When a ray of sunrise in the sky just popped up on the other side of the mountain, Du Qingyuan finally arrived at Taohuagou.

Looking up, some Dali people were lying at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the terrible corpses, Du Qingyuan couldn't help frowning. Just as he was about to go down the mountain, a team of fully armed people walked over from the entrance of the Taohuagou.

The front army of this team is mainly infantry holding shields, followed by spearmen, and behind the spearmen, the center of the team is a uniform rider. The center of the rider is their head coach Gao Wenfeng, who is the son and nephew trained by Gao's family. This person has square face and twisted beards, a tiger's back and bear waist, and a strong and powerful big golden sword, which is quite like a famous general.

Gao Wenfeng has made a lot of contributions to the Gao family over the years and has rarely lost results. This group of elite soldiers is a good player he has chosen from a hundred miles away. His team is even equipped with two bed crossbows that can shoot guns and arrows that can shoot far away.

The bed crossbow mainly consists of the main bow, the front bow (along the main bow is spaced apart in parallel) and the back bow (placed in the opposite direction to the main bow). The super elastic bow string made of cow tendon tied to the ends of the three bows is pulled onto the trigger machine by using a traction rope. Although the bed crossbow has great power, if you want to pull these three bows, at least more than ten people need to be arranged at both ends of the hinge shaft.

The crossbow is not equipped with a mountain (telescope) on the bed. Most of the time, it depends on the personal experience of the shooter. Because the crossbow bed is relatively bulky, it is used to defend the city in most cases.

On the eve of the Liao Wei and the Emperor of the Emperor, Xiao Dalin, the son-in-law of the Liao Kingdom, the military genius who was as famous as Yelu Xiezhen in the Liao army, was famous for his bravery. He was the king of the Southern Court at that time and led his vanguard camp to Chanzhou in central Hebei, and his troops were aimed directly at Kaifeng.

Xiao Dalin was deeply afraid that the morale of the guards would rise, so he immediately led thousands of cavalry to rush to the city, hoping to take the initiative and take down the North City.

While organizing a fierce attack, he immediately observed the weaknesses of the guards on the high slope. The morale of the guards was like rainbows and arrows were like rain. The Liao army gradually scattered, and continued to send orders to attack fiercely, and commanded the three-sided siege form, gradually taking the initiative. However, in this way, the horses around him flew around him, revealing his command position.

Xiao Dalin did not expect that Wei Chao released a large killer crossbow. He thought that his command was outside the range of the bow and arrow, and there were shield soldiers on the side facing the guards, and he thought it was very safe. As a result, dozens of crossbows of the guards were fired at once, and Xiao Dalin, who was on the high slope, became the target of concentrated shooting. The first arrow hit the war horse that Tailang was directly hit. He then got an arrow in the ribs and threw the arrow to the ground. In a blink of an eye, another arrow penetrated through one side of his eyes and could not hold back and fell to the ground. He died in the camp that night, and was hit by six arrows when he died.

Xiao Dalin's death greatly reduced the spirit of the Liao army. Empress Dowager Xiao (Xiao Chuo) judged the situation, and Han Derang's persuasion and weighed the pros and cons, decided to negotiate peace in front of the battlefield. Only then did the "Tanyuan Alliance" of Wei Liao, which had been without weapons for more than 100 years.

This war that the two sides fought for 25 years was eventually defeated by the Wei Dynasty, but ended with the Wei Dynasty giving Liao silk 200,000 pieces and silver 100,000 taels of silver every year. In recent years, it was criticized by the scholars and officials of the Wei Dynasty, believing that this move was powerless and humiliating the country. In fact, the mutual trading scenes, trade and cultural exchanges were set up on the Wei Liao border, and even played an important role in assimilating the Khitan tribe. Compared with the military operations such as threshing grass that appeared on the border during the harvest season, it was impossible to shake the overall pattern of Wei Liao. The "Tanyuan Alliance" generally has more benefits than disadvantages to the Wei Dynasty.

The reason why Gao Wenfeng brought all the so-called "cannons" this time was because the spy who mixed into Taohua Town gave a reward. A demon named Wu Yonglin appeared there, who could actually divine the future and ignite the thunder and earth. Just in case, this made people bring two precious bed crossbows over.

The two bed crossbows were obtained from the Methodist border line for a lot of money. Not long ago, they used long crossbow arrows with iron balls at the front to break through a long bridge that could not be captured for a long time, reducing their further casualties. Because of the importance of the bed crossbows, Gao Wenfeng took more care of them. The two bed crossbows placed on the carriage and himself were in the defense of his personal guards at the same time. Tsomu had no chance to get close to these two "cannons" these days.

Cuomli had reported everything in front of him to Gao Wenfeng truthfully. In order to prevent fraud on the way, Gao Wenfeng slowed down the march and marched a certain distance between the front, middle and rear troops of more than 2,000 people. When Gao Wenfeng arrived at Taohuagou, it was nearly one day later than the scheduled time.

Looking at the ferocious and twisted eyes on the ground, and the tragic death of his personal soldiers who were still alive a few days ago, Gao Wenfeng was so angry that he jumped off his horse. If the front army hadn't blocked him, he would have rushed forward long ago.

Du Qingyuan always felt that everything around him was very strange. He digged out caves that could just accommodate a person hiding inside like a groundhog on all sides of the slope. Looking at the new soil piled next to the cave, Du Qingyuan felt that these caves had just been dug in the past two days.

He looked around for a while, but there was no one around. Could it be that some people were looking here to dig some holes? Even if Du Qingyuan was beaten to death, he would not believe that those people would be so bored.

After Du Qingyuan surrendered to Gao Taiyuan, he was arranged by Gao Taiyuan to the Gao army system. One was to test his loyalty in surrender, and the other was that he could not make any big fuss under the supervision of the military system. However, Gao Wenfeng, a rookie in the military, looked down on people like Du Qingyuan from the bottom of his bones, and believed that they could only show off their courage. Even when Gao Taiyuan was patrolling the camp several times, those tricks were useless in front of everyone. When the two armies fought, even those who were extremely skilled in martial arts would be stepped into meat paste and shot into hornet's nests.

After all, Gao Wenfeng was from the Gao family. Gao Taiyuan could not have been guilty of Gao Wenfeng for an outsider like Du Qingyuan. In the end, Gao Wenfeng became more and more arrogant. Du Qingyuan, who was excluded in the army, stayed in a depressed period of investigation. Later, Gao Taiyuan was brought to him by him to be a disciple similar to that of the Qin Dynasty.

Gao Taiyuan later sent him to assassinate some difficult characters alone. Du Qingyuan did not let Gao Xiang down and completed the assassination beautifully every time. In this way, Du Qingyuan became the number one assassin beside Gao Taiyuan.

Gao Taiyuan was afraid that the group of hiring assassins who assassinated Li Zicong would fail, so he sent Du Qingyuan out as a secret line. However, after Du Qingyuan left Gao Taiyuan, he had some other thoughts in his heart.

Du Qingyuan hid in a big hole dug out by a "groundhog" and lay on the soil and watched his every move in the distance. However, he tried hard to touch some hard objects buried in the soil. He also began to dig out the soil like a "groundhog".
