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

Chapter 1260 Dongfu Town Almost Bombed to Ashes [3]

Bang!

The sound of a large bowl being smashed on the ground came from the report that Commander Fan had overheard from five women from the mountains. Upon learning that the Wei people at the plague prevention isolation point on the mountain had been brutally murdered, he smashed the bowl in anger: "Beasts! A bunch of beasts! They actually slaughtered our people like pigs!"

"What kind of monsters are the Eastern Desert? How could they have such a hobby? Are they so poor that they don't have a single grain of food to eat?!"

Hey, you actually guessed right.

The interior of the Eastern Desert is much colder than the eastern part of the Eastern Desert or the Northeastern State. Heavy snow blocks the roads as early as September, so crops can hardly grow.

To survive, they had no choice but to eat live animals.

After consuming all living creatures such as cattle, horses, sheep, fish, and insects, if they want to survive until the harvest season, they will have to eat some of their own kind.
The Eastern Desert consumed the offerings from the East the most.

Later, in order to survive, people from the east came to the Great Wei to buy people and transport them to the heartland to feed the various tribes.

Then, the people of the Eastern Desert discovered this place that produced delicious food, and began to understand this warm land. They learned about it for countless years, through countless dynasties...

Today, the tribes of the Eastern Desert are finally able to send troops to this place, determined to conquer this land rich in delicious food and become its masters.

Look at the Eastern Desert, they're much more cunning than the Western Rong who just raid and then go home to enjoy their wealth.

Dangdang Dangdang!
Commander Fan ordered his messenger to strike the gong, and he rode his horse across the battlefield, shouting: "All soldiers, listen up! Accelerate your preparations for battle! In 25 minutes, begin bombarding Dongfu Town! Turn all those bastards into mincemeat! Make them never return! Make them pay for the sins they have committed!"

Fan Qianhu was furious. He kept shouting orders and even went to various catapult positions to inspect the catapults and urge his soldiers on.

To boost the morale of his soldiers, Commander Fan had his messengers repeat the events that had occurred on Mianfu Mountain more than ten times.

Tell everyone about the enemy's atrocities, as well as the good news from Commander Gan and Ye Xifen, and tell the Wei army: "The enemy is brutal, but our army is even more valiant. We have already defeated the enemy twice in a row, and a powerful weapon has emerged. God bless Wei, and our army will win!"

After hearing this, the fearful young soldiers felt their terror lessen and joined the veterans in preparing for battle.

Boom boom boom!
The female guards beat drums and shouted, "Master Qin orders the female guards and the Shan Ying Weapon Team to come and collect their weapons!"

Aunt Wen and A Ling were overjoyed and hurriedly led the women of the Shan Ying Sharp Weapons Team over.

"Master Qin, niece Qin, give some to your Uncle Fan!" Commander Fan rode past the women of Shanying and was the first to reach the wall of female guards. He said to Qin Xiaomi, "Uncle saw you preparing weapons. There are so many. Give me another cartload, just one cartload, no more, how about that?"

"Sure." Qin Xiaomi's straightforwardness left Commander Fan speechless.

"No, no, no, three carts, how about three carts?!" Commander Fan immediately changed his mind, slapping himself hard several times. "You stubborn mouth! I'll teach you to be stingy, I'll teach you to ask for ten or eight more carts!"
Is Qin Xiaomi good at bargaining?

"Impossible, one truckload is already priced like an old friend."

Without the escort they showed during their escape from famine, there wasn't even a single box, let alone a whole cartload.

"Old Fan, you have no martial ethics and you're greedy! You already have a whole cartload and you're still not satisfied? Get out of here!" Commander Zhen also arrived, his face beaming with a smile, and he said in a high-pitched voice, "Niece Qin, we've fought side by side against the enemy, so my share of weapons can't be less than Old Fan's, can it?"

"Niece Qin, bring some sharp weapons for your Uncle Gao too!" Commander Gao, under General Chu, also arrived.

He was in charge of leading the team to deliver supplies and weapons.

"Half a cartload is enough, Uncle, don't ask for more!" After all, we've only known each other for an hour, and our relationship is still fragile; we can't afford to ask for too much.

"Master Ye's employer, Qin's niece, leave some for your Uncle Fan too!" After returning to camp to report the military situation, Commander Fan hurriedly led his troops over, but unexpectedly, he was still a step behind.

"Xiao Gao, stop yelling. This is none of your business. Hurry back to the command tent to report. Leave these kinds of killing tasks to us who are good at fighting!"

Commander Gao was so angry his face turned red: "You surnamed Fan, don't think you're so great just because you've taken Mianfu Mountain. If I led the troops there, I could take Mianfu Mountain back just as well. You think you can fight? Did I just get this commandership by chance?!" "Not only can I fight, but I'm also smarter and more skilled in engineering than you. Otherwise, how could I be in charge of the supply battalion! If you brutes were in charge of the supply battalion, would you even be able to manage it properly?!"

Commander Fan was also knowledgeable about supply trains and weapons; otherwise, how could he have brought two catapults to attack Mianfushan?
So he got angry and pointed at Commander Gao, saying, "Hey, you stay still! Let's have a go and see who can fight!"

Boom boom boom!
Qin Xiaomi beat the drum and shouted, "Stop fooling around. Commander Fan and Commander Zhen, each with a cart of sharp weapons, after all, they are old friends and comrades-in-arms; Commander Gao and Commander Fan, each with a cart... That's all, there's nothing more, and no one will ask again."

"..." Fan Qianhu/Zhen Qianhu/Gao Qianhu/Fan Qianhu were so shocked that they fell silent, and then regretted it: "We didn't say enough, we didn't say enough, you really have too many weapons."

"You said you only had three cartloads, and we actually believed you. We asked you for them by weight, but we never expected you to give us three cartloads all at once! Three cartloads!"

Qin Xiaomi: "I didn't lie. The original finished weapon was indeed only three carts. But we've produced several new carts. Since you commanders want to use them to kill the enemy, I'll give them to you. It's all for the sake of killing the enemy."

"However, the usable materials that have been converted are almost gone, and it will be difficult to quickly formulate another weapon. Therefore, I implore you, my lords, to use this weapon only in critical moments." Qin Xiaomi said, bowing to them, "I beg you."

The whole thing is so serious, it's like the materials for the weapon have actually been prepared.

The four commanders were skeptical, but they promised, "These weapons are rare, and we will use them where they are most needed!"

"Okay, please line up to receive your weapons!" Qin Xiaomi called out to them and distributed the weapons to them first.

Fan Qianhu and Zhen Qianhu each drove off with a car full of finished weapons.

"Remember to read the instructions, be careful of fire, and keep people away from sharp objects, they might explode!" Qin Xiaomi warned, genuinely afraid they would blow her into the air.

"Understood, understood! We've seen the power of sharp weapons!" Without turning back, the two hurried back to their troops' assembly point, selected a group of personal guards, and taught them how to use the weapons.

Commander Gao and Commander Fan also took a cartload of weapons. The two went to an open space, weighed the boxes one by one, and divided them according to weight, so that no one would be at a disadvantage!

The Shan Ying Sharp Weapon Team, Shan Shan's female guards, Wei Baihu's soldiers led by Grandpa Qin, the Imperial Guards, Jiang Erlang, Uncle Qin, and the twenty soldiers who escorted them also received a bag of sharp weapons.

Everyone was excited and curious, but they knew that sharp weapons were like thunderbolts... Thunder and fire were very dangerous, so the soldiers carefully learned how to use sharp weapons and how to keep them safe so as not to injure themselves.

It was over in a short while.

dong dong dong dong!
On the battlefield outside Dongfu Town, the sound of war drums resounded.

Commanders Zhen and Fan, with Commanders Gao and Fan as their assistants, issued military orders in unison.

"Wei army, listen to my command! Shield infantry, form a shield formation to protect the Wei army; archers, prepare to launch a ranged attack on any enemy troops attempting a desperate last stand; cavalry, disperse to the front, rear, left, and right to slaughter any enemy troops trying to break through and leave Dongfu Town!"

"Prepare supplies, long-range weapons, and elite troops... 100-pound flints, load them into the launching basket; prepare the rope pullers, pull the ropes to bring the launching arm to its lowest point!"

As the orders came down, a long row of large, medium and small catapults displayed on the battlefield of Dongfu Town were all prepared.

"Observe the direction the watchtower's command flag is pointing..."

The scouts marked the enemy's sentry posts, patrol points, and possible hiding places in Dongfu Town.

The sentry tower soldiers were responsible for observing these positions from a distance and then indicating the approximate range to the Wei troops attacking from afar.

"In the center of Dongfu Town, slightly southwest, about two fingers' width away, boom!"

Swoosh! ...
At a command, 335 catapults of various sizes simultaneously launched flints, slamming them into Dongfu Town.
