At night, Zhan Chengyin asked Xia Wei's 50,000 troops to stay by his family.
Mainly guarding 20 trucks of supplies and more than a dozen trucks of oil...
As night fell, the yellow sand whistled like ghosts and wolves howling.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhan Chengyin and Chen Kui split into two groups, rode their horses and took a detour to eliminate the 10,000 soldiers that the barbarians were following.
They determined the location of the barbarians, took a long detour, and assaulted the 10,000-man garrison.
Because 40,000 people were dispatched to attack more than 10,000 barbarian troops.
They found themselves near the barbarian garrison and ambushed.
A signal flare exploded in the dark sky.
The Zhan family army took action. They attacked from both sides and first eliminated some people with the Qin crossbow.
Zhan Chengyin led his men to kill them.
The barbarians were equipped with great equipment and were simply unable to resist the Zhan family army.
Even though they had great riding and archery skills, they could only flee, but were shot and killed by the Qin crossbow archers who were blocked at the outermost edge.
They fought until midnight and completely eliminated 10,000 people.
There was no time to burn the bodies this time, so they quickly returned to defend.
Zhan Chengyin was worried that the Chuqi barbarians would take this opportunity to intercept Xia Wei and rob their supplies.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly.
After returning, everything was calm.
Xia Wei was loyal and responsible to guard the supplies and his family.
There are still seven days to reach Leopard Gorge Mountain.
The terrain here is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will all be buried here. Zhan Chengyin has been thinking about a solution.
The supplies cannot be robbed, and people must go through.
In Leopard Gorge Mountain, there is no other way for the car to go around except through the canyon passage.
Unless they abandon the car.
The car must not be abandoned, otherwise the supplies cannot be loaded.
Suddenly, Zhan Chengyin thought of something.
He asked Ye Mumu to help store the supplies first, and then transmit them when they safely passed Leopard Gorge Mountain.
Zhan Chengyin couldn't wait to pass a note to Ye Mumu.
In the middle of the night, Ye Mumu was waiting for news from Zhan Chengyin, but she fell asleep on the sofa.
When she woke up in the morning, she saw the paper on the ground.
Zhan Chengyin's sneak attack last night was very successful, and he wiped out 10,000 barbarians.
In a few days, they will enter Leopard Gorge Mountain, which is the biggest challenge they have encountered so far.
Because vehicles cannot pass, Zhan Chengyin is worried that the supplies will be looted, so he wants to store them with Ye Mumu.
After they pass the customs safely, they will send them back.
Ye Mumu immediately wrote back to Zhan Chengyin and let him rest assured.
She will keep the supplies properly, and if there is anything missing, she will make up for it.
After receiving Ye Mumu's reply, Zhan Chengyin smiled with his thin lips.
He knew that no matter what the request was, the gods would help him.
He just wanted the gods to help him store the items.
But the gods would see what they lacked and take the initiative to make up for it.
Know the gods and make friends with them.
It was his fortune, and even more so the fortune of the Zhan family army!
All the soldiers took a short rest, ate white porridge and noodle soup, and continued on their way.
This time, they walked a long way.
It was bright, and there was a town ahead, with no suitable place to rest.
One hundred thousand people were trying to find a cave or a shady place to rest under the scorching sun.
When they passed by an unnamed town.
The town was bleak and desolate, with half-collapsed adobe houses. Judging from the size of the houses, there were at least a few hundred residents.
The population was several thousand people!
Now the whole town is empty.
Rows of dried mummies lay on the ground.
They cuddled up to each other, without a single piece of flesh on their bodies.
This town, as well as the area within a dozen miles of the town, did not even have dry grass and bark.
They were all eaten up.
After eating everything, they began to eat people.
Because when they passed by a fairly large house, human bones were roasted on the rack, without any flesh on them.
The soldiers were very distressed when they saw this scene.
They were heartbroken but had no way out.
This is a microcosm of the tens of millions of villages and towns in the Great Qi Kingdom.
According to secret reports, Daqi, which originally had a population of more than 40 million, now has only 28 million people left.
In just a few months, more than 12 million people died.
There are still countless villages like this where no one is left alive.
The world is cruel, and a severe drought has been sent down, and the poor people are being tortured.
The royal family and nobles in the capital are all alive and well, and no one has ever starved to death!
When the soldiers saw this scene, they thought of their relatives in their hometown.
They all cried!
They hope that their relatives in their hometown can survive and wait for them to send food!
More than 10 million people died, and they dare not imagine the disaster in their hometown...
The more they thought about it, the more desperate they became!
Many soldiers turned their backs with red eyes and wiped their tears!
Chen Wu said to Zhan Chengyin with a heavy heart: "General, they are the people of Daqi. Let's help them collect their bones and burn some incense and paper money."
"The whole town starved to death, no one survived, I'm afraid there will be no relatives to burn incense and worship them in the future."
"I heard that if they can't receive incense and paper money in the underworld, they can only be the lowest ghosts and do the hardest and most tiring work. Let's make their lives better in the underworld."
Zhan Chengyin said: "Okay, ask Shi Meng to help them transcend."
"Yes!"
The Zhan family has many soldiers, and every household went to collect the bones.
They were all buried in the open space at the entrance of the town.
The sorcerer helped to pray for the souls to be reborn, and the soldiers burned a stack of paper money and three incense sticks in front of each of their graves.
The paper money was sent by the gods, and it was called Lu Lu Tong.
It was printed with the mighty Jade Emperor...
Although the officers and soldiers did not know the Jade Emperor at this time, he should be a very powerful god.
The paper money was thick and could withstand being spent.
After burning the paper money, the gloomy feeling in the town was suppressed a little.
They walked out of the town and found a cave, planning to rest in it.
There was no need to set up a tent this time. The cave was cool outside, and they could sleep on a straw mat.
At the entrance of the cave, Xu Ming set up a tent for Zhan Chengyin.
As soon as we moved into the tent, Ye Mumu sent a note: "How many days do you have left to cross Leopard Gorge Mountain?"
"Six days. If we walk fast, we can get there in five days!" "Are you sure they will ambush?"
"Yes. Before entering Tongguan, Leopard Gorge Mountain is the only dangerous place. Because Xu Huai was unwilling to let 100,000 people take risks here, he turned a blind eye to the Zhan family army's call for help!"
"In that case, the gorge is very dangerous!"
"Yes!"
"I have to think of a way to get you through safely!"
Not long after, Ye Mumu sent another note.
"Bomb them. If they dare to ambush, you can use drones to bomb them. Suicide drones, tie explosives to them, and blow up the top of the mountain!"
She asked again, "How much explosives do you have now?"
"All used up, no more!"
"Wait, I'll call Uncle Xiao Hua and ask him to send it over. I'll purchase more than a thousand drones. We'll bomb a circle with drones when we get close to Leopard Gorge Mountain, and then send the Qin Crossbow Team to ambush at the foot of the mountain."
"Wait for the people on the mountain to come down and shoot them directly!"
Zhan Chengyin also thought that this method was feasible, but there was a drawback. How to deal with the people guarding the passage on both sides of the canyon.
He wanted to join the game in person and lead people to the place where the explosives were buried. Then detonate the explosives
... Only in this way can we successfully deal with the enemies who were attacking and blocking from front and back. In this way, they need a lot of explosives.
Zhan Chengyin said, "God, the amount of explosives needed this time is probably not small."
"No problem, hold it on me!"
"Isn't it just more explosives?
I can get it before entering Beijing, but if I go back to school, I'm afraid I can't do anything. Let's not talk about it for now, I'll go find Uncle Xiao to get explosives!"
Ye Mumu called Xiao Hua immediately. She hadn't bought explosives for a long time.
Xiao Hua thought Ye Mumu would never look for him again. He and Ye Mumu did several business deals and made a lot of money. They bought a villa and a sports car. Even the children were sent to aristocratic schools. He bought jewelry and luxury bags for his wife. His wife used to quarrel with him and threaten to divorce him all the time because she thought he didn't make enough money.
Recently, she has been very gentle. Every day when he goes home, the meals are ready, the children are making progress in their studies, and the wife is gentle and beautiful.
However, Ye Mumu didn't ask him for the goods. He was almost out of money again.
Yesterday, his wife said she liked a bag that cost more than 200,000 yuan. He was still short of money and was trying to find a way to borrow money from his colleagues. When he heard that Ye Mumu was going to buy explosives. The quantity is not small.
He said: "Five hundred tons, one hundred million!
Ye Mumu said: "Okay, I want it!"
After the negotiation, Ye Mumu paid a deposit of thirty million. He immediately transferred five hundred thousand to his wife. His wife was so happy that she kissed him on the face several times! He contacted the owner of the explosives factory and had to get five hundred tons of explosives as soon as possible. It must be delivered within five days! The quality is better than last time.
When the boss heard that Miss Ye wanted it again, she finally placed an order again.
Good news!
The boss has sufficient inventory, and now it is loaded on the car and delivered in the evening. It will arrive the day after tomorrow night!
