Chapter 971: Soldiers Walking the Holy Path
The floating boat airship fleet arrived at Guantun County, transporting a total of thirty thousand shi of cargo. Most of them were grain.
Originally, the single-ship cargo capacity when the floating boat was designed was only five thousand shi. But Azure Void's tradition was exquisite craftsmanship and solid materials, so after loading and loading, they found that the flying boat could still be loaded after reaching the limited load. Unknowingly, it was loaded from twenty thousand shi to thirty thousand shi, and the flying boat structure could still hold up. Only the spray hands had to be more tired, so Zhang Sheng brought two more groups.
Now Guantun County had a population of more than forty thousand, and it extended a large piece toward the mountain people's area. Hundreds of thousands of people had to live, and the three million catties of grain transported were far from enough. Fortunately, the second batch of floating boats had been built and set off. The scale of this fleet was ten ships, escorted by Ji Liuli and Feng Chutang.
The route had been swept by Zhang Sheng first, successively severely injuring a mountain people Master Yu Jing, and giving a small punishment to the Duke of Long's mansion Master Yu Jing. Then along the way, six Dharma Form cultivators were beheaded, and four Dharma Form cultivators were captured. Zhang Sheng walked this trip, perhaps there were still some small fish and shrimp left on the way, but seeing the Azure Void banner, they should not dare to show their heads.
Zhang Sheng was injured in the battle with the mountain people Master Yu Jing, but it was not a big deal, and it would be enough to recuperate for a month.
The grain transported in this round was not much, but half of it was high-quality military grain compressed and packaged in iron barrels, and half was pickled salted meat and salted fish, which was much more filling than normal grain. These high-quality military grains were enough to support Guantun County until the next wave of flying boats arrived.
Meeting again, Little Wei Yuan felt that he had been separated from Zhang Sheng for a long, long time.
However, there were many affairs at the moment, but it was not the time for intimacy. Little Wei Yuan seized the time to explain all the affairs in the Ji Kingdom, and then handed over the place to Zhang Sheng. Then Little Wei Yuan took her to the south city of the county city.
The earth energy here was warmer, so Little Wei Yuan ordered people to flatten all the original civilian houses here, dig pits like graves, arrange them neatly, and then set up formations around them.
As soon as he entered the formation, there was a cold wind, like entering the cold winter, with no vitality. In each pit in the formation, there were at least seven or eight starving people lying, all of them dying and losing consciousness.
Little Wei Yuan had used this method when Azure Void was at its most difficult years ago, placing mortals who were temporarily useless into the deep pits of the formation, slowing down their vitality, and entering a semi-dormant state, so they only needed to eat once every seven or eight days.
In Zhang Sheng's memory, this scene seemed to have passed for a long time, and she didn't expect to see it again today.
Little Wei Yuan said: "Twenty thousand mortals are lying here. I plan to let them lie for another two months. In this way, whether it is the rebel army or the government army, they will get the news and will definitely think that I have no grain in my hands.
The stupid ones will come directly to attack, wanting to pick up a bargain. The not-so-stupid ones will continue to send people to us, wanting to eat us up by relying on refugees. No matter which one it is, we don't need to run ourselves, just pretend that we are about to fail."
Zhang Sheng said: "I heard on the way back that a Duke of Long has appeared in the Ji Kingdom recently, and it seems that there is a way to use troops."
Little Wei Yuan said: "He just defeated the rebel army. I have collected all his battle reports, not worth worrying about. In fact, there are many famous generals in the Western Jin, but they still can't save the kingdom from the crisis. Like the Western Jin and the Ji Kingdom, no matter how many famous generals there are, it is useless. No matter how much they win, the King can send it out.
All right, I will leave this to you first. I have to return to Azure Void to deal with the Zhao Kingdom. I am afraid I will have to wait until this battle is over to see you again."
Looking at Little Wei Yuan's hesitant, but also somewhat at a loss appearance. Zhang Sheng walked over, pasted lightly on his face, and then said softly: "The Zhao Kingdom also has immortals, don't be careless, run if you can't beat them."
Little Wei Yuan relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I will. Anyway, time is on our side. After we ascend to immortality, we will settle accounts with them slowly."
Zhang Sheng remembered one thing and said: "By the way, I beat up a Duke of Long's mansion Master Yu Jing on the way here. He has a move that is very interesting. He can escape without hurting his invincible heart. It is like this..."
Little Wei Yuan listened carefully, then pondered for a moment, and summoned a Dao soldier. After adjusting three or five times, the Dao soldier finally became exactly the same as Little Wei Yuan, even the expression and tone were very similar.
Leaving this Dao soldier to put on a scene, it was not easy to be discovered, and it could also pull with the enemy for a few more words, winning time for the main body to run, which was a step higher than that old man's means.
Ready, Little Wei Yuan returned to Azure Void from the secret realm. As for the four young masters Zhang Sheng caught, Little Wei Yuan didn't care at all, and even disapproved of Zhang Sheng's idea of wanting to extort a ransom.
His teacher was good at everything, but she had an obsession with making money. She had been like this for so many years and couldn't change it at all.
At this time, Guantun County had only two thousand defenders, but twenty cannons, more than a hundred rotary machine guns, and nearly a thousand high-power flying sword guns had been transported one after another. For a small county, this firepower was extremely cruel, but it lacked endurance, and the inventory of ammunition was at most enough to fight a big battle.
Little Wei Yuan had no choice. With Azure Void's current military system, the amount of materials needed for a battle was too large. The transportation volume of the secret realm teleportation portal was a drop in the bucket, and the main transportation volume had to be used to transport grain. Still have to wait for the floating boat airship fleet to scale up before they can be freer.
Saying goodbye to Zhang Sheng, Little Wei Yuan passed through the secret realm, then released his own aircraft, and returned to Azure Void in less than two hours. At this time, the two major legions had gathered and were ready to go.
The First Legion was a typical heavy armored legion, mainly heavy armored infantry, equipped with heavy chariots and armored trucks. The mobility of the Second Legion was relatively strong, and there were some breastplate riflemen, but the cultivation base was not inferior to the First Legion.
All the new city warriors were formed into a separate army, reorganized, and formed the Azure Void Legion, becoming the first legion with its own name. Little Wei Yuan did not use the Azure Void Legion this time, letting the Xu family youth and the offerings rest in the city, and fully expand the scale of the legion.
Little Wei Yuan's aircraft landed in the military city, and Cui Yu, Xiaoyu, and others were already waiting here. Little Wei Yuan was somewhat surprised that Xiaoyu was so active. It seemed that after Xiaoyu went to the Ji Kingdom last time, his temperament changed greatly, becoming very active, which made Little Wei Yuan somewhat uncomfortable.
Little Wei Yuan preferred the arrogant and stubborn Xiaoyu at the beginning. It was interesting to write to him at that time.
