Chapter 747 Young General vs. Rich Lady 50
There are two wheels underneath the anti-aircraft gun, so it can be pushed out. Yan Changfeng couldn't wait to push the anti-aircraft gun out.
Huo Xiao said coldly: "Stop! Have you understood? The so-called artificial rainfall is to use anti-aircraft guns to deliver catalysts to the clouds at the right time and in the required dosage, so that water droplets will condense quickly around them and fall when they reach a certain volume."
"In the final analysis, it still needs certain conditions for it to rain. What you need to do is to carefully observe the celestial phenomena, find the right time, and calculate the dosage to use. Anti-aircraft guns are not for you to play with!"
"It took a lot of time for the power of the gods to send this anti-aircraft gun. You can see that these things are not easy to come by. If you dare to mess around, you will never touch the things sent by the gods again, and you will never be able to play with the tablet either."
This was like holding Yan Changfeng's lifeline, so he could only push the anti-aircraft gun back angrily, "The tablet was given to me by the gods, do you still want to steal it?"
Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why would I steal your tablet? Without electricity, it's just a piece of iron. As long as I tell the gods, I won't send you a power bank. Do you think the gods will listen to me or you?"
"The most important thing right now is to defend against the attack from the Northern Rong. Other things can be put aside. Restoring farming will take more than a day or two. It may require many rains. The other generals have their own tasks and don't have time to stare at the clouds in the sky. You are the only one with nothing to do, so I can only leave this to you."
"If you can successfully bring rain, it will be considered that you have done a great service to Pingyang City. The entire Pingyang City will remember your contribution. In the future, whenever you want something delicious or fun, I will say a few good words for you in front of the gods."
Yan Changfeng was full of fighting spirit. "Just wait, once I fire my cannon, it will rain heavily! Please call me the Rain God!"
After giving Yan Changfeng a warning and making sure that he would not do anything wrong, Huo Xiao left the Yan Mansion.
In the next two days, he took the bronze mirror with him wherever he went. Now that the water supply was sufficient, there was no need to keep the bronze mirror at the general's mansion to deliver water.
Ji Yunhuan basically kept in touch with Huo Xiao all day to understand the situation in Pingyang City and send whatever was needed.
The entire Pingyang City was filled with a tense atmosphere. Even though the people did not know that the news of food in the city had leaked out, everyone knew that this matter would not be kept secret for long.
The Northern Rong will attack the city sooner or later, the Huo family army is ready for battle, and the people are doing their jobs, all in an orderly manner.
At night, the sky became gloomy.
"Report!" A scout rushed into the general's mansion and shouted, "The Northern Rong army is approaching! The advance troops have at least 100,000 people. If they march as usual, they will attack the city tomorrow!"
Huo Xiao had expected this in his heart, and at this moment he felt as if the dust had settled, as if what was supposed to come had finally come.
"Explore again! Report again! How many reinforcements are there? How much food and fodder are there? What's the status of the troops? Explore quickly!"
"Pass the order and have all the generals gather at the North Camp. I will be there in a moment. You can go too."
The scout hurried away carrying the command flag.
"Major General! We are willing to fight the enemy together!"
The only two servants left in the mansion knelt together outside the door. Even Wenbo held a sword and tried to straighten his back, with a hint of the heroic spirit he had when he fought on the battlefield in the past.
Huo Xiao waved his hand and said, "I won't leave you behind. Go pack up and bring Chi Xiao out. Come with me to Beidaying."
The two servants looked at each other. They were still afraid that the major general would not agree. Even if the major general did not agree, they would go quietly.
After the two of them left, Wen Bo held up his sword and said sadly, "Wen Bo is old and can't help you. Even for trivial things like washing clothes and cooking, I am not as good as the cook I used to be. Thanks to the good things sent by the gods, I can eat them even if I cook them randomly. You don't despise them and always praise me."
"I can still lift the sword, so just let me go. It would be pointless to leave me alone in the general's mansion. I have to die before you, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your father when I go there."
Huo Xiao took the sword from Wen Bo's hand. The heavy sword was quite heavy, and Wen Bo's hands were shaking due to the excitement after holding it for a while.
"Almost everyone in the general's mansion is dead, with only these few left. Even the servants in the mansion know a few swordsmanship moves, so it's their duty to go to the battlefield."
"But Uncle Wen, you have to think about me too. In this huge general's mansion, you are the only elder left to me. You have been fighting with your father and your body is already injured. You have accumulated hidden injuries, and there was a famine. You are starving. You know the condition of your body very well."
"We are not at the end of our rope yet. We have the protection of the gods, and the Northern Rong people will not be able to attack us anytime soon. The longer we delay, the better it will be for us."
"I will be very careful this time and will never put myself in danger. You just wait in the mansion and guard the general's mansion and the house for me."
Wen Bo felt a little relieved, as he was afraid that Huo Xiao would disregard his life. The last time the Northern Rong attacked the city, Huo Xiao went there with the intention of risking his life. Fortunately, he survived in the end and Pingyang City was barely defended.
"I just want to keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything rash! You've already risked your life for Pingyang City once, and you almost died. Your injuries haven't healed well yet, so you must take care of yourself."
"Forget it. I won't go with you and cause more trouble, lest you still worry about me. There are bows and crossbows in the mansion. Although I am old, I can still protect myself. Go ahead."
Huo Xiao went back to his room to change his armor. The magic mirror was enshrined in the room. He planned to take the magic mirror with him to Beidaying.
"God, the Northern Rong will soon attack the city, and Xiao will be stationed in the Northern Camp. Xiao dares to take you with him. The battlefield is dangerous, but Xiao will definitely protect the bronze mirror."
Noisy singing could be faintly heard from the other side of the bronze mirror, and there was a group of people cheering and drinking, it was very lively.
The god didn't say anything. After a while, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Finally they came out. It was An Tong who helped me drink two glasses that made them quiet down. I haven't been to the bar for a long time, and my alcohol tolerance has decreased. I still need to practice more."
"I just sensed movement from the bronze mirror, so I ran out under the pretext of going to the bathroom. Even if I came out to have fun, I still brought the bronze mirror with me. Isn't that a sign of loyalty?"
"An Tong came back from abroad and organized a party. I had to come. If I didn't come out to meet people, An Tong would be worried again. You don't know, I came to the bar with a bronze mirror on my back. They were all curious about what was in my backpack. I told them it was my mother's relic, and they were considerate enough not to ask any more questions."
"If I talk to the bronze mirror in front of them again, they will definitely think I'm crazy."
Ji Yunhuan, who was a little drunk, talked a lot. It was only after he talked for a long time that he remembered the main business.
"What did you say just now? The Northern Rong attacked the city? Don't worry about the bronze mirror. It's very sturdy and won't break. Besides, I don't live in a bronze mirror. Even if the bronze mirror breaks, I'm still fine. I'm just worried that I won't be able to send you supplies in the future."
"The battlefield is dangerous. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. You need to protect yourself more. Tell me, given the current situation, are we sure we can win?"
