When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

Chapter 336: Shooting the Halberd at the Gate

After this thrilling battle, the isolated Bashu region once again returned to the solid and powerful control of the Eastern Han court.

Although Zhang Lu still served as the prefect of Hanning County, all his military power had been stripped away, and the many brave and capable soldiers under his command had also been dispersed and could no longer make any waves.

At this point, the situation here has stabilized.

We can capture this place without spending a single soldier.

Zhu Di was not satisfied.

His eyes had already been cast into the distance, and he was always thinking about other places that had not yet been pacified.

He could not wait to say to Zhu Ming beside him: "Xiao Zhu, we have to speed up to the next destination! You know, in this turbulent era, there are many talented people and heroes. I have always been thinking about the day when I can compete with these heroes and meet them properly."

Zhu Ming smiled slightly upon hearing this and responded softly: "Haha, let alone you, I am also full of curiosity about those legendary characters. I used to like playing Three Kingdoms Killing and have always wanted to meet the real person."

An empty space in the city.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood quietly in military posture.

Waiting to leave.

Zhu Ming waved his arms gracefully, and in an instant, a deep, dark, and seemingly endless mysterious passage appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

Zhang Lu was shocked when he saw it for the first time. He stared at this strange passage with his mouth wide open, muttering to himself in disbelief: "What...what on earth is this? Could it be the dark road leading to the underworld?"

Facing Zhang Lu's horrified questioning, Zhang Xutuo on the side laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, Old Zhang, you don't know, this is the unique magical power of the Potato King!
With this magical channel, we can not only travel freely between places, but even travel through time and space to other dynasties.

For example, if one day you suddenly want to travel to the Qin Dynasty, which you are familiar with, and witness the famous historical scene of "pointing to a deer and calling it a horse", as long as you ask, King Potato will take you there to broaden your horizons."

After hearing what Zhang Xutuo said, Zhang Lu showed a suspicious look on his face. He obviously did not believe what he said. He pouted and muttered, "Is this true? It's outrageous enough that he can go anywhere at will, and he can also go to the Qin Dynasty. It's outrageous. His mother opened the door to outrageousness--outrageous to the extreme."

Zhang Xutuo raised his lips slightly, revealing a mysterious smile, and said with a chuckle: "Of course it is true. Otherwise, how do you think we would suddenly appear several miles outside the city like a divine army descended from the sky? You don't think that your men betrayed you, do you?"

When Zhang Lu heard this, his eyes widened and his face was full of astonishment.

Before this, he had never been able to figure out why the coalition forces of all dynasties could appear so suddenly so close to the city.

He secretly speculated that there must be a traitor in his own camp.

Moreover, it was definitely not just one person, it was very likely that multiple traitors colluded with each other and secretly collaborated with the enemy, which was how they were able to successfully conceal the whereabouts of the Wanchao coalition forces.

To this end, he had even drafted a detailed list of traitors in his mind.

However, at this moment, after hearing what Zhang Xutuo said, Zhang Lu suddenly realized that it was all just that he was overthinking.

Doesn't possessing such mysterious means mean that you can go anywhere you want?
If this is used in marching and fighting, it will surely be able to come and go without a trace, making it impossible to defend against.

Imagine that when tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of troops that have been ready for battle suddenly appear in front of the enemy without any warning, even if the enemy has many generals and strong soldiers and horses, they will probably be beaten to a pulp.

Moreover, such a march does not require huge logistical support.

Eat well and drink enough in the morning, then go fight a tough battle thousands of miles away.

At noon, I was tired and returned to the base camp to eat and take a nap, then went back to fight in the afternoon.

If we rely on normal marches to go back and forth, it will not only take a lot of time, but also require huge logistics to transport food.

Watching Zhu Ming and his tens of thousands of troops gradually disappear from sight, Zhang Lu could not help but feel overwhelmed. He thought to himself: From now on, I must honestly follow the orders of the Han court and never act arbitrarily and self-reliantly as I did before.

Zhang Lu was amazed that the Han Dynasty court could get such powerful support!

Let us ask ourselves, who in the world today can fight against the coalition forces of all dynasties?

Even if all the heroes united, Zhang Lu believed they had no chance of winning.

Before leaving, Zhu Di deliberately left a full 30,000 troops to garrison here.

These troops are not only for guarding this land, but also responsible for supervising Zhang Lu.

Zhang Xutuo stepped forward, patted Zhang Lu's shoulder gently, and said loudly: "Okay, Lao Zhang, let's not delay any longer, let's act quickly!"

Zhang Lu heard this and quickly responded, "General, don't worry. I know what to do. To be honest, I have long hated those big families who abuse their power and those greedy landlords. I have long wanted to catch them all and give them a good beating."

Thousands of miles away, in a deep and dense jungle.

Zhu Ming led tens of thousands of troops and appeared like a god descending from the sky.

The huge team instantly broke the originally quiet and deserted atmosphere, making the entire dense forest become lively and bustling.

Zhang Ergou, who had been running around exploring the area and treating this dense forest as an important teleportation point, finally found the large group he belonged to.

He was extremely excited and ran all the way to Zhu Ming.

Seeing Zhang Ergou rushing over, Zhu Ming hurriedly asked, "Ergou, can you tell me what the situation is like here?"

Zhang Ergou took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and quickly replied: "Reporting to King Potato, according to my investigation, at about one o'clock ahead, Yuan Shu sent his general Ji Ling to lead a large force to besiege Liu Bei. Right now, Lu Bu is leading his troops to rescue him!"

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment: "I know that the three of them were separated, but why would Lu Bu save Liu Bei? It seems that the relationship between them is not very good."

Zhu Di next to him frowned slightly and fell into deep thought, time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something important, and he shouted loudly with a look of surprise: "Shoot the Halberd at the Gate!"

Zhu Ming, who was standing nearby, was also surprised when he heard these four words, and asked hurriedly, "Gate shooting halberd? Are you saying that the place we are standing in front of us is the place where the gate shooting halberd happened in history?"

Zhu Di nodded heavily to show his affirmation, and explained: "As far as I know, this is roughly how the battle went.
At that time, Yuan Shu sent his general Ji Ling to lead more than 30,000 infantry and cavalry to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei was outnumbered and had no choice but to ask Lu Bu for help.

At that time, Lu Bu actually already had the intention of getting rid of Liu Bei in his heart, but he had to weigh the pros and cons.

His generals advised him to take this opportunity to get rid of Liu Bei with the help of Yuan Shu. However, after careful consideration, Lu Bu thought that if he did nothing about Liu Bei and let Yuan Shu occupy Xiaopei, Yuan Shu would be able to cooperate with the troops in the Yueshou Mountain area in the north, and he would be surrounded by the enemy.

Therefore, Lu Bu made a prompt decision and led a thousand infantrymen and two hundred cavalrymen to Xiaopei to reinforce Liu Bei.

Lü Bu's reputation spread far and wide. When Ji Ling and others heard that Lü Bu was personally leading his army to rescue Liu Bei, they could not help but feel timid and temporarily withdrew their troops, not daring to act rashly.

Lu Bu set up camp one mile southwest of Xiaopei and sent guards to invite Ji Ling and other generals. Ji Ling and others also invited Lu Bu to drink with them.

Lü Bu said to Ji Ling and the others, "Xuan De is my good brother. He is surrounded by you and I have come to save him. I, Lü Bu, do not like to see others fighting. I only like to help others resolve disputes."

Lu Bu ordered the guards at the camp gate to hold up a halberd and said, "Everyone, watch me shoot the small branch on the halberd. If I hit it, you should immediately stop attacking and leave here. If I miss, you will stay and fight Liu Bei to the death." He drew his bow and shot an arrow at the halberd, hitting the small branch.

The next day, Lu Bu had a banquet with his generals, and then they all returned.

Zhu Ming had browsed relevant information on the Internet before and was deeply shocked by the legendary shooting of the halberd at the gate.

According to historical records, the distance for shooting the halberd at the gate was as long as 150 steps.

During the late Eastern Han Dynasty, people measured distance differently. One step was called a "跬", and two steps were called a "步".

Normally, half a step for an adult man is about 75 centimeters. So, one step is at least 1 meters long. So 5 steps is a total of 150 meters!
Even if we make a slightly conservative estimate, let's count it as 200 meters.

According to the long halberds unearthed from the Eastern Han Dynasty in later generations and the in-depth research and speculation of experts, it can be learned that the halberds used at that time had a handle of about 18 cm for the longer ones and about 12 cm for the shorter ones.

In other words, when Lu Bu shot the halberd at the gate, the target he aimed at and hit was exactly this tiny one.

At a distance of more than 200 meters, for ordinary people, it is difficult to even see the halberd branch, let alone hit the target.

Even if everyone has extraordinary vision like clairvoyance and can see clearly at such a far distance, it is still an extremely difficult challenge to accurately shoot more than 200 meters away with an ordinary bow and arrow.

At that time, Zhu Ming saw the data analyzed online.

I feel that this is simply beyond human ability.

If this ability were placed on the battlefield at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it would be like a modern sniper traveling to an ancient battlefield with a gun.

Not to mention a fierce general like Ji Ling, even if anyone saw him, they would probably feel a tingling sensation on their scalp.

Anyone who is dissatisfied with such strength can quietly shoot an arrow at the opponent from two hundred meters away.

Zhu Ming could not help but turn to Zhu Di and ask, "Among the allied forces of the Ten Thousand Dynasties, is there anyone who possesses such amazing skills?"

Zhu Di frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he slowly shook his head and replied helplessly, "As for the skill of shooting an arrow through an arrow from a hundred paces away, there are some people in the army who can master it, but to achieve the legendary skill of shooting a halberd through the gate, I'm afraid it's hard to achieve.

After all, those soldiers whose archery skills were good enough to reach the standard often could not shoot so far;

However, those who are able to shoot at such a long distance do not have archery skills that high.

but……"

At this point, Zhu Di changed the subject, a confident smile appeared on his face, and he continued: "In terms of the ability to use firearms, there are many people in our army who can do it.

Not to mention a distance of 150 steps, even 500 steps would be a piece of cake for the top snipers in the army.

Take Hongwu Li Jinglong for example, he could hit a target 500 steps away with one shot."

Zhu Ming stroked his chin and muttered to himself thoughtfully, "Hmm...should I practice archery? As long as the bow and arrow can withstand it, a distance of 500 steps is a piece of cake for me! My eyesight is quite amazing now. Even if I am meters away, I can see everything clearly. After I have practiced archery well in the future, if I am lucky enough to meet a new emperor in the future, when we go to help pacify the world or attack foreign races, then I will be able to show off my skills and show off to my heart's content!"

Zhu Di on the side suddenly said: "Xiao Zhu, in my opinion, you might as well practice the skill of throwing spears.

With the inhuman strength you currently possess, throwing a spear several hundred meters away is absolutely a piece of cake.

When the time comes to actually go into battle to kill the enemy, you just need to stand hundreds of meters away, aim at the enemy camp and throw hard. The deterrent effect is much stronger than archery.

If you act cool, the effect will definitely be even better!"

If you want to master archery to the highest level, you must have a certain level of talent.

Zhu Di thought of Zhu Ming's archery skills and felt that shooting at the wall at the gate was fine, but shooting at the halberd at the gate was not.

In comparison, throwing spears are not only more practical, but also far more powerful than bows and arrows, and their speed is also faster.

After understanding the current situation.

Zhu Di led his men out of the dense forest.

Move towards the location of the three forces.

Several miles away.

The domineering Lu Bu came between Ji Ling and Liu Bei.

Convincing the two.

Lu Bu said loudly: Liu Bei is my brother, so I came to save him. I don’t like fighting, but I like to help people resolve disputes.

Let me put it this way, you see me shoot my arrow at the small branch on the halberd.

I am one hundred and fifty steps away. If I hit you with one shot, you will retreat. If you miss, you can stay and fight.

What do you guys think?
Ji Ling looked at the almost invisible halberd and didn't think that Lu Bu could do it.

It just so happened that Ji Ling didn't want to have a conflict with Lu Bu at this moment, so he could give Lu Bu some face and nodded in agreement.

Liu Bei also didn't think Lu Bu could do it, but even if he couldn't, it didn't matter: "I agree!" (End of this chapter)
