Chapter 019: Preparing for War
Leaving Yunyin Peak, Qin Feng and the others carefully examined the blades they had obtained from the Hero's Tomb, and found that each one was a peerless divine weapon.
Qin Feng's black spear was engraved with the words "Destroying the Heavens", and it turned out to be the weapon of the first warrior Long Shu under the command of the ancient demon king Chi You. It is said that this spear is made of refined iron refined from meteorites outside the sky, and the head of the spear is made of the divine iron that fell from the giant axe of the Pangu God at the time of the opening of the world, and it is extremely sharp enough to pierce any armor.
Yuan Yun's bow and arrow is called "Piercing Clouds", and it is also an ancient artifact. According to legend, it was made by Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor himself. This longbow has shot many demon masters in the war of gods and demons, and it is famous all over the world. His long sword is also very famous, called "Xingchen", which is the sword of a god in the upper realm, and his hair is extremely sharp.
This trip not only met the life and death brother Mo Bing, but also got a few competent divine soldiers, and everyone was happy.
......
Three days after leaving Qinjia Village, Qin Feng and Yuan Yun returned triumphantly with a harvest that far exceeded expectations. The addition of Mo Bing made Qin Feng completely let go of the big stone in his heart. With this master of the Mo family who is proficient in mechanical arts, he has a lot more confidence in dealing with the eight hundred robbers in Xie Jiazhai.
The affairs of Qinjia Village were in good order under Zhang Tianliang's arrangement. The villagers are still in full swing to build fortifications, and arrowheads and pieces of iron for cotton armor are also being baked in the blacksmith shop. The old village chief and Qin Yu came back from the county seat, and they not only brought back sixty steel knives and spear heads, but also got back a lot of thistles. Outside Qinjia Village is a rice field and flat meadow. Throwing thistles in these meadows can greatly slow down the enemy's attack.
After checking everything, Qin Feng took Mo Bing to Zhang Zhong's bow and arrow workshop. Mo Bing tried the newly made bow and arrow, and he could shoot a distance of about one hundred and ten paces. It was already very good that a homemade bow and arrow could have this effect, but Mo Bing was not satisfied. He added two pieces of iron to the two stress points on his arched back, and then asked Qin Feng to try again. As a result, the arrow flew directly to a distance of one hundred and forty paces. This is already the same range as the standard longbow in the army. Zhang Zhong admired this, and hurriedly modified all the bows and arrows that had been made according to Mo Bing's method.
The drawings for the catapult and ballista had already been drawn, and Zhang Zhong arranged for some villagers who knew how to carpenter to start making them day and night.
All the auxiliary work before the war was carried out in an orderly manner. The training of new recruits is now a top priority. Bows and arrows, knives and guns were already in place, and Yuan Yun began to teach the recruits archery. And Qin Feng was training in spears.
Qin Feng had his own set of methods for training pikemen. All recruits only need to practice one move, the step-up thrust. But he has very high requirements for this action, which must be fast, accurate, and ruthless.
All the recruits on the school field lined up in a row, and in front of them was a row of scarecrows. The scarecrow stands on a conveyor belt and moves from side to side. Each scarecrow's chest was hollowed out and inlaid with a stone.
Qin Feng demanded that the recruits must stab the moving scarecrow in the heart with every thrust they stepped up, and they had to stab the stones.
The stone at the heart of the scarecrow is only the size of a fist, and it is constantly moving on the conveyor belt, making it difficult to stab. At the end of the first day, each of the recruits had stabbed at least ten thousand shots at the scarecrow, and the scarecrow was stabbed to shreds, but none of them could stab the stone in the heart, let alone stab it.
The next day it was about the same. The recruits raised their guns, stepped up, and stabbed the same movements tens of thousands of times. But there are still very few people who can stab the stone. Everyone's arms were no longer lifted.
The same was true on the third day, where each recruit was exhausted but still unable to accurately stab the moving scarecrow in the heart.
The recruits began to complain that the scarecrow could move so fast and the heart was so small that it could be stabbed with a single shot.
Qin Feng didn't talk nonsense, and came to the middle of the school with his newly acquired "Heaven Destroying" spear.
The "Heaven Destroying" spear is pitch black all over, and even the long tassel on the head of the spear is as black as ink, and I don't know what it is made of. This spear usually looks very inconspicuous, but the moment Qin Feng held it and stood in the middle of the school field, the recruits around him immediately felt a terrifying aura coming from the spear. At this time, Qin Feng was also like two people at the same time. On weekdays, everyone saw Qin Feng with a playful face and no positive shape, but at this time, his face was full of solemnity, and his eyes were full of breathtaking cold light.
Qin Feng stood in the middle of the school yard with the "Heaven Destroying" spear in one hand, exuding an endless murderous aura all over his body, like an undefeated demon god.
Yuan Yun smiled at Mo Bing on the side: "I have always thought that Qin Madman is not very likable. But I don't know why, as soon as he holds the spear, his whole person changes and becomes very cute. ”
Mo Bing: "Indeed, this bastard is like a different person as long as he has a spear in his hand. ”
Qin Feng asked the recruits to take off the scarecrow from the conveyor belt and stand at a distance of about ten paces and throw it at their side.
A recruit wanted to see him make a fool of himself and deliberately threw the scarecrow with his back to him. Didn't you want us to stab the scarecrow in the heart with one shot?
There was a muffled "poof".
The recruit was stupid, he hadn't seen what was going on yet. Qin Feng's spear had inexplicably penetrated the scarecrow's heart from the front.
"Vote me ten at a time. Qin Feng shook his hand and shook off the scarecrow on the tip of the gun, and shouted loudly at the recruits.
Ten scarecrows flew over.
The recruits on the school grounds saw a scene that they will never forget. Qin Feng swam and shuttled through the scarecrow like lightning. The Sky Destroyer spear stabbed the small stone in the scarecrow's chest with great precision again and again, as if it had eyes, and each hit stabbed the stone to pieces.
No one could see Qin Feng's movements clearly, only the scarecrows flying in the sky and the dazzling black shadows of gunshots, as well as the bursts of flying ash and dust that had been blasted out of the stabbed stones.
After an instant, all the scarecrows in the sky landed, and Qin Feng put away his gun and stood quietly in the middle of the school field, as if he had never moved.
All the recruits were stunned, they knew that Qin Feng was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so powerful. Each of the ten scarecrows flying was stabbed in the heart, and each shot was so powerful that it stabbed the stone to pieces.
"There is nothing special about marksmanship, as long as you practice hard, you will get results. The day when Xie Jiazhai came to attack is not far away. I don't ask you to be like me. But you have to practice the simple action of stepping up and thrusting. Remember, if you practice endlessly, you will succeed. When the time comes, this action will work wonders on the battlefield. ”
In the days that followed, the recruits continued to raise their guns, step up, and thrust at the same time. Finally, hundreds of thousands of exercises paid off. Ten days later, people began to stab moving scarecrows in the heart. Fifteen days later, the vast majority of people were able to hit. By the time they reached twenty days, almost everyone was able to hit the target effectively. And after countless repeated exercises, the recruits' arms became calm and powerful. Many of them have been able to smash stones.
As the days passed, Qin Shuang's cotton armor had been made. The women of Qinjia Village are indeed skillful, and Qin Feng was full of praise as soon as he saw this batch of homemade cotton nails. It is a purple cotton armor of all colors, and there is a fiery red Qin character on the chest. Each piece of cotton armor has iron plates embedded in the chest, shoulders, arms, and even neck. The cotton armor is sewn very exquisitely, and there is basically nothing unusual after inlaying the iron sheet, which is very beautiful.
Mo Bing's catapults and ballistas were also completed, but due to limited resources, they were smaller than those used by the army. But it was enough to guard the village.
The city fortifications built by Zhang Tianliang and the villagers came to an end. Although the low wall was not built to more than three zhang. However, the trench under the city was dug two battles wide and one zhang deep, which basically met Qin Feng's requirements.
All the pre-war preparations have been completed, and we are only waiting for the eighth day of September to fight to the death with Xie Jiazhai.
