The Emperor is Above

Chapter 452 Strong soldiers and horses
The powerful Dragon City Guards, in addition to their own strong strength, also rely on excellent armor and weapons.

At the northeast wind outlet of Longcheng Fortress, dozens of huge windmills are located on the mountain, constantly making a harsh noise.

The number of craftsmen and young and strong men increased to nearly a thousand, and they were busy all the time. Some of them kept bringing in various raw materials, while others used carts to transport full of various weapons and armor towards the warehouse.

"Here, the best ironwood halberd, the five-meter-long chevaux-de-frise spear, and here is the giant horse-slaying sword I made with reference to Chai Yong's advice. They are all made of five-color copper and red refined copper."

Master Tu Gu proudly displayed the latest weapons one by one, "Did you see this? I also specially asked the talisman master and weapon refiner from the research institute to help.

Not only has the smelting method been further improved to make the weapons more durable, sharper and less prone to damage, but the runes have also been used to increase the lethality."

"Good, great weapons!" As the actual trainer of the Dragon City Guards, Chai Yong was more concerned about the soldiers' equipment. "Master Tu Gu, I wonder how many of these weapons have been produced? Are there 20,000?"

"What? Twenty thousand?"

As if stimulated, Tushigu's round belly bulged up.

"Chai Yong, don't you see what these refining materials are used for? Yang Hu, Mr. Kui Wendou and others have created eight more war puppets in one go.

Almost all the materials mined and smelted from the two mines were used to make war puppets. Now, these ten thousand weapons of various types were only obtained after much persuasion from me. "

"It's not bad to have 10,000 talisman soldiers. Besides war puppets, we also have armored vehicles to cooperate with us. It's not bad to have 10,000 people to fight."

Qing Yi carefully observed the weapons in front of him and had to admit that Master Tun was worthy of his reputation as the Master of Ancient Weapons and Armor. These weapons would not lose their status even if used by a seventh-rank lower-rank soldier.

What's more, Tun Shigu also specially made more sophisticated weapons for the private armies of the sixth-grade upper-armored soldiers, the fifth-grade warriors, and the fourth-grade martial artists, making hundreds of retainers and private soldiers smile.

"These swords and long weapons were made by Ying Feizi and other weapon refiners, and rune masters like Lu Wangzhi helped carve rune formations. These rune weapons are at least worth a fortune in the capital."

Tu Shigu regained his smiling expression, distributed many talisman weapons to everyone one by one, and took out a jet-black longbow and handed it to Qing Yi, saying,
"Brother, I'm afraid the strong bow made from the tendons of a fourth-grade crocodile dragon is not suitable for you. This one is made from the bones and tendons of a third-grade snake from the Coiled Snake Prince of the Black Wind Tribe."

"Well, the strength is very stable, at least it can adapt to the force of 500,000 kilograms!"

Qing Yi carefully pulled the bowstring. Although the force was still a little weak, it was already the best bow and arrow that Tun Shigu could provide.

"Alas, what a pity! It seems that the strength of this bow is still a little weak. I can only have a chance to obtain better materials in the future and then make a suitable strong bow for you!"

Tu Shigu looked a little regretful, and then took out a new set of armor, "Let's take a look at the new armor. I specially asked Jiang Ji to help design the appearance. Gongsun Jiazai, why don't you try it on to see if it fits you well?"

"Haha, I'll give it a try!"

Gongsun Wu was of course very cooperative with the armor designed by his mother. When he finished changing into the armor, all the retainers and private soldiers around him exclaimed in surprise.

There was no other way. Gongsun Wu himself was a famous handsome man, and with the contrast of this armor, he immediately captured the hearts of his retainers and private soldiers, making them all itchy.

Even Chai Yong, who didn't care about the appearance of armor before, couldn't wait to say: "Master Gu, which armor is suitable for us? I want to try it too!"

At this moment, no one laughed at Chai Yong's inconsistency. They themselves felt the same way. Wearing such armor was the most suitable attire for the Dragon City Guards.

Judging people by their appearance has never been just a human privilege. No matter which world it is, there is almost always the idea that appearance is justice.

If the Dragon City Guards went into battle wearing such armor, no one would know that their side was the embodiment of justice. After carefully checking all the armor and weapons to see that they were of excellent quality, Qing Yi ordered the Dragon City Guards to carefully select 10,000 people to wear new armor and equip them with new rune weapons.

The morale of the entire fiefdom was boosted, and under the heroic appearance, all the soldiers felt that their spirit and vitality were sublimated to a new level.

While the Dragon City Guards were changing their uniforms, the Imperial College students and puppeteers also worked with Tu Shigu and his group of craftsmen to produce armored vehicles on a large scale.

In the tall warehouse, chariots gleaming with metallic luster are neatly arranged, and 500 newly selected apprentices are practicing their postures seriously.

"Doctor, these chariots can also tow a baggage cart behind them. In addition, each chariot and baggage cart can carry twelve people, which will help save the soldiers' physical strength during the march.

I have discussed with Mr. Kui Wendou that we will produce a total of 1,000 chariots this time, to avoid shortages caused by the expansion of the war in the future, and to be able to replace new chariots more quickly in case of damage. "

Qing Yi nodded in satisfaction at Yang Hu's detailed explanation: "In fact, making more is a good thing. Nowadays, the young people in the academy are practicing harder and harder. There are new ninth-grade talisman masters every day. With every extra day of preparation, our strength will become stronger."

While strolling around with Yang Hu, Qing Yi saw that many of these students looked worried, and he quickly figured out the reason for their worry.

There is certainly no need to worry about the powerful Dragon City. These students of the Imperial Academy are obviously worried that the Xianyu army will break through the border city and cause harm to their families and relatives.

So Qing Yi patted his chest and assured them: "My fellow students, don't worry about the attack of the Xianyu tribe. The border defense line is not so easy to fall.

In addition, the king authorized me to command the military forces of the twelve cities in the northern border. Even if the Xianyu army captures the border fortress, I will fight side by side with you to drive the Xianyu army back completely. "

When the students heard Qing Yi's assurance, the worries on their faces turned into gratitude, and they all said, "We all believe in the doctor."

Yang Hu said seriously, "The current situation in Xing State may seem to be caused by natural disasters or external invasions, but in essence it is still caused by the officials in the court, including my father.

If they had not fought for power and excluded talents, how could Xing State have ended up like this? Now, with internal and external troubles, the only one who can save Xing State is the senior official.

Therefore, no matter what happens in the border town or what happens in the capital, we, the classmates, who chose to follow the doctor north, will never have second thoughts. "

"Brother Yang, thank you very much!" Qing Yi's tone was very serious. He was very grateful for the trust these imperial students had in him.

Yang Hu changed his tone and said, "Actually, I don't like these political situations, but the Tai Chi compass that the doctor brought is indeed magical.

It can actually gather spiritual energy to restore the used crystals. If we can thoroughly study the process, we can then realize the large-scale production of war puppets."

The appearance of the Tai Chi compass caused Yang Hu and Kui Wen to study it without distinguishing right from wrong, and also made an honest-looking young man like Zhu Zhiwu extremely excited.

With plenty of crystals to use, he had enough time to study the posture manipulation skills and fully unleash the combat effectiveness of the war puppet.

For this reason, Qing Yi shamelessly asked the elders of the Longjiu family to collect a new batch of high-quality crystals, so that he could barely meet the demand for ten war puppets.

After more than ten days of exploration, Zhu Zhiwu not only had enough fun, but also selected nine other people with outstanding combat awareness, including Liu Xu, Mengzi, Shitou, etc., to operate the war puppets together.

Zhu Zhiwu is most familiar with war puppets, and he inherited the excellent combat sense from his left master Zhu Long, so he was appointed by Qing Yi as the commander of the war puppet camp.

Just as the preparations for the Longcheng Fengtu battle were proceeding in an orderly manner, Shi Dazhu left for more than ten days and returned quickly, bringing the latest intelligence on the border city's defense line.
