The subordinates wanted to say something more, but Hao Youduo raised his hand and interrupted their words.
"Come on, it will be time for us to switch over and rest soon."
The subordinates subconsciously turned to look at the hourglass and saw that only half of the sand inside was left. Then they nodded solemnly.
"superior!"
Hao Youduo roared and took the lead and rushed out without hesitation.
This group of people left quickly and came back quickly.
However, when they came back, everyone in the team smelled of murderous blood.
Most people were safe, but some were more or less injured.
Even Hao Youduo, who was charging, had a cut on his face. It was unclear whether it was from the sword or the arrow, and he was bleeding profusely.
"Qian Chang, are you injured?"
"Military doctor, where are the military doctors? Come here quickly!"
"Right away, right away." The young military doctor responded from a distance.
Ha ha.
"It's just a little skin injury," Hao Youduo smiled while wiping the blood on his machete. "No need to make a fuss. I probably won't even need any medicine."
After saying that, he looked back and looked at the brothers behind him, and his eyes couldn't help but feel sad.
After a large amount of lime powder-saturated blows, most of the Japanese pirate soldiers on the opposite side had difficulty breathing, could not see, and were left only wailing, with almost no ability to resist.
However, among the more than 200 people he took out, dozens of them were still injured or even died.
The most ridiculous thing is that some soldiers were so nervous that they tripped and fell on the way to the charge. Fortunately, they survived and fell on the blade of their hand...
This combat power...
Hao Youduo suddenly understood why Lin Hanmo, the original forward general, left the Central Army Corps to go to Jiuyuan County to learn from the northern garrison.
He shook his head and forced himself back to reality.
"The lime will dissipate soon, and the Japanese pirates will come back soon. Have the arrows and other military supplies been delivered?"
As an arrow camp, we mainly rely on large and small arrows to kill enemies from a distance.
He mustered up the courage to charge like before, but it was just a helpless move and basically could not withstand the Japanese pirates' next attack.
"This..." The hundreds of elders who stayed behind looked ugly and shook their heads in unison.
"That's unreasonable." Hao Youduo glanced at the hourglass, his face so gloomy that it could rain.
He hissed and pulled out the thousand-long sword, "You guys keep an eye on the front. Anyone coming, follow me and go to the back to take a look."
"Yes!" The personal guards ran over one after another, following behind with murderous intent.
They had no intention of looking for Dai Puyu this time, and Hao Youduo did not ride a horse.
In a short time, his group reached the rear of the position.
Looking west from a distance, three ditches on the road were clearly visible. A dozen vehicles filled with heavy materials were lined up in a long row, and they were slowly being pushed forward and back by the soldiers.
Pushing them and muttering.
Hold!
"I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Why does a good Dinghai Terminal insist on digging several large trenches in the ground? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"
Dinghai Pier is close to the sea, and the overall terrain is higher in the west and lower in the east.
Originally, as long as the horse lifted its legs slightly, military supplies, large and small, could be sent to the front smoothly.
But now there are three wide and deep trenches on the ground, and the planks cannot pass through them.
Therefore, each military supply vehicle had to be pulled or pushed by manpower, which was not only troublesome but also tiring!
"Exactly." Others agreed and cursed angrily: "Why is it that we are the ones pushing military supplies to the left-wing position, and now we are the ones sending these arrows to the front line?"
Even when it comes to gathering wool, they are not caught in one place just like this.
"What can be done about this?" Shen Dazhuang glanced around.
Although there was no one else around, he still lowered his voice.
"Everyone, our logistics or the entire legion is composed of two types of people. One is the young master soldiers of Xingji City; the other is us hard-working people."
"The number of troops in each army is limited, especially if some teams only have one person and no one, so there will be fewer people to work."
"And those young soldiers definitely don't have to work, so doesn't all the hard work fall only on us?"
"That's it." Others suddenly realized.
Seeing another trench in front of them, they all didn't want to move.
"Too tired. Take a rest, take a rest."
Shhh.
Someone quickly raised their fingers.
"Are you looking for death? If the supervisors see us hiding here to rest, how many heads do you have that they can chop off?"
"Afraid of hair." Shen Dazhuang still didn't care. He snorted coldly, "Warlord?"
"I know a few military governors. I heard that they left the military camp last night to find girls in brothels in nearby counties. They may still be in bed and unable to get out of bed..."
As he spoke, his voice slowly dropped.
The others' hearts skipped a beat and they subconsciously looked up.
I don't know when a man named Qian Long stood above the trench.
He held a bright sword in his hand and was staring at them condescendingly with a dark face.
Oops.
Shen Dazhuang's head buzzed.
The blood on the opponent's face and the swollen veins on his hands seemed like he was about to swing a knife at him at the next moment.
Wow.
A group of people knew how powerful it was, so they quickly got up shivering and started pushing the car again with great efforts.
"This general," Shen Dazhuang explained while licking his face, "just now a brother in the team sprained his foot, so we stopped to take a look at his condition. Fortunately, it's not too serious and we can't worry about anything major."
"Please rest assured that our brothers will definitely overcome all difficulties and deliver the arrows to the front on time."
Hao Youduo didn't seem to hear anything and just waved his hand.
The guards behind him jumped down from the trench and helped push the cart together.
With the strength of many people, the heavy car was pushed up in a short time.
"Thank you, thank you brothers!" Shen Dazhuang and others were grateful.
However, no one paid any attention to them.
Without saying a word, Hao Youduo's personal guards dragged out all the arrow bundles in the carriage, then quickly opened them and flipped through them carefully.
"Everyone, what are you doing?" Shen Dazhuang looked a little confused.
However, his voice did not fall.
Swish, swish, swish.
As the guards rummaged and checked, streams of pungent wood ash flowed out of the quiver like a waterfall.
There was so much wood ash that within a short time, it was thinly covered around the car.
Snapped.
One of the guards gently broke the arrow in his hand into several pieces, revealing the dense insect holes inside.
"Qian Chang, this cart arrow is the same as the one sent before. There are serious problems in both quantity and quality. Most of them cannot be used."
Hao Youduo nodded and came to the stunned Shen Dazhuang and others expressionlessly.
Looking at the gleaming sharp blade, Shen Dazhuang trembled violently.
thump.
His knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Chief Qian, you have a lot of insight into real gold. We brothers are only responsible for delivering various materials to the front line, and we don't know anything else."
The other people also reacted and were suddenly broken into cold sweats. They came over to beg for mercy one by one.
"Yes, yes. General, we are just sending arrows, we really don't know anything else."
Phew~
Hao Youduo took a few deep breaths before calming down.
He did not take out his anger on these little soldiers.
"These arrows are all bad and can't kill anyone. Just pull them back."
Shen Dazhuang and others looked at each other, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"General," he said bravely, "then we can take it back to the warehouse and bring another car over?"
"Go ahead." Hao Youduo waved his hand, not meaning to embarrass them, "By the way, let the cars behind you turn around and go back."
"Yes, yes." Shen Dazhuang felt relieved. Seeing that the other party was easy to talk to, he became more courageous, "General, if the next batch of arrows is still like this, what should the younger one do?"
"If the things delivered are still like this," Hao Youduo gently stroked his sword, his tone as calm as water, "then the general's brothers will 90% not be able to block the next wave of Japanese pirate attacks."
Speaking of this, he chuckled.
The laughter was gentle and calm, but Shen Dazhuang and the others felt a chill on their backs.
"If you can't stop the Japanese pirates, you'll die. If you go back and cause trouble, you'll die. Anyway, it's the same. I won't mind going back and dragging some bastards with me to hell."
"Understand?"
Shen Dazhuang trembled subconsciously, "I understand! I will definitely bring the general's words to you."
