivable that the morale was low.

Fortunately, Xiao Shan was well-trained in normal times, and his retreat would not turn into a rout. Now facing external provocations, he could still hide behind the fortifications and fight back.Xiao Shan found that half of the feathered arrows are basically ineffective against the enemy, and he must use a heavy crossbow to resist one or two.

If this situation continues, the entire army of Xiaoshan may be wiped out here tomorrow!

It was already impossible to retreat safely, and Xiao Shan's team also complained about him: It is simply impossible for us 300 people to come and wipe out the thieves!

The Xiao Department will only care about our own meritorious service, and don't care about our life or death!

But these were just whispers behind his back, and no one dared to say such things to Xiao Shan.

One failure will greatly reduce the prestige of the coach, and three or four more times, Xiao Shan can't guarantee whether his subordinates will tie him up and surrender to Wang Bupo.After all, the other party is a god descending to earth, and the heavenly soldiers and generals are the number one...

The lieutenant general was also a little shocked, and even regretted: General Xiao, we shouldn't have come!Wang Bupo really knows sorcery, otherwise how can he be called a demon thief?Too underestimated the enemy!

Xiao Shan shook his head, he didn't believe in heavenly soldiers and generals at all, the opponent brought a team of Gundam mechs, they were more convincing than heavenly soldiers and generals.

Xiao Shan pondered for a while, then said: "Didn't Wang Bupo claim to be invulnerable? Look, there are many wounded soldiers of his outside! It's not true that he is invulnerable!"

A team general stepped forward: "Their talisman water is so powerful! Once you drink it, you will become brave and invincible!"

Xiao Shan also couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, but he had already observed that some of those people didn't seem to listen to the general's greetings very much. Running back and forth outside yelling like crazy.

Xiao Shan said: "It's definitely not brave and invincible, otherwise, they won't have the advantage and withdraw their troops! They have to send someone up to catch one of their soldiers who drank the talisman water and come back alive to see what's going on!"

As he said this, he looked behind him.Although the soldiers behind him did not retreat to evade the mission assigned by the officer, their eyes showed fear, and no one dared to catch the "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals".

Seeing this, Xiao Shan had no choice but to go to the stage by himself, but he was afraid that he was not enough alone, so he asked: "There are still three helpers, who will go with me to catch a job and come back?"

He waited for a long time and didn't get an answer. He felt a little frustrated in his heart. The soldier who had been leading for a year turned out to be of this quality, and he was too incompetent.

But when he turned around, he found that more than a dozen people had stepped out silently and stood behind him.The dozen or so people all had tragic expressions on their faces, determined to die.

Xiao Shan felt a little comforted in his heart, and said: "You don't need so many, you, you, you!" He ordered three, "Follow me!"

After finishing speaking, he jumped out of the temporary fence in the dark night and rushed towards the nearest "demon soldier".

The four of them ran extremely fast, and they arrived at the monster soldier in an instant. They were afraid of the enemy's strength, and they were all in full armor, holding heavy knives, ready to fight with their lives.

However, what happened next was even more unexpected. As soon as Xiao Shan made a move, he chopped down that "demon soldier". Very easily, the opponent's thigh was cut off with a single jump.

Almost without any resistance, the demon soldier who was still howling was dragged into the fortification.

Xiao Shan saw that demon soldier howling continuously, flipped the handle of the knife, and knocked him on the back of the head, the other party was completely silent.

A group of soldiers gathered around curiously, this is a living "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals"!

Xiao Shan began to pick off the man's clothes, and after taking off his Taoist robe, he found something.

There was a big board on the back of the man's chest, made of something unknown, very light.There were crooked spells drawn on the board, even Xiao Shan couldn't understand them.

Xiao Shan took off the board, and with one smooth stroke, he easily cut a wound on the man's chest.Xiao Shan said: "It's not that it's invulnerable, it should be because of this board!"

Xiao Shan's deputy general picked up the board, looked back and forth, and said, "This thing...is so strange!"

Xiao Shan asked, "What's so strange?"

The lieutenant general said: "It seems... It's hard to say, no way! Impossible!"

Xiao Shan took the board, thought about it and wanted to scratch it with a knife, but he couldn't.The lieutenant general took out the flint, lit the fire, and burned it for a while. The sealed edge was boiled, and there were layers of things inside.That thing looked like—paper!

Xiao Shan wasn't sure, so he stretched out his hands to tear it off again. The layers were glued tightly together, and it took some effort to tear it apart. Xiao Shan tried it again, and it was nothing but paper!

Xiao Shan and the lieutenant general looked at each other, and then their eyes turned to a soldier of their own side.

Xiao Shan waved: "Come here, take off your armor!"

The soldier obediently took off his armor, Xiao Shan scraped off the outer layer of paint, and then took a fire to burn it, but it didn't burn at all, and he couldn't tear it apart even though he tried hard. up.

Comparing the interlayer of the armor with the interlayer of the demon charm, they are exactly the same!

Xiao Shan scolded: "Fuck! It's too bad, it's actually inferior paper armor!"

Paper armor is not a rare thing. It is made of paper and silk. After special processing, it is not only lightweight, but also waterproof and fireproof.There are many such armors in the Song Army, because they are durable, light and flexible, and low in cost.General soldiers wear this.

Now that the monster soldiers who caught the enemy were using this, is this the so-called invulnerability?

Xiao Shan was a little speechless, no wonder those demon soldiers were wearing Taoist robes, seemingly defenseless, but bows and arrows couldn't hurt them, that's how it is!

The armor worn by the enemy is no different from that worn by your own army!Oh, there are still some. The ones used by Xiaoshan were issued by the imperial court. They are better in fire resistance than Wang Bupo's. The craftsmanship is also excellent, and the outside is painted with lacquer.Unlike Wang Bupo, who just drew crooked spells as decoration!

Seeing this, a group of soldiers gathered around, chattering in unison: "This is an inferior product made privately!"

"At that time, I panicked and shot arrows randomly. It turned out to be this thing!"

"It can only protect the chest and abdomen, and the limbs are not covered!"

Xiao Shan said calmly: "Of course, Wang Bupo has little money, so he can't get so many paper armors. Usually he is reluctant to take them out and wear them. When he uses them in battle, he distributes them to soldiers. They say they are divine armors, but they are actually ordinary armors. Armor, it’s just that those soldiers listened to his fool, thinking that they were really invulnerable, and they became very brave in battle! Tomorrow they will be set on fire! Inferior paper armor will die if it touches the fire.”

Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed, and it was no longer the same panic-stricken look as before.

The lieutenant general said again: "What is that talisman water?"

Xiao Shan also felt strange, that thing seemed to be more precious to the other party, the demon soldier who happened to be captured had a bamboo tube on his body, Xiao Shan took it off, and there was still juice left in it.Xiao Shan tasted a little, spit it out, and handed it to the lieutenant general: "Taste it!"

The lieutenant tasted a little carefully, then shook his head: "It tastes weird, what is it?"

Xiao Shan was powerless, and after a while, he said: "Fushui is something we don't have. It's not a new product, just a little stimulant!"

Everyone was puzzled, one of the soldiers took it and tasted it, and shouted: "It's ephedra!"

Everyone looked at the soldier, and the soldier scratched his head in embarrassment: "My family used to run a pharmacy in the Central Plains, and there was this in it. But it's for asthma, right?"

Xiao Shan said: "A little bit can cure asthma, but if you use too much, it will make people excited and become infinitely powerful."

Everyone was a little sad, today everyone saw how powerful the monster soldiers were, and how they moved quickly.

Xiao Shan carefully recalled the battle just now, and said: "No wonder, it only lasted for an hour, and the troops are about to be withdrawn! After using this thing, it will instantly increase the combat power, but after using it, the next thing is heartbeat, palpitation, and weakness. , I couldn’t sleep all night, and I couldn’t recover after two or three days! If you use it a few times, you will be useless!”

After Xiao Shan finished speaking, he pointed to the captured "demon soldier" on the ground who was foaming at the mouth, and said, "Here, that's it! I think he is going to die soon."

Everyone shivered behind their backs, feeling a little scared.

Xiao Shan said: "It seems that Wang Bupo doesn't have anything else to do, just rely on these things. It's easy to deal with! There is no ephedra in the south, and Wang Bupo's stuff should not be much, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Let's get rid of it, tonight Get a good night's sleep, they won't come here again!"

Seeing this, most of the soldiers' fear of Wang Bupo's "heavenly soldiers and generals" dissipated in their hearts, and the lost morale barely returned, and they no longer changed their colors.

After everyone left, Xiao Shan's lieutenant general said: "Even if we know the tricks of the demons, we have no way to defeat them! Lieutenant Xiao, we have to withdraw, now is the best time!"

Xiao Shan sighed from the bottom of his heart, indeed, even if he knew that the opponent was using inferior paper armor and pouring stimulants before the battle, at most it could only eliminate the psychological fear.There is no benefit to the reversal of the forces of the enemy and the enemy.

It is impossible to capture Xuanzhou City within two or three days. Even if they win the outlying strongholds, if the opponent takes drugs, their own people still cannot fight.You can't compete with each other who is more aggressive in taking drugs, right?Although there is no ephedra in the south, no one knows how much of this stuff Wang Bupo hoarded.After three or four times like this, the damage to my own people is gone.

Xiao Shan looked at the sky helplessly, the moon was in the middle of the sky, but there was no dark cloud at all.He has been here for four or five days, and he doesn't know what's going on with Zhao Yuan, but he probably has no hope, should he withdraw his troops now?

Xiao Shan didn't think about this problem well either, he was very tired after fighting all day, leaned against the low wall and fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly woke up from his sleep, saying: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid of this! I have a solution!"

His lieutenant general was still on patrol, when he heard Xiao Shan's call, he came over and asked, "General, what trick do you have?"

Xiao Shan said with a smile: "There is no clever plan, but there is a way to make them internally fight!"

Early the next morning, Xiao Shan sent a small group of troops to pretend to be provocative, and sure enough, he attracted a few "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals". After they had been active for an hour, they became frantic. Surround them, and easily eliminate about a hundred enemies.

The stimulants are not continuous, and harvesting after the effect of the medicine is the simplest thing!

But this method is only used once, and it doesn't work.

The opponent adjusted their tactics in a targeted manner, came out again, did not take drugs, and only changed to a large army marching together. Xiaoshan has few people, and in the face of this kind of inferiority between the enemy and ourselves, there is no advantage.

After inquiring, Xiao Shan learned that this method of concentrating troops was the idea of ​​Wang Bupo's white-faced military adviser.

Xiao Shan and Wang Bupo were deadlocked.Whenever Xiao Shan came up with a new tactic, the other side would adjust it in time according to the situation, and each had a disadvantage, but they didn't lose too much advantage to the other side.

But the opponent had a city to rely on, and Xiaoshan's troops had almost run out of food, and they felt like gnawing tree bark and digging grass roots. After a day or two, there was no turning point, so they could only withdraw their troops and prevent the enemy from chasing them.

This day Xiao Shan counted his money and food, he really felt that he couldn't support it any longer, otherwise his people would be exhausted.We had to retreat the next day, and we lost this battle.

Xiao Shan couldn't sleep at night. He lay on a cowhide pillow and lay in his tent, his mind was full of lost, defeated, and withdrawing troops, and the words were played in a loop.But he thought of Zhao Yuan again, Zhao Yuan said to send rescuers, if his rescuers can really arrive, maybe there will be a turning point.

But where is Zhao Yuan?Xiao Shan was in a daze in his sleep, and at the end, only Zhao Yuan's eyes were left dangling in front of him.When he opened his eyes, it was Zhao Yuan's face in front of him, and when he closed his eyes, it was still Zhao Yuan's face in front of him.

Xiao Shan howled depressed in his sleep: Brother, don't dream of him, Mr. Sora Aoi, hurry up and save me!Whoooo!

But I heard a voice saying in my ear: "Who is Sora Aoi? Who did you dream about again?"
