Yan Shiwei looked at her, smiling without saying anything. She said, "Listen to me, I'm trying to make a magic weapon. Give me two days and we'll talk about it after I make it."
He raised an eyebrow: "What magical weapon?"
She described it in a low voice, and Yan Shiwei pondered for a moment before saying, "It's mainly because it's windy tonight, and it's blowing from the west."
Yan Shiyue thought about it before she understood what he meant. The boiled chili water would have a strong smell, and she was afraid that Da Xi would be aware of it if he could take advantage of the wind direction, so she could avoid it as much as possible.
She said, "Then just boil it and leave it there. It won't go bad."
Yan Shiwei didn't say anything, just said: "As soon as it's done, no matter what time it is, tell someone to notify me."
Yan Shiyue nodded.
She didn't know that the camp had boiled chili water that night as planned, but the chili was so smelly like leeks that could be smelled for ten miles in the wind. Therefore, the raiding army still smelled it. Although they didn't know what it was, they could guess that it was the "chili" reported by the spies.
So the commander of the great raid thought, “Meh, haha, we know you’re going to launch a surprise attack.” He deployed his troops and prepared for the attack. However, after waiting for a whole night, the enemy did not attack…
After waiting for another night, the other side still did not attack.
...
...
This situation is probably similar to the situation where one is strong at first, then weak, and finally exhausted...
After this battle, when the Dayan army learned about this matter, they really had to believe in their own "Empress Fu".
This is a later story.
At this time, the people in Yue Workshop were working overtime.
Soon, the first batch of fierce fire oil cabinets were produced. Yan Shiyue thought the name was difficult to pronounce, so he changed it to "fire-throwing cabinet".
She told Yan Shiwei immediately.
After a while, Duke Dai, Yan Chengyuan and Yan Shiwei came over with their personal soldiers and quietly found a place to conduct experiments.
The principle was clear and it succeeded at once. Late at night, the visual effect was even more shocking. A flame suddenly spurted out, and in a flash, it rushed out for several feet. The power was so astonishing that even Yan Shiyue himself was a little shocked.
The three of them were silent for a long while.
Then the Duke of Dai sighed in a low voice: "With this magical object, why fear a large-scale attack!"
He turned around and glanced at Yan Shiyue with a complicated expression. At this point, he could no longer talk about rules and duties... Maybe some people in this world cannot be restrained by rules.
Yan Shiyue had no idea about their previous dispute, so she just said, "I also asked someone to make a smaller one, using a copper gourd instead of this oil cabinet, which is convenient to carry."
She also asked someone to demonstrate it.
She doesn't need to worry about the rest.
Yan Shiwei found another group of craftsmen and continued to work day and night in the workshop. In front, the atmosphere became tense again, and then one night a few days later, it started completely.
The difference is that this time, she has a strong sense of participation.
And this time, she had something to do instead of just waiting.
She continued to take people to make alcohol.
At dawn, Yan Shiwei sent someone to tell her that the Dayan army had won a great victory.
When she went to the military camp again, the soldiers were filled with joy. They were not only happy about the victory, but the most important thing was that their own side suffered very little losses, while the enemy was almost wiped out. This was completely different from winning a hard-fought battle!
Being alive with all your limbs intact is always something worth celebrating during wartime.
The Dayan army made a brief rest and then pursued the victory.
Daxu was originally just an island country, but now it is across the sea and the area it occupies is less than ten thousand miles, a truly tiny place.
However, the terrain of this area of 10,000 li is extremely complex, with undulating mountains and gullies everywhere, and some places are like a maze. Otherwise, it would not have been occupied by Hayato for nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, even though the Dayan army had magical weapons in their hands, they did not dare to pursue too closely and could only travel thirty to fifty miles a day.
Once the army leaves, it will be difficult to get any news, and the people at the rear can only wait with their necks stretched out.
A day later, someone came back and said that all the people from Yue Workshop would be transferred there, and then his personal soldiers came over and asked her if she wanted to follow.
This was obviously used as a reassurance to her.
Yan Shiyue was overjoyed. He immediately packed up his things and followed with his men.
Huo Qijing came to greet her again and said, "The order was sent by the Duke of Dai. General Yan said that if you don't want to, you can go back now."
"Of course I am willing!" Yan Shiyue said, "Didn't you say that you hope to drive Hayato out of Dayan? I must be with you to witness this great historical moment with my own eyes!"
Huo Qijing looked at her with a smile, then immediately stretched out his hand. The two of them shook hands, and the desolate scene before them suddenly became charming.
The next moment, the two men let go of each other's hands, galloped on their horses, and soon entered the camp.
Yan Shiwei hurried over and looked at her with a gloomy face.
She kept the original sixteen dragon guards by her side, and Yan Shiwei allocated another two hundred personal soldiers to her, telling her that if anything went wrong, she should just ignore everything and escort her back.
Yan Shiyue smiled and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I am Empress Fu! I will be fine, and all of our Great Yan Army will be fine."
“What Empress Fu!” Yan Shiwei gritted his teeth and his cheeks tightened: “I’m not saying that you are not Empress Fu, but we are at war! This old man, he’s the one who says he doesn’t like me, and he’s the one who keeps clinging to me! Tens of thousands of border troops are not enough for him to command, so he brings a little girl here…”
“Don’t be angry!” Yan Shiyue pulled his sleeve, shaking it to comfort him: “I am still grateful to him. You are all on the battlefield. If you ask me to wait in the back, I will be anxious to death! I want to stay with you!”
Yan Shiwei was very impressed by this. She spoke softly and coquettishly for a while, and his expression gradually improved. He just said, "Remember, if anything happens, you leave! Promise me!"
"Don't worry!" Yan Shiyue said seriously, "I will!"
She looked at him steadily with a pair of clear eyes: "But big brother, I believe we don't have to retreat. Our Great Yan Army will surely move forward and be invincible!"
The Dayan army advanced all the way, and the Daxi army was defeated.
Although there were ambushes along the way, there was no real resistance. They traveled like this for more than half a month.
It was already June, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. The weather in Xuzhou was very humid. These people marched under the scorching sun and could not take off their armor. It was okay for those on horseback, but the infantry were sweating profusely.
This time, Yan Shiyue prepared in advance and asked people to prepare medicinal materials early and prepare a batch of Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
Huoxiang Zhengqi Water is a must-have in every household in later generations. It is made of eleven medicinal materials including Patchouli, Angelica dahurica, Cibotium bark, Poria cocos, etc. Patchouli and Perilla leaves are chopped up, and the other medicinal materials are crushed into coarse powder. The powders are mixed and added with 45% ethanol. Seal and soak for three days. Stir three to four times a day. Slowly percolate according to the percolation method under the fluid extract and extract agent items, collect the percolated liquid, and finally add 45% ethanol to mix well.
This prescription was invented in the Song Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that it is very effective for treating heatstroke in such humid and miasma-infected areas.
