Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1552: Recruiting and Training for the War

Lu took the pill with a puzzled look: "Master, you can also refine pills?"

"Hehe, I am a Taoist master, alchemy is just a minor skill."

"Good, disciple will definitely storm the palace, capture Chu Chen alive, feed him this pill, and then tear him to pieces."

"Haha, good disciple, go train the troops!"

Little did they know, this scene was being witnessed by a soldier standing nearby. That night, while everyone was asleep, the soldier...

He changed into ordinary clothes and went into a brothel next to the military camp.

The next day, a fast horse galloped out of the city and headed straight for the capital.

Meanwhile, in the capital city, on a vast training ground, a group of about a hundred people were staring blankly at the weapons they had just received.

"Gentlemen, this is the Lord of War, the Gun!"

"This weapon can completely defeat all other weapons; it is the king of all weapons in the world."

Dog-Shengzi familiarly cocked his submachine gun, and then, in front of everyone, fired a burst of bullets at the row of earthenware jars filled with water in front of him.

In an instant, water splashed everywhere, and the shattered fragments pierced the soil like sharp swords.

The newly recruited soldiers all looked on with fervent enthusiasm.

He thought to himself that joining the army was worth it. With this weapon in hand, fighting a war would be a piece of cake, and he could easily collect his reward money.

"I know you're probably thinking right now that with this weapon in hand, you'll just be fighting, or maybe having some fun and getting a reward."

"So, today I'll give you a taste of your own medicine."

After saying that, he took out a new magazine, loaded a bullet into it, and waved to an unfamiliar face in front of him, saying, "Come out here."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately picked up his weapon and walked up to Gou Shengzi: "Here, General."

"Okay, I have a bullet in this gun. In a bit, I'll bring over a vicious dog, and you take it out."

"Use this weapon to fight dogs?" The soldier was immediately filled with confidence after hearing this.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

These were all fabricated by Chu Chen for the purpose of making management easier.

They had learned how to march in formation, stand at attention, and so on, but today was the first time they had ever touched a gun.

"Okay, seeing how confident you are, then I'll first teach you how to use it."

After saying that, Gou Shengzi showed him how to unlock the safety and how to fire the weapon.

Seeing how simple it was, the soldier immediately smiled and said, "Reporting to the general, I've learned it!"

"Okay, move forward ten meters. Someone, unleash the dogs."

After the soldier ran about ten meters away, the other side immediately released a vicious dog, which was about thirty meters away from him.

The vicious dog came out and looked around, then immediately set its sights on the two-legged creature in front of it, and roared as it charged forward.

The soldier acted decisively, aiming and firing directly as Gou Shengzi had taught him. After a loud bang, Gou Shengzi only paused for a moment before charging towards the soldier.

"Ah...don't come any closer..."

"General, save me!"

Gou Shengzi remained unmoved; people are naturally afraid of dogs.

Seeing that no one was helping him, the soldier immediately drew the knife from his waist.

However, just as the vicious dog was about to reach him, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet hit it squarely in the head.

The soldier looked at Gou Shengzi in disbelief.

Just now, I was fighting it face to face. The vicious dog came straight at me and I couldn't hit it at all. But the general was attacking from the side. It was a target that was moving laterally, yet I was able to hit it accurately.

Gou Shengzi looked at the surprised soldier and said, "Come here and tell me how you feel."

"Reporting to the general, I... I underestimated the enemy!"

"Good, it's good that you realize you underestimated your enemy. But once you're on the battlefield, you won't be facing vicious dogs, but people who will take your lives."

"You have such powerful weapons, but without accuracy and a good mentality, you will still die in the end."

"So today I'll have the veteran instructors teach you your first lesson: aiming."

After saying that, Gou Shengzi turned and left, leaving the rest to the veterans who had fought in the battle.

Seven days later, Gou Shengzi went to his barracks early in the morning, where a soldier was already waiting for him.

Seeing his anxious look, Gou Shengzi immediately let him into the tent: "Are you the warrior we sent to the north?"

"Reporting to the general, we have important intelligence."

After he finished speaking, he told Gou Shengzi everything he had seen in the north.

Gou Shengzi's brow twitched upon hearing this: "It took you seven days to get back?"

"Reporting to the general, I ran day and night, killing four horses, before finally returning to the capital. It took exactly seven days, no more, no less."

"Seven days is enough. If their army comes, it will take at least a month."

"Alright, take this brother down to rest and reward him according to the rules."

After dismissing everyone, Gou Shengzi immediately mounted his horse and headed straight for the imperial palace in the capital.

This is a serious matter; we must inform Chu Chen.

"Brother Chen, there's movement in the north. That army has amassed 30,000 troops and is preparing to attack the capital. Moreover, they'll probably increase their numbers to 50,000 before they begin their attack."

"According to our analysis, they may be able to launch an attack southward in about six months."

Chu Chen smiled after hearing this: "Six months? That's more than enough. Keep expanding your army. In six months, I'll show them what hell on earth is like."

"Okay, I'll quickly expand the army to 20,000, but Fatty Tiger will have to work harder on the money."

"It's alright, just do it without worry. If you really don't have any money, then we'll attack first. You train your troops and take 10,000 men to wipe them out."

Chu Chen understood deeply that when it comes to war, if the weapons are of equal strength, then the battle is about resources.

If the disparity is not equal, then it is robbery. You must understand that this is not a peaceful time. How can doing business be as quick as robbery?

When I transmigrated here, I used the weapons at my disposal to bombard so many palaces, and the money I robbed was more than I could ever spend.

Give myself another six months to stabilize the entire northern desert region. That will be the time for me to go out and plunder silver. Those officials who fled to the north took away almost half of the wealth of the entire capital.

The north is vast but has low productivity, so almost all the money can't be spent. Therefore, half a year is just right. You can go out and make some money and then come back to expand your power.

Gou Shengzi nodded, but did not go out.

"Anything else?"

"That's right, but don't be angry if I say it."

"Nonsense, we're brothers, why are there so many rules? You're getting more and more coy."

"Brother Chen, Lu You's master gave him a pill and told him to personally... personally feed it to you."

"Holy crap, a pill."
