The news Fei Ze received came back from Luanshi Town.
One time Xie Peng gave guidance to Qian You and mentioned the importance of advanced hypnosis, claiming that this magic was of great help to Ding Kui. Since then, Qian You has been practicing hypnosis regularly.
Although hypnosis is low-level, it is too partial. It is very easy to learn the basic level, but it is not easy to practice to the advanced level. Fortunately, Gan You has practiced hard for several years and is about to break through to the advanced level.
His qualifications are not very high, but he is willing to persist and has perseverance. Once he makes a decision, he perseveres and will not give up until he achieves his goal.
After practicing hard all night, his hypnosis skills were finally upgraded, and Pheasant was immediately brought to trial. How could Pheasant with strong willpower be able to compete with the magician who opened the tower?
After asking who was behind the scenes, Ding Zhong immediately sent the encrypted news to Jie City, and the Jie City Magic Guild sent it back to Nanqiu County City.
This process did not even occur to Ding Kui, who sent Qian You here, and that the dial dialing would come into play at this time, intentionally or unintentionally.
During the period of Qianyou's penance, about 500 armed men attacked the camp of the convoy. These people were strong and strong, and their average strength was much higher than that of the bandits on the mountain. Their origins were definitely not simple.
But they hit a wall. The city defense troops escorting the convoy this time had new weapons, repeating crossbows!
Ding's new product - repeating crossbow, fires ten arrows in a row, has a loading capacity of twenty arrows, has a killing range of 300 meters, and its maximum attack power can break ordinary iron armor.
This kind of crossbow has low attack power but high rate of fire, which is equivalent to the best in the world of Shenyuan. It is powerful in close combat!
It was developed by Qian Bu borrowing Zhuge Liannu's idea. Of course, Zhuge Liannu was told to him by Ding Kui.
Hengfu Arsenal had just produced two thousand repeating crossbows, and Ding Kui specially approved one thousand for use in the Yanling County operation.
The gangsters who attacked the convoy were unlucky. Without heavy armor, they were no different from chickens. The convoy guards fired a round, and all the gangsters at the front turned into "hedgehogs."
The excited Lei Feixiang grabbed a repeating crossbow and took the lead in rushing out of the defensive position, kicking off the convoy escort's counterattack.
"It's very useful. This thing is very useful for melee assaults!" Lei Feixiang said of the repeating crossbow after the war.
"If it is a large-scale field battle, the attack power of the repeating crossbow is insufficient and the killing distance is too short. The heavy armored infantry can charge while it is re-winding, and infantry is needed to assist in defense." Fan Yuzhen considered it from the perspective of a regular army.
"What a sharp weapon for the city defense army!" Shao Dianfei couldn't put it down. "The repeating crossbowmen can be divided into two groups, one group for bowing and the other for shooting. One squadron can withstand a group of archers, and the city defense strength is increased tenfold!"
Ding Zhong and Xia Houchu looked at each other, and then Ding Zhong said: "This object can be used for sneak attacks and assassinations. Sudden shooting at close range is inevitable. If the arrow is smeared with poison, targets below level five combat power will definitely die."
"There are still areas that cannot be shot above two hundred meters." Ruan Xingzhu said in one sentence.
Everyone has a high opinion of repeating crossbows.
Ding Zhong asked Xiahou Chu very seriously: "Who else knows about our actions?"
"There are only two other people in the Yanling County branch who know that Beizhong is coming to Mangshi Mountain, and there is Zhang Xiulan. Zhang Xiulan doesn't know when Beizhong will arrive, so she can rule it out. The other two only know the time before Beizhong's departure and that Beizhong is coming with Zhang Xiulan I don't know anything else about it.
The humble officer thought that this attack was for a convoy. The enemy did not want us to assist Shiwa City. He might have guessed or received news that Boundary City would send an aid convoy, so he organized these people to attack. It is unlikely that he knew The actions of Mangshi Mountain." Xiahou Chu believed in his men.
The two intelligence professionals were very sensitive to the attack, not to mention that it happened under their noses, which was an insult to the intelligence personnel.
"Ding Zhong, Xia Houchu, Ding Cai, Uncle, Lei Feixiang, and Cui Tianwu, you will separately interrogate the prisoners and find out where they came from." Ruan Xingzhu made a wise decision.
Of the five hundred gangsters who made a sneak attack, more than a hundred escaped, more than two hundred died, and more than a hundred prisoners were captured. This time, with the help of the convoy escort, there was no problem in guarding the prisoners.
After daybreak, several people gathered together again. "The leader ran away. I asked those who were bandits hiding in the town. Someone offered them a high price to recruit them." Ding Zhong's face turned extremely ugly.
Xia Houchu continued: "The situation here is similar. Those people claim to be rangers who walk in Yanling County. They live on bounties. As long as you are willing to pay them, they will do anything."
"I have a few city defense troops from Shi'ao City and Yanling County City here, as well as a few warrior training camps from each city. They are said to be hired by a man named Tianbing Laoba." Ruan Jizong asked something.
Ding Cai and Cui Tianwu said together: "I am similar to you, that Heavenly Soldier is the organizer of the sneak attack."
Everyone looked at Lei Feixiang at the same time. Lei Feixiang showed a strange expression and said, "Is it such a coincidence? Everyone I asked took poison and committed suicide."
Ding Cai complained: "Fat man, did you kill them when they were angry because you couldn't find them? You must have killed a few of them."
"Do you think I care as little about human life as you do? When I was in Tianmen Town, I only killed monsters. When I led the special forces training, I mostly killed wild beasts and monsters. I have fewer lives than you!" Lei Feixiang is really not a murderer.
people.
"Okay, we are not discussing this!" Ruan Xingzhu promptly stopped the two people who were about to reveal each other's secrets. "The key question is will our next actions be affected?"
"That's a good question, does that Heavenly Soldier know about our existence?" Ruan Jizong added.
"First of all, we need to determine who Tianbing Laoba is. He seemed to have predicted that a convoy would come to Luanshi Town and recruited people from all directions in advance. It is basically certain that he does not know about us." Ding Zhong immediately came to a conclusion from the limited information.
"Agree! In Yanling County, only the 13th Lieutenant of the People's Liberation Army is aware of the humble position. The enemy at most knows about the existence of the humble position, and it is impossible to know about you. However, they can guess in advance that there will be an aid convoy, so it is logical to recruit manpower in advance.
One thing that is certain about his humble position is that Tianbing Laoba is the subordinate of the magician and obeys Zidan's command. In other words, from the burning of the official warehouse to today's sneak attack on the convoy, the Zi family planned it behind the scenes. We have a clear goal."
Xiahou touched more conclusions.
"Many people saw them attacking the convoy. These prisoners will be escorted to Shi'ao City together. At least Brother Kui's suspicion can be cleared in the Shi'ao City area." Ruan Xingzhu's thoughts gradually became clear, "Where should we go next?"
This question is about Xiahou Chu, because Fei Ze is the chief dispatcher, and Xiahou Chu is Fei Ze's mouthpiece.
Xia Houchu took out a map, spread it out and said, "According to Mr. Fei's arrangement, the next stop is here." He pointed to a point on the map.
