Chapter 165 Where does she get her confidence from!
"Prefect Wu, I won't say any more polite words. I'm bringing back over 400 people from Shahe and Shanghe villages. You have to make sure they're settled. You can't just let them sleep on the streets tonight, right?"
Magistrate Wu had an expression that said, "Just kill me!" He asked, "How many people are being asked to settle down in the middle of the night? Isn't this asking for their lives?"
"There are so many people, there won't be enough room even in a hotel?"
"Is it okay to stay at the post station?"
"No, the post station is outside the city. They just saved their lives from Simon's soldiers. They would rather go back to their own village than stay at the post station."
Magistrate Wu wiped his face fiercely. He was a little sleepy after eating, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately after this.
"Then, how many should be put in my family and how many in the chancellor's family?"
"It's up to you. Anything is fine except the Main Street Inn."
Bai Li threw the bag to Magistrate Wu and left with ease.
She suddenly remembered a sentence she had heard somewhere: As a government official, if you cannot help the people, you might as well go home and herd cattle.
When she returned to the barracks, Li Dazhuang was waiting for her.
"Marshal Bai, a letter has arrived from Major General Nangong.
Laozi and Simon conspired to attack Great Zhou simultaneously. He was ordered to lead his troops back to rescue Qianxi, so our Great Zhou can only save itself before the imperial court's reinforcements arrive."
"So that's how it is. Lao and Simon are truly vicious, actually wanting to destroy our Great Zhou in one fell swoop!"
"They have harbored evil intentions for a long time. Now they think the time has come and are willing to violate the treaty and turn against the Great Zhou!"
"I just don't believe they can still jump up and down with Bai Li here!"
Li Dazhuang was shocked by Bai Li's bold words.
No, the total strength of the Great Zhou is only 100,000, scattered across the fortresses. Laos and Simon can attack any of them without any difficulty and march straight in...
Where does she get her confidence from!
"Send a letter to the Qianxi military camp, instructing their arsenal to deliver eight-ox crossbows and repeating crossbows to various fortresses in the Great Zhou within ten days. As for the specific quantity, ask Nangong Min."
Bai Li didn't want to care about these details, she was just responsible for the arrangements.
If she had to do everything herself, even if she was split into eight hundred pieces, it would not be enough.
According to the previous productivity of the Arsenal, in addition to those sent to Yuanzhou, there should be more than a thousand Eight-Ox Crossbows now, which can be distributed to more than a dozen fortresses of various sizes. Each place can get more than a hundred crossbows. If handled properly, it is enough to deal with the enemy.
But this is not enough. She has to prepare more things and distribute them to various fortresses to scare these bastards to death.
"What's the situation on Nangong Min's side? Be sure to report to me in a timely manner."
"Simon was humiliated and demoralized this time. When he returned, he sent a group of soldiers to the village to vent his anger, but we wiped them out again.
It seems that tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night."
Bai Li left after she finished speaking, as she still had to make some arrangements.
She had hoped to let her cavalry have a good sleep, but it looked like that was not going to happen.
Simon and Laos are determined to split the Great Zhou into two halves!
In the Qianxi military camp, her grandmother, mother, aunt, cousin, and sister were there. If Nangong Min was defeated... the consequences would be disastrous.
Bai Li's heart flew back to Qianxi, but her reason told her not to.
If she left, Yuanzhou would immediately become Simon's.
A quarter of the territory of the Great Zhou was occupied. She could only save her family by returning to Qianxi, but what would happen after saving them?
The country will be lost, and without a country, how can there be a home?
So there was no point for her to go back now.
Damn Laos, damn Simon!
If she were to travel to this backward ancient time, she would want to eat the food cooked by Aunt Bai, listen to the nagging of her grandmother and mother, and the quarrels of her cousins. If she felt like exercising, she could even go to her father, brothers and uncles to have a good "competition".
She can't even live such a simple, stable and comfortable life.
Since you won't let me live a good life, then forget about it. Anyone who breaks into the border of the Great Zhou will leave their life here!
Bai Li urgently assembled the cavalry, plus the men of the Bai family, including the young and strong people from Wangjia Village brought back by Bai Zongren, a total of 731 people.
At present, this is the only force she has at her disposal.
Li Dazhuang's 10,000 defenders were distributed in every corner of Yuanzhou City, each with his own position, and no one could move.
Just imagine what it would be like for a few hundred people to face off against an enemy force of 200,000. No normal person would dare to think about it, but unfortunately Bai Li is not a normal person.
"Today, the Simon soldiers suffered heavy losses. They will surely attack tonight. We must defend the city walls well."
It doesn’t matter whether others believe in her or not, as long as the cavalry believes in her.
More than 700 people listened quietly to her arrangements, and no one said a word during the entire process.
She distributed more than 700 people to every corner of the city wall, each of them holding a bow and crossbow, and a few "peanuts".
She stuffed these things back to Yuan Mo, which she had originally given them, and together with the things in her space, they came in handy now.
"One of these can blow up a group of people. You have to throw it far away. Don't throw it where your companions are. Use it sparingly."
Bai Li explained in detail when to use it and how to use it.
Everyone took it and put it away with great care.
I was both surprised and curious. How could there be such a powerful hidden weapon? Could a small peanut blow up a group of people?
The ancients did not understand firearms, so they naturally classified them as hidden weapons.
The Bai family was more receptive, while the cavalry and the new recruits from Wangjia Village were all filled with curiosity and amazement.
What the Bai family thought in their hearts was that their Bai Li was really amazing and could always come up with life-saving things at important moments.
I don't know where she got these things.
Although everyone had question marks on their faces, no one asked where these things came from.
Bai Li nodded in satisfaction at their appearance and said to the injured cavalrymen who refused to rest, "Pairs of two should form groups and take care of the wounded."
"Understood, Marshal Bai."
"You all did a great job, especially the female cavalrymen. You performed very well today. Are you mentally prepared to face close combat again?"
Wu Lanzhi and others stepped forward and shouted back, "We're ready, Marshal, please rest assured!"
"That's good. You are all role models for women. In the future, you will have a place in the military merit book of the Great Zhou."
"Thank you, Marshal, for your cultivation!"
"Okay, now it's time. You can still take a nap for half an hour after finding your seats. After half an hour, you must wake up immediately."
"yes!"
Night falls and darkness covers the entire earth.
In Yuanzhou City, the patrol soldiers and sentries seem to be relaxed and at ease, but in fact they are loose on the outside but tense on the inside.
"Bang Bang Bang!"
The night watchman in the city struck a gong, and immediately countless heads appeared on the city wall.
Bai Li saw through the telescope that a group of people in black clothes slid down from the top of the mountain with ropes, avoided three lines of fortifications, and moved towards the city wall.
