Chapter 106 The God who can’t get enough to eat

"When the Lord rode in alone, to be honest... we were all sweating."

Qiu Liming put down the wine bowl in his hand and said to Shen Yuexi with joy.

"Originally we planned to burn the enemy's food and fodder and then retreat, but the enemy's general suddenly appeared. The lord said that we would try to take his head among the thousands of troops, and asked us to stop halfway to prepare for the crossbow attack."

Shen Yuexi was frightened when she heard it, and glared at Xiao Zhuo next to her. The latter was drinking leisurely and just ignored it.

She had been standing on the top of the mountain with military adviser Song Zhen. When she saw the Xirong camp in the distance on fire, she felt uneasy and worried that something might happen to Xiao Zhuo. It was not until the four hundred soldiers returned in triumph with beating gongs and drums that she felt relieved and went down the mountain to greet him.

This time they stole the camp and achieved a complete victory, burning the enemy's food and grass, and no one was injured.

In her eyes, war is full of dangers, and Xiao Zhuo might be injured one day, so she can't just sit idly by. Making a strong set of armor for Xiao Zhuo should be helpful.

With the advanced technology of the universal manufacturing machine, the armor made is absolutely top-notch.

Just as she was thinking about the style of armor, Qiu Liming interrupted her.

"...The enemy troops really rushed out recklessly. We fired our crossbows in unison and shot down the pursuers. Haha, it's so satisfying!"

"That's right, they rushed out in a hurry without even a shield." Meng Yue raised his neck and drank another bowl.

"My lord, this move not only burned the enemy's food and fodder, but also disrupted the enemy's original plan. It really killed two birds with one stone." Song Zhen picked up the wine bowl and said to the generals in the tent, "Everyone has another toast, lord."

Shen Yuexi didn't drink, so she greeted everyone and left the handsome tent on her own.

The camp on the top of the mountain was full of joy, even though it was already the third watch, and the sergeants were all talking in front of the campfire.

The fire in the Xirong camp in the north is still going on. Before the problem of food and grass is solved, the Xirong people will have no time to sneak attack on them.

"Ms. Pei, look at how miserable the Xirong people are." Yang Cong appeared out of nowhere, stood next to her, and happily pointed at the firelight in the north. "It's a pity that the young master won't let me follow him."

Yang Cong has joined the army, but Xiao Zhuo does not allow her to participate in the war.

Shen Yuexi smiled and asked, "You didn't go to bed?"

"How can I sleep with such a big movement? I have been very excited these past two days, so I only need one or two hours of sleep every day."

Shen Yuexi knew that Yang Cong suffered from insomnia due to being too nervous. It was natural for civilians like them, who had never participated in a war, to be unable to sleep in the face of a powerful enemy. I am afraid that the same was true for the villagers in Xiaogang Village.

From what she knew about the history of ancient wars, armies were everywhere, and most people would leave their homes and flee to places where there was no war.

This time Xiaogang Village is different. The people inexplicably believe in Xiao Zhuo, almost to the point of blind worship. Even if everyone knows that he is 500 to 10,000, no one escapes, but more people come to Xiaogang Village. Gangcun.

Everyone continuously provided food, drinks, and supplies to the army. This was the source of Xiao Zhuo's army's strong fighting spirit. The army was sure to win every battle, which in turn gave the people in the rear greater confidence.

Xiao Zhuo must be under a lot of pressure. He has to strategize and defeat more with less. It's like walking a thin tightrope over an abyss. One misstep means death.

There are five hundred soldiers beside him, and thousands of civilians behind him. He is protecting everyone.

Thinking of this, her adventure of rushing into the enemy camp alone to kill the enemy general no longer made her angry.

The thousand-man vanguard force of Xirong was disbanded on the spot because of the death of the commander Danmuji. Without a general, an army of ten thousand men would disperse without a fight.

Xiao Zhuo is trying to end this war, but the cost is his life.

She would never allow this to happen.

"Let's go, Yang Cong," Shen Yuexi took Yang Cong's hand, "Let's go to the factory."

"Ms. Pei, what are you doing there? It's so noisy."

"Just follow me."

Shen Yuexi dragged Yang Cong out of the camp and walked down the mountain road to the factory where the iron ore was located.

As Yang Cong said, the factory was brightly lit and people were coming and going. All the work sheds were busy, and the clanging sound of iron was mixed together with the hiss and mist of arrows being dipped into cold water.

The blacksmith in charge saw the two people coming and rushed forward to say hello.

"Ms. Pei, we have more than 200 people here, and we are divided into three shifts to make them." The blacksmith pointed to the sweaty people in the workshop, "Now that everyone is skilled, it will not be a problem to make four thousand pieces every day."

Shen Yuexi looked at a case on the edge of the factory: "Have you not removed it yet?"

On the case was a statue of a god. Dozens of incense sticks were placed in front of it, and the smoke filled the statue, making passers-by choke and cough.

"Ms. Pei, we cannot withdraw from this," the blacksmith lowered his voice. "The gods are secretly blessing Mr. Pei and our Xiaogang Village. We have to worship every morning before starting work."

At first, everyone worked hard for two days and produced four thousand, but so many suddenly appeared in the warehouse behind. No one can figure out how it came about. The ancients were superstitious, and ultimately it was attributed to the gods secretly supporting Mr. Pei.

This spirit must be nearby.

Everyone searched in Xiaogang Village and found a dilapidated statue, which was originally the god of protection for farmland harvests. Everyone agreed that this god appeared and made 40,000 crossbow arrows. They directly invited the statue to the workshop to worship it.

The soldiers on the front line are fighting, but they are not idle at the back either.

"Master Li, I think you are dishonest," Yang Cong interrupted, "Now that you worship every day, there is not much production of crossbow arrows."

"Maybe the sacrifices are not rich enough?" The blacksmith scratched his head, "Now the meals are all served to the soldiers on the front line. Naturally, the gods barely eat..."

Shen Yuexi nodded pretending to be serious: "It's okay, God must know that your conditions are difficult, and he will make up for it later."

The villager herself found the "reason" for the increase in crossbow arrow production, and she just happened to go down the slope.

After pretending to inspect with Yang Cong, Shen Yuexi went into the mine again and took a look. Taking the opportunity, Da Xiong collected enough raw materials.

Yang Cong thought she was just checking the progress of making the crossbow arrows, but didn't go into details.

After leaving the factory, Shen Yuexi excused herself from being sleepy, broke up with Yang Cong, and returned to her residence in the back camp.

Xiao Zhuo was reading in the tent. When he saw her opening the curtain and entering, his eyes lit up. He put down the "Tiangong Story" in his hand and stood up to greet her.

"Yue Xi, where have you been?"

"walking around."

Shen Yuexi stepped forward with a smile, put her hands around Xiao Zhuo's neck, and looked directly at him with clear eyes: "Husband, you rushed into the enemy camp, I am very worried."

Xiao Zhuo put his arms around her waist and whispered: "Why would I want to go deep into death?"

"Then it's still so risky?"

"I am the commander. The commander is timid and afraid of fighting. How can the soldiers be willing to serve him?"

Xiao Zhuo let go of Shen Yuexi and turned around: "The plan will always be seen through, and the two armies will eventually have a head-on confrontation. Although the enemy's food and grass were burned this time, when they get out of the chaos Reply, we will attack at all costs."

"Is it because they lost their food and grass?"

"That's right. If I were the enemy's commander, I would not continue the stalemate. Then we would face nine thousand enemy troops, and then it would be a decisive battle."

"I know, this is what I prepared for my husband."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo turned around.

Under the candlelight, Shen Yuexi shook open a piece of chain armor made of iron rings, glowing with a cold white light.

"This armor can block swords, guns and arrows. Wear it under your outer robe to wish your husband victory."
