Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 288: Equipment

“Tsk, the shot went astray.”

“Sure enough, you still don’t have the skills…”

Although Ye Shuo had never thought of killing Lan Feng with just this, he couldn’t hide his disappointment when he saw Lan Feng continuing to be active on the battlefield.

It turns out that there is no such good thing in this world. Even if there is, it will not be my turn. Expecting justice from heaven to kill the enemy is indeed something that only happens in myths. It is too unrealistic.

Prince Ding on the side opened his eyes wide, looking like he wanted to curse but didn’t dare to.

That shocking arrow just now almost frightened Prince Ding to death. If Lan Feng hadn’t reacted quickly and escaped quickly, that arrow would have almost shot him through.

Seeing the shield shattered into several pieces in an instant, even Prince Ding couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingling. He could imagine how Lan Feng felt at the moment.

Prince Ding had never expected that his brother would have such ability.

“When did you learn archery?” Prince Ding didn’t remember him being good at it. If he was really good at it, how could he not show it off given his father’s temperament? Especially when he was so bad at studying.

Although he went to the battlefield, Ye Shuo basically stayed in the rear. His current status meant that he could not take risks easily.

Ye Shuo also knew his own limitations and didn’t intend to cause trouble for others, so he was still free at the moment.

Ye Shuo casually replied: “Didn’t I often go out hunting before?”

Hunting, hunting, how can you hunt without good aim? The deer and hares in the mountains are all very cunning, how can you succeed without some skills?

Upon hearing this, Prince Ding almost blurted out, “You are talking bullshit!”

He had only gone hunting a few times and he had already mastered it. Could he be some kind of genius?

However, before Prince Ding could speak, Lan Feng noticed that something was wrong on the field. For some reason, his soldiers, who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, were now like being stuck in a quagmire. Every step forward was extremely difficult.

The most important thing is that Lan Feng clearly saw that with every swing of the sword, the number of soldiers on their side wearing clothes made of animal fur who fell was much greater than that of the Great Zhou.

This kind of thing had never happened before. Each of their Beiting people was worth three at a time. The people of Da Zhou were weak and were no match for them in a one-on-one fight. Even if their numbers were twice as many, Da Zhou would hardly be a match for them.

The Great Zhou’s impression of Beiting’s ferocity and its fear of Beiting probably originated from this.

But this time it was clearly different.

Because of the previous incident in which the Great Zhou stole their Beiting border defence map, Lan Feng subconsciously thought that the formation they were training had also been discovered by the Great Zhou.

The people of Da Zhou are so insidious!

Lan Feng responded quickly to this.

“Look, the formation in Beiting has changed!” On the other side, someone beside Ye Shuo shouted, and when he looked closely, it was true.

On the battlefield, Beiting’s soldiers began to move quickly. Cheng Yi and Xia Ying were sweating profusely, especially Xia Ying, who subconsciously picked up the paper and pen and prepared to start writing. ?ã???Ë?

“The leftmost are 2,128 people, and the next are 3,642 people…”

“The calculation results are…”

Beiting’s speed was too fast this time, and Cheng Yi and Xia Ying might not be able to make it in time alone, so Ye Shuo simply reported all the calculation results.

With this string of numbers, Xia Ying went to find General Fang, who was in charge of the command, without hesitation.

This time, General Fang shouted at the flag waving high up in the air, “Change the formation quickly! Change the formation quickly!”

The advantage of the Lanchester equation is that no matter how the opponent’s lineup changes, as long as they have enough people and their combat effectiveness is not damaged, they can suppress the opponent.

But not everyone can do this job. First of all, you need to know the number of people in the enemy lineup after the change. Only a very few people can do this. Ye Shuo happens to be someone who has this ability.

Prince Ding imitated his brother and scanned the battlefield wildly with his eyes, but apart from his eyes being sore from looking, he could not see anything, let alone count how many people were on the opposite side.

So the question is, how did he count them?

As soon as Prince Ding had this question, Lan Feng quickly took action.

Lan Feng’s wolf-like eyes stared straight at Ye Shuo.

No matter how the lineup changes, as long as the emperor on the opposite side is captured, everything in the Great Zhou will collapse.

“Tikang, take the men and follow me!”

Lan Feng made quite a noise, and soon the people of Da Zhou noticed it.

After all, they were old rivals for many years. General Fang understood the other party’s intentions in an instant, and his heart was lifted up: “Protect the emperor!”

Seeing that Lan Feng’s target was him, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

“Someone, bring me arrows.”

If it doesn’t work once, then shoot a few more times, just in case it works?

Almost the moment the words fell, Ye Shuo had an arrow as thick as a finger in his hand.

Prince Ding was stunned by the sight. He thought that the arrow he had just shot had exhausted all his strength…

Prince Ding thought that his brother had shot the arrow just now with gritted teeth in order to boost morale, and that the thought of him having some spare strength was just an illusion. But now it seems that it is not the case.

When the arrow was aimed at him again, Lan Feng couldn’t control himself and his eyelids twitched wildly. In his heart, he couldn’t help but comfort himself, it’s okay, it’s okay, he’s just one person, how much ability can he have?

However, what Lan Feng never expected was that this was not just one arrow, but arrow after arrow.

A teeth-grinding sound of breaking through the air was heard. Lan Feng, who had been prepared, naturally could not be hit by him so easily, although he was extremely embarrassed when dodging.??

As for the people around Lan Feng, they were not so lucky. The arrows shot from the seven-stone bow were fast and powerful. Ye Shuo shot a total of seven arrows, which dispersed the team led by Lan Feng, a team of nearly two thousand people.

When the arrows came, everyone subconsciously tried to dodge. When they dodged, they would inevitably leave a gap. Once the arrow passed, it would be difficult for them to get closer to fill the gap.

Of the six guards around Tikang, only three were left in an instant.

When Tikang, the big pawnbroker, was shot by an arrow, Lan Feng calmed down and finally gave up.

“Retreat! Retreat quickly!”

Beiting’s horn sounded, and in a short while, the Beiting soldiers who had been so aggressive before retreated like the tide.

General Fang and General Xu were unable to come back to their senses for a long time. Soon, they were awakened by deafening cheers.

“God bless the Great Zhou, long live our emperor!”

General Fang and General Xu suppressed their enthusiasm and knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty is mighty and mighty! Long live the Emperor!”

This is what morale is. From very little at the beginning, it expands rapidly little by little like a snowball.

Looking at the Beiting people who had thrown away their weapons and armour, for the first time in their lives, the soldiers of the Great Zhou felt that Beiting, which was like a mountain pressing on their hearts, seemed…nothing more than that.

Whether it is an ancient battlefield or a modern battlefield, it is like a meat grinder. No matter how much laughter there is, it cannot cover up the corpses on the ground.

Many people from Beiting died. Although fewer people died in the Great Zhou, that was only relative. And there was no way to resurrect the dead.

The conflicts between Da Zhou and Beiting, Da Zhou and Chen, and Chen and Beiting seemed to have become a normal situation. So many people died that everyone had become numb. But Ye Shuo was thinking that it would be great if this dispute could be ended one day. In that case, there wouldn’t be so many deaths every other day.

At the beginning, Ye Shuo couldn’t help shaking his hands when he picked up the knife to kill the two Beiting envoys, but now he can draw the bow and arrow and shoot candied haws. Even he is constantly changing.

It seems that nothing in this world remains constant.

Now that spring has not yet arrived, the weather is still chilly. The sandstorms at the border are already strong, and it is even colder at night. Even in this month, many people will still freeze to death. But once the fur coats of the Beiting people are taken off, perhaps the situation will be much better.

Then there are the weapons.

Zou Wu, who worked in the Ministry of Industry, did successfully smelt steel, but that amount of steel was far from enough. It was no problem to equip a few elite teams like the Inspectorate, but a team of tens of thousands of people like this was far from enough.

However, crudely made swords were just consumables on the battlefield. They would become blunt after killing two people and would be unusable in the next battle. The Great Zhou was not used to Beiting’s scimitars, so in every conflict with Beiting, the court’s supplies were particularly critical.

Counting the days, the Ministry of War should be here by now.

In Prince Ding’s current situation, it is impossible for him to claim to know everything. Besides, the Ministry of War is now headed by Ye Shuo’s eldest cousin, so Prince Ding has no way of knowing the news.

So it was not until now that Prince Ding found out that his younger brother had transported most of the court’s weapons inventory to General Xu.

Prince Ding was stunned for a moment.

“This… you have transported all the weapons to the border of Chen State, what can we use here?” Are we really going to fight the Beiting people with bare hands? We will be beaten to vomit blood.

Regarding this, Ye Shuo had already made other arrangements.

“When I came here, I heard that there was an unknown group stationed at the border, often harassing Beiting. That group of people are well-equipped and can be reused. If we drive them away and seize their weapons, then we don’t have to worry about weapons, right?”

The moment the words fell, not to mention Prince Ding, even General Fang and General Xu, who were in an excited state, broke out in cold sweat.

“Your Majesty, you must not do this!”

Rather than fighting against that group of people, they would rather fight Beiting. If they fight against Beiting, they might be able to fight back and forth, with the chance of winning or losing only being 40% to 60%. But if it were that group of locusts, the chance would be 20% to 80%.

Prince Ding just thought that his brother was a hidden talent, but now he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to him, and beg him to stop scaring people.

Prince Ding felt that his brother might have tasted the sweetness of victory over Beiting and became inflated.

But that group of locusts is nothing like Beiting!

However, what Ye Shuo decided, how could Prince Ding stop it?

When it was night, Prince Ding heard that Ye Shuo had left the tent with 800 people, and he almost jumped out of bed, but it was too late for him to stop him.

Finished…

My younger brother is finally going to kill himself.

“Why are you still standing there? Go and follow him!”

Prince Ding didn’t even bother to put on his clothes. He rushed out with a cane, then turned over and mounted his horse.

However, before they could walk out of the area of ??ten miles, he saw the figure of his brother returning.

Fortunately, fortunately, the person is still alive.

Prince Ding initially thought that he must have given up, but when he took a closer look, he found something wrong.

Wait, what are they holding in their hands?

Just as Prince Ding was stunned, Ye Shuo reined in his horse, and then the eight hundred soldiers behind him followed suit, with all kinds of weapons falling to the ground.
