Chapter 409 Luxurious War Equipment

Everyone present knew in their hearts that these words were just nice talk for the sake of appearance.

Everyone is thinking about his own little plans, who would sincerely work for the Taiping Sect?

"Unity is important, but I wonder which general is willing to take on the important task of leading the way and opening the door to victory for our army?"

Qiao Shefei smiled slightly and continued.

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into silence.

The generals looked at each other in bewilderment. Being in the vanguard position meant bearing the brunt of the attack and was extremely risky, so no one was willing to take the risk easily.

"The role of the vanguard can only be filled by brave and skilled fighters."

"I think General Qiao is the best candidate."

A hint of deep meaning flashed in the eyes of the general in gorgeous armor. He looked around and said slowly.

"Thank you for your kindness, General. However, my troops are new and need some time to train."

"It is the general's elite troops who are more suitable for this task."

Qiao Shefei cursed in his heart but remained calm and smiled.

As soon as this was said, all the generals echoed it and wanted to nominate others to serve as the vanguard to avoid harm themselves.

"The vanguard position should be held by the strongest troops."

"I think it would be better for the generals to discuss and select the most suitable troops."

Another general snorted.

Qiao Shefei sneered in his heart. These generals all wanted to preserve their strength and no one wanted to be the first to take action.

"Since all the generals have concerns, I think it would be better if we each sent out some of our troops to form the vanguard of the coalition and jointly resist the enemy."

"This way we can unite our forces and disperse the risks. What do you think?"

Glancing at the people in front of him, Qiao Shefei took the opportunity to make a suggestion.

Upon hearing this, all the generals nodded in agreement.

They know that this is the best option to balance the interests of all parties.

Everyone knew that the conflicts and disputes within the Taiping Sect had not been resolved, but had merely been temporarily covered up.

As the meeting ended, the generals returned to their tents to prepare for the next battle.

The meeting was dull and everyone was just going through the motions.

Although they were sitting under the same roof, they were like strangers, and the distance between them seemed to be separated by an invisible chasm.

Although the camp was filled with elite troops, it was difficult to conceal the conflicts and disputes within the Taiping Sect.

These behind-the-scenes masters are scheming against each other for their own interests and there is no trust between them at all.

Although they temporarily joined forces, they were full of suspicion and vigilance in their hearts.

Qiao Shefei also took the opportunity to convey the meeting situation and his own plans to Meng Zhang in the rear.

This battle was not only an external war, but also a major reshuffle of the internal forces of the Taiping Sect.

As night fell, the camp was brightly lit.

However, this light could not dispel the darkness within the Taiping Sect.

Everyone is secretly watching each other's every move, fearing that they will be plotted against by the other party.

This atmosphere made the entire camp shrouded in a depressing and tense atmosphere.

Although these behind-the-scenes masterminds each control elite troops, they find it difficult to form a strong combined force.

The intrigues and distrust among them have become a major cancer of the Taiping Sect, seriously weakening its overall combat effectiveness.

It can be said that before this battle even started, the Taiping Cult had already been defeated. At dawn the next day, the morning glow illuminated half the sky, and Qiao Shefei was ready to go, accompanied by his capable subordinates - the Purple Nether Team.

The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion lined up in neat rows, their armor flashing coldly in the sun, like a giant dragon winding across the earth.

Not far away, the coalition forces of the Taiping Sect and the elite of the Yellow Turban Army also gathered one after another.

Flags were flying, people were talking, and war horses were neighing, creating a busy scene of preparations for war.

Qiao Shefei looked at the huge team with sharp eyes, and a feeling of horror surged in his heart.

I didn't notice it before, but I didn't expect these dead bones in the tomb to be holding it in.

There are so many good things in my pocket!
Qiao Shefei's eyes moved over these coalition forces, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

He saw all kinds of war machines, which were all weapons carefully crafted by Mohist craftsmen.

Some soldiers were armed with "Lianyun Crossbows", which could fire arrows continuously. The arrows poured out like a rainstorm, making it impossible to defend against them.

There were also soldiers equipped with the "Thousand-mile Bow". The huge bow body and strong bowstring seemed to be able to shoot through the clouds and reach the sky.

Every arrow shot out carries a force as powerful as thunder and is terrifying.

In addition to these, Qiao Shefei even saw more sophisticated small devices on some generals' personal guards.

The guards had "Thousand Machine Boxes" hanging around their waists. These were mysterious boxes that could fire all kinds of hidden weapons, making them hard to guard against.

In addition to these, there are many large-scale machines, such as the "Pogang Crossbow" carefully made by the Mohists.

The crossbow arrows fired from this crossbow cart can penetrate the strongest armor and break the most powerful internal energy.

Each crossbow cart is operated by several strong men. Once fired, it has the force of thunder and lightning, which is daunting.

In addition, there are various wonderful machines, such as the "Thunder Chariot", which is equipped with sharp blades and powerful impact devices, and can rush around on the battlefield and destroy the enemy's battle formation.

"Wind and Cloud Wheel" is a throwing weapon that can throw out a huge flywheel to cut through the enemy's formation.

"Xuantian Shield", the huge shield can not only block enemy arrows, but also reflect sunlight and confuse the enemy's vision.

Looking at Qiao Shefei, he was filled with envy, even though the Qinglong Legion was as elite as any other army.

But high-end equipment like this takes time to accumulate bit by bit.

During this period of time, the Yellow Turban Army captured many cities and territories, and seized quite a few spoils of war.

But there are too many wolves and too little meat, and Meng Zhang has quite a few men under his command now.

It is somewhat biased towards the Qinglong Legion, and only has some common ones like the Pogang Crossbow.

First of all, it is not easy for the Mohist people to make high-end items such as the "Thousand Machine Box" and the "Wind and Cloud Wheel".

The time required is calculated in months, and this is for high-end things like this.

Generally speaking, when the Daqian army retreats, they will definitely be taken away first.

If they really cannot be taken away, they will be forcibly destroyed to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, Meng Zhang, who had little background, had recruited some Mohist craftsmen during this period.

But not to mention the issues of drawings and manufacturing skills, even if these craftsmen can make it.

It’s not a short-term thing either.

Therefore, up to now, Qiao Shefei's subordinates have never used this kind of high-end equipment on a large scale.

Normally, if we seize one or two bodies, they will be treated as treasures.

Unlike these people nowadays, they are almost everywhere.

Qiao Shefei's eyes turned red when he saw this.
