Chapter 338 The shame of the border army
Coming here in vain is not considered coming in vain. With the addition of these assistant craftsmen, Qi Tiejiang and others will have an easier time.
However, a few people went to the blacksmith shop first and bowed their hands to Jiang Lin: "Sir Jiang, Mr. Secretary ordered me to come to help. I don't know what to do now?"
Jiang Lin looked up and saw them, and said with a smile: "Master, Yuan Sijian, you are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite. Things have been almost arranged. You can go to Master Qi to see if there is anyone who can help. Just fine.”
"Yes."
Jiang Lin said there was no need to be so polite, but Yuan Gaohao and others didn't think so.
The Lord Jiang in front of me is a famous man who even shows courtesy to the Minister and Minister of Industry in the Ministry of Industry. His Majesty has personally given gifts to him, so who dares to neglect him?
Even Zhao Yankui, who is the master, has to show enough face in front of others.
If you want to talk about personal relationships, you can only talk in private.
Several assistant craftsmen immediately entered the blacksmith shop and found Blacksmith Qi. This was all a trivial matter and was not within the scope of Jiang Lin's attention.
Things have been arranged, and the rest depends on what the people below do.
Well done, reward.
If you do not do well, you will be punished.
He has always been a person who knows rewards and punishments clearly. He doesn't spoil anyone, and he won't deliberately target anyone.
In the blacksmith's shop, Jiang Lin's current main task is to build weapons.
The main ones are treasure weapons. After all, they are to be provided to the military attachés. It is not good if the grade is too low.
Everyone knows that he can make mysterious weapons, even Yuan soldiers. If the blacksmith camp cannot even produce a single treasure weapon, it will be difficult to explain to the border army.
Miao Yonghuai, Song Ziyan, and Sheng Yingchun were still practicing slashing.
Just when I was resting, I would look at the blacksmith shop or shop from time to time.
Everyone was busy and sweating profusely.
This was the first time that they saw the blacksmith camp so busy, and they all knew that a war was coming.
Miao Yonghuai looked at Old Man Wei and asked, "Grandpa Wei, if we practice well, shall we go to fight?"
"Hit me!" Old Man Wei replied simply and neatly.
When Jiang Lin first came to Blacksmith Camp, he was not willing to let him join the border army, and this is even more true for these children now.
There is no shortage of these two or three people in the frontier army. If there are more or less of them, the outcome will not be affected.
Miao Yonghuai said oh, but was a little disappointed.
If you can't go to war, what's the point?
This child with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain is very tiger-like.
In contrast, Song Ziyan is much more stable and he doesn't want to fight.
When your martial arts skills improve, how about going back to accompany your mother, punishing evil and promoting good?
As for Sheng Yingchun, she slashed Mo Dao with an expressionless expression, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
For the next ten days, before dawn in the morning, the blacksmith shop began to fire, hammer, quench, and sharpen, and it was very busy.
It wasn't until night fell, when many people in the past had gone to bed, that they gradually stopped working and came back to eat.
The daily rest time should not exceed three hours, including the time for eating, resting, drinking water, peeing, and defecating.
Of course, being tired was very tiring. Some of the apprentices who had just arrived had never experienced such a battle. They fainted in the high temperature and were carried out.
Even some of the blacksmith masters were so tired that they didn't know where they were going.
In the last two days, many people were busy mechanically, like blacksmithing machines.
Jiang Lin's performance was naturally much better than theirs, and it would not be that tiring if he only built treasure weapons.
However, the weapons produced by him alone are enough to be worth dozens of people, and they are also higher quality weapons.
Most of the ones that other blacksmiths can make are of excellent quality, and only a few of them are of high quality.
Only the elite blacksmith team will get the pig iron fired by Jiang Lin to create weapons of at least the second grade.
Those with more advanced skills can already use these pig irons to create first-class weapons.
No one would feel proud. To this day, anyone who still thinks that their skills can really make a first-class weapon out of mortal iron is simply out of their minds.
Without Jiang Lin's pig iron, it would be good if their limit could reach the lower eighth level.
Even Yuan Bingqi, who has been studying the Hundred Refining Method, has only just reached the sixth level through the Hundred Refining Technique. He is still far away from the previous level. He doesn't know if he can reach it in this life.
The entire Daqian blacksmith camp spent ten days in such busyness.
The northwest frontier at this time.
Meng Shuai stepped onto the top of the mountain and looked across the far distance with gloomy eyes.
Eight days ago, he led hundreds of border army camps under his command to meet Hong Shuai.
Hong Shuai was seriously injured. The arrow from the Ten-Feathered Archer was so fierce that half of his head exploded.
Fortunately, Hong Shuai's true cultivation level had already reached the ninth level of the Divine Martial Realm, which was just a hair away from the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, so he survived the disaster.
However, the injury was so severe that his combat strength was greatly reduced.
The ten-feathered archer led several nine-feathered archers, dozens of eight-feathered archers, and hundreds of seven-feathered archers...
A rough estimate is that there are at least 200,000 people from Xiyi coming this time.
Although they were much smaller in number than the frontier troops, the Xiyi were good at shooting and would often use bows and arrows to kill people from extremely long distances. Although the border troops are good at fighting, there is nothing you can do if they don't fight you in close combat.
If you chase hard, you won't be able to catch up, and you will be beaten while retreating, which is very passive.
And once you retreat, the Western archers will pounce on you like jackals that smell a fishy smell.
In the past eight days, the border troops had lost at least hundreds of thousands of people, and their biggest result was that two generals personally led a surprise attack, annihilating a group of intruding Xiyi archers, totaling about six thousand.
However, a general soldier was targeted by the Nine-Feathered Archer and shot to death on the spot.
The most important thing is that when they wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, hundreds of thousands of barbarians emerged from the wilderness in the north.
These barbarians have been entrenched in the north for many years, living with wild beasts and not being civilized.
They knew very well the power of the Dagan border troops, so they never dared to cross the line.
Now he suddenly ran out and cooperated with the Xiyi archers to act as a strong shield.
Although the Dagan border troops were strong, these powerful barbarians who rode various wild beasts, wielded simple stone tools, and were not easy to mess with.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In a head-on confrontation, the frontier troops were not afraid due to the power of their battle formations.
But don't forget, there are still 200,000 Western archers over there.
A single salvo would cause at least tens of thousands of casualties.
The completely disproportionate battle loss ratio forced Meng Shuai to lead his troops into the mountains and forests, relying on the terrain to temporarily block the advancement of the Western barbarians and barbarians.
"I don't know how Emperor Taizu drove Xi Yi out back then. These damn thieves are really difficult to deal with." A general soldier said through gritted teeth.
The commander-in-chief who was shot to death had known him for decades. The two had been in a frontier army camp. From sergeant to commander-in-chief, then to garrison, staff general, and commander-in-chief, they had supported each other all the way until now. .
Unexpectedly, in the northwest frontier, Yin and Yang are forever separated.
"We were careless. We didn't expect that after so many years of rest and recuperation, Xiyi would actually cultivate so many sharp archers with more than seven feathers." Hong Shuai, who was still bleeding from half his head, stepped forward with a pale face.
His eyes were full of resentment, and he said: "If I had known this, I might as well have crossed the chasm and driven them all out early!"
As one of the seven commanders of the frontier army, although his cultivation level is slightly worse than that of his opponent, it is really a shame to be injured like this.
Especially the frontier troops are now unable to fight or retreat, and are even more frustrated.
But what can be done? It would be easier to fight without the barbarian soldiers, but now we are in a dilemma.
Meng Shuai also had a gloomy look on his face. His aura was always at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm, and he was vigilantly paying attention to what was going on around him.
The ten-feathered archer was hiding in the dark, leaving his iron fists useless.
"The appearance of Western barbarians and barbarians at the same time is absolutely unusual. There must be someone behind it," Meng Shuai said.
This is an obvious thing. Without anyone's instructions, how could the Xiyi and barbarians dare to attack Daqian easily.
A trace of worry flashed in Meng Shuai's eyes, and he said: "With the terrain and nearly two million border troops, it is easy to block the Xiyi and barbarian soldiers, but I am afraid that there will be trouble on Ling Shuai's side."
"Ling Shuai?" Hong Shuai was slightly startled, then realized and asked: "You mean Da Chen and Daliang will take the opportunity to counterattack?"
Meng Shuai shook his head and said: "Dachen and Daliang have been attacked into the hinterland before and were defeated. Even if they want to counterattack again, the chance is not great. But don't forget that there are several dynasties around Dachen and Daliang."< br>
Hong Shuai was startled, and then his heart sank.
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to take the lead at this time when the large-scale border troops carry the power of destroying the country.
But the question is, even the Western Yi and barbarian soldiers are coming. Can the other dynasties really endure it?
Once they get the news here, they might really want to unite and send troops and march north.
Ling Shuai also had nearly two million frontier troops under his command, including hundreds of battalions under Yu Shuai.
But if we were to face the three prosperous dynasties as well as the remnants of Da Chen and Daliang, I am afraid they would be unable to do so.
"Fortunately, we still have 300 large camps that have not been moved, so we can still cope with them for the time being." Meng Shuai said.
"For the time being?" Hong Shuai asked, "Does Meng Shuai think that there are others who want to get involved?"
The westernmost part of Daqian is the boundless ocean. We have never seen any enemies coming, and we have never heard of any dynasty-level forces in the sea.
To the east is the Snowy Mountain. It is said that behind the Snowy Mountain, some sects who believe in gods and men have formed a kingdom, but that mountain is too high and too cold.
For hundreds of years, no one in Daqian has been able to cross the Snowy Mountains, and no one has ever been seen coming from the other side of the Snowy Mountains.
In theory, there should be no more enemies.
The only worry may be the powerful clans within.
But the three million border troops were enough to suppress these powerful clans and they did not dare to act rashly.
Meng Shuai didn't know what to say. He was the oldest commander in the frontier army and had seen too many things.
At this moment, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. The sudden appearance of the Xiyi archers and barbarian soldiers always made him feel as if there was some huge threat coming to Daqian.
What will it be?
At this time, a herald ran over quickly and said: "Shuai Meng, Shuai Hong, a secret report has been sent from Kyoto City. Please take a look at it."
Meng Shuai received the secret report, opened it and took a look, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Three words came out of his mouth.
"Virtual Supervisory Road!"
