Chapter 358 It’s Too Late
The eagle shouted excitedly at being able to fly in the dark.
If there were any of its kind, it would probably be so proud that it would be at a loss!
The eagle flapped its wings hard to increase its speed. As night fell, a ball of white light flew quickly in the dark sky.
If someone saw a big bird carrying two people, they would definitely think it was a manifestation of the Bodhisattva. But who were those two gods on the bird's back?
The eagle was full of energy tonight. Bai Li had just given it a whole raw pheasant. After eating it, it felt full of strength.
Passing by a valley, Ji Huanan accidentally looked up and shouted excitedly, "Look, look! It's Marshal Bai!"
Bai Zongren was in the tent, and when he came out he was gone!
"Are you sure that's Li'er?"
"It's absolutely true! That giant bird nearly put a bloody hole in my head. I'd recognize it even if it turned into ashes!"
Bai Zongren looked at the direction Ji Huanan pointed and murmured, "Where did Li'er come from and where is she going..."
"No, they are coming from the direction of Weinan and heading towards Simon. Could it be that she is going to support the Emperor?"
"Well, Simon is busy over there, so she just went to take a look, right?"
Going to support from thousands of miles away, that's just a fantasy, right?
"Flutter!"
A carrier pigeon flew over, and the soldier who specialized in raising carrier pigeons immediately gave an order, and the pigeon landed.
After a while, a soldier came to report, "General Bai, there's a letter from the Emperor!"
Bai Zongren took it and looked at it in the light of the torch, and immediately smiled.
"Haha! It was really Li'er who went to save the emperor.
Now that the Li army has been badly defeated, the Emperor is preparing to return to the capital and has ordered us to immediately change our route and head to Qiannan to support the Li army."
"Great! The Emperor has resolved the crisis. We can now have a good fight with the Mongols!"
Ji Huanan became excited. He had never gotten any good results against the Mongolian Kingdom before, but this time it was different.
First, let them taste the Eight Ox Crossbows and let them know why the flowers are so red!
"I just saw your father and the others!"
"What!"
The night wind was a bit strong, and Nangong Min's voice was blown away from behind.
"I said, I just saw your dad and the others!"
Nangong Min had no choice but to speak loudly into her ear.
Bai Li: "Oh, you almost deafened my ears!"
Namgoong Min...
"I saw that too, but they'll be changing the route soon!"
"How do you know?"
"I guessed it!"
Bai Ligege laughed, Nangong Min's warm breath blew into her ears, it was so itchy!
A few hours later, Bai Li and his companion landed on the city wall of Qiangzhou.
At this time, it was almost dawn, the darkest period before dawn.
The soldiers defending the city were already familiar with the eagle, and they came back with a ball of white light, so they could see it from afar and naturally would not make a mistake.
The city defending general He Daniu came to see him hurriedly.
"Marshal Bai, Major General Nangong, you're back!"
"Well, what's going on?"
Bai Li asked.
"No, everything is fine."
"Very good, prepare enough food and supplies tomorrow, and march towards Simon the day after tomorrow!"
"yes!"
As soon as Bai Li returned to the government office, he ordered the barracks kitchen and the government office kitchen to start preparing dry food, and Sima's soldiers to prepare hay for the horses.
Nangong Min went to the arsenal to see how the spears, swords, and bows and arrows that were being made day and night were progressing.
The emperor's lack of ammunition and food this time sounded a wake-up call for him. Food and supplies are the most important during a march. The longer the battle line is, the more difficult it is to supply supplies.
You have to prepare enough weapons and bows and arrows to be absolutely safe.
In addition, we need to bring a few craftsmen who can make bows and arrows, so that we can make bows and arrows anytime and anywhere.
So as not to run out of ammunition and food and be controlled by others.
Bai Li arranged everything outside and dived into the space.
The food brought by the army will eventually run out, and if they can't find food at that time, they will be in a passive position.
There is so much food in her space, there is no reason for her to fight on an empty stomach.
Even if it is impossible to feed all the soldiers, we can always secretly add some food to the military rations to prevent them from starving to death.
Bai Li looked at the ten large sacks of flour he had carried out and began to regret it.
There are so many, she couldn’t finish them even if she worked for three days and three nights!
Who told me to be greedy? I always want to do more, for fear that my people will go hungry.
Since you have already taken on the responsibility, just do it.
But it was too difficult to do it alone, so she pulled the golden retriever back from the field, took out a pair of clean rubber gloves and put them on it, coaxing it to do the hard work.
"Golden Retriever, you're amazing. You learned it so quickly. Yes, just like that..."
With Bai Li's help, Jinmao not only learned how to knead dough, mix stuffing, and make dumplings, but also learned how to roll out noodles and make pancakes.
In the end, the man and the monkey were so tired that they didn't want to move their fingers anymore before they finished making the flour.
Bai Li took a short break and then had to cheer up again to steam buns and make egg pancakes.
Golden Retriever was not idle either. He took off his gloves and helped to make the fire.
After everything was done, Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the baskets and backpacks filled with buns and pancakes.
That's all I have, and I can only give one to each of the tens of thousands of soldiers. It makes me feel so powerless just thinking about it.
There were too many people and there was little she could do. It was difficult to take out the food in the space.
Alas! It was like begging with a golden bowl in hand. She had fully understood the meaning of this sentence!
Three days passed in a flash, and the 55,000-strong army was ready to go.
Bai Li was wearing a marshal's uniform, and the armor made her look heroic and imposing.
Nangong Min was wearing a specially made military uniform, and his handsome face was majestic and solemn.
The two men rode one horse, one black and one white, and they looked so harmonious and well-matched.
Bai Li first gave some encouragement before the battle, which gave the soldiers a boost of energy before ending.
"Set off!"
Bai Li raised his arm and shouted, the horn sounded, the military flags fluttered, and the 50,000-strong army set off, marching towards the Simon Palace in a mighty manner.
A few days later, the army arrived at the capital of Simon.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is bad! Bai Li is leading a large army towards the palace!"
When the messenger came to report, the eunuch hurried to the inner hall to report.
Because I was running too fast, or maybe I was too scared, I didn't even notice that my shoes had fallen off.
"Where's the Regent?"
"Your Majesty, the Regent is leading the troops in the front, but..."
After a moment of panic, Asam slowly calmed down.
He had already anticipated today's outcome, but this day came too quickly.
"Give orders to everyone in the palace to flee for their lives. You can stay if you want, but when the Great Zhou army enters the palace, you must not resist. Simply surrender and you will save your life!"
"His Majesty!"
"If you want to live, listen to me, otherwise no one can save you!"
For the first time, and perhaps the only time, Asam exuded the aura of an emperor.
There was a murderous and decisive look between his eyebrows, and he seemed like a different person from usual.
Yu Ji stared blankly at him who had become a stranger, a complex look flashing in her eyes.
This is what her man should be like, but it's too late!
