"Um?"

Below the Central Army Commander's Stage, Li Li did not pay attention to Xianyufu at first, and his eyes remained on Tadun. Until Xianyufu attacked Tadun, Xianyufu's figure entered Li Li's sight. When Xianyufu accidentally shot a gun, Li Li was very surprised. He did not expect that Xianyufu had such courage, and knew he would still dare to wait for an opportunity to attack Tadun.

As Xian Yufu failed to attack, Tadun slid to the side of the war horse. Then he hid under the horse's belly and actually slashed Xian Yufu's mount from under the horse's belly. In an instant, Li Li suddenly opened his eyes wide, his expression suddenly changed, and he focused on the whole process of Tadun killing Xian Yufu.

But the moment Tadun slipped off the horse's back, he stood up on tiptoe, and the sword in his hand was rubbed against the ground and handed it out from under the belly of the war horse. Immediately afterwards, he saw him hiding under the belly of the war horse, slid with one hand and cut off the rear hoof of Xianyufu's riding seat under the crotch. After one strike, Tadun slipped under the belly of the war horse, turned over from the other side to sit on the back of the horse, and waved his hand to cut off Xianyufu's neck, which was thrown out by the war horse. The whole process seemed slow, but in fact it was done in one go, no more than ten seconds. Perhaps there was no concept of minute and second in this era, and he could only judge the relatively short time by hourglass or burning incense, but Li Li knew it well and secretly calculated the time in his heart.

What is instant killing? The process of Tadun killing Xian Yufu is instant killing. As his hand lifts his sword, Xian Yufu takes a different body and head, and the corpse is on the spot.

Li Li was not surprised by Tadun's quick and fast skills. After all, Xian Yufu was at best a second-rate general, not even a first-rate general, and his martial arts were really not as powerful.

Through a brief observation of the battle, Li Li also had a very clear understanding of Tadun's bravery. However, what really surprised him was that Tadun's mount actually used a double-sided stirrup. This double-sided stirrup was deliberately hidden by Tadun before the battle. He deceived Li Li and the generals under his command, and it was not revealed until he was fighting in the battle.

In fact, bilateral stirrups were no longer new to Li Li. Six years ago, when he became the prefect of Wuwei, in order to deal with Han Sui and Ma Teng and the Qiang tribes on the Western Regions, he began to use bilateral stirrups and nailed horses to the war horses, thereby enhancing the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under his command. However, the use of bilateral stirrups was only a flash in the pan, and only appeared for a few months. After Li Li pacified the four counties of the Western Regions and severely damaged the Korean and Ma coalition forces, he no longer used bilateral stirrups, and only nailed horseshoes were still used.

In the following years, Li Li only equips the expedition cavalry with bilateral stirrups when he went to fight against the barbarian tribes to enhance his combat effectiveness, and never used bilateral stirrups in internal combat. The barbarian tribes conquered by the Western Liang army have long been subdued and included in the Han people, and their tribes and ethnic groups have long disappeared. Therefore, in recent years, bilateral stirrups have never appeared in the battles of the princes.

This is also the result of Li Li's deliberate blockade of news, which is purely selfish. In his opinion, both sides of the horses can certainly enhance the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, but invisibly greatly increase the number of deaths on the battlefield, adding unnecessary casualties and killings. Therefore, he has always pursued the omnipotent battle against external wars. However, he has reservations about internal wars, and tries to avoid unnecessary casualties.

Perhaps Li Li is too pedantic or too soft-hearted, but everyone has their own persistence and their own principles of being a human being. If things that touch the bottom line can be avoided, it is best not to touch the bottom line. Otherwise, once the bottom line is lost, people will become crazy, scruples, fearless, and act recklessly, and eventually the whole person will completely collapse and then go to destruction.

This time during the eastern expedition to Youzhou, Li Li's war cavalry was also equipped with double-sided kicks, but they were not easily shown. They could only be seen on the battlefield and were preserved in the baggage camp for the rest of the time. However, so far, the superb riding technique of using double-sided kicks like Tadun and being able to circle around the riding with the help of the kicks is rare among the soldiers under Li Li's command. It is not difficult to say that it is rare. It is not difficult to see that Tadun has used double-sided kicks for a day or two, and only by long-term use can he practice such superb riding techniques.

But where did Tadun's double-sided stirrup come from, or how did he learn about the double-sided stirrup? The secret that the princes of the Central Plains didn't know, why did the barbarian leaders know first? Who told him this, or was there a spy inside Xiliang? Could it be a traitor?

Li Li was quite angry about this, and thought of many things he had never thought about in an instant, which prompted him to make up his mind that some things must be done in advance to avoid endless disasters.

Xian Yufu died, and his head was cut off by Tadun in front of the central army. He didn't know how Tadun used the sword before he died, but he really died with his eyes closed.

Seeing Xian Yufu die tragically under the Tadun knife, Li Li's eyes were as cold as ice. The sword he held in his hand suddenly flipped, and the cold blade shook in the sand.

"Lord, please order to kill this thief!" Perhaps feeling Li Li's cold and serious murderous intent, Li Zhi, who was standing beside him, immediately volunteered.

If Li Zhi had not volunteered to fight, Li Li might have personally taken the battle to kill Tadun. But after hearing Li Zhi's voice, Li Li's expression changed slightly, instantly calmed down, and his gloomy cheeks quickly returned to calm.

After a little silence, Li Li said in a deep voice: "Forget it, wait a little longer. The head-on decisive battle is not as good as the generals in front of the battlefield. The mobilization of troops must be based on the overall situation. There is no order, and it cannot be moved lightly. Otherwise, any mistake in any link may affect the success or failure of the entire battle situation. This is the reason why a thousand-mile dike collapses into an ant hole. Now our 10,000-yuan guard cavalry is the backbone of the army. If it does not move, it will be devastating to the barbarian army." After saying that, Li Li looked up at the commander above his head, and his eyes happened to meet Zhuge Liang unexpectedly. In an instant, Li Li pointed his head at Zhuge Liang, indicating that he should not panic and respond calmly, and the entire army would obey his orders.

Li Zhi nodded when he heard the voice, and no longer spoke. The expression on his face was exactly the same as that on Li Li just now. He stared at Tadun, who was galloping in front of the formation in a cold manner. The cold light flashed in his eyes. It seemed that as long as Li Li agreed, he would immediately step forward and take off Tadun's head on his neck. This was definitely not arrogant. It was Li Zhi who did have this strength.

If he is facing a head-on battle, Li Zhi may not be the top peak powerhouse in the world. However, if it is a sneak attack and assassination, there are only a handful of people in the world who can block him, and there are definitely no more than five. Among these limited five people, Xiliang army occupies at least three seats, Huan Fei, Zhao Yun and Li Li; who will occupy the remaining two places, it is unknown at present. In other words, only those who are very familiar with Li Zhi and who are extremely skilled in martial arts can defend against Li Zhi's sneak attack and assassination; otherwise, no matter how powerful the opponent is, it will be the same in front of him. After one move, it will be the time when the head falls to the ground.

Just as Li Zhi was thinking and Li Li was waiting patiently. Zhuge Liang on the commanding stage waved the flag again. Suddenly, the 10,000 infantry directly below the stage retreated to both sides neatly and orderly under the command of their respective generals to make way for the middle passage. Tadun, who was fighting in front of the central army, led the Wuhuan army to take the opportunity to rush over, trying to seize Li Li's central army's flag in one fell swoop; if he could capture and kill the Han commander Li Li, then everything would be fine, once and for all.

"Tada---Gaha!"

In an instant, the sound of the horse trampling of the Wuhuan cavalry mixed with the "creaking" sound behind the Han army's central army. However, except for Li Li standing under the commander's platform, Li Zhi and others could clearly hear these two sounds. Tadun, who was sprinting on the horse and the tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry behind him could not hear such sharp and harsh "creaking" sounds, and it was even more impossible that this special sound would represent anything.

"Car crossbow is ready, ten rounds of shooting haha!"

As the flag-holding soldiers shouted loudly, the last row of Jinqiuwei Zhan, who was blocking the rear army, rode his horse to make way. The rows of crossbows behind him appeared. There were as many as ten rows of crossbows in front of the Wuhuan Iron Cavalry, the first row was 200 rows of crossbows, the second row was 150, the third row was 120, and the fourth row was 100, the last row was 30 rows of crossbows, totaling 600 rows of crossbows.

(Car crossbow: a crossbow is placed on a chariot to fire arrows; once the teeth are fired, the arrows are raised at once, and 700 steps, all the city towers are destroyed, and the towers are also falling. It is called a car crossbow. In addition, the car crossbow is deep and the arrows are as big as rafters, which means that the car crossbow can fire multiple crossbow arrows at a time, and the crossbow arrows used are very large, just like the rafters used for building houses. There are many different opinions on the specificity, and there is no way to investigate. This article sets the car crossbow as a single crossbow arrow. Therefore, if the crossbow arrow is replaced with a specially-made extended feather arrow, and several or more feather arrows are put together, multiple arrows can be fired at once.)

The strange "crunch" sound just now was the sound of thousands of infantry and soldiers working together to pull the motor and place crossbow arrows. Before this, they had been blocked by the Jinqiu guards and were in the center of the army, so they would not be discovered by the barbarian army at all. Even the cavalry on both wings did not know that there were so many attacking weapons hidden in the rear formation of the central army - giant crossbows. This was Zhuge Liang's masterpiece.

In order to raise and make these crossbows, Zhuge Liang ordered all cities under Youzhou to collect crossbows, whether they are good or damaged or abandoned, to send them to Youbeiping County City. The more than 200 crossbows carried by the Xiliang army during this trip were handed over to Zhuge Liang. Then, Zhuge Liang mobilized more than 20,000 infantry troops for half a month, and the general workshop that built arrows was even more busy for more than 20 days, creating special lengthened feather arrows and crossbow arrows day and night. Until the day before the final battle, a total of 600 crossbows of varying quality were repaired, and five thousand special feather arrows several feet long were created, and five hundred giant crossbow arrows were created.

It is precisely because of this that 30,000 infantrymen went to fight in this decisive battle, and 10,000 infantry soldiers were the crossbow soldiers who had been trained by Zhuge Liang for half a month. They controlled the six hundred seemingly crude crossbows in front of them.

It has to be said that this is the completely different way of using troops in Zhuge Liang and Li Li. He is not good at fighting in the battle, which prompted him to shift his energy to weapons, invisibly combining the maximum use of weapons and the way of using troops, thus forming a unique mode of command and conquest. This combat method was highly praised by military strategists in later generations, and the importance of weapons became increasingly strong, which was uncontrollable, and eventually evolved into weapons to completely replace bravery, becoming the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Later generations called Zhuge Liang "Zhuge Wuhou" or "Zhisheng". This was not only the title of Zhuge Liang's marquis, but also the title of Zhuge Liang by military generals and civil officials. They each had their own titles and opinions.

The military generals called him "Wuhou", not only because he used troops like a god, and was invincible in every battle, but also because of his unique ingenuity in the development and use of weapons. It was the first and far-reaching influence. The reason why civil servants called him "Sage of Wisdom" was because he was the most successful commander of the three armies in history who was purely a literati, and was regarded as a pioneer in the commander of the literati's army and was regarded as a model for generations. Before him, most scholars acted as staff or guests, and at most military advisors or prime ministers, and there was no precedent for the three armies. However, after Zhuge Liang took charge of the army, he made many outstanding achievements and achieved great achievements, thus creating a great story about the literati's army. He was highly praised by later literati and poets, and he rushed to imitate them.

The literati was promoted in the later Song and Ming dynasties, and the one they often talked about was Zhuge Liang, who had been famous throughout the ages, and it has been passed down to this day. It is not difficult to see from this that the brightest and dazzling star of the Three Kingdoms was Zhuge Liang. The battle of Lu Longsai at this time was the first show of "Zhuge Wuhou". If this battle was won, Li Li would probably be embarrassed to be called "Wuhou" again, and he should "return the things to the original owner"! (From ancient times to the present, there are countless generals who have been named Wuhou, but there is only one Wuhou who has been truly passed down for a hundred years and is Zhuge Kongming.)
