Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 106 The Hungry God

"When the lord rushed in alone, to be honest...we were all sweating."

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

"Originally we planned to burn the enemy's food and grass and retreat, but the enemy's general suddenly appeared, and the lord said that we would try to take his head from among the thousands of troops, so we stopped halfway and prepared to respond with crossbows."

Shen Yuexi was terrified when she heard it, and glared at Xiao Zhuo who was next to her.The latter drank leisurely, only pushing and not knowing.

She has been standing on the top of the mountain with her military advisor Song Zhen, and seeing the fire in the Xirong camp in the distance, she felt uneasy and worried that something might happen to Xiao Zhuo.It wasn't until four hundred soldiers returned triumphantly with gongs and drums that she felt relieved and went down the mountain to greet her.

This time the stealing camp was a complete victory, the enemy's food and grass were burned, and no one was injured.

In her eyes, wars are dangerous, and Xiao Zhuo may be injured one day, so she can't stand by and watch.Building a solid set of armor for Xiao Zhuo should help.

With the advanced technology of the universal manufacturing machine, the armor produced is absolutely the best.

While thinking about the style of armor, Qiu Liming's words interrupted her.

"...The enemy army really recklessly chased them out. We fired our crossbows at once and shot the pursuers on their backs. Haha, what a joy!"

"That's right, they rushed out without shields." Meng Yue tilted his neck and drank another bowl.

"My lord's action not only burned the enemy's food and grass, but also disrupted the enemy's original plan. It really kills two birds with one stone." Song Zhen picked up the wine bowl, and said to the generals in the account, "Everyone have another toast to the lord."

Shen Yuexi didn't drink, so she greeted everyone and stepped out of the handsome tent by herself.

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

The flames of the Xirong Camp in the north continued.Before solving the problem of food and grass, the Xirong people had no time to attack them.

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

Yang Cong has joined the army, but Xiao Zhuo does not allow her to join the battle.

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

"How can I sleep with such a big commotion. I've been very excited these two days, and I only need to sleep for an hour or two every day."

Shen Yuexi knew that Yang Cong's insomnia was caused by being too nervous.With the enemy at hand, it is natural that civilians who have never participated in wars cannot sleep.I am afraid that the villagers in Xiaogang Village are also like this.

Based on the history of ancient wars she knew, the army was everywhere, and most of the people would leave their homes and flee to places where there was no war.

Xiaogang Village is different this time, the people believe in Xiao Zhuo inexplicably, almost to the point of blind worship.Even if everyone knew that he was paying five hundred to ten thousand, no one escaped, but more people came to Xiaogang Village.

Everyone continuously provided the army with food, drinks, and supplies. This is the root of Xiao Zhuo's army's strong fighting spirit.And the army must win every battle, which in turn gave the people in the rear greater confidence.

Presumably Xiao Zhuo was under a lot of pressure, he had to strategize and win more with less.It's like walking a thin tightrope over an abyss, and one misstep means death.

Around him are five hundred soldiers, and behind him are thousands of people.He is protecting everyone.

Thinking of this, his adventure of rushing into the enemy camp alone to kill the enemy general did not make her angry anymore.

Before, Xirong's vanguard thousand-man team collapsed on the spot because the commander-in-chief Dan died in battle.Without a general, an army of 1 people would be disbanded without a fight.

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

She must not allow this to happen.

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

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

"Just come with me."

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

As Yang Cong said, the factory was brightly lit and people were coming and going.All the sheds were busy with the clanging of irons, the hiss of arrows in cold water, and the mist.

The blacksmith in charge saw the two men coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Miss Pei, we have more than 200 people here, and they are made in three shifts," the blacksmith pointed to the sweating people in the shed. "Now that everyone is proficient, it is not a problem to make [-] pieces a day."

Shen Yuexi looked at a case on the edge of the factory: "Has it been removed yet?"

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

"Miss Pei, this cannot be withdrawn," the blacksmith lowered his voice, "The gods are secretly protecting Mr. Pei and our Xiaogang Village. We have to worship every morning before starting work."

At the beginning, everyone worked hard for two days, and they made [-] pieces, and suddenly there were so many in the warehouse behind.Until now, no one has figured out how it came about.The ancients were superstitious, and it finally came down to the fact that the gods were secretly supporting Mr. Pei.

The deity must be nearby.

Everyone searched in Xiaogang Village, and they found a dilapidated statue, which was originally a god to protect the harvest of the farmland.Everyone agreed that it was this god who made [-] crossbow bolts.So he directly invited the statue to the workshop to worship.

The soldiers on the front line are fighting, and they are not idle behind.

"Master Li, I don't think you are sincere," Yang Cong interjected, "Now you worship every day, and the production of crossbow arrows is not much."

"Maybe the sacrifices are not rich enough?" The blacksmith scratched his head, "The meals we cook now are first served to the soldiers on the front line. Naturally, the gods almost ate..."

Shen Yuexi nodded solemnly: "It's okay, God must know that your conditions are difficult, and I will make up for it later."

The villagers themselves found the "reason" for the increased production of crossbow arrows, and she just fell down the donkey.

After pretending to inspect with Yang Cong, Shen Yuexi went into the mine again.Take the opportunity to let Big Bear collect enough raw materials.

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

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

Xiao Zhuo was reading a book in the tent, when he saw her open the curtain and enter, his eyes lit up, he put down the "Tiangong Tale" in his hand, and got up to greet her.

"Yuexi, where have you been?"

"walking around."

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

Xiao Zhuo put his arms around her waist and said in a low voice, "Why would I want to go deep into death."

"Is it 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: "There are always times when a plot is seen through, and the two armies will eventually confront each other head-on. Although the camp stealing this time burned the enemy's food and grass. When they recover from the chaos, Will attack at all costs."

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

"That's right, if I were the commander of the enemy army, there would be no stalemate. At that time, we will face [-] enemy troops directly, and then it will be a decisive battle."

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

Hearing this, Xiao Zhuo turned around.

Under the candlelight, Shen Yuexi clattered and shook off a chain armor made of iron rings, glowing with a cool white light.

"This armor can block swords, guns and arrows. Wear it under the robe, and wish your husband the best of luck."
