Chapter 263 Xiao Zhuo's Request
"Father, listen to my son," Xiao Beiheng stood in the commander's tent, his armor was crooked and his belt was loose, and his hair was disheveled. "This child was reckless in this battle. I didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to play such a little trick. If we fight again in the future, we will definitely
win."
Xiao Ming looked up at the roof of the tent and did not respond.
He was very familiar with this scene, it had just happened yesterday.
His son had been yelling and cursing all day, and when his morale was at its lowest, he was attacked by surprise. He was completely led by Xiao Zhuo, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed or injured. Fortunately, he immediately sent troops to support him and repelled Xiao Zhuo's chasing cavalry.
.
Xiao Beiheng was still unscathed. He was very smart this time. As soon as he saw the crossbows pouring out of Xiao Zhuo's camp, and his own large shield was thrown dozens of feet behind him, he knew that he would be defeated and turned his horse's head in advance.
Escaped back.
For an army of 100,000, three thousand casualties is not a serious matter. However, the impact on morale of losing two battles in a row cannot be underestimated.
One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and it is almost foreseeable that Xiao Beiheng will still suffer losses in another battle.
I heard before that Xiao Zhuo used 50,000 yuan against Xiao Kai 200,000 yuan in Xiliang, and defeated Xiao Kai steadily. He thought it was Xiao Kai who was too stupid, but looking at it now, it was not that Xiao Kai was not good, but that Xiao Zhuo was too smart.
.
"Beiheng," Xiao Ming said after thinking for a long time, "This cannot continue. We have lost all our large shields, and the opponent's crossbows are very powerful."
The servants came into the tent to bring tea. Xiao Beiheng picked up the tea and drank it all in one breath, waving the servants out quickly.
"Big Bear can make napalm incendiary bombs and white phosphorus incendiary bombs..."
Qiu Liming smiled and said: "After two battles, our infantry and cavalry have already fought against the King of Qi's army. Now the generals of each battalion are working hard to train their troops and prepare for the big battle ahead, without worrying about the lord."
"Does it have to be restored to the original jade pendant?" Xiao Zhuo rubbed her shoulders.
She knew nothing about military affairs and had no idea what types of incendiary bombs there were. She had no choice but to ask Da Xiong, "Can you please list the types of incendiary bombs that can be made?"
She was about to reach out for the tweezers when Xiao Zhuo's big hand held her wrist and said, "Yue Xi, don't worry about this jade pendant. I want you to make me something that can make me angry."
She called to Big Bear in her heart: "Big Bear, can you make incendiary bombs?"
I've been working hard since I woke up in the morning, and it's almost noon, and I've only finished one-sixth of the entire jade pendant.
"My husband has told me that this jade pendant is called Longhuan Jade Pendant."
"My lord, the last general will go out into battle today, but King Qi's army will not respond."
"Father, we are a lion. Xiao Zhuo is nothing more than a jackal compared to us. He bit us twice due to luck. It's no big deal. I can order the craftsmen in the army to make a big wooden shield..."
This thing seems easy, but it is very troublesome to do. Some of the fragments are the same size and fit into a certain gap, so they can only be compared one by one. The fragments are so small that Shen Yuexi had to squint under the lamp to look carefully.
Shen Yuexi said as she stuffed it into the gap. Her hands trembled, and one-sixth of the pieces that had been put together fell apart.
"Wait a minute, let's make napalm bombs." Shen Yuexi interrupted Da Xiong's words.
Xiao Zhuo stood up and said, "I'm going to the back tent to rest. General Qiu will take care of the military affairs."
"Even if you create a shield, Xiao Zhuo will still have a countermeasure," Xiao Ming waved his hand to interrupt him, "If you want to win, you can't follow Xiao Zhuo's rhythm. That way you will always be one step behind him."
"I need a specific name." Shen Yuexi scratched her head.
Big Bear paused for a moment, and the cheerful voice rang again: "Dear Master, according to Article 6249 of the fifth edition of the Interstellar Federation Human Rights Treaty, the universal manufacturing machine cannot make napalm."
Xiao Zhuo was watching with interest as her face changed from bright to dark, not knowing what she was mumbling.
"My husband is talking about incendiary bombs." Shen Yuexi clapped her hands, "I understand, let me ask first."
Xiao Beiheng was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "A clever idea, we can attack Xiao Zhuo's grain storage place. If his grain and grass are gone, the army will naturally be in chaos."
"Obviously we can build cannons, why can't we build this one?"
"My child, let's do it now." Xiao Beiheng turned around excitedly and walked out of the tent.
After the servants left, Xiao Beiheng straightened his clothes and armor and said to Xiao Ming:
"It's not because he's angry," Xiao Zhuo put his hands together and made an exploding gesture, "it was a bang that started a fire."
"You send a sergeant disguised as a villager to find out where Xiao Zhuo stores his grain."
"This is the only relic left by the queen mother to her husband. If it is made into something else, it will be meaningless." Shen Yuexi straightened up, "No, I'm fine anyway. I don't believe it takes ten days and a half to work hard." Not coming out."
"Can you get angry?" Shen Yuexi didn't react for a moment.
Xiao Zhuo said: "Understood, then we don't have to go, hurry up and let the sergeants practice."
Shen Yuexi was using tweezers to piece together the broken jade pendant piece by piece. Daxiong did not have the ability to observe. To restore the jade pendant, she had to find out its exact name.
Xiao Zhuo didn't say anything, walked behind her and sat down, watching her carefully put the pieces together.
Xiao Beiheng agreed and went to the camp to select several clever sergeants to disguise themselves as villagers and go to investigate.
Xiao Ming said: "Food and grass are the life of an army. When Xiao Zhuo led his cavalry to Leshan to relieve the siege of the King of Xiliang, it cut off the food route of the Xirong army. One hundred thousand Xirong army had to turn back to deal with Xiao Zhuo, which naturally solved the siege of Leshan. .If he does not choose this strategy and directly leads his cavalry to fight Xirong, it will be a dead end."
"I know, the problem is that there are 561 different shapes of Long Huan Jade Pendant, and the weights are also different. If it is made indiscriminately, either the thing made will be completely different from the original one, or it will not be made at all."
The next day, Xiao Zhuo sent General Qiu Liming to take the initiative to lead his army to fight, and Qi King Xiao Ming hung up his no-war card. Qiu Liming ordered his sergeants to scold him. Seeing that Qi Wang's army was staying behind closed doors, he withdrew his troops and returned to the camp to find Xiao Zhuo.
"Dear Master, Big Bear can make 901 types of incendiary bombs. The owner's name is too general. Please point out the exact name of the incendiary bombs."
"Don't block the light." She tilted her head and used one hand to push Xiao Zhuo's face away. With the other hand, she used tweezers to hold a fragment the size of a grain of rice and carefully pushed it in.
"Hey," she slapped the tweezers on the table angrily and leaned back on Xiao Zhuo's chest, "it was all in vain again."
Only now do I realize that when I originally designed the universal manufacturing machine, I failed to consider many important things and it was such a failure.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Ming raised his hand and shouted, "Beiheng, your actions must be secretive and don't let Xiao Zhuo notice. If he discovers it, this plan will be useless."
Shen Yuexi didn't understand, but if Daxiong said it couldn't be done, it definitely couldn't be done. This was something that couldn't be compromised.
Xiao Beiheng was a little confused: "What does your father mean?"
Qiu Liming took the order and left, and Xiao Zhuo walked to the back tent.
"What about the white phosphorus incendiary bombs?"
"Dear Master, according to the fifth edition of the Interstellar Federation Human Rights Treaty..."
"I know, it definitely can't be made," Shen Yuexi interrupted Daxiong helplessly, "High-purity alcohol can be used."
The big bear wouldn't let him do it, so she had her own way around it.
