Chapter 253 Not enough to eat
During the battle in Wu City, Wei Yuan gained seven heavenly powers.
Although there are few heavenly skills, the significance is extraordinary, indicating that a great witch has injured the origin. I just don’t know whether it is the one sitting on the altar or the one rushing out from the ground. Wei Yuan is more inclined to the former, after all, the blood flow is spectacular
.
When Wei Yuan was hiding on the city wall, he could clearly see the situation inside the city. During the bombardment, nearly 10,000 Wu warriors were killed and wounded, and 60,000 to 70,000 civilians were killed or injured. This was one-third of the civilians in Wu City. From then on, no matter what happened in Wu City,
Whether it is repair or construction will be greatly affected.
There will be no old or weak people who can be sent to Wu City. They are all young Wu clansmen who can go to the battlefield with a little training. Xiao Shiwan was killed by a round of artillery fire from Wei Yuan, and even a large clan would feel heartbroken.
Wei Yuan also used up all the gunpowder in his hand, and it would be difficult to launch the second round of bombardment for a while.
At this time, the witch city's defense formation and altar were all destroyed, and the three great witches were all injured. Their physical strength suffered heavy losses, and it would be difficult to recover for a while.
This round of Weiyuan is just bleeding the Wu Clan, and does not intend to really knock down this Witch City. In a few months, the Wu Clan will really build it into a majestic city, and then we will see the huge city built on top of it.
In the Qingming Realm, the great witches don't know what they will feel.
The threat of the Wu Clan was temporarily eliminated, so Wei Yuan took all the time to train as monks. Now that the realm is full of vitality, Wei Yuan has more maniacs in the world to bless.
Now Wei Yuan can normally bless three hundred cavalry, increasing their strength by 50%; the core fifty cavalry need to be blessed with luck, and their strength can be doubled. As for Wei Yuan himself, in addition to Dao power, depending on the consumption of luck, all aspects
They are all-round improvements, and the multiple of strength increase is unknown.
Now the cavalry led by Wei Yuan has been steadily expanding from the initial sixteen cavalry, to the mid-term fifty cavalry, and now to the current three hundred cavalry. There are as many green spirits in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and they are still increasing. But although the world
The madman has not reached the limit, but the monks in the realm have reached the limit.
Nowadays, mining in Qingmingzhong requires Dao foundation, farming requires Dao foundation, firing cannons requires Dao foundation, and even forging iron requires Dao foundation. Everywhere requires Dao foundation. After all, Daoji monks are not mortals. When it comes to work, one person is worth a hundred dollars to a mortal.
indivual.
Wei Yuan has always wondered why there are so few Daojis. There are only more than 600 in the realm.
Wei Yuan's cavalry rarely trains at all, they are just doing odd jobs. However, Wei Yuan feels that his cavalry does not need training, especially the core fifty cavalry. With luck and good luck, Wei Yuan can fight for them. So.
Wei Yuan dominates Yuanshen and can easily control fifty knights at the same time. Only three hundred knights will be a bit burdensome.
Wei Yuan provided all knights with spears, knives and heavy armor as standard equipment. This made many knights who were accustomed to free fighting very uncomfortable and had to train extra to master these two weapons. But Wei Yuan ignored all objections, and the knights
So I had no choice but to practice obediently. After all, the army had to distribute equipment uniformly.
But there is only one reason why Wei Yuan insists on unifying the weapons, and that is to make it easier for him to control. Otherwise, if someone is carrying a machete and someone else is holding a pair of hammers, wouldn't he have to practice sword and hammer skills?
On the battlefield, it is much simpler to use a gun. Just stab it, and it is much faster than any sword or axe. If you hit it, you will be promoted and make a fortune. If you don't hit it, shoot again.
While Wei Yuan was training the cavalry, Yu Zhizhuo was also working hard to build equipment. Now that he had a forging machine, and David Yuan needed more urgently, Yu Zhizhuo made several special anvils.
The steel plate is placed on top and hammered directly into two arc-shaped pieces with a forging machine, so that the front piece is one piece and the back piece is the breastplate.
The leg armor and arm armor were treated similarly. In the end, the knights seemed to have put several iron barrels on their body limbs. The bare steel barrels really didn't look good, so Wei Yuan had to add another process and paint them all black.
Now the feeling comes out.
At this time, news came from Sun Chaoen that the Zhao State envoy had set off and would enter the Broken Realm in the near future. After receiving the news, Wei Yuan stepped up his training, and the knights all knew that they were going to do something big this time, and many newcomers were
I am scared and excited at the same time, so I am practicing to the point of death.
Since Marquis Xiang wanted to see Wei Yuan's strength, Wei Yuan gave him 300 Daoji to see if he could gain his discernment.
According to the route planned by the envoy, the location of Wei Yuan's raid was about 4,000 miles away from the boundary. Now the boundary has been expanded to 130 miles, and the range of Wei Yuan's combat activities has also reached 6,500 miles.
inside, more than enough.
In the garrison camp of Bianning County, a majestic-looking general sat upright and glanced at the captains in the camp. His face was cold and he said: "Where is General Yue Qilin Yue? I have taken office, why is he invisible?
Well, how do we hand over this?"
A school captain on the right took a step forward and said: "General Yue packed his things yesterday and went out for a hunting trip in the city. I don't know when he will come back. He has handed over all the seals and military talismans to me. General Yue Mo
Pass it to General Feng."
General Feng stood up, came to the captain, took the seal soldier talisman in his hand and looked at it, then suddenly kicked him and kicked him out of the tent!
The kick was so heavy that the captain immediately spat out blood and fell to the ground unable to get up for a while.
General Feng, as if nothing had happened, looked at the captains on the right one by one. The captains on the left in the camp were all brought by him this time, and those on the right were Yue Qilin's original subordinates.
General Feng said slowly: "I heard that General Yue is very good at fighting, and the men he brought out were all proud and powerful generals. When I saw him today, as expected, every one of my generals had a fierce look in their eyes. Why, you don't accept it?"
"
General Feng stopped in front of a bearded captain and reached out to pat his face. The captain couldn't help it anymore and slapped General Feng's hand away.
General Feng smiled and said: "Very good. If you attack the officer, the crime will be increased. Come, put him in a water prison and starve him for ten days first! You are all his accomplices, take them all and lock them up."
, I will review it slowly when the general is free."
A group of soldiers rushed into the tent, knocked down all Yue Qilin's old men and tied them up. A school captain refused to accept it and shouted: "Feng, don't get too proud too early! When General Yue comes back, he will definitely do it for me."
Wait for justice!" General Feng laughed loudly and said: "How many people have you seen who were demoted and then climbed up again? If he hadn't had a good uncle, he wouldn't have lost his official position this time."
The bearded captain was furious: "You bunch of bastards, Marshal Yue is fighting bloody battles in the front, and you are plotting from behind! Aren't you afraid of losing your descendants by doing such immoral things?"
Feng Lin walked over and kicked him in the face, causing several teeth to fall out on the ground. He put on a strange smile and said, "I don't know if I will have no children or grandchildren, but you probably won't survive these ten days."
After ordering people to take all Yue Qilin's old troops into custody, Feng Lin suddenly felt physically and mentally happy and said, "Beat the drums and order the troops! I want to see what kind of soldiers Yue Qilin left behind."
A moment later, Feng Lin felt his scalp numb as he looked at the densely packed sergeants on the school field.
A close lieutenant nearby said in shock: "How...how could this happen? Are there really 8,000 people?"
Feng Lin's face was as gloomy as water. He didn't expect that Yue Qilin's soldiers were actually in full strength. He also brought 5,000 troops and horses from his headquarters this time when he took office, but in fact there were only 1,800 in the camp. The captain and other officers were ordered according to the five
Thousands of soldiers are prepared.
Feng Lin suddenly remembered something, sweat broke out on his forehead and said, "Take me to the granary!"
The granary was in the corner of the camp. Feng Lin directly used his power to open the doors of several granaries. Looking at the half-silo of grain inside, his heart gradually sank.
Before taking office, he had already sent his trusted lieutenant to check the weapons and supplies. At that time, the captain felt that the supplies were normal, so he signed the handover documents. If Yue Qilin were here today, all that would need to be handed over would be a military talisman and a seal.
At that time, Feng Lin heard that the grain and grass figures reported by the captain came back and thought it was normal. But the problem was that what Feng Lin thought was normal was based on the general situation of the Western Jin Dynasty. The armies of the Western Jin Dynasty were basically short of vacancies, and the average number of soldiers was between 30% and 40%.
between.
Feng Lin originally thought that Yue Qilin's troops were about the same, with at most 40% of the troops, which would be enough food and grass. But he never expected that Yue Qilin's troops were actually full!
As a result, there was immediately a huge gap in military rations.
Several captains realized the seriousness of the problem. Feng Lin directly slapped the captain who signed the handover document, causing his mouth and nose to bleed.
Another captain said: "There must be some of these soldiers who can make up the numbers..."
But halfway through his words, he couldn't continue. Several captains led troops all year round. How could soldiers and civilians not be distinguished?
These eight thousand soldiers are all tall and muscular, with gnarled muscles. It can be seen that they have already cultivated their muscles and muscles, and they are qualified soldiers anywhere in the Western Jin Dynasty. If these soldiers are not hungry, they will mutiny.
Thinking of the consequences of the mutiny, the captains broke into cold sweat.
Feng Lin immediately said: "Prepare the horses! I'll go to the county governor and Lord Tongzhi to ask for food!"
An hour later, Feng Lin returned to the camp, his face as heavy as water. Li Weisheng and Sun Chaoen, the two old foxes, refused to let go of anything they said, and they did not let go of any grain in the official warehouse.
Feng Lin played Tai Chi with them for almost an hour. He couldn't bear it anymore and had to go back to the camp. He knew that sitting down would be useless. These two old foxes could talk about it all day long, but he couldn't.
Several captains knew something was wrong when they saw Feng Lin's expression. Although Feng Lin looked unhappy, he suppressed his anger and sat in the tent to think carefully.
After the initial anger, Feng Lin guessed that most of those official warehouses were empty.
After pondering for a long time, Feng Lin gradually showed a sinister look on his face. He called a school captain and said: "You should leave the city immediately and go to Brother Xu and ask him to bring more private soldiers. In a few days, we will escort the Zhao State envoy to the north.
, let him dress up as a horse bandit and rob him. You guys, take a careful inventory of the soldiers in the camp and pick out the poor ones, those with no family background, and those with hairy heads. Then go with us to escort the envoy.
"
Several captains looked at each other, and one of them asked carefully: "General, what do you mean..."
Feng Lin's face flashed with murderous intent, and he said: "Yue Qilin dares to set this trap on me, so I don't have to be polite to him! Isn't there not enough food? There are enough people to eat."
