Chapter 134 The Girl Who Hasn't Even Grown All Her Hair
"These are for you."
Bai Li carried a pile of saddles and threw them to the female soldiers. These were the ones she had just picked up from the Simons. She put them in the space and took them out when she reached the top of the mountain.
Simon: These are what you call saddles. They are well made and comfortable to sit on.
Their saddles are simply made of thick coarse cloth. They can only be regarded as a piece of thick cloth placed on the horse's back, and cannot be called saddles.
The male soldiers were fine, but the female soldiers had their inner thighs rubbed raw from running all the way. Some of them were bleeding, and the blood seeped out of their pants, but they didn't say a word. When they arrived at their destination, they immediately moved stones to set up defenses without stopping for a moment.
"There aren't enough saddles. Give them to the female soldiers first. Do you have any objections?"
"no comment!"
The male soldiers answered in unison, which made Bai Li feel relieved.
"We are thick-skinned and not as delicate as them."
"Hey, you look down on us female soldiers again, don't you?"
Gao Dani immediately jumped out and shouted with her hands on her hips.
"No, no, I was wrong. I didn't mean that. I..."
He Daniu was so anxious that his face turned red and the more he spoke, the less clear he became.
Bai Li smiled and came to his rescue, "Okay, I believe that's not what Daniel meant."
"The Marshal still understands me."
"Okay, we have to leave here quickly and go to Yuanzhou for support."
He Daniu and Luo Yang were still immersed in the shock brought to them by the telescope. They were looking around with the telescope in their hands while riding on horseback.
"Look, there are a lot of birds over there. Oh my! I even saw a bird poop!"
"Birds are so rude, they poop everywhere!"
Bai Li was speechless. She gave him the telescope just to watch birds poop?
"I saw the city wall, the city wall of Yuanzhou, it's really amazing!"
He no longer complained to He Daniu about being bored and watching birds poop. Novelty and joy occupied his entire mind.
The two were as excited as children when they got the telescope, and they wanted to count all the hairs on the ant's legs.
The other male soldiers were so greedy that they kept pestering them to see it with their own eyes and touch it with their own hands, but the two men were like dead pigs that were not afraid of boiling water. No matter how soft or hard the tactics were, they refused to give in. The male soldiers were so angry that they gritted their teeth at them, but they could do nothing about them.
The female soldiers were extremely satisfied with the new saddles. They held the reins with one hand and touched their buttocks with the other hand from time to time. Bai Li found it very funny.
Gao Dani, however, couldn't let go of the improved crossbow.
"Marshal, this crossbow is really powerful. If you shoot it from such a long distance, not only will it hit the target, but it will also take the person flying."
"Yeah, with this, Simon the bastard was shot away before he even got close to us."
"Now that our weapons are so advanced, why should we fear Simon's army?"
"Marshal, I just saw it. Simon lost about 10,000 lives in this battle, and about 3,000 were injured. This dealt a heavy blow to Simon's arrogance."
"In this way, the Simon army will be delayed for at least a few days before arriving in Yuanzhou, which is enough time for us to prepare."
Two days later.
The King of Jin was unconscious, and the assassins simply bandaged him without removing the arrow feathers.
Qu Ao led the army to retreat a hundred miles, and only ordered to set up camp when he saw that there were no pursuers.
"Pass the order down and set up camp!"
"Quick, call the military doctor!"
"Hurry up and get some hot water!"
As military orders were issued one after another, the people below became busy.
Before the tent was set up, Qu Ao found a big tree and had someone carry the King of Jin on his back and lie down against the roots.
At this time, the military doctor came with a medicine box and immediately began to treat the wound.
Qu Ao and others gathered around, extremely anxious.
"Please move aside. How can I see you if you block the light?"
Qu Ao had no choice but to leave several deputy generals of King Jin to guard nearby.
Take a few generals aside to talk.
"Give orders to count the casualties and report them."
“General, we’ve counted the casualties: 11,800 dead, 500 seriously wounded, and 2,000 slightly wounded.
Five hundred war horses were lost, and more than half of the food and supplies were lost."
Qu Ao was extremely glad for the decision he made. He divided the food and grass into two batches, one in the middle of the team and the other fifty miles behind the team, following from a distance.
If something unexpected happens in front, there will be food and supplies in the back, so we have made preparations for both scenarios.
"I thought it was a sure thing to take over the Great Zhou, but I didn't expect it to go wrong. Before I even reached Yuanzhou, I suffered a major setback.
But we haven't even seen them in person. The people of Da Zhou are so cunning!"
"It's so aggrieved! I, Simon, have never suffered such humiliation before. We must avenge this!"
"General Qu, give the order. Let me lead an urgent march of 50,000 troops to seize Yuanzhou while the Great Zhou is unprepared, to avenge the death of my brave warrior Simon!"
"The people of the Great Zhou are treacherous and cunning. They dare not confront us head-on and will only resort to underhanded tactics!"
"Wait until I lead the army to pacify Yuanzhou and give orders to these generals of the Great Zhou!"
Everyone was talking at once, excited and wanting to take revenge.
The Prince of Jin is in a coma, and the highest-ranking general now is Qu Ao, who is the regent's man.
"Enough! The fate of King Jin is uncertain, we cannot act rashly."
"General Qu!"
"This matter cannot be discussed any further. Set up camp quickly and wait until King Jin wakes up."
"promise!"
In Yuanzhou City.
Bai Li finally witnessed Li Dazhuang's stubbornness and rigidity.
On the first day they arrived in Yuanzhou, Li Dazhuang refused to believe their claim that they had killed 10,000 enemies and injured about 2,000, and that the King of Jin was seriously injured.
To him, Bai Li was just a yellow-haired girl whose hair had not even grown out yet.
In his mind, it was simply a pipe dream and a fantasy that only a few hundred of them could ambush Simon's 200,000-strong army and escape unscathed.
She simply fabricated some military achievements to establish her authority in front of the soldiers.
It was ridiculous that the emperor handed over all the military forces of the Great Zhou to her just because he had a few dreams.
It is a great shame and humiliation to ask these veterans who have fought in the battlefield to obey her orders.
However, she had the imperial edict to execute first and report later, and she also had the golden medal bestowed by the emperor, so he did not dare to act rashly.
The generals under her only looked at the military token. Once her general token was revealed, even he, the general defending the city, had to kneel down and obey orders.
Therefore, he appeared to be obedient, but often he was secretly disobeying his orders, and tried to get away with it by saying that his subordinates were not doing their job well.
"Marshal, that Li Dazhuang is truly despicable. You clearly ordered the people from several nearby villages to take refuge in the city, but he refused to accept them, claiming there weren't enough houses and the space was too cramped."
"Luo Yang, take me to find him."
"I didn't see him at the government office."
"With the enemy at the gates, where can he go?"
"Go to the barracks!"
"Neither does the barracks."
"I just don't believe it. Can he hide in his mother's belly?"
Bai Li had endured it for two days and it was really enough. It seemed that she was too easy to talk to and people were coaxing her like a child!
Bai Li had already made arrangements for the other people, so only Luo Yang was with her, who was her personal bodyguard.
The two men hurried to the government office, where several clerks were working carelessly and didn't even raise their eyelids when they saw them.
