Chapter 746 Young General vs. Rich Lady 49
"Yes!" Zhuo Zhantu knelt down and accepted the order.
All the generals received their orders and went about their duties, except Yan Changfeng who had nothing to do. Apart from his status as a prince, his military rank was higher than the other eight, but Huo Xiao never used him.
Bah! What is he thinking? He is on an equal footing with Huo Xiao, so he doesn't want to listen to Huo Xiao's orders.
Yan Changfeng hugged a box of crossbows and said, "This stuff is useful. I'll take a box back. If a war breaks out, I will also go to the battlefield!"
"There are so many women in the mansion, and there is also a garment factory. They all rely on this prince to protect them. From now on, you don't have to send people to guard the garment factory. This prince can protect Shurou and those female workers!"
Huo Xiao did not stop him and let Yan Changfeng go out with the crossbow.
After a while, Yan Changfeng came back and went out with a box of bulletproof vests. A box of bulletproof vests was not light. Yan Changfeng was so tired that he was out of breath and ran several times before he finished moving it.
Yan Changfeng drove away in his carriage, secretly delighted in his heart. These were all obtained for free, and the gods did not ask for any offerings. He made a fortune!
Ji Yunhuan had no plan to offer any offerings. Although Yan Changfeng was not very reasonable, there were so many people in the Yan Mansion, and they definitely needed weapons to protect them.
Yan Changfeng chose a crossbow, which was quite suitable. Ordinary crossbows were not heavy. If something happened, the women might be able to use the crossbows to protect themselves, which were actually more useful than swords.
"I'll try to get some more weapons, maybe some hidden weapons, like a dagger or a knife. I don't know how lethal they are, but if they're useful, I'll send them to you."
Ji Yunhuan yawned. "The rainfall equipment should arrive tomorrow. Let Yan Changfeng tinker with it. He has the least time. If he fails and wastes ammunition, let him pay for it! He has money anyway."
"Tell me what you need. I'm already thinking of ways to get explosives. Come on, little general. I'm counting on you!"
Huo Xiao felt soft in his heart. He bowed to the magic mirror and said, "It's Xiao's fault for waking up the god in the middle of the night. God, go and rest."
The sound of gongs and drums rang out in the camp. The soldiers lying on the ground got up, staggered with half-opened eyes, and began to look for their own troops.
After a few days of training, these people have become more competent. It is impossible to improve their fighting strength all at once, but there is still discipline, and they follow orders and won't run around like headless flies anymore.
The new recruits in training were given bulletproof vests and helmets, and weapons such as swords were also distributed. Those with less strength were given smaller knives. Everyone got their own weapon.
Everyone was very excited. Even the veterans had never seen such good weapons. And everyone had one. They no longer had to worry about going to the battlefield without a weapon.
The centurion shouted at his squad, "Weapons are your life. If you lose your weapons on the battlefield, you will be dead soon!"
"In the past, recruits like you never had the chance to touch weapons, so how could you play with them like you do now? Do you remember the sword techniques you learned this morning? I'll demonstrate them to you again with a real sword."
The centurion drew his sword and aimed it at the wooden stake. With one strike, the thick wood was cut in half without any damage to the blade.
"Excellent knife!" the centurion exclaimed. "The cut is neat and sharp!"
After the centurion's demonstration, the new recruits also started practicing. Some of them chopped at wooden stakes as thick as their thighs, leaving deep marks. If the force was not applied correctly, it would be difficult to cut the wooden stake in one go.
Those who have practiced well have already started fighting. The feeling of using real weapons is completely different. They can feel the blood in their bodies boiling.
The soldier on the left was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by the knife. Although he received the force in time, he was still shocked and started coughing.
The soldier who injured someone was shocked and rushed forward to check, "Are you okay? I... I thought you could get away with it, Centurion! Centurion! Someone is injured here, can you please ask the military doctor to come over?"
The injured soldier patted his chest and said, "I'm fine! I have a bulletproof vest to protect me. I just got shaken a little."
The centurion came over to check and found that only a shallow mark was left on the bulletproof vest. The vest looked like a thin layer, but it was able to block the attack of swords and knives.
The gifts from God are indeed extraordinary.
The centurion took out his old knife and chopped on the bulletproof vest with all his strength. With a click, the vest was intact, but the old knife was torn.
The centurion laughed loudly. "Good, good, good! Very good! I was worried that you would get hurt by using real swords, so I didn't dare to train you freely. Now it's okay. With this vest, no one will die."
"As long as you don't die from training, then train to death. It's time to increase the intensity a little more for you."
The training ground was filled with the cries of new recruits, while the veterans watched the fun from the sidelines, laughing till they were bent over with joy.
Soon, they could no longer laugh because the major general came with a sword.
When new weapons arrived, not only did the new soldiers have to train, but the veterans also had to adapt to the new weapons and armor.
A group of elite soldiers put on light armor, and the rest put on bulletproof vests and helmets. All of them were equipped with weapons and stood in neat rows in the Beidaying.
Compared with the Huo family army at its peak, there are really too few of these people, but their momentum remains the same as before.
With the help of the gods, they had food, drink and weapons, and they were full of confidence, so they practiced extra hard.
Today's training was not over until the sun set. The recruits had a competition, and the team led by the centurion won. He also received a set of heavy armor as a reward from the major general, which was very impressive.
The next day, the rainfall equipment arrived.
Huo Xiao took the bronze mirror to Yan Mansion and went to the warehouse in the backyard with ease.
The warehouse was expanded a lot and several rooms were connected. It was filled with bundles of cloth, ready-made clothes, cloth shoes, etc., but it did not look messy at all and was kept very tidy.
The garment factory has also expanded a lot. There are now 500 sewing machines working together. The gods have also sent some other machines, as well as soles and other materials, making it very convenient to make shoes.
Huo Xiao nodded at Gao Shurou and said, "Thank you, madam. The soldiers can all wear new clothes and new shoes. It is all thanks to you."
Gao Shurou bowed in return, "Shurou dare not take credit for it, it is all because of the mercy of the gods, otherwise even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. I have sent away all the idlers, so don't worry, General."
Huo Xiao placed the bronze mirror on the table, and an anti-aircraft gun used for artificial rainfall appeared in the room, with several boxes of shells next to it.
Yan Changfeng rushed over excitedly, rotating the aiming machine, and couldn't wait to try it out.
"It's exactly the same as in the video! Fill it with shells and shoot them into the clouds to make it rain. I can't wait, I'm going to fire a few shells now to give it a try. It must be fun!"
