Nie Chen also returned the greeting and said,
"Brother Lin is so complimentary. I just have some crude knowledge and know some strange skills. It's far from as good as Brother Lin's Lin Family Spear."
These two simple sentences made Nie Chen's impression in Lin Guang's heart much better.
Being capable without being arrogant is really rare for a young person.
What's more, the boss also said that Nie Chen was his successor, which meant that Nie Chen would inherit this village from now on.
Lin Guang has a sharp eye, and he can see at a glance how huge the potential of this copycat is. As long as these weapons can be mass-produced, it will not be a dream to become the king in the future.
This is not the second master, this is clearly the young master.
"Brother Lin, don't wait for tomorrow. I'm going to make you a fine steel gun right away. It's guaranteed to be much stronger and tougher than the one you have in your hand."
As he spoke, Nie Chen turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by the boss by the collar.
"What's wrong, Boss?"
Nie Chen was shocked and confused.
"Where are you going? Come here and practice swordsmanship with me. I'm the second master of the family. I can only take care of logistics. Is that okay? In the future, you will lead your brothers into battle to kill the enemy."
The headmaster shouted coldly.
Nie Chen thought about it and felt that it made sense. In these troubled times, it would not hurt to learn some martial arts. Having too many skills would not be a burden.
"Okay then, from now on I will come here every morning to practice my swordsmanship, and in the afternoon I will go and watch the factory."
Nie Chen looked at the dozens of kilograms of swords in the headmaster's hand, shook his head silently, turned around and brought a black iron sword over.
The headmaster called Da Zhuang and Lin Guang over and said,
"Now we have one hundred cavalry, one hundred heavy crossbowmen, four hundred spearmen, and four hundred sword crossbowmen.
In this way, Lin Guang, the cavalry and spearmen will be trained by you, and the crossbowmen and heavy crossbowmen will be trained by Da Zhuang.
This is just the team during training. When the war comes, the team will need to be adjusted again.
Lin Guang, Da Zhuang, both of you are generals of our Qingfeng Village. Although our troops are small now, I believe there will be more in the future, and then you will be able to command more troops.
Give them all good training. In the future, they will all be the backbone of our army, and they will all be captains. "
"I will obey your orders!"
Da Zhuang and Lin Guang shouted in unison.
After hearing the military order, these two people with military backgrounds reflexively used the military titles.
Lin Guang looked at the people behind him and made up his mind to train them well.
Everyone knows the importance of middle- and low-level officers. After the soldiers die, they can be recruited again. If there is a gap in the officers, then the new recruits recruited will not be able to understand military orders, and will not know how to respond to emergencies. There will be no Any combat capability.
The sword technique entrusted to Nie Chen by the master is a typical military sword technique, called the Formation-Breaking Knife. It has no fancy martial arts, it is simple but extremely practical. It can be used to open and close, go straight to the vital point, and strive to eliminate the enemy as soon as possible. combat effectiveness.
In the next ten days, the factory buildings and walls in Qingfeng Village were almost completed. The workers also started working, and weapons were produced like an assembly line.
Every soldier in Qingfeng Village has a repeating crossbow hanging on his body, and the weapons he holds in his hand are made of black iron, which are extremely sharp. This army has already taken the form of an elite soldier.
This morning, Nie Chen had just finished sword practice and was sweating profusely when Shouhou suddenly ran over and said he had news to report.
The headmaster called Nie Chen, Weng Qiucian, Da Zhuang, and Lin Guang to the Juyi Hall to listen to Shou Hou's report.
Just to mention briefly, Qingfeng Village now has a scout team of fifty people, under the jurisdiction of Shouhou.
"Master Qi, I have two pieces of news."
The thin monkey said quickly,
"The first news is that Heifengling secretly colluded with bandits from several cottages. The news that our family has a mine was leaked. Zhang Taonian told the bosses of those cottages that they would destroy our Qingfeng Village and give them the minerals. Several families share it equally.
Now they are plotting to attack our Qingfeng Village together. The specific time has not been determined yet, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to wrangling. "
“Did the mining news leak?”
Da Zhuang frowned.
Nie Chen smiled easily and said,
"This is inevitable. There are more than 2,000 people working in Qingfeng Village now, and there are many people talking. No one can guarantee that everyone will keep their mouths shut. After all, everyone has relatives and friends.
Not to mention the minerals, even the news about me in Qingfeng Village will be leaked out soon, and then the Liu family's spearhead will be aimed at our Qingfeng Village. "
The boss snorted coldly,
"It's okay, don't be afraid. They're just a bunch of bandits. If they dare to attack, our thousand elite soldiers will definitely give them a head-on attack."
Nie Chen nodded,
"Indeed, there are many bandits in Qingshui County and it's a mess. It's time to rectify it. After we defeat those bandits, we can then destroy Heifeng Ridge and let them know how powerful we are. Then we can recruit all the bandits in Qingshui County. .
While expanding our strength, we can also promote our Qingfeng Village's good reputation for upholding justice and lay the foundation for future recruitment. "
Weng Qiuchan frowned and said,
"It's just that in this case, we have to directly confront the county government. The county government will not sit back and watch us become bigger and stronger."
Nie Chen chuckled and said lightly,
"Are we afraid?"
The boss smiled and said,
"Yes, we now have thousands of elite soldiers. After these battles, our strength will expand even more. By then, the one who is afraid should be the county magistrate."
Thin Monkey then said,
"Master, the second news is that the county government has sent five hundred troops to go to Niubao Mountain to suppress the bandits again."
Poor Niujie Mountain...
Nie Chen mourned silently in his heart, while the leader, Da Zhuang, and Weng Qiuchan both burst into laughter.
"I have nothing to do, let's go and have a look."
The leader waved his hand, led everyone on their horses, and rushed towards the top of the mountain near Niujie Mountain.
They came to the place where they watched the last battle again. Everyone looked towards Niubao Mountain and saw five hundred officers and soldiers below, rushing towards the mountain in a mighty manner.
"Shouhou, how many people are there in Niukui Mountain now?"
Nie Chen asked.
"If we go back to the second master's house, there are now more than 200 bandits in Niu Kui Mountain. They are all newly recruited by Ma Niu Kui, and some of them were kidnapped by him."
"There are more than two hundred local hooligans, a mob. People like this will probably have to go their separate ways when a disaster strikes. What kind of fighting power can we expect from them?"
Nie Chen smiled contemptuously.
The boss smiled and said,
"At least Ma Niu has made some progress this time. He knows how to arrange an ambush halfway up the mountain. Look, the big rocks are ready. This is what we learned from the battle we had a few days ago."
Nie Chen raised his eyes and looked up, and sure enough, he saw Ma Niuqi leading hundreds of bandits behind a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, preparing to sneak attack the officers and soldiers.
When the officers and soldiers reached the halfway point of the mountain, they shouted loudly and threw stones down.
