At this moment, they are lying here quietly.

The infantry crossbow is a weapon of war and a treasure for dealing with the Huns.

Therefore, these crossbows are maintained and painted by dedicated personnel at all times.

Once wartime comes, these properly maintained infantry crossbows can be used immediately.

"..."

On Wei Qing's side, while wandering around the crossbow warehouse asking questions, Feng Junyi also reviewed every crossbow registered in the bow and cavalry book.

The management of crossbows is quite strict. Anyone who borrows, damages or loses them must be registered and reported.

Once the verification is false, the officials in charge of this treasury will be severely fined!

For this kind of cold weapon technology that is ahead of the entire era, the official supervision of the Han Dynasty cannot be said to be lax.

"There are currently eight hundred infantry crossbows."

Wei Qing's face suddenly darkened as he looked at the detailed list of inventory, and then asked: "There were four thousand infantry crossbows in the warehouse, but now there are only more than 800 left. Where did the other 3,200 go? "

Facing Wei Qing's questioning, the treasurer who was standing nearby replied with some embarrassment: "Last year, there were three thousand infantry crossbows. They were taken away by the former prefect Zhang Yufei and used to deal with the Huns, and they were never returned..."

It turned out that it was the previous prefect Zhang Yufei's fault again. When Wei Qing heard this, he sighed helplessly.

Wei Qing really didn't know what to say to Zhang Yufei, the previous governor of Daijun.

Call him brave, he is really brave!

A civilian official, with more than 20,000 soldiers, took the initiative to leave the city and support the Yanling camp thousands of miles away.

But when it comes to giving away people’s heads, he really gives away people’s heads.

The previous governor Zhang Yufei sent away more than 20,000 soldiers, and at the same time sent away his own life.

After a defeat, in addition to numerous casualties among senior officials, generals, and soldiers, all kinds of military equipment were also lost.

No need to think about it, most of the equipment was captured by the Huns and became the enemy's property.

After the inspection, Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh: "In terms of excellent equipment alone, the county arsenal is far better than the county arsenal."

"Such a large amount of military equipment is enough to arm 50,000 infantry. This is after the previous governor lost part of it..."

"Sure enough, after decades of cultivation and cultivation by Emperors Wen and Jing, the country has indeed become much richer."

After counting the military equipment in the county arsenal, Wei Qing relied on his power to shamelessly take away 800 sets of armor, 800 spears, and 500 infantry crossbows.

You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.

As for the reasons for mobilizing military equipment, Wei Qing filled in the reason for organizing the reserve army.

After receiving this batch of military equipment, Wei Qing immediately led his soldiers and quickly left the county town of Pinglan.

This time, Wei Qing left quickly without anyone reacting.

"..."

There was no other way. Wei Qing was at odds with his immediate boss, Jun Wei Baiyuan Chong. In order to avoid being tripped up and wearing small shoes, Wei Qing had no choice but to leave the county town of Pinglan.

It happened that Liu Shou, the top governor of Dai County, gave Wei Qing the task of removing the militiamen and rural warriors from each county and organizing a reserve army of about 3,000 people.

Using this excuse, Wei Qing simply left the county town of Pinglan and went to the Mengton Mountains, the most chaotic area in Daijun County.



"I won't play with you guys anymore. I'll see you again..."

Finally, after taking a look at Pinglan, the county town, Wei Qing, who was riding on the back of his beloved horse Chunyu, shouted loudly.

"..."

To the west of Pinglan, the county town, there is a mountain group called Mengton that stretches for nearly a hundred miles.

The mountains in the Menton Mountains are all towering mountains, with steep mountains, thousands of caves and gorges, and complex terrain.

In addition, the mountains are full of wild beasts that attack people from time to time, so there are very few people living nearby.

"…………"

Desolate, barren, dangerous, and worthless, in Dai County, the Menton Mountains are equivalent to a wilderness.

In addition to a symbolically stationed battalion of about two hundred soldiers, the county government did not have any official forces stationed there, so the supervision was weak.

The Mengton Mountain Area is located in the hinterland of Dai County, but there are too many mountains and is not suitable for farming. The county government regards it as useless and does not manage it diligently.

But the attitude of the Daijun government gave those lawbreakers an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"..."

The laxity of official governance and the complex terrain have made the Mengton Mountains a happy nest and gathering place for bandits, bandits and other evil people.

More than a dozen groups of bandits and bandits of various sizes gathered here.

These bandits and bandits usually occupy the mountains as kings, but when they are short of money and food, they plunder and rob the surrounding areas!

Bandits that are wreaking havoc are a serious concern for the people in the Menton Mountains.

The fear of these murderous guys made the people fearful when going hunting and did not dare to go far.

In the Menton Mountains, bandits are everywhere, and there are so many people doing business without capital.

Here, human life is worthless, and the death of a person is as common as the death of a dog.

In February, the temperature is still very low.

In the sky, heavy snow fell like goose feathers.

In this vast white land of ice and snow, the vast and tall mountains are like an ice dragon, stretching across the land.

"..."

The Gannan Military Village built at the foot of Boshan Mountain was as quiet as an abandoned mountain village that had been abandoned for many years.

Only the occasional barking of dogs from the village brought a trace of life to the military village, which was as silent as death under the heavy snow.

The snow around the military camp has long reached people's calves, there are no footprints around, and there is no sign of human activity at all.

"..."

Outside the village, the artificially dug water lake has long been frozen. From a distance, it looks like a crystal-colored gem.

At dusk, more than a hundred vague figures suddenly appeared in the north direction of the military stronghold.

More than a hundred people, waving their whips, drove dozens of oxcarts, leaving many tracks on the snow.

"..."

At this time, four soldiers on duty were standing on the wall of the Gannan military camp.

They were wearing leather coats wrapped in old sheepskin, and they had a hat, which was buckled on their heads crookedly to protect their ears and heads to keep warm.

The two thick wooden boards of the village gate could not be closed anyway, either because they were in disrepair or for some other reason, leaving a large gap.

The four soldiers guarding the wall of the village were obviously distracted. When Wei Qing and others were about to reach the entrance of the village, they just discovered it.

When they discovered that a large number of outsiders had arrived, the four soldiers on duty quickly picked up the bronze hammer and rang the bronze bell next to them.
