Tang Dynasty

Chapter 29: Sentry Food (Part 2)

Views:

Because in Sihui County not far away, another rebel army was stationed. The generals of Guanjun were two ranks higher than the generals of Wang Pan, while in Shixiang Town, there was also a group of rebels stationed in charge of daily life. Therefore, after the brigade commander Deng Cun went to the county to pay a visit, the remaining people were obviously more relaxed than in other places because they were within the sphere of influence of the friendly army.

This sentiment even infected Zhou Huaian, who was the most deputy in charge, and put down most of the chores and continued to wander around and visit this market town with a few followers.

Because it was the place where Fuyi was once prosperous, although it seems to have been expropriated and enlisted several times by the rebels, the foundation of being one of the few large market towns in the place still remains, and the various facilities are quite complete and complete. .

However, the most processed local sandalwood incense is mainly used to worship and worship gods and Buddhas, which is mainly used for burning incense; it is only because the commercial roads of sea and land have been cut off, and the local consumer market has also been laid down by the rebels. The direct or indirect impact after Guangzhou has shrunk severely;

Therefore, not only the corresponding workshops and shops have been suspended for a long time and the artisans have been scattered, but also a lot of raw materials for incense have been accumulated in the local government and private warehouse Cangbing, because it can neither be used as a meal nor can it be used directly in the city. , And different degrees of decay and mildew began to occur in the absence of people's attention.

Therefore, for Zhou Huai'an, these things are almost the result of picking up for nothing. As long as the neighbouring rebels guarding the municipal customs and tax houses are well negotiated and managed, they can go in and carry and pick them at will; the only thing to worry about is the sentry food team. The extra capacity that China can provide is obviously not enough, and it needs to be targeted. .

Therefore, he even found some auxiliary materials such as realgar, sulfur and other loose materials such as camphor and mint here.

As for the manpower required for further processing, after the rapid decline of the local incense industry, there are a large number of people who are unemployed at home and lack a livelihood or have difficulty making ends meet; except for some with families or hometowns, the rest are fed. Among the young craftsmen attracted by the meal, there are a large number of objects to choose from.

After temporarily obtaining local incense-making techniques, manpower and raw materials, the products he expected, such as soil mosquito coils, moxa ointment and cooling oil, and subsequent related topical drugs, began to take shape.

Don’t underestimate these little things that are not important in later generations. Based on the experience of later generations when they walked in Africa, it is also very useful to put them in this land of the Lingnan where there are a lot of barbarians and political prisoners have been exiled for a long time. .

It's just that I was arranging to move the last batch of inventory on the way back, but an unexpected situation suddenly appeared.

Suddenly, Zhou Huaian heard a touch in the distance, but it was a figure dressed up as a local volunteer soldier who flew from the pierced door panel and dust of a closed shop onto the street, but he hummed no more. Failed to get up.

Then two more stumbling figures escaped, and then they were kicked over one after another by those who were chasing them, and they fell to the ground.

At this time, several local rebels staying nearby were able to reflect, and they rushed forward with knives and blades, yelling and cursing, as a situation of siege.

I saw the man who came out from behind, but he was suddenly speeded up to the treatment, like thunder and like a gun, slammed into the arms of one of the recent rebel soldiers; and then the opponent was hammered head-on. He immediately flew out with a sullen humming and slammed on the opposite wall, and then slowly slipped down like a sticker.

Then he slapped the slash from another close rebel, twisted his elbow into a reflexive force, and fell to the ground. .

The opponent waved his palm like a knife between leaping and leaping. As long as he was slashed and hit on a person, it would naturally bring out a kind of subtle trembling air, and it would be overwhelming if there was almost no enemy in one. ; And in the field of vision of a normal person, there are only a series of chaotic shadowy trajectories; if it weren't for Zhou Huaian, he had also opened the auxiliary field of vision with lower energy consumption, and there was even no way to capture the opponent's specific actions and postures.

In a twinkling of an eye, the rebel soldiers who had been loosely surrounded by three and five were divided by two, and they were broken down to the ground one after another, throwing all kinds of weapons to the ground. However, before he turned around and patted the dust on his body, the rebels, who were rushed by a new wave of howls, fought fiercely again.

This is Zhou Huaian could not help but release his own scanning function, and he found out immediately; although it looks plain and unremarkable on the outside, the other party’s vital signs are much stronger than ordinary people, and he felt it under the biometric scan and the surroundings. Compared to most of the people, it is simply a huge difference between the flame and the iron melting furnace.

The vital signs of the rebel soldiers who were knocked down to the ground quickly faded and disappeared. It seems that the opponent is bare-handed but the attack is sharp and ruthless, basically aiming to make the target lose combat effectiveness or die. ; If you use the right weapons, I’m afraid the lethality and combat effectiveness will be improved.

However, he can clearly feel that the other party's vital signs have become dimmed and weakened a lot after several outbreaks. This can not help but let him relax. Sure enough, any ability and skill must pay a corresponding price. , And cannot escape the basic category of the law of conservation of energy.

He couldn't help but sit down with the responding mark and remarks. After all, this is the first time Zhou Huaian saw something like martial arts in this world; but the other party seemed to feel something general, and looked around here blankly. After taking a look, he was already amidst shouting and chasing. After knocking down and overturning several chasing soldiers again, he leaped over the wall and disappeared completely within Zhou Huaian's perception.

Zhou Huaian also recalled and commented a little bit. The opponent's combat process and corresponding performance, the opponent's level of force is probably able to deal with more than a dozen armed soldiers at the same time, relying on a short burst of power to defeat each of them;

However, when encountering more armed soldiers gathered together, it is inevitable that they will be caught in a fight and see-saw. And when this number exceeds forty or fifty people, even if the opponent’s heyday and weapon bonuses, if they temporarily escape or escape again, they won’t be trapped or dragged to death. Possibility.

However, if the opponent has more sophisticated long-range attack methods such as bows and crossbows, relying on the terrain to deal with them, there is still a chance to defeat or drag down and scare away the half of the rebels.

Through this occasional incident, in addition to feeling a certain kind of personal threat, Zhou Huaian also felt a certain side of this world unknown to most people, was opening a small corner to himself, and let him come. After arriving in this world, it is finally less boring and unattractive.

This can be regarded as the people of the arena and masters of this era, and I don't know what level of existence the opponent belongs to in the level of personal force in this era. After all, the flying sword in the legends of the later Tang Dynasty took the first level, or the magical allusions and narratives of flying a hundred miles overnight, but it has been well-known for a long time.

However, the first thing he thought of next was to strengthen the guards around him, especially when it was impossible to directly increase the number of people, he could take advantage of the rights and interests of the fake public to help himself, and equip more powerful bows and arrows if he could. It's better to get a crossbow;

It is important to know that according to the "Questions of Li Weigong's Policy to Taizong", the high proportion of crossbows equipped by the army in the Tang Dynasty is also known in history. As long as you practice more, you will have enough deterrence and expulsion capabilities even if you encounter this kind of top-notch personal force.

So he thought of doing whatever he wanted. He couldn’t wait to take the five guards including Laoguan, then turned and returned to the temporary staff of the sentry food team.

Because he remembered that among the dozens of mountain folks and hunters recruited a few days ago, there seemed to be some people who could make medicated crossbows. This kind of side-by-side thing can also be used as a supplement to self-defense power. The so-called lack of range and killing. The principle of "compensating with poison" at that time.

"Who can dispense a crossbow... come out and speak"

Facing a group of new pawns who remained in the resident to receive management and training, the team deputy Lao Guan declared loudly

"The deputy manager has been dispatched..."

Immediately, as Zhou Huaian’s deputy commander and the sentinel team preparing for general affairs and promises, it was easy for two of the new pawns, who were born in Orion, to volunteer their own private recipes, but Zhou Huaian quickly discovered that these The poison of the crossbow used by the hunters is just a paralyzing component of a certain plant, and it is used to deal with some large and ferocious beasts.

However, because it is inconvenient to store and carry around for a long time, they do not have ready-made products and need to be reconstituted; therefore, several of the main ingredients need to be picked up and processed in pharmacies.

Fortunately, Shixiang Town is a Dayi city. Although it has been depressed, because of the former business and travel thoroughfare, the things in the medicine store are still more complete than other places; soon Maqianzi, Aconitum and Yemazi etc. Several main medicines can be found in different pharmacies;

Then, under Zhou Huai'an's interesting observation, with ready-made tools such as the roller ramming in the last shop, the on-site processing and concoction started. When the older hunter solemnly used the grey sticky substance extracted from the extraction to dye and dry the several bundles of arrows he brought in the resident, he was completely relieved.

"Now, at least it can maintain the utility for more than half a month..."

"As long as you are not exposed to rain or water,"

"It's okay even if you get it again after a month..."

"As long as it can break the skin by half, even the larger wild boar will have a chance to fall down..."

Zhou Huaian nodded reluctantly. As a common problem of typical plant extract products, it is at this level under the volatilization and oxidative degradation of the natural environment.

And before leaving with these finished products, in order to prevent the escaped lurking around and nearby, and causing some unexpected situation, he again consumed a little physical energy to launch a routine scan;

However, it was the scanning function activated this time that he had other unexpected discoveries. (End of this chapter)
