Chapter Seventy-Four: A Powerful Enemy Is Coming
"Young master, Luxi Wu's housekeeper is outside, saying that he has something important to ask to see you."
Not long after Wang Hong returned to the City Lord's Mansion here, Feng Lanlan hurriedly walked into the room and reported to him in a low voice.
"They came to me in the middle of the night, and it seems that there is something really urgent."
Wang Hong was slightly stunned, nodded and walked towards the living room.
Among the three major forces in Luxi today, only the Wu family has been inherited for nearly three hundred years.
Because of some changes in the past few years, the Luxi Wu clan is now old, small, and the clan is not in charge, from the original Luxi landlord, to the weakest of the three families.
But this kind of power that has been inherited for a long time, no matter how weak it is, will pay attention to all kinds of rules, and if there is no big thing, it will definitely not let the housekeeper come to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the night.
"Steward Wu, what is it that made you come to Xincheng in the middle of the night?"
Wang Hong walked quickly into the living room, and saw a middle-aged man standing in the lobby who was not good-looking, so he motioned to Feng Lanlan to close the door, and then asked directly.
Steward Wu bowed to Wang Hong, and said quickly after getting up.
"Lord City Lord, our people in Pugan Country have received information that in the past two days, many troops in Xigao County and Miodi County in the west have suddenly entered Modai County, which is close to us."
"The location of the combined forces of the three counties is in the eastern part of Modai County, only more than fifty miles away from the Ira Pass, which is likely to be unfavorable to the new city."
Wang Hong couldn't help frowning when he heard this, if this thing was true, it would indeed be a big trouble.
Luxi City belongs to the border city directly managed by the Federation, similar to the provincial county of Dixing, and while the power is relatively large, it also has to shoulder more work on its own.
For example, some small frictions on the border, Luxi City basically has to deal with it by itself, so the border city lord has the right to recruit troops on his own.
So when this kind of thing happens, Wang Hong either asks the federation for help, or he has to carry it himself.
Although in order to supply Wang Hong with weapons and baggage, the Federation made a promise to help deal with the foreign enemies in Luxi City.
But now that the other party hasn't called, Wang Hong is shouting for help, and it is easy to be looked down upon by the major forces in Yunzhou, and there will only be more troubles when the time comes.
Therefore, this time Pugan's three-county coalition army, Wang Hong had better carry it by himself, so as to dispel many people's greed.
In the future, if Pugan's side is unwilling to fail and continues to send troops to attack Luxi City, he will go to the Federation for support, which will be justified.
"Thank you Steward Wu for coming to report the news in the starry night, I have written down the Wu family's intentions."
Wang Hong arched his hand at Steward Wu and recognized Wu's credit.
After sending off Steward Wu, Wang Hong sat in the living room and pondered the way to defend against the enemy.
The strength of the county soldiers in Pugan Country is not very strong, and they are basically martial artists who have just started the body forging technique, which is similar to the city guards who Wang Hong has cultivated for half a year.
But most of these county soldiers of Pugan have experienced battlefield battles.
In addition to the more than 1,000 veterans in the city guards, the other more than 10,000 people are young and strong in various counties, and Wang Hong is not optimistic about their actual combat strength.
Moreover, according to what Steward Wu said, the other party has forty or fifty thousand people, and even if there is a tall city wall defense, it is difficult to say whether the final victory or defeat will be said.
"Do we want to popularize firearms?"
"Once the city guards are equipped with a large number of guns, it will be easy to defeat the enemy army, but there will be a steady stream of trouble afterwards."
"And the principle of firearms is not complicated, there are many skilled craftsmen in this world, and it is not difficult to imitate guns, even if it is difficult to produce them in large quantities, it is not a good thing for me."
Wang Hong relied on guns to kill strong enemies many times, and naturally did not want its secret to be exposed too early.
Although the city guard army is a new army that has just been formed, there must be spies from all parties in it.
It is impossible for Wang Hong to cast soul dementorship on tens of thousands of people one by one, so once he issues a gun, it is almost equivalent to introducing this weapon to the world, which will definitely not be conducive to him going to the Yin people in the future.
"Young master, if I go back to Lijiang, although the Feng family is defeated now, the relationship in the county is still there, as long as the young master is willing to give some property, he should be able to borrow five thousand county soldiers."
Seeing Wang Hong's frowning, Feng Lanlan hesitated for a moment and suggested to him.
Lijiang County City is less than three hundred miles away from Luxi City, and since Wang Hong became the Lord of Luxi City, Feng Lanlan has reconnected with Lijiang Feng with his permission.
In this year, with the help of Feng Lanlan's relationship, the Lijiang Feng clan received the same treatment as the three major forces in Luxi City.
got a large number of low-priced goods from Wang Hong, and made a lot of money, and there is a faint trend of re-emerging.
At this time, if Feng Lanlan went back to ask for help, even if Feng looked at the low-cost supply, he would definitely try his best to help Wang Hong find reinforcements.
However, Wang Hong's idea is different, instead of having one more foreign army in the city that is difficult to control, it is better to directly issue guns, so that Yunzhou and Pugan know that he Wang Hong is not easy to mess with.
"Don't worry about it, just the soldiers and horses of the three counties of Pugan will not be difficult for your young master."
Wang Hong patted Feng Lanlan's upturned buttocks, and then quickly left the living room.
It is not an easy task to get a large number of guns, there is almost no hope in the country, even if you go to the chaotic Africa, it is also difficult to get tens of thousands of rifles at one time.
"Forget it, let's go to another country to be a gentleman on the back, it's too easy to make a mistake if you buy it directly."
If it weren't for the last resort, Wang Hong would be reluctant to do this kind of thing, but he also understood the principle of being in a hurry.
So when the portal cooled down, he immediately returned to Earth.
Then he gave a brief explanation in the company, and talked to his parents on the phone, and then Wang Hong went to the nearest Guangling Airport.
During his year in Luxi City, in addition to building the city and cultivating, Wang Hong also collected a lot of good things.
For example, a belt tied around his waist, as long as he is stimulated with mental power, he can enter a state of invisibility.
Although this kind of low-level stealth can only conceal martial artists below the acquired stage, it does not have room for improvement like the Shadow Transformation Technique.
But this kind of treasure is simple and convenient to use, and there is no need to be distracted to maintain it all the time, so Wang Hong has always worn it on his body.
took a hitchhiker and flew to Yanjing, and when he got off the plane, he saw a private jet that had just taken off.
At this time, Wang Hong suddenly remembered something, he seemed to have forgotten an old fellow, and if he looked for him, he might be able to get a lot of arms from China.
If Luxi City uses Chinese-style firearms in a unified manner, it will be much more convenient to supply ammunition in the future.
Moreover, Wang Hong heard that in the arsenal of Xia Kingdom, old arms were piled up, and a lot of money had to be wasted every year just for maintenance.
Now that there is such a demand, it would be good to simply help the country clean up its inventory.
Although there is not much ammunition needed this time, now that you can bring guns over there, the demand will only increase in the future.
Sixty years ago, the relationship between Xia Guo and Bald Eagle and Polar Bear was extremely tense, and at that time, in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the enemy's technology, Xia Guo could only choose to use all the soldiers.
God knows how many old guns were built in those years, and the legendary more than a billion grenades.
If he can get rid of all the other worlds, not counting the innate and grandmaster, Wang Hong can quickly pull out a million troops and unify the entire Tiannan Eight Prefectures!
