Text Chapter 391: A Letter From Home (Sixth)
"Cone Shield."
Lin Muyu was slightly taken aback: "What kind of cone shield is it?"
Xu Jiantao clasped his fists and said, "The cone shield is actually a cone shield. The outside of the shield is cast into a cone shape, which can greatly relieve the thrusting attack from the front and make the armored demon's attack useless. The cone shield weighs at least two hundred catties. , plus the weight of horses, cavalry, and armor, the impact force of a thousand catties will never be inferior to the divine power of the armored demon. With a cone shield to block, it is enough to protect ourselves. If we have a spear that can pierce the armored demon, we Then they can deal with armored demons on flat ground, and even check and balance them."
Lin Muyu was overjoyed: "General Xu, this... is really feasible."
"Yes, Commander."
Xu Jiantao smiled slightly, and said: "When my subordinates worked in the sub-chapel of the temple in Yunzhong Province, they used to cast conical shields to counteract the wild boars that slipped out of the dragon-hunting forest. The impact of the spear is very similar. If it is against the armored demon, the cone shield can also be effective, but the premise is that the user of the cone shield must be extremely powerful, and it cannot be lifted at all. Therefore, the subordinates believe that it must be a cultivator with a good cultivation base. Finish this tactic."
"very good."
Lin Muyu secretly asked joyfully: "Wei Qiu, how many practitioners in our Longdan camp have reached the stage?"
Wei Chou said: "Commander, most of the members of the Long Dan Battalion come from temples all over the empire, so our individual combat power is known as the number one in the empire... According to rough statistics, we have a total of fighters with land cultivation More than 300 people."
"Very good."
Lin Muyu pondered, and said: "Go ahead and gather all 300 people together to form a battalion. Let's call it the 'Cone Shield Lancer Battalion'. Xu Jiantao will be promoted to be the commander of the Cone Shield Lancer Battalion, responsible for training the Cone Shield Lancers. In addition, choose 300 spears and spears from our weapons and send them to me. I will temper the white diamond blades for these spears so that they can easily pierce the armored demon. shell."
"Yes, Lord Commander."
"In addition, contact the city lord of Cuckoo City, and all iron shops in Cuckoo City will stop working. They will work for our Longdan camp, concentrate all iron ore resources, and cast cone shields as quickly as possible. Please allow us for the specific shape of the cone shield. Dominion is drawn immediately."
"Yes." Xu Jiantao was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "This subordinate will never let the commander down."
"Let's all go to work."
"yes."
...
After the explanation was completed, the tents of the Chinese army were emptied. Lin Muyu closed his eyes and took a short rest. He had been in Earth Star Province for many days. The battle situation was relatively good, and the Long Dan Battalion was not too serious. The loss of so many armored demons has killed so many armored demons, which is considered a big victory for the empire, but it is far from enough. You must know that there are nearly 200,000 armored demons in Lingnan under Lei Chong's control. .
Thinking of Lei Chong, Lin Muyu's ferocious face immediately appeared in Lin Muyu's mind, as well as the scene when Lei Chong chopped off the head of Du Hai, the number one warrior in the empire. Lei Chong is a strong enemy and must be killed, but it is too difficult It's difficult, with Lin Muyu's current cultivation level, if he meets Lei Chong, his odds of winning probably won't exceed 30%.
Not long after, Wei Chou brought someone to bring weapons over. The equipment of the Gendan Battalion is the most sophisticated in the imperial army, but these weapons are still not very good. Among the 300 long spears and spears, there are only 3 spiritual items , the rest are just excellent, and some can only be regarded as relatively sharp, but you can't be too picky, after all, resources are limited, and things like millennium black iron are originally luxury goods for nobles, and they can really reflect their value in war. But very few.
There are still a few white diamonds in the Qiankun bag, and some white diamond ornaments donated by the city lord can also be tempered, which is barely enough to temper the white diamond edges of 300 weapons.
After sending people to guard the camp and prohibiting anyone from disturbing them, Lin Muyu immediately sacrificed the refining treasure tripod and began to sharpen the blades for these weapons one by one. Fortunately, these weapons are ordinary products, and the process is very simple. After the white diamond is finished, it can be directly plated on it. The power is naturally far inferior to the Dragon Spirit Sword and the Pear Blossom Spear, but the hard armor used to pierce the armored demon is more than enough. After all, the Dragon Spirit Sword and the Pear Blossom Spear are used to deal with High-level demons, not purely for killing armored demons.
In fact, in the eyes of a strong man like Lin Muyu, armored demons are just like that, and they are not scary. As long as there are no more than 200 armored demons besieging, Lin Muyu's cultivation will be able to retreat completely. After all, he has two great weapons. Soul, and the unique knowledge of Qiyao Xuanli and Xingchen Jue, although he is also the first heavenly cultivation base in the sanctuary, Lin Muyu's strength at this time is obviously far above that of Du Hai back then, even stronger than Du Hai. Rejon has won a lot, it is obvious.
...
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and batches of cone shields were sent from the city lord's mansion. They were cast strictly according to Xu Jiantao's diagram. Naturally, a strong man with a high level of cultivation would not be too easy, so he accepted Xu Jiantao's suggestion and set aside 7 days for the Cone Shield Spear Battalion to train. Xeon weapon.
A few days later in the afternoon, an orderly rushed into the tent of the Chinese army, holding a letter respectfully in his hand, and said: "My lord, a letter from His Royal Highness the Empress."
"Oh, bring it here." Lin Muyu was overjoyed.
"yes."
On the side, Wei Chou asked: "Is it the imperial edict from the empress?"
The messenger shook his head and said, "No, it's a personal letter from His Highness to the Commander, just a letter from home."
"Oh..." An ambiguous look flashed across Wei Chou's face, and he said with a smile, "It's true, it's been more than ten days since the commander came to the planet, probably... Your Highness misses your lord."
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Muyu stared, he knew very well in his heart that even if Qin Yin loves him again, but he is the commander of the Great Qin Empire, and Qin Yin is the empress, if he doesn't care about Qin Yin's reputation and status, it will be too much Being selfish, no matter when and where, I must protect the face of Qin Yin, the empress.
Open the envelope and take out the letter paper. There are familiar handwriting on it. Qin Yin learned calligraphy from Qin Jin, and now she has become her own style. The handwriting is delicate and powerful, and every word seems to hit the bottom of Lin Muyu's heart.
"Brother Ah Yu has been away for many days, and there is no letter. Xiaoyin is very worried and misses. I don't know if Brother Ah Yu is okay. The demons are entrenched in the Qinling Mountains, and the rebels of the Yihe Kingdom are being slaughtered. Brother Ah Yu Yulong Dan Ying was fighting at the border, and Xiao Yin misses her day by day, wishing to fly to Brother Ah Yu, always by his side, but there are thousands of memorials every day, and there is no way to do it all at once. , merchants and merchants, it is very annoying, although brother Ah Yu's place is bloody, but Xiao Yin wants to stay with you, miss always occupies the bottom of Xiao Yin's heart, looking forward to your return."
A letter filled Lin Muyu's heart with warmth, as if he could hear Qin Yin whispering in his ear, with the remembrance of a beautiful woman far away, it seemed that no matter how much blood and sweat shed before the battle, it was worth it.
On the side, Qin Yan rubbed his nose and smiled: "Brother, what did His Highness say, did he give us some tasks?"
"No."
Lin Muyu folded up the letter and said, "It's just talking about homework."
Feng Xi laughed and said, "Could it be that His Highness only remembers to tell the leader about his lovesickness, but forgot to pass down any tasks."
"Don't gossip." Lin Muyu smiled slightly and asked, "How is the training of the Cone Shield Lancer Battalion going?"
Xu Jiantao clasped his fists together: "My lord is making rapid progress, please rest assured, we can face the demons anytime, with these 300 Cone Shield Lancers, even on the frontal battlefield, we will never suffer as before."
"good."
Lin Muyu stood up and said, "Send an order to prepare ballistas, ballistas and other siege equipment, and let the Cone Shield Lancer Battalion train well. In three days, we will attack Mosong Pass."
"yes."
...
In the south of Lingnan, a majestic steel parapet stretches from east to west, protecting the land of Yihe Kingdom in Lingnan at the rear. White clouds drift by, and the steel parapet becomes increasingly quiet. In Xunbai Province, behind a section of steel parapet, arches There is a prosperous city, which is the sunset city, one of the seven famous cities in the empire, and the fiefdom of sunset Hou Manning.
Sunset City has a large population and a strong army, and the territory under its jurisdiction is also very vast and rich.
In the city, a group of men and horses left slowly, and thousands of cavalry protected a carriage and slowly headed towards the steel parapet. Inside the steel parapet, there was smoke from cooking, and the camps of the Yihe Kingdom were connected together, cooking.
"Lord Xiyanghou is here."
With a loud shout, a group of men and horses came galloping from the camp. At the front of the crowd was a senior general in black armor with four gold stars on his neckline. He was Ding Xi, one of the Seven Marshals of the Yihe Kingdom.
With a respectful expression, Ding Xi came to the front of the carriage, cupped his fists and said, "Ding Xi pays homage to the Lord."
The curtain was slowly opened, and inside was an old face. Xiyang Bo was full of peace. After raising troops to create the Lanyan City Rebellion, he was granted the title of Marquis of Xiyang. The old face was bloated and full of red light, and he was still hugging Looking at a beautiful concubine, he smiled slightly and said, "Marshal Ding Xi, you don't have to be so polite, how is the situation of the steel parapet?"
"Everything is fine, Junhou is here for this time."
"I want to go up to the steel parapet and have a look."
"Yes, the general will make arrangements."
"Thank you Marshal."
"You're welcome."
...
With the help of several attendants, Man Ning's bloated body slowly stepped onto the steel parapet along the stone steps. Standing on the majestic parapet and looking into the distance, he saw streaks of blue smoke flying up.
"Is that wolf smoke?" Man Ning asked.
Ding Xi shook his head slowly, and said, "Junhou, that's not wolf smoke, it's the firework of demons burning Red Earth City."
"Red Earth City..."
Man Ning's palm tremblingly fell on the concubine's snow-white arm, squinted his eyes and looked hard, and said, "Has Hongtu City fallen?"
"Yes, Junhou, after the demons defeated Long Qianlin's army and broke through the Qinling Mountains, according to the order of Da Dutong, all the land north of the wall fell into the hands of the demons."
"That's it." The fat on Man Ning's face slowly tangled together, showing an ugly smile: "It's okay, Hongtu City is barren, and the women born by the untouchables in Hongtu City are also so ugly. Now, Marshal Ding Xi, please guard the wall and protect Sunset City, this is the supreme order given to you by Dadu."
"Yes, this subordinate knows."
Ding Xi clasped his fists and said respectfully, but his face with his head lowered was full of helplessness and anger.
