Chapter 33: Occupation of the Arsenal

"A bunch of trash! The Imperial army has rotted to this point! ”

Zhou Ping looked at the scattered officers and soldiers with disdain, especially the four officers who fled on horseback.

"Brothers, kill the rebels! Those who surrender will not be killed! ”

When the officers and soldiers who were scattered heard that they could spare their lives as long as they laid down their weapons, those who ran slowly immediately put down their weapons and surrendered, and those who ran fast took off the clothes of the officers and soldiers and disappeared without a trace.

"Humph! Escape very fast! ”

"The officers and soldiers are too vulnerable!"

A moment later, the officers and soldiers who were alive on the school field were disarmed, tied up, and locked in a small black room, leaving two people to guard the back. Zhou Ping was ready to attack the county government, and it was a great achievement to catch the county order, but as for the remaining officers and soldiers, he really didn't care about it.

The news of the rebellion of the rebels has gradually spread in the city.

The officers and soldiers of the arsenal guarded, seeing more than a hundred righteous soldiers rushing over with ill intentions, guards, you look at me, I look at you, only five or six people can resist for a moment, put down their weapons, and dispersed.

Even if he is held accountable afterwards, it is better than being hacked to death by the rebels here!

So, when Zhao Gong led people to easily capture the arsenal, it was so smooth. The doors of the arsenal were closed and intact. And the soldiers guarding it have fled without a trace.

"It went so well."

The rebel soldiers who followed the fight were also dumbfounded, and they didn't even resist as a formation, has the rule of the empire been eroded to such a point?

If the government gets the news, it will gather the officers and soldiers in advance, and the soldiers and township soldiers will be summoned in advance, and they only need to take the veterans as the skeleton, and they will soon be able to pull up an army of thousands of people. It is easy to annihilate tens of thousands of rebel armies composed of displaced people, but there are many examples of tens or hundreds of front-line troops of the empire suppressing hundreds of thousands of rebels.

Zhao Gong looked at the closed door of the arsenal in front of him, and gave the order to the accompanying rebels to smash it open.

The gate of the arsenal is made of heavy wood and covered with a thin layer of iron, and the gate of the arsenal is incredibly tough. The rebels cut down the willow tree at the door, held it up, used it as a simple battering ram, and began to hit the door.

"Boom!"

A dull crash sounded.

Dozens of volunteer troops divided into three waves, and hit more than a dozen in a row, but they failed to shake the gate of the arsenal. It took half an hour before the door was broken open with a bang.

A strange smell of pungent black oil and lime came to the face, and the choking rebel soldiers sneezed constantly.

In the center of the dark hall were four rows of weapon racks, each with five separate weapon racks, each stacked with ten standard Imperial infantry swords, totaling about two hundred. Although many of them have been corroded by rust due to improper storage, no matter how rusty they are, as long as they are sharpened a little, they are still far beyond the current level of the righteous army.

In the corner of the wall, there were large bundles of red tassel guns, which should be used by the local soldiers for training, and the number was at least a few hundred. Compared to the inferior spears and bamboo guns made by the rebels, I don't know how strong it is.

At the other end of the arsenal, there were at least two hundred and fifty sets of light infantry leather armor, plus four sets of chain mail that only a hundred households were qualified to wear. Although most of the leather armor is old, and some of the leather strips are worn off, they are still usable.

So much armor and equipment is enough to arm three elite centurians to the teeth.

In addition to these swords and armor, there are also twenty imperial warbows hanging on the walls of the arsenal. Although they are all one-stone strong bows, compared to the tattered hunting bows in the hands of the archer barracks, they are far better than the current bows and arrows of the archer barracks in terms of strength, power and accuracy. In addition, there are ten bundles of 2,000 feather arrows in the corner, and you can vaguely smell the lacquer on the shaft and tail feathers.

As for the four sets of chain mail, it is even more incredible. The iron rings made of wrought iron are stacked in series, and ordinary bladed arrows cannot penetrate at all, and they have a defensive power far beyond leather armor. The cost and time required to craft this set of chain mail alone is enough to make at least five sets of leather armor.

It is worth mentioning that the arsenal is quite complete. In addition to the armament, other scattered ones are tung oil, horseshoes, horseshoes, rolling wood, thistles, and flint...... All kinds of inconspicuous and inconspicuous objects. For example, if all the rolling logs in stock were moved to the city, they could kill and injure at least a few hundred thieves. And Yang Qi's rebel army, if it was smashed by rolling wood gold juice and hot oil during the siege, he was afraid that it would collapse immediately.

"It's ours."

Since the arsenal was not very far from the school field, Zhou Ping had already led most of the men and horses to rush to the arsenal, intending to unite Zhao Gong's men and horses to attack the county government together.
