Chapter 37: Heavy Mountain Armor (1)
Before the morning mist dissipated, Zhang Jing led a team of soldiers and horses to appear outside Wangshan City. After sending people to reach the city, the soldiers defending the city opened the city gate wide, lined up in full spirit to welcome Zhang Jing into the city, and escorted him to the outside of the county king's mansion.
Outside the house, Fei Shi and Bai Wen were already waiting.
"Radical forgiveness!" As soon as Fei Shi saw Zhang Jing, he finished his salute and said: "My subordinates are in a hurry to attack the city, and they need to stabilize the security in the city, so they can't go out of the city to greet them in person, please forgive the subordinates!"
"You can conquer Wangshan City in just three days, what is the crime?" Zhang Jingpi replied with a smile.
He had long heard that the Xuanzi Battalion was unfavorable for the first attack on the city, and he prepared troops and horses. Just wait for three days to pass, Fei Shi and Bai Wen, who failed to complete the task, will be captured and killed immediately, and then reported to the commandery. It is so that I can feel the mountain city in such an early morning. It must be known that the main force of the Dragon Wing Army is at least twenty miles away from Wangshan City.
can't go out for the two of them for a righteous and bright reason, Zhang Jing is quite unhappy in his heart. But on the surface, he pretended to be happy, and talked with Fei Shi and Bai Wen in the county king's mansion.
During the banquet, Zhang Jing asked about the siege of the city at night, and he was very puzzled, why the Xuanzi Battalion was able to suddenly break the city?
"As early as the day before yesterday, when Bai Wen and the city lord of Wangshan were fighting outside the city, I selected two teams of soldiers, waited for the opportunity to disguise themselves during the melee, blended into Wangshan City, and agreed on a time and code. Entrusted to the leader Hongfu, this move was successful, and the first battle was pacified in Wangshan City, and it lived up to the entrusted responsibility!" Fei Shi said eloquently, plainly.
However, how can the planning, calculation, and thrilling of the normal war situation be said in these three words?
"What a Fei Shi, he really deserves to be a wise man who even praises the commanders!" Zhang Jing raised his glass in admiration, "But why didn't you raise things on the eve of yesterday? Wouldn't it be better to raise things early and break through the city as soon as possible?"
"The day before yesterday, Wangshan City was defeated, and we must be worried that we will sneak attack at night, and the patrol must be very close, and it may not be possible to act rashly, so I chose last night. Fei Shi replied.
"Fei Yingshou, thoughtful, calm Wangshan City, should be the first credit! I will send the war report to the commandery, I must reward you greatly!" Zhang Jing's eyes glanced at Bai Wen intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say: You are just not as good as Fei Shi, I just won't give you a reward.
Bai Wen only cared about drinking and eating meat, he was already very tired from the fierce battle last night, how could he bother to pay attention to Zhang Jing's divisive plan.
Fei Shi hurriedly raised his glass and said, "Don't dare to expect a reward, these are all things that subordinates should do." If it weren't for your support, how would the Xuanzi Battalion be able to break through Wangshan City? When it comes to meritorious service, the pacification of Wangshan County should also be the first of the contributions!"
Fei Shi slapped a gentle sycophant, Zhang Jing was very useful, and couldn't help nodding in approval.
Only Bai Wen, who only cares about eating and drinking, completely ignores the various customs in the answer.
The fierce battle has receded, and the wounds left by Wangshan City are gradually healing. There was no post-war soldier robbery in the city, mainly due to Fei Shi's strict restraint on his subordinates, and no soldiers rushed to the end of the battle, did not listen to the commandments, and caused trouble.
With the sun shining, Wangshan City gradually regained its vitality, and the residents were bustling and began to live as usual.
Bai Wen wandered leisurely on the road in the city, and when he passed the city lord's mansion, he saw the soldiers guarding the gate, driving away an old man.
"I've told you many times that this place has been sealed off and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The soldiers in front of the city lord's mansion shouted impatiently at the old man.
The old man was quite stubborn, and did not leave, but put down the wooden box behind him, sat down without saying a word. looks like he won't reach his goal and won't give up.
"You old man, you are really stubborn!" the soldier carried Tong Ge and stepped forward to drive away, "If it weren't for the military order, it is strictly forbidden to clash with the residents of the city, believe it or not, a guy like you who obstructs military affairs would have been killed a long time ago!"
"Don't be rude!" Bai Wen stepped forward and stopped the soldier's further movements in time.
"Yes!" the soldier respectfully saluted Bai Wen and returned to his post.
"Old man, why do you have to enter the City Lord's Mansion? The troops have already issued an order to seal off the entire City Lord's Mansion and not allow them to enter or leave. If it doesn't matter, you might as well go back. ”
"Of course I have something to do. The old man read a lot of white texts, and felt that the officer in front of him was quite polite.
"There is no one in this city lord's mansion anymore. You can tell me what you want!"
"Looking for you?" the old man looked at Bai Wen suspiciously, "Okay?"
"My name is Bai Wen, and I am the deputy commander of the Xuanzi Battalion. If you have anything, just say it, if I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"
Bai Wen's face was sincere, and the old man also let down his guard, and said: "That's the case, a few days ago, the city lord went out of the city to fight, and his ancestral armor 'Heavy Mountain' was seriously damaged, and it was paid to me for repair. Now that the armor has been repaired, I sent it back. However, these soldiers guarding the gate just didn't allow me to enter the city lord's mansion to make errands. This 'heavy mountain' armor is extremely precious, if there is anything missing in my hands, the decay can't afford it!"
After the old man finished speaking, Bai Wen already understood what was going on, and said, "The original city lord has fled and will not come back." You can keep that armor for yourself or sell it. ”
After hearing this, the old man became anxious and said: "My money blacksmith said, I regard Xinnuo as more important than life, how can I do something that is greedy for ink and treasures?
"Well, the old gentleman is not only highly skilled, but also of high moral character, which I really admire!" he said, giving the former blacksmith a thumbs up and approving.
The money blacksmith did not move the meaning of this gesture, and also gave Bai Wen a thumbs up.
"Now that the Xuanzi Battalion is in charge of the affairs of the city, this 'heavy mountain' may as well be handed over to me for safekeeping, and when we find the former city lord, we will hand it over to him, how about it?"
"That's the best!" said the money blacksmith, who was very happy, brought over the box containing the armor and handed it to Bai Wen.
Bai Wen reached out to carry the box, but the money blacksmith pressed the lid of the wooden box.
"Why is this?" Now that you've given me everything, can't you take a look?
"General, you don't know. The money blacksmith grinned, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, and said: "When the former city lord handed over the armor to me for repair, he promised to pay 1,800 gold coins for repairs, and in addition to the 800 gold coins deposit given at that time, there are still 1,000 gold coins that have not been paid!"
"How much do you say the repair cost?" Bai Wen thought his ears had misheard.
"One thousand and eight gold coins, there is still a thousand gold coins missing. The money blacksmith was sure.
"If it weren't for your age, raising prices like this would be enough for you to stay in prison for three months!" Bai Wen pointed to the blacksmith, indignant.
"If the general knew the origin of 'Heavy Mountain', he would not have thought that the repair cost would be expensive. ”
"Tell me. ”
"According to rumors, thousands of years ago, there was an active Warcraft Legion on the mainland, called the 'Sky Wolf Legion'. This legion is not affiliated with any country, but it is extremely powerful, and the 'Sirius Legion' in its heyday can even influence the situation of the two empires. The reason why they are so powerful is because their master is the 'wolf god' Tai. The core of the 'Sky Wolf Legion' Demon Wolf Cavalry Regiment is to use the 'Heavy Mountain' as the standard armor, and the three thousand Demon Wolf Cavalry swept the world, and even the most powerful Dragon Knight Legion at that time was not an opponent. ”
"In addition to its own amazing defense, the Heavy Mountain Armor is also a secret weapon. Once you reach a certain number, you can activate the formations in your armor, and when you charge, you can crush everything. It's just that with the wolf god's status, he has achieved godhood. The Celestial Wolf Legion also gradually declined, and eventually disintegrated and disappeared. As the heavy weapon of the Demon Wolf Legion, the heavy mountain armor is also scattered everywhere, and it has long been unable to be combined into the formation of the year. ”
"The ancestor of the former city lord was fortunate enough to get one, and he regarded it as a family heirloom, and never displayed it easily, let alone used it for battle. Despite this, this heavy mountain still suffered two heavy losses. ”
"I know this, the second time I hit it, the defense is average, I haven't used much force, I beat it into potholes, just like this, the armor of defense power, it can't be worth a thousand and eight gold coins. Bai Wen waved his fist, feeling quite satisfied.
"General Bai, the reason why you were able to easily dent this armor is actually because after the first heavy injury, this armor was not properly repaired at all! If the former city lord wore the heavy mountain that I repaired, you might not be able to hurt the armor in the slightest!" said Qian Blacksmith proudly.
Bai Wen had a feeling of being slighted.
"You said that other people's wounds were not repaired, and you repaired them?"
"Yes!" said the blacksmith affirmed, "In the entire Wangshan County, no one but me can repair this armor!" I told the father of the former city lord before, but he didn't listen. This time, in order to repair it, I made a lot of money, and I used three taels of Mithril alone, and I added the Meteorite Iron that I had treasured for many years. These materials alone are worth 1,080 gold coins. If the general doesn't believe me, just give it a try!"
"How do you try?"
"You just hit the armor with your fist, and if you can make a dent again, I won't take any of the repair money this time. ”
"Okay, then give it a try!" Bai Wen took out the armor, placed it in the corner, rubbed his fists, and was about to do it.
"Wait a minute!" Blacksmith Qian stopped Bai Wen again, "If you can't make a dent, is the general willing to make up the rest of the repair money to me?"
