Chapter 72 Ordnance
However, outside the Xidu of Beiliang, a grand competition was held. A group of young men in Beiliang were competing with martial arts and tried their best. Some of them were even more popular. Some of the winning young men were enjoying the cheers of the crowd, but they saw that there were fewer people watching. After asking, they all ran to the city gate to watch the fun. The young men were stolen, so they were naturally not very happy and came to check the situation.
When I got here, I saw a lot of people. They rode on horseback and could see Xiao Tianlei and others from afar, especially Xiao Tianlei riding a big wild boar. Just looking at his body and appearance, it was scary. His majestic appearance stole all the attention! A group of young men from Beiliang had a hot forehead and ran out to challenge, proving that they were the protagonists of today. They also knew that they would definitely not be able to beat the big wild boar, but it should be no problem to challenge the people riding on it.
The people of Beiliang are martial, and martial arts competitions are very common. Even civilian warriors can challenge the princes and princes in the street. In the competition, no matter how powerful they are, it is useless. If you defeat them, you have to recognize them. The winner will receive the glory of the winner, and the loser will receive the respect he deserves.
He listened to the Di guards left by Xiao Tianlei about some customs and customs. Xiao Tianlei also understood the difference between Beiliang and Daxia. Since he arrived in Beiliang, he had to follow the customs and was not opposed to martial arts competitions, showed some strength, and was more convenient to do things. However, he really looked down on these people, but since these young people blocked their way, he had to teach him a lesson. Xiao Tianlei hated blocking the way the most.
In the private chat system, several brothers discussed it, and Wu Meng rode Qianjun toward him and said, "Hey, the competition, I'll try your best, let's talk about it, look at the fist!" But he said that he would hit him and punch him.
The young man in the lead was named Tuoba Tuotuo. Among the young people in Xidu, he was famous for his bravery. Tuoba Tuotuo did not expect that the other party would do it when he said he would do it. However, he reacted quickly, and he plucked up his energy to resist and shouted: "Ah!"
Bang!
I saw Wu Meng punching an old fist, what a guy! His strength was so strong that he rushed into the Tuoba Tuotuo's qi. Tuoba Tuotuo was directly knocked out of the horse's back, and his whole body was stuck to the wall on the side of the city gate and slowly slid down. When he saw Wu Meng's huge fist, some smoke was coming out of the smoke.
"Just this skill, you still have to compete in martial arts!" Wu Meng said, blowing his fist.
At the competition and horse racing competition just now, Tuoba Tuotuo achieved excellent results. Everyone in Xidu knows that Tuoba Tuotuo's martial arts are definitely among the younger generations of the same generation. They were simply cleaned up with one punch, and it seemed that they had no use of energy. They all depended on their strength. The surroundings suddenly fell into silence. Many people were so shocked that they grew big, and they kicked Wu Meng's huge fists, thick arms, and explosive muscles. They swallowed each other, and then burst into cheers.
"Who wants to try my fists?" Wu Meng asked, staring at the young men who were in the way.
"I'll meet you! Wow!" Of course, these young men were dissatisfied, thinking that Tuoba Tuotuo was just careless. One of them rushed out with an iron stick. The man was named Dahu Yeli, who was also a good player among the young generation of Xidu. Seeing Wu Meng's huge body, he thought Wu Meng would definitely not be too agile, so Dahu Yeli used equestrian and stick techniques.
when!
A loud sound, almost the same scene as Tuoba Tuotuo reenacted. The big fox Yeli wanted to play skills, and Wu Meng played with one force to subdue ten times. The Zuan Madman gave him super power. Even without using the qi, most warriors could not bear it. Although they were huge, their flexibility and reaction ability were faster than ordinary people. On the front was a fancy punch, which hit the middle of the iron rod. The iron rod could not bear the huge force and was beaten to the whole bend. The big fox Yeli and the iron rod flew out together, and the people around him were shocked again. Looking at the bent iron rod, their eyes were round.
"Who else wants to compete?" Wu Meng asked again.
The remaining young men who blocked the road looked at me, I looked at you, Takuba Tuotuo, and Dahu Yeli were both beaten away with one punch, and they had almost no power to resist. The others would probably end up the same way.
Woo woo!
At this moment, a loud horn sounded, and a soldier came from the gate of Xidu City. Xiao Tianlei sat high and looked far away. He saw that the two young generals led by the soldiers, but not Xiao Tieyi and Xiao Tieji, two brothers, rode a war horse that looked good, wearing silver armor, but was much more majestic than the last time he saw it.
Xiao Tieji and Xiao Tieyi came to welcome Xiao Tianlei and his party. As soon as they arrived, they saw Tuoba Tuotuo. The big fox Yeli fell on both sides of the city gate. When asked about the situation, they immediately looked at each other. Their small clan uncle was all in the same style and they didn't do anything else. In order to avoid any more trouble, they didn't talk nonsense, so that some people could be dispersed and allowed Xiao Tianlei and his party to continue moving forward.
When entering Xidu, Xiao Tianlei and his party did not go to the inn, but were arranged to live in a mansion. After a day of rest, they went out to Xidu to go around. Of course, they didn't ride steel manes, but just rode ordinary horses.
Xidu is also a big city with a large population and very lively. Unlike normal cities, the whole city is full of military atmosphere and it is about to start war. Many people in the city are very busy, especially blacksmith shops. The jingling sounds are endless. Teams of soldiers come and go on the streets, and various supplies, equipment, and food are constantly being sent to the front line. What is discussed in teahouses and wine shops are basically about war, and no matter the people or the listeners, they are all excited.
The Daxia conquest of Beiliang this time was a big fanfare. A few years ago, Daxia suffered a defeat and lost land in several counties on the border. Now it is to find the place and recover the lost land. It is said that hundreds of thousands of troops were sent, and generals gathered. Beiliang also mobilized many generals to fight, and the war was about to break out.
Although the war has not officially begun, all-round struggles have begun. Some secret spies hidden from each other have begun to act, spy on military intelligence, some martial arts warriors with high martial arts are sabotaging, assassins assassinating generals, etc. Xidu is also very cautious. Xiao Tieji also specifically told Xiao Tianlei to be very careful and not be exploited by some secret spies.
After a day off, Xiao Tianlei started to do a serious business the next day and traded with Xiao Tianyou. When he was in Rongzhou, he had already told the Brotherhood caravan to send someone to handle the matter. I believe that a group of personnel from the Brotherhood arrived in a while and transferred some personnel to guide silage technology and feed technology, as well as the drawings of lawn mowers. However, since Xiao Tianlei arrived here first, he could already do the preliminary work, and he also wanted to complete the transaction earlier.
Xiao Tianyou had already explained this matter, attached great importance to it, and required strict confidentiality. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei and others were taken to workshops that provided some weapons for the Northern Liang army. Daxia and Northern Liang both sent spies to each other, and these workshops had relatively strict protection and confidentiality measures.
Xiao Tianlei plans to provide Beiliang with silage technology and feed technology, both of which are simplified versions, because both require the use of some special technologies from Wild Boar Ridge, such as silage technology, which requires the construction of some sealable ponds. It is best to use Wild Boar Ridge cement. When it comes to Beiliang, Xiao Tianlei cannot still boil cement, but he can boil glutinous rice and add other materials to replace cement. Other mills, steaming, mixing, pressing, etc., use Wild Boar Ridge machinery, which is much more efficient. For Beiliang, many of them have to be done manually. Anyway, there are many people. Even so, Xiao Tianlei still feels that he is at a disadvantage. Teaching those craftsmen some methods of doing things will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of Beiliang military workshops.
However, it is not completely beneficial. At least, Xiao Tianlei and others can walk around more freely in the military workshop, and Xiao Tianlei can also see the war equipment in this world.
When Xiao Tianlei was a child, he heard cannons, fire dragon roars and so on in war stories. He always regarded these weapons as firearms. When he saw some real objects, he realized that they were a little different from what he thought. Although gunpowder had been installed, it was not the best proportion. Some other materials were added to it, and more of them were used to use the huge sound and flames generated by the explosion to hurt the enemy. For example, the fire dragon roar, the shape of its main structure was like a cannon, but one outside was made of a fierce one.
The evil dragon-like wooden shell has a special combustible projectile. The ping-pong ball fire dragon roars emit dozens and hundreds of burning projectiles at a time, and it is like a fire dragon spewing flames. Its lethality is not only not too far range, but the cannon almost simply scares the war horse with its sound, but its shape is even more weird. There is a hollow metal sphere at the bottom, and some other materials are added to the gunpowder, which explodes in it, making a huge sound. The opening is a loud trumpet like a loudspeaker.
Not only Beiliang, Daxia also has these technologies, and it should be more advanced.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The world's military armor technology has developed to a considerable level. The elite soldiers have strong physiques and also have the body protection of the qi. It is not the best proportion. Without further treatment, the damage power of the granulated gunpowder is really average, and it is not as good as the damage caused by sound and flames. The development of firearms has naturally taken different directions.
The most powerful one is a giant incendiary projectile that is shot out. When it is projected, the flames explode, which can cause a large area of flame damage. In addition, there are weapons similar to the flamethrowers in the early days of Wild Boar Ridge, which are very large and can spray tinder oil far away.
Xiao Tianlei also saw some siege equipment, rushing cars, siege cars, well railings, catapult cars, shield cars, etc. However, Beiliang is currently in a defensive posture and cannot be used for the time being. In addition, there are some strange weapons, some of which give Xiao Tianlei a very advanced feeling.
In fact, in terms of technology development, if it weren't for the existence of martial arts and gyro, the Gangqi might have entered the age of firearms. Of course, there are gains and losses, and this world is very high-end in the manufacturing technology of military armor. Originally, the difference between the warriors who inspired gyro and ants compared with ordinary people is like soldiers and ants in an ant colony, which is not the same level at all. A fully equipped general can easily defeat some opponents who are stronger than themselves but not equipped with equipment, and some craftsmen work hard to create can make a general an almost invincible existence on the battlefield. Therefore, the battlefield in this world mainly depends on the general. The battlefield is the world where the generals are dominated by military generals. Several first-class generals with private soldiers, like special forces, can often greatly affect the situation of the battle.
Xiao Tianlei is increasingly looking forward to it. The battle between Daxia and Beiliang is only a real war, and it is estimated that it will take some time to wait. Xiao Tianlei is not in a hurry. Lingzhou is still stable now, but it seems that some sect masters have come. Ignore them. If they dare to come, the brotherhood will not be vegetarians.
The Xidu was very cautious, and Xiao Tianlei did not go around. He usually lived in the mansions where he lived or went to the military workshop. There were some small episodes these days. That day, Tuobatutuo was beaten at the city gate, and the big fox Yeli and others came to challenge him again. For several consecutive days, the others were fine. Tuobatuotuo was beaten to the point of bruising and swollen face by Wu Meng every time, and he refused to admit defeat. Xiao Tianlei was also surprised why he was so persistent and asked casually.
"As long as I can win, Puli will definitely agree with my pursuit." Tuoba Tuotuo said shyly. His appearance, coupled with his dark circles, made people feel goose bumps. After listening to his answer, his companions were stunned.
"Then have you asked the girl?" Xiao Tianlei asked again.
"I'll go and talk to Puli before I can win." Tuoba Tuotuo was twisted, and his companions were all posing as if they didn't recognize this guy.
I met another idiot who wanted to defeat Wu Meng and pursue a girl. I guess there would be no hope in this life. What did this guy think?
"You haven't asked, how do you know what other girls think? Maybe they like you too, maybe they may not necessarily. Forget it, another idiot who takes it for granted, wasted expressions, and you should chase the girl directly. What's the matter?! Throw this idiot out for me!" Xiao Tianlei ordered impatiently.
"Oh! You said it makes sense for Puli to like me." Tuoba Tuotuo suddenly realized that he was stupid again. His partner probably felt embarrassed and dragged him out together.
After that, Tuoba Tuotuo did not come again. According to other young people, the boy really went to confess his love to the girl he liked, but he succeeded. The fight was very popular these days. The other young people did not ask for a competition anymore, and Wu Meng had completely beaten them to the point of obedience.
A few days later, a fraternity caravan arrived in Xidu and transported some goods to sell. They also brought some technicians to take over all the work that Xiao Tianlei had done before, including silage and feed production. Xiao Tianlei basically did not need to go and ask about it.
"The Brotherhood is indeed quick!"
When Xiao Tianyou arrived in Xidu, he checked the progress and was very satisfied. He expressed that the promised cold iron, black ice iron and snow stone had already been shipped and could be delivered to Xidu soon. Although the production of these strange golds in Beiliang is still very precious and needs to be accumulated a little bit. Like Daxia, it is mainly controlled by the Northern Liang court, and the control is still quite strict.
"My clan brother is comfortable in the West these days, but what do you need? You can say it directly, don't be polite." Xiao Tianyou said proudly. After inspecting the progress of the two technologies, he keenly discovered that some of the methods of doing things, when used in military workshops, will inevitably greatly improve the efficiency of military workshops, and will naturally be happy and generous.
"There's one thing really."
Xiao Tianlei wanted to choose a good horse for Jiang Kui and Xiao Tianbao. Although Huqi was good, he was not the best war horse. Moreover, the adult Huqi had no potential, and the possibility of becoming a mount of a strange beast was slim.
"Haha, I dare not say anything else, but I am not short of good horses in Beiliang."
The next day, the crowd arrived at a military horse farm outside the Xidu. On the vast grassland, all kinds of horses were galloping freely. Xiao Tianyou asked Jiang Kui and Xiao Tianbao to choose at will, of course, the premise was that they could be subdued.
After walking around, he was not satisfied with the two. It was not that there was no good horse. Xiao Tianlei was also dazzled by various BMWs, but there was no war horse that could match the two of them. It was also a limitation for warriors with a special nature of the qi.
The crowd was worried, and only a loud neighing sound of horses appeared outside the herd of horses, a horse was as dark as charcoal, but its mane was bright red as blood, with an extremely majestic and wild and unrestrained look.
"Bloody Mane!" Xiao Tianyou was shocked when he saw the horse.
"What kind of horse is the Fierce Blood Mane?" Xiao Tianbao asked.
"It is a kind of fierce horse. A horse is a good horse. It is too strong to be subdued by ordinary people. They are usually fed since childhood. Even so, there are not many people in Beiliang who can ride a bloody mane. This bloody mane is very wild, but it is much stronger than other bloody mane."
Xiao Tianyou explained, but Jiang Kui was interested. Without saying a word, he urged Huqi to pursue him. When he was several meters away from the Lie Blood Mane, he jumped and fell directly on the back of the Lie Blood Mane.
There was no saddle on the back of Liexue Mane, so it was not easy to sit on it. Moreover, Liexue Mane noticed that someone was sitting on her back and began to leaps up and down. Several times, people stood up. Jiang Kui also used his blood-colored energy and grabbed the horse mane tightly. It almost fell off several times. It was very thrilling. The battle lasted for an hour. It was not until Liexue Mane lost its strength and became honest. Jiang Kui finally had a satisfactory mount.
Only Xiao Tianbao was left with unsatisfied mounts. Unfortunately, after a long round, there was not a single horse that could withstand his lightning. As soon as he transported lightning, most horses avoided far away. Animal perception is more sensitive than humans, which are both beneficial and harmful. It is too sensitive. The electromagnetic pulses generated by the thunder and lightning will not be as insensitive as humans. Lightning itself makes most animals afraid.
Xiao Tianbao had a bitter face. Xiao Tianlei thought about it. Horses may not be suitable for Xiao Tianbao. However, in terms of mounts, there are many other options in addition to horses. Xiao Tianlei has been having an idea recently. If his idea is correct, Xiao Tianbao's mount will have a place and its combat power will soar. In fact, Xiao Tianlei's idea is also simple, which is to buy an alien hero template and use it on a suitable animal. The Thunder Roar in the hero template is a big white bear, and the attack is also thunder and lightning attributes, so it can be used as Xiao Tianbao's mount. However, whether it is successful or not, it is just a mention to Xiao Tianbao.
"Really?" Xiao Tianbao couldn't help but be surprised, "Awesome mount? Can you compare to your steel bristle?"
"Maybe stronger."
"Brother Lei, then don't just say it, give it to me quickly!" Xiao Tianbao grabbed Xiao Tianlei.
"I can't do anything, I didn't get it for nothing, you know." Xiao Tianlei shrugged, and was helpless.
Xiao Tianbao certainly understood the meaning of Xiao Tianlei's words. Although there is no concept of gold coins, after obtaining the hero template, you can also feel that every time you fight, killing someone can get some rewards, which can be used to upgrade equipment.
At present, Xiao Tianlei does not have many system gold coins in his hand. Although he fought a few games on the way to Beiliang, Lingzhou is also relatively calm. The other brothers did not fight much, so the gold coins naturally did not increase much. There are quite a lot of system gold coins needed to buy Thunder Roar. Not only gold coins, but also great risks. Big bears of strange beast levels are extremely dangerous. Where to find such a suitable big bear is also a problem.
Xiao Tianbao was so anxious that he scratched his ears and heads, and turned around in the same place.
"Let's wait! You can't find trouble if you have nothing to do. You can find a good horse first and make do with it. Go back to give it to other brothers, so you can't come in vain."
Xiao Tianlei was talking, and a cavalry rushed over from a distance. When he arrived near Xiao Tianyou, he jumped off his horse and said for a while. Di Yu said that Xiao Tianlei thought it might be some military and national affairs, and it was not his own business, but then he heard Xiao Tianyou say, "My clan brother, it's not good. The batch of cold iron, black ice iron, and snow stone I plan to deliver to you have been robbed!" To be continued.
Chapter completed!
