Chapter 156: The Sword of Conda
When they arrived at the barracks under the south wall of Kangda City, Wu Mian and Zhuge Qing got off the carriage. A middle-aged man in military uniform came up and clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers, Zhao Zhicai, have met Lord Kong and Lord Zhuge."
Wu Mian nodded slightly and bowed and said, "Mr. Zhao is polite."
Zhuge Qing also smiled and said, "You are polite, Lord Zhao."
After a few greetings, Zhao Zhicai led the two into the barracks.
Wu Mian glanced around and found that the layout of the barracks here was quite similar to that of Bieyunguan in Changshang. However, compared with Bieyunguan, it seemed more rough and heavy. There were obvious traces of sword scratching on the walls and pillars, revealing a ruthless evil spirit.
This is the real barracks!
Bie Yunguan was just changed to the appearance of a barracks. Although it was so serious and solemn, it lacked the blood-evil energy that the barracks should have. Even if there was, it was on those soldiers, not Bie Yunguan itself. And this barracks in Kangda City did not require any soldiers, and people could see the scene of soldiers performing martial arts, and the blood in their hearts could not help but be burning.
In the barracks, there were many soldiers who were practicing with swords and shields. The upper body was naked, and the sweat flowing from the strong muscles moistened the ground. After the sweat evaporated, it formed a transpiration hot air and emitted it. The sour and odor were mixed with throbbing vitality.
"They are all good guys."
Wu Mian exclaimed.
Zhao Zhi, who led him and Zhuge Qing into the barracks, bent his lips and grinned at the soldiers in training, shouting: "Did you hear that? The magistrate said you are good men!"
"ha!"
The soldiers suddenly stood up and shouted, their voices shaking like thunder, and the dust hidden on the eaves was shaken down.
Wu Mian was shocked by their sudden shouts. Fortunately, he had practiced it, and after putting on makeup as Kong Wenxuan, there were a lot of cosmetics on his face, and the subtle expressions were difficult to show, so he did not show any signs that he should not have shown.
Zhao Zhiyi glanced at Wu Mian indifferently. Seeing that Wu Mian had no special performance, he just looked at the soldiers in the drill with a little appreciation, nodded slightly, then reached out to lead the way, and smiled while leading the way: "Sir Kong, please. The arsenal is here."
"Um!"
Nodded without any indication, Wu Mian followed Zhao Zhi in the direction he led.
However, looking at Zhao Zhicai's back, Wu Mian narrowed his eyes unobstructedly.
This guy is giving me a warning!
Tsk tsk tsk…the people here are so unfriendly!
The grain warehouse was warning, and the arsenal came to make a move. This was bullying me as a foreigner. Do you have no connections here?
What would you do if it was a senior brother?
He was quite calm. Maybe he didn't see it, and then checked and balanced the factions one by one.
I'll do this for now... This is the safest thing. I just don't know what Old Man Zhuge thinks...
After glanced at Zhuge Qing, Wu Mian smacked his lips in his heart, and then silently followed Zhao Zhi to a warehouse with a backed wall.
"This is the arsenal." Zhao Zhiche said, taking out a key from his arms, opening the warehouse, and then letting his body go: "Sir, don't go in first, let it get some air in it. The smell here is not pleasant."
In fact, there is no need to remind Zhao Zhique. When the warehouse was opened, Wu Mian smelled a strong smell of iron and the characteristic materials for maintenance of iron, and other mixed smells mixed together, making people feel a little dizzy when they smelled it.
After retreating a little, Wu Mian smiled faintly and said, "It depends on the arrangements of Lord Zhao."
Zhao Zhi made a joke and then said, "Before looking, let me tell you what's in it. There are 1,500 pairs of swords and shields, 1,500 iron armor, 300 cloth armor, 100 powerful crossbows, 200 strong bows, 1,000 supporting arrows, and 3,000 long spears, all of which are good products!"
What a guy! It’s worthy of being the political center of Langzhou. The arsenal of a city alone has so many weapons! This can bring at least five thousand troops!
Wu Mian's eyes lit up.
The weapons in the arsenal are separated from the weapons in the standing army, which means that the weapons stored in the arsenal can bring out at least five thousand troops!
There is no large amount of five thousand soldiers, but there is no war in the Song Dynasty Chengping, and Kangda City is not in a major frontier town. The five thousand soldiers are already too much. The control is enough to control the victory or defeat of a large-scale battle!
However, Wu Mian's brows frowned again.
According to the regulations of the State of Song, the number of soldiers and soldiers in each state and city are specified. Isn’t the number of soldiers in Kangda City too much?
With this doubt in mind, Wu Mian glanced at Zhuge Qing and saw that his brows also frowned. Then he looked at Zhao Zhicai, stared for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Why does Kangda Armor store so many weapons?"
Zhao Zhiqi answered without panic in the face of Wu Mian's gaze: "Sir, I don't know anything about it. Kangda City is the real barrier of the southern border of the Song Dynasty. If something happens in the Shufang City, Kangda City needs to rush to help immediately. The ancient city is equipped with three thousand elite soldiers and arsenal of weapons to be prepared for the situation."
Beware of it?
Wu Mian suddenly remembered the agreement between Song and Wei that he learned not long ago, and knew that Shufang City had only 10,000 people. But if the Wei State invaded, how could ten thousand people be enough?
It just so happens that there is a direct official road from Kangda City to Shufang City. If there is a problem, you can indeed rush to Shufang City as quickly as possible.
Thinking of this, Wu Mian nodded: "So that's it."
As for whether this is true or not, we can only investigate later. He only needs this reason for the time being, and he only dares to believe this reason.
After waiting for a while, the smell in the arsenal finally dissipated to an acceptable level.
Zhao Zhique led Wu Mian and Zhuge Qing into the arsenal.
In the very strong smell of metal and oil, Wu Mian saw huge wooden boxes after rows of weapons and racks neatly arranged.
The wooden box was sealed, but nothing could be seen, but the swords, shields, spears placed on the weapon stand were all flashing with sharp cold lights, and the murderous intent was growing silently.
"There are arrows and crossbows in the box."
Zhao Zhiqi said as he opened a wooden box, revealing the neatly arranged arrows inside. A layer of straw was covered with under the arrows.
"Although the weather in Langzhou is dry and saves a lot of moisture-proof measures, arrows are a bit expensive after all, and are not as easy to maintain as swords, shields and spears, so they are all packed in boxes. One box of hundreds of pieces, a total of ten boxes."
Wu Mian stepped forward and picked up an arrow and looked it up. He found that the weight of the arrow was quite heavy. Although it was far less than his fallen arrow, it was slightly heavier than ordinary arrows. The arrow body was straight, the clusters were clearly distinguished, and the arrow heads were sharp and sharp, which was considered a good arrow.
Let’s look at the sword and shield on the shelf.
The knife uses an axe blade, which is not sharp, but it is enough to cut. Moreover, it is not a good thing to drive weapons on the battlefield too sharp, and it is easy to break.
The shield is basically made of wood, about the thickness of an ordinary person, and the outer side is covered with a layer of iron.
Wu Mian reached out and picked up a side, and found that the weight was heavy. After knocking it, the shield made a dull sound, showing its own quality.
It is probably not easy to pierce with one sword, let alone chop. If you ask a few people with such shields to surround me, unless they don’t cooperate well and give me a chance to break through, I will have to wait for death.
The scene of himself being beaten by a group of people holding shields appeared in his mind. Wu Mian unconsciously twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.
If you expect the army's people to cooperate well, it would be better to expect your light skills to be better, run faster, and escape before you are surrounded.
After replacing the shield, Wu Mian walked around the arsenal, carefully checked the maintenance of most of the weapons, and teased Zhao Zhi: "Mr. Zhao is intent, Kangda's sword, because Master is sharp."
Kanda's Sword? What's the thing?
Zhao Zhiqi was stunned for a moment, and could only hear Wu Mian's words with a sense of praise, and then replied with a smile: "Sir, I'm too rewarded, how can I afford to say this to the adults?"
Zhuge Qing, who was standing beside him, could hear what Wu Mian said.
Zhuangzi once left the saying of the three swords, saying it was the emperor, the princes, and the common people.
The emperor's sword is made of Yanxiushishicheng as the edge, Qidai as the edge; Jinwei as the ridge, Zhou and Song as the guinea pig, Han and Wei as the clamp; wrap the four barbarians, wrap the four seasons; surround the Bohai Sea and carry the Changshan Mountain; control the five elements, and discuss the punishment of virtue; open the yin and yang, hold it in spring and summer, and move in autumn and winter.
This sword is straight and has no forward, it is superior, it is no lower, it is no side, it is no side, it is no better to do so. The upper part determines the clouds and the lower part is the sacred record. With this sword, it will help the princes to conquer the world.
The swords of the princes use the knowledge of warriors as the edge, the honest and virtuous as the backbone, the loyal and sage as the tale, and the heroes as the clamp.
This sword is straight and has no forward, it is superior, it is no lower, it is no lower, and it is no side. The upper method is round the sky to follow the three lights, the lower method is square and the lower method is square and the four seasons, and the centralization of the public's will to ensure peace to the four towns. When this sword is used, it is like the shock of thunder. In the four seals, all people will obey the king's orders.
Wu Mian's words were borrowed from this statement and regarded Zhao Zhicai and Kangdacheng's military power as swords.
Zhuge Qing was not surprised at all.
This is the behavior that the disciples of Haotian Sect should have, and it is also the true power of the disciples of Haotian Sect.
Among the Three Immortal Sects, the disciples of Haotian Sect have the weakest personal strength, but their overall strength is the strongest.
This is not only because the number of Haotian Sect disciples is the largest, but also because Haotian Sect disciples are best at harmonizing various forces and utilizing the power of various forces.
In Zhuge Qing's impression, all the masters of Haotianmen in all dynasties made chess with heaven and earth.
Although there are many such masters in Taixuan Sect, the current Taixuan Sect is more inclined to be born than to practice worldly cultivation, which leads to the fact that compared with Haotian Sect, which actively enters the world and specializes in cultivating talents in this area, the number of such masters is simply incomparable.
Although this kid has only been in the first place for a few days, he has already touched the mystery of Haotian Sect. It’s really amazing!
But the soldiers are the front... I don’t know where the front is going to?
