Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

We cannot send troops.

However, he was unwilling to remain idle in the military camp.

These three pontoon bridges were built.

As soon as Yelü Yanxi arrives...

The army could then cross the river quickly.

To expand into new territories.

Because Xiongzhou surrendered to Liao,

When Yelü Dashi built these three pontoon bridges,

However, there were no casualties.

However, one of the Han Chinese craftsmen accidentally fell into the water and was swept away.

In Yelü Dashi's view, this was negligible.

They only had Yuanlanzi search along the river for a short distance.

appease the craftsmen,

Of course, Yuanlanzi should be asked to find a Han Chinese craftsman.

They'll definitely go home empty-handed.

...

When Zhao Yuan and his two companions arrived at the riverbank,

Then they saw several Liao generals standing on the pontoon bridge.

Leading the group was none other than Yelü Dashi, an old acquaintance.

It turns out that Yelü Dashi heard Yuan Lanzi say that three Liang generals came from Xiong Prefecture.

Two of them were skilled archers.

More than a dozen ranged soldiers have already been shot down.

Heading towards the pontoon bridge.

Although Yelü Dashi was unable to mobilize a large army,

However, it is still possible to mobilize a small team to protect the pontoon bridge.

But they were also afraid of dampening the morale of the army.

He then brought with him two skilled archers from the Liao camp, Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan, to intercept the three.

To prevent the three people from damaging the pontoon bridge.

Yelü Dashi saw that Zhao Yuan had personally come to inspect the terrain.

He was also taken aback, then spurred his horse across the river, clasped his hands in greeting, and said...

"King Zhao Yuan of Liang, how have you been?"

Zhao Yuan clasped his hands in greeting and said, "How have you been?"

"Previously, Lin Ya Da Shi and I agreed that he would sell warhorses to me in Daliang,"

"I haven't shortchanged you on any money,"

"Why was the agreement suddenly terminated?"

The deal with Liangshan

Yelü Dashi had already reported this to Yelü Chun, the Southern King.

But they weren't afraid of being overheard by the generals behind them.

Hearing this, he smiled.

"I must ask for your understanding, Little Tyrant,"

"You also know that there is constant fighting on our northern front,"

"The army has suffered heavy losses of horses recently,"

Therefore, I can no longer sell horses to you.

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Let's not beat around the bush."

"I'm afraid you're being kept alive so you can invade my Central Plains from the south."

Yelü Dashi laughed and said, "Little Overlord, you speak your mind quickly."

"However, the idea of ​​an invasion is out of the question,"

"Our Liao army has not crossed the border even once."

Zhao Yuan raised his riding whip,

Pointing to the three pontoon bridges behind,

"Then you must gather your troops and build a pontoon bridge,"

"It's not just for fun, is it?"

"And the surrounding barriers,"

"Could it be that grass doesn't grow in the Liao Kingdom today?"

"You've come to graze your horses in my Central Plains?"

Yelü Dashi said righteously and eloquently,

"Little Tyrant, that's not right,"

"The prefect of Xiongzhou has already surrendered to our Liao Kingdom,"

"The land beneath your horses is also the land of my Great Liao."

"We'll build a pontoon bridge in the country,"

"To facilitate travel for the people,"

"The Yuanlanzi also operate within the territory of our Liao Kingdom."

"On the contrary, it was your Liang Kingdom that launched a war without declaring war,"

"They launched a surprise attack on Xiongzhou, the capital of our Liao Dynasty."

"This matter is unlikely to end well,"

"I suppose the Great Liang is prepared to bear the wrath of the Great Liao."

Chapter 1776 Unjustified Actions

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Lin Ya Da Shi is indeed well-versed in Han Chinese culture."

"They're clearly trying to take advantage of the situation."

"Are you afraid of not having a legitimate reason to fight?"

"Why waste so much brainpower?"

"If I don't take Xiongzhou,"

"Will you once again use the alliance with the Song Dynasty as an excuse?"

"Send troops to help our allies quell the rebellion?"

Yelü Dashi's true colors were exposed by Zhao Yuan.

A little embarrassed, he laughed.

"If we wanted to fight, we would have already sent troops."

"How can we make you prepare before we attack?"

Zhao Yuan shook his head and said, "I originally thought you were also a hero of the Liao Kingdom."

"He doesn't want to, but he's also someone who dares to do things but not to take responsibility."

"Enough of the small talk, since your Liao Kingdom is already preparing to invade,"

"Then we are enemies. See you on the battlefield another day."

Later, Kou Zhenyuan saw that Zhao Yuan dared to be disrespectful to Yelü Dashi.

He then spurred his horse forward and called out,

"You audacious bandit, you previously shot and killed my Yuanlanzi!"

"Now you're being disrespectful to Lin Ya Da Shi again, take this arrow!"

As he spoke, he picked up his bow and arrows.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhao Yuan.

To everyone, the arrow appeared as fast as a shooting star.

Only the shadow of the arrow could be seen.

But it was perfectly clear to Zhao Yuan.

"Sculpture Skills"

Zhao Yuan said dismissively,

Pick up the Overlord Bow,

He casually deflected the incoming arrow off his horse.

Then he took out an iron arrow, drew the bowstring, and strung it.

"You'll take my arrow too."

General Kou saw that Zhao Yuan was using iron arrows.

They were also quite astonished.

The Khitan people were originally a nomadic people on horseback.

There are naturally many people who are strong in the arms and good at shooting.

But no one used iron arrows.

Because if it's made entirely of cast iron...

The center of gravity will then shift backward.

Accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

The only solution is to make the arrowheads larger.

But in this way,

The arrow would then be much heavier.

Even a powerful bow cannot shoot very far.

Therefore, no one uses it.

General Kou looked at the enormous arrowhead on the Overlord Bow.

It was also somewhat frightening.

If you get hit, you'll get a fist-sized hole in your skin.

If shot in the chest or abdomen, death is certain.

General Kou was still in shock,

Zhao Yuan's arrow had already been fired.

The sound of the bowstring snapping and the iron arrow tearing through space had just been heard when...

A streak of dark light flashed by.

Kou Zhenyuan heard the bowstring twang.
