Chapter 496

"Touch!"

In front of the firearm prison, a steel knife was heavily placed in front of Merton.

Merton looked at the visitor and said helplessly, "don't you come to cut me because of Liang Shanbo's death!"

The man opposite said coldly, "what do you say? Write a Liang Shanbo, which makes me shed many tears. How do you calculate this account?"

"How about making you another weapon?" Merton asked carefully.

"It's almost the same!" Qin Huaiyu laughed, put away the steel knife and hugged Merton heavily.

"Go away, I don't love Longyang!" Morton pushed Qin Huaiyu away with a disgusted face.

Qin Huaiyu immediately said with an insulted face, "who was the man Chang'an who loved Longyang before?"

Merton's face was stiff. He quickly stopped pestering on this topic and asked, "haven't you joined the army? How can you find the firearm supervisor?"

Qin Huaiyu immediately said, "I didn't leave my post without permission, but I came to you specially by the general!"

"The order of the general!" Morton was awestruck. He knew that Qin Huaiyu had directly entered Li Jing's subordinates when he joined the army.

Qin Huaiyu personally came to invite Merton. Obviously, it was Li Jing who came to invite Merton.

After Morton explained to the firearms supervisor, he immediately got up and left with Qin Huaiyu.

In the sixteen guards camp.

Merton had always known the sixteen guards before, but he didn't know that the sixteen guards camp was in the west mountain on the edge of Chang'an city. Almost all the troops were paying close attention to training, and everywhere they went was killing.

"This is the main force of the western expedition!" Merton was deeply shocked.

Qin Huaiyu nodded proudly and said, "yes, there are 12000 people in each of the 16 guards, nearly 200000 people in total. However, according to the will of the imperial court, as long as there are six guards in the western expedition, the right guard directly under General Li will go outside, and the other 15 guards only take five guards. Brother Mo can imagine how fierce the competition is."

The imperial court of the western expedition had already reached a conclusion. Only 60000 guards were dispatched, and the rest continued to defend the capital. In addition, elite troops were dispatched from all over the country to fight against Tuyuhun.

It's not that the imperial court doesn't want to send too many troops, but that the burden of food and grass is too heavy. Even with the convenience of brick roads, the food and grass consumed by 200000 troops every day is an astronomical figure.

Merton looked at the heavily armed soldiers, but his blood was boiling. He sighed in his heart. I'm afraid this is the most powerful army in the world!

"How can we be selected for the western expedition?" Merton asked. For the army, every war is an opportunity to obtain military merit. For generals, military merit is a title. For ordinary generals, military merit is a land reward. Naturally, no guard wants to miss this opportunity.

Qin Huaiyu said proudly, "naturally, the whole army is performing martial arts, and the winner will have the opportunity to march to the West."

Merton immediately marveled that Li Jing was worthy of the name of the military God. In this way, he could not only select the strongest soldiers, but also let the officers and soldiers of the 16th guard train hard, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the 16th guard.

Under the leadership of Qin Huaiyu, Merton walked all the way to the Chinese Army account of the 16th guard.

"Meet the general, Lord Mo has invited him!" Qin Huaiyu bowed to the military account.

"Come in!" Li Jing's voice came from the military tent.

Merton opened the curtain and entered the Chinese army tent. Sure enough, he saw Li Jing sitting in the main position. On both sides, there were 16 generals, including Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Jingde.

Merton is well-known in Chang'an city. Even the 16th guard is well-known. Many people looked at Merton curiously when they saw Merton coming in.

"Meet the generals!" Merton dared not be rude and quickly bowed forward.

Seeing this, Li Jing smiled and said, "don't worry. I won't let you rewrite the ending of Liang Zhu today."

The generals burst into laughter. It is obvious that the matter that the people of Chang'an blocked the door and asked the Mo house to rewrite the ending has spread to the 16th guard because of Liang Zhu these days.

Morton smiled awkwardly and quickly hugged his fist and said, "what's your drive, Mo will follow."

Li Jing stretched out his hand and said, "come on, bring up things and people!"

Morton turned curiously and saw Qin Huaiyu come in, but they were wearing civilian clothes and holding armor and weapons in each hand.

"Do you know these three people?" Li Jing asked.

Merton nodded.

Li Jing asked again, "do you know the things in the hands of the three?"

"This is a weapon produced by the Mohists," Merton admitted honestly.

"Do you know what your three good brothers did with Mohist weapons?" Li Jing patted the table and said.

Merton couldn't help rolling his eyes and said in his heart, "what can happen? If there is a big event, how can Cheng Yaojin and the three of them sit there safely?"

Merton immediately turned his face and said, "general, don't be soft hearted. These three people are stubborn. If they make mistakes, please punish them according to law. I have no complaints."

Qin Huaiyu and the three immediately glared at the speech. If they weren't in the military account at the moment, the three would have come forward to report their old fist to Merton and punish them. Of course, Merton didn't complain.

Li Jing said with a smile, "they all say your boy is very slippery. Sure enough, I didn't blame you."

The generals immediately laughed. Naturally, they were not pedantic people who could get into this position. Even Cheng Yaojin laughed happily.

Merton immediately smiled and said, "that's the boy. General Li's military skills are like a mountain. It's useless to plead."

Li Jing glanced at Qin Huaiyu and said, "these three people have wantonly competed in the army with Mohist swords. Countless swords have been damaged since January! Even the general's sword is included. Mo boy, how do you calculate this account?"

Merton looked at Qin Huaiyu in surprise. Suddenly, with the character of the three Sao Bao, he got the sword armor specially made by the Mohist school. Naturally, he would not miss the opportunity to show off. The ordinary sword is naturally not the opponent of the sword produced by the Mohist school. The matter became more and more serious. Unexpectedly, it surprised Li Jing in the end.

Merton said reluctantly, "since the weapons of the Mohist family have damaged General Li's sword, boy, I'll order the Mohist village to make a new sword to compensate the general."

"What about us? The swords used by the dignified sixteen guards general can't even compare with ordinary soldiers, can it be said?" Qin Qiong said impolitely, asking for them not only by herself, but also by everyone here.

He knew in his heart that the Mohist sword could not even compare with Li Jing's sword, and it was not too much to call it a peerless magic weapon. Everyone had been greedy for it for a long time, but was embarrassed to ask for it at the beginning.

Merton is a newcomer to the military. If he can make a good relationship with your generals with a set of weapons, it will not be of any benefit to Merton in the future.

Merton said, "the steel used in this sword is the special steel produced by the Mohist school. If you like it, in addition to the sword, I will send you a full set of armour and stomach some day to make a complete plan."

"Mo boy is cheerful. I will vent my anger for you if I am bullied in the army in the future." Cheng Yaojin said bluntly.

The other generals of the 16th guard suddenly looked happy. As generals, who doesn't love peerless swords? Qin Huaiyu was invincible in the military camp with swords produced by Mojia village. No sword can compete with it. Who can refuse such weapons?

What's more, there is a full set of armor stomach. The sword has no eyes on the battlefield. A armor made of special steel can be said to have more lives on the battlefield.

"So, such swords and swords can be mass produced in Mojia village?" Li Jing finally showed her fox tail and asked.

Merton felt a move in his heart. He immediately knew that Li Jing could invite him specially. Naturally, it was not just because of a sword. At present, he nodded and said, "the formation conditions of this steel are harsh and the output is not much, but it is enough to refine some swords. I don't know how much the general wants."

"A thousand sets!" Li Jing said to the lion.

Merton shook his head and said with a wry smile, "even if the Mohist village has saved for a year, there are not so many materials!"

"500 sets! No less, no less." Li Jing said. It was obvious that Li Jing was going to use these weapons as a top soldier.

Merton thought for a moment, nodded and said, "five hundred sets is five hundred sets, but the boy has a condition."

Li Jing got what he wanted. He was very happy in his heart. With a big hand, he said, "just say it. If the general can do it, just speak."

"On the way, I saw a small valley not far away. The boy wanted to test some gunpowder weapons in this small valley, which needed the cooperation of sixteen guards." Merton said bluntly.

Gunpowder is a secret to ordinary people, but it is not a secret to the general of the 16th guard. In addition, Merton's position as firearm supervisor is well known.

"What's the difficulty? The valley will be put in the firearm prison in the future!" Li Jing said indifferently.

Merton smiled. Since there was gunpowder, it was impossible to rush up directly with gunpowder. Merton from later generations would naturally give full play to the power of gunpowder.

Of course, testing gunpowder weapons in Chang'an City firearms supervision will certainly not work, and other places are worried about insecurity. What is more suitable than the 16th guard station?

Li Jing thought he had made a good deal, but he didn't know how much he regretted his decision in the future.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

A loud explosion resounded through the whole valley. Even after being blocked by the hills, the whole right back was still clearly audible.

"This is what Mozi called gunpowder weapon!" Li Jing frowned at the direction of the small valley.

"Go back, general! Now the firearms commissioner has blocked the valley from anyone." the pro guard frowned.

Today, the production of firearm supervisors has been on the right track. They only need to produce step by step and follow the process. Merton only needs to check one process every day, and immediately pulls a truck of gunpowder to start experimenting with gunpowder weapons.

"Boom!"

Another loud noise came, and the whole valley shook three times.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Merton and Taoist priest Changsheng came out of the valley one by one with black and gray faces.

"Mohou, these gunpowder are burning too fast. I can't react at all!" Taoist Changsheng said with lingering fear. This time he didn't run fast. I guess he almost couldn't come back.

Merton nodded, suddenly patted his thigh and suddenly said, "yes! How can gunpowder have no lead."

"Lead, what's the matter? Lead!" Taoist Changsheng wondered.

Merton explained: "the lead is the thing used to ignite the gunpowder. We can mix the gunpowder with some impurities to slow down the ignition speed, and then make the slower burning gunpowder into ropes and connect it with the gunpowder. In this way, we will have enough time to leave after igniting the gunpowder."

Changsheng Taoist priest immediately brightened his eyes and said excitedly, "Mo Hou Yingming!"

They left happily, and the whole sixteen guards were clean.

However, they were quiet for two days. On the third day, they had come back happily. The whole valley suddenly began to rumble and make a loud noise.

"Kill!" the officers and men of the right guard shouted in unison.

"Boom!" a loud noise came from the valley.

"Stab!" the right guard shouted again.

"Boom!" again in the valley.

One man against ten thousand people, but he didn't lose the slightest.

The officers and men of the right guard finally finished the drill and were about to withdraw. They only heard a shrill pig cry from the valley.

After a while, a domestic pig was howling and limping from the direction of the valley. Behind it, mojiazi was chasing after him with several hundred horses.

Li Jing could not help but draw from the corner of his mouth and was about to signal the soldiers to fight. However, he saw the leading hundred riding soldiers put up their long bow and suddenly shot an arrow right in the pig's eye and through his brain.

"Good skill!" cheers came from the right back.

Li Jing's glasses lit up immediately. With this skill alone, the whole right back was already numbered.

"Xue Rengui has seen a general!" it is Xue Rengui who can have such archery.

"Xue Rengui!" Li Jing nodded admiringly. "With this skill, you will be able to become famous in the army in the future."

Xue Rengui naturally knew that this person was Li Jing, the military God of the Tang Dynasty. He quickly bowed his hands and thanked him: "thank you, general."

At the moment, Merton just ran over panting, hurriedly arched his hands to Li Jing, and immediately checked the pig's scars.

Merton took out a piece of broken iron from the pig's stomach and shook his head: "it's because there's less gunpowder and there's a problem with iron!"

After Merton recorded it in detail, he arched his hand at Li Jing Gong and said, "I've offended you these days. Today, this fat pig and three sheep in the valley are regarded as compensation for the firearm supervisor."

"Good! Mohou is generous!"

The whole right guard cheered. Although the 16th guard is the elite of the imperial court and has enough food at ordinary times, meat is still rare. Although one pig and three sheep are not enough for the right guard, it is also valuable to see meat.

However, this is only the beginning. In the next few days, the food of the right back improved greatly.

Almost every day, there are meat from the firearm supervisor, some fat pigs with their intestines exposed, some whole sheep without scars but bleeding from their orifices, and even a lot of rotten meat broken into pieces.

On another occasion, ten cattle with only half of their bodies were sent. Although the wounds of these meat had a strange smell, it was difficult to defeat the group soldiers. After cutting off these appearance meat, the others had no impact.

However, while enjoying the rare meat, the right back soldiers gradually changed their eyes towards the valley.

That sound like thunder can take away the lives of pigs, sheep and cattle. What if it is used on people? "

Li Jing looked at the valley with a new sword from the Mohist village in his hand. He sighed in his heart: "he thought he was the peerless magic weapon in his hand, but he didn't expect that the real peerless magic weapon might be right in front of him."
