Chapter 342 Hong Shuai comes to help
In the northwest border, rumbling sounds continued one after another, shaking the mountains and forests, and causing birds and beasts to flee in all directions.
A figure with unstoppable power crashed into the hill hundreds of meters ahead.
Rumble——
Amidst the loud noise, the hill was smashed into pieces like tofu.
Rocks were flying everywhere, mountain peaks collapsed, and the surrounding vegetation was destroyed, making it an apocalyptic scene.
In the dust, the tall figure wearing heavy armor let out a deep grunt: "Ten Feathered Archers? They are just rats who hide their heads and shrink their tails, not daring to show their faces!"
Another figure descended from the sky and landed.
"Meng Shuai, what's wrong?" It was Hong Shuai who had a bandage wrapped around his head and had not yet fully recovered.
Meng Shuai, who was wearing heavy armor, put away the black iron rod in his hand, shook his head and said: "Let him run away again."
Hong Shuai couldn't help but frown. In the past few days, he had used his body as bait to lure the Ten-Feathered Archer to appear, and then Meng Shuai personally tried to kill him.
However, the hook was drawn three times in a row. By the time Meng Shuai found out the opponent's location and arrived, the ten-feathered archer had already left.
This time Meng Shuai's speed was fast enough, almost in the blink of an eye, but he still failed to keep the opponent.
Hong Shuai took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid that person won't be caught by us so easily. He's more likely to be playing tricks on us."
Even though he knew that if he shot Hong Shuai, Meng Shuai would find him, the Ten Feathered Archer still dared to show his face, obviously he didn't take them seriously at all.
In other words, the two of them were treated as entertainment.
The two commanders glanced at the mess around them with gloomy expressions.
If the Ten Feathered Archers insist on escaping, it will be really difficult to catch them, unless they can set up military formations in advance to trap the opponent within a fixed range.
However, the opponent always shoots arrows from hundreds of miles away, and the direction is elusive. It is not so easy to get trapped.
The two commanders had gloomy faces, but there was nothing they could do.
Two million frontier troops were held back by a mere few hundred thousand enemy troops. This was extremely rare in the history of the frontier army.
At this time, a general soldier flew over, cupped his hands and said: "Report to Commander Meng, Commander Hong, and General Zheng Qiran of the Zhenshuo Camp. They sent people to send special troops, saying that they might be able to solve the dilemma."
"A strange soldier? What a strange soldier?" Hong Shuai asked.
"It's said to be the Chaos Arrow made by Lord Jiang Linjiang," the commander said.
If the weapon is made by someone else, no matter how powerful it is, the two commanders will not take it seriously.
In a situation like this, unless extremely powerful holy weapons or even divine weapons are used, other things will not be able to influence the situation at all.
But the two of them had heard of the weapons Jiang Lin had built.
After looking at each other, the two commanders immediately left the place.
After returning to the Chinese army's tent in the mountains and forests, the guards sent by Zheng Qiran had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the two commanders, they quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Chang Taihong meets Commander Meng and Commander Hong."
Meng Shuai waved his hand and asked: "Where are the things?"
"Here it is." Chang Taihong quickly opened the large package on the ground, revealing hundreds of dark chaos arrows inside. At the same time, he explained: "This arrow is called the Chaos Arrow. It possesses the ancestral power of the tarsal maggot and can autonomously Chase the enemy until death."
"Chasing the enemy independently?" Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai didn't know much about Jiang Lin. They just heard that Yu Shuai met a blacksmith with some skills.
Meng Shuai picked up a Chaos Arrow and looked at it carefully. Although it was only a first-grade arrow, he gently bent it with his hand and found that it was extremely hard.
Without the cultivation level of the sixth or seventh level of the Yuanwu Realm, it would be difficult to destroy this thing.
The arrow's cold light was exposed, and it had an astonishing sharpness. Coupled with the dark arrow shaft, it showed a somewhat unpredictable aura.
"This arrow is pretty good." Meng Shuai nodded slightly: "Bring me the bow!"
The commander-in-chief on the side presented the longbow that had been prepared.
Meng Shuai held the bow in one hand and set the first-grade Chaos Arrow on it. Then he raised his head and looked at a bird passing by in the sky.
He immediately felt that a gray thread extended from the arrow and quickly connected with the bird.
Even if you turn your head away, the connection of the gray silk thread has not been broken, and it is closely connected with the bird in perception.
Meng Shuai turned his head, stopped looking, and then let go of his hand.
Zheng——
With the sound of a bowstring rebounding, chaos arrows shot out like black lightning. The birds in the sky reacted extremely quickly and quickly evaded.
Meng Shuai looked up and saw the chaos arrow shot into the air, then turned around in mid-air and shot towards the bird again.
The bird dodged three times in succession, but finally failed to do so and was shot through the chest by an arrow. It let out a mournful cry and fell from mid-air.
The commander flew up, caught the bird, and brought it over.
Meng Shuai glanced at the bird that was invaded by the evil force and was losing its vitality, and nodded slightly: "It's a good thing. If there are more, we can bypass the barbarians and chase the Western Yi archers to death!"
There are many people among the border troops who are good at shooting. However, ordinary bows and arrows do not have this ability. With barbarians blocking them in front, it is difficult to approach the Western Yi archers.
The distance is far, and the possibility of shooting the Xiyi archer is slim.
Meng Shuai looked at Chang Taihong, the guard of Zhenshuo Camp, and asked: "This Chaos Arrow was made by the Zuo Secretary of the Ministry of Industry? His name is Jiang Lin?"
"Exactly."
"Ask him to send 500,000 chaos arrows within ten days. After this battle, come under my command and give him a job as a general." Meng Shuai said.
After Chang Taihong heard this, instead of feeling very happy, he was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid this won't work."
"What's wrong?" Meng Shuai asked.
"It doesn't work anywhere..." Chang Taihong said: "Master Jiang said that although this arrow is only of the first grade, it needs to be forged with the eyes of a monster beast and a rotten cow, which is time-consuming and laborious. In the entire Daqian blacksmith camp, only he can make it , with a maximum daily output of three hundred.”
"As for the post of general..." Chang Taihong said with a wry smile: "When we attacked Dachen before, Commander Ling promised Mr. Jiang that if he joined the border army, he would be given a general position. Mr. Jiang has not agreed yet."
Both Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai were a little surprised when they heard this. Although they were both commanders, each of them was responsible for different directions and had different information.
Jiang Lin was taken seriously, mainly under Yu Shuai and Ling Shuai, as well as the Ministry of Industry and His Majesty the Emperor.
Although the Ministry of War understands him, they will not take the initiative to spread his rapidity to the world. After all, he is not really one of their own.
Therefore, Meng Shuai and Hong Shuai only heard a few words.
At this moment, they heard that Ling Shuai had promised to be the commander-in-chief but was rejected by Jiang Lin. The two commanders were suddenly shocked.
"The commander-in-chief is not willing to do it. Could it be that he wants to be the commander-in-chief?" Hong Shuai asked.
"This... I don't know." Chang Taihong didn't dare to talk nonsense.
"Three hundred a day are too few and will not pose a threat to the Xiyi archers in a short period of time." Meng Shuai frowned.
The things are good, but there are too few and they are not enough.
At this time, Hong Shuai suddenly said: "If the power of this arrow can reach Yuan Bing, it may pose a threat to the ten feathered archers. Even if it cannot be killed on the spot, it can at least allow us to find its location."
After Chang Taihong heard this, he said: "Master Jiang does have Chaos Arrows at the Yuan Bing level in his hands, but it is not clear whether they can kill the Ten-Feathered Archer."
"Oh? He can actually build Yuan soldiers?" Meng Shuai was slightly surprised. He looked at each other with Hong Shuai, as if he had thought of something.
"I will go find him personally and leave this place to Meng Shuai." Hong Shuai said.
Meng Shuai nodded: "You can go ahead, Yuan Bing is still lacking. If he can find a way to create a holy weapon, he will be fully confident."
"Okay." Seeing Hong Shuai leave, Meng Shuai turned around and looked towards the outskirts of the mountain forest.
Ten miles away, hundreds of thousands of northern barbarians were entrenched here, becoming a shield to prevent them from killing the Xiyi.
The roars and cries of various monster beasts came and went.
The combat power of the barbarian soldiers is extraordinary. Individually, they even far exceed those of the border troops.
The monsters riding alone are equivalent to masters of at least the seventh or eighth level of martial arts.
As for the sergeants of the border army, it is very common for them to have second-grade martial arts skills.
If it weren't for the large military formation, these barbarians alone would be enough to give them a headache.
Once they come in, the barrier of the mountains and forests will make the Xiyi archers no longer a threat.
It's a pity that the barbarian soldiers, who have always acted recklessly, actually have some tricks up their sleeves this time and never go deep.
Meng Shuai would never believe it if no one was behind this.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Combined with the secret report from Kyoto City, it is natural to understand that it is related to the Xujian Road.
It's just that I have never heard of Xu Jiandao having contact with Xiyi and barbarian soldiers. How can I instruct them?
As the last survivor among the three great gates, Xu Jian Dao's ability is also the most mysterious.
Even the commanders don't know exactly what their strength is.
Otherwise, Yu Shuai would not turn around and attack other places even though the mountain gate was wide open.
As for breaking the game, Meng Shuai doesn't think it's too difficult.
He has ordered people to make a large shield. As long as he can block the arrows of the Western archers and deal with the barbarians, everything will fall into place.
Or perhaps, hundreds of thousands of chaos arrows can be obtained from Jiang Lin, no, even two hundred thousand can solve this dilemma.
……
In the Daqian blacksmith camp, Jiang Lin did not forge weapons as before. Instead, he held an ordinary bow and arrow and shot arrow after arrow.
[Skill 4: Archery Lv6 (Proficiency 5963/10000)]
[Skill 4: Archery Lv6 (Proficiency 5964/10000)]
[Skill 4: Archery Lv6 (Proficiency 5965/10000)]
His proficiency in archery is constantly increasing, and he still has four thousand arrows to go before he can reach level 7.
Jiang Lin planned to spend a day or two to improve his archery level first and see what kind of changes he could get before doing anything else.
Now that his skill level is very high, it is no longer easy to upgrade at will like before.
Especially for alchemy, which easily requires 100,000 proficiency points, Jiang Lin would not be able to do anything in three to five months just by refining the alchemy.
But his foundation lies in blacksmithing and oven methods, so it is naturally impossible for him to focus all his energy on the supporting skills of alchemy.
To upgrade, the best way is naturally to find the other four alchemy inheritances.
He shot arrow after arrow, all ordinary arrows with no power, just to increase his proficiency.
Until the evening, there were still about 2,300 points left to level up in archery proficiency.
After Jiang Lin glanced at the message, he stretched out his hand and wrapped the arrow in the distance back with strength.
Just as he placed the long bow in his hand, a figure descended from the sky.
Feeling the other party's terrifying aura and seeing the miserable condition of half of his head missing, Jiang Lin was shocked.
If he hadn't seen that the opponent's armor was similar to that of the border army, he might have taken action directly to control the person first.
The border troops who were responsible for guarding the blacksmith camp thought they were coming, and immediately drew their weapons and ran over excitedly.
As a result, when he arrived, he was startled when he saw the other person's face clearly.
Xie Yunfan, the guard of the Zhenshuo Camp, quickly saluted and said: "Xie Yunfan, see Hong Shuai!"
Other sergeants also saluted with loud voices: "See Hong Shuai!"
The outermost garrison camp was a little surprised when they heard the shout. Commander Hong is here?
In the blacksmith shop, Xia Shanliu and others, who were cooperating with the master blacksmith to build a stove, turned their heads and looked here in astonishment.
Hong Shuai?
The seven marshals of Da Gan are all famous, and even a three-year-old child has heard of their legends.
How could Xia Shanliu and others not know this?
As the supreme commander of the border army, how could such a person come to Blacksmith Camp?
"I should be here to see Mr. Jiang." The blacksmith who was pouring molten iron into the furnace was smiling and full of pride: "The relationship between our Mr. Jiang and the border army is very good. Even if the commander comes in person, Not surprising.”
Xia Shanliu, He Lingfeng and others were all surprised.
It was the first time they knew that Jiang Lin had such a powerful connection in the border army, and several old alchemists were surprised and happy.
Master Jiang’s alchemy skills are powerful and his connections are astounding. I don’t suffer at all from this master!
"Are you Jiang Lin?" Although Hong Shuai had never met Jiang Lin, he felt that he had found the right person after feeling his cultivation in the divine martial realm.
In the entire Daqian Blacksmith Camp, there is only one person in the Divine Martial Realm.
"Yes, I didn't know Commander Hong was here, but what's wrong with the weapons we made earlier?" Jiang Lin asked.
"You mean Chaos Arrows? They're not bad, but the quantity is too small. Let me ask you, if you were given enough manpower, maybe you could make more?" Hong Shuai asked.
Jiang Lin shook his head without hesitation: "Only I can inspire the ancestral power of tarsal maggots. Three hundred pills a day is the limit."
After hearing this answer with his own ears, Hong Shuai was immediately disappointed.
But he quickly regained his energy and asked: "I heard that you can make Yuanbing-level chaos arrows?"
"Yes." Jiang Lin did not hide it. This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and there is no need.
"Can I be promoted to a holy soldier?" Hong Shuai asked again.
"Holy Soldier?"
"Ten-feathered archers and many nine-feathered archers came from Xiyi, and they specially fired cold arrows to kill the generals and generals. If they are not removed, the northwest will not be stable!"
Jiang Lin suddenly understood. It seemed that the frontier army had really encountered a big problem on the northwest frontier.
For Jiang Lin, building holy soldiers is no longer a problem. The question is whether to build them to help the border army deal with the serious problem of the Ten Feathered Archers.
After only thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Lin had the answer.
Do it!
Even if he doesn't do it, the border army may not be able to get out of the predicament. Not only will it lose the favor, but it may also turn the relationship into evil.
But to do it, you have to pay attention to methods.
Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said: "It is possible to make a holy weapon-level Chaos Arrow, but the conditions are harsh. I can't do it alone, and I need the help of Commander Hong."
"Help? I don't know how to blacksmith, how can I help you?" Hong Shuai asked in confusion.
Jiang Lin smiled slightly and said: "Hong Shuai doesn't need to forge, he just needs to help me find one or two thousand different forging materials. I have a roster of materials. As long as they correspond to what is written in the roster and do not repeat, the Holy Weapon Chaos Arrow, Just around the corner! ”
