After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1252 What I Picked Up Was My Own Bones
A messenger on horseback, carrying a flag, galloped towards them, repeatedly shouting the good news.

Those who heard it were shocked. Commander Ji personally came over and stopped the messenger: "Stop for a moment, explain in detail!"

Upon seeing that he was wearing the armor of a commander of a thousand, the messenger immediately stopped and explained the situation in detail.

"..." Commander Ji was dumbfounded: "A weapon as sharp as heavenly thunder and fire, and it blew a nobleman from the eastern part of the Eastern Desert into mincemeat?"

The messenger nodded: "Yes, yes, it's absolutely true. When we first received the battle report from the Dongfu Town battlefield, we thought we had misheard, but General Chu sent scouts to the battlefield to check the situation, and the battle report is real."

"The ground was smashed into many craters, and there were many remains of enemy soldiers. The token of the Eastern Desert nobles was also found; it was on one of those remains!"

"General Chu is overjoyed and has ordered us to spread the good news to boost morale and morale!"

"Hahaha, good, good, good! Heaven blesses Great Wei!" Commander Ji patted the messenger's shoulder with glee and laughed, "Go and spread the good news! Let all the people of Wei know that Heaven blesses Great Wei, and we will win!"

"Yes, sir!" The messenger mounted his horse again, raised the flag, and shouted, "Victory report! Victory report!"

When the good news reached the city gate, Uncle Qin couldn't resist any longer and decided to lead twenty soldiers out of the city.

These are soldiers under Commander Wei of Wuyuan. They were originally given thirty men and were ordered by the King of Ye to protect the families of Qin Jiang and Xu Qiao as they entered the city.

However, Uncle Qin was worried about Qin Xiaomi and was unwilling to enter the city, so the troops were divided into two, with twenty soldiers left to protect him and Jiang Erlang.

"Uncle Qin, Sister Mi said you can't leave the city. If you do, you'll easily be captured by the enemy and taken hostage," Jiang Erlang earnestly tried to dissuade Uncle Qin.

Qin Er was almost furious: "Can't you say something nice? Am I that bad? I got captured by the enemy as soon as I left the city? Do you think I'm that useless?!"

Jiang Erlang looked at him with clear eyes.

The child didn't want to lie, so he kept quiet.

Uh, Uncle Qin choked: "...That weapon was made by your sister Mi. Now that she's used it, and used it in such a dramatic way, someone will definitely try to steal it. She wants to protect it. As her family, we should go out of the city to help her. At least your Uncle Qin is good at talking and will be very useful in negotiations."

Ok?
"Alright then," Jiang Erlang agreed, mainly because he was afraid his older brother would beat him up when he got back.

The eldest brother said that no matter what Sister Mi does, his mission is to protect her with all his might until the eldest brother returns.

"Let's go and tell Commander Yu and Commander Zhao." Uncle Qin said cheerfully, taking Jiang Erlang and twenty soldiers with him, and told the commanders guarding the city about leaving the city.

"Tang Eryan, take your hundred soldiers and go with Master Qin to the Dongfu Town battlefield to check the situation. Go quickly and come back quickly." Commander Zhao didn't hesitate and let them pass, returning the men to their ranks.

Zhao Qianhu and his group were also very eager to try it.

While they were observing the military situation from the city tower, they heard a thunderous roar and saw flashes of light that flickered like lightning.

They wanted to find out: how destructive was this weapon? How many more were there? How were they made? Did they have the materials to make them? How many vehicles could be produced per day?
Ah this?

You really think too much.

The process of converting pharmaceutical saltpeter into military saltpeter alone is not something that can be completed in a day.

Dangdang Dangdang!
"Assemble and set off!" Tang Eryan, a centurion, led his troops and rode out of the city gate.

Uncle Qin and Uncle Jiang were escorted by soldiers from the front and back, holding torches as they rode out of the city... Actually, there was no need to hold torches. To make it easier for the Wei people to enter the city, there were bonfires burning along the way for illumination, making it very bright.

Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
With a clattering sound, the warhorses galloped toward Dongfu Town.

Just outside the barricade camp, they encountered a large group of mountain villagers and their families rushing towards them.

Beep beep!

The mountain people blew their arrows as a warning, and five thousand mountain heroes escorted them, shouting: "The mountain people and their families are ordered to enter the city to escape the war, please let the Wei army pass!!" "The mountain people have arrived, prepare to let them pass!" Wei soldiers were still on guard at the chevaux-de-frise camp.

In short, even if the enemy attacks this place, the soldiers must follow General Chu and fight against the enemy. If they cannot win, they can retreat back into the city and launch a long-range attack on the enemy from the city walls.

"I am the leader of the first mountain hero team escorting the families of the mountain people, and the Tiger Mother of the Eighth Village."

Tiger Lady was a healthy, tall, and strong middle-aged woman. Holding the token given to her by the Duke of Yan, she spoke to the Wei soldiers in the chevaux-de-frise camp about the situation of the mountain people's families: "We have separated the sick and injured. The mountain people in front are all healthy and without fever. They can enter the city immediately!"

This token was given by the Duke of Yan to Aunt Alan, who then gave it to Aunt Wen, who in turn gave it to Tiger Mother, so that the mountain people could quickly enter the city.

After all, those guarding the city gates included government officials such as Councilor Su, and these people were quite busy.

“The token is genuine.” Commander Cui said, “I am Commander Cui under General Chu. I have been ordered to lead you into the city… Quickly, enter the camp in batches and head towards the city gate in batches. There are places with flags and soldiers on guard along the way. Do not go near those places, as they are places where traps are laid to ambush the enemy. It is very dangerous.”

"Understood." Tiger Girl shouted to the women of Shanying Team, "Tell the mountain people about Commander Cui's warning, so they can avoid the trap!"

Beep beep!

The sound of arrows rang out again, and the women of the mountain village ran on both sides of the villagers' procession, shouting reminders to them.

Bang bang bang!
The flint was still pounding, and many of the mountain children were terrified, but almost none of them cried out loud.

They always remembered what their family had said: fear and crying were useless; they had to save their strength to escape and fight the enemy!
Boom boom boom!
"Mountain people, look at the highest military flag and follow it!" Cui Qianhu's messengers shouted, leading the mountain people and keeping an eye on them. If anyone fell behind, trampled, or became suspicious, they were to be dealt with immediately.

"Sister Tiger Girl, where is your Chief Wen? Is she doing well with Master Qin?" Uncle Qin asked Jiang Erlang, who was riding a horse, to stop Tiger Girl and inquire about Qin Xiaomi's situation.

Tiger Girl recognized him: "You're Qin Dongjia's uncle? Don't worry, Qin Dongjia, Qin Laoqianhu, and our Chief Wen are all doing well."

"On the way back to the city, we had Shan Ying's wife riding over to report on the battle situation ahead. She said that after Qin Dongjia drove the remnants of the enemy back to Dongfu Town, he did not rush into the town to kill the enemy. Instead, he discussed strategies and collected the corpses on the battlefield."

Collecting the remains?

"Someone died in battle? How many died?" Uncle Qin pressed, hoping it wasn't someone he knew.

Tiger Girl didn't understand, she just said: "How can there be no deaths in a war? So we don't need to care about the number of casualties. The important thing is that we won. We should be happy when we win!"

He's definitely a bit reckless.

Uncle Qin didn't linger any longer. After thanking Tiger Mother, he told Jiang Erlang, "Hurry up and ride away!"

With a snap, Jiang Erlang whipped his warhorse twice, then spurred it on, carrying Uncle Qin, towards the battlefield of Dongfu Town.

……

The smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated from the battlefield, and there were large and small craters everywhere from the explosions of sharp weapons. Squads of soldiers, armed with bows, arrows, swords, and spears, were on guard duty on the battlefield.

Nearby, there were also Wei soldiers squatting on the ground, holding torches and searching for skeletons.

Qin Xiaomi also squatted on the ground, searching. After a while, she found a section of the spine about the length of a palm. She immediately picked it up with her gloved hand.

The female guard next to him hurriedly handed him the bag.

Qin Xiaomi put her spine in.

Fan Qianhu came over and advised, "Master Qin, don't pick them up anymore, we'll pick them up for you... Please think about your grandfather, he's secretly wiping away tears, the old man can't stand seeing his own children doing these kinds of things."

“Don’t worry, my grandfather didn’t cry because I picked up the bones. Besides…” Qin Xiaomi said, “These are my compatriots, fellow Wei people. I’m picking up my own bones, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”
