In the next few days, Meng Qi ran from place to place, went to the Changhai River to supervise the work, inspected the digging and digging of the ditch, and at the same time urged the general Zhang Dagen to hurry up and count the gunpowder, and then went to the arsenal to check the arrow-making project of the military department Shangshu Guo Da.

Guo Da saw Meng Qi coming over and reported to Meng Qi: "Your Majesty, when we went to the Black Forest to cut wood and make arrows according to your wishes, we were stopped by the soldiers of Qu Yuguo, and we clashed with it, and there were no casualties on both sides. ”

Meng Qi nodded and said, "How is the wood prepared?" ”

"It's probably enough to make twenty arrows for you, mainly the blacksmith's arrows are still being processed overnight, because there were no such molds before, so it will take a little more time."

"Okay, twenty branches are almost there, urge that side as soon as possible." Meng Qi commanded.

"Yes."

On the sixth day, the spies from the front came to report that Qu Yuguo had gathered a large number of troops near the Black Forest, with nearly 50,000 troops, but they had no intention of attacking directly, but were just stationed next to the Black Forest, and seemed to be coercing Hirata and waiting for Hirata to confess.

Meng Qi smiled: "What do they say? ”

The spy reported truthfully: "The general on the other side released a word, let you carry the sheep bareback, and go to ask for guilt." ”

"Naked, holding a sheep?" Meng Qi was stunned.

"Yes."

"It's up to them to figure it out." Meng Qi said with a smile.

"Pass my order, we will hold our troops and wait for two more days."

"Yes."

On the eighth day, Meng Qi finally saved up enough to eat eighty degrees and exchanged it for a giant crossbow.

"Come on, push this thing, let's go to fight! Lao Tzu wants to drive the expedition in person. Meng Qi went out of the city with 20,000 troops and headed for the Black Forest.

Between the two armies, there was a big pit dug by Meng Qi, and they were far away, and no one had the intention of making the first move, just waiting.

Seeing Meng Qi leading troops to greet him, General Qu Yuguo also came out of the tent.

This general is nearly two meters tall, wearing a white battle armor, carrying a red tasseled spear, and sweating and bloody BMW under his crotch.

This is none other than the famous Qu Yuguo general 'Feng Xuechuan'.

Next to Meng Qi, Qin Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works who came to guide the ditch digging fortifications, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Feng Xuechuan in the distance and muttered, "So handsome." ”

provoked Meng Qi beside him to be depressed for a while, and he said coldly: "It's a pity that such a good pair of skins is dead." ”

Qin Zhi stuck out her tongue at Meng Qi, completely disbelieving that Meng Qi could kill Feng Xuechuan, after all, the other party had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Meng Qi only had 20,000 on his side.

"Your Majesty, what now?" General Zhang Dagen asked.

Meng Qi smiled: "Wait, it's not time yet." ”

"Timing? What timing? Qin Zhi couldn't help but ask.

"Heaven must not be divulged." Meng Qi said lightly.

As he spoke, Feng Xuechuan, the general on the other side, shouted to this side: "Listen to Pingtian Guo, I will give you another day to consider, whether to take the initiative to ask for guilt and rebuild the old good, or to be slaughtered by our 50,000 iron horsemen, you have to think about it." ”

Meng Qi raised his eyebrows, looked around and said with a smile: "Could it be that there is no third possibility?" ”

Zhang Dagen sneered: "What a big breath on the other side." ”

"yes, I have to see if there is a third possibility."

Qin Zhi could speak: "Although the troops on the other side are far superior to us, they don't seem to want to fight us, so they are not as good as us..."

"Don't talk about it, disturb the hearts of the army... You know. Meng Qi looked at Qin Zhi and said coldly.

Qin Zhi came into contact with Meng Qi's eyes, her back was cold, she thought that Meng Qi would always be gentle with her, but at this time, Meng Qi's eyes did not hide the coercion of the superior at all, which made Qin Zhi a little breathless.

At this time, she looked at Meng Qi again, feeling that she couldn't see through this man.

Feng Xuechuan and the strategist returned to the tent, sat down to rest, and said a little impatiently: "It's really overkill to fight this Pingtian country and let me come, and don't give me a move, let me retain my strength, it's better to wait for the other party to surrender, it's really a trouble." ”

"General Feng, you know the current situation of our country, every soldier is precious, and it is really not worth wasting it here, so Your Majesty will send you here to deter them, the old man guessed that when they saw you leading the troops over, it would not be long before they came to surrender with interest."

"Okay, then wait, if they do kill themselves, then I'll have to give them a ride." Feng Xuechuan's beautiful face became hideous.

The two armies again entered a situation of confrontation.

In the evening, Meng Qi calculated that the time was almost up, and suddenly instructed Zhang Dagen: "Will you provoke the other side?" ”

"How to provoke?"

"Whatever you want, let the other side take the initiative to call." Meng Qi said with a smile.

"He's good at this." Zhang Dagen turned his head and called a short soldier.

"Nicknamed the Second Cannon, his mouth is very powerful." Zhang Dagen said with a smile.

"Second Artillery, you are responsible for provoking the other side and letting them take the initiative to fight as soon as possible."

"Okay!" The dwarf soldier took the order, walked to the trench, and shouted to the opposite side:

"Listen up to the melon baby on the other side!"

This second artillery is not tall, but his voice is extremely loud, like a big man, as soon as he goes down, the soldiers on the opposite side are in a commotion, and the white-clothed general, Feng Xuechuan also walked out of the tent.

"What are you doing squatting in front of our house one by one? It's been four or five days, even a wild dog should go, is it possible that we still need to give us food? ”

When the words fell, there was even more commotion on the other side, and the beautiful man Feng Xuechuan was even more angry.

Meng Qi chuckled and said, "It's a little interesting." ”

"Vulgar." Qin Zhi said disdainfully.

The second cannon continued to mock: "You guys in white clothes, whether they are men or girls, they are ashamed to answer, and they are also named Feng Xuechuan, I think they are still called Feng Niang, haha!" ”

On the opposite side, Feng Xuechuan, the god of war, had been so insulted, he immediately brought his war horse, raised his spear, and prepared to fight.

An old man next to him admonished: "General Feng, the other party deliberately provoked our army and wanted our army to do it, and the old man was worried that there was fraud in it. ”

Feng Xuechuan smiled disdainfully and said: "There are only 20,000 horses on the other side, and they are soldiers who have not fought for many years, where is the opponent on our side, as for the pit in front of us, what does it matter, it is only half a meter, what kind of trap can there be?" ”

The strategist was stunned, he didn't quite understand the true intention of the other side, if he wanted to rely on the half-meter-deep pit in front of him to stop 50,000 horses, it was undoubtedly a fool's dream.

"This—" The strategist didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Needless to say, pass on my order, the whole army will go out and kill it!" Feng Xuechuan gave an order.

"Wait a minute, General Feng, it's better to let the soldiers explore the road first, and you and I will wait and see what happens."

"It's okay, anyway, to deal with those rabble, the 50,000 iron horsemen behind me are enough." Feng Xuechuan gave an order, and the 50,000 horses behind him immediately rushed over, mighty and terrifying.

Seeing the attack of the army on the opposite side, Qin Zhi next to him was frightened, and the general Zhang Dagen was gearing up and had already clenched the long sword at his waist.

And Meng Qi just had a faint smile on his face, looking like he was in his chest.

"Your Majesty, is there a war?" Zhang Dagen asked.

"You don't need to do anything in this battle, just watch." Meng Qi said with a smile.
