"What's this?"
Next to him, Liao Li saw Liu Qing picking up something from the ground, and moved forward curiously. He felt that the small object was crystal clear and sparkling under the shadow of the bonfire. It looked familiar, but it also sounded familiar. Can't name it.
This unspeakable feeling made him feel quite uncomfortable.
"It's a mirror!" Liu Qing opened her mouth and said the name of the small object, not knowing whether she noticed the discomfort in Liao Li's heart.
"Yes, yes!" Liao Li was stunned when he heard this, and nodded repeatedly. But a moment later, his face showed a little confusion, and he said strangely, "Is it really a mirror? Why are you looking at"
"You can't be wrong!" Taking the small, crystal-clear object in her hand, Liu Qing looked at it carefully and said in a deep voice, "To be precise, this kind of mirror is called a tinfoil mirror!"
From the perspective of craftsmanship, the tinfoil mirror is not much different from the mirrors of later generations. How can the clarity of the mirror be comparable to that of a bronze mirror? This kind of expensive handicraft can be regarded as a luxury product even among the celebrities and aristocrats in Jingjing. If you are not a wealthy family, you will never be able to afford such a luxury product worth thousands of gold.
But why does this expensive luxury product appear here?
"That's right" Liao Li touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "Why is it different from what I saw in Dong Gong's Mansion and the Lord's Mansion?"
Liu Qing¡¯s eyes flashed when she heard this, and she said with a sneer. "Because it is not an ordinary mirror! The reason why you look at it awkwardly is that it is different from the mirrors in Dong Gong's Mansion and Xie's Mansion. The reason is that the former is flat, and this come and see!"
After hearing this, Liao Li leaned over to take a closer look. Only then did he notice that the mirror was not a fragment of a mirror, but a complete mirror. What was even more incredible was that it was not flat like an ordinary mirror. , but one side is triangular. One side is flat, and it seems that it should be applied tightly to something.
After staring at the strange-shaped mirror for a long time, Liu Qing murmured, "Sure enough, knowledge determines the level of wisdom"
"What?" Liao Li asked curiously, seemingly not hearing clearly.
Hearing this, Liu Qing woke up from a dream, with an unnatural look flashing across her face. He stood up and changed the subject and said, "Let's go, my military advisor has seen through the Western Army's trick!"
Liao Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked inexplicably with surprise, "Seriously? The military advisor has really seen through the Western Army's huh? Trick?" At the end of the sentence, Liao Li couldn't help being stunned.
"Yes. It's a trick!" As if he had guessed what Liao Li was thinking, Liu Qing smiled slightly and said lightly, "It's really unexpected. The Western Army, one of the four dignified towns, is called weird. The inexplicable art of war turns out to be nothing more than something that seems to be the best deception in the world of martial arts"
[But having said that. Before I met that guy Xie An, I was afraid that I couldn't understand ah, I couldn't understand. Although she is a hateful person, that woman Changsun Xiangyu is indeed right. Knowledge determines the level of wisdom]
After saying that, Liu Qing filled in her unfinished words.
Liao Li couldn't guess what Liu Qing was feeling at this moment. Seeing her keep saying that she had seen through the Western Army's tricks Well, no matter what it was, as long as she could let go of the depression she had been feeling these days, Liao Li wouldn't do it at all. No matter so much.
But when Liao Li asked, Liu Qing shook her head mysteriously and said solemnly, "The secret must not be leaked. We will know in a while!"
Liao Li couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he heard this. He thought that this Military Advisor Liu was good at everything, but one thing was very similar to Changsun Xiangyu, that is, he had to wait until a certain moment before he told his generals exactly what had happened. The inconsiderate and uninformed generals felt as uncomfortable as cat claws scratching their hearts when they desperately wanted to know the truth.
"Let's go, it's time to wrap things up!"
Liu Qing casually put the oddly shaped small lens into the small sachet on her waist, and turned around and headed in the direction of Liang Qiuwu. Compared with the depressed look on her face when she came, she looked very energetic now. She looked full of confidence, as if the Western Army was already in her possession.
At the same time, in the forest not far from the Eastern Army, Xixiang Hou Hancheng was standing behind a tree, looking at the bonfires lit by the Eastern Army in the distance.
What is the first of the four towns!
What the best cavalry in the world!
That¡¯s all!
A somewhat cold smile appeared at the corner of Han Chang's mouth.
He does haveHe is proud of his capital, because in the past few days, the Western Army led by him has succeeded in sneak attacks on the Eastern Army many times, without ever failing.
Some people may wonder, is the Western Army really so strong that it can suppress the Eastern Army, which is so powerful that even King Li Mao of Yan is afraid of it? Or is it, as Liao Li and others previously said? As guessed, in fact, all the soldiers of the Western Army are top assassins whose concealment skills are comparable to those of Liang Qiuhao, Jin Ling'er, Mo Fei and others? Or is it that the soldiers of the Western Army are actually ghosts who can burrow through the earth?
None!
The Western Army is a human being, a living human being, and although they can be called elites, they cannot be compared with the Eastern Army. The reason why their dragons see the beginning but not the end is that they possess an extremely special set of armor. .
Ah, armor
The Marquis of Xixiang, Han Yu, unconsciously turned his gaze to the soldiers behind him. The soldiers of the Western Army were inspecting their armor.
What kind of armor is that?
While a Western soldier was wearing armor, he saw that the armor actually reflected all the surrounding scenery, whether it was the surrounding trees or people, everything was clearly reflected. When the Western soldier put on the entire suit of armor, After putting on the clothes, something appalling happened. The living soldier just disappeared in place.
Looking along the line of sight of Xixiang Hou Hanyu, he saw that the thin silver-white armor on the ground "rised" out of thin air. After a rustling sound, a headless and limbless silver-white armored soldier appeared in front of Han Xi.
We know it from the footprints on the ground. In fact, the soldier did not really disappear. He just made the impossible possible through some incredible prop, allowing a living person to disappear out of thin air.
Refraction!
If Xie An were here at this moment, he would obviously be able to reveal the secret of the Western Army: It turns out that the real armor of the Western Army is not the silver-white outer armor that can only be regarded as confusing, but the armor inside. A set of leather armor with those weird-looking lenses that Liu Qing found all affixed to the leather armor. A set of armor that can refract the soldiers wearing this armor and the scenery behind them through the corners of the mirror through the refraction of light. The armor with those lenses in front of the armor.
No wonder the Western Army is known as the most mysterious army of the Four Towns, because this kind of armor that transcends the times contains concepts that completely transcend this era. Even if it is called an invisibility cloak, it is probably not an exaggeration.
? Same. It¡¯s no wonder that the Western Army never exercises with other armies. Even if it pretended to accept the invitation of the fifth emperor Li Cheng to participate in the rebellion, when faced with the suppression of the Eastern Army, the Western Army was just showing off, because of this kind of trump card. . It's definitely a trick that can only be used when absolutely necessary.
Once discovered, the Western Army will no longer pose any threat. At best, it will be just an infantry who is good at crossbows.
It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the coercion and inducement of Yang Ling, the head coach of the Northern Xinjiang Army, the Han family and his son would never have used the only and final trump card of the Western Army. After all, unlike the Eastern Army, the Southern Army, and the Northern Army, the Western Army is also called the Conspiracy Army. It was originally created as an army with the purpose of disrupting the enemy's army, and the creation of this army also used time-honored craftsmanship and immeasurable money. After all, tinfoil mirrors were considered an extremely rare luxury item in the Zhou Dynasty. A set of armor like the Western Army's would never be cheaper than the Eastern Army's cost of raising war horses, or the Southern Army's cost of making fine iron heavy armor.
It is no exaggeration to say that in fact, the four armies in the four towns of Hebei and Beijing, which are the last line of defense of Hebei and Beijing, are themselves piled up with countless amounts of money. In addition to having different types of arms and different roles on the battlefield, they actually cost huge amounts of money. From a capital perspective, they are actually pretty much the same.
But there is one thing that is different between the Western Army and the other three armies of Hebei and Jingzhen. That is, the incredible mirror armor they spent a huge amount of money to build allows them to do some things that are extremely unbelievable in the eyes of the world, but this additional deterrent effect , are also as fragile as the raw materials of their mirror armor, just like bubbles. Once the deceptive trick is exposed, there is no doubt that they will be swallowed up by the powerful Eastern Army.
And this is exactly what the Han family and his son were worried about before.
But having said that, various signs in the past few days show that the Eastern Army does not seem to be able to see through this deceptive trick.
With that incredible set of mirror armor, there were several times when the Western soldiers who succeeded in sneak attacks were standing in front of the Eastern soldiers, witnessing the fearful expressions in the eyes of the Eastern soldiers as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime.
When thinking about this matter, Xixiang Hou Hanchen couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"Marquis!" A man with no head and no fourThe silver-white armor "floated" to Xixiang Hou Hansheng and called out in a low voice. To be honest, if Han Chang didn't know this clearly, anyone else would have been frightened to death by this shocking spectacle.
"Is it time?"
Han Yu asked calmly.
"Yes, according to the reports from the informants, just as the Marquis expected, the Eastern Army is fleeing towards the dead canyon step by step"
"Very good!" A smile appeared at the corner of Han Yu's mouth.
Do you think the Western Army¡¯s tactics are just sneak attacks?
Ridiculous!
The real purpose of the sneak attack is just to drive the prey into the trap!
Once the Eastern Army sets foot in that dead canyon, hum!
A hint of coldness flashed in Han Chang's eyes.
What? What should the Western Army do if they notice?
That dead canyon is more than ten miles long, and it is deep in the mountains. Looking from the mouth of the canyon, you can only see a forest of giant trees, but you cannot see the whole picture. The Eastern Army will notice it and there is something wrong!
"Report! The Eastern Army has set foot in Death Valley!"
"Hey!" Han Chang chuckled, licked his lips, and murmured, "It's time to go hunting for tigers" After saying that, he straightened his face and shouted in a deep voice, "Let's go!"
¡°It¡¯s an order!¡±
Everything seems to be going smoothly for Xixiang Hou Hansheng. Unknowingly, the Eastern Army had entered the dead canyon. Entering a desperate situation, all that's left is for Han Ju to lead the soldiers of the Western Army to block the way back, and then
hey-hey!
Han Yu couldn¡¯t wait to see what the Eastern Army¡¯s faces would look like when they saw countless unmanned hand crossbows ¡°floating¡± in the sky and aiming at them.
Is it horror? Is it fear?
"interesting!"
An hour later, it was as if Xixiang Hou Han Yu and the Western Army were hanging behind the Eastern Army without anyone noticing. When they were driving the Eastern Army to Death Valley while carrying out sneak attacks and harassment, some people in the Eastern Army had actually noticed something unusual on the road ahead.
"Report! The road ahead is blocked, this canyon is Death Valley!"
The soldiers of the Eastern Army who served as scouts immediately noticed the anomaly ahead and hurriedly came back to report. However, Liu Qing had a nonchalant look on her face and said lightly, "Don't pay any attention to it. Keep moving forward!"
This general order greatly puzzled the Eastern Army soldiers, but seeing that Liang Qiuwu trusted Liu Qing, they could only bite the bullet and continue on their way.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, the Eastern Army arrived at the end of Death Valley.
"Xiao Qing" Liang Qiuwu looked at Liu Qing with questioning eyes. She was sure that Liu Qing must have some strategy in mind that could turn defeat into victory. But unfortunately, with her wisdom, she probably couldn't have guessed it.
In fact, not only Liangqiu Wu, but also generals such as Liao Li, Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, Luo Chao, and Cheng Yang could not understand it thoroughly.
And at this moment, Liu Qing was heard speaking calmly. "The whole army turns around, the front army becomes the rear army. The rear army becomes the front army, prepare to fight!"
"Fighting? In a place like this?" Xiang Qing muttered with a strange expression, "With your back against a cliff, why do you have to fight with your back against the water?"
"Isn't it good?" Liu Qing seemed to have heard Xiang Qing's muttering, and said with a chuckle, "Under the current environment, if our army is still attacked by a sneak attack, then the enemy army may only be in front of our army! "
"Eh?" Xiang Qing was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized. The look he looked at Liu Qing changed from disapproval to exclamation, and he said in surprise, "Could it be that Military Master Liu deliberately let our army come here for this purpose?" ?¡±
"Me?" Liu Qing shook her head slightly when she heard this, and said calmly, "It was not me who took the initiative, but the Western Army drove me to wait until this point. My military advisor just followed the plan!"
"Are you following the plan?" Xiang Qing was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask when suddenly countless silver-white figures vaguely appeared in the distance ahead.
[The Western Army is coming? ! ]
The soldiers of the Eastern Army tensed up their nerves. They were terrified but helpless as they watched the countless silver-white figures disappear one by one.
[Where? Where? ]
Many Dongjun soldiers looked around nervously. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were all soldiers at the moment. It's no wonder, after all, in their hearts, the Western Army is almost equated with ghosts seeking lives.
Seeing this, Liu Qing shouted in a deep voice, "Don't look around, the Western Army is just a living person. In such a narrow terrain, they can only appear in front of you!" As she said this, she leaned over to face the people beside her. Xiang Qing said a few words.
Xiang Qing had a strange expression after listening to Liu Qing's instructions, and pulled Luo Chao to the rear of the army.
At this time, just as LiuAs Qing expected, Xixiang Hou Han Yu and his soldiers of the Western Army had slowly approached the Eastern Army, but they were only a stone's throw away.
But what puzzled Han Yu was that although the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army on the opposite side were panicked one by one, they treated them sternly, as if there was some conspiracy.
But after thinking about it, Han Yu didn't take it seriously anymore, because in his opinion, the Eastern Army couldn't see them anyway, so what could they do?
He neglected that although the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army could not see them, there were two in the Eastern Army who had intuition that was difficult to match in the world. The sense of crisis honed on the battlefield was sometimes far more powerful than the others. Binoculars are even easier to use.
No, there was clearly no one in the distance ahead, but Liang Qiu Wu instinctively grasped the sword and wielded it, while Liao Li also took the spear from the attendant and looked ahead nervously.
"What's wrong?" Liu Qing asked Liao Lidao knowingly.
"Something's not right" Liao Li's eyes narrowed slightly, sweat broke out on his forehead nervously, and he swallowed his saliva and whispered, "The general feels that there is murderous intent ahead, but"
"But you can't see anyone, right?" Liu Qing asked with a smile.
Liao Li looked at Liu Qing in surprise and nodded in confusion.
"Then let's give it a try!" Liu Qing smiled slightly, snapped her fingers, and said calmly, "The front army spreads out to both sides, and the crossbow team comes forward!"
Yan Kai was stunned when he heard this. He didn't understand Liu Qing's purpose of issuing this general order, but this did not prevent him from acting according to the order. After all, Liang Qiuwu had spoken first, and the Eastern Army was temporarily under Liu Qing's control.
Seeing the Eastern Army mobilize the crossbow team, the Marquis of Xixiang Han Yu was stunned.
what happened? Could it be that the Eastern Army has discovered traces of our army? How can it be! Obviously there is still a shot, but at this distance, they should not be able to see our army
¡°Hmm, maybe it¡¯s just a bluff!
"After all, the Eastern Army can't see our army, so it's impossible for them to fire arrows randomly!"
However, just as he was thinking, the Eastern Army unexpectedly shot a wave of arrows.
Suddenly, under the horrified and disbelieving look of Xixiang Hou Hanju, there was a strange clicking sound from the Western Army under his command.
Turning his head to look, Han Chang felt a chill running down his back because he discovered that the soldiers under his command who had been sneaking around in the first wave of arrows fired by the Eastern Army actually had part of their armor. Shot to pieces.
what does that mean? This meant that they, who had lost their complete mirror armor, were completely exposed to the Eastern Army's cavalry.
"Hiss"
When the soldiers and generals of the Eastern Army let out a burst of frightened and inexplicable gasps, they could not figure out that in the place where there was no one just now, after a wave of arrows, countless figures appeared out of thin air.
At this moment, Liu Qing gave the order for the cavalry to charge.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao each led a cavalry group and rushed out from the rear
Seeing that the formation of the Western soldiers was in chaos due to the loss of their complete armor, Liu Qing's eyes showed a bit of ridicule.
"Sure enough, it's just like that tinfoil mirror. It seems incredible, but it's actually fragile It's the same with some things in this world. They seem mysterious at first, but once they are broken, they become worthless! The tinfoil mirror is like this, the Western Army Same thing! - Kill it! The whole army attacks!"
