This Pitz soldier came out secretly to buy wine, so he didn't dare to chat with Chun Niang for too long. He paid for a few jars of wine and left in a hurry.【】
After the man left, Chai Yan and Yu Tie came out of the backyard.
As soon as Chun Niang saw Chai Yan, she apologized to him: "Young Master, I'm really sorry. I didn't come up with any excuse just now, so... I just said that. Don't mind, Young Master."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "The boss lady doesn't need to apologize. You can let us avoid the Pitz people, and we haven't thanked you yet."
Chun Niang waved her hands and said, "Young master, don't say that. We are all from Muyue country, so we should."
Chai Yan didn't speak, just nodded with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Yan took out a piece of silver, put it on the table and said, "Madam boss, this is the money for the meal, please keep it."
When Chun Niang saw that it was ten taels of silver ingots, she immediately waved her hands and said, "No, no, this is too much, too much..."
Chai Yan said: "Madam boss, apart from the meal money, the rest is to thank you for reminding us, otherwise we wouldn't know anything and still wander around, maybe someone would be killed."
After saying that, Chai Yan stopped talking to Chun Niang and left with Yu Tie.
After Chun Niang watched Chai Yan and Yu Tie leave, she immediately returned to the house and grabbed a dozen silver ingots, put it in her mouth and bit it twice, and then her face turned into a smiling flower.
After Chai Yan left Xiaozi Village, he immediately returned to the resting place of the elite team.
Pang Zhenbei was dozing off. When he heard that Chai Yan and Yu Tie were back, he rushed over immediately.
"Taoist Master, how are you? Have you heard anything?" Pang Zhenbei was extremely concerned.
While asking questions, Cheng Jiu also rushed over after hearing the news.
Chai Yan sat down next to a big tree, and while drinking water, he told them what he had learned about Xiaozi's village.
"Taoist Master, now that it's confirmed, let's set off to Yuanhe Fort as soon as it gets dark." Pang Zhenbei couldn't wait any longer.
Cheng Jiu nodded, he had the same view.
"Okay, let's set off immediately when it gets dark." Chai Yan gave the instruction.
.................................................
The woods in Xiaozi Mountain are extremely quiet, and everyone is quietly waiting for dark, but Qingyuan Pass is a different scene.
Starting from Chen time, the people of Pitz launched an offensive, continuing to use trebuchets to suppress the tactic of adding a sea of people, and filled the mountains with all their might.
However, the strength of the Luna Army's counterattack this time was very different, because the kerosene had already been transported, and the soldiers of the Luna Army could handle it calmly in the face of the charging of the wooden curtain chariots and trammel vehicles.
Heng Saer was supervising the battle in front of the formation. When he saw the kerosene being dropped from above the Qingyuan Pass, his heart suddenly sank and his brows quickly furrowed.
The kerosene caused Hengsar to temporarily stop the attack, and he returned to his tent in an extremely depressed mood to think about countermeasures.
Bangluo said worriedly: "General, what should we do now? The Muyue people have strong fire oil again, and our people can't attack at all."
Heng Saer said nothing and kept walking back and forth in the tent, thinking about how to deal with it...
But after much deliberation, Heng Saer couldn't come up with a good idea, so he felt even more irritable.
Bangluo was also anxious and couldn't help but curse: "Damn Muyue pigs, if they hadn't occupied the steep pass, they would have died countless times."
Heng Saer walked back and forth two more times, and suddenly thought of a clever idea, and said in surprise: "I have it!"
Bangluo was looking forward to it and immediately asked: "General, what have you thought of?"
Heng Saer said: "Give me the order, let the trebuchet change the projection height, throw sacks of earth and rocks at the bottom of Qingyuan Pass with all its strength, and continue to build up the mountain of earth."
Bangluo immediately clapped his hands and said, "General, this is a wonderful idea! It's simply wonderful!"
Heng Saer said seriously: "Stop flattering me here, and hurry up and send the order!"
"As ordered, general." Bangluo saluted immediately and trotted out of the camp.
After one stick of incense, the ammunition of dozens of trebuchets turned into eight sacks of earth and rock tied together in groups.
Soon after, these sacks of earth and rocks were launched by the trebuchet. They hit the rock wall of Qingyuan Pass one after another, and then rebounded and fell below the pass.
Nothing could be seen at first, but as the number of sacks increased, they not only suppressed the burning kerosene under the pass, but also significantly increased the height of the mountain.
Although the speed of the mountain building has slowed down, the important thing is that this method will not kill the soldiers. It only consumes the physical strength of the soldiers and the wear and tear of the trebuchet.
Bangluo specially ran to the front of the formation very close to Qingyuan Pass to observe the effect, and then ran back to Hengsar with great joy.
"General, this is a great idea. The people of Muyue have nothing to do with us, they can only stare at us!" Bang Luo said.
Heng Saer looked at the top of Qingyuan Pass and whispered: "Fan Xingwang, just wait for me, we will meet soon!"
In the following time, dozens of trebuchets never stopped. When one group of soldiers operating the trebuchets got tired, they would be replaced by another group. In short, the trebuchets must rotate continuously.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed behind Heng Sar, knelt on one knee and said: "General, there is an urgent message from the rear."
Bang Luo immediately walked over, took the small bamboo tube containing the letter, and handed it to Heng Sal.
When Heng Saer opened it and read it, his face suddenly became troubled.
"General, has something happened?" Bang Luo asked tentatively.
Heng Saer said: "Teacher Beida sent a letter saying that he will leave to return to the capital tomorrow."
"Lord Beda is really leaving?" Bangluo asked in shock.
"Yes..." Heng Saer said: "Teacher Beida will continue to buy time for us even if he returns to China!"
After saying that, Heng Saer thought about it for a moment, and then said to Bangluo: "Get ready, I have to rush back to Yuanhe Fort tonight to see the teacher off!"
Heng Saer thought that the mountains had not yet been built and a comprehensive offensive could not be launched, so there was no problem in returning to Yuanhe Fort.
"Yes, General, my subordinates will go and prepare immediately." Bang Luo accepted the order and left.
........................................
Qingyuan Pass, on Fangcheng Trail.
Fan Xingwang, Zhan Pu, Jimo Qiao and others were watching the trebuchet throwing sacks of earth and rocks at them, but there was nothing they could do to stop it.
"Wha--poof!"
At this time, another group of sacks filled with earth and rocks flew over and landed heavily at the bottom of the pass.
Jimo Qiao looked worried and said: "General Fan, this is not going to work. The terrain below is getting higher and higher, and soon the siege engines of the Pitzer people will be able to rush up."
"Miss Mo Yu, Fan understands your mood, but the day of head-to-head confrontation will eventually come!" Fan Xing said.
Jimo Qiao raised his head and looked far north, praying secretly in his heart: "Brother-in-law, you must succeed and come back soon!"
"Ah sneeze!"
In the forest of Xiaozi Mountain, Chai Yan, who was taking a nap under a tree, suddenly sneezed.
