Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 98 The Weapon of Defense

The autumn wind is bleak, and the forest is full of dye.

The northwest frontier is cooler than the interior of the pass, and it is only the beginning of September, and Shen Yuexi has already felt the chilly wind.

She sat under Xiao Zhuo.The remaining seats in the tent have been evacuated, and all the generals gathered together, each with a heavy expression.

Just now the spies brought back important news: the enemy's central army, a [-]-man team, is only three days away from Xiaogang Village.

Even if the vanguard's 9000 people are taken away, there are still 9000 enemies.And 500 people are eighteen times that of [-] people.Outnumbered and outnumbered, it can be said that it is a crushing situation.

She doesn't know how to fight, so she only listens to the discussion of the people and doesn't interrupt.

Meng Yue cupped his fists and said to Xiao Zhuo: "My lord, the Xirong army will arrive here in three days. We only have about [-] soldiers who can fight, and we can't resist at all. The other party already knows that there is an ambush here, and they will definitely not be fooled again. "

The enemy is no fool, the ambush at the pass can only be used once.But apart from the pass, there is no danger to defend in other places.This means only confronting the enemy directly.

Qiu Liming also agreed very much: "The last general also thinks that it is the best choice to retreat temporarily to avoid the opponent's army."

An army of 9000 is no better than a thousand. Even if all of their four hundred soldiers are supernatural, they cannot withstand the onslaught of the enemy.

Song Zhen shook the feather fan and thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Zhuo:
"My lord, what General Meng and General Qiu have said is true. We are outnumbered by the Xirong people, and I hope that my lord will leave this place as soon as possible to seek other people's schemes."

Shen Yuexi frowned unwillingly.Withdrawing the troops now is tantamount to letting the Xirong people in. Wouldn't all their previous efforts be in vain?But considering the number of enemies, maybe everyone's suggestion is the only option.

Xiao Zhuo held the teacup, calmly, and said lightly:
"Not urgent."

Both Meng Yue and Qiu Liming looked at Xiao Zhuo in puzzlement.

Song Zhen didn't expect Xiao Zhuo to say that, he asked: "Does the lord want to stay here?"

Although the lord is cunning in using troops, he is good at winning more with less.But in the face of nearly [-] troops, do you still insist on staying?

Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly, with a low voice:
"This place is my Dayan territory, and behind us are the people of Dayan. If we leave, it will be tantamount to letting the Xirong army rush in and massacre civilians. Have you ever thought about the consequences?"

Everyone looked at each other.

He looked at the few people with deep eyes, and continued, "Have you ever seen that there are quite a few people from nearby villages who come to Xiaogang Village to settle down here? Have you ever thought about why they come here?"

Meng Yue said: "Of course it's because we repelled the Xirong army, and they feel that Xiaogang Village is safe."

Song Zhen lowered his head in thought, what does the lord mean.This time they were able to repel the opponent, and the people of Xiaogang Village also put in a lot of effort, and now they give up as soon as they say it, firstly, it seems that the lord is too cold, and secondly, I am afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people.

He was even more troubled in his heart, if he didn't leave, how would he deal with the troubles of the Xirong army?
If it was changed before, the villagers here would retreat to the border at worst.Anyway, there were not many people, but the situation is different now.The people of Xiaogang Village are nostalgic for their homeland and will never abandon it.But it is difficult.

Meng Yue and Qiu Liming also had the same idea as him.

As a general, Meng Yue is not ignorant of the truth of this.But since the lord decided to stick to it, he no longer struggled, and asked: "Then according to the lord's wishes, how should we defend?"

He was only in charge of fighting, as for asking him to think of other ways, his brains were not enough, so he simply asked Xiao Zhuo for the solution.

What Qiu Liming thought was simple, he only listened to his master's orders, and as long as the master gave orders, he would go into battle at any time.clasped his fists and said:

"My lord, please do not hesitate to order, I will go through fire and water in the end, and I will not hesitate."

Xiao Zhuo looked at the crowd with admiration in his eyes. He took a sip of tea and said, "I found an iron ore in the pass last night. I have asked my wife and Yang Cong to find craftsmen to mine the iron ore and make bows and crossbows. Arrows. Now that the pass is blocked by rocks, if the enemy wants to come over, they must climb the mountain. At that time, we will shoot down with bows and crossbows. One can count as ten."

None of the generals in the tent, including the military adviser Song Zhen, knew that Xiao Zhuo had the presence of Shen Yuexi.

As soon as Xiao Zhuo finished speaking, the three of them all looked at Shen Yuexi.

Facing the bewildered eyes of the three, Shen Yuexi nodded confidently: "That's right, I have told Yang Cong to invite the master to make bows and arrows at the pass."

Now that Xiao Zhuo has decided to stay and protect the local people, she naturally wants to help him.For her who has a universal manufacturing machine, it is just a matter of overnight.

Song Zhen shook the feather fan, suddenly realized, and said happily: "If so, then we can rely on the danger to repel the army of Xirong?"

As long as there is a steady stream of bows and arrows to support it, it is really possible to stop the Xirong army.

Meng Yue held the saber at his waist, he didn't feel refreshed like Song Zhen, he still frowned and stared at the map, Xiao Zhuo was not in a hurry, and kept waiting for Meng Yue to speak.

"Why? General Meng still has any doubts," Song Zhen saw Meng Yue's miserable appearance, walked slowly to his side, followed his gaze to look at the map, "Let the big guys listen to it if you say it? "

Song Zhen didn't know how to fight at all, he just assisted Xiao Zhuo in handling government affairs.Seeing Meng Yue's serious face, he knew that he had other concerns.

Meng Yue said: "If you want to defend against the enemy army, assuming that five hundred soldiers are all bowmen, each person needs at least one hundred arrows. But can you make fifty thousand feather arrows in three days?"

The lord is able to prepare for the follow-up matters before the battle is over, which is already a rainy day.But in only three days, he had never seen anyone who could make so many crossbows and arrowheads.

He didn't think Shen Yuexi and Yang Cong could make craftsmen make so many arrowheads at once.

Xiao Zhuo lowered his eyes, and his tone was unquestionable: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own way."

This was the first time Meng Yue heard Xiao Zhuo speak in such a tone, and he couldn't help being taken aback.In the past, there was something they didn't understand, but the lord would tell them the specific countermeasures in detail.Why is the lord silent and secretive this time?

Xiao Zhuo didn't give Meng Yue too much time to think, the army was approaching, and they had to get ready immediately.

"General Meng, in the past three days, you will lead a hundred soldiers to patrol the north after exiting the pass, and pay attention to Xirong's movements. If any enemy spies come to investigate, kill them on the spot."

The voice was light, but with a strong killing intent.

"The final general will obey the order." Meng Yue took the order and left.

Here Shen Yuexi is already using her brain.If you want to make bows and arrows, you have wood and iron ore, but the feathers on the tail of the arrow are hard to find. Only a few feathers on a chicken can meet the requirements.In this case, even if all the chickens and ducks in Xiaogang Village were plucked, it would not be enough.

If you don't use bows and arrows, what about crossbow arrows instead?

Crossbow arrows don't need tail feathers, they can be launched by showing their heads and aiming at the enemy, and they don't need to stand up to draw the bow, so that the enemy is even shooting with bows and arrows.Also very disadvantaged.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuexi took out "Tiangong Tale" from her arms.Turn to the chapter on how to make bows and crossbows.

"... ten arrows, eight inches in length, are for continuous crossbows... for battalion defense weapons, not good for formation."

It's decided, let's make a continuous crossbow.
