The reason why the competition was scheduled for ten days was because Luo Ningxin gave Fang Chen time to prepare.
The school competition is different from fighting alone, it is leading the army to fight.
Fang Chen must learn to lead troops to practice simulations, and only after he is qualified in all aspects can he go on the battlefield!
After retreating from the court, Luo Ningxin called out Fang Chen and discussed it in a side hall.
Luo Ningxin asked: "What will you win in the school competition in ten days? Why did you agree so quickly?"
Fang Chen chuckled and said, "Of course I have a way. Even if three generals besiege me, I'm not afraid. I guarantee that I can defeat them."
Luo Ningxin still couldn't figure it out.
Fang Chen did not tell Luo Ningxin the answer, but only said: "Your Majesty, if I tell you in advance, there will be no surprises. You will know it in ten days."
Fang Chen gave it a pass, and Luo Ningxin didn't ask him any more questions, believing that Fang Chen had a solution.
After Fang Chen returned to Dongchang, the news spread immediately. Everyone in Dongchang knew that Fang Chen was going to compete with the three generals in the school field, and everyone was very worried.
How can a fifth-grade warrior defeat three seventh-grade generals? This is unscientific.
Moreover, in the school competition, he had to rely entirely on his own strength, and it was impossible to use explosives. What did Fang Chen think?
Is it just to delay time?
Fang Chen was full of confidence and only said that everyone should buy firecrackers and prepare a celebration banquet, and they would return victorious in ten days.
After Fang Chen returned to his room, he began to prepare.
He asked Ye Yu to find Du Hongan.
Yang Zongchang, the commander of the Forbidden Army, said before that Du Hongan used to be a border general. He recovered from his leg injury in Kyoto and then became the commander of the Forbidden Army.
"Uncle Du, I heard that you used to be a very famous general. I came to you this time to discuss the martial arts competition with you."
When Du Hongan learned about this, he was also frightened. He knew that although his master was very talented, the martial arts competition in the school was unusual and the sword had no eyesight.
Sometimes when you encounter some competitive enemies, you may even die under the opponent's sword.
Du Hongan explained: "General martial arts competitions are divided into cavalry and infantry."
"First the infantry battle, then the cavalry battle. It's just like the ordinary military training."
"But this time it is a battle to win the commander. The commander's flag will be arranged on the school grounds. You four people will each lead the infantry. The cavalry will compete for the commander's flag from four directions. Whoever gets it will win."
The Battle for the Commander-in-Chief also simulates a real battlefield, but the number of people fighting is different from the real battlefield.
Fang Chen and Du Hongan talked for a long time, and Du Hongan listed all the details for Fang Chen to study.
For Fang Chen, this was completely a last resort.
Fang Chen took out Sun Tzu's Art of War and said, "Uncle Du, all the planning for the school competition in ten days is left to you."
"I plan to use Imperial Guards for the infantry, and people from the Forbidden Army for the cavalry."
This competition is too important, Fang Chen does not intend to use ordinary soldiers.
Although whether they are infantry or cavalry, they train all year round and are professionals in this area, but Fang Chen needs a master.
Battlefield combat focuses on military formation.
This school competition only requires 200 cavalry and 500 infantry.
Sun Tzu's Art of War does not play much role in the formation of the school field and can only be used as a reference.
The most important thing is the overall combat power. If you can defeat the opponent, you will win. And this time, Fang Chen is facing three long-famous generals. From all aspects, Fang Chen is weak.
Du Hongan studied the formation for a moment and said: "The more masters there are, the higher the hope of victory. Master Fang can mobilize a large number of masters, but the three generals also have a lot of masters."
"One more thing, capture the thief first. Capture the king first. The three generals know that Mr. Fang's cultivation level is not very high. If something happens to Mr. Fang during the school competition, then the group will be leaderless and the defeat will be certain."
From all aspects, the situation is extremely unfavorable to Fang Chen.
But Fang Chen has his secret trump card.
"Uncle Du, I leave it to you to choose the candidates for the competition."
"Choose five hundred infantry from the Jinyi Guards, and then go to the Forbidden Army and borrow two hundred cavalry. Whether you can win this time depends on you, uncle!"
Du Hongan did not expect that Fang Chen would entrust him with such an important task.
He used to be a guilty person, a capital offender, but it was Fang Chen who brought him out and joined the Jin Yiwei.
Du Hongan was extremely grateful to Fang Chen and immediately accepted the order!
After arranging everything, Fang Chen went to a secret processing factory behind the East Factory.
He came to the factory where workers were polishing some special metal materials, selecting qualified products, and then assembling them.
Old man Tianquan is in charge of this place.
The workers here are all former dead soldiers of the Blood Wolf Sect. They obey the orders of the old man Tianquan and are absolutely loyal.
Fang Chen asked, how many finished products have been made now?
Old man Tianquan replied: "Now, more than a thousand have been made. But Mr. Fang, what are these strange metals?"
Fang Chen smiled faintly and said: "This is a weapon that can be shot from a long distance. It is extremely lethal and can be fired more than ten times in a row. In other words, one weapon can kill more than a dozen people, even if it is a seventh-grade weapon.
Even the masters can’t stop it.”
After Fang Chen's explanation, the old man Tianquan was extremely shocked.
"I have also heard of a long-range shooting weapon called a crossbow. However, this weapon is relatively bulky and can only shoot one crossbow arrow at a time."
"Later, some people transformed the powerful crossbow into an ordinary crossbow arrow, but its lethality was greatly weakened. It is not very effective against real masters."
Even so, the power of crossbow arrows is more than five times stronger than ordinary bows and arrows.
The range can reach up to two to three hundred meters, and its penetrating power and lethality are extremely strong.
However, the weapons made by Fang Chen are dozens of times more powerful than crossbows.
Fang Chen held a finished product in his hand.
He took aim at the old man Tianquan in front of him.
Finally all the bullets were loaded inside.
Fang Chen is making firearms!
After Fang Chen created black gunpowder, he reached an agreement with the Xijin Empire, and in the future, weapons would be manufactured and shipped to the Xijin Empire.
After they obtained weapons, they could protect their homes and country and prevent the invasion of the Daqian Dynasty.
A few months ago, after Fang Chen signed an agreement with Hu Yanzhuo, he immediately asked His Majesty to secretly arrange for people from the court to manufacture parts for firearms based on the drawings drawn by Fang Chen.
There are many professional experts in the imperial court.
The Ministry of War also has many blacksmiths who forge weapons and equipment.
Ancient people were very powerful at making weapons.
Ancient weapon forging is divided into drafting, material selection, forging, heat treatment, grinding, bleeding grooves, handles, sheaths, copper equipment, and assembly.
After completing all the processes, the weapon is successfully manufactured.
