Chapter 104: Salted Fish Castle
The potential of a person is truly endless.
Before dawn on the second day, these hundreds of crossbowmen, who were already frightened, had already rushed out of five hundred miles in one go and rushed to the salted fish fort, which is not an exaggeration to describe as losing their armor.
When Duan Heng carried the corpse of a yellow-skinned man, under the glow of the morning glow, he appeared outside the salted fish castle calmly, and what he saw was the crossbowmen lying on the ground, extremely embarrassed, whether they were strong or thin, male or female, all of them were snorting, rolling their eyes and panting.
And outside the huge gate of Salted Fish Castle, a man was scolding like thunder.
"Ridiculous, pathetic, shameful! You trash, you deserve to be garrisoned in my salted fish fort? ”
Duan Heng stood still from afar, watching a play, looking at the magnificent fortress in front of him indifferently, well, this was something he didn't expect, although the name of this salted fish castle is funny, but it is really a very formal, and quite large-scale tun fort.
And it can be seen that this fort also draws on the very famous fortress system on the earth, the city wall, the arrow tower, the city gate, the dark fort, the shooting hole, the trench outside the city, the various systems are closely connected, although the overall defense looks inferior to the mountain ghost county, but this is definitely a hard bone, the kind that can break teeth when bitten up.
In addition, outside this salted fish castle, you can see a large area of fairy rice fields, as well as sparse trees, and the occasional farmer passing by.
All this shows that this salted fish castle is very rich.
Not to mention that Duan Heng also vaguely saw the cold light flickering out of the morning glow on the arrow tower of the city wall.
It's kind of interesting.
It's no wonder that only 300 of their very rubbish crossbowmen were dispatched to garrison, and the salted fish fort itself has a very strong defensive capability.
"Come, hang them all for me, ten lashes for those who are disheveled, fifty lashes for those with incomplete weapons and armor, and one hundred lashes for those who discard all weapons and armor!
After scolding violently, the man finally did not drive away the crossbowmen, and then, his gaze swept like a sharp arrow to Duan Heng, who was more than a hundred meters away.
"Who are you?"
Duan Heng had already seen that this person should be the person in charge of Salted Fish Fort, so he smiled slightly, casually threw away the yellow skin that was used as a prop, took three steps forward, and said loudly: "Duan Xiaomao, a recruit from the ninth team of the Standing Crossbow Barracks of Mountain Ghost County, was ordered to garrison Salted Fish Fort. ”
Duan Heng's voice was very loud, neither humble nor arrogant, and he also deliberately gathered his messy hair before, so it still looked quite good at the moment, especially in the comparison of other crossbowmen.
The man on the other side frowned slightly, and his words were still cold, "Why did you fall behind?"
"My lord, on the way to our departure, five yellow-skinned men harassed the rear team and killed eleven people, in order to prevent the situation from escalating, and also to create an opportunity for your comrades to retreat safely. Duan Heng smiled and glanced at the many crossbowmen who were being drawn bitterly, his face was full of justice and awe-inspiring, "So, I had to stay and fight to the death, but unfortunately these five yellow-skinned people are too cunning, I only killed one of them, I can't avenge the death of my comrades, I am deeply disturbed, and I ask the adults to punish me." ”
"Enough! Do you think I can't see that you're gloating?" the man's eyes narrowed suddenly, "However, the Yellow Skins are the most cunning, and they are extremely grouped, and if you can kill one Yellow Skin, it is actually equivalent to you defeating five Yellow Skins at the same time, which shows that you still have some ability, it is too wasteful to stay in the crossbow team, go to the infantry battalion." ”
Hearing this, Duan Heng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, theoretically speaking, that man should also be a Tongsheng-level immortal cultivator, but he didn't see his cultivation, so it would save a lot of trouble, otherwise, a Tongsheng-level immortal cultivator who suddenly appeared would most likely be regarded as a spy.
Of course, Duan Heng couldn't tell the other party's specific cultivation from his own point of view, so as long as he didn't do it, he didn't have to worry about anything.
Next, Duan Heng of course wouldn't appreciate the screams of those crossbowmen very seriously, he wasn't so bored, he was going to plead for Ding Jingjing and Qiu Xiaoyu, but he found that the two of them didn't discard their weapons and armor, so it might be a good thing for them to receive ten lashes.
At this time, the person in charge personally ordered, and someone personally arranged everything for Duan Heng, from identity to weapons and equipment, to a place to stay, and it was quickly done.
So he transformed, and Duan Heng became a small soldier in the eighth team of the salted fish fort infantry battalion.
However, what really surprised him was that the armed forces in this salted fish fort were actually quite strong, a full thousand foot soldiers, plus five hundred military craftsmen, that is, the people responsible for repairing and controlling those large city defense equipment, if you add three hundred junk crossbowmen, this strength is almost comparable to the former Iron Mountain Military Fort.
In addition, judging from the details, the internal strength of this salted fish castle is not simple.
For example, the half-body leather armor, knee pads, wrist pads, knee-high combat boots, and soft leather gloves that Duan Heng collared are completely brand new, well-made, light and durable, and they are worth a lot of money at first glance.
And this is only the equipment of a small soldier of an infantry battalion.
"Don't be surprised, our Salted Fish Fort is so different, you kid is really lucky, you know, the lord of the castle has always been very strict with the selection of foot soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that any of our foot soldiers here can be qualified for ordinary cavalry in the standing army, and also, do you know how much this set of leather armor costs on the market? One hundred and fifty fairy stones are made of green goblin skin. ”
Seeing that Duan Heng was stunned by the set of leather armor, the foot soldier with the equipment he selected smiled proudly.
"Green goblin skin?"
Duan Heng couldn't help but be surprised again, this was really extravagant, this salted fish castle was so rich! If you count the black-scaled iron battle knife and wooden shield, then with a full set of equipment, let alone three hundred immortal stones.
Then equip a thousand infantry soldiers, then at least 300,000 immortal stones!
Damn, did you meet the second generation of immortals?
"That's just a small meaning, see this black-scaled iron war knife no, this is not an ordinary black-scaled iron, but mixed with a percent of Qinglin iron, and finally made by a special process, more sharp and tough, in addition, this left-hand shield is also Seiko-made, and there is a piece of Wumeng bison skin on the outside, which is much better than an ordinary shield! ”
At this time, the foot soldier continued to show off, and Duan Heng was stunned when he heard it, so his mind turned, and he hurriedly set it up.
"Hey, what do you call my brother, my name is Duan Xiaomao, I want my brother to take care of me in the future!"
"Don't dare to take care of it, I'm the same as you, I'm a foot soldier, my name is Huang Xuan, we all belong to the eighth squad, the team is called Luo Guo, but not Luo Guo, this must be remembered, in addition, we are every three days, with the other three squads on joint patrol vigilance, twelve hours each time, it's still very easy, and now there are two days before our next patrol, so you can take advantage of this time to relax." ”
The foot soldier was very friendly and authentic.
Duan Heng thanked him, and then changed into a leather armor, and even he felt a lot more energetic.
After saying goodbye to the pawn Huang Xuan, Duan Heng did not rest, but walked into the interior of the salted fish fort, as he expected, the interior of the salted fish fort is very large, with patches of residential houses undulating, and the planning is quite good, there is no crowding at all, Duan Heng preliminarily estimates that the permanent population of this salted fish castle is only about forty or fifty thousand people.
There is even a main street dedicated to shops in this salted fish fort.
A total of six shops are located here.
Although this amount is ridiculous from the perspective of earthlings, you must know that this is the immortal cultivation realm, and ordinary people are not qualified to open shops at all.
Therefore, every store here actually represents a business house with an unknown foundation.
But the problem is, this is just a tunpu, how can it have such a huge charm to attract six trading houses to set up shop here?
Duan Heng felt more and more that the owner of the tunbao here was not simple.
――
For two days in a row, Duan Heng ate well in this salted fish castle and slept soundly, almost thinking that this was the peach blossom source in the immortal cultivation world.
He didn't know where Ding Jingjing, Qiu Xiaoyu and the other crossbowmen were arranged?
And the attack of the Sniper Sanctuary seems to have stopped moving.
In the past two days, he was also familiar with Huang Xuan and other foot soldiers of the eighth squad, but after talking to each other, he was surprised to find that among the foot soldiers of the eighth squad, the lowest cultivation had also reached the level of liquefaction of the fourth layer, such as the team of Zhengluo Guo, whose cultivation was already the seventh layer of liquefaction.
This made Duan Heng feel that this salted fish castle was unfathomable.
