Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 271

The female general Nasha of the Guli Army who led the troops this time is a young lady with great heroism and superb fighting skills.

The first day Mei Qian met Nasha, she started talking about Nasha's muscles to Lingjiao and Lin Manman.

Well, Mei Qian noticed on the first day that Nasha had abdominal muscles. If she has abdominal muscles, then it goes without saying that she must have muscles in other parts of her body as well.

A girl with a good figure is popular wherever she goes~
This made Lingjiaoluan jealous. When she followed Mei Qian and Nasha's team to the front line, she kept observing Nasha, trying to learn how Nasha was trained.

Nasha just smiled and didn't care that she had attracted the attention of a little girl.

What she cared about was why Mei Qian would take them to the front line first.

"Master Mei, I looked at the marching route and it seems we are taking a detour."

Nasha is not the kind of person who just follows orders. Although she will not ask directly when Mei Qian gives an order, she will always find Mei Qian privately to ask the reason.

This time, when asked about Mei Qian's march, Mei Qian smiled and asked, "Where do you think our detour took us?"

"Um……"

Hearing Mei Qian's question, Nasha stared at the map, watching them heading northwest. She frowned and thought for a while before saying, "If we go any further, it's not a matter of us reaching the border anymore. We'll go straight to the west... huh?"

Nasha was startled by what she said. She looked up into Mei Qian's clear eyes and said in disbelief: "Sir, are you going to..."

"Our Guli Army's light cavalry is one of the best in the army in terms of marching speed and flexibility.

We may not be good enough in charging into battle, but when it comes to chasing and raiding, who can compare with us?"

Mei Qian's words seemed to verify Nasha's thoughts, and Nasha's heartbeat even quickened.

It seemed as if they had returned to the passionate feeling they had when their cavalry went out of the country to hunt down horse bandits in the Western Regions.

"Then... Sir?! Are we going to attack Xirong's hometown directly?!"

"Ah? That's not true. We don't know the internal topography of Xirong."

The maps they had on the Xirong side were not enough to go deeper into the area. Without an in-depth map, Mei Qian was powerless even if he wanted to launch a surprise attack on his hometown.

But Nasha was right, she was planning a sneak attack. Although it was a surprise attack on the periphery, it was enough to disrupt the Xirong soldiers in the areas where they retreated.

But...if that's all, it would be an overkill.

After hearing Mei Qian remain silent after mentioning the internal affairs, Na Ran probably understood what Mei Qian meant. Similarly, she also felt that their running around seemed to be of little value.

But at this moment, Mei Qian pointed to the northwestern corner, where a huge mountain lay between Xirong and Tianxue City.

"This is the best place for Xirong to raise sheep and horses, right?"

Seeing Mei Qian pointing at that place, Nasha nodded. After all, the climate there was very similar to that of Tianxue City. Relying on the snow water of Tianshan Mountain and the rich pastures at the foot of the mountain, it was indeed a good place.

"After we cut off the Xirong people's retreat route, we will continue to move northwest and rob. We will take some good cattle and sheep to reward the three armies."

"This...Won't the Xirong people resist? We robbed these cattle and horses and brought them back. The northwest border is full of cliffs and we can't climb up. We have to return along the border. By then, the Xirong people will inevitably chase us all the way."

"Chase? Our army is almost running deep into the grassland. Who has the time to help chase them? Besides, the road they are following is..."

Mei Qian needed no further explanation, as these were also part of her plan.

Mei Qian’s only worry was that it would be disastrous if the cattle and sheep there were withdrawn too early.

However, Nasha smiled and told Mei Qian not to worry about this, because every year when the merchants from Tianxue City went to the Western Regions to do business in the spring, they would also meet some Xirong people entering the Western Regions from that area.

That place is not a place that can be abandoned at will. Even if the King of Xirong gives the order to retreat back to the depths of the grassland, the local herdsmen will probably disobey it in secret. After getting Nasha's confirmation, Mei Qian was in a good mood. When a person is in a good mood, everything will go smoothly...

···
At the same time, the news that Mei Qian went to the northwest to participate in the war a few years ago was also known to the Mei family through the letter Su Jingkang wrote to the Yuan family.

“Oh my god!!”

Old Mrs. Mei stood in front of a Buddhist shrine in the main hall, next to the statues of her deceased husband and son. This was the shrine that she brought back in early spring after the Chinese New Year, saying that it could bless her family members who were traveling far away.

Shitou was a worry-free person. He went out shortly after the Chinese New Year and said he was going to Qingyao, but he didn't say what he was going to do specifically.

Old Mrs. Mei also understood it tacitly and didn't ask any questions, but just told Shitou not to act rashly outside like he did in the past two years and not drag the whole family into trouble.

In their family, there is no one else who can escape danger like Mei Qian and earn a new future for himself.

"Master, may your children and grandchildren be safe and sound outside."

When Old Lady Mei lit incense and spoke in front of the serious gods and Buddhas, she was quite reserved. But when she turned around and lit incense for Old Lady Mei again, she started to talk a lot:
"I won't bother with you for not having appeared in my dreams for such a long time, old man. Just stay with Qian girl.

The child had great ideas. He said he wanted to make a living and get involved in wars. So he went to the northwest again.

No wonder he didn’t write a letter before the New Year, but just asked someone to bring a verbal message back.

You must protect Qian girl and keep her safe outside..."

As he said this, he placed the incense on Old Man Mei's incense table, and then burned some incense for his eldest son who had passed away early, muttering:

"Your son has a son now, and everyone knows that they need to fight for their child's future. I don't expect you to learn from your father and show off your magical powers, but at least you can bless your son who is away from home, okay?

After a few years, the whole family got together again.

When we get back, your wife and I will help you and your father find a good place to bury you. Then our whole family will be reunited, and we won’t be separated by such a long distance like we are now…”

Mei Qian was unaware of Old Lady Mei's muttering. They had now taken a detour and arrived at one of the deduced routes for the Xirong soldiers' retreat.

As soon as he arrived here, Mei Qian asked people to bring out a batch of black gunpowder that he had asked Qi Fei to make in her workshop.

An Guo actually had black gunpowder a long time ago, but in terms of power, Mei Qian had specially asked someone to test it before, and she was not exaggerating, the power of this thing was not as strong as her original dust explosion.

If you want great power, you really need a considerable amount of black powder.

But as the number increases, some unstable factors will follow.

Therefore, Mei Qian had no intention of using the black gunpowder to kill people or anything like that. She planned to blow up the road that led from east to west back to Xirong!

It’s no wonder that she has a good relationship with Qi Fei. Mei Qian’s train of thought is sometimes the same as Qi Fei’s.

In order to prevent the Western Rong soldiers from moving south from Li Su Prefecture, Qi Feineng blocked a straight road that was dozens of meters wide, and Mei Qian dared to blow up the road.

Five thousand light cavalry, each carrying dozens of kilograms, installed the equipment on the valleys and stone mushrooms along the way. When the fuse was lit, the deafening noise could be heard from far away.

Soon, both sides on the front line were fighting each other and were startled by the sound coming from the depths of the northwest desert.

"A dragon turned over?"

"It's thundering?"

There were all kinds of speculations, until a few days later, the assassin who went to check came to report to Qi Fei that the canyon leading to Xijin Xirong had collapsed...

Mei Qian: When others are fighting, I am destroying the house. When others are fighting, I am robbing. When others are running away, I am "harvesting" ~

I always suspect that the poisonous bug in my room can't get out, so I use all kinds of insecticides, mosquito coils, and mite removal medicines, and then I get bitten again when I sleep in the room... I'm so angry! ! ! !
