Chapter 41: The Caravan Is Coming

Hearing this, Ji Liang no longer hesitated, his muscular arms and muscles burst out, and he opened his bow with arrows and aimed at the improvised arrow target a hundred steps away.

The bow was like a full moon and an arrow like a meteor, and a streamer flashed with a 'whoosh', and the target three hundred meters away 'snapped' through a big hole.

But the Mitsubishi arrows shot out were inexhaustible, until they pierced into the earthen wall of earth and gravel farther behind, and pierced into the body of the arrow, and the remaining wings vibrated in mid-air.

"Tsk, that's a lot of strength"

Xu Chuan looked at the arrow target, then at Ji Liang, and praised it.

You must know that the bow, he just tried it, and he can only pull it away a little, and he doesn't have to think about pulling it directly into a full moon like Ji Liang, he can't do it at all, and he can't kick it with his feet.

An arrow was shot, Ji Liang's eyes were full of joy, but then he thought of something, turned his head and said: "Commander, this bow is excellent, but the power of opening the bow requires at least two stones, and I am afraid that few of the three thousand guards can use it." ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, the bow in your hand is custom-made, there are only more than ten of them, and they are specially used by people with infinite strength like you." ”

"As for the rest of the town guards." As he spoke, Xu Chuan took out another bow and said, "The one I use is usually the one I have." ”

"This one in my hand is much lighter than yours, and it can be pulled away with about sixty or seventy pounds. For most town guards, this should be appropriate. ”

As soon as Xu Chuan stretched out his hand, he took a Mitsubishi arrow, put it on the bow, pulled the string with some difficulty, opened the bow halfway, and aimed at the paper target not far away.

It's a pity that he has never practiced archery, and he doesn't know where the arrow flies when he goes down, anyway, there is no paper target.

Seeing this, Xu Chuan was a little embarrassed, and his face also felt a little burning, coughed, and bypassed the topic.

"Uncle Ji, I came to you today, whether it is to change weapons for the town guards, there is another thing that needs to be dealt with by the town guards."

"Huh? Commander, please command. Ji Liang paused for a moment, and then reacted and said with a straight face.

"Just two or three of us, all of us are our own people, don't be so serious." Xu Chuan waved his hand.

"I came to you to ask the town guards to help ease the work of those blacksmith uncles outside. The difficulty of processing a good weapon, Uncle Ji, you know better than me, not only to forge and adjust, but also to polish the blade and install the handle or something. ”

"Although the work of forging and adjusting something can't be done by the town guards, it shouldn't be a problem to polish the blade and add the handle or something. This speeds up the making of knives and eases the work of the master blacksmiths. ”

"There's nothing wrong with this, it's not difficult to sharpen the knife and install the handle, and it's enough for the town guards to take an hour out of their daily training."

Ji Liang nodded, he didn't care about Xu Chuan's initial words, he focused on the follow-up business, but Jing Ruyi, who was standing on the side, secretly glanced at Xu Chuan, and said that he was a little happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face.

.......

A group of guards were transferred, and every day they transported the corrected knife embryos of the blacksmiths from the ironworks to the barracks, and then polished them by hand.

All of a sudden, the barracks were filled with whetstones and buckets, and the sound of Huo Huo's sharpening of knives was endless, and the three thousand town guards had to spare an hour of training time every day to sharpen their knives.

With the fierce men of the town guards, the cold weapons of swords, guns and spears were quickly equipped to the bodies of every town guard.

The steelworks were running day and night, and the molten steel was flowing out, but in a week, all the guards were equipped with thirty sabers or weapons.

This treatment, all the town guards of Le smiled, and the previous weapons were directly thrown away and thrown to the ironworks for recycling and forging.

The days went by, and every day the equipment of the guards was updated as the ironworks were running at full capacity.

Xu Chuan also waited for the transit caravan he had been waiting for, and the special team that had been planted rushed back to the two of them quickly, telling him that there was a large-scale caravan that was only about twenty or thirty kilometers away from Sanzhi Town.

"Woo~...... Woo~......"

In the barracks, which had been quiet for almost two months, the horn sounded again.

The town guards who were training in various parts of the barracks quickly assembled, 3,000 town guards, leaving 500 elite guards outside the town, and the other soldiers quickly lined up and ran out along the main road.

Only this time they were not going to meet the enemy, but to receive those caravans.

It is the fastest and best way to get the caravan to obey the arrangement, obediently settle in the inn specially built for them, and show them their strength.

After nearly two months of training, the originally chaotic and disorderly guards can now march in formation, although they are only infantry, but from the sound of neat and uniform steps, you can hear that this is an army with strong combat effectiveness.

.......

Regardless of the area, a caravan like a long dragon was slowly advancing along the main road.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper, where is the shopkeeper?"

In front of the caravan, a pathfinder galloped back on horseback, and when he encountered a large caravan that looked like a distant horizon, he rushed directly to the leading man, and without even getting off the horse, he yelled at the leading man.

"The shopkeeper is in the back, what's wrong?"

The guy who was yelled at said stunned.

Hearing that he had returned, the fellow who had returned from exploring the path ignored his peers at all, and galloped towards the center of the caravan.

At the same time, in the carriage in the center of the caravan, two figures, one thin and one fat, were discussing things.

"Lao Li, twenty or thirty miles ahead is Sanzhi Town, according to the past situation, we should have encountered the earth dragon entrenched here."

"But now there is no one on this road at all, this is not normal, I suspect that the earth dragon and they are likely to occupy the town or ambush us, so we must be careful next."

In the carriage, a shopkeeper Han Tian, who looked a little dark, but had a strong body, said with his round neck in his arms, and his fat face was full of worry and worry.

"What the shopkeeper said makes sense, but don't worry too much, we have been traveling north and south for so many years, and we have seen all kinds of storms."

"And this time he deliberately brought more than a thousand guards, plus those good guys in the caravan, even if Tulong wants to fight us, it's not so..."

In the carriage, another man who was relatively thin said that although Lao Li was in his fifties, he was still shrewd and strong, and he was responsible for the security of the entire caravan.

But before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the roar of the guy outside, who seemed to be quite panicked when he heard the man's hurried voice.
