Chapter 5: The Armory
Walking on the way home, Yang Qi was recalling the bits and pieces of Shangyun Town in the game, and when he passed by the Yamen, his eyes lit up, and he recalled the strategy he saw in the forum.
In order to facilitate the encirclement and suppression, an armory depot was specially set up in the town, and the military ironclad weapons, long knives, bows and crossbows and other weapons were stored in peacetime.
When suppressing bandits, you can send troops to set off lightly, come to the armory to quickly assemble arms, and quickly encircle and suppress the bandits in the mountains.
But now, the empire is declining, and the entire Nanyang Prefecture is lax, and the silver that is distributed every year for the maintenance and wear of the armory has been embezzled by local officials and has become a means for them to make money.
On the forums, a player has discovered a secret passage leading to the armory, and there is a tunnel that leads directly to the cave at the bottom of the mountain behind the armory.
At the beginning of the game, you can easily obtain iron armor and weapons. Although it is a little dilapidated, it only needs to spend a little money to repair it from the craftsman, and it is brand new equipment. With this set of equipment, the combat effectiveness has increased greatly, leveling up and fighting monsters, and the upgrade is naturally much faster.
Yang Qi's heart moved, rebellion is not a simple matter, the first thing is to get a set of ironclad equipment, you must know that a soldier without armor and a soldier with armor are completely two concepts, even if he gets a set of leather armor, his survivability and combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.
If he was equipped with iron armor and iron guns and iron horses, he would dare to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, and kill them cleanly, and there would be no one left.
It is estimated that even if there is, it has rusted and fallen into disrepair and become a pile of scrap metal. It's not a game, it's a brand new one that can be repaired by a craftsman for a little money.
Perhaps he had long recognized that these equipment were the standard equipment of the army, and betrayed him in the blink of an eye.
Yang Qi gradually had a clear plan for rebellion in his mind, and his first plan was this armory.
Around the armory, there is no human figure in sight, and the iron lock with iron chains wrapped around the door tightly locks the door. The government yamen would not have expected that someone would be crazy enough to attack the idea of the armory, so they never sent people to guard it.
Yang Qi easily found a cave in an overgrown wood, and walked the familiar path along the left side of the current.
At the top of the cave, there is a hard-to-find, hidden plank, which you carefully lifts to enter the interior of the armory.
Looking at the surrounding environment, it is the same as the scene in the game. After the Armory shortcut is discovered by the player, as long as they are newbies, everyone will run to steal a set of equipment. Even players from other counties traveled thousands of miles to Shangyun Town to steal a set of equipment.
Therefore, Shangyun Town has become a gathering place for the five newcomers.
After the game company found out, it forced players to be unable to obtain equipment from the armory, and could only obtain a small amount of copper coins.
As a person born in Shangyun Town, he is naturally familiar with the armory.
The iron armor and weapons fell with a thick layer of dust, and when the dust on them was wiped off, it was a layer of rusty copper and iron.
It seems that no one has been here for a long time.
The iron armor could not be used, but the standard leather armor of the Imperial Light Infantry was found next to it, made of fine raw cowhide tanning, which could resist ordinary sword slashes, even if the brave enemy split the cowhide, under good defense, greatly slowed down the strength and resisted fatal damage.
A full ten sets of foot armor were found, and two complete bows and arrows and hundreds of standard arrows were also found.
The Empire's bow and arrow is a three-stone hard bow, which is extremely powerful, and it is a great killer among cold weapons.
Yang Qi dragged the weapons of the armory out, hid them in the cave, selected a good leather armor to wear closely, and a long knife of the foot soldier, although it was rusty, it could still be used if it was sharpened with a whetstone.
In this way, stealing the weapons and equipment of the armory can reduce the power of the Shangyun Town Government, and it can also arm itself, greatly enhancing its own combat effectiveness, and its security will increase dramatically.
Back at the residence, Yang Qi sat on the edge of the well, took out the whetstone, reached out and poured some well water on the whetstone, took out the rusty long knife from his backpack, and sharpened it rustling.
The rusty iron powder fell off like yellow sand, converging into a yellow stream of water, and the edge of the knife became more and more cold and sharp, flashing with cold murderous intrigend.
Yang Qi held the knife in front of his eyes, looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook his head and continued to sharpen the knife.
It was sharpened until there was no trace of rusty iron on the surface of the knife, and a cold eye appeared on the smooth and transparent blade, which was cold and terrifying. Slowly picked up the silk cloth and wiped the blade of the knife carefully, moving slowly without any fireworks.
Yang Qi felt the blade of the knife with satisfaction, grasped the handle of the knife, and slashed with a swing, carrying the strong wind of hunting and breaking through the air, fast and sharp, cold and intimidating.
The second step of the plan was to kill people and burn grain, and the northern part of the empire was being invaded by the Tatars, and the big men of Zhongzhou mobilized grain from all over the country and transported it to the north to supply the army.
As one of the main grain-producing areas, Ansan County is naturally a key area for grain collection. Local officials and families worked hard to curry favor with the court executives
