Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dismissal, Preparing for War
After confirming that the Qingcheng faction had come, Ling Zhennan first sent someone to find his wife and Ling Fang to discuss, and then ordered someone to gather all the people in the dart game, and did not hide it from everyone, directly saying that there was a strong enemy coming to the door, and the other party was the Qingcheng faction that shook the rivers and lakes, and their Ling family was not sure whether they could survive this difficulty, so if there was someone who was willing to stay and help, he raised his hand to welcome, and he was not reluctant to take this risk, he could go to the account room to withdraw three months' salary in advance and leave on his own.
When the dart masters and executioners heard Ling Zhennan say this, they were immediately in an uproar, and after some discussion, except for more than 20 hardcore loyal dart masters and executioners who stayed and did not leave, most of the remaining people chose to leave. However, except for a few cheeky people who left, most of them did not go to the account office to pay the money, and it was enough to choke back in battle, how could they have the face to receive the money?
If Ling Zhennan only said that the strong enemy was coming, and did not know that the opponent was the Qingcheng faction, in fact, most of the dart masters and executioners would stay to fight the enemy, because Ling Zhennan treated his subordinates well, and everyone was still willing to work for him. However, if the enemy is the Qingcheng faction, the matter is different, after all, the Qingcheng faction is a well-known and famous faction in the rivers and lakes, and it is powerful. This made many people retreat, after all, everyone has the idea of greedy life, it is one thing to be willing to serve Ling Zhennan, but it is another thing to be willing to work for it, although this will inevitably bear the reputation of being greedy for life and afraid of death, but it is better than losing a small life.
Regarding his father's approach, Ling Muyun raised his hands in approval. Because even if Ling Zhennan does not reveal the identity of his opponent at this time, he will also find out when he really fights, and these people will inevitably have the heart of fear and retreat at that time, rather than letting these unwilled people disturb the morale of the army at that time, it is better to drive them all away now. Although most of the people chose to leave in this way, it seemed to weaken the strength of the Fuwei Dart Game, but in fact, it eliminated the people who were not strong-willed, and the rest were people who were loyal to the Ling family, united as one, and it was better than the previous rabble.
It is worth mentioning that among the four people who went out hunting with Ling Muyun during the day, Zheng Shi'er and Bai Er both stayed, but Chen Qi, the executioner, chose to leave, and he was one of the few people who had the cheekiness to go to the account room to collect the money. Ling Muyun sneered secretly at this, if the others may have a way to live after leaving, but Chen Qi, who participated in the battle during the day, is sure to die, and it is strange that the people of the Qingcheng faction can let him go, I am afraid that he has the life to receive the money but has no life to spend it.
Although Ling Muyun knew it in his heart, he didn't kindly remind Chen Qi that the path was chosen by himself, since Chen Qi chose to turn his back on the Ling family at this critical juncture, then Ling Muyun naturally had no obligation to care about his life or death.
After those who were not strong-minded left, Ling Zhennan instructed Ling Fang: "Brother Fang, you take a few people to take out the guys in the backyard warehouse and divide them among the brothers under you, at this time, there is no need to hide them, with these things, the brothers can also have a little more confidence in their lives." ”
Ling Fang nodded yes, and then called four people to go to the backyard warehouse with him.
Those dart masters and executioners who stayed behind all felt a little strange, and they didn't know what Ling Zhennan was talking about, which could have such a big effect. Even Ling Muyun was at a loss, but looking at his mother's clear expression on the side, he obviously knew, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seemed that he still knew too little about his own affairs!
There was not much time, Ling Fang led four people to carry two large boxes with iron locks and walked in from the outside, and put the boxes in the hall, obviously this is what Ling Zhennan said, everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on these two big boxes, secretly guessing what they contained. Ling Zhennan didn't let everyone's doubts last long, walked into the hall, and without using the key, he directly reached out and unscrewed the iron lock on the two boxes, and then lifted the lid of the box.
Before everyone had time to marvel at Ling Zhennan's powerful palm skills, they were shocked by what was revealed in the box, one box contained a black and shiny strong crossbow, and the other box contained a bundle of special crossbow arrows to match.
Ling Muyun couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, the crossbow arms of these strong crossbows were all made of special stainless steel, and the crossbow strings were also made of special steel wires. The matching crossbow arrows are all made of stainless steel, and the arrow clusters are faintly gray and cold, because of the addition of special lead poison, once a person is shot by this kind of crossbow arrow, he will be attacked by the lead poison contained in it while suffering from its physical damage, resulting in chemical damage.
As far as Ling Muyun knows, this kind of strong crossbow has a name called the Divine Soldier Repeater, which is one of the sharp weapons in the army of the Great Xia Dynasty, even in the army of the Great Xia Dynasty, only a few elite troops can be equipped, this kind of crossbow can be loaded with five crossbow arrows at a time, that is to say, an arrow can be fired five times in a row, the range can reach up to more than 300 steps, the effective range is about 200 steps, and the heavy armor can be penetrated within 200 steps, which is the most effective to deal with the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind or the martial arts people who come and go.
It was precisely by relying on a large number of well-trained soldiers and some powerful equipment like this that the Great Xia Dynasty maintained a strong deterrent power against the many martial arts forces in its territory, so that many martial arts forces would not be too rampant. And the martial arts people also tried to avoid conflicts with the army of the imperial court, and the main fear was these powerful equipment of the army. After all, martial artists are also **mortals, unless martial arts practice to the innate realm and have the ability to protect the body, even the quasi-first-class master of the day after tomorrow will not be able to withstand this kind of strong crossbow shooting.
It is precisely because of this that military equipment such as the Shenbing crossbow is strictly forbidden to circulate among the people, and whether it is leaked or privately hidden, it is punished as a crime of treason, which is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Therefore, this thing is rarely seen among the people, I can't imagine that there is still such a thing hidden in his family, Ling Muyun can't help but secretly exclaim, it seems that his family's relationship in the official face is also quite good, and he can even get this kind of heavy weapon in the army.
It is estimated that Ling Zhennan also had this consideration in letting those who were not strong-minded quit before, and this kind of thing can indeed only be known to hardcore loyal people, otherwise if it leaks out, it will be a big trouble, and if it is not done well, it will attract the imperial court to clean it up! Although in the main world, the imperial court and the rivers and lakes are in a situation similar to the well water not the river water, but what is the matter, once the bottom line of the imperial court is touched, and the huge state machine is running, it is really not something that ordinary people can resist.
Not only Ling Muyun, but also those dart masters and executioners were also inhaled for a while after seeing the divine soldier and crossbow in the box, but after the shock, they were all overjoyed, because it was a machine crossbow arrow, and the divine soldier crossbow was simpler than the firearm in Ling Muyun's previous life, just put on the crossbow arrow, aim, and pull the trigger, almost a person can use it, so although it was the first time for the dart masters to contact the real object of this divine soldier crossbow, there was no slightest obstacle to it.
The morale of the dart master and the executioners suddenly increased and their confidence was full of confidence, with such a powerful guy in hand, as long as they seized the opportunity, even the quasi-first-class masters who cultivated to the day after tomorrow could shoot and kill, what else did they have to fear? What about the people of the Qingcheng faction, as long as they come, they will not be able to eat and walk around!
At that moment, Ling Zhennan distributed the Divine Soldier Repeater, there were as many as fifty Divine Soldier Repeaters in the box, and there were more than 20 left, but there were not many crossbow arrows left in another box, originally the Divine Soldier Repeater and the crossbow arrows were matched, and a crossbow was equipped with twenty crossbow arrows as standard, but the dart masters and executioners took a lot more out of caution.
After distributing the crossbow arrows, Ling Fang closed the box and led people back to the backyard warehouse. Ling Muyun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle Fang, I don't know if there is that kind of powerful bow in the warehouse?" ”
Ling Fang nodded and said, "Yes, there are still a few two-stone bows and a three-stone bow in the warehouse, all of which are the best strong bows used in the army, I don't know which one do you want, young master?" ”
"I want that three-stone bow!" Ling Muyun said with a happy face.
Thirty catties is one jun, four jun is one stone, and the three-stone bow is a strong bow of three hundred and sixty catties. Just let the people of the Qingcheng faction see the magic marksmanship he has cultivated in the Condor world!
When Ling Fang led the four people to carry the box to the backyard warehouse, when they came back, they really brought Ling Muyun a three-stone strong bow made by a skilled craftsman in the army and a pot of carved arrows, and Ling Muyun accepted it happily. At the moment, the people in the dart game are waiting for the people sent by Qingcheng to come to the door.
