June 5th.

Miscanthus species.

In the cottage deep in Daze Mountain, the people living in the cottage are the people of several villages outside Pingting County, that is, the family of the first batch of Shen Yongwei, and they are also called the descendants of Chen Xianshi by the latecomers.

Sun Meng, Lu Yuan and other warriors, as well as the families of craftsmen, also live in the cottage and focus on protection.

Those who joined later were all arranged in the city.

The 1,400 garrison prisoners of war trained by Gao Ming, of which more than 300 had excellent training results, have now been officially filled into the Shen Yongwei to fill them.

Rear of the cottage.

A sharp arrow burst out of the string, like brown lightning, and shot heavily into the pine tree a hundred paces away.

"Smack"

Suddenly, only the crisp sound of a tree cracking was heard, and then there was a boom, and the waist-thick pine tree fell in response, kicking up a puff of dust and smoke.

[Name: Chen Mo.] 】

[Age: 17.] 】

[Exercise: Ziyang Yuan Gong (proficient 121.8/10000).] 】

[Realm: Naqi (five products).] 】

[Strength: 712+36.] 】

[Skill: Great Day One Air Slash (Beginner 397288/5000000), Cloud Chasing Arrow (Beginner 4828/5000). 】

"Okay." The moment the tree fell, behind Chen Mo, there was a cheer.

"Immortal Master Chen's Divine Shooting!"

"Immortal Master Chen is mighty!"

"Good shot."

Hu Qiang, Hu Zhiyong and other nearly three hundred archers stared at Chen Mo with admiration.

Chen Mo put down the strong bow, and someone next to him stepped forward to take it, and he exhaled lightly: "This is the wind chasing arrow, everyone study hard, if you can't meet it, ask you Captain Hu, if you Captain Hu can't do it, let him ask me." ”

After this period of training, out of nearly two thousand Divine Guards, three hundred archers were selected.

Ten days ago, Chen Mo first taught the Wind Chasing Arrow to Hu Qiang, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Tie and other five people, and three days ago, Chen Mo taught the Wind Chasing Arrow to all the archers.

Chen Mo didn't expect them to succeed in cultivating, but if they could master some of the fur of the Wind Chasing Arrow, they would also be able to increase their accuracy a lot, which would be helpful for killing enemies in the future.

"No." The crowd shouted in unison.

"Keep practicing." Chen Mo saw Wang Ping come over with Zhang Xiaolou, the chief engineer of the arsenal, that is, the shopkeeper Zhang who had made him two Tang knives before.

After the arsenal was completed, Chen Mo promoted him to chief engineer, responsible for supervising all the craftsmen in the arsenal, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan.

The reason why it is so high is because Zhang Xiaolou opened a blacksmith shop before, and the net profit every month is nearly ten times.

This kind of skilled master, of course, has to be hired at a high price.

"But the Mingguang armor has been created?" Chen Mo looked at the dozen or so people following behind Wang Ping, each carrying a tray.

"Exactly, the county magistrate is really like a god." Zhang Xiaolou patted Chen Mo's ass.

Wang Ping, who was on the side, said with great pain: "County magistrate, this whole set of armor costs nearly forty yuan, and it is too wasteful to spend so much money." ”

After becoming the official of the Ya Gate Room, Wang Ping's title to Chen Mo changed from Chen Xianshi to the county magistrate, and so did Zhao Daoxian.

He is in charge of the county's finances, but he has a good idea of every expenditure, and it took nearly forty yuan just to build a pair of armor, and his blood is dripping blood, how much food can be bought.

Strategically, he had no foresight, he didn't think that if a soldier wore this armor, he might be able to save a life and kill a few more people, he thought that the person wearing armor would be killed by the enemy, and the armor would not be taken away by the enemy, which would be too wasteful.

"Forty times." Chen Mo was also surprised by this cost, if he wanted to wear all the members of the Divine Guard, wouldn't he have to run for 100,000 yuan.

"Find someone to put on and I'll see." Chen Mo said.

Wang Ping called a Shen Yong Wei and asked two more people to help him wear it.

Because there are too many accessories for the Mingguang armor, it has sixteen accessories such as treasure top, shoulder swallow, neck guard, shawl, chest armor, arm guard, shin armor, abdominal mirror armor, etc., and it is impossible to wear it alone.

Soon, with the help of the two of them, the Divine Guard soldiers finished putting on the Mingguang armor.

Although this Mingguang armor is still only an experimental specimen, it has not been colored, but it is already very beautiful, much more handsome than the plate armor they captured before, and the most important thing is that almost all parts of the body are wrapped, and some fatal parts are made of iron.

"I'll take a few steps and I'll see." Chen Mo knew that if he wanted to evaluate whether a piece of armor was good or not, he first had to see whether it was difficult for the soldier to wear it and walk in, whether the movement of each joint was smooth, and secondly, it was defensive.

The soldier could feel the weight of the armor, but it was not difficult to walk in.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, and said, "I'll take a few laps." ”

A school field was built on the mountain, which was an open field, and in normal times, Gao Ming would bring soldiers here for training.

Taking advantage of the gap between the soldiers running, Chen Mo asked how much this Ming Light armor weighed.

"The whole set is thirty-one pounds in total." Zhang Xiaolou replied.

It is recorded in the book that ordinary leather armor is ten catties, and the plate armor of the garrison is at this weight, and more than twenty catties can be called heavy armor.

Of course, calling it heavy armor does not mean that the soldiers are not suitable to wear, after all, there are more than fifty catties of armor, according to Gao Ming told him, the infantry armor worn by the Qingzhou army has reached sixty catties, but this kind of infantry armor can only be worn by the pro-soldiers at that time.

In short, if the armor is more than twenty catties, its defense is not bad.

"Can you lose this weight?" Chen Mo said.

"If you want to reduce it, you can only reduce the accessories." Zhang Xiaolou said.

Chen Mo thought about it and decided to call someone to call Gao Ming, in this regard, he is a layman and has to ask someone who understands.

Gao Ming was training in the village, and when he learned that Chen Mo was looking for him, he ran over non-stop.

At the same time, the soldier wearing the bright light armor was sitting in a squat.

Overall, the stretch of Mingguang armor is not bad.

After waiting for a while, Chen Mo asked him to put on the Mingguang armor and give some suggestions.

After Gao Ming tried it for a while, his eyes lit up a little, and he said: "Immortal Master Chen, the protection of this armor is simply amazing, it is the best protection of all the armors I have ever seen, it is not even comparable to the step armor, and it has extremely high elasticity and toughness." ”

Obviously, this set of Mingguang armor is higher than Mingdu, and he is very satisfied.

"What's the improvement?" Chen Mo asked.

"I think this set of armor uses too much iron, it is easy to rust, and the maintenance cost is relatively high, so you can use red copper as the main material, and it is good to have iron blades sandwiched in it, so that it can be stronger and lighter." Gao Ming thought for a moment and said.

"Quick, write it down." Chen Mo looked at Zhang Xiaolou.

"County magistrate, red copper is more expensive than pig iron, if you use red copper, the cost will increase a lot." Wang Ping reminded.

"Let's talk about the cost later, let's build it first." Since you want to build a strong army, how to build it.

"But this." Wang Ping has a bitter gourd face, he doesn't know the price of oil and rice, and now he can't wait to break a copper coin into two halves.

"Immortal Master Chen, I remember that Xia Lin has a cuprite mine, didn't we join the Heavenly Master Army, maybe you can ask them for some." Higher than Mingdao.

Before Chen Mo could speak, Wang Ping scolded: "Gaojiaotou, don't mention it, those bastards didn't treat us as their own people at all, originally the coarse salt we bought from Yuan Youchun was forty wen a catty, but now this bastard is sitting on the ground and the price has risen to sixty wen, if they know that we need red copper, I'm afraid they will sit on the ground and start the price again." ”

"Oh, there's something else." The things in charge are different, Gao Ming doesn't know about the price increase of coarse salt, but he knows that the main source of income in the county is the refining of coarse salt into refined salt, and he is worried: "Immortal Master Chen, will this have an impact on us?" ”

Gao Ming now truly regards himself as a member of the village, and during his time in the village, he feels that he lives like a person, and can be respected and admired by others.

When they were in the Qingzhou Army, the people privately called them Qiu Ba.

Because some of the people in the Qingzhou army are border soldiers, and some people even call them thieves and soldiers, they don't feel a trace of respect at all.

So much so that sometimes he can't feel the meaning of protecting his family and defending the country.

"Not yet." Chen Mo said, at this price, they still have to make money, but the other party's behavior is disgusting, and he is worried that the price will increase later.

"It's strange to say, why hasn't the Heavenly Master Army gone south yet? I've been here long enough, it's June now. Gao Ming wondered.

"If you want to go south, you have to take down Fengzhou, and if you want to fight Fengzhou, you have to cross the river, I guess they are building ships, which is not something that can be completed in a short time." Chen Mo said.

After occupying Pingting County, Chen Mo got a relatively simple map in the yamen, and if he wanted to go south, he had to cross the river.

"Then why don't they go around and go to the south by land?" Wang Ping interjected.

"Then they'll have to take a detour, and if someone cuts the back road and cuts off supplies, then it's completely over." Higher than Mingdao.

"I'll send Hu Qiang to contact Xia Lin, as long as it's lower than the market price, we'll ask for it." Seeing that the topic was a little far away, Chen Mo hurriedly stopped.

"No." Wang Ping is humane.

After Wang Ping and the others retreated, Chen Mo continued to shoot arrows.

[+1 for the number of archery, +1 experience for chasing cloud arrows.] 】

Chen Mo carried a quiver on his back, which contained hundreds of arrows, so that he didn't need to pick up the arrows after shooting, which could save a lot of time.

Soon, with the experience of chasing the arrow, he came (beginner 5000/5000. ）

A majestic memory poured into Chen Mo's mind, and in his memory, he saw the same boy who practiced his sword under the waterfall, the young man stood on the top of a towering mountain, holding a strong bow, and practiced archery against the white clouds in the distance day after day.

The white cloud, not stagnant, but moving, will dodge the arrows of the boy.

One day, the boy was successful in his studies, and the arrows he shot could be tracked, but the tracking distance was a little short.

[Skill: Great Day One Breath Slash (Beginner 397288/5000000), Cloud Chasing Arrow (Intermediate 0/50000). 】

Chen Mo used the cloud-chasing arrow to lock on a dragonfly that landed on the rattan fifty steps away, and then charged his strength, and when he shot it, he deliberately deflected.

But who would have thought that the arrow that shot out would be corrected by itself, and finally nailed the dragonfly on the rattan to the tree.

This is the effect of the Cloud Chaser Arrow, locking and tracking.

Just like the Demon Breaking Knife Method at that time, it could cut out the sword qi.

Chen Mo set up the arrow again, this time, he locked on the target a hundred steps away, and when he shot out, he shifted again, and this time, the arrow was not corrected again.

He missed the target and missed the target.
