Chapter 599: An Unexpected Mission
The sky has been bright, the fire has been burning all night, but the fire is still not weakening, countless black poisonous smoke visible to the naked eye stretches along the wind for many miles, even experienced craftsmen, and each brought a lot of detoxification pool water, at this time it is also a little unable to resist. At that moment, under the leadership of the young man, everyone avoided the direction of the positive wind and made a detour slowly.
"When you came out of the jungle, you must have brought all the dry food with you. Xiao Qianli briefly estimated the supplies, and said in a loud voice, "With these horses, you can go back to the Central Plains!"
Most of these craftsmen are experienced men, they looked at each other a few times, and immediately knelt down, kowtowing to Xiao Qianli with five bodies, Xiao Qianli waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's go on the road earlier, there are still hundreds of miles back to the Central Plains, and the road is deserted and populated, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry!" an old craftsman knelt up straight and said loudly, "Engong, don't worry, when we come out, we will bring out most of the grain, save some food, enough for us to return to the Central Plains." Although the road is barren, we don't worry about horses and grass, and we are all craftsmen, and we can't die of hunger!"
"That's good!" Xiao Qianli said with a smile, "I originally planned to take you to the camp to find some carriages, but now it seems that it has saved a lot of trouble." β
"Carriage?" several older craftsmen were chuckling, and someone shouted, "Engong is too worried, we have all the tools, as long as we find non-toxic trees, are we afraid that we won't be able to build a few carriages?"
Xiao Qianli thought for a while, recalled that when he flew hundreds of miles of wasteland, he also saw a lot of oak and maple trees, so he naturally didn't worry about the wood, and said with a smile: "No wonder with the cruelty of the Huns, you will also be raised, if you are used properly, it is enough to be thousands of troops." β
Everyone laughed, and kowtowed to Xiao Qianli under the leadership of several old men, and then they stood up with each other and led the horses to leave slowly.
Xiao Qian watched everyone leave, and was about to walk away, when suddenly a horse ran behind him, and the young craftsman was sitting on the horse's back, and he said curiously: "Huh, why don't you leave?"
The craftsman climbed off his horse and said loudly: "The villain knows that Engong will do great things, and he is willing to help Engong!"
"You help me?" Xiao Qianli chuckled and shook his head, "What can you do for me?"
The man shook his head stubbornly and said: "Engong doesn't know, although the villain is a craftsman, he has also lived in the territory of the Xiongnu for more than a year, can speak the Xiongnu dialect, knows their craftsman's workshop, and also knows the location of their ordnance. The hundreds of thousands of arrows we made before, if they were distributed, would inevitably cause great losses to our Han army, so the villain had the courage to beg Engong to take me forward and burn those poisonous arrows with one fire!"
Xiao Qianli was surprised by these words, looked the young man up and down a few times, and said with a smile: "You can see it thoroughly." It's just that you don't know martial arts, if you are killed by someone with an arrow, won't you lose your life unjustly?"
The man smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "The good teacher Engong learned that the villain's entire family of eleven people was killed cleanly, even if he went back, it would be boring." If you really die here, you will be gone!"
Xiao Qianli was silent for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Okay, you will show me the way, and when this seat is burned down and will be used as a camp, you can go after them by yourself!"
The corners of the man's mouth moved, hesitated, and nodded, "It's okay!"
Along the way, Xiao Qianli learned an astonishing news - these 500,000 poisoned arrows were just a part of the Huns' vigorous development of ordnance. In the past few years, the Huns have produced a genius master, named Harati Astana, under his auspices, the Huns have developed the Ming Feather Bow, the Sky Shooting Crossbow and other cavalry weapons, the bombardment cannon, the triangular well fence and other siege weapons are also being vigorously built.
The more Xiao Qianli listened, the more frightened he became, this kind of ordnance weapon, there is no doubt that it is for the Central Plains people, for a long time, in the field war, even the world's strongest soldier Zhenbei Army is only a draw with the Hun elite cavalry, further strengthening the role of the bow and crossbow, is the most powerful magic weapon for the Zhenbei Army heavy infantry cavalry. And the most restrained nomadic fortifications, under the advanced siege weapons, will also greatly weaken their effect.
"The villain saw with his own eyes, the sky-bombing cannon is similar to a giant catapult, which can easily throw a boulder 800 steps, the house collapses, and all the middle ones have broken tendons and fractures!"
"The villain was once recruited to make a sky-shooting repeater, the machine spring is strong, the components are exquisite, and within sixty steps, it is really unbreakable......
"This person named Harati can't stay!" Xiao Qianli's eyes flashed with coldness, how could such an ordnance talent allow him to live? At this moment, Harat Astana's role even surpassed Zuo Xianwang Huerduwei in Xiao Qianli's centrifugation.
"Fortunately, everything is in time!" Xiao Qianli was cold all over his body, and asked again and again, and finally learned that these ordnance had only been put into production in the past two years, and the output was insufficient, and it had not yet been distributed to various military camps, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qianli immediately said: "Let's move forward quickly, burn the poison arrow making workshop first, and then you take me to find those craftsman workshops!
"Recognize!" said the young craftsman, nodding his head, "I was drafted into a large camp in the hinterland of the northwest to make wooden pieces shortly after I was caught last year, and he once pointed out the dimensions of my components......
"Very good!" Xiao Qianli summoned the giant eagle and jumped up, "I'll take the first step, and I'll come to make peace with you after I burn the poisoned arrow!"
"Hey-" Before the young craftsman could speak, he saw that Xiao Qianli had already flown away without a trace on the eagle, and he stopped at the moment, scratched his head and said, "This benevolent prince is too anxious, I only know the general direction, but I don't know how far away......"
He thought about it, and immediately clumsily climbed on the horse's back and ran in the direction of the poison arrow workshop.
In less than half an hour, a fire had already burned not far away, and the young craftsman was surprised and admired, and muttered to himself: "Engong is really a man among the immortals, such a high ability, I don't know which immortal mountain it isββ"
Xiao Qianli smoked from afar, burned down the already empty Jiangzuo camp, and watched hundreds of thousands of poisonous arrows piled up in the camp warehouse burn to the ground, only then did he turn around and find the young craftsman who was still trudging on the road, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
One rode and one eagle, walked and stopped, unconsciously walked for four or five days, the terrain gradually had ups and downs, no longer a wasteland with a flat river, more cattle and sheep herdsmen, and some people.
"Where is this?" Xiao Qianli looked at the mountains in the south, and couldn't help but ask.
"It seems to be called the mountains of Malaysia,......" the young craftsman replied uncertainly, "or if it is called the mountains of Daqingshan, I can't remember." However, I do remember the name of this mountain range. β
"Yin Mountain!" (https:)
