Chapter 340: Fighting cattle across the mountain
In front of the Xujian Road Mountain Gate, the old man in green stood up.
He looked at Yushuai and remained silent.
Yu Shuai stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Surrender or die!"
The old man in green clothes still didn't make a sound or move. He just stood there, like a green mountain that would never waver.
A general soldier stood next to Yu Shuai and whispered: "Other mountain gates have been surrounded, and we are just waiting for the commander's order."
Yu Shuai nodded slightly, but did not immediately order an attack.
At this time, the old man in green said: "Xujian Dao has never committed any rebellion. He only wants to practice in seclusion. Why is the court so hard on him?"
"Your Majesty's Holy Favor, you want to establish the Xujian Tao as the state religion, and establish the Taoist master Guo Jiuxing as the national teacher. Disobeying the edict is treason!" Yu Shuai said with a cold expression: "If you are willing to surrender, go to Kyoto City, I will serve as a guarantee to spare you from this treacherous act.”
The old man in green shook his head slightly and said: "Yu Shuai plotted rebellion and resisted orders every time. If he really went to Kyoto City, he was afraid that he would be locked up by the prison formation like Xuanhua Dao."
Taking a deep breath, the old man in green suddenly waved his sleeves, and the mountain door suddenly opened behind him.
He stepped into it and said: "If the court really wants to go to the Xujian Road, just go inside."
The mountain gate is wide open, and the virtual prison road seems to be inviting you to enter the urn.
Although Yu Shuai had hundreds of thousands of troops behind him, he did not immediately order an attack.
Two million frontier troops in the northwest frontier were entangled, and two million troops in Dachen and Daliang were unable to return.
Another two million troops were stationed on other frontiers for protection, and only one million frontier troops remained in the hinterland.
There are a total of forty-nine mountain gates on the Xujian Road, scattered throughout Daqian, among which the largest number of border troops come here.
In other places, there are only more than 20,000 people.
Although when the Xuanhua Dao was first annihilated, the frontier army only mobilized 3,000 people from one battalion. However, at that time, the Xuanhua Dao master and dozens of the most powerful mountain masters were all destroyed in Kyoto City.
The lack of top-level combat power makes it easier to fight.
However, the Xujian Dao has not suffered any losses. From the Dao Master to the Mountain Master, it still maintains its peak combat power.
Even if Yu Shuai is in charge personally, he still needs to act with caution.
"Commander?" The commander-in-chief beside him asked.
Yu Shuai stared at the wide open mountain gate, and could vaguely see the suspended sacred mountain, but not many figures were seen.
He squinted his eyes and looked at it for a while, then turned around and said: "You lead one hundred thousand people to form an array and station here."
"Yes." The commander-in-chief nodded and called the two lieutenants to give orders.
Yu Shuai led the rest of the people away from here. He made a false shot, but went straight to another false prison gate.
Naturally, you cannot enter a place where the Taoist Master of the Xujian Dao is, lest you fall into some kind of trick.
It would be better to attack other mountain gates and defeat them one by one.
Kill the weak ones first, and then concentrate on attacking the strongest one.
In the mountain gate of Xujian Dao, the incarnation of the old man in green is still standing at the gate, and the real body flies into that strange world.
"Master Dao, as you expected, the border troops turned around and attacked other mountain gates. Do you want to abandon a few places and gather the mountain masters?"
The figure of the Taoist Master of the Virtual Supervisor Dao is still hidden in the layers of clouds, and his voice is even more ethereal and elusive.
"There is no need for this, just let them attack."
The old man in green clothes showed some doubts. He could obviously concentrate his efforts on defense, so why should he cooperate with the opponent to be defeated one by one?
But he didn't dare to disobey the Taoist Master's order. Even if he doubted it, he could only hide it in his heart.
"Yes." Lowering his head, the old man in green slowly exited.
After he left, the voice sounded again.
"Which mountain gate is the variable located at?"
He actually wanted to use the imperial court's help to find out the variables hidden in the Taoist sect!
After all, the orthodox traditions of Jueyuan Dao and Xuanhua Dao no longer exist in Daqian territory, and only the Xujian Dao remains.
When you fight against a cow across a mountain, you can see the truth hidden in the fog with the help of your own strength.
A few days later, even Jiang Lin, who was as far away as Kyoto City, heard news that the border troops cooperated with the local government troops to attack several mountain gates on the Xujian Road.
"Yushuai went there in person? He takes it very seriously."
"That's right, we are responsible for supporting your blacksmith camp, so we were left alone." Zheng Qiran, the general of the Zhenshuo Camp, said in a very sad tone.
The millions of border troops who came back to rest this time all went back to fighting, but they were the only ones who didn't go to Zhenshuo Camp, and everyone was very angry.
However, they did not blame Jiang Lin. Firstly, Jiang Lin had a good relationship with the border army, and secondly, his blacksmithing skills were enough to deter anyone who wanted good weapons from messing around.
"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. I will buy some food and wine later to reward the brothers." Jiang Lin said.
"That's not necessary. You're making it look like I'm here to ask for money for drinks." Zheng Qiran quickly declined.
"What are you talking about? Do I need a reason to invite my brothers to drink?" Jiang Lin smiled, took out a piece of burned pig iron from the Hengyu furnace, cut it into even pieces with iron scissors, and then Then start hammering with a small hammer.
Zheng Qiran didn't speak anymore and leaned to watch him exercise, turning his head to look at the Hengyu Furnace from time to time.
He was amazed by the huge stove. Before long, Jiang Lin had beaten the pig iron into arrowheads.
After quenching and sharpening, the arrow shaft is installed.
Zheng Qiran looked on curiously and asked: "Is this a Chaos Arrow that can chase the enemy by itself?"
"Yes, it just needs to be fused with the eyes of the monster rotten cow." Jiang Lin nodded.
Zheng Qiran had a weird look on his face when he heard it. To be honest, he had never seen the eyes of a monster rotten cow made of iron, but he had never heard of such an effect.
Jiang Lin's Chaos Arrows, even if they are not at the treasure weapon level, can possess such characteristics, which is a unique feat.
Zheng Qiran couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai were harassed by barbarians and Western Yi archers in the northwest border. If they can be equipped with hundreds of thousands of chaos arrows, then the Western Yi archers are nothing! Don't worry. Speaking of ten feathers, even the legendary eleven-feather archer who is equivalent to the Taoist realm..."
When he said this, Zheng Qiran was suddenly stunned.
Then he clapped his hands violently and said excitedly: "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"
Jiang Lin turned to look at him, a little confused.
He forged these chaos arrows not for his own use, but to give them to military attachés like Zheng Qiran.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
If there are thieves who come to the blacksmith camp to cause trouble, they can be killed with chaos arrows, saving time and effort.
"What's wrong with Brother Zheng?" Jiang Lin asked.
Zheng Qiran grabbed Jiang Lin's arm and said excitedly: "Brother Jiang, this Chaos Arrow only requires pig iron and the eyes of a monster rotten cow?"
"That's right."
"If you are given enough supplies, how many chaos arrows can you make in one day?" Zheng Qiran asked.
Jiang Lin didn't say anything. He looked at Zheng Qiran and already guessed what he meant. He was afraid that he wanted to make Chaos Arrows himself and send them to the northwest border to deal with the Western Yi archers.
From a personal point of view, Jiang Lin is naturally unwilling.
Now that the frontier troops are being held back in the northwest, and the virtual prison road inside is being attacked, it seems that he is much safer.
But considering the overall situation, not to mention whether there are other external forces coming to cause trouble again, there is an internal faction that we must be wary of.
Powerful clan!
Some of the powerful clans that have dominated the Daqian Dynasty for hundreds of years are much older than the dynasty itself.
They always remained silent, too quiet. Even when Yushuai mobilized the local government troops to encircle and suppress Xujian Daoshanmen, they did not object at all and were very cooperative.
Don’t these people really want to do something?
Maybe not.
Don't look at the fact that there are four million people in the frontier army being dragged outside, seemingly unable to come back, but if the powerful clan really wants to rebel, don't worry about it.
Those millions of border troops must come back as soon as possible to kill them, and then deal with the foreign invasion.
Therefore, unless the Daqian Dynasty is about to perish and there is no hope of a comeback, it is absolutely impossible for the powerful clan to make trouble.
The reason they have been able to exist for so long is not because they are strong enough and have good concentration!
"Brother Jiang?" Zheng Qiran looked at him with some confusion when he saw that he didn't reply for a long time.
Jiang Lin took a breath and said, "I'm trying to figure out how many arrows I can make in one day."
Zheng Qiran had no doubt at all and just asked: "Has it been calculated?"
"After calculation, the maximum number is probably two to three hundred a day," Jiang Lin said.
"Only two or three hundred?" Zheng Qiran frowned, this number was too small.
One day is calculated as three hundred, ten days is three thousand, and one hundred days is thirty thousand.
If you want a large enough quantity, it will take at least one year.
Jiang Lin explained: "The arrows themselves are not difficult to make, but they have to be mixed with the eyes of the monster rotten cow and made individually one by one, so it is more time-consuming. Two to three hundred arrows a day is already the limit."
Zheng Qiran glanced at Jiang Lin's arrow basket. There were only one or two hundred chaos arrows in it, which was indeed not many.
This made him believe Jiang Lin's words, and he nodded and said: "Okay, then you can make a batch first, and I'll have people send them to the border, and ask Meng Shuai and the others to try to see if they work."
"No problem." Jiang Lin immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave this matter to me!"
Zheng Qiran nodded, looked at the arrow basket and the sun-chasing bow placed next to it, and suddenly asked: "If Brother Jiang goes all out, can this bow and arrows be able to deal with the Ten Feathered Archers?"
"I don't know." Jiang Lin replied calmly: "I have never faced each other before, so I don't know if it is enough."
Zheng Qiran looked at it thoughtfully and said, "I wonder if Brother Jiang holds a bow and arrows and shoots with the ten-feathered archers, who will win?"
Jiang Lin was horrified by what he heard. Although he didn't know Xiyi well, these days he also knew that the Ten-Feathered Archer was equivalent to the peak level of the Divine Martial Realm.
Shooting with that kind of person for no reason?
He immediately said: "Look, I am busy forging iron every day. How can I shoot arrows? I am just fooling around. How can I compare to the Ten-Feathered Archer?"
"That's true." Zheng Qiran said: "Xi Yi is famous for being good at shooting. Although he has never faced them, Emperor Taizu personally led his people and spent a lot of effort to drive them out."
Jiang Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that the general was really rude. He wanted chaos arrows, but he also wanted people!
