Chapter 82 It's just a fake name, I don't care [5000,
After hearing Ning Chen's words, the ancestor of the Zhang family immediately said: "Zhang Chi's understanding of this city wall is far inferior to that of me.
Since the head of Ningyuan wants to visit the city, I naturally want to accompany him personally."
Ning Chen:......
The original purpose was to open more doors for the enthusiastic ancestor of the Zhang family.
But now the Ancestor has personally proposed that he should accompany him for a walk on the city wall.
Absolute refusal at this time will definitely not work.
It would be too disgraceful for the ancestors of the Zhang family, not to mention that Ning Chen didn't go up to the city wall just to see the scenery.
The main reason is that he wants Fang Xiong to check and fill in the gaps for the Zhang family from a professional perspective.
"Then there's Senior Lao." Things have reached this point, and Ning Chen can only bite the bullet and agree.
The ancestor of the Zhang family was walking beside him, Ning Chen stood half a step back, and Fang Xiong stood beside Ning Chen.
Zhang Chi and other senior members of the Zhang family all followed Ning Chen.
"Little friend, this Xincheng of the Zhang family has a history of three thousand years.
So far, my Zhang family has not allowed any evildoer to pass through the Xin City of my Zhang family and enter the land of Kyushu where human race lives."
…
As the ancestor of the Zhang family continued to talk, Ning Chen learned a lot about these semi-saint families in the north.
Not every one of these semi-saint families was driven to the four northern states by the last semi-saint founder of Yunshan Academy.
For example, the Zhang family is not.
The Zhang family came here on their own.
The Zhang family came to the north for two purposes.
Firstly, to protect the human race for the sake of righteousness. Secondly, the Zhang family also came here to find the holy way left by their ancestors.
The place where the half-saint ancestor of the Zhang family finally died in battle was in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
Therefore, the Zhang family believes that it is easier to resonate with the holy path pioneered by their ancestors in the north.
Another point is that Ning Chen also knows.
The reason why these Semi-Saint families were able to defend Luanzhou without losing the second rank.
It's entirely because of the background of these semi-saint families.
Every family that has produced semi-saints has some cultural treasures that have been contaminated by the holy way.
These cultural treasures can directly exert the strength of a second-grade semi-saint in the hands of a third-grade Confucian scholar in the destiny realm.
Although it can't be compared to a real half-saint.
But it is enough for the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
Confucianism is inherently restrained towards monsters.
A great scholar of the third-grade destiny realm can completely compete with the demon king of the second-grade.
If you add the artifacts left behind by the Half-Saint Ancestor, it would be possible to defeat the second-grade Demon King.
So despite looking at these Semi-Saint families, it seems that their overall strength is weaker than that of the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom.
In fact, comparing the two, they are not bad at all.
If the gap was really obvious, the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom would have used Luanzhou as a breakthrough point to rush over.
Just after walking halfway along the city wall, a scout from the Zhang family came back to report the movements of the demon clan.
"Ancestor, head of the family, the demon army that was confronting my Zhang family took the initiative to retreat ninety miles for unknown reasons."
After listening to the scout's words, the ancestor of the Zhang family laughed heartily and said: "The head of Ningyuan really made an extraordinary move. With a few words of holy words, the demon clan immediately retreated."
"This is purely coincidental."
This is something Ning Chen really hasn't thought about.
In fact, except for the sudden increase in culture and talent at the beginning, Ning Chen had expected it.
What happened next was not what Ning Chen expected.
"The leader of Ningyuan is so humble at such a young age.
It seems that the rumors from the outside world are just spread by people who are jealous of others.
I will personally be the head of Ningyuan, you go and clear your name!"
Hearing what the ancestor of the Zhang family wanted to do, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and quickly stopped him and said: "Old senior, please don't worry about rectifying your name.
The younger generation has no thoughts at all about those false reputations.
If the seniors really rectify the reputations of the juniors, the juniors will be burdened by those false reputations in the future.
Once people have selfish motives, it will be difficult to achieve something based on justice.
Therefore, these false names are harmful to the younger generation but not beneficial at all."
After Ning Chen finished speaking, the ancestor of the Zhang family directly reprimanded the younger members of his Zhang family: "Listen, you all listen.
At such a young age, the head of Ning Yuan can break these false reputations.
If you had realized this a long time ago, why have we, the Zhang family, stood still all these years?
What the leader of Ningyuan said today, each of you must keep it in your heart."
"Yes." Zhang Chi and others all bowed and responded.
Ning Chen could only say sorry for Zhang Chi and the others' passive attitude.
Ning Chen didn't want his name to be corrected because he didn't want his reputation to be affected.
"Master Ning Yuan, you must stay in my Zhang family for a few more days. Let the juniors in my Zhang family learn from each other." The ancestor of the Zhang family said to Ning Chen in a particularly warm voice.
"Senior, I'm afraid this junior will find it hard to obey. I am the lord of Baijia City.
I am also responsible for the thousands of people in my hundreds of cities.
Once the Yu Yuan Kingdom's attack is repelled, this junior will return to Baijia City."
This is quite true.
Thousands of people from Baijia City were waiting for him inside the city.
Although he successfully diverted the trouble away, Ning Chen didn't know whether Yu Yuan Kingdom would fight back again.
What's more, there are still tiger tribes threatening us on the other side.
Ning Chen really can't stay here for too long.
The ancestor of the Zhang family couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard Ning Chen say this.
But he can understand it too.
"That being the case, I won't force it."
As soon as the topic changed, the ancestor of the Zhang family continued: "But in the past few days, I still hope that the head of Ningyuan can give some guidance to these underachieving students of my Zhang family."
"This is natural." Ning Chen can agree to this small matter.
After Ning Chen finished greeting his ancestor, the scout who came over to report the situation asked for instructions:
"Ancestor, do we need to continue to monitor closely?"
"Zhang Chi, you can arrange these matters. I will continue to inspect the city wall with the head of Ningyuan." The ancestor of the Zhang family said to Zhang Chi behind him.
"yes."
The ancestor of the Zhang family will not be responsible for specific matters. These specific matters will naturally be arranged by Zhang Chi.
There was no other way, Ning Chen could only continue to bite the bullet and go.
After walking for a while, Ning Chen didn't see all the city walls.
Basically, it was the Zhang family ancestor, a backward student, who kept asking Ning Chen questions.
The depth of the questions asked by the ancestors of the Zhang family is naturally different.
Fortunately, Ning Chen is familiar with "The Analects of Confucius".
When encountering a problem that you are not clear about, you directly copy the Analects. As for the extent to which the ancestor of the Zhang family can understand it, that is the ancestor of the Zhang family himself.
Ning Chen is mainly responsible for cheating.
After walking around this time, the sky has turned slightly white.
The sunrise in the north originally comes later.
Now that the sun is rising in the north, it is probably already bright in other places.
"General Fang, have you finished reading it?" Ning Chen asked Fang Xiong who was accompanying him.
Fang Xiong nodded.
Seeing Fang Xiong nodding, Ning Chen quickly said to the ancestor of the Zhang family: "Senior, General Fang may need to discuss the Zhang family's city defense with the head of the Zhang Chi family. I will not be able to accompany my senior for the time being."
When the ancestor of the Zhang family heard this, his face was filled with regret.
Along the way, the ancestors of the Zhang family have really gained a lot.
Although the ancestor of the Zhang family also heard it, Ning Chen answered many of the questions he asked incorrectly.
But any question that Ning Chen answered really inspired him a lot.
So even if there are a little flaws, it doesn't matter at all.
What's more, even if Ning Chen said something that didn't answer the question, it was still of great value.
It can completely answer some other doubts in the minds of the ancestors of the Zhang family.
Although it was regrettable, the ancestor of the Zhang family also expressed his understanding of this matter.
Besides, Ning Chen is not doing other things now, he is planning for their Zhang family.
"Chief Ningyuan, I will take you down."
In this way, it will be delivered directly to noon.
After making it clear that Zhang Chi must entertain Ning Chen with the highest standards, the ancestor of the Zhang family also returned to his study room to record some of what Ning Chen said.
Without the ancestor of the Zhang family, this underachieving student of the Zhang family is by his side.
Ning Chen also felt a lot more relaxed.
While Fang Xiong was communicating with Zhang Chi about some city defense matters, Ning Chen was very relaxed, drinking tea and eating refreshments.
Zhang Chi and Fang Xiong communicated for about an hour.
Basically, it was Fang Xiong who said it, and he couldn't help but nod his head as he listened.
"Head of Ningyuan." Just when Ning Chen was distracted by boredom, Zhang Chi suddenly came to Ning Chen and called out softly.
Ning Chen came back to his senses and asked: "Master Zhang, do you have something to do with me?"
Zhang Chi nodded and said to Ning Chen: "The head of Ning Yuan, General Fang just now, told me that Xincheng can deploy some of the Italian cannon invented by Ning Yuan.
I would like to ask the leader of Ningyuan, how should I buy this Italian cannon?"
Ning Chen glanced at Fang Xiong and didn't expect that Fang Xiong could also be a salesman.
They all help themselves to promote their own Italian guns.
Of course, Ning Chen also believed that the sales of his Italian cannon would not be a problem at all even without Fang Xiong's recommendation.
"Master Zhang, please wait a moment. I will contact Prince Ang to see if there is any stock there. If so, I will ask Prince Ang to send a batch directly."
Ning Chen really doesn't know if Wu Ang has any inventory.
After all, the first batch of five gates are all in their own Baijia City.
Ning Chen doesn't know much about Wu'ang's production capacity in the future.
I contacted Wu Ang using the sound transmission jade talisman, and Wu Ang said that he happened to have five Italian cannons here.
In addition, Yun Xuanzi and others brought over two hundred rounds of artillery shells.
"Master Zhang, Prince Ang happens to have five Italian cannons, and as for the shells, there are a total of two hundred rounds. He can send them all to you first." After ending the call, Ning Chen said to Zhang Chi.
"That's great. I wonder what the price is?"
In terms of price, Ning Chen still planned to respect Wu Ang's proposal.
"Master Zhang, the price is set by Prince Ang. At present, an Italian cannon costs fifteen thousand taels, but in the future it should be reduced to ten thousand taels.
But it's definitely not possible now, so one door costs fifteen thousand taels.
As for the cannonballs, one thousand taels per round, because the cannonballs have the runes engraved on them, so they are a bit more expensive."
Frankly explain the price system to Zhang Chi. As for the quantity, just let Zhang Chi decide it himself.
Zhang Chi was also very happy: "I want all the five Italian cannons, and I want all the shells."
"In this case, the total is 275,000 taels. I'll give you a zero and I'll charge you 270,000 taels." Ning Chen reported the price to Zhang Chi.
"Thank you, Chief Ningyuan."
"I will contact Wu Ang now and ask Wu Ang to arrange the delivery now. If everything goes well, it should be delivered the day after tomorrow."
Ning Chen said while contacting Wu Ang.
Wu'ang's factory itself is in the north. Although the artillery is very heavy, it is transported using space talismans.
So shipping is very fast and very convenient.
"It's time to work."
Zhang Chi said thank you.
Next, because we have to teach Zhang Chi and the others how to use the Italian cannon, we also have to wait for the situation on Yuyuan's side.
So Ning Chen stayed at Zhang's house for two more days.
In the past few days, the underachieving student of the Zhang family, the ancestor of the Zhang family, would come to bother Ning Chen from time to time.
The key is that after he harassed Ning Chen, he also severely criticized the unpromising juniors of the Zhang family.
I feel that these unpromising juniors are guarding a golden mountain like Ning Chen without realizing it.
It's just that the ancestor of the Zhang family completely ignored one issue.
That is the golden mountain of Ning Chen, which has been occupied by him alone these past few days.
Zhang Chi and the others do have questions they want to ask, but they don't dare to give him the advantage of the ancestor, right?
Wu Ang's speed is not that slow.
Two days later, someone delivered the items.
There are six space talismans in total.
After handing the items to Ning Chen, Zhang Chi also handed over the banknote to the delivery person.
More than two hundred thousand taels is nothing to the Zhang family, which has been inherited for thousands of years and has a city's wealth.
Following the advice given by Fang Xiong, Ning Chen completed his assumptions about the Italian artillery.
He also began to explain the principles of the Italian cannon to Zhang Chi and others, as well as some issues on how to calculate the impact point of the Italian cannon.
It is much smoother to talk about these things with educated people.
Regardless of Zhang Chi, they are all theoretically considered liberal arts students.
But after all, wisdom lies here.
There are many things that Ning Chen only needs to say once for Zhang Chi and the others to understand.
The entire process and communication was extremely smooth.
In less than half an hour, Zhang Chi and the others had basically mastered some of the techniques for using Italian cannons.
The next step is to continue to polish their skills during actual combat.
And Ning Chen didn't wait too long for this opportunity for actual combat.
The demon army that had retreated before quickly returned.
They didn't know what happened to the Zhang family before, so for the sake of safety, they retreated tactically.
But retreating does not mean giving up.
Not to mention that they all came with orders and missions.
Let’s talk about the food problem. If we can’t get enough food this month.
Then in winter, the war will be even more fierce.
More people will die by then.
Not only did they die in battle, but they also died of starvation.
So we still have to fight.
Standing on the city wall, I saw the army of monsters gathering in the distance.
After confirming their position, the Confucian scholar of the Zhang family also began to adjust the angle according to Ning Chen's instructions.
After the angle was determined, the first round of shelling officially began.
A cannonball drew a beautiful arc in the air.
However, the angle of the cannonball was still slightly off, and it did not fall into the camp of the demon army, but landed more than a hundred meters away from the camp.
Being able to achieve such accuracy with the first shot is actually very good.
At this time, the advantages of Confucianism are revealed.
After a quick adjustment, the second shot directly hit the camp group of the demon army.
The shells exploded violently in the camp.
Several demon soldiers who heard the first shot and came out to check the situation were blown to pieces by the shells.
Although the distance was about twelve miles, Zhang Chi and other Zhang family elders could still clearly see what was happening in the demon clan's camp.
They were surprised that Italian artillery could shoot so far.
Seeing the power of Italian artillery again, Zhang Chi and the others were really shocked.
With such a sharp weapon in the north, it will be really easy to deal with the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom in the future, and their casualties will be greatly reduced.
At such a long distance, even if I relax myself, I can barely hit it.
But Italian artillery can be operated directly by even a few ordinary people.
Although in terms of power, it cannot be compared with myself, the peak of the fourth grade.
But it is completely enough to deal with the monster soldiers.
After the Zhang family's artillery determined the angle and position, the next step was to fire five cannons.
A full hundred rounds of artillery shells were bombarded from various distances and heights.
One hundred rounds of artillery shells hit different places in the demon clan's camp.
After the second round of bombardment, the demon clan's camp was completely in a panic.
Being attacked from such a long distance, it would be difficult for them not to panic.
The third-level demon clan in the camp immediately took action.
But the ancestors from Xincheng responded equally forcefully.
The ancestor of the Zhang family, who can live another sixty years, is very active now.
Facing this ordinary third-grade demon clan, the ancestor of the Zhang family did not hesitate at all with his awe-inspiring righteousness.
Not only did he gain an extra sixty years of life out of thin air, he also found the holy way of the Zhang family.
Even if it was to attack the second-grade Yasheng, he felt that he might be able to give it a try.
The third-grade demon was restrained by the ancestor of the Zhang family, and the demon army below had no choice but to be passively bombarded and flee for their lives.
After a hundred rounds of artillery shells, the Zhang family took the initiative to cease operations.
To be honest, this shell is a bit expensive.
One thousand taels per shot, one hundred shots equals one hundred thousand taels.
Although the Zhang family has a profound background, if they fire uncontrollably.
Even if the Zhang family has a profound background, they can't resist such tossing.
Another point is that there are really not many artillery shells now, and a hundred rounds have to be kept, waiting for the next attack.
"Master, according to our statistics, this time there was a shelling.
We killed and wounded more than 700 demon soldiers in total.
Two monster clan warehouses were concentrated by artillery shells and caught fire. A rough estimate..."
Zhang Chi listened to the Confucian scholar responsible for observation from the Zhang family reporting on the achievements.
The joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
To know all these achievements, the price paid by the Zhang family was zero deaths.
