Chapter 107, Mr. Duan Qian’s private collection
"Why?" Duan Derong's face changed drastically and he lost his voice.
"My medicine is very overbearing. If ordinary people take it, they have to sleep for a whole day and night before they wake up. After waking up, their limbs will be weak and it will take two or three days to recover?" the old shopkeeper explained.
"Didn't you bring the antidote?" Lian Yutang asked.
The old shopkeeper glared strangely and said angrily: "We are here to steal the camp, why are we bringing that thing?"
"This is a good time." Hearing what the old shopkeeper said, Duan Derong, who had always been pretending to be calm, suddenly lost his composure.
"It's really over now!" Lian Yutang also said.
Xi Xingchen also realized the seriousness of the problem and asked the Shadow Hall disciple who came to report the news: "How many people are here from the bandits?"
"There are at least two to three hundred people, and everyone is equipped with a firecracker." The Shadow Hall disciple replied.
"Now it can only be eaten cold."
Lian Yutang spread his hands and looked at Xi Xingchen with a helpless look, meaning: We can withdraw.
"The bandits are coming very quickly. They should be at the camp gate by now." said the Shadow Hall disciple.
"You must evacuate early, otherwise it will be too late." The old shopkeeper also said.
"You can't leave?" Duan Derong said suddenly.
"If we don't leave, why don't we stay and have a feast?" Lian Yutang sneered.
"As soon as you leave, Pingshun Camp will be completely destroyed." Duan Derong was really anxious now.
"What does that have to do with us?" Lian Yutang said with a smile. "Master Duan is so forgetful. He forgot why we came here so quickly?"
"I..." Duan Derong choked for a moment.
Lian Yutang and the others were originally here to steal the camp, and they were showing mercy if they didn't kill him. There was no reason to stay and help fight against the bandits.
Duan Derong suddenly knelt in front of Xi Xingchen.
"Master Duan, why are you doing this?" Xi Xingchen was immediately at a loss.
There is gold under the man's knees. Xi Xingchen has grown so big. This is the first time someone has knelt down to him and hurriedly helped Duan Derong.
Duan Derong refused to get up: "Hero, please save Pingshun Camp. All the mistakes made are all my fault. You can do anything you want from me, but the 150 lives of Pingshun Camp were innocent. Please be sure to save them."
Xi Xingchen couldn't help but frowned.
Duan Derong was right. When the bandits invaded, one hundred and fifty lives in Pingshun Camp were lost.
Xi Xingchen thought to himself that with his and Lian Yutang's abilities, if the people in Pingshun camp could move freely, even if there were more bandits, there wouldn't be much problem in taking them out.
The problem is that all the Pingshun camp was overrun by the Mongolian sweat medicine, and there was no resistance at all; and the Mongolian sweat medicine was released by himself. As the saying goes: I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me.
If the people in Pingshun Camp were allowed to be killed by bandits, Xi Xingchen would not be able to overcome his conscience.
But even if it is rescue, it is still a problem.
There are only a dozen people on his side, but the bandits have three hundred men and guns. No matter how conceited Xi Xingchen is, he is not so naive that he can withstand a hail of bullets with just a dozen people.
"Master Duan, kneeling is not an option at this time. You should get up and speak first."
Xi Xingchen's hand exerted force, and Duan Derong felt a huge force coming from Xi Xingchen's hand, lifting him up forcefully.
Seeing that Xi Xingchen was silent, the old shopkeeper was afraid that Xi Xingchen would do something stupid, so he quickly said to Xi Xingchen: "Let's retreat before the bandits arrive! Anyway, they are dog-eat-dog, and we can't take the risk."
When Duan Derong heard this, his face turned pale, like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied, and she looked at Xi Xingchen sadly.
Xi Xingchen looked at the pitiful Duan Derong and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. He said: "Master Duan, you also know the current situation. It is impossible for us to stop the bandit's 300 rifles."
"Then what should we do!" Duan Derong was confused at this time.
"That's wrong. We can't stop it. Doesn't that mean Master Duan can't stop him?" Lian Yutang said suddenly.
"How do you say this?" Xi Xingchen and Duan Derong both looked at Lian Yutang.
"Master Duan, doesn't he have a cannon? Drag the cannon out and fire a few shots, it will definitely work." Lian Yutang said with some yin and yang in a strange way, looking at Duan Derong's helpless look.
Xi Xingchen couldn't help but get drunk after hearing this.
Even though Lian Yutang is usually cool and seems to be very generous, in fact he is as small-minded as a chicken. At this time, he is still brooding about being bombarded by Duan Derong, and will not do anything if he has the chance. I will forget the strange Duan Derong.
Then again, if Lian Yutang didn't have this extremely vengeful character, he wouldn't be able to do Yintang's job.
"Cannon?" Duan Derong's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "I have a solution."
"You don't really want to use a cannon to bombard me, do you?" This time it was Lian Yutang's turn to be dumbfounded.
Although cannons are powerful, they are long-range weapons and are troublesome to load, so they are not suitable for close combat.
"Of course not, you will understand after following me to the arsenal." Duan Derong walked out of the barracks excitedly, gesturing for everyone to follow him.
Although the Pingshun Camp's arsenal is not very large, it is filled with rows of various swords, guns and clubs, as well as hard bows, arrows and crossbows, all of which are standard weapons in the Dayan army.
After Duan Derong led Xi Xingchen and others into the arsenal, Lian Yutang finally saw the cannon he had longed for.
However, Duan Derong obviously did not bring them to see the cannon. He quickly walked around the cannon and came to a locked room in the arsenal.
Duan Derong took out a key from his arms, quickly unlocked the room, and pushed open the door.
After entering the room, Xi Xingchen discovered that this room was actually a small arsenal filled with various weapons.
Seeing these weapons, Xi Xingchen's eyes couldn't help but widen.
The weapons in this small arsenal are completely different from the weapons in the large arsenal outside. In Xi Xingchen's view, the large and small arsenals represent two completely different eras.
One represents the cold weapon era, and the other represents the hot weapon era.
Although the weapons in Duan Derongli's small arsenal are still very primitive compared to when Xi Xingchen came, Xi Xingchen is very sure that these weapons will shine in the world in the near future.
Duan Derong pulled off the central canvas, and Xi Xingchen was shocked again. Because he saw a big killer weapon - a water-cooled machine gun.
In the African Campaign of World War I, a British unit of more than 50 people repelled dozens of charges from more than 5,000 Metabilis with only 4 Maxim heavy machine guns, killing more than 3,000 people. It's a real life harvester.
"Why do you have this thing?" Xi Xingchen asked in disbelief.
"This is my private collection." Duan Derong pointed to the arms in the warehouse and said, "I have tried every means to make money over the years. I haven't spent any of the money myself. I have spent it all here."
