Chapter 30 [Relaxation of Armament]

Youzhou Armory, where all kinds of ordnance and equipment built by Youzhou City over the years are stored.

According to common sense, this place is not heavily guarded, at least it should be protected by a team of elite soldiers.

However, when Li Wen came here with Wei Bao in high spirits, he was completely stunned by everything here.

The harsh environment is barren to the point of almost long grass, and there are idle guards with big cats and small cats.

It's as if this isn't a heavily guarded armory, but rather an ordinary warehouse.

Seeing everything that was happening in front of him, Li Wen's face suddenly became ugly and said, "I have long heard that this Youzhou city defense army has been peaceful for a long time, and its armament is relaxed!"

But I didn't expect it to be like this! ”

Hearing Li Wen's evaluation, Wei Bao's face was also uncomfortable at this moment, after all, they came here in high spirits, not to see the jokes of the soldiers under the commander of the state governor.

They had come here to obtain the armory's armaments and to arm their existing Ghost King army.

Only in this way can those soldiers who are still training with wooden weapons be able to have full combat capability.

However, the rush of interest ushered in a disillusioned result, which no one can bear.

"Let's go! I'd like to see what the inside looks like, and there are 3,000 nails in the rotten ship!

Today I'm going to pick out these 3,000 nails! ”

It will soon be the time for the barbarians to attack, and what Li Wen lacks most now is a large number of weapons and equipment.

Because of the poor quality of the steel, firearms cannot be realized at all with Li Wen's current technical reserves.

Therefore, at this stage of transition, Li Wen still needs to apply local sword and weapon equipment to deal with this war.

So under the leadership of Li Wen, Wei Bao and other soldiers rushed all the way to the direction of the armory.

The menacing crowd suddenly made the guards at the armory become nervous, and hurriedly picked up the old sword in his hand that had been rusting for an unknown amount of time.

nervously shouted at the arriving Li Wen: "What kind of person, dare to trespass into the ordnance site without permission!"

Don't you want to die!! ”

Seeing that someone came out to stop him, Li Wen glanced at the person who spoke up.

After all, anyone can see that Li Wen's menacing people are not easy to mess with.

The brave guards had long since gone into hiding, and only an old veteran still had some courage.

Looking at this old veteran, Li Wen instructed Wei Bao beside him: "Don't embarrass him too much!"

Go and pull the garrison general out of here! ”

Immediately with Li Wen's order, Wei Bao waved his hand and asked a few strong soldiers to pull the veteran down.

Immediately, he asked a few more timid soldiers who were cowering, and only then did he drag a fat garrison general who looked like he was full of fat at a glance.

"Spare your life! Spare your life!

It's none of my business here, it's not my doing! ”

Seeing this fat guy begging for mercy, Li Wendang, who was angry, stepped forward even if he stepped forward.

The huge force directly turned it into a rolling gourd, rolling out at Li Wen's big feet.

Immediately, Li Wen asked people to pull it back!

Then before this guy could open his mouth to beg for mercy again, Li Wen opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Did I ask you something?

You just say that this is not your business!!

Now I ask, you answer!

If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll have your head!!

Do you understand?

Understand, just nod! ”

casually pulled out a long knife from the waist of the soldier beside him, and Li Wen put the knife on the neck of this guy and commanded.

The garrison general, who was suddenly shocked by Li Wen's momentum, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned around when Li Wen was about to make a ruthless move.

That frightened look even made people feel a little pitiful for a while.

But Li Wenke was not confused by this guy!

Instead, he asked directly: "Are you the garrison general here, do you have the key to the armory in your hand, and there are several complete sets of equipment and armor here, and how many people are there in the garrison here......"

With Li Wen's series of questions, the fat garrison general's face was in a cold sweat.

Immediately, after a period of hesitation, the fat garrison general said with a sad face: "I am indeed the garrison general here, my name is Wu Jiang, and I also have the key here!"

But I don't know anything else! ”

The garrison general Wu Jiang's answer made Li Wen's head suddenly dizzy, and then he asked again angrily.

"You are the person in charge here, you told me that you don't know the specific situation here, what are you doing to eat!!

However, in the face of Li Wen's angry scolding, Wu Jiang also muttered in a low voice: "I don't come here often, how do I know the situation here, everyone does this, why ask me a ......?"

Although Wu Jiang's muttering voice was very small, Li Wen still heard it, so Li Wen changed hands and threw him to Wei Bao.

Then he commanded sharply: "This person is handed over to you, drag me down and beat me hard!"

I want to know what he's doing here, and I'll find the key to the armory!" ”

"Yes, King!"

Wei Bao hurriedly obeyed.

With Wu Jiang's bad performance, Li Wen is too lazy to have the leisure to play a game with this guy I ask you to answer, since this is a feudal hierarchical society, then speak directly with the rules of this world.

So with Wei Bao's deeds, accompanied by Wu Jiang's screams, a large amount of key information was soon pulled out of Wu Jiang's mouth.

It's just that this intelligence information is also extremely rudimentary, because according to the answer Wei Bao got from Wu Jiangzui!

Wu Jiang is really a wine bag and rice bag, since he became the garrison general, he hasn't worked for a few days!

The only few days of work I had was the weapons and equipment in the armory, which were resold for a large amount of money.

It seems that it has become a golden mountain for wine bags and rice bags like Wujiang, who frequently make money.

After getting the news, Li Wen also felt that he was very unlucky, and finally won the command of the city defense army, and thought that the problem of weapons and equipment had been solved temporarily.

But now it seems that the problem still exists, and it is still getting bigger and bigger as Levine continues to explore.

Squeak!

As the bronze lock that sealed the door of the armory opened, a dusty smell came to the face.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"

A large amount of dust rushed to their faces, causing Li Wen and Wei Bao to unconsciously let out a violent cough.

Then they looked at the inside of the armory, but they were completely stunned.

There was not a single complete piece of armor as far as the eye could see, and a large number of swords had fallen to ashes and rusted, as if there was no one to maintain them here, and the ropes that braided the connections of the armor were violently corroded.

Looking at the harsh environment in front of him, Li Wen couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that I am too optimistic about it!"

The situation in the armory also put Wei Bao in a dilemma, without enough weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness of the Youwang Army was always a joke.

Let such a young army go on the field to fight the barbarians, and not give them enough weapons and armor to defend themselves.

This is simply sending these recruits to their deaths!

Fortunately, this problem was discovered early enough, otherwise it would be completely over when the war really started!

So Wei Bao, who had palpitations, asked Li Wen, "King, what should I do next?"

Hearing Wei Bao's inquiry, Li Wen also wanted to ask what to do, but he couldn't speak directly like this.

As the backbone, he must give Wei Bao and others enough confidence, only in this way can their group maintain enough cohesion.

So Li Wen thought for a while and said, "You send a few people to guard here!"

I'll go to the craftsman division in Youzhou City and see what kind of coping methods are there! ”

Immediately, Li Wen left here directly.

Like a lightning bolt, after leaving the armory, Li Wen didn't even eat lunch.

It was a puff of smoke that came to the place where the craftsman division was!

This is the place responsible for building ordnance, and as long as it is still working, then everything can still be saved!

And when Li Wen came to the Craftsman Division with hope, Li Wen couldn't help but sigh after seeing everything in the Craftsman Division.

Compared to the situation of the armory, which has little maintenance, the situation of the Craftsman Division is much better.

At least there's a lot going on here!

The flames in the furnace were still strong, and the clanging of iron was endless, but it was not the swords, guns, and halberds used in military battles that were forged here.

Instead, it's an iron farming tool used for farming!

Seeing this scene happening, Li Wen sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but say to himself: "It's better than nothing, at least it's not a complete waste here!"

So in the next period of time, Li Wen, as the king of You, directly summoned the director of the craftsman department to come for questioning.

……

"King Qiyu, Song Yun, the head of the Craftsman Division!

I don't know why the king summoned his subordinates to come? ”

In front of Li Wen, Song Yun, the head of the Craftsman Division, asked cautiously.

Hearing Song Yun's words, Li Wen also got straight to the point: "I want to restart the ordnance building of the Craftsman Division!"

Director Song, you should know a lot about this!

Tell me, what kind of conditions are required for this?

Don't tell me you don't know! ”

With the bad impression brought by the previous armory garrison general Wu Jiang, Li Wen also had a prejudice against Song Yun.

But fortunately, the officials in this Youzhou City are not all wine bags and rice bags, after hearing Li Wen's request, Song Yun took a deep look at Li Wen.

Then he said the specific conditions fluently!

And these conditions can be summed up in only three aspects, that is, enough money, enough people, and the supply of various raw materials needed to build ordnance.

Hearing Song Yun's detailed reply, Li Wen suddenly showed a slight smile and said, "If I raise all these conditions for you, can you supply all the ordnance and equipment that this king needs in a short period of time?"

In the face of Li Wen's inquiry, Song Yun pondered for a moment and replied rationally: "Report to the king, you can't!"

Song Yun's answer made the corners of Li Wen's mouth smile, and then he stood up and said: "You are a sincere person, you don't even boast about Haikou to others in order to get into the world!"

"The king said with a smile, ordnance building is different from ordinary things, if you can't do it, you can't do it!

If you forcibly chase the so-called good and great achievements, you will definitely usher in the punishment of falling short in the end! ”

Song Yun replied calmly.

In the face of these words, Li Wen glanced at Song Yun, and Song Yun also looked at Li Wen's eyes calmly.

In this way, Li Wen and Song Yun stared at each other for a while, and then Li Wen spoke: "Okay, I like your honesty!"

In this way, I'll teach you a technique to increase yield!

But it's top secret, so don't let anyone else know! ”

With Li Wen's opening, Song Yun immediately thought that Li Wen was joking with himself.

You must know that he Song Yun has been immersed in this craftsman division for many years, and the current ironmaking technology is already the best technology at present.

Besides, he is a craftsman who has been immersed in the craftsman department for many years, and he is still unable to innovate the existing technology.

How could Li Wen, a high-ranking king, exert his power in this field that has never been involved.

So for a while, Song Yun couldn't help but look down on Li Wen, thinking that the king in front of him was just a person who talked big.

However, as soon as the connoisseur made a move, he knew if there was any, and Li Wen confided all the blast furnace ironmaking technology.

Immediately, Song Yun was shocked for a while!
