After a tiring day, Master Nie walked to the kitchen, kicked away a bandit, sat down on a stool, and started cooking.
Instead of being angry, the bandit who was kicked away by him actually came around and asked with a smile,
"Second Master, when are you going to make more of that crossbow you made last time and let me play with it?"
"Playing? Huh, when you play, when the time comes, everyone has one hand. If anyone fails to shoot accurately, I will kick his ass."
"I'm sure I can shoot accurately. Don't worry. I used to be a hunter. Who in the ten miles and eight villages doesn't know what I can do with the big bird? Even an eagle flying in the sky can be shot down with one arrow."
Qi DaNiao?
Nie Chen was startled when he heard this and looked down at the guy's crotch. He didn't know if this guy lived up to his name.
"You can pull me down. Your ability to shoot birds is not as good as mine. Last time we competed, you lost to me.
Second Master, when the time comes to make the bow and crossbow, give it to me to use first. "
Another bandit said unconvinced.
Nie Chen waved his hand and said,
"Okay, when everything is built, you will definitely have your share, so don't fight."
After eating, Nie Chen went straight to the bedroom to prepare for bed.
This day was really tiring. Teaching people to make things was even more tiring than doing it with my own hands.
We will have to recruit some more blacksmiths to go up the mountain. The current work efficiency of the few blacksmiths on the mountain is too slow.
Nie Chen lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Before he had slept for a long time, a sneaky figure appeared outside his door.
The figure carried a basin, tiptoed to his bed, and then poured all the water in the basin onto his head.
Nie Chen suddenly woke up, sat up, looked at the slim figure running out happily, and then looked at his wet sheets and quilt, and fell into doubt about his life...
"Eh? Brother Nie, did you sleep well last night?"
In the Juyi Hall, Da Zhuang looked at Nie Chen with dark circles under his eyes and asked doubtfully.
Weng Qiuchan on the side snorted coldly, turned his head away, and used a cold look to hide the pride in his eyes.
"It's okay. I didn't cover myself with a quilt last night, so I just caught a cold."
Nie Chen coughed dryly and asked,
"What's the matter with calling me here so urgently?"
"Two things."
The headmaster said in a deep voice,
"The first thing is that the Liu family sent someone over to ask if we, Qingfeng Village, had caught you. I said no, and then refunded the deposit they gave us.
They didn't ask for it and told us to send people to search the mountain to investigate. We must find you and eradicate the roots. "
"Oh, you are really evil, you are so concerned about my life."
Nie Chen sneered.
"This is easy to pass up, as long as you don't show your face in front of people you know."
The headmaster continued,
"The second thing is that the county government sent five hundred troops to Niubao Mountain."
"Niu Kuishan? You move very quickly. It seems that the Liu family is really capable."
"Master, you have to send someone to keep an eye on Niu Kui Mountain to see if Niu Kui Mountain can withstand it, and to see how effective the county's army is."
"Okay, got it."
Nie Chen nodded, said nothing, stood up and walked towards the craftsman's workshop.
It seems that we need to speed up the progress and build the weapons quickly.
Even if it is not for selling money, but for self-protection, we must improve the combat effectiveness of the copycat as soon as possible.
On the other side, the county government's five hundred troops, led by a commander, marched towards Niubai Mountain in a mighty manner.
According to the Gale military system, every ten men form a team, and the captain of ten is called the captain.
A hundred people make up a team, and the centurion is called the head of the capital.
A thousand people form a camp, and the commander of a thousand people is called the commander.
Ten thousand people make up a regiment, and the leader of ten thousand people is called a general.
Further up, there is the legion. There are different regiments under the jurisdiction, and the commander is the commander-in-chief.
Commander Wang, who is currently leading the team, is the commander of this battalion in Qingshui County. This time, he will personally lead the team to annihilate Niubai Mountain.
Niubai Mountain is located on the west side of the official road, just opposite to the location of Qingfeng Village. The two cottages, one to the east and one to the west, control the official road and often rob passing merchants. However, because they are too close, there are territorial conflicts. There were many contradictions.
Commander Wang is in his thirties and is a shrewd and capable man. At this time, he is wearing armor and holding a long sword, looking very heroic.
Behind him were five centurions. The soldiers were all wearing leather armor, holding shields and swords, as well as spears and bows.
"Commander, we have found out that the terrain of Niubai Mountain is not too steep, and there are two ways to go up the mountain.
There are some wooden fences on the stronghold, which can fall down with a kick, making them easy to attack. "
A scout came back to report.
"I got it, Zhang Dutou, Li Dutou, you two, lead two hundred people up the mountain from another road. The rest of the people follow me and go up the mountain from the main road. Be sure not to let the leader of the thieves escape!"
"As you command!"
Both of them immediately took the people away, bypassed the path, and came to another road.
Commander Wang then ordered,
"The shield soldiers go to the front and to the left and right sides, and the spear soldiers follow the shield soldiers to protect the archers. Go up the mountain in an orderly manner. Don't rush in because of greed for credit!"
"As you command!"
Under the command of Commander Wang, the army advanced towards the mountain in an orderly manner.
Seeing this scene in Nie Chen's eyes, he couldn't help but nodded.
He originally wanted the craftsman's workshop to build weapons as soon as possible, but he thought it would be better to watch the county army fight with his own eyes, so that when the county army attacked Qingfeng Village in the future, they would be better able to deal with it.
Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in every battle.
So he took Qiu Chan, the powerful man in charge, and others over to watch.
Seeing this, Nie Chen sighed,
"The army is well-organized, both offensive and defensive. This commander does not despise the enemy and does not rush into the enemy's territory. He is a formidable enemy."
Hearing this, Da Dangjia, Da Zhuang and Weng Qiuchan all sneered.
The boss said,
"Boy, you have seen too few of them. Such a battle formation, placed on a flat plain or grassland, is indeed quite satisfactory, with no major flaws.
But this is a mountain, the road is narrow and winding, and the woods are dense, making it easy to hide the enemy.
If we are on the opposite side, we only need to hide the ambush in the woods, and then place rolling logs and rocks on the hills on both sides.
The enemy battle formation is so concentrated that a wave of rolling logs and rocks rolling down the mountain road can wipe out a large area. Then the ambush archers will shoot the remaining soldiers, ensuring that the entire army will be annihilated without even seeing anyone. . "
Nie Chen's head was full of black lines, he was not pretending to be cool, and he forgot that there was a battle-hardened general beside him.
Da Zhuang smiled and smoothed things over, saying,
"What the boss said makes sense, but you also said that this would be the case if you were on the opposite side.
The ones on the opposite side now are those reckless idiots like Ma Niubai. They know shit about tactics.
I don't know how to drink and have fun at this time.
This battle formation of officers and soldiers will definitely lose against us, but it is more than enough to wipe out the horses and cattle. "
