Chapter 70 Preparation for War
Li Xian closed his eyes and estimated: "Four musket teams were established, each team had two top snipers, and they were held in the Foundation Establishment Period. The remaining ones were divided into 10 ordinary snipers, and they were admitted based on the best. The remaining ones were divided into 25 ordinary gunmen, and they were admitted based on the best.
The remaining 12 top snipers are teamed up alone, Mr. Beichen, you personally command it.”
"Yes!" Beichen Yuqing was overjoyed. He had a trump card in his hands in the first battle, so he wanted to achieve great things.
Xu Ren added in time: "Leave 6 top snipers to protect the factory."
Li Xian smiled and was so excited that he almost lost his lair.
Let’s make arrangements again. After the 160 musketeers were allocated, all the people in the factory who could fight were armed and guarded the factory.
There are still 1,000 elite troops attacking, preparing to intercept Cai's team halfway.
But there are only one thousand people, plus 134 musketeers, and their abilities are still not enough. Xu Ren's advice is very simple, just go to the eldest son Li Liang to borrow soldiers; don't have too many, just 5,000 is enough.
After borrowing 5,000 soldiers, it will not affect the border defense of Anyang County; it can even allow some disabled soldiers to arm the number. Cai State will not really attack Daxia State now. Although the current Daxia State is already in turmoil, it still has a little skeleton after all, and it will still hurt to stab it.
Soon Li Liang also arrived. After not seeing each other for a few days, Li Liang had already risen to the Golden Pill stage, which was a surprise - thanks to Li Xian's two spirit stones.
The letters Li Yulong gave to Li Liang and Li Xian are basically the same; just give Li Liang a few more instructions - take care of your younger brother.
After Li Liang arrived, he naturally participated in the heated discussion. The main theme was consistent. No one in Cai's team nor the Kong family's team could be put back.
In addition, Xu Ren also explained the matter of taking the opportunity to seize Kaiping County. The talks between the two sides were very smooth. Everything went smoothly, but there was a problem with the matter of using the army.
It’s not that Li Liang had a problem, but that Li Liang’s adviser Zou Hui proposed “fair deal”—there is no problem with 5,000 elite soldiers, but your sniper rifle is good, so you can play with two.
However, during this exchange and considering the subsequent battle, Li Xian had to leak the horror of guns. Needless to say, Li Liang's eyes were so shocked that he glared out. However, when demonstrating the gun, the demonstration was an ordinary single-shot rifle.
But Li Liang was unable to speak out when asking for a gun; as a strategist, Zou Hui had to make plans for his lord and seek benefits.
However, facing Zou Hui's "greed", Xu Ren smiled slightly, "Li Xian is the commander appointed by His Majesty."
One sentence made Zou Hui's face flushed. Yes, Li Xian did not take over the 30,000 soldiers, but it must be said that according to the "regulation", these 30,000 soldiers belong to Li Xian!
But Xu Ren naturally would not simply refuse. He paused for a moment and bowed to Li Liang: "Besides, two guns are not enough. Transfer 10 people to the eldest son for use. 10 people, 10 guns, and 2,000 bullets.
Liu Leigang, please click 10 'excellent' snipers to the eldest son."
Li Liang was overjoyed.
Li Xian's face was weird.
Liu Lei just turned around and went out, and soon chose 10 "excellent" snipers - from 160 ordinary musketeers, he chose 10 out of 160 ordinary musketeers.
Ten musketeers lined up, all of whom were above the Qi Refining Stage, and they were indeed very excellent. The first one was holding his head up and reported loudly: "Zhang Hongtao led Shen Jianfei, Chen Wei, Liu Yongfu, Fan Zide, Chen Feihong, Zhou Yusheng, Meng Xian, Feng Sihai, Lei Guanzhong, and a total of ten people, report to the eldest son."
Li Liang was very satisfied, so he immediately promised Zhang Hongtao, who had 10 people, a total of 50 taels of gold.
Zhang Hongtao and others were grateful on the surface, but they were thinking in their hearts: This young master is so stingy, ten people are rewarded with 50 taels of gold; how can they compare to Mr. Li Xian?
In a word, Li Liang's action to poach the enemy failed. But Li Liang was still unaware of it and was still complacent. Later, everyone discussed the strategic plan and dispersed and everything was implemented according to the plan.
Before leaving, Li Xian gave Li Liang a mysterious big box, pretending to be mysterious - he must be opened alone!
More than two hours later, the five thousand elite soldiers sent by Li Liang arrived, and they were real elite soldiers, led by Wang Jian, one of the three generals under Li Liang; all of them were covered with stainless steel armor, shining and dazzling.
Compared with the front line, Li Xian is the main battlefield of this battle, so he naturally has to send elite soldiers.
"Master Wang Jian comes to report." When Wang Jian saw Li Xian, he was quite respectful.
Li Xian looked at the soldiers, their heads held high and their chests were raised, with bright light in their eyes. "Very good."
After looking around, Li Xian directly pinched a small spell and flew into the air, "Dear soldiers, don't say much nonsense. Kill an enemy in the Qi Refining Stage and reward one tael of gold; kill a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage and reward 5 taels of gold. The upper limit will not be capped.
Military merits are still calculated according to the original standards. Whether you can become a general or command thousands of troops is in your own hands.
Be prepared, we will set out tomorrow morning. Now, line up to collect personal belongings.”
Personal items are very simple, mainly because each person wears 5 more long swords; when fighting cold weapons, weapons are often broken, especially when everyone is an elite soldier above the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.
There is also a night running light, which is dazzling! It is also a big killer after use, no worse than lime powder.
In addition, there is a piece of paper and a simple charcoal pen - writing suicide notes! Li Xian implemented the tradition of "writing suicide notes before the war" for the first time. Those who died in the battle will be compensated 20 taels of gold; those who are disabled will be compensated 5 to 15 taels of gold based on the severity of the severity of the disease. Li Xian's standard is almost ten times that of the general standard of the Daxia Kingdom!
Li Xian’s meaning is very clear - follow me and have meat to eat!
Many times, soldiers' loyalty is equated with income, especially in this war-torn environment and amid a crowd of heroes.
After writing the suicide note, it was placed in your close-fitting pocket. In fact, this suicide note could greatly stimulate the soldiers' will to survive. As soon as this method was released, even Xu Ren was praised.
The suicide note contains the rewards promised by Li Xian and the wishes of the soldiers; this makes the soldiers feel much more at ease and makes them work harder. In this way, it will inevitably increase the soldiers' chances of survival - the suicide note in the pocket will always stimulate them to survive.
If you want to fight, you have to prepare a lot of things; Li Xian was not sure. After finishing his work here, he went to the machinery branch. To be precise, it was the new factory area of the machinery branch - locomotive.
A few days ago, the locomotive test was half successful. The infrastructure, parts, etc. were all done, but there was a problem with energy. Li Xian proposed a temporary solution, which is water suspension.
When Li Xian came to the locomotive factory, Liu Bin was yelling happily, and several new tricycles were undergoing testing. The locomotive roof supported several round-bellied buckets with iron racks, and heavy suspended blocks were placed in the buckets; the suspension was fast and the formation was arranged above.
Seeing Li Xian coming, Liu Bin still shouted excitedly: "Young master, it's successful! Using a water suspension device can keep the formation stable. Just wait until the bucket is finally sealed, a motorcycle will be completed!"
