Chapter 649: Finding Out
Looking at Mengfan, who was full of tiredness, Yun Qing said softly: "If you are too tired, let me go alone." "Words*love*first*send, you have a good rest."
"No, I'm going with you." Mengfan's mouth was flattened.
"Well, that's what you look like."
"You carry me. By the time you arrive, I'll be pretty much rested. Mengfan wrapped his arms around Yun Qing's neck, and then buried his face in his chest like an ostrich, no matter how he reacted.
Yun Qing had no choice but to carry her to the lair of the Thunder Tiger Horse Thieves.
"Something is wrong." As soon as Yun Qing arrived near the Thunder Tiger Horse Thieves Group, he found that something was wrong.
"What's wrong" Hearing Yun Qing's words, Meng Fan raised his head from Yun Qing's arms and asked.
"You see, there are thousands of people no matter how you look at them. Isn't there only three or four hundred people in this Thunder Tiger horse thief group?" Yun Qing's chin raised at the messy horseshoe prints in front of him.
Mengfan turned his head to look, and saw that there were indeed a lot of messy horseshoe prints on the sand in front of him: "Maybe they have turned around here a few more times." Anyway, let's get over there first. ”
"That's what happened, we'll know when we get there."
Then Yunqing continued to move forward with Mengfan in his arms.
"The place chosen by this Thunder Tiger Horse Thief Group is really strange enough, and it actually arranged the old nest in this desert."
"This desert goes straight to the east coast, bordered by the great ice fields to the north, and very few people come. I'm afraid it's here for secrecy. Mengfan analyzed: "But this is also a good thing for us, at least in this desert, there is no complicated terrain." ”
Soon, Yun Qing saw the lair of the Thunder Tiger Horse Thieves Group.
It is a castle located in the desert, and the castle looks very quaint, and I don't know what era it was built.
Now it's a nest of horse thieves.
The castle was built of massive, neatly carved rocks weighing thousands of pounds, which did not seem to belong to the Northland, and it is not known where they were transported.
It is conceivable that I don't know how much manpower and material resources were spent on the construction of this castle in the first place.
But because of this, this ancient castle has been preserved in the desert.
"I really didn't expect them to find such a castle."
"It seems that this castle is not small, and it should have no problem accommodating two or three thousand people." Looking at the castle in the distance, Meng Fan frowned slightly: "This castle actually has a kind of enchantment, and there is no way to use the sky to enter it." ”
"Well, these guys have found a good place." Yun Qing also felt a little difficult when he heard this: "There is no place to hide in this desert, if we get closer, we will be discovered by the sentry on the tower of the city, if we can't use the law, how can we get in?"
Looking at the castle in the distance, Mengfan suddenly said, "No matter what, let's get closer and test it first and see the situation." ”
Immediately, Yun Qing swept towards the castle.
But he had just swept out only a few dozen steps, and Tuo Yefeng's voice came from the side: "Yunqing, stop." ”
"Alas" turned his head to look, only to see a sand dune behind, revealing Tuo Yefeng's head: "Why don't you hurry up and come over in a daze?"
"Why are you here" Yun Qing hurriedly passed: "Did you find something?"
"Hey, isn't this the last assistant Mengfan of the night moon, you weren't caught" Tuo Yefeng looked at Mengfan who was held in Yunqing's arms, and asked subconsciously, and then he reacted: "Look at me." Isn't this nonsense, how would you be here if you were caught? ”
"Speaking of which, how did you end up here?"
"Hehe, I may have found out his Li Xiaotian's reliance." Takuno Feng smiled.
"Oh what"
"What do you need to fight a war?" asked Takuno.
Meng Fan laughed when he heard this: "There are only three things, money, money, and money." ”
"Isn't that the same," Yun Qing said with a smile.
"Dead wood, no sense at all." Mengfan pinched Yun Qing: "Tuo Yefeng, after all, but I don't think it should be money, after all, no matter how much gold coins there are now, it will reverse the unfavorable situation." ”
"Hahaha, it's really worthy of Suesuke-sama. Sure enough, it was insightful. Tuo Yefeng laughed: "I first found out that one of Li Xiaotian's henchmen has often been in contact with several horse thief forces recently. After tracking down all the way, it was found that those horse thief gangs had secretly purchased a large number of weapons from the Western Noble Alliance, and even a lot of large-scale siege equipment. Not to mention, the most important thing is that there are more than two thousand horse-shooting crossbows among them. ”
"What more than 2,000 horse shooting crossbows" Meng Fan's face changed suddenly: "How can it be such a thing as a horse shooting crossbow, it is impossible for the Noble Alliance to allow it to be sold, this is one of their biggest reliance against the Steppe Wolf Court." ”
"What is it that shoots a horse crossbow" Yun Qing had never heard of it, he had only heard of the Northwest Alliance's ace division, Snow Mountain Tianwei.
"The Horse Shooting Crossbow is a great weapon of destruction made by the Suehara Duchy of the Northwest Alliance. The Duchy of Suehara is adjacent to the prairie and is plagued by the steppe wolf court all year round. It wasn't until later that they unearthed a relic that was left behind by the ancient puppet civilization. Inspired by a weapon dug inside, they developed a horse crossbow. ”
"This horse crossbow is much lighter than a siege crossbow, and can be carried away by cavalry, and can be easily used by one person. The bolts fired can pierce an entire horse from a distance of 200 paces. ”
"When the Steppe Wolf Court attacked the Noble Alliance, it suffered a big loss in this horse crossbow. In that battle, the cavalry of the steppe wolf court had just reached the middle of the charge, and they were shot down by a large part of the crossbow shooting, so that they were defeated and suffered heavy losses. ”
Listening to Mengfan's explanation, Yun Qing was surprised: "Isn't it true that you can shoot through the entire horse, even heavy armor can shoot through?"
"It's true that it can shoot through, but that thing can only shoot horses, and rarely shoot people. Although it is lighter than a siege crossbow, it is still heavier, and it is difficult to aim at people on horseback when placed on the ground. ”
"I see." Yun Qing suddenly said: "No wonder Li Xiaotian dared to make a move against Xinghui." With those horse crossbows here, against the elite of the Golden Wolf King, and even the Iron Wolf Divine Guard, I am afraid that they will take a lot of advantage. If it is taken by surprise, it can even cause the elite cavalry of the Golden Wolf King to suffer heavy losses. ”
"That's not all, those siege engines are the real killers." Takuno Feng sneered: "Although it is a siege weapon, the power of defending the city is also extremely amazing. Especially those siege crossbows. ”
"I remember that when the generation of Golden Wolf Kings went south to loot a few decades ago, they were directly shot to death by the siege crossbows of the Tianhua defenders in the distance." Takuno said, "That's a distance of a thousand paces. ”
"A thousand steps away" Yun Qing was secretly frightened, this distance, now he can reach or even far exceed the divine bow forged by Wang Lao.
But for an ordinary army, this distance is too terrible.
"This kind of heavy siege crossbow is indeed unrealistic for Tianhua, each city is equipped with a large number of weapons, but for Litian City, it is very simple. He Li Xiaotian didn't spend much, but he made a lot of money. Tuo Yefeng snorted coldly: "I really didn't expect that he, Li Xiaotian, would be a big horse thief leader who was bigger than the three major horse thief leaders on the grassland. ”
"The three major horse thief leaders have been killed by you, and now if you kill the biggest horse thief leader, it can be regarded as eliminating harm to the people of the grassland. Hahaha" Yun Qing laughed: "But then again, although we know his dependence, we don't have a good way to deal with him for a while." ”
"If it's a frontal attack, with the strength of the three of us, these horse thieves shouldn't be a problem," Mengfan thought for a while and said, "It's better to kill it directly." ”
"Nope." Takuno Feng shook his head again and again: "You don't know, in the past few days, several other horse thief forces have also gathered. To my surprise, among these people, there were many grandmaster-level powerhouses. Judging from all indications, those people should be the powerhouses of the nearby sects. ”
"It seems that when the Golden Wolf King's army is about to be overwhelmed, Li Xiaotian attaches great importance to this material."
It's impossible for him not to value it, without this batch of materials, he basically lost this battle.
With this batch of supplies, there may be a chance or two to delay until the other tribes of the Steppe Wolf Court rebel.
"But even with the help of these grandmaster-level powerhouses, how will they transport them over," Meng Fan muttered, "Heading south from here to Litian City, it is very likely that he will be discovered by the people of the Golden Wolf King halfway. When the army arrives, it will be easy to loot these things. ”
"As for those grandmaster-level powerhouses, it's okay for them to deal with us, but it's impossible for them to take action against ordinary troops. Breaking the Grandmaster Contract is not a joke. ”
Yun Qing silently opened the map and said for a long time: "We seem to have overlooked something. ”
"What" Hearing Yun Qing's words, the two immediately knew that Yun Qing must have discovered something.
Yun Qing stretched out his hand and drew a circle at the location of the Thunder Tiger Castle, and then drew directly to the sea to the east: "We have all forgotten that there are sea ships in the North Sea. As long as you go to the sea, you can safely deliver your things to Litenjo Castle. ”
"I see." As soon as Yun Qing said this, both of them understood.
As long as it is transported to the port in the south of Litian City, then it will be much easier to send it to Litian City.
Moreover, it is the scope of Li Xiaotian's army, so there is naturally no problem in terms of security.
"It seems that we have no way to take this batch of supplies." Yun Qing felt a little frustrated.
"That's how it should be. But fortunately, the arrangement on the Lin family's side is still effective. Let's wait for news from the Lin family and go to save people. Mengfan sighed: "If possible, I really want to rob something." If you get your hands on that batch of supplies, you will make a lot of money. ”
"The arrangement of the Lin family" Tuo Yefeng was slightly stunned when he heard this: "What's the matter?"
Hearing Yun Qing talk about the matter, Tuo Yefeng was immediately overjoyed: "Isn't it very good, let's go back and wait for the news to save people, and it's not a way to wait here." ”
