Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 371 Desperate
"Where's the wine, where's the wine?"

Just after dawn, Shen Yuexi was woken up by a loud voice somewhere.

She opened her eyes, her face felt cold, but her body was still warm with two thick blankets.

Normally, she would have to lie on the bed for a while before getting up, or wait for Xia Lan to urge her, anyway, Xiao Zhuo would solve all kinds of troubles, but now it is different, she has to bear extremely heavy responsibilities.

She jumped out of bed, combed and tied her messy sleeping hair with her fingers, picked up a blanket and opened the creaking wooden door.

Qiang Lin was leaning against the door with his saber in his arms, holding a branch and pulling something in the fire in front of him. Hearing the sound of the door, he turned his head and smiled at Shen Yuexi: "Princess An, she had a good rest last night, she didn't freeze. Bar?"

Shen Yuexi nodded and said: "I'm in the house, and I have a blanket from everyone. It's not cold at all. Why don't you go in and sleep?"

Just like before, Qiang Lin guarded her door all night again, this loyal guard will always move her heart.

Qiang Lin said: "It's okay, we often spend the night in the wild in winter, we have our own way, Princess An don't have to worry."

Shen Yuexi spread the blanket over Qiang Lin's body, beckoning him not to refuse, then she looked up at the smoky valley.

There were lit fires everywhere in the valley. Soldiers gathered in front of the fires in groups, some lay down and slept, and some sat and warmed themselves by the fire.Soldiers carrying grain bags shuttled through the crowd, distributing food to everyone, and many soldiers were cutting down trees to collect firewood, and the axes made a dull sound when they fell on the trees.

The wooden house she lives in is located halfway up the mountain. It is divided into two rows with a total of fifty rooms, each of which can accommodate 20 people. It was originally used for soldiers guarding food and grass to live overnight.Now that 4 people flooded into the valley all at once, these houses couldn’t fit at all, and most of the soldiers spent the night in the open air. Fortunately, there are many trees in Jutieshan Mountain, which can meet everyone’s heating needs.

She looked away and asked, "Did the general shout just now?"

Qiang Lin pulled out a black roasted sweet potato from the ashes with a charred twig, tied a twig and handed it to her: "The general was very energetic in the morning, shouting so loudly, his life should be saved .”

Shen Yuexi smiled slightly, reached out to take the roasted sweet potato, and walked along the path to the wooden house on the slope while tearing the skin and eating it.When they arrived at the house, they heard Zhao Mu complaining inside before entering the door.

"I don't even have a drop of wine, I will never eat."

Shen Yuexi entered the door and saw a doctor bending over to check Zhao Mu's wound.

"General, this arrow wound should not get worse," the doctor said after the examination. "Drinking some porridge, rice and coarse grains is fine during the raising period, but drinking and eating meat is definitely not acceptable."

Just as Zhao Mu was about to continue shouting, he caught sight of Shen Yuexi entering the room, waved away the doctor, and saluted Shen Yuexi, "Princess An, thanks to you for bringing the army out last night, if it wasn't for you, Zhao would have to kill himself as a thank you. Zhao is injured If you can't do all the courtesy in your body, don't blame the lack of courtesy."

Shen Yuexi said: "You don't need to thank the general, I saved everyone to help my husband."

"When the princess came to the border back then, Mr. Zhao saw that you were different. Drinking three bowls of wine was like a normal person," Zhao Mu said. To reorganize the army, Zhao Mu has been in the army for many years, and he has never seen such a character as Wang Hao, so he really casts his eyes on him."

Shen Yuexi said a few words politely, and talked with Zhao Mu about what to do next.

Zhao Mu said: "Princess An, the camp was attacked last night, our army could not resist the Iron Buddha, this is the only place we can come. Although there is enough food and grass here, it is cold and the firewood is limited, so it cannot last long. "

Shen Yuexi also knew the reason why Zhao Mu was worried. Just last night, the soldiers cut down half of the trees on the mountain to keep warm.Calculated in this way, at most two days and two nights will last, and the entire army will have no firewood.In such a cold winter, if you can't keep warm, the consequences can be imagined.

While she was thinking, Wei Liang came to report: "General, Concubine An, the last general has been counted clearly. Now the whole army has 80 soldiers, including 3000 of General Qiu's crossbowmen. There are 9000 horses. One hundred horses. Only 600 had weapons, a total of [-] had armor, of which [-] had no helmets..."

Zhao Mu was furious when he heard the words, touched the wound in his abdomen, frowned, patted the bed and said: "These little bastards, aren't they just stealing the camp from the Tiefutu? They even lost their weapons and armor, so how can they fight against the enemy!"

Wei Liangzheng faltered and didn't know how to answer, Qi Shengjue entered the room again, clasped his fists and said: "General, Concubine An, the scouts report back, the enemy's [-] Tiefutu occupied our camp, and the general is You Bingjun. The other [-] enemy troops The army led by Jiao Yong has set out south, and the target should be the back route of King An's army."

When Shen Yuexi heard the news, her hands and feet were so cold that she almost dropped the roasted sweet potato on the ground.Just finished counting the status of the sergeant's weapons and armor, and I was still worrying about keeping everyone warm, when such bad news came.

While she was in a daze, Qiang Lin also came to the house. Hearing the news, he comforted her and said, "Princess An, Prince An has always paid attention to inquiring about the enemy's movements. Such a large troop mobilization, he will definitely find out in advance."

Zhao Mu, Wei Liang and others also supported Qiang Lin's views, but Shen Yuexi was still worried, and said to Qiang Lin: "I am worried, Qiang Lin, you go back immediately and tell my husband that there is no problem on my side, and..." Before he finished speaking, a sergeant rushed in and said, "General, Concubine An, there is a cavalry coming from the south under the banner of the Xiliang Army."

Everyone was very surprised when they heard the news. Except for Zhao Mu, everyone else ran out of the house and climbed to the top of the mountain to have a look.

Standing on the top of Jutieshan, Shen Yuexi had an unobstructed view of the plain to the south. She saw Xiliang cavalry bypassing the camp occupied by Tiefutu and heading directly towards Jutieshan.Tie Futu also seemed to have spotted this Xiliang cavalry, and went out to pursue them, but was pulled away by the Xiliang cavalry.

Qi Shengjue pointed down the mountain and said, "Look, the horses of the Tiefutu cavalry are slow and cannot keep up with the Xiliang cavalry."

Wei Liang shook his head and sighed: "They have heavy armor...but what if you can't keep up, even if you can get around behind them, you still can't beat them."

Shen Yuexi looked at the Xiliang cavalry rushing to the foot of the mountain, and immediately recognized the leader, the female general Mei Dai.

If it was different from usual, she would naturally be extremely happy, but this time she was taken aback, hurried down the mountain to meet Mei Dai, and immediately said: "Sister Mei, why are you here?"

Mei Dai pushed up the mask, revealing a tired face, took Shen Yuexi's hand and said:

"Last night, I learned that you were attacked by Tiefutu and lost your camp. King An was very anxious, but he commanded the whole army and couldn't escape. I left Shen Lan to help him, and led [-] Xiliang cavalry to rescue my sister. Xiao Beiheng sent cavalry to intercept , we rushed over after a big battle."

Shen Yuexi looked at the cavalry behind her, and found that many soldiers had their armor dyed red, obviously after a fierce battle.She was very moved and stepped forward to hug Mei Dai.

Mei Dai smiled and patted her on the back, saying: "Sister, you don't need to do this, you are the hardest one."

Shen Yuexi was a little embarrassed.She yelled a few words anyway, and didn't even scratch the skin. The soldiers of the Border Army and the Xiliang Army were really fighting with their lives, and they paid far more than themselves.

She thought of the enemy troops that had sent troops, and quickly talked about this with Mei Dai.Mei Dai said: "Sister, don't worry. King An knows that the North Road has failed, and he has already started to arrange for the withdrawal of troops. He decided to withdraw the troops to defend in Leshan City, and will not let the enemy easily steal his back route."

Shen Yuexi worried: "What if Xiao Beiheng repeatedly harassed with cavalry like before. My husband doesn't have Xiliang cavalry, nor does he have Liannu to help. Sister Mei, you can lead the army back quickly, and take General Qiu's Liannu by the way. Take it back. Tell my husband, everything is fine here, and I will find a way to get the border army to help."

Wei Liang also said: "Queen of Xiliang, Tiefutu is blocking us from the south, and the crossbow won't work. You cavalry are flexible, you can get rid of them, and go back with the crossbow to support King An."

Knowing that she can't be a mother-in-law at this time, Mei Dai nodded and said: "Okay, since my sister has decided to stay here, then I'll take the Liannu back to help King An immediately."

There were more than [-] Xiliang cavalry who came to Jutieshan, and [-] Liannumen. The tall and heavy soldiers rode the only [-] horses left in Jutieshan. Qiu Liming and Qiang Lin also got on their horses and returned with Mei Dai.

Before leaving, Shen Yuexi said goodbye one by one, and said to Mei Dai: "Sister Mei, the enemy's goal is to destroy my husband. You should avoid fighting the enemy and join my husband's army as soon as possible. I will find a way to break through here."

Mei Dai nodded in agreement, and led the army to leave.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Shen Yuexi watched the army disappear on the horizon before turning around and going down the mountain.

After such a toss, it came to noon.Ju Tieshan hoarded a lot of food and grass, the soldiers cooked porridge and rice, she drank two big bowls, and then went to Zhao Mu's house to discuss countermeasures with him.

"In addition to grain and grass, Jutieshan also has tens of thousands of catties of iron ingots and wooden poles, which were originally used to make bows and arrows," Zhao Mu said. "Now the soldiers lack weapons, so I want to forge these iron ingots into weapons for emergency use, but All the forging tools are in the big camp, and the big camp is occupied by the Iron Buddha, and these things have become useless waste."

After he finished speaking, he sighed heavily, seemingly helpless.

Shen Yuexi was also worried.

The wood in Jutieshan is only enough to burn for another two days, and the soldiers don't have many weapons and armor is not complete.Fighting Tiefutu in this way is different from sending him to death. Even if he is fully dressed, he can't beat him.If they didn't fight, the infantry would not be able to outrun the Tiefutu, and they would not be able to throw off the enemy and go to Xiao Zhuo's place like the Xiliang cavalry.

Headache.

She didn't know what to do for a while, so she had to go out of the house to breathe.

Once outside the door, she came to a group of sergeants who were tinkering with sticks.Seeing that they were sharpening a long wooden stick with swords, they asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Shengjue happened to come over, and said to Shen Yuexi: "I ordered you to make some wooden spears. If the Tiefutu attacks, you can't hit them with your bare hands."

Shen Yuexi supported her forehead and was speechless, what can a wooden gun do, why not let Da Xiong make a batch of weapons.At this moment of life and death, there is no point in concealing the universal manufacturing machine. If it is impossible, just say that it was given to them by the gods, and maybe it can boost morale.

She took two steps, and then thought that even if the big bear made a weapon, it would not be able to penetrate the black light armor of the Iron Buddha, and the battle would still be lost.

While thinking hard, a scout rushed into the valley on horseback, stopped the horse on the mountain road, ran all the way up the mountain, and shouted:

"Urgent report, King Doma of Xirong has breached Nanping and is leading an army of [-] Xirong to march towards Leshan."

Shen Yuexi remembered.When they learned in Shengjing that Xiao Beiheng's troops were attacking in two ways, Mei Dai and Shen Lan mentioned the issue of King Doma's attack on Nanping.At that time, Shen Lan said that Nanping should be able to last for three months.

Now it seems that Shen Lan still underestimated King Doma's strength.Now Xiao Zhuo really has to face the desperate situation where there are wolves in front and tigers in the back.

"Shen Yuexi, find a way," she clenched her fists tightly, and shouted in her heart, "Hurry up and find a way."
