But Zhang Ning did not mind.
After all, Zhang Ning had been gone for nearly twenty years.
Twenty years of loneliness was not something that could be easily erased.
"Alright, alright, let's go in and talk."
Seeing that Zhang Ning was a little uneasy, Bai Feng immediately tried to smooth things over.
Soon, they arrived at the Western Liang Protectorate.
Bai Feng said gravely, "This tactic is simple.
"The strategy this time is very simple. Zhang Ning will lure the Qiang people out and we will kill them one by one."
"Yue Ji is very cunning. If Zhang Ning doesn't appear, it will be difficult to deal with them.
"But there's one thing. Once most of the cavalry is mobilized, I'll leave the rest to you, Meng Qi."
Ma Chao smiled faintly.
"Sir, please give me your orders. Meng Qi will do anything for you!"
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"It's actually very simple. Take Qin Liangyu, Sun Shangxiang, and five hundred archers who are skilled in archery and sneak into the Qiang tribe.
"Then, use fire arrows to shoot at their supplies."
Ma Chao was taken aback.
"This …"
"Sir, forgive me for being blunt, but I'm afraid that this might not be possible.
"According to our investigation, these supplies are more than three hundred paces away from the border.
"Beuyo told me that our best bows and arrows can only shoot three hundred paces at most.
"And we can't possibly get so close to the Qiang camp, so …"
Ma Chao's words were very realistic.
This was indeed the most difficult thing to deal with.
The maximum range of an archer was only two hundred paces.
Combined with the new bows and arrows that Bai Feng had developed, they could only reach three hundred paces.
Three hundred paces was already very good.
If he wanted to improve further, it was simply impossible.
But three hundred paces was not enough to get close to where Yue Ji's supplies were stored.
This was something that Ma Chao had been racking his brains on recently.
They couldn't really send a few people to carry out a suicide attack, right?
But even so, he might not succeed!
The Qiang people were not fools. How could they not pay attention to suspicious people?
Moreover, a person's strength was still limited. It was not like a rocket that could be shot continuously, and it was difficult to extinguish.
However, if one or a few people threw their torches over, the Qiang soldiers would be able to extinguish the fire in a short time.
If that was the case, then all their previous efforts would be wasted.
Therefore, these supplies became the most troublesome part.
However, Bai Feng smiled indifferently.
"Don't worry about the bow. I've already thought of a way."
After saying that, Bai Feng ordered his soldiers to quickly bring out the bow and arrows that Bai Feng had forged earlier.
Bai Feng picked up the bow, pulled the bowstring, and said,
"The bowstring and the body of the bow are made of the latest materials."
"Its range can reach up to 400 steps."
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Ma Chao was dumbfounded.
"Four hundred steps?!"
"How is this possible?!"
It was not that Ma Chao did not believe it, but it was simply too unbelievable!
Reaching a range of about two hundred paces was already the maximum he could do.
Even peerless archery geniuses like Huang Zhong and Qin Liangyu could not reach this standard!
The only way to improve it was through the materials.
However, the bow and arrow that could shoot three hundred paces was already made of the best bamboo.
However, this was far from enough.
But Bai Feng was actually able to take out a breakthrough!
Did this kind of material really exist?
Bai Feng smiled indifferently.
"We can test this out."
"Because it's a new material, it might be different from the previous bows."
"Just as well. We can let the archers test it out."
"As for Qin Liangyu and Sun Shangxiang, they've already practiced."
"Alright."
"When Qin Liangyu was at his peak, he was able to shoot 450 steps."
Upon hearing this, Ma Chao immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"As expected of Sir!"
"I understand.
I'll immediately inform all the soldiers to step up their training! "
Bai Feng nodded.
"Remember, you can only bring 500 soldiers at most, because I only have 500 sets of temporary bows and arrows."
"If you bring too many, it'll be easy to expose the target, and there won't be enough bows and arrows."
"Also, you must choose the most experienced archers!"
"With this new material, it'll be a big problem for ordinary soldiers to even draw a bow."
Bai Feng had also experimented on this point.
Yang Fan, who had never drawn a bow before, had tried it once. Now, his martial strength had reached as high as 96.
He had already reached the standard of a first-class general.
But it was still far from enough.
Yang Fan could not draw the bowstring at all.
This had little to do with martial strength, but it required seasoned archery skills.
Bai Feng was an exception.
After all, although Bai Feng did not have any archery skills, his martial strength was too high.
Even if there were two or three more bows, it would not be a problem for him to draw the bowstring at the same time.
Ma Chao did not say anything and hurriedly went to choose soldiers.
When Zhang Ning saw that everyone had left, she slowly said,
"What do you need me to do?"
Bai Feng shrugged.
"Don't be anxious."
"Training the soldiers, deploying them, and attracting the attention of the Qiang people will all take some time."
"I estimate that it will take about half a month."
"You'll know what to do in half a month."
"Let's stay in Western Liang City for the time being."
"Speaking of which, has it been a long time since you've interacted with the people of the Central Plains?"
When she heard Bai Feng's casual question, Zhang Ning's expression instantly froze.
"Yes …"
In truth, it was not that Zhang Ning did not want to admit it, but that she really had no choice.
This was her personality.
Bai Feng said calmly, "Coincidentally.
Now is the time for you to reintegrate. "
"The current Western Liang is very different from before. It can be said that the entire north is about the same as Western Liang, extremely prosperous."
"This is also the best time to interact with people."
"You can't always be alone. You'll have to interact with people eventually."
"Perhaps this is the reason why your Taiping Technique has stagnated."
Hearing this, Zhang Ning first nodded weakly, then looked at Bai Feng in shock.
"How did you know that my Taiping Technique has reached a bottleneck?"
Bai Feng shrugged.
"That's easy to guess. Not only have you reached a bottleneck, but you've probably been at it for a long time, right?"
"According to Zuo Ci, the Taiping Technique is divided into ten levels. If I'm not wrong, you're now at the seventh level."
"And Zhang Qing is at the peak of the eighth level."
