Chapter 134: Great Victory
What Lu Sen built was actually a "simple light energy accumulator". The system's built-in agricultural equipment was mainly used to solve the lighting needs of agricultural planting near the polar regions.
It is a fairly basic item in the game.
It can be made with just glass, mercury (silver) and some common gemstones.
Its principle is to store energy by absorbing sunlight, converting it into electric current and storing it in a "battery". When needed, the electric current is converted back into light to cover a large area with light.
There are three lighting levels: strong, medium and low, and three modes: scattered, beamed and focused.
This thing is not widely used in the game because not many people go to the polar regions to plant it.
Of course, it is also a good choice for use as a lighthouse.
Theoretically, since this thing is used for agricultural purposes, its lethality is very weak.
But it cannot withstand more than two energy storage devices shining on the same place.
There is a reminder in the game that even in the scattering mode, in the 'strong' mode of three energy accumulators, if you irradiate the same area, the crops will lose moisture within ten hours and turn into dry firewood.
And now, there are as many as ten energy storage devices illuminating the front line of the Western Xia army.
For the irradiated area, not to mention the temperature or anything like that, the intensity of the light alone is enough to make it impossible for anyone exposed to the light to open their eyes.
There was light all around, as if the sun was everywhere in front, behind, left and right.
My eyes were extremely stinging, and even with my eyes closed, everything in front of me was white.
All the Xixia soldiers in the illuminated area were howling wildly, frightened to death by this sudden attack.
"I can't see anymore."
"Light, why is it all light?"
"My eyes hurt so much, someone please help me."
These Xixia soldiers who were trapped in the light area ran and howled madly. Because they could not see the situation around them, they were like headless flies, flying around in circles. Then they were bumped into or hit by people. Unable to see and in fear, they swung their swords and slashed everywhere.
Some fell, some were trampled, some went crazy.
The covered area was not too large, only about five acres, but the people here collapsed in just a dozen seconds.
A collapsed 'hole' was formed and spread in all directions.
And this only happened within fifteen seconds. Fifteen seconds later, those who were still in the irradiated area and had not escaped, no matter how strong they were, began rolling on the spot, howling desperately, and even began to take off their armor and clothes.
The reason is simple, it's too hot.
This type of energy storage device itself simulates sunlight. One or two of them shining at the same time can make people feel hot all over, not to mention more than a dozen of them shining on an area at the same time.
At some point, the battlefield had become cloudy, and as the sky darkened, the ten beams of light became more and more obvious.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the illuminated area, whether it was the Western Xia army or the Song people.
They looked at the Xixia people in the area, who rolled violently and emitted mist over the next twenty seconds or so, but soon there was no sound and they became motionless corpses.
Moreover, the corpse was gradually shrinking and making a sizzling sound. A large amount of human oil was squeezed out and flowed onto the ground.
After a few seconds, the human oil gathered on the ground to form small "beaches", which were then steamed and baked by the high temperature. Finally, the flammable cloth of a corpse caught fire first. With the help of the human oil all over the ground, the flames quickly turned into a big fire, and in just a dozen seconds, spread to the entire illuminated area.
At this moment, the lights of all the energy storage devices stopped, and the entire battlefield fell silent.
Just look at the place where the flames are burning.
The well curb that was illuminated by the cross also went out.
The momentum of both sides quickly reversed. All the soldiers on the Song army side were howling, raising their weapons high and roaring wildly.
On the Western Xia side, morale dropped sharply, and almost all the soldiers focused their eyes on the high "well fence" behind the Song army, filled with fear.
Many people have already thought about escaping.
In this era, anything that can emit strong light and hurt people is considered a magical object.
Besides, Master Lu Sen's fame is also well known among the Western Xia army.
The Xixia supervisory team fought desperately in the rear to kill those Xixia soldiers who were ready to make a move, and only then was they able to barely stabilize their morale and formation.
They still fought the Song army according to the original plan.
The two sides fought fiercely. Di Qing wore a mask and led a cavalry team to kill people in the enemy camp, madly harvesting the lives of enemy soldiers.
However, the Western Xia army sent too many people to the left wing. Even though the Song army had an advantage in morale at this time, the two sides were still in a stalemate, and neither side could do anything to the other in a short period of time.
Meanwhile, Mu Guiying looked at the misfiring accumulator and asked, "General Lu, why did you stop shining the strong light?"
"The energy is gone." Lu Sen spread his hands: "We need to recharge it."
This is normal. How long has the accumulator been made? In this half day, it is already amazing that the strong light diffusion mode can be turned on for more than a minute.
Because the conversion rate of light energy is actually not high.
Mu Guiying said softly, "But the Xixia people don't know. Take this opportunity to send out the central cavalry, led by Yang Jinhua, to scare away the enemy's iron kites. Then send a message with the flag, and Marshal Zhe on the right wing will lead his troops to attack the enemy camp directly. When the enemy approaches, they can decide whether to use Master Lu's magic item."
Soon, the flag order was passed to Zhe Jizu's right wing, and Yang Jinhua led the cavalry straight to the Iron Harriers in the middle.
The Iron Harriers were the heavy cavalry of Western Xia and also a "special type of soldier". Under normal circumstances, the cavalry of the Song Army would not dare to confront the Iron Harriers, but the problem was that the morale of the Song Army was skyrocketing, and the Western Xia Army had long been frightened by the dozen or so well fences.
In order to cooperate with Yang Jinhua's "cavalry charge", Mu Guiying even turned the six fences of the central army to face the direction of the Iron Harriers.
This coordinated move frightened the Iron Harrier Cavalry, who immediately turned their horses around and ran backwards.
Mo Zang Su'er, who was on the top of the hill, saw that her right wing army was blocked by Di Qing, the Iron Harrier cavalry on the middle wing was retreating, and the left wing was empty, and Zhe Jizu's troops pounced again.
"Send the order, retreat fifty miles."
Mei Zang Su'er roared angrily, then he looked hatefully at the "well curb" in the middle of the Song army, turned around, climbed onto the horse led by the guards, and retreated first.
Afterwards, the Xixia army abandoned some of its soldiers, "cut off the tail" to save its own lives, and retreated fifty miles to a Shaling Pass.
This place is not considered a dangerous pass, but at least it has the terrain advantage when defending.
After they gained a foothold here, the Song army also chased after them.
However, the Song army did not continue the pursuit, but instead set up pots and pots to cook on the spot five miles away, set up barricades and took other measures.
Even...the dozen or so well curbs were slowly transported over.
It was already evening, and the setting sun was shining brightly over the Gobi Desert.
Mei Zang Su'er no longer had the high spirits she had in the morning, only anger and helplessness.
In the previous battle, the Western Xia army lost about 40,000 people.
"We've been fooled." Mei Zang Su'er said angrily, "The reason why those light beams stopped before was definitely because Master Lu had run out of 'spiritual energy'. He had to activate more than a dozen of these Great Sun Immortal Arts at the same time, which must have caused a lot of losses. If we had fought harder at that time, we might have been able to win the battle."
The Xixia generals nearby were all silent.
They felt that what Mei Zang Su'er said made a lot of sense, but the problem was that everyone was frightened by the light beams at the time and no one would have thought that much.
Besides...these generals have strong character, broad knowledge, can understand the supernatural, and are brave enough to charge forward, but the soldiers cannot do that.
In this world, everyone believes in ghosts and gods. It was already remarkable that ordinary Xixia soldiers did not kneel down and cry and worship on the spot when they saw those light pillars, but were able to fight against the Song army. Don't ask them how strong their hearts and wills were.
"Now, all of you, think about how to prevent Master Lu's magic." When Mei Zang Su'er said this, her face twisted, and she suddenly roared as if to vent her anger: "Why do immortals interfere in human affairs? Heaven is unfair! If it weren't for Master Lu, the Song army would be no different from chickens and dogs. Hateful!"
Compared with the low morale and helplessness of the Western Xia army.
The situation on the Song army's side was completely different.
Not only was morale high, everyone was in high spirits and full of confidence in the war, sweeping away the previous decline.
"As expected, Master Lu's magic is powerful."
"The last time we won a great victory, it was also because of Master Lu's magic that we killed more than 200,000 people in a row."
"So, in the future, whenever there is a war, as long as we invite Master Lu out, we will surely win."
"To put it bluntly, this world belongs to us Song people. The Xixia and Liao people are too powerful for us to defeat, so God sent Master Lu to help us."
"Hey, Lu Jianjun is still the best. We can win with him, unlike that guy inside..."
"Hey, keep your voice down."
Wang Anshi was in the tent, looking gloomy.
He put the book down dejectedly, his cheeks turning red and white, his eyes fixed on the front of the tent, as if he was thinking hard about something, motionless.
A moment later, Zhang Zai walked in.
He sat down cross-legged in front of Wang Anshi and handed him a wine pot: "Oh, our army has won a great victory, drink it."
Wang Anshi regained consciousness. He glanced at the wine pot in Zhang Zai's hand and said, "You can't drink in the army."
"It's not wine, it's honey water." Zhang Zai chuckled and said, "Because of this great victory, Master Lu poured dozens of bottles of King Bee Jelly into our army's water source. Everyone can scoop a spoonful to drink. It can cure diseases and strengthen the body if you are not sick."
Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, but still took it and took two sips.
Zhang Zai chuckled: "Jiefu is really generous. I thought I had to persuade you a little before you would eat and drink."
Wang Anshi snorted and said, "Master Lu and I have no personal grudge, we just have a conflict of ideas. I just can't stand his behavior."
"But no matter what, Master Lu played a huge role in this great victory." Zhang Zai said with great admiration: "Master Lu made great contributions when he was the military supervisor last time, and this time he used magic to change the offensive and defensive situation of the enemy and us. He is a real man."
"Not really." Wang Anshi pretended to be indifferent and said in a nonchalant manner: "Didn't Prime Minister Han say that only those who can name Donghua are good men? Master Lu is not a good man."
Zhang Zai shook his head: "Prime Minister Han, you dare not say this in front of Master Lu. But I guess he will be back to the capital soon."
At this time, Han Qi was still in exile. A few years ago, he killed more than 100,000 soldiers in the war against the Liao Kingdom. In order to protect him, Zhao Zhen sent him to a local official. It has been five years now, and it is estimated that he will be summoned back soon.
Zhang Zai's assertion that Wang Anshi would not be "punished" in the true sense was based on this.
Han Qi is fine... and Wang Anshi will be fine too, with Grand Tutor Pang protecting him.
Thinking of Han Qi, Wang Anshi was stunned for a while, then said: "Zihou, can you help me pass the message to Master Lu? I want to see him, okay?"
Zhang Zai was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Of course."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out quickly.
He admired Wang Anshi's talent and Lu Zhen's temperament, so he didn't want the two of them to be at odds with each other.
Before, when Wang Anshi asked Lu Zhen to meet him, he always seemed to be superior.
But now it was Wang Anshi who took the initiative to lower himself and asked to meet Lu Sen.
Anyone with a little emotional intelligence can understand how bright Wang Anshi's future is. No matter who it is, no one should refuse Wang Anshi's request for a meeting.
This is what thought.
Then he saw Lu Sen and told him this, and his smile froze immediately.
"No." Lu Sen said firmly without any hesitation.
After being stunned for a while, Zhang Zai shouted in surprise: "Why, Master Lu, Jiefu is so talented, and he has great ambitions and righteousness in his heart. If the two of you join hands, you will surely push our Song Dynasty to the peak and achieve the hegemony of the Han and Tang dynasties."
Lu Sen pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, it was a sneer: "How can someone who doesn't treat soldiers as human beings be worthy of the word righteousness?"
"But."
Lu Sen waved his hand and said, "Until Wang Jiefu's real punishment is implemented, I will not go to see him, and I don't want him to come to see me. Zihou, please pass on his message."
Seeing Lu Sen's tough attitude, Zhang Zai had to leave the tent.
He walked into Wang Anshi's tent in a daze and sat down in a daze.
Seeing him like this, Wang Anshi sighed and asked, "It seems that Master Lu doesn't want to see me."
Zhang Zai moved his lips and said, "I feel ashamed to have fulfilled Jiefu's trust."
Wang Anshi waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I expected this to be the case. Zihou, your eyelids are dark. I guess you haven't slept for a long time. Why don't you take a rest?"
Zhang Dai thought about it, then stood up and left, sighing all the way.
After Zhang Zai left, Wang Anshi clenched his fists so tightly that two blue veins popped out on his forehead, but he then calmed himself down and did not become hysterical.
At the same time, he muttered to himself, "Am I really wrong? It is natural for soldiers to defend their country. Burying their bones on the battlefield is a good thing. What is Master Lu angry about?"
