Chapter 304: Special Forces Members
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
As he looked at the vast and mighty Liao army outside the town, Liu Hong was a little worried.
If the Liao army did not attack the town, they were probably waiting for more reinforcements.
If they left the Liao army alone, they would only face more enemies in the future. Hence, Colonel Qin’s decision was not wrong.
However, there were only 30 people in the Special Forces Team. Even with the four people that Colonel Qin brought, there were only 34 people in total.
Would it really work if they just charged out rashly?
“Yes, Colonel!” But he still acknowledged the order.
Firstly, Colonel Qin was his superior and he had to follow her orders. Secondly, he did not have any better suggestions.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao descend from the town gate tower.
“How’s the preparation of the things 1 asked for?” she asked as she walked.
Liu Hong glanced at Qin Xiaoyao and quickly cupped his hands. “The army is short on ironware and there is a shortage of craftsmen. The progress is not ideal.
“An hour ago, 1 came to report that the 35 tri-daggers you wanted have been completed. But for the arm crossbow, they have only made fifty crossbow bolts. As for the bow, they haven’t made it yet.”
He had seen the drawings given by Colonel Qin and found that the tri-dagger she wanted was similar to a dagger, but its structure was slightly more complicated.
After the craftsmen adjusted the mold, it was not difficult to make it.
However, the structure of an arm crossbow was too complicated. He had looked at it carefully a few times but still couldn’t figure it out.
The situation on the craftsmen’s side was better, but the finished products they made could not meet Colonel Qin’s requirements.
Qin Xiaoyao frowned.
“Tell them to make the best use of their time and make more crossbow bolts. In addition, they must also hurry up in the production of the arm crossbow.”
“Forget it. Take me there to take a look,” Qin Xiaoyao replied quickly.
If the crossbow had not been made, it was most likely because the craftsmen did not understand the drawing she gave them.
She only found out about such a critical matter now.
“Yes, Colonel!” Liu Hong answered.
Then, he brought Qin Xiaoyao to the workshop.
When she arrived, Qin Xiaoyao first checked the tri-daggers and crossbow bolts that the craftsmen had rushed out.
She realized that although the quality of the tri-daggers was a little different from what she had expected, it was still much better than a dagger.
As for the crossbow bolts, it was just as she had expected and they matched her requirements.
“Where are the craftsmen in charge of making the arm crossbows? Get them to bring the drawing over,” Qin Xiaoyao said quickly after checking the tri-daggers and crossbow bolts.
“I’ve already sent someone to summon them. They will be here soon,” Liu Hong replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside.
Liu Hong went out and quickly brought in four craftsmen.
After learning that these four people were the ones in charge of making the arm crossbows, Qin Xiaoyao asked about their progress.
Then, Qin Xiaoyao saw several abandoned versions of the crossbows that the four of them had made.
After some testing, Qin Xiaoyao realized that these versions of the crossbow did have different levels of problems.
When she completed the testing, Qin Xiaoyao pointed out roughly the problems for the craftsmen.
Then, she asked the craftsmen to spread out the drawings she had given them before and explained the structure of the arm crossbow to them.
The craftsmen listened attentively. When they encountered something they didn’t understand, they would immediately ask Qin Xiaoyao for clarification.
After hearing Qin Xiaoyao’s explanation, a sudden look of realization swept across all the craftsmen’s faces. The way they looked at Qin Xiaoyao was also filled with admiration.
“After you guys go back, 1’11 have to trouble everyone to speed up to make the arm crossbows. You have to complete 35 crossbows before noon tomorrow,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
“If you encounter any more problems, you can come to me directly.”
Even if the Liao army outside the town could be dealt with, there would definitely be more Liao soldiers coming.
She had no way to improve the combat ability of all the soldiers in the town, but she could focus on arming the Special Forces Team.
A Liao-style saber, a tri-dagger, and an arm crossbow, coupled with the corresponding training.
Her Special Forces Team members might not be able to fight one against a hundred, but they could at least fight against twenty.
One should not underestimate such a team just because it had very few members. If deployed well, it could exert an extremely formidable effect. At the crucial moment, they could deal a heavy blow to the enemy.
“Yes, Sir!” The craftsmen quickly answered. Their voices were clearly filled with great excitement.
They were very interested in the arm crossbow, to begin with, but they couldn’t make it because they didn’t fully understand the drawing.
Now, they had already gotten the answers to the questions they had. Naturally, they wanted to create this special weapon as soon as possible.
After the craftsmen left, Qin Xiaoyao looked back at the tri-daggers that had been forged.
She picked one and kept it. Then, she said to Liu Hong, “Get someone to bring these things and follow me to the drill ground.”
It was time to meet her team members.
“Yes, Colonel!” Liu Hong answered.
At the drill ground, after Qin Xiaoyao arrived, Huang Fei gathered all the Special Forces Team members.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t waste any time and immediately gave them an update about the situation outside the town.
“The Liao army hasn’t attacked the town yet, but the more they delay, the more dangerous the situation will be for Yellow Flower Town later on.
“So, we can’t just sit around and wait for death. We have to strike first.
“If nothing unexpected happens, we will take action tonight.”
As soon as she said that, the Special Forces Team members became very excited.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t say anything more. Instead, she looked at Liu Hong.
Liu Hong immediately distributed the tri-daggers personally.
“This is a tri-dagger, an improved version of a dagger. It can spill blood faster, and the damage dealt is more serious. At the same time, the possibility of saving a person who gets stabbed by this is also lower.” Qin Xiaoyao gave an introduction.
“The workshop has made a total of 35 tri-daggers. In addition to myself, only you guys in the whole army will be given one.
“I will personally teach you how to use the tri-daggers later.
“You guys have to learn well. At the critical moment, the tri-daggers can be your last resort to win.”
“Yes, Colonel!” the Special Forces Team members immediately responded. Their eyes were gleaming brightly.
After half a day of brainwashing by Huang Fei and the rest, the members of the Special Forces Team already regarded Qin Xiaoyao as a God.
Now, the God they worshiped had given them special weapons and was going to teach them how to use them personally. How could they not be excited?
Qin Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction.
After the tri-daggers were distributed, the crowd was separated.
Following that, Qin Xiaoyao began to explain in detail the tri-dagger’s structure and principles, as well as the reason it was more lethal than a dagger.
Not only were the Special Forces Team members surprised and impressed, but even Liu Hong was also in awe.
He looked at the tri-dagger in Qin Xiaoyao’s hand with envy.
It was such a good weapon, but it was a pity that there were only 35 of them in the entire army.
When the workshop had more free time, he must definitely get them to make more.
At the very least, he had to allocate some to the Colonel and the other higher-ranked military officers like him.
After explaining the principles, Qin Xiaoyao began to teach her team members the close-range combat techniques using the tri-daggers.
Qin Xiaoyao was as fierce and agile as a leopard. With the tri-dagger in her hand, she attacked swiftly and ruthlessly.
Even though there was no enemy in front of her, everyone could imagine that if an enemy existed, he would be stabbed or killed in just one or two moves.
The members of the Special Forces Team watched her demonstration with immense admiration. One by one, they even rubbed their hands eagerly and couldn’t resist mimicking her.
As he stood next to them, Liu Hong’s eyes widened as well, and he wished vehemently that he could practice it himself..
