Chapter 91: Speedy Swordsmanship

Poyang, inside and outside, was in a state of war preparation.

Not only the soldiers were busy.

Ordinary people could not escape corvee labor either.

The border wall was built nearly two hundred years ago and requires maintenance every year.

Now that the war is imminent, it is even more important to reinforce the weak links.

Two hundred miles of the Great Wall.

The manpower of the Qianhu Suo alone is not enough, so we can only rely on the people.

"Uncle Laizi, eat something."

Chen Sanshi was sent to supervise and lead Wang Li to deliver meals to the villagers.

This kind of temporary corvee labor doesn't even provide food.

The common people have to do it even if they don't want to.

Otherwise, the barbarians would break into the city and leave no one alive.

"The steamed bread smells so good. Shitou, you are a high-ranking official now, so you must have been greedy for money recently!"

The bald man took it and started chewing it without saying a single nice word.

"presumptuous!"

Wang Li angrily said, "You bastard, the master kindly asked Qian Hu to give you food, why don't you know how to appreciate it?!"

"A dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory!"

The rest of the villagers immediately started spitting and cursing.

"Go to hell, you bastard!"

"Yes, dying in the hands of the barbarians outside the city is a worthy death for you!"

"..."

Chen Sanshi ignored him, left Wang Li to watch over him, and went about his own business.

He was the one who asked Xiang Tingchun to transfer the grain from the warehouse.

This kind of defensive battle would become much more difficult without the cooperation of the people.

How can you want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat?

The grain reserves of the Qianhu Suo are enough for six months, so it is not a big deal to distribute a small portion of it to the people.

There are countless grains stored in the granaries of the gentry and martial arts masters, waiting to be sold at a higher price in winter.

If it’s really not enough, go rob a martial arts gym.

Return to the barracks.

With the help of Linghe's medicinal power, Chen Sanshi practiced spear skills for two hours, and then began to practice sword skills.

Dian Cang Sword Technique

It is divided into three parts in total.

The part in his hand can be cultivated directly to the level of refining the internal organs. There are a total of thirteen swords, and each sword has as many as seventy-two variations. There is no particularly obvious feature. If you have to say it, the feature is that it focuses on killing. Every move and every style is used to kill people.

The Zhenyue Sword hummed and vibrated in Chen Sanshi's hand, sometimes fast as a storm, sometimes slow as flowing clouds. Each sword contained the ever-changing momentum, majestic and powerful, splitting the wind and tearing the clouds.

[Effect: Fighting with both hands, fast sword skills]

[Left and right fighting: Do two things at once, wield two weapons at the same time, and make the best use of your strengths to make up for your weaknesses. ]

[Sword Speed: In the physical realm, sword skills are extremely fast and unimpeded]

Kendo Speed ​​Pass!
After getting started, my proficiency level is still only fifty.

In other words, as long as you don't exceed your own realm, breaking through is as easy as eating and drinking.

Since then.

Wang Zhi's concerns about delaying his spear training no longer existed.

more important.

It's a fight between the left and right!
Normal people cannot do two things at once.

Chen Sanshi practiced an additional short weapon just to deal with special environments. It would occasionally be better to deal with enemies who could get close to him than to be helpless. It was always better than being unarmed.

But if the two sets of skills can be performed at the same time, a qualitative change will occur!

Sometimes, the effect of one plus one is far greater than two!

The spear is the king of all weapons, but its only drawback is that it is too long. Even though his spear skills are perfect, no one has successfully gotten close to him yet, but that doesn't mean they won't be able to do so in the future.

Being able to perform sword and gun skills at the same time can completely make up for this.

Chen Sanshi tried it on the spot.

The Zhenyue Sword and the Luye Spear were in his hands as if two people were controlling them, and they were two people with the ultimate tacit understanding.

Especially the Zhenyue Sword.

Holding the sword in my left hand doesn't feel awkward at all, it actually comes with ease!
"Speed ​​pass!"

Chen Sanshi holds a gun in his right hand and a sword in his left hand.

Just two days and nights.

He advanced the Zhenyue Sword to the level of blood-training technique, and the blood in his body became even stronger, and his progress in spear skills was not affected.

"Master Chen."

Zhao Kang found him and said, "Go to the main tent. Qian Hu has something important to tell everyone."

Chinese military camp.

All the centurions were present.

In addition, County Magistrate Xue, Prefect Ji, and even Sun Li and Sun Buqi were all present.

Xiang Tingchun glanced at Feng Yong and signaled him that he could start.

"Yes!"

Feng Yong pointed to a location twenty miles outside the Great Wall on the sand table and said, "Two days ago, I was ordered to go out of the city for a new round of reconnaissance. I found that the barbarians had begun to set up camps here one after another, and I got accurate intelligence that they would attack Poyang in five days at the latest.

“Among them, the total force is about 6,000, including 2,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry.

"The number of those who are training organs has increased to two, the number of those who are training bones has increased to ten, and the number of those who are training blood has increased to a certain level.

“In addition, heavy equipment such as catapults and siege vehicles are all available.

“On the other hand, let’s look at our side.

"There are 1,056 combat-capable soldiers, plus 200 martial arts school disciples, three internal organ training warriors, and 12 bone training warriors who will participate in the battle.

"Master Qianhu, I have finished my report."

"Ah."

Xiang Tingchun nodded slightly: "Generally speaking, we have more high-level combat power, but the Xihe tribe has several times more troops than us. Even if we just hold on, it will be difficult to hold out for too long.

"So, Prefect Ji, can you help me ask the Anding Prefecture Commandery to send another 1,500 troops?"

"This is not my responsibility."

Ji Guangxian said awkwardly: "Besides, Anding Prefecture is facing 50,000 cavalrymen, so there is no extra force to deploy. At most, we can call in another Lianzang from our tribe to help."

His mission was not completed. He could not go back.

Staying in Poyang means sharing life and death with Poyang.

"Sun Qianjin."

Xiang Tingchun shifted his gaze: "Can't the Supervisory Office transfer some people here?"

"I have written a letter and asked the post station to send it to Liangzhou as soon as possible. My father should have made arrangements."

Sun Li said in a cold voice: "Before that, my brother and I will stay in Poyang to help, and we will never run away from the battlefield."

"Great! Everyone in the world knows that the Eight Great Battalions are iron-blooded. It seems that their reputation is well-deserved!"

Xiang Tingchun looked at everyone and encouraged them, "Everyone, even the commander-in-chief's daughter and young master are fighting to the death, how can we retreat?
"Pass on my order. Starting tomorrow, all soldiers of the Poyang Thousand Households will be stationed at the Great Wall and be on standby for twelve hours a day, ready to meet the enemy at any time!"

"Obey the order!"

Everyone took orders.

"Master Chen!"

Chen Sanshi, who was about to go home first, was called and stopped. "Prefect Ji, what can I do for you?"

"hehe."

Ji Guangxian smiled and said, "Lord Chen went deep into enemy territory for hundreds of miles alone and captured the prince alive amidst heavy siege. You have accomplished an amazing feat. I'm sure that soon even the capital will hear of your great name.

"Lord Gao is the best judge of people and will definitely entrust you with an important task."

"Thank you for the support from Governor Ji."

Chen Sanshi said perfunctorily: "Unfortunately, even if I want to leave Poyang, I can't leave now. No matter how big the matter is, we have to wait until the war is over."

One word.

drag!
As long as we drag it out until his realm is improved, all problems will be solved.

"Master Chen is right."

Ji Guangxian stroked his beard and said, "I will not leave either. I will stay and live and die with the soldiers of Poyang. This matter should indeed be discussed after the war is over."

"Prefect Ji is righteous!"

Chen Sanshi changed the subject: "I just don't know..."

"no!"

Ji Guangxian interrupted and said, "Captain Chen, I am going on a long journey, how can I carry so many medicinal herbs with me?
"Of course, if Captain Chen can give me a guarantee, I can send someone from Anding Prefecture to deliver more medicinal materials as quickly as possible."

"Governor Ji misunderstood."

Chen Sanshi said: "I understand the principle of not receiving rewards without merit.

"'Condensed Body Strengthening Soup' is of extraordinary value. Even if Governor Ji is generous, I would not be so shameless as to continue to enjoy it for free.

"I want to ask if Governor Ji has any other secret medicines? For example, medicines for healing and restoring blood. I dare not ask for more, even if it is only enough for one use."

"This is it~"

Prefect Ji groaned for a moment and said, "Of course there is! Since my Ji family started out as a medicinal material business, how could we have only one secret recipe? Whether it's the wound medicine used to treat external injuries or the blood-replenishing pills that help quickly restore qi and blood, the medicines in my Ji family are many times better than those outside.

"Since Captain Chen has asked, how can I refuse? I will ask someone to send some to you later."

"Thank you, Governor Ji!"

Chen Sanshi clasped his fists, said goodbye and left.

"grown ups."

Unit laughed and said, "He started asking for medicine."

"Of course, the prescription of my Ji family in the bone training stage was taken away by His Highness to train his confidants. No one would be willing to change the medicine after using it!"

Ji Guangxian said confidently: "You can send him the medicine later. Remember, only send enough for one use of each medicine. If he begs me for the first time, he will beg me for the second time. Why worry about not being able to control me?"

……

"It's done!"

Chen Sanshi successfully formulated the "Ninglu Body-Building Soup", "Liuyuan Blood-Replenishing Pills", and a secret recipe of wound medicine for treating external injuries.

The Condensed Body Strengthening Soup is still useful even if you have only achieved a small success in bone strengthening.

【Progress: 108/2000】

The other two secret medicines are not very effective, but don’t waste them.

It can also make the prefect feel that his secret medicine is very attractive to him, and at least he will not cause trouble for him before the war is over.

[Skills: Medical Skills. General (Entry Level)]

【Progress: 403/500】

"My medical skills are about to break through!"

Chen Sanshi returned home.

Gu Xinlan prepared dinner as usual.

at night.

She took out the dark blue tight robe that had taken her two months to sew, and put it on the man herself, checking if there was any place that didn't fit so that she could make the best adjustments overnight.

"It's the right size. It looks really handsome on Shi Ge'er."

Under candlelight, in front of the bronze mirror.

Gu Xinlan just stared at her man quietly, her almond-shaped eyes gradually turning red and tearful from a dazed look. She hugged him unconsciously, hugged his strong waist tightly, and murmured, "Sister Tong's baby will be born in the next two days."

"I know."

This was the first time that Chen Sanshi had worn such fitting and comfortable clothes since he came into this world.

He straightened his sleeves and replied, "Xu Bin wants to guard the city with me, you help keep an eye on him."

"That was not what I meant……"

Gu Xinlan hugged him tighter, but her voice became very low: "I was thinking, when you come back, we should have one too."

Speaking of the back.

There was more sob in her voice than shyness.

The key point of this sentence is "come back".

"Don't worry, I'm very capable."

Chen Sanshi suddenly picked him up by the waist and said, "Besides, we don't have to wait until we get back. We can do it now."

"Hmm~"

……

tonight.

There are countless similar scenes that will be played out in military settlements.

The old father was silent, the old mother gave instructions, and the wife and children were sobbing.

Because no one knows if tonight will be the last night of the reunion.

starting from tomorrow.

All soldiers must be stationed at the Great Wall to resist the invasion of barbarians.

No one is allowed to return home until the war is over.
