Li Xiang took the initiative to speak out, alleviating the embarrassment in the tent.

"Those firearms must not be damp, they must not be exposed to open flames, they must not be squeezed." Li Xiang nodded and expressed deep understanding, "Although there are only a few dozen, it must be very hard to carefully transport them from the outside world to the mountains." ”

"Commander Li is so young that he has such a good understanding of the use of firearms?"

"Yes, the storage and transportation of firearms are very different from ordinary knives, guns and arrows, and they have always been transported and handled by special personnel."

The commander of the firearms battalion opened the conversation box and began to talk to Li Xiang about his experience and difficulties in using firearms.

"It's a pity that I brought too few things, and I have already used a small half of them just now. Otherwise, as soon as the city wall north of Deqing County was blocked with firearms, the father-in-law commanded by Li would have swaggered out. ”

The commander of the firearms battalion boasted proudly, but he was not entirely arrogant.

The battalion commander who commanded the car's bed crossbow and the battalion commander who commanded the crossbow rolled their eyes, but it was not easy to refute. In just a few decades, the Great Zhou firearms have developed many branches, which have become a major killer weapon of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army.

Li Xiang asked about the latest progress in the research and development of firearms in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then talked about the benefits, "Although I am only a small commander of the township soldiers, I am somewhat famous in Huzhou City, how can I let the three brothers suffer?" ”

"The cost of the bed crossbow itself and the cost of the crossbow arrows used, the bolts of the tension crossbow, the consumption of firearms. The younger brother will bear these costs, and it will not make it difficult for several brothers. ”

The above was just a side dish, and Li Xiang took out a stick figure from his arms.

"Three of you, please see, to the west of Huzhou City, there is a small town called Xiwang Temple. The younger brother has just set up several workshops there......"

Half an hour later, the three battalion commanders reached a business cooperation with Li Xiang, left the tent with a full stomach, and went back to their small camp to rest.

Fang Weiliang, Yang Yingdong, Ding Shihang, Da Niu, and Radar, these five squeezed into the tent of the owner.

Yang Yingdong smelled the strong smell of wine and meat, frowned, and said: "Guozhen is as the old village owner said, the civil officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are inseparable from the famous prostitutes of Qinglou, and the military generals are inseparable from the wealth of wine and meat. ”

"The three military attaches who were ordered to enter the mountains to aid our department can't get rid of the good of wine and meat for a day."

As a result, the young men were so tired that they had to shoot birds for them. The brothers who had fought many times could barely walk, and they had to dig out the dens of the beasts. If it weren't for the owner of the farm to recruit a lot of hunters, I don't know how much effort it would take. ”

Fang Weiliang relied on his performance in recent days to successfully win Yang Yingdong's recognition and respect. He patted Yang Yingdong's arm, "Who let us ask for help, you have also seen how good those ordnance are." Bear with me, the overall situation is important. ”

Ding Shihang and Da Niu also drank porridge for the past two days, and at most they could eat a few pickled vegetables and wild vegetables, and they swallowed their saliva at this time.

Radar is only responsible for repairing weapons and ordnance, and does not need to fight the Fang La army, so he can't experience the body's instinctive desire for meat after intense physical exertion.

The owner rubbed his slightly reddened cheeks, "Isn't there still a few prey, kill two or three, and give a few of you a few to satisfy your hunger." There is no reason for outsiders to eat well, but we have to save it ourselves. ”

"All the rest was cut into diced meat and put in the porridge at noon, so that the brothers could taste the meat."

"Before each prey is put into the pot, it must be repeatedly confirmed by Lang Zhong of the medical and health department, but if there is anything unclean, it must be thrown away whole."

Ding Shihang and others thanked the owner.

Li Xiang looked at Yang Yingdong, "How many people can fight again?" ”

Yang Yingdong said bitterly: "There are less than two hundred and fifty people who can run. ”

The end of the use of soldiers who are too anxious is coming.

Li Xiang first led people to march in a hurry, then fought several fierce battles, and even attacked by different routes last night, and just defeated Ying Ming's 2,000 people, and now he finally tasted the bitter fruit.

The "800 Army" that defeated Ying Ming's 2,000 people before, only nearly 300 people were Zhuang Ding and Wufu, and the rest were all auxiliary soldiers of the Great Zhou Army who took up arms, young and strong people in the army, and even ordinary people.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang La's army was on the verge of collapse under the repeated blows of bed crossbows, kicking crossbows, and firearms, it was still unknown whether the people who were hurriedly armed would be able to charge with Zhuang Ding and Wufu.

Fortunately, the result was good, Fang La's army collapsed as soon as he rushed, otherwise Li Xiang would have worked hard to defend now.

Li Xiang smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, Fang Tianding has already determined that I have thousands of people on my hands, otherwise it would be dangerous." ”

Next, Li Xiang discussed with Fang Weiliang and Yang Yingdong, and decided to integrate all the brave warriors into Zhuang Ding.

At this time, Liu Sheng and Zhang Qingping arrived with more than 100 people.

Li Xiang was pleasantly surprised, and came out of the tent to greet him, and the others also welcomed him with smiles.

Liu Sheng and Zhang Qingping worked hard to finally bring more than 100 people to Li Xiang, and most of them still had the strength to fight.

For Li Xiang, the arrival of Liu Sheng and Zhang Qingping was simply a timely rain. He has never been so short of manpower as now, and he has never been so anxious when he sees a Zhuang Ding lose his combat power.

Li Xiang briefly asked the two about the bandits.

When they heard that the two gangs of bandits who took advantage of the fire to rob were hiding in such an easy and difficult place to attack, Yang Yingdong and the others all pinched a cold sweat.

Liu Sheng concluded: "Fortunately, there is no major danger, but it is the second trouble point of the bandit's nest. Fortunately, Brother Qingping stepped forward and led more than 30 people to shoot upward. ”

The arrow was like an eye, and the other party didn't dare to raise his head on it. I rushed with my brother in armor and finally took it. ”

"Hurry up along the way, and don't let the brothers get tired, my heart is really angry. If it weren't for Brother Zhang Qingping to persuade me, I would have come back with soft-footed shrimp as soon as possible. ”

Li Xiang praised Zhang Qingping a few words. Zhang Qingping waved his hand again and again and said that he didn't dare to take it, it was all the nest that Liu Sheng led people to take, Yunyun.

For Zhang Qingping, it was the first time he left the owner to lead the troops, and it was most important to leave the impression of humility and ease of getting along with others.

Rice, pancakes, and flatbread, which seemed extravagant at this time, were brought into the tent, followed by a thick broth. The laughter in the tent stopped, and everyone, including Li Xiang, was waiting for the meal to be served.

Finally, a small pot of wild vegetable soup. After confirming that the dishes and chopsticks were complete, a gang leader led people out and lowered the curtain of the tent again.

Li Xiang waved his hand and let everyone talk while eating.

Liu Sheng and Yang Yingdong are both people who know when to be polite and when to be polite. Liu Sheng divided the broth into the bowls, Yang Yingdong handed the first bowl to Li Xiang, and then handed the bowls full of broth to the others one after another.

Zhang Qingping began to distribute the cakes, Ding Shihang and Da Niu were busy cutting the flatbread into small pieces, and Radar helped the old man Zhang, who had just come to the tent after taking a shower, to serve rice to everyone.

Fang Weiliang, like Li Xiang, is very clean. He scalded his chopsticks again in the hot water before nodding contentedly.

Li Xiang took a sip of broth, took a big bite of steamed buns, and took the time to ask Liu Shengdao: "In the lair of those two bandits, did you find anything?" ”

This time it was Zhang Qingping who spoke first. Zhang Qingping took a big sip of hot soup, sent the contents in his mouth down, and said with a fist: "Most of the tracking and search things are done by me, so let's talk about it." ”

"According to the instructions of the owner, Liu Sheng met two bandit leaders on the way back to Xiwangmiao in the light and in the dark."

"Xu knew that there were newcomers in our team, and they attacked again and quickly fled. Liu Sheng and I pursued openly and covertly, and finally found their lair in Qingshan Fort. ”

Then Zhang Qingping wiped his hands on the cloth towel of the radar, and handed over a small package that he wanted to hand over later, and Fang Weiliang handed it to the owner.

Li Xiang put down his chopsticks, opened the letter in the package and took a cursory look, shook his head and said helplessly: "There are more than a dozen?" The owner of the village thought that some big family was eyeing me, but it turned out that these people just beat me with a stick......"

Liu Sheng took a bite of the cake and couldn't help but say: "Those people's hearts can be blackened, and what they are doing is simply not personnel, Brother Zhang, you can tell me." ”

Everyone didn't stop talking, and they all looked at Zhang Qingping. Li Xiang also looked over curiously.

Zhang Qingping said in a low tone: "The rich gentry and the merchants, not only let the two bandits rob the merchant caravans, but also get rid of their opponents. They were also asked to focus on killing small people in certain places and not allowing those small people to return to their hometowns. ”

Radar was a little puzzled, "Why don't you let the farmers go back to their hometowns, and now when they come back, they can still replant something until summer and autumn." ”

Fang Weiliang looked at the radar and said seriously: "For the land, for the only remaining land in the hands of the small people." ”
