After Shaman Town was attacked, Feng Zhang did not react in anger to retaliate by being provoked by the pirates. It has been so long since the incident, but now he is using the excuse that Shaman Town was sneak attacked by pirates and said that he would gather troops to sweep the pirates. Li Jing would not believe this reason at all, and it was the Feng family's Cat Island that had just been settled, and he was going to sweep the pirates. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was revenge for the attack on Feng family's Cat Island, and it was not for the attack on Shaman Town.

Feng Zhang wanted to gather troops to sweep away the pirates, but Li Jing, the mastermind of the Cat Island attack, was not interested in following. Although Da Xiezhai was a direct superior of Shamen Town and Feng Zhang was also Li Jing's immediate boss, in the current situation, it was obvious that Li Jing would not buy Feng Zhang's account and would find an excuse not to listen to his military orders. Even if Feng Zhang knew that Li Jing did not take him seriously, there was no way.

Generals were arrogant and soldiers were arrogant and generals! This was the case in all the vassal states of the late Tang Dynasty. Li Jing could have wiped out more than 1,000 people from the one-eyed dragon, which fully demonstrated that Li Jing's strength was not the superficial 300 soldiers. If he could annihilate thousands of pirates, his troops were at least twice as many as those of the pirates. Feng Zhang's Da Xie Village had only 3,000 soldiers, but he himself had 500 clans. If he added the private soldiers of the several fortress garrison lieutenants below, Da Xie Village had at least 5,000 troops.

Even so, unless Feng Zhangzhen is confident that he can eliminate all the forces of Li Jing's Shamen Town in one fell swoop, he would have no choice but to face Li Jing's rebellious subordinate.

Li Jing believed that Feng Zhang would not rashly attack him directly, and even if he reached that point, he would not be afraid. Therefore, now Li Jing was not willing to maintain the seemingly politeness, so he directly sent someone to give Feng Zhang a message even if he refused the order to send troops.

Li Jing took the lead in handing over the 300 horses to Lin Wu, the cavalry instructor. The two teams of the two gangs of the 10th and 20th teams of the 10th and 20th teams of Li Jing's battalion commanded the capital, a total of twenty-two teams, each team with a cavalry group, with a total of 264 cavalrymen. Each cavalry came happily to collect one of his own war horses, ending the embarrassing situation where the cavalry could only ride a donkey and a mule to pick up the horse.

There were 36 war horses left, and the officers of each battalion and capital were slandering this. However, Li Jing did not distribute the horses to the officers, but directly waved his hand and assigned the remaining 36 war horses to Li Wei's reconnaissance capital. This result made the officers look disappointed, but made Li Wei, monk Xuancheng, Duan Shan and other reconnaissance capital extremely excited. In this battle on Cat Island, they ranked first. Not only did everyone receive a heavy reward, but Li Jing also added a special team to the reconnaissance team. Now he has won thirty-six excellent war horses at once, and all the reconnaissance soldiers have glory on their faces.

Li Wei's face was almost overwhelmed with a smile. The reconnaissance had only ten small boats before, but now it has added 36 and six war horses, all of which can be equipped with three gangs. Although there is no need for horses on the island, this means that the reconnaissance is valued. He has always believed in what Li Jing said, "It is impossible for them to stay on the island all the time, and they will go to the land one day."

When the thousand new sets of equipment were shipped off the ship, Li Jing, Lin Wei and others were all very moved. The batch of weapons had been ordered before they arrived in Shamen Town. Originally, they planned to be the main equipment of Shamen Town Army. However, Song Wen dragged them until they were shipped not long ago, but they were robbed by Feng Zhang halfway. In the end, Li Jing personally went on a horse and worked hard to capture the Cat Island in the East China Sea before getting it back.

A total of 1,000 sets of equipment, what Li Jing most looked forward to was the two hundred Mo Dao. There were 264 Mo Daoists in the Battle Barracks, but now there was not a single Mo Daoist. This time, although these two hundred still cannot be fully equipped, at least 60% of Mo Daoists can be equipped first.

"Can our craftsmen make Modao?" Li Jing asked Zhang Hong. Although Modao is expensive, Li Jing had designed the Modao in the previous combat troops organization. The power of Modao has always been praised by officers such as Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Zhang Chengzong, and Li Shugen who have personally seen the sharp performance of the Modao team on the battlefield.

"Our own craftsmen are not good. No one has ever made Modao in the Wang Family Armory Shop. Modao is a very demanding thing. If ordinary craftsmen have not made it, they cannot be made at all. Even if they are forced to make it, they are not so sophisticated." Zhang Hong shook his head and pointed at an old man among the group of craftsmen who were unloading goods on the dock and said, "Did you see a good old man? It is said that he was originally a Beijing Chang'an who specially built the military armies for the Shence Army, and he was also an old craftsman who specialized in building Modao."

Li Jing looked at the white-bearded old man with a bent back and frowned, "At such a big age, can he still build a Modao?"

Zhang Hong smiled: "He must be unable. He had already retreated ten years ago. However, last year, the Feng family specially invited him from Chang'an to Duli Town to help manage the craftsmen of the Fengjia Armory Workshop in Duli Town and were responsible for guiding the craftsmen. When the general captured Cat Island, the old man was inspecting the ordnance made by the craftsmen on the island, and was caught in one net. The old man is in good health. Look at his age, he can still carry a pack of 60 kilograms of rice. Let's give him some treatment. I believe he will help us carefully guide several craftsmen to build the Modao we need."

"But these craftsmen have agreed to return to Donghai. If you borrow it, you have to say to them first, and we will borrow it for now and then return it to them."

Li Jing looked at Lin Wei and Wang Chong who had already brought the officers from the war barracks to collect the ordnance and asked, "Have the soldiers sent all the ordnances after the expansion?"

"It's not enough. We first had three hundred sets of equipment. Later, we got a little from Da Xie Fort and then built a little by ourselves. Then after annihilated the one-eyed dragon, we seized a thousand sets. Da Xie Fort later gave four hundred sets of old clothes, and the governor of Song also pulled out a batch of old weapons. In short, if we add the current batch, the horizontal swords of the two thousand people in the war camp, and the bows and arrows were all ready, and the spears, square shields, round shields, and war horses were also ready. What is not yet complete is Mo Dao Hand's Mo Dao Hand, only two hundred, and Mo Dao Hand has 264 people. If we count some preparations, at least three hundred are needed, and Mo Dao Hand is still missing one hundred. In addition, although the bows and crossbows of the archer are enough, there are too few heavy crossbows and catapults, and the number of spear throwers is too small."

"Let me find a way to get the equipment of the war barracks first, how about the armor?"

"We have no shortage of armor. We used to have 300 sets of iron armor, and later we seized 300 sets of iron armor and 500 sets of leather armor. This time we have 1,000 sets of iron armor and 300 sets of iron armor seized from Cat Island. Currently, we have 1,900 sets of iron armor and 500 sets of leather armor. The battle barracks are half iron armor and half leather armor. The auxiliary barracks do not match armor. Therefore, the armor of our battle barracks is now completely enough. Even the other direct subordinates are also equipped with leather armor. Therefore, we still have 900 sets of iron armor, but the leather armor is still a few hundred sets of less than a few hundred sets of leather armor."

Li Jing nodded, "Have the 1,000 sets of equipment from the Auxiliary Barracks been built? This time I brought back two hundred round shields from Liaodong. The batch of weapons we bought also had one thousand round shields. The shields of the Auxiliary Barracks are enough. How are the other equipments being built?"

"According to the general, the auxiliary barracks are enough, and the other 1,000 helmets are also available in our newly arrived armoured group. In addition, the auxiliary barracks are not equipped with armor but with combat robes. These robes have been handed over to the clothing workshop to make. The first batch has been rushed out and completely controlled the general's request. In addition, the horizontal swords that the auxiliary barracks are in stock, which is completely enough. The only one that is not fully equipped with the auxiliary barracks is their 18-meter-side spear. At present, I have asked the military barracks to make the military barracks with all their strength. I have placed a list of 1,500 military barracks. The military barracks replied that they can be delivered within a month." Zhang Hong looked through the account book in his hand and replied seriously.

"One hundred Modao, one thousand five hundred stair spears, then heavy crossbow chariots, catapult chariots, spear throwers, leather armor is not enough. Well, let the military yard first make the stair spears first. Just borrow the old craftsman as you said, and just borrow the craftsmen from Donghai. Anyway, they can't go back for a while now, so they can simply borrow these craftsmen to build the stairs."

Li Jing specifically explained that this batch of newly arrived ordnance was of high quality, so he equipped them all to the combat barracks, then the reconnaissance, and finally the auxiliary barracks. As for non-combat units such as logistics, supplies, and medical units, although they were equipped with weapons, their weapons were replaced with old armies installed from the combat barracks. Each person, a horizontal knife and a spear, a bow, a pot of arrows, a log shield and a battle robe. Anyway, Li Jing was planning to use them as non-combat units, and he did not intend to transfer these people to the battlefield to fight unless he had no choice.

After the matter was assigned, Li Jing left Zhang Hong and others on Niutuozi Island, and he took the Whitebeard and other pirate leaders, Megan, Julie, etc., and Li Huier, Yu Youniang and others to dock at Taishan Pier and return to Shamen Town.

Once you climb to Taishan Wharf, there are three small ridges with a circumference of fifty steps built with a triangular formation of up to six meters and rocks. These three ridges are tall and sturdy, with five floors above and below. Each fortress can house one hundred archers. On the top floor, they are not only equipped with beacon alarm devices, but also equipped with ten Fuyuan heavy crossbows. This heavy crossbow that requires at least two people to cooperate and use their legs to step on, and the equipment is aimed at the mountain with a targeting tool, and the range reaches 300 steps. There are thirty heavy crossbows on the three forts, which can basically be completely blocked. In addition to Fuyuan crossbows, the soldiers in the fort are also equipped with strong bows and heavy crossbows, and there are four catapults on each fort! They can directly launch stone bullets or fireballs to attack enemy ships on the dock.

Pirates such as Whitebeard were very sensitive to shore defense fortifications. As soon as they got ashore, they immediately watched around and noticed these three towering and murderous fortresses. They couldn't help but exclaim: "I was already very surprised when I saw several arrow towers on Niutuozi Island just now. But compared with the three fortresses on this pier, it was really a witch. If these three fortresses are accompanied by two or three hundred archers, even if one or two thousand people attacked, they would not want to rush to land on this pier."

Li Jing chuckled. The last time he was attacked by the one-eyed dragon, if it weren't for Gongsun Lan's half-true information, Shamen Town would have been gone. After suffering such a loss, Li Jing was shocked to be soaked afterwards. As his foundation, Shamen Island would not dare to be careless.

While building the new castle, he immediately sent people to build some simple fortifications on the three attached outer islands. On the surface, it was used as a training base, but in fact it was to serve as a warning to protect Shaman Island. Moreover, Li Jing attached more importance to the four piers on the island. Shaman Island has a unique terrain. Except for the four piers in the existing ones, the other coasts are full of rocky reefs, and a large number of people and horses are difficult to land in those places to raid.

After reclaiming the four wharfs, he had sent people to build the dock fortress. Each wharf had three small bastions of six feet high and fifty steps circumference, and were equipped with ten Fuyuan heavy crossbows and four catapults. Together, the four wharfs had twelve bastions, one hundred and twenty Fuyuan heavy crossbows, and forty-eight catapults.

This configuration has increased the defense of the four wharfs to a very abnormal level. It can be said that Shaman Island is now loose inside and tight outside, and the fort city in the center of the island is still under intense construction. Don’t think that Shaman Town’s defense is not good. Just seeing the twelve towering fortresses is enough to scare away most people who want to attack Shaman Island.

The experienced pirate leader such as the white beard was startled to sweat after seeing the defensive arrangement of the pier. Faced with such a heavily guarded Shaman Island, he would rather attack Cat Island again.

"No wonder Brother Ji Yu is just a general, but he dares not care about Feng Zhang at all. Not only does he expand his army, but he also needs to form a fleet. If I had such a strong territory, I would not take Feng Zhang seriously. However, how much does it cost to arrange such a defense?"

Li Jing chuckled: "So, we have to cooperate more in the future and find the right opportunity. As for this time, we can do a few votes!"

After walking for a few miles, I passed by the foot of Phoenix Mountain, and the rising new city of Shamen Town was revealed in front of everyone.

If the hideous fortresses on the dock surprised the Whitebeard and other pirates, then the new town where tens of thousands of people are busy building is really shocked. Several pirate leaders even opened their mouths and forgot to close them.

"Oh my God, what a big castle is built. I think after it is completed, I'm afraid that the town of Biduli will not be much worse."

"You guys are too exaggerating!" Li Jing explained, "After the new city is completed, it will be one-seventh of Dengzhou City. If it is compared with Duli Town, which has a population of 500,000, it will be even less worth mentioning. Now, the construction schedule is tight, there are more people building the city, and the scene is a bit messy. You all, in short, when you arrive in Shamen Town, you will think that you are at your own home. Don't be polite. Now, let's hold a banquet first, eat good wine and meat and eat it with him, and stop drunk!"

"I will stop drunk!" Finally leaving Liaohai, the pirates felt much more relaxed. The white beard smiled, "But I only drink Wuliangye, I won't drink other wine!"
Chapter completed!
