[Chapter 192] The Tartars are becoming more and more like cabbage on the roadside...

(0192)

【Today's fourth update is delivered!】

Before Xu Xingxia's archery suddenly became abnormal, the word Tartar was definitely a magical existence in Weizhen Fort. Due to the incompetence of the Ming army, every time the Tartars arrived, they would cause great losses to Ningxia Town. Every time the Ming army fought against the Tartars, the damage was quite bad. Often, they could not kill a Tartar if they paid more than a dozen or even dozens of lives. Often, they dared to burn, kill, loot everywhere, which made people helpless.

It is precisely because of the poor war loss ratio and the extremely low morale that in order to stimulate the fighting enthusiasm of each military household and enhance the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, the court issued a rule to kill a Tartar and directly reward 30 taels of silver. Unfortunately, even with such regulations, the fighting enthusiasm of the military households has not been effectively improved.

After a year, only a few Ming troops in Ningxia Town, including the guards and soldiers, were able to receive this reward for military merit. Over time, the military households would forget the existence of this regulation. Even if the rewards are visible, intangible, and unrecognizable, what is the use of no matter how generous it is? Killing a Tartar often requires more than a dozen lives, and in the end they can only get a reward of thirty taels of silver. It is not cost-effective.

However, since Xu Xingxia suddenly became perverted, the Tartars' head seemed to be worthless. At first, he shot more than a dozen Tartars around Niujiaodune alone, and later he shot more than thirty Tartars around Weizhen Fort. Even the little prince of the Tartars' Helejin tribe died in his hands. The big prince came to Xu Xingxia in a fierce manner, but was beaten by Xu Xingxia and almost lost his life.

When guarding Weizhen Fort, Xu Xingxia was even more exaggerated and reimbursed the Tartars at one time! All the military households in Weizhen Fort remembered that battle. This was a fact that they witnessed with their own eyes. The Tartars, who seemed arrogant and unshakable in the past, suddenly turned into cabbage on the roadside, and pulled them whatever they wanted. The myth of the Tartars' invincible has been completely broken.

This time, the results of the battle seemed even more exaggerated. Xu Xingxia actually killed thousands of Tartars in one breath! And it was the Tartars led by the arrow god Mo Rigen! If Xu Xingxia did not have a brilliant precedent, I am afraid everyone would think that he was talking crazy. But at this time, no one doubted Xu Xingxia's words.

Most people have never been to the place of Kalong Mountain, but this does not prevent everyone from knowing that it is an extremely dangerous place. The favorable terrain, Xu Xingxia's archery, powerful muskets, and powerful explosive packs, it is not difficult to make Mo Rigen suffer a big loss. The Arrow God is also a human being and will also encounter failures.

Zhang Feng had a rare opportunity to interrupt and said hard: "Yes, there are only one thousand people, and there are definitely only more or less. The Tatars originally wanted to sneak in from Suweikou, but the action was destroyed by us. Tuoba Su was preparing to attack the Fenghuodun in Kalong Mountain and prevent the Fenghuodun from sending out an alarm. Now, Tuoba Su has also been killed by us."

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and nodded with relief. The atmosphere that was originally suppressed by Mo Rigen and the Five Thousand Tartars gradually became active. Since Xu Xingxia could easily kill a thousand Tartars, he would probably be able to kill a lot of Tartars when the Tartars came again. So what if Mo Rigen is known as the Arrow God? Xu Xingxia's archery skills are not bad!

In order to boost everyone's morale, Xu Xingxia clapped his hands and asked someone to send Tuoba Su's head up and check it out for everyone's general flags. No one present had ever witnessed Tuoba Su's true face. However, it didn't matter. They all believed that as long as Xu Xingxia and Tuoba Su encountered each other, it was no problem to kill Tuoba Su. They were in a state of excitement and couldn't help but surround Tuoba Su's head and pointed at it.

In Ningxia Town, Tuoba Su's head level is definitely valuable. In the past, the Qing Palace once offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to buy Tuoba Su's head, but it was not successful. Later, the Qing Palace raised the reward price to 20,000 taels of silver, but it still failed. Now, Xu Xingxia took back Tuoba Su's head level. As long as he gave it to the Qing Palace, the heavy silver with 20,000 taels of silver would definitely not be able to escape.

What a big number that would be twenty thousand taels of silver! The six general flags of the board of directors gathered together and couldn't even imagine it. There was no way. They had never seen more than two thousand taels of silver in their lives, let alone twenty thousand taels of silver. They only had one feeling, that is, Xu Xingxia became rich, and they also became rich.

They all knew that the silver in Xu Xingxia was not used to put it in, but was used for spending. When he became rich, it was equivalent to all the military households in Weizhen Fort making money. A large amount of silver was smashed, and almost every military household in Weizhen Fort had endless work. Forging a hundred steelmaking, repairing city walls, burning bricks, logging wood, livestock, and planting all required a lot of labor. With work, the economic situation of every household naturally improved.

Xu Xingxia waved his hand and asked Chi Hu to take Tuoba Su's head first, then waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and said with a stern face: "This is basically the case. Although the number of Tartars is only about 4,000 people, the pressure on our Weizhen Fort is still quite high. Everyone here cannot take it lightly. They must do their best to do all their work. If the Tartars come to attack Weizhen Fort, we must make sure that the Tartars can't afford to take it."

He had a real situation that he didn't say, that was Mo Rigen was aiming at him. All situations showed that Mo Rigen was very revenge. After he suffered such a big loss in Kalong Mountain, Mo Rigen would never give up. He would definitely find an opportunity to take revenge. Although the white-clothed army used the canyon to block Mo Rigen's marching speed, and finally successfully broke off contact with Mo Rigen. However, with the help of the horseshoe print, Mo Rigen could finally chase Weizhen Fort directly.

It is conceivable that once Mo Rigen and his subordinates follow the city of Weizhen Fort, what will happen. The Tartars around Mo Rigen are not as easy as the Tartars of the Hellejin tribe. Especially the magical arrow teams around Mo Rigen, it seems that they are not easy to deal with. If Weizhen Fort does not have the Sun and Moon Guns in charge, they will really not be able to deal with them.

After pondering for a while, Xu Xingxia said steadily: "Now, everyone will report the situation."

Chen Denglong was the first to report. He and Lin Hainiu were responsible for building the city walls. Now, the walls of Weizhen Fort have been almost built. The originally damaged southeast corner has been repaired with the joint efforts of all military households. The shortest wall of Weizhen Fort is also three meters high. Such a height is enough to block the attack of the Tatar cavalry.

Of course, if the Tartars used cloud ladders to attack the city, the situation would still be not optimistic. A height of three meters, ordinary cloud ladders could easily climb up. However, it would be unrealistic to continue to increase the city wall. The foundation of Weizhen Fort was originally not good, and if it continued to increase the city height, there would be big problems. At that time, the city wall would be crushed, which would be even worse.

"Three feet are enough." Xu Xingxia made the final decision.

If there were no Sun and Moon guns, the height of three zhang would be a bit insufficient. The Tartars climbed up too fast and there were so many archers, so I was afraid that the explosive pack would not be able to stop it. If the explosive pack exploded on the city wall, the consequences would be even more unimaginable. However, the White-clothed Army now has Sun and Moon guns in hand, with a range of more than 200 meters, with great power and high accuracy, which is definitely a huge threat to the Tartars.

Xu Xingxia believed that under the threat of the Sun and Moon Gun, the Tartars' archers may not dare to be too close. These archers around Mo Rigen are also treasures and cannot be wasted easily. Xu Xingxia did not believe that Mo Rigen was willing to send them to the range of the musket. Such cannon fodder is really too advanced.

Liu Guangliang then reported on the production of the craftsman workshop. With the support of Xu Xingxia, the craftsman workshop started construction day and night every day, continuously manufacturing sun and moon guns to ensure that there is at least five per day. In order to increase the number of 100 steel making, there are more than 50 craftsmen in the craftsman workshop just forging 100 steel making day and night.

Unfortunately, the manufacturing of Sun and Moon Guns is definitely not a game. At the most dangerous times, you can use a modifier to adjust the data. Even if there are more than 50 craftsmen who forged 100 steel and made 100 steel, the output of 100 steel is only to meet the needs of five Sun and Moon Guns every day. During the days when Xu Xingxia left, there were less than 50 Sun and Moon Guns produced by the craftsman workshop.

However, the production of black gunpowder is very large. The preparation of black gunpowder is almost public, and the preparation of various raw materials is not difficult. With the efforts of Liu Guangliang and others, the current craftsman workshop has stored 130,000 kilograms of black gunpowder, and it is also increasing at a rate of 3,000 kilograms of it every day. As for the number of Minnie bombs, it is even more sufficient.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Xu Xingxia nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

He also knew that the output of the Sun and Moon Gun was a bottleneck. The biggest difficulty here was not the production of the barrel, but the 100-yuan steelmaking. Manual forging of the Sun and Moon Gun had low efficiency and high cost, which was indeed not a long-term solution. To comprehensively increase the output of the Sun and Moon Gun, a brand new steelmaking plant was built, and the project volume was large. He did not have that plan yet.

In fact, Helan Mountain is really a good place. There is the best coal in the world at that time, that is, Taixi coal in later generations. There is enough wood, enough chert, enough quartzite, enough iron ore, enough sulfur ore, and enough saltpeter ore. It can be said that as long as Helan Mountain is controlled, this is a natural production base, and countless military factories can be built nearby. In the 17th century, the various resources provided by Helan Mountain alone were enough to lead the white-clothed army to sweep the world.

"The person in charge of the committee will go back first, and the person in the white army will stay." Xu Xingxia said again.
