Mr. Tongzhen Daling is the great monk Lin Lingsu hundreds of years ago, and the great heavenly master is the Duanmu Chongqing of Gesoap Mountain. Zhao Ran had heard Dongfang Li talk about the preciousness of this bag before, but today when he heard Jiang Ruobing add it, he knew how precious it was. I couldn't help but be a little apprehensive about the gift given by Rong Niang, and secretly thought, where did Rong Niang get the meridian tips, it won't come from the wrong way, right? It seems that this thing can't be taken out casually to show off, otherwise the two of them will be pitted together.

After thinking about it, he was a little breathless on the spot, and he talked to Jiang Ruobing, and walked to the side to fly Fu Rongniang: "Inquire about something." Where did you get the Meridian Tip for me? This thing is too valuable, isn't it? Why do I think it's a little hanging?"

Soon received a reply from Feifu: "What year did this happen, did you react? Are you particularly sluggish? Okay, you can be practical, make sure you're okay." ”

Zhao Ran asked again: "I heard that there are only three meridian tips in the world, one is in the Sanqing Pavilion, I know, and where is the other?"

"Why do you ask so much?"

"I heard that this thing was refined by the Great Heavenly Master of Duanmu of Gesoap Mountain, how did Rong Niang get it?"

"You are annoying, do you know, you don't want to give it back to me!"

"Misunderstanding, haha, the main thing is that it's too precious, and I'm very worried. ”

"Okay, I don't want to tell you. ”

Zhao Ran was dumbfounded for a moment, pondering and turning back to inquire. Temporarily put down this knot, Zhao Ran followed Jiang Ruobing into the armory.

Jiang Ruobing pointed to the large wooden boxes neatly stacked: "This is armor, and you are assigned fifty collars of heavy armor and two hundred collars of light armor." ”

Zhao Ran picked out a collar of heavy armor and looked at it, and saw that this heavy armor was made of six-layer cowhide, which was very tough and tightly covered from head to toe. The foreheart, helmet, arms, waist, and ankles are all engraved with strings of runes, each of which has different purposes, and when combined, it has the ability to protect against some low-level mana.

Jiang Ruobing said again: "These runes are all refined by the Master Charm Refining Workshop, and the matching between the armor and the armor can be formed by themselves. ”

Zhao Ran looked at the light armor again, the skin was three-layered, there were no arm guards and leg guards, and there was no face covering on the helmet, and the runes engraved on the armor were simpler.

Zhao Ran was shocked by the attributes that he had always pursued for value, and asked: "How much silver does it cost to be heavy and light?"

Jiang Ruobing was stunned and said: "Last year, the household department allocated 100,000 taels, 1,000 collars for heavy armor and 3,000 collars for light armor, and then sent them to the rune workshop of the General Guanqi Fu Pavilion for refining, and the materials and silver for refining are unknown. ”

Zhao Ran looked at the rune and estimated the materials required for refining, the heavy armor should be sixty or seventy taels per collar, and the light armor was about ten taels, but this did not include the mana and energy invested by the monk - the monk's labor cost could not be measured.

Turning to the other place, there are knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, forks, shields, crossbows, bows, and other blades of battle.

Jiang Ruobing continued to count: "200 spears, 50 heavy shields, 50 sabers, 200 sets of light swords and shields, 50 crossbows, 100 bows, 6,000 arrows, 100 spears, 100 knives, 2......00 horse bows."

"The sergeants are all ordinary soldiers, although these armors are simple, they are all magic weapons and blades, how can they use them?"

"When going into battle, the monk who needs to preside over the battle needs to activate the array talisman, and as soon as the array talisman is activated, all the magic weapons and armor of the whole army will be activated, according to the number of sergeants, there are different levels of enabling the array talisman, such as the Red Plains militia built by the abbot, the mid-level array talisman can be activated, if it is a battle within 100 people, only a low-level array talisman is required. In addition, there are all kinds of magic talismans for the abbot, city guarding magic weapons, etc., including array talismans, but these have to go to the Hongyuan Guardian to find the Oriental Immortal Master who leads the team to get them, I don't have them here. ”

Zhao Ran understood as soon as he heard it, military armor and weapons are the most important weapons of the country, and the Ming army has separate jurisdiction over military armor and formation talismans, which can avoid major losses after being stolen or captured by the enemy.

For example, if there is a rebellion in a certain place, and the rebels seize the armor weapons by surprise, and the formation charms are not activated, these armor weapons are just ordinary goods, and they do not pose a major threat to the officers and soldiers. In the same way, if the city or grain platform was captured by the Western Xia, Tubo, and Northern Yuan on the battlefield, and the opponent did not activate the formation symbol, these armor weapons could not be used by the enemy.

Thinking about it a little deeper, this is an important means for Daomen to control the military power, and if the formation is controlled, the military power will be controlled, and the court will not be able to play any moths.

Zhao Ran took it over and inspected it the same, and saw that these blades were basically engraved with runes, some simple, some complex, and a few of them were equipped with magic weapon attachments - these were used by junior officers and backbone sergeants.

All of these armor tools have been specially refined by the Rune Workshop of the Talisman Pavilion to ensure that ordinary soldiers can use their own functions when they use them.

Zhao Ran asked: "How effective are these armor tools? On the battlefield, can they stop the Dharma?"

Jiang Ruobing replied: "Let's put it this way." One or two heavy-armored sergeants will definitely not be able to defeat the most ordinary Buddhist monks in the monk realm, but five heavy-armored sergeants will form a formation, and the Buddhist monks in the monk realm will have no way to take our heavy armored sergeants. If it is a heavy armored sergeant with a small banner, if it is properly coordinated, it is also possible to deal with the monks of the novice realm, which has been proven by countless battles before. ”

Zhao Ran nodded secretly, it is really not easy to train a strong army that can fight well, and the battle array equipment of an ordinary soldier needs nearly a hundred taels of silver, no wonder with the wealth of the Ming Dynasty and the number of Dingkou, the elite border army is only more than 100,000 people, which is really too wasteful. The Battle of White Horse Mountain, which lasted for eight years, maintained a front-line heavy army of only 70,000 or 80,000 people at its peak, also because the equipment was too expensive for the imperial court to afford.

After the inventory of things was completed, a lot of military rations were loaded, and the baggage of 800 people - according to Jiang Ruobing, it was "incomplete" equipment, and the meridian tips had been stuffed to the brim, and even Zhao Ran's own storage wrench was stuffed, and I don't know how much equipment there would be in the "complete" state.

signed the paperwork, took out three pills of heart nourishing pills and gave them to Jiang Ruobing, and agreed to invite him to visit Dajun Mountain after the battle, so they said goodbye to each other.

After returning to Dajun Mountain, Zhao Ran took out the baggage and distributed it, and the Red Plains militia began formal training. Each weapon has mana, and it has a specific method of forming a formation, which needs to be connected and coordinated with each other. Three or five people have the tactics of three or five people, a hundred people have the tactics of a hundred people, and the tactics of a thousand people are even different.

In other words, the sergeants who can go into battle are experts who use coordination and formation to exert the power of magic weapons.

Suddenly, I remembered that since these officers were good at the battle array, could they have hidden a few good cultivation materials with qualified root bones? So I hurriedly checked them one by one, but unfortunately after reading them, I found that no one had qualified root bones, so I had to give up.

However, after thinking about it, since the combat method in the army is mainly to exert the effect of magic weapons, presumably the sergeants have basically been tested by the monks who help the battle, such as Feng Tang, who entered the camp as a guilty person and was not inspected, there must be very few people.
