Chapter 338 There is a lot of money in heaven and earth!
"Back to my lord, His Highness the Crown Prince is not dead, but has escaped from the city. However, according to the information that the villain received, a large number of people chased him out!"
"Moreover, they seem to have an ambush outside the city. Even if His Highness the Crown Prince escapes, there is no chance of him surviving."
A guard said in a deep voice.
“Where is Zhao Hu?
What does he do now?"
Sun Tzu Gong asked again.
"Captain Zhao led his men and captured three bronze mechanical repeating crossbows. They are still fighting the enemy at this time. Sir, should we inform the city defenders to encircle and suppress those bad guys?"
the guard asked.
"Bastard! Is your head filled with shit?
Do you think the defenders will still listen to us?
Besides, those people are not something we can deal with!"
"You go and pass on my order now, asking Zhao Hu to return the bronze mechanical repeating crossbow and return to the Yamen quickly. Today, no, you are not allowed to leave the Yamen gate for the past few days!"
Sun Tzu Gong said coldly.
"Yes, sir!"
The officer hurriedly went to deliver the order.
At this time, the soldiers on the city gate looked at the black and rushing army in the distance, with shock on their faces. The commander of the defenders gave the order to close the city gate.
When Lin Fan saw these people deliberately closing the city gate, he knew that they were guilty of thieves. He took the iron gun from the hand of a tiger and leopard knight on the side and suddenly threw it forward.
Whoosh!
Tie Ge flew forward and directly stabbed the soldiers who were closing the city gate to death. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not stop at all, broke through the city gate and entered the city.
Lin Fan started to carry out the encirclement and suppression according to the location where he was ambushed, and actually found more than 300 bronze crossbows. He really didn't know whether he was lucky or not.
"Your Highness, these bronze mechanical repeating crossbows are exquisitely made, can fire continuously, and are very powerful!"
Zhang Liang looked at the bronze mechanical crossbow and said solemnly.
"This is natural. The power of these bronze mechanical crossbows is unmatched by ordinary crossbow arrows, and is even more powerful than the Maosui gun."
"However, this thing is impractical and cannot be used in a rush battle. It is not as useful as artillery for defending a city, so it is useless. However, these are treasures in heaven and on earth!"
"After returning to Xi'an City, just melt everything."
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Liang glanced at the bronze mechanical crossbow a few more times. He did not expect that such sophisticated equipment would be so unbearable in the eyes of the prince that it could only be melted down.
However, any bronze mechanical crossbow weighs nearly a hundred pounds, which is indeed impractical.
"Your Highness, this area has been cleared and no enemies have been found!"
Tiger and leopard knights came to report.
Lin Fandao: "Separate four teams, each with a thousand people, to take over the city gate. All the defenders on the city wall have confiscated their weapons. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry took the order, and the four teams dispersed again.
At this time, Lin Fan's face was filled with murderous intent. The defenders in the city did not react at all when they saw that he was being attacked and killed, especially the people at the east city gate who actually wanted to kill him.
It is useless to keep such people around. He wants to clear the city and then kill all the defenders at Caishikou. However, the elite group of soldiers who escorted him into Shunqingfu City does not seem to be in the city.
This group of people clearly said that they were soldiers of Shunqing Fucheng, so why did they disappear after sending themselves into the city?
In the dense forest, Gong Shujing watched the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry take away the glider, bronze mechanical crossbow, and his heart was bleeding. These are all treasures!
"Have those people in the city escaped?"
Gongshu Jing asked.
"Master Hui Gongshu, that dog prince is extremely fast. After entering the city, he occupied all the city gates and closed the city gates, not allowing anyone to go out!"
"There are still some of our people left in the city, and those bronze mechanical crossbows may all fall into the hands of that dog prince!"
One person replied.
"Damn it! Those bronze mechanical crossbows are powerful, but they are a weapon for us to fight against the imperial court. I mobilized five hundred of them this time. If they are all damaged here, wouldn't it mean that the imperial court is in vain!"
Gongshu Jing gritted his teeth and said.
What he didn't know was that Lin Fan didn't take a fancy to his bronze mechanical Fury at all, and these five hundred would only have the fate of being melted down and cast into armor.
"Sir, if the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appears at this time, Shunqing Fucheng will definitely be wiped out. Everything we have arranged here will be erased. It will be very dangerous to stay here!"
The man said.
Gongshu Jing gritted his teeth and finally chose to leave.
After the city gate was guarded by tiger and leopard riders, Lin Fan began to order the remaining one thousand tiger and leopard riders to clear the streets. When the other five thousand tiger and leopard riders arrived, they began to search for the thieves from house to house.
Li Yuqing also didn't expect that His Highness the Prince would come back so quickly with tigers and leopards on horseback, and he would also go from house to house searching for those bad guys.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I am Li Yuqing!"
Li Yuqing found Lin Fan.
"kindness?
Are you all okay?"
Lin Fan saw Li Yuqing and asked directly.
"It's okay. After Your Highness the Crown Prince rushed out of the city gate, those people didn't make things difficult for us. I guess they didn't regard me as one of the Crown Prince's."
Li Yuqing said with a smile.
Zhang Liang asked in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness, who is this person?"
"This person is a friend I met outside. I can go out of the city thanks to his help."
Lin Fan said.
"I see. Since this person is from Shunqing Fucheng, he should have some knowledge about Shunqing Fucheng and can help us search for those bad guys."
Zhang Liangdao.
"Hehe! What this female general said is very true. I still have some knowledge about the bad guys in the city. His Royal Highness sent a team of cavalry to follow me. I will take you to arrest them!"
Li Yuqing said with a smile.
Lin Fan gave Li Yuqing a thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and asked him to take the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to arrest people. This matter lasted for a day and a night, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry finally cleared Shunqing Fucheng.
"Your Highness, after the city of Shunqing was cleared, more than 300 thieves were captured, and the rest committed suicide. There were 500 bronze crossbows and more than 7,000 crossbow arrows."
Reported by Zhang Liang.
When Lin Fan heard this number, he couldn't help but sigh, this world's financial resources are really amazing!
You know, five hundred bronze mechanical crossbows would cost at least 500,000 taels of silver to make, plus those crossbow arrows, even 600,000 taels would be enough.
In addition, they sent so many manpower and lost so many crossbows in the world. They had no regrets and quickly evacuated the manpower, which shows that they suffered a lot of losses.
It is conceivable that the financial resources in heaven and earth are more than 50 million taels of silver at least.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there were not many aristocratic families with so much financial resources. There were many martial arts sects, but there were not many ways to make money, and they could not support an organization as big as heaven and earth.
If we calculate it this way, heaven and earth must have been established through the joint efforts of various martial arts sects and aristocratic families.
