It's not daybreak yet.
Cookie escorted a batch of explosives to the county town.
Since they went to Zhongshan, Cheng Qing was in charge of garrisoning Shilin Village.
The Feng brothers are very capable, and the production of explosives is running smoothly. Dozens of explosives are still produced every day, and there are currently more than 400 in stock.
It may not be enough.
This is where the fire chariot comes in handy.
Wei Ting made some modifications to the fire chariot, significantly increasing the power of the rockets it launched. When using fire attacks, the fire chariot is more useful than explosives.
Cookie distributed the gunpowder and handed it over to the soldiers.
He sighed to Wei Ling, "We don't even have enough for ourselves, and we still have to make two thousand little black balls to pay off our debts. Tell me, when will we be able to pay off the debt owed by the girl..."
It is only natural to pay back your debts.
Thinking about the debts he owed, Cookie felt uncomfortable all over. He felt very anxious and wanted to pay off the debts quickly.
But the supply of explosives was dwindling.
Wei Mingyuan took away the explosives from the fort's armory, and this time the girl took away another four hundred small black balls...
What's more, we are about to start sweeping Yizhou and heading to Guangping...
We worked overtime to rush the production, but the inventory quickly ran out and we didn't know what to hand over to Zhongshan State this month.
There is absolutely no hope for Cookie!
Wei Ling said nothing.
In his heart, his fifth cousin was very powerful. How could he possibly agree with Mr. Qu and question his fifth cousin's decision?
Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Cookie left listlessly.
I'm in a bad mood and don't even feel like chatting with anyone.
The sky is still hazy.
The county town has begun to become active.
A team consisting of 9,000 Zhongshan troops and some of their subordinates were ready to go and marched in orderly steps to assemble at the gate of the county town.
Sixty Yizhou soldiers were also mixed in. Their military uniforms were thick and they were wearing the clothes of the Wei family's troops. If no one familiar with them could identify them, they would probably be mistaken for the Wei family's soldiers.
In fact, this is indeed the case. The sense of belonging of these few Yizhou troops to the fort is growing stronger day by day.
They had been here for almost a year and were already very familiar with everyone in the fort. Every day, they ate and lived with the Wei family's troops, trained together, played and laughed together, and went on missions together...
Walk out of the county.
The soldiers were divided into four columns, with 2,500 men standing separately in each column.
General Chen and Zhang Yuanyan strode outside and each of them inspected their troops.
General Chen had already issued an order yesterday, requiring the soldiers to obey the orders of the commanders of each team, and those who disobeyed the orders would be dealt with according to military regulations.
Wei Ling arrived a little late. Instead of gathering at the city gate, he went to find a few cousins first.
Wei Da, Wei He and others rested in the county town yesterday. Knowing that they would go out with the army today, the younger brothers did not sleep well. When they were awakened by Wei Ling, they were just feeling a little sleepy, but they could only struggle to get out of bed.
General Chen and Zhang Yuanyan were the first to count the troops. In addition to food and fodder, they each received 100 explosives distributed by Cookie, as well as 100 fire chariots, rocket arrows, armor-piercing arrows and other equipment that had just been pushed out of the arsenal.
"We will be on our way first and won't wait for you. I hope Mr. Ling will let you know when we get there."
The two of them said a few words to Wei Ling who had hurried over, and led the team to leave first.
The four teams are heading in different directions. Although Beiqiu also has to pass through Yimu, it will go to the northeast. Xinxiang is closer. If they set off now, they will reach the border of Ling County just at dawn. If there is no zombie tide, they can go straight to the county seat.
As for the vehicles for transporting supplies, none of the four teams had prepared any.
Since the decision has been made to rob the entire county, vehicles are of course considered part of the county's supplies. Every county has a few vehicles, so we can just look for them in the city when the time comes.
When Wei Xiyin brought Wei Lang and Chang Ying over, the other two teams had already set off.
Besides the five thousand soldiers, there were only a few cousins standing at the city gate.
Wei Lang hadn't gone out with his sister for a long time. Seeing his cousins Wei Da and Wei He were there, he excitedly went over and showed off his horse to them.
The three idiots gathered together and whispered for a long time.
Wei Xiyin glanced around and asked the centurions leading the Zhongshan Army, "Are you ready?"
A centurion stepped out, clasped his fists, and replied, "My lady, Lord Ting has checked the equipment, the little black balls, and other supplies. Everything is ready."
Wei Xiyin found that there was no problem, waved his hand, and prepared to set off.
In the previous section of the journey, all three teams had to pass through Yimu, and the shell mound was above Yimu. Zhang Yuanyan did not wait for them, probably because he wanted to transport the supplies back as soon as possible.
If we go there now, we might even meet our third uncle.
At this time, Qin Shan had led his men to guard the border areas in two directions, responsible for patrolling the border line and receiving the supplies transported back.
The sky gradually became brighter.
The sun came out, and the strong sunlight shone on everyone, and the temperature gradually rose.
Wei Xiyin and others quickly led the team to the border of Ling County.
The original boundary marker disappeared, replaced by a six-meter-high wall that encloses the entire Ling County. There is a copper gate next to the earth wall, with an iron railing inside and outside. There is also a small window on the copper door for checking the situation outside.
There is a tall watchtower above the wall, where sentries stand on patrol.
At this time, the bronze door opened, leaving only an iron bar as a barrier.
Qin Shan was standing by the iron gate, waiting for the girl to come.
"Master Zhang left not long ago, so the bronze door is not closed." Qin Shan explained.
The gate has three layers of protection. Even if the copper door is opened, there is still a door made of iron bars outside to block it.
Wei Xiyin nodded slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, someone will be back today, just guard this place."
