Yiyun Village.

When everyone saw the barbarians retreating, they cheered. This time they didn't suffer any casualties and didn't even have to put in any effort to make the aggressive barbarian soldiers flee in embarrassment.

"Drinking beer and burping, the barbarians retreated. It was like a dream."

"Yeah, I originally thought these barbarians were no more powerful than this."

"The boss is really foresighted. He built a wall. It's funny to see these barbarians running around like headless flies."

“…”

The bandits talked excitedly, never thinking that fighting could be so easy.

Chang Wei patted Sun Gan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it, Coach Sun? The boss must have his reasons for asking us to drink, don't you think so?"

Sun Gan felt a little embarrassed. When Pei Yun asked him to drink, he was the only one who objected. Everyone else obeyed unconditionally. Would this leave a bad impression on the boss?

I swear to God, I am really doing this for everyone's good. Who would drink so much when their army is facing a war?

"Boss, I..."

Sun Gan was a little nervous, Pei Yun smiled and said, "Don't take it personally, you are right, I just came up with the idea of drinking, mainly to use the wine bottle as a Molotov cocktail."

"Boss, was that fire the Samadhi True Fire?"

The bald man came closer. He had never seen such a powerful flame. It was obviously just a small piece of cotton swab that was lit, but it caused a huge fire instantly when it was thrown down, and it could even burn the armor of the barbarians. This was definitely not an earthly fire.

Pei Yun was already used to the bald man's imagination, "If you say so, then so be it."

He was too lazy to explain why the rattan armor was afraid of fire.

In addition, the beer bottles need to be stored. Pei Yun thought the beer bottles he had drunk before took up space, so he asked the mall to recycle them. Now it seems that he needs to prepare some.

"It's time for dinner."

At this moment, He Niang's voice was heard, and the bandits came down from the wall and prepared to start eating.

But when I smelled the meat, I couldn't help but think of the roasted barbarians outside, and I suddenly felt a little nauseous. This was the smell when the barbarians were burned by fire.

Pei Yun bought some beer and asked everyone to drink it. He was not sure whether the barbarians would come again, so he took some precautions.

…

While the people in Yiyun Village were eating meat and drinking wine, the barbarian soldiers were also having dinner.

They camped in a deserted village and searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time before finding some Guanyin soil, which made Chi Wushu so angry that he started cursing.

This is too poor, they even have to eat dirt.

What's going on with Jingchao? Don't they care about it? Although their tribes are poor, they haven't fallen to the point of eating dirt.

They set up a pot and poured the collected grass roots, tree barks and brown rice into it. These brown rice were found when they broke through the border town. After the border town, they never found rice again.

In comparison, the wild vegetable cakes found from the officers and soldiers were already considered good food.

Chi Wushu suddenly wondered if it was a mistake to come to Jingchao to plunder. The food here was worse than what their tribe ate. At least they were in the deep mountains and forests, and could hunt small animals from time to time.

But since they have come here, they certainly cannot go back empty-handed. Jingchao's cloth, silk and brocade are of great attraction to them.

Of course, the main reason was that he had not seen the life of the gentry, otherwise he would not have such an idea.

After the grass root and tree bark porridge was ready, the barbarians rinsed the previously cooked meat in hot water before starting to eat.

"You eat."

Chi Wushu threw a piece of meat to Liu Xiao. This man was still useful and he couldn't be allowed to starve.

Liu Xiao took the meat and stuffed it into his mouth. He knew what kind of meat it was, but he didn't care. He had eaten vegetable meat before, so he didn't feel disgusted.

These days, cannibalism is a default unspoken rule.

For the gentry, the most common meat they ate during years of famine was human flesh.

As soon as the meat entered his mouth, Liu Xiao knew it was woman's flesh. He thought that these barbarians must have caused harm to many villages along the way. He only hoped that the escaped officers and soldiers would return to Qingyang County and inform the captain, and the captain would send troops to rescue him.

Although Chi Wushu said that he would release him as long as he built a siege weapon, Liu Xiao felt that it was unlikely.

After dinner, Liu Xiao ordered the soldiers to start cutting down trees, and then asked to go back to Ruifeng County to get tools and some materials.

Chi Wushu asked Wutu Meng to escort Liu Xiao back with 200 barbarian soldiers.

Early the next morning, Liu Xiao returned with tools and materials and began to teach the barbarians how to make siege weapons.

Chi Wushu watched carefully from the side. They, the barbarians, did not know how to make siege weapons. To attack the border, they either climbed up with bone claws or used simple stairs.

Or they would lift tree trunks to ram the city gates. When the Southern Barbarians were trading with the Jing Dynasty, the barbarian merchants wanted to learn this technique, but the Jing Dynasty had strict control and not many people in the community knew how to do it, so they never did it.

Now that Liu Xiao has this technology, Chi Wushu thinks that he is a talented person. As for promising to let him go if he makes siege weapons, how could that be possible?

When Chi Wushu decided to leave, he brought Liu Xiao back to the tribe, so that he could become a hero. Maybe the chief would be happy to reward him, and the status of the Chi Ni tribe could be further improved.

As he was thinking, Chi Wushu's gaze towards Liu Xiao became much softer. Liu Xiao, who was making a siege device, noticed Chi Wushu's gaze, looked up, and saw that there was something wrong in the other party's eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.

The other person's eyes were no longer as ferocious as before, and seemed to have some other meaning.

This made Liu Xiao a little alert. He thought that this barbarian might have taken a fancy to him. He didn't dare to turn his butt towards Chi Wushu anymore, but changed direction without making any sound.

…

Day 3.

Liu Xiao made siege weapons, a catapult and a battering ram, but they were very simple and could not be compared with the catapults and battering rams in the army, but they were already excellent for the barbarians.

Chi Wushu was overjoyed and personally operated the catapult, which was able to throw stones more than a hundred meters away.

Liu Xiao said: "The conditions are limited. A real slingshot can be launched 500 steps away."

Chi Wushu was very satisfied, but soon thought of another problem, "This battering ram needs to be close to the city gate to hit it. It is not easy to deal with the enemy's fire attack. What can you do?"

Liu Xiao frowned. He had also seen the Molotov cocktail the day before yesterday. It was indeed powerful. The battering ram was made of wood. If the other party threw that powerful bottle again, it would definitely catch fire.

Not only that, the barbarians pushing the ram would definitely be burned to death by the fire, so we had to find a way to stop the opponent's fire attack.

Liu Xiao didn't really care about these barbarians. He wished they were all dead. But now he was being controlled by them and he had to show enough value.

Otherwise, if the barbarians were burned to death because they let the battering rams break down the door, what would Chi Wushu do if he was held responsible?

There was some ill intention in Chi Wushu's eyes just now. Although he would not kill him, a beating was inevitable. In order to avoid physical pain, he had to find a way.

It has to be said that Liu Xiao's military skills are still very strong. After just thinking for a moment, he came up with a solution.
