Chapter 73: The army sets out for battle (add a larger chapter for follow-up reading)

Everyone was extremely shocked by Chen Yongying's generous sacrifice.

Hua Gu said in a daze: "I have heard that the more prosperous our ancestors are, the larger the sacrifice materials will be. There is no doubt about this..."

"Then, what is the status of the ancestor in the boss's family? Is he a noble lord from the previous dynasty?" Next to him, the sheepherder asked with a shocked look on his face.

What was burning in front was indeed wood worth more than one million yuan, which made these people feel extremely shocked.

Secretly, naturally, rumors about Chen Yongying's ancestors began to spread in private, and some even thought that Chen Yongying's family was the emperor of the previous dynasty.

【Ding! 】

[Please unlock this option after successfully building the Tiger Crouching Cannon! 】

Chen Yongying sighed. The more than one million pieces of wood would be gone if they were gone. After all, it was necessary to advance in science and technology, and he couldn't bear to let his children trap the wolf.

Yang Heng waved his hand and said: "Quiet!"

"Whoa!" In an instant, the soldiers of the first squadron of line infantry all straightened up and stood on the ground with their flintlock rifles.

The first squad of grenadiers also stood up straight with a serious expression.

The grenadier squad uses knives as equipment, plus 10 grenades on their waists, and they are also armed to the teeth.

After half a month of training, the two teams have achieved considerable results. Now they are arrayed in an extremely solemn manner, which temporarily silenced those who were discussing.

Lezi came over and said respectfully: "Boss..."

"When we left the city, we were only allowed to enter and not leave the agricultural zone. We came out because we were developing camps."

"Linjiangning Agricultural Zone should be closed soon and a state of emergency has been declared."

Lezi now occasionally goes out to buy supplies and visit relatives.

"Well..." Chen Yongying nodded.

It's really been a storm lately. Not only have the guards been transferred, but even the slave merchants have stopped buying goods. He said it might be unsafe on the road, so he closed down. Chen Yongying's recent earnings have also been limited. Enough to make him cool for a while.

However, Chen Yongying was not panicked.

In the past half month, he had stored a total of 50 yuan worth of goods in the camp. As long as the arms were enough to sell, there would be no problem.

The last batch of Huomen guns were also delivered to Old Man Wu who came back.

At that time, Chen Yongying asked Mr. Wu what his superiors’ reaction was after he handed over this thing.

Old Man Wu said angrily: "You have been severely criticized by the people from Beibian Mansion, saying that it is not practical at all, so I can only drag it to the Jiangcheng Pioneer Guild to let you They helped me take care of it over there.”

Chen Yongying: "????"

“Damn, they really don’t know the goods!!”

Old Man Wu sighed: "Most of the pioneers are warriors, and they really look down on such gadgets."

"It's okay, I won't ask you to refund the money."

Chen Yongying: "..."

Does he care about getting his money back?

Well, actually he did care, after all, the one million had been almost spent.

But what he was more concerned about was that the arms trade was not mentioned at all. His blacksmith shop production line came to a complete stop after seven days of production.

"Alas!" Chen Yongying sighed.

In this era, there are no gunpowder weapons like firecrackers, and that's as it should be. These warriors are indeed a little arrogant. They only know how to attack with their bodies, and they don't know whether the new things are good or not!

"Hmph!" Chen Yongying felt angry when he thought about being rejected for the arms trade.

"What's wrong?" Yang Heng was startled.

"It's okay, I have something new." Chen Yongying grinned, and then immediately ran to find Blacksmith Wang and his son.

At this time, the father and son were making tea and drinking, looking very leisurely.

"Sir." Seeing Chen Yongying come in, the two of them immediately stood up.

"Sir, you also have tea." Wang Chunhua took the initiative to serve a cup of tea.

Chen Yongying nodded and immediately took out his notebook and started drawing: "Look at this..."

Soon, he drew the drawings of the Tiger Crouching Cannon, including how big it was, what size it was, and what kind of material it was going to be made of.

"Hiss..." Blacksmith Lao Wang gasped.

"grown ups……"

"This thing of yours is an enlarged version of the Huomen gun, right?"

"This power is probably a bit astonishing."

Chen Yongying nodded: "Well, how long will it take to make it?"

"perhaps……"

"Everyone who followed us before dispatching will take seven days."

Chen Yongying made a decision immediately: "Let's do it!"

"make!"

To be honest, Chen Yongying has never felt very safe in this world. He is really worried many times, especially worried that his red scarf camp will be breached soon.

Cannons can obviously bring this sense of security.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is an artillery piece equipped by the Qi Army. In order to facilitate shooting, the cannon is placed in a fixed posture, much like a tiger squatting, hence the name. The Tiger Crouching Cannon is not very powerful. It is an early mortar style. It is an artillery that mainly shoots in a straight direction. It is suitable for combat areas such as mountains, forests and paddy fields that hinder the mobility of artillery. The lightweight artillery has a thin barrel and a sufficient range. It is fully 500 meters long, but its slender barrel makes it more suitable for mountain operations. It is maneuverable and flexible, can be launched at large elevation angles, and can be equipped with a large number of grassroots troops. It is more advanced than European mortars of the same period.

the most important is……

Each time it is fired, it can be loaded with 100 small lead bullets or pebbles, and a large lead bullet or large stone bullet weighing 30 taels is used to press the top. When fired, both large and small bullets fly out with a roar like thunder, and the lethality and radiation range are very large. .

This is a shotgun!

Not only are there shotgun shells, but there are also big cannonballs!

It can be used as an ordinary cannon or as a shotgun, and its role on the battlefield is completely decisive!

If a five-door tiger squatting gun comes to me, will I still be afraid of a bird?

Of course, if there are high-level warriors, that's another matter.

"Huh..." Chen Yongying took a deep breath.

"Keep training!"

"Jiangcheng has not been peaceful recently, and the sentry posts have been prepared for me to deal with possible dangers at all times."

"Yes!!!" The thirty professional soldiers, who had already begun to understand the concept of discipline at this moment, all straightened their bodies and replied.

……

Jiang County, the county seat, at the gate of the city.

A man rode a tall elk with intelligent eyes and stood in front of everyone: "I read the county annals and found that in the past twenty years, no less than a thousand people have been killed by the Iron Winged Birds!"

"How can we, the human race, be willing to be humiliated by foreign races if they are determined to destroy us?"

"The front lines are tight, but our county has still allocated two third-level warriors for this operation!"

"Everyone..."

"Today is the day we set off for the expedition!"

"Kill the aliens!"

"Suppress the remnants of the Iron Winged Bird clan in Jiang County!"

For a moment, the warriors standing around remained silent.

Whether it was the garrison or the police force, no one spoke at this time, no one showed that kind of loyalty, all without any words.

It was completely different from the one-stop response I imagined. There was just an awkward silence.

"Two third-level warriors...his husband's family is really good at it." Shen Long smiled and shook his head.

"He is clearly just an ordinary person. Not only was he given the position of county magistrate, but now he is preparing to encircle and suppress the Iron Winged Bird aliens around Jiang County and has also sent third-level warriors."

Next to him, a slightly smaller man asked: "Brother, what should we do now?"

"Or attack with all your strength?"

Shen Long shook his head: "I will just go there with the garrison. All the warriors of the Shen family must not move. Shen Meng, you must take good care of the Shen family and not make any mistakes."

"But..." Shen Meng became a little anxious for a moment.

Shen Long was the only third-level warrior in the Shen family. If he went out and took risks like this, he would be risking the future of the Shen family.

"What are you afraid of? I have brought all the garrison troops with me. It doesn't make much difference whether our warriors take them or not."

"Take care of your family and keep them out of trouble."

"I'm leaving." Shen Long finally made the decision.

"It's nothing serious. The Iron-Winged Birds in Jiang County are just a small group of less than a few dozen. The leader is just a third-order Iron-Winged Bird. Logically speaking, there is no danger at all."

There was no other way, Shen Meng could only watch his brother leave.

"I, Shen Long, the commander-in-chief of the Jiangcheng City Guards, hereby follow the orders of the county magistrate and lead the entire city guard force to attack and annihilate the alien race!"

Shen Long was wearing armor and holding a sharp sword. At this moment, he walked in front of everyone like a general.

As soon as Shen Long came out, he attracted everyone's attention.

Especially the city guards standing below all cast loyal eyes.

"Whoa!" In an instant, five hundred city guard soldiers fell to their knees.

"We, the city guards, will only obey the orders of the county magistrate!"

The city guards are the elite of the city gate guards. The lowest are warrior apprentices. They are a team composed purely of warriors. They used to be scattered in various agricultural areas of Jiang County and Jiangcheng, responsible for guarding the city gates.

In times of emergency, the captains of these city gate guards will form a city guard army and become a powerful force.

In every dynasty, city guards have been recruited to fight on the battlefield. This is an elite force.

"Okay!!!" The man on the elk was overjoyed and smiled.

"That……"

His eyes were set on Zhao Lin, the head of the Zhao family and chief of police.

Zhao Lin sighed and finally stood up: "One hundred members of the Security Department's action team are in place and obey the orders of the county magistrate!"

The Security Action Team, equivalent to the armed police, is also composed entirely of warriors and is also an elite force.

"According to the report from the spies ahead, the location where the iron-winged birds appeared last time..."

"It's Hutoushan!"

"All troops set off!"

"Hunt those aliens!" Mu Shaochen was very excited on the elk.

Next to him, a man in black said: "Alas..."

He looked at this uncle, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

But in the end, he shook his head and swallowed back all the thoughts in his heart.

In this way, almost under force, an army of 600 warriors led by County Magistrate Mu Shaochen officially set off.

This is almost all the armed forces in Jiang County. The remaining defenders are some ordinary pseudo-warriors, and of course there are family guards from the two big families.

It can be said that Jiang County now...

Like a soft persimmon.

Even if Chen Yongying's weapons come, they can still be manipulated at will...

……

By the time Chen Yongying received the news, it was already evening.

"Ah????" Chen Yongying's expression was a little stiff.

"Is your news true?"

Yang Heng nodded: "It's true. It was passed back by my uncle. He said that he saw the county magistrate setting off with all the warriors in the county."

"That should be where the various warriors transferred from various places are basically all."

Chen Yongying fell into thinking for a while: "So, now not only the Linjiang Agricultural Zone, but also the entire Jiang County is in a complete vacuum, with no defense at all..."

"Well, that's right!" Yang Heng replied affirmatively.

Chen Yongying suddenly felt his heart throb.

hiss……

What if I directly invade Jiang County and liberate the slaves?

There are not a majority of slaves in the slave market. More slaves are still in plantations, mines, and lumber yards. They usually move around in the slave market. There are at least more than a thousand slaves in the Linjiang agricultural area.

You know, some farmers with a little wealth also like to buy a slave to work for their family. After all, this is not considered consumption, but it is a very cost-effective investment.

"No, it's too early. There is no way to fight against the army of warriors now." Chen Yongying shook his head.

What you have to do now is to enhance your own strength, and you don’t need to think about other things for the time being.

"By the way, why did Yang Niu give you the news?" Chen Yongying frowned and suddenly discovered a problem.

"He said that he always feels that he is not peaceful recently and is planning to take his granddaughter back to Linjiang." Yang Heng replied.

"Back to Linjiang? His medicine shop is running well, why do you want to come back?"

"The new county magistrate is said to have launched many new policies, but I can't tell you. Only people in Jiangcheng know about this, right?"

"So why did he give you the news?" Chen Yongying realized that the fat man hadn't said the key point yet.

"Oh……"

"The person who sent the message said that if something happens, he hopes to come to our place to hide. Although he doesn't know that we have established a large camp here, he knows that we have a place to hide."

Don’t know our campsite?

Chen Yongying shook his head. How did he find the person who delivered the letter?

However, the information given now is very clear, that is, the entire Jiang County is very empty, and it is probably very convenient now to rob homes and homes.

"Um……"

“I am also considered a member of the pioneers.”

"How about sending troops to try?"

Of course, what he was thinking about was not really robbing homes. After all, we are legal and good citizens, and we cannot do illegal or criminal things.

"Have you figured out all the bandit strongholds nearby?" Chen Yongying raised his head and asked.

"Yeah." Yang Heng nodded.

"The entire bandit dens in Jiang County have been mapped out. As long as the bandits have hidden in the past, they are all listed." Yang Heng took out a map and laid it flat on the table.

In fact, the government also knew about the bandit dens.

But when the cunning rabbit has three burrows, what he often finds is just one of the dens, nothing more.

Therefore, it is impossible for the government to expend great efforts to search. Generally speaking, even if there is a plan, it will most likely be revealed and known to others in advance.

"Since it's this time..."

"Then these bandits will definitely move, right?" Chen Yongying looked at the signs on the map.

"I heard that this Sky-shattering Ax likes to go against the government the most."

"He won't take action this time?"

"go!"

"Let's go to the agricultural area in the mountains to have a look."

Soon, a team of thirty people immediately began preparations.

The protection of the camp naturally fell on the militia team led by Lezi.

Although the militia team also uses flintlock rifles and grenades, they usually participate in normal work. They only participate in the task of guarding the camp when the army goes out.

And Leizi is the commander-in-chief of the camp.

"Don't worry, boss, I promise to keep the house safe and wait for you to come back!!!" Lezi stood up straight and said seriously.

"Well, by the way, we still have people digging the tunnels. The production lines can be stopped first. The cellars and tunnels have been dug in advance. Do you hear me?" Chen Yongying patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes!"

Chen Yongying arranged the tunnel project.

The tunnel may not be of much use when facing humans, and will be completely driven to death by tactics such as fire smoke, but when facing the iron-winged bird, the tunnel is obviously a very useful thing.

First, Ironwings do not easily land to dig in the ground.

Second, the iron-winged bird is in the sky and has no idea where the tunnel will lead.

Therefore, if you are as steady as Chen Yongying, you are naturally prepared in advance.

"Go forward!" Chen Yongying waved his hand and gave the order.

Then, the two teams set off.

The line infantry squad and the grenadier squad were marching in a very orderly manner at the moment, and there was no chaos in their formation.

This group of slaves is very suitable for military training. The oppression they have had since childhood has formed a psychological state of obedience. This makes them always appear to be very well-behaved during military formation training, and they will fully comply with the mobilization of the entire military formation. route.

"We still need to see blood first..." Chen Yongying slowly exhaled.

An army that has not shed blood is not an iron army.

"Clap!"

"Bah!" The troops marched in a very orderly manner.

Shui Gen stood beside Chen Yongying, acting as his personal bodyguard to deal with any emergencies seriously.

"Go out and check the situation. If I am attacked by someone in the military formation, I will be a high-level warrior. There is no point in you guarding me." Chen Yong said to Shui Gen.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and explore the way." Shuigen nodded, and then went ahead.

Two hours later, we successfully arrived at Linjiang Agricultural Zone.

then……

Then a very abstract picture appeared.

"There are 32 people in total. How much does it cost to go to the mountain agricultural area?" Yang Hengzai asked while lying at the window.

“50 per person??”

“So expensive!!”

Yang Heng gritted his teeth and finally paid.

Soon, the carriages were arranged, and all the soldiers boarded three carriages.

Chen Yongying stood there and felt abstract.

"It's too abstract..." He covered his face, unable to accept it for a moment.

A group of murderous soldiers, at this time, they actually chose to take a public transportation carriage and needed to buy a ticket.

Really, I have never seen such an abstract army.

"Sigh... I still have to find a way to get the transport out..." Chen Yongying suddenly felt a desire in his heart, but then he shook his head.

In this era, the roads are too bad.

Unless you get on the helicopter directly, you will have to wait too long for infrastructure roads.

"Everyone take a rest, there may be a scuffle next." Chen Yongying said seriously.

The journey by horse carriage to the agricultural area in the mountains can take a full two hours.

"Yes!"

The red scarf soldiers all nodded, and except for those on guard duty, they all took the time to rest.

……

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Damn, that bullshit county magistrate is acting like a fucking fool this time. He insists on wiping out the alien race and exposes so much flesh!" A one-armed man was smiling from ear to ear at the moment.

"Master, even if the warriors are transferred, we won't be able to attack." Next to him, a man who looked quite educated said.

"Even the pseudo-warriors guarding the gate are much more powerful than our brothers."

This is true.

Among these bandits, the strongest are pseudo-warriors, but the weakest guards at the city gate are pseudo-warriors. That is already the ceiling for these bandits.

Therefore, it is simply impossible for them to attack by force.

However, in this case, do those pseudo-warriors who are not led by warriors really dare to move?

Do you really dare to pursue this kind of thing?

Compared with actual combat experience, the pseudo-warriors are not as powerful as the bandits. The difference in punch strength of several dozen kilograms is not that big.

"Just take the original passage and grab the money directly this time!"

"Searching for money door to door!"

"When I see a pretty girl, I just grab it!"

"Yes!!!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

For a moment, these bandits all showed smiles, which was called excitement.

Soon, a group of bandits directly climbed over the fence through a special method, but there were no guards around. The originally guarded door was now tightly closed, and there was no trace of the original guards.

"It's just this area, full of unrelated civilians."

"At least five thousand per family!"

"Those who have no money, use women to pay off their debts!!!" Zhentian Ax smiled and gave the order.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

This kind of thing is the most annoying thing.

At the same time, the city gate closest to this residential area.

"Brother Zhao, it seems... it seems that bandits have come in over there in the alley... They, they are robbing money!" A guard panted and said to his deputy captain.

The vice-captain, known as Brother Zhao, frowned: "Then did they kill anyone?"

"Kill?" The guard was startled, then shook his head.

"It's not like killing someone..."

"Then we won't go there. These bandits will leave after robbing them. If anyone asks later, they will say that we didn't even know the bandits were coming and whether we heard them!"

"Yes!!!"

Vice Captain Zhao said calmly: "Our duty is to guard the west gate and issue warnings in time when iron-winged birds and beasts appear."

"Other things are not our responsibility."

"By the way, do you have family over there?"

"No!!"

"Then stand guard!"

"Yes!"

"Crash, crash, crash -" the carriage slowed down.

"What's going on?" Chen Yongying raised his head and asked.

"We're here, but there are bandits here. Let's go slower." The carriage driver said.

"Ah? We've already encountered bandits, why don't we go around?" Chen Yongying was confused and asked quickly.

No matter how you look at this situation, you should avoid it. Aren't you afraid of being hijacked by bandits?

"The bandits don't dare to rob the official carriage." The coachman said calmly.

In just one sentence, the underpinnings of this matter were completely exposed.

"Huh..." Chen Yongying took a deep breath.

"parking!"

"Ah?" The carriage driver was a little confused. "If you go down, you won't be our passengers."

"Stop, we need to get off!"

There was a smile on Chen Yongying's lips.

Ha ha……

bandit? ?

Isn’t this just a gift of money?

 Six thousand words update, this will be the case from now on.
