Two days later in the morning, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao walked up to the Pass Fangcheng together.
Cheng Jiu and Yu Tie did not follow. They stayed in the military medical camp to help make poison smoke balls.
While walking, Jimo Qiao asked in confusion: "Brother, do you think it's strange? That day the Piz people were still attacking so fiercely, but then they suddenly became silent. It's been two days now.
Why are the Chinese still silent?"
Chai Yan said: "It's not that Hengsar doesn't want to move, it's that he didn't expect how to move. Think about it, as soon as their people rush up, we will use poisonous smoke to greet them. If they don't retreat in time, we will have to explain how many come."
How many, such a number of casualties, Heng Saer must not be able to accept it, because it is too injured."
Jimo Qiao nodded and said, "That's okay. Let's make more poison smoke balls now so that we won't have enough when we start fighting."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Yes, General Fan has sent people to purchase a lot of medicinal materials in the past two days. The reserve of poison smoke balls should be quite sufficient."
"It's a pity that there is a little less kerosene." Jimo Qiao sighed.
As he said that, Jimo Qiao pursed his lips and said with some complaint: "It's all the fault of Pang Zhenbei. He told him not to use kerosene but he still used it. Dozens of jars were wasted. Now when I think about it, I feel...
Feeling bad!"
Chai Yan smiled and shook his head, saying, "I feel bad too. I used several jars of kerosene to burn the body that night. If I had known that there was only so much kerosene, I would have used it sparingly."
The two of them came to the Fangcheng Trail while talking.
As soon as they came up, Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao saw a lot of billowing black smoke rising into the sky from below the pass, accompanied by a strange smell that was mixed together and very unpleasant.
Jimo Qiao immediately covered his mouth and nose and said in a low voice: "What are you doing?"
Chai Yan walked to the crenel, looked down, and said, "They are burning corpses and cars."
Jimo Qiao also looked over and saw a sea of fire below the pass. The wooden curtain cars and trammel vehicles left behind by the Pitz people from the last attack were already burning, and the bodies of the Pitz people were also burned.
When Jimo Qiao retracted his body, he saw Pang Zhenbei and Zhan Pu coming from the front.
Without saying a word, Jimo Qiao rushed up and asked loudly: "Pang Zhenbei, who told you to use kerosene again? Don't you know how valuable kerosene is now?"
Pang Zhenbei looked confused and said innocently: "Miss Mo Yu, what are you talking about? I didn't use kerosene. How could I dare to use it without the permission of the Taoist Priest!"
Zhan Pu hurriedly said: "Yes, Miss Mo Yu, General Pang has not used kerosene, I can testify."
Jimo Qiao immediately pointed to the bottom of the pass and asked: "What's going on down there? How can it be burned without kerosene?"
"Oh, Miss Mo Yu, you are talking about this, hahaha..."
When Pang Zhenbei heard this, he immediately laughed.
Zhan Pu also laughed.
"Why are you laughing? Don't laugh! Answer my question quickly." Jimo Qiao looked very serious.
Chai Yan came over from behind, gently patted Jimo Qiao's shoulder, shook his head at her, and signaled her not to adopt such an attitude.
Pang Zhenbei said: "Miss Mo Yu, the kerosene used for burning things was actually squeezed out from the soil where the fire was put out that day by General Zhan Pu and I. It took a lot of effort for everyone."
Two days ago, the fierce oil bombs thrown by the Pitz people were all put out with mud. Pang Zhenbei and Zhan Pu did not waste them, but ordered people to squeeze them out in a stupid way, and actually extracted some
Kerosene, so it was used here.
"Really?" Jimo Qiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed and looked at Pang Zhenbei and Zhan Pu dubiously.
Zhan Pu nodded and said, "It's true, Miss Mo Yu. It's really General Pang who came up with the method. I'm just helping."
Chai Yan smiled and said: "General Pang's clever thinking is admirable."
Pang Zhenbei quickly said modestly: "No, no, no, Taoist priest, don't say that. How can this be considered clever? No, no, no..."
Jimo Qiao flattened his mouth and apologized: "Okay, okay, I blamed you wrongly this time. I'm sorry, General Pang... General Pang."
Pang Zhenbei waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's okay."
After chatting casually for a while, Chai Yan asked about the movements of the Piz people in North Pang Town.
"General Pang, are the people of Pitz still as silent today as yesterday?" Chai Yan asked.
Pang Zhenbei nodded and said: "Yes, just like yesterday, he is unable to retreat and lifeless! I don't know what Heng Saer is thinking..."
Zhan Pu interjected: "I guess they must have tasted the power of the Taoist Master's poisonous smoke ball, so they didn't dare to rush into the battle rashly."
Pang Zhenbei immediately said: "Yes, it must be! Thanks to the Taoist priest, let's see how those Pitz national dogs can become arrogant in the future!"
Listening to the two complimenting Chai Yan, Jimo Qiao also became proud and said: "That's how awesome my senior brother is! Right, senior brother?"
Chai Yan shook his head and smiled, then changed the subject and asked, "By the way, why don't you see General Fan?"
Pang Zhenbei said: "Oh, it's such a Taoist priest. The second prince sent a letter saying that Mo Fengcheng will send us a donation of money today, so General Fan went out to pick up people early in the morning."
"Mo Fengcheng? Raising money?" Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were both curious.
Zhan Pu saw that Chai Yan and Jimo Qiao were not very familiar with the situation, so he immediately explained the relationship between Mo Fengcheng and the second prince's concubine.
"I see."
After Chai Yan understood the situation, he immediately understood. It seemed that Ahudala did not ask for military expenses from the king, so he not only paid for it himself, but also asked his wife's family members to raise money for the Luna Army. It was enough to say that.
Tried my best.
Just as he was talking, a soldier from the Luna Army ran over, clasped his fists and reported: "Report to General Pang, General Zhanpu, General Fan has returned to camp now!"
Pang Zhenbei immediately asked: "Have everyone in Mo Feng City received it?"
The soldier replied: "I have received the message back to the general, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince has also arrived. General Fan means to ask one of the two generals to come over and greet him."
"Okay, I'll go there then!" Pang Zhenbei said: "General Zhanpu, I'll leave this place to you first."
Zhan Pu said cheerfully: "Okay, go ahead."
The soldier then turned to Chai Yan: "Taoist Master, General Fan also said that if it is convenient for Taoist Master, I hope you can come with us."
Chai Yan said: "Okay, let's go together."
With that said, Chai Yan looked at Jimo Qiao, and just as he was about to speak, Jimo Qiao said first, "I won't talk nonsense, I'm just going to have a look."
Chai Yan smiled helplessly and had no choice but to acquiesce.
............................
Not long after, Chai Yan, Jimo Qiao and Pang Zhenbei descended from Fangcheng and arrived at the Chinese army's tent.
There were many people in the tent at this time, including the military generals and officials from Mofeng City who were responsible for transporting the collected money, as well as the second prince Ahudala and his party. As the host, Fan Xingwang was greeting everyone warmly, expressing his gratitude in every word.
.
Seeing Chai Yan walk into the tent, Ahudala immediately stood up to greet him, and enthusiastically introduced Chai Yan to the people in Mo Feng City.
After Chai Yan politely dealt with them one by one, he was pulled by Ahudal to sit together, and Jimo Qiao stood behind Chai Yan.
Chai Yan smiled and asked, "Second Prince, why are you here too?"
Ahudala said seriously: "Of course I have to come. This is the money collected from Mo Feng City. It is the wish of my father-in-law and his people. I have to see the money delivered to General Fan's hands with my own eyes. In addition, my father said
The Treasury also has to keep a record of the incoming and outgoing, and I just happened to take care of that..."
Chai Yan nodded and asked again: "Second Prince, how much is the total amount of money raised?"
Ahudala said seriously: "A total of thirty-one thousand two hundred taels! In addition, there are some food and military supplies, such as armor, bows and arrows, swords and shields, etc..."
Jimo Qiao stood aside and couldn't help but muttered after hearing this number: "It's only thirty thousand taels?"
Jimo Qiao's words immediately made Ahudala a little embarrassed.
Chai Yan hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Second Prince, please ignore her. The little girl is ignorant."
After saying that, Chai Yan glared at Jimo Qiao: "If you talk more, I will sew your mouth shut!"
