Looking at the city wall that was taller than Fengan City, this was the first time Yue Qianming came to the imperial capital of the Xia Geng Kingdom. Qingling City, which had only appeared in previous intelligence, was now in front of Yue Qianming. At this time, the Xia Geng Kingdom sent The person who greeted Yue Qianming and others was Cui Yan, who had accompanied Li Yuanji on a mission to the Jinhai Kingdom. The news of the attack on the mission had been reported back to Qingling City, causing quite a shock. The Xia Geng Kingdom had already begun Start investigating the matter.
Yue Qianming sat on Lidian Niu and looked down at Cui Yan, who was looking up at him. The man's eyes were calm, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he showed no signs of being angry because of Yue Qianming's rude behavior. However, Yue Qianming had an angry look on his face at this time. , looked at the officials of the Xia Geng clan coldly, the atmosphere in the room was slightly tense.
Yue Qianming waved his hand, and then members of the Que Feng team carried out more than a hundred bodies and displayed them one by one in front of Cui Yan. Yue Qianming asked with a cold voice: "I wonder, Cui Shilang knows these people."
"Qian Mingshen took this joke a bit too far. How could Cui know these people?"
Yue Qianming lifted the visor of the leader killed by Zhao Meng and asked with a smile: "Does Minister Cui know this person?"
Cui Yan's pupils shrank rapidly for a few times, and then he regained his composure and said unhurriedly: "Cui really doesn't know, please ask Qian Mingshen to tell me something."
Yue Qianming suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand, scratched the clothes of the corpse on the ground, pointed at the white wolf head tattoo on the chest of the corpse, and asked with cold eyes: "If I remember correctly, you Xia Geng are the only ones with this kind of tattoo." It only exists on the cavalry guards of Clan's Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, right?"
The members of the team also took off the clothes of the other corpses, and the wolf heads on the chests of the ordinary soldiers were all black. Yue Qianming looked at Cui Yan, waiting for him to continue to quibble. Sure enough, Cui Yan said: " General Qianming, although this style of tattoo is indeed unique to me, the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry, it does not mean that these people are the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry. Maybe someone is pretending to be one?"
"With the reputation of the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry in Xia Geng's country, who would dare to risk it? Mr. Cui, are you planning to fight to the death?"
"General Qianming, our country is already investigating, but there is no result yet." Cui Yan's eyes suddenly turned colder, and he continued: "Since General Qianming has brought the body, it can be saved. Our colleagues from the Criminal Department will make another trip."
"Oh? What does Cui Shilang mean?"
"I want General Qianming to hand over these corpses to us. After the identity is verified, I will naturally give you an explanation."
Yue Qianming turned around and looked at Chun Yuhou and others behind him. These civil servants all looked hurt and pretended to be angry, staring at the officials sent by Xia Geng's country.
"Are you planning to destroy the body and eliminate all traces?"
"General Qianming, please be careful what you say. We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
"A satisfactory explanation? Everyone in my mission is injured. If you attend King Yuanyou's wedding ceremony like this, I think your Xia Geng clan's face will be disgraced!"
"Then I don't know what God General Ganming wants to do?"
"We will keep the body for you first. If your Ministry of Justice wants to inspect the body, just come to my mission. As for what I want? It depends on the sincerity of your Xia Geng clan. You can do the rest. You can discuss it with Deputy Envoy Chunyu."
"I can only give you an answer after I go back and ask your Majesty for instructions on this matter."
"Yes, as long as you are not in a hurry, we have plenty of time to wait. I think Cui Shilang should also be aware of the attack on the mission this time. It can be big or small. As for the big or small, it is in the hands of your Xia Geng Kingdom. .”
"...Please first ask General Qian Ming and others to rest in our embassy of the Ministry of Etiquette. I believe a decision will be made soon."
"Then lead the way! A certain family is indeed a little tired. The road in your Xia Geng Kingdom is really difficult!"
"Come here, take Gan Mingshen General and others to the embassy to rest."
…
Jiang Chen knew that after next spring, the Young Eagle Guards would have to fight with real swords and guns, so he officially put the research and development of the Young Eagle Guards' long-range attack weapons on the agenda. He mobilized all the Young Eagle Guards members to participate and brainstorm.
He himself and the two team members who researched and made suggestions on armaments have been spending time in the Arms and Arms Office of the Military Department these days, asking for advice from the craftsmen of the Arms and Arms Office. One of these two people is Zhang Qianling, and the other is named Bian. A young man from Hong, one of the elders in this young man's family worked in the Imperial Arms Department, and he has been familiar with the production of military weapons since he was a child.
When Jiang Chen proposed to improve the range of bows and arrows, he immediately made a suggestion to Jiang Chen. According to Bian Hong's suggestion, a simple blast formation was carved on the arrows and stimulated with spiritual energy, so that the range of the bows and arrows could be improved. After testing, it was found that although the range was indeed improved, its accuracy was greatly reduced. The shot arrow was blown far away from the target by the light wind driven by the gust of wind carved on the arrow shaft.
Although this experiment ended in failure, Jiang Chen and Bian Hong did not give up and began to research along this line of thinking. Zhang Qianling was very interested in simple formations based on ordinary armaments, and he himself I also learned some simple formation carving techniques and helped Jiang Chen and the two of them carve some simple formations on arrows.
On this day, when Jiang Chen was asking Lao Zhu, the master craftsman of Wubeiya, about the quality of bow and arrow materials, he suddenly heard a cheering sound coming from the armament weapons testing base next to him. The sound sounded like Bian Hong and Zhang Qianling. Jiang Chen heard The cheers guessed that they had made a major breakthrough, so they bid farewell to Lao Zhu and quickly ran out of the camp to find Zhang Qianling and the two of them. Lao Zhu did not think that these teenagers could tinker with anything new, so he did not follow Jiang. I went out to check in the morning and continued busy with my work.
When he arrived at the experimental base, he first saw Zhang Qianling and Bian Hong standing in a daze around an arrow nailed to a crystal stone on the ground. Jiang Chen didn't know what the stupidity of these two people was, or the arrow stuck in the ground. There was something strange about him, so he immediately walked towards these two people, but the two people didn't hear Jiang Chen's approaching footsteps at all, and were focusing on the arrow on the ground.
Jiang Chen didn't understand what was special about this arrow. Although it penetrated the hardest crystal stone, there was nothing strange about it. All specially forged bows and arrows in the armament could achieve this effect.
In the past few days, they have tried many formations that can help arrows move. Some are too powerful. After being injected with spiritual energy and shot out, they directly turn into ashes. And some have no effect at all. This is what Jiang Chen wants to do. Master craftsman Lao Zhu asked for some reasons for the pros and cons of making arrows.
Looking at the arrow embedded in the crystal stone, Jiang Chen was about to pick it up to see what was special about it, when he heard Zhang Qianling urgently say: "Don't move."
"What are you two doing?"
"Ah! It's the captain. When did you come?"
"What are you two looking at this arrow?"
"Captain Lieutenant, we succeeded, we really succeeded. Now let Bian Hong give you a demonstration."
"Team leader, you better do it! I have just tested it, and your cultivation level is better than mine. There is no chance that we can break the range record just now."
"Okay, I'll come. Captain, please keep an eye on me."
I saw Zhang Qianling picking up a giant bow. The giant bow was forged from black iron. Some simple formation patterns were engraved on the back of the bow. This kind of giant bow was specially prepared for spiritual cultivation in the army. Its range
It is already more than the average crossbow commonly used in the military, but its range is still far from enough for the Young Eagle Guard flying thousands of meters in the air.
Zhang Qianling then pulled out the arrow stuck in it, placed it on the giant bow, injected spiritual energy into the arrow, and shot it towards the sky. Listen carefully to the sound of electricity that made a faint sound of mosquitoes above the arrow, and turned into
Afterimages fly towards the sky
Go. Jiang Chen tried his best to look at the arrow shooting into the sky. He silently calculated in his heart the distance that the arrow had shot at this time. It turned out to be 10,000 meters. This distance had already reached Jiang Chen's requirements.
range.
The arrow that was shot lost its power and fell from the air again. Jiang Chen and the other three quickly avoided an area, and the arrow was inserted into the crystal stone of the test base. Jiang Chen was surprised and was about to draw the arrow.
Looking at what happened, the arrow stuck on the ground turned into flying ashes as soon as it touched the arrow feathers. Jiang Chen looked at the puddle of ashes on the ground and wanted to cry without tears, as if he had done something wrong.
Zhang Qianling and Bian Hong, who were far away, hurried over and looked at each other at the fly ash on the ground. They were fine just now, so why did something go wrong now? They couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen, thinking that he had just exerted too much force.
Jiang Chen looked at the two people with question marks on their faces, waved his hands quickly, and then asked: "Qianling, what is the material of this arrow?"
"Ironwood!"
"Then it seems it's a matter of material. By the way, what formation did you just carve on this arrow?"
"Thunder Array. It is just a Thunder Array that has been re-modified by the team leader. It reduces the ability to gather the power of thunder and lightning, so that it can absorb the lightning particles between the sky and the earth independently during the process of traveling. After the human power is exhausted,
Provide power for use.”
"Isn't it possible to fly all the time?"
"How is it possible? After the spiritual energy attached to the arrow is exhausted, it will naturally no longer be absorbed. Therefore, the distance of the arrow depends entirely on personal cultivation. However, with the cultivation of our Young Eagle Guards, we can
Achieved the range required by the captain."
"Then if you can carve a simple spirit gathering formation on it, you can fly all the time?" Jiang Chen asked unwillingly, and then he saw Zhang Qianling deliberately looking at him with contempt and saying: "Captain, you are really awesome.
He is so whimsical that he really looks up to me. It is a combined formation, and even among the divine formation masters, there are only a few who can do it and guarantee 100% success."
"Qian Ling, what's that look in your kid's face, are you looking for a fight? This time, I'll count on you! Let's talk about the material issue now. Since this iron wood can withstand it once, let's try the secret material used a few days ago.
Those arrows made of silver and black iron."
Zhang Qianling immediately took an arrow each made of dark iron and mithril, and began to carve formation patterns on it. Three quarters of an hour later, Zhang Qianling finished carving the formation patterns, and then he and Bian Jiang each took arrows and began to experiment.
.
The black iron arrow in Bian Hong's hand was a bit heavy, but after reciprocating it more than a dozen times, although the speed remained the same, its range was shortened by nearly three thousand meters. The arrow made of mithril was different from the one just used.
When Ironwood tested it, the effect was the same. After Jiang Chen read the results, he pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, it has achieved the effect I expected. You two name this arrow! This will become our young Eagle Guard's
Always have weapons."
"It's called the 'Thunder Arrow'. After all, it was improved from the Thunder Formation."
"Thunder Arrows are quite impressive. In this way, we can use Dark Iron Arrows for daily training and mid-range attack equipment, and use Mythril Arrows as long-range attack equipment. What do you two think?"
"Captain, you really plan to equip us with mithril arrows. Isn't the cost a bit too high?"
"Compared to those spiritual soldiers that often cost hundreds or thousands of spiritual stones, this is already very cheap."
"It takes one hundred taels of mithril to cast an arrow. In addition to the captain, our young eagle guard has a hundred people. According to the regular battle, each of the archers must carry at least five hundred arrows. And the captain will carry the young eagle
The guards are defined as troops whose main method is long-range attack. In addition, according to the school captain's consistent combat strategy, they must travel long distances to fight. Every time they go into battle, each person needs at least two thousand arrows, even if they have black iron arrows with them.
Fifty-five points, this is not a small amount."
"We calculate based on the maximum base, each person can carry four thousand, which is the limit of the number of arrows that each Young Eagle Guard can carry. Based on the black iron arrows and mithril arrows, the military expenditure on each person is 20.
Ten thousand taels of mithril, for 100 people, the cost is 21 million taels of mithril, plus the losses, it will reach about 30 million."
"Yes! Such a large amount of funding. Captain, do you think the military department will agree to this application for military funding?"
