……

Until the second half of the night, the sound of artillery fire will cease.

In the early morning, people took to the streets to inquire about how the fighting had been last night.

The soldiers who had retreated from the front line passed in a procession, their swarthy iron armor covered with blood, and many of them were wounded.

The city's major medical centers have been open since last night, treating the wounded sent from the front.

Mu Tianming brought a lot of steel plates to the blacksmith shop to inquire about the news.

Boss Napu said in a low voice: "Shepherd, I heard that there was a big battle last night, and all the defense troops of Qingshan City pressed up, the defenders transferred from Hengshan City were reinforced, and the elite soldiers brought by the four princes to inspect the battles in each city also went up. The barbarians dispatched the red-coated cannons. ”

"Is the second line of defense held?" Mu Tianming asked.

If there is a danger of breaking the city here, the family will have to move if it is not enough.

Blacksmith Park said, "Hold on." At the critical time, the master of the martial arts alliance led the masters of the seventy-two sects to sneak attack the barbarian artillery position, paralyzing all the red-clothed cannons. Those cannons were imported from the West, with a barrel length of 3 meters, a long barrel, a thick pipe wall, a large caliber, and enough power! ”

"The redcoat cannon fires solid shells with an effective range of about 600 meters, destroying everything along the way, and it also bounces on hard ground, like stones hitting water on the water. I heard that there was a whole column of city defense troops who were reimbursed by such a solid bullet. The entire infantry regiment was penetrated! If it weren't for the leader of the martial arts alliance to bring people to the battle, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

After Boss Park finished speaking, he began to study the steel brought by Mu Tianming.

These steels are M390, AUS-8, 440C, CPM-T440V, as well as Uzi steel and aircraft carrier steel, a total of six types of steel.

These are high-tech alloy powder steel, any kind, a kitchen knife, in a treasure can be sold for two or three thousand yuan.

Any kind of weapon used to build weapons was a divine weapon that surpassed the "cadre Mo Xie" in ancient times.

Boss Park doesn't know the specific names and origins of these steels, only that they are good steel, peerless good steel!

Mu Tianming's request was to blend these six kinds together and forge them into a standard war knife. As we all know, in the field of forging, the more a variety of steel is mixed, the better the performance of the weapon that comes out.

Blacksmith Pu stroked the good steel, and said with an intoxicated expression: "These good steels can only forge fifteen hundred war knives and wrap them around me." If the city is broken, you come here and don't find me, so go to Houliuning City to find me, my house has a semicolon over there. But it's unlikely that the city will be broken, because I've heard about it...... Last night, the barbarians attacked, and after not taking it, they retreated. ”

"Retirement?" Mu Tianming groaned, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm not sure, I heard what the relationship in the army said, and I haven't confirmed it yet." Pu Blacksmith said, "The barbarian attack is fierce, and it must be impossible to suddenly retreat for no reason. ”

Mu Tianming felt that it was not necessarily a "sudden withdrawal of troops for no reason", because yesterday, he followed Shangguan Yunyu into the barbarian city and emptied a granary!

This must have given the barbarians a great shock!

First of all, they will not be able to figure out why the food disappears when the garrison is heavily guarded.

Secondly, without the support of food and grass, 200,000 troops could not stay for a day.

Third, there is a large amount of air-dried beef in the barbarian granary, and the production of these military rations cannot be completed in a short period of time, and it needs to be air-dried and dried two years ago. They want to restock in a short period of time, and it's not that easy.

When he got up in the morning, Mu Tianming checked what was in the granary that was emptied yesterday, and found that there were 40 3-meter-high grain storage tanks. Each grain storage tank has more than 40 square meters, and when counted, there are about 100 tons of grain in each grain storage tank.

And this kind of grain storage tank, there are a total of 50, that is, there are 5,000 tons of grain.

In addition, there are more than 500 tons of milk gnocchi and more than 500 tons of air-dried beef.

There were also 2,000 longbows and more than 100 boxes of arrows from the barbarians. There are 5,000 arrows in this box.

Milk gnocchi is also a kind of barbarian military food, which is made of cheese and has a lot of salt added to it, and the taste is not delicious, but it is high in protein and high in calories, which is suitable for soldiers to eat.

The military rations in the black dragon granary, according to preliminary estimates, can feed 200,000 troops for two months, and if they are saved, they can be eaten for three months.

The loss of this food is undoubtedly a very painful blow.

If the barbarians retreat, it means that the "bottom of the kettle" plan has been successful.

The next few days.

Mu Tianming has a clearer understanding of the barbarians' "Changle Immortal Temple" after many side knocks, especially when he heard that the "Changle Immortal Water" has no side effects, but is very beneficial, and it can be cut and cleansed!

I took it out of the [carry-on space] one night and drank it.

When the fairy water enters the throat, it doesn't feel like it at first, and it doesn't taste much, just a little sweetness, like mineral water. But when the water enters the body, there is a burning sensation that spreads from the abdomen to the whole body. Immediately afterward, the flesh, bones, and skin all suffered severe pain!

This pain intensified, and at first Mu Tianming thought that he could bear it by gritting his teeth. Slowly, the pain was so severe that he couldn't breathe, and he fell to the ground and couldn't help but scream.

The fierceness of the voice attracted Qiu Fu and Shangguan Rou.

The two women exclaimed, one holding Mu Tianming's hand, looking concerned and panicked, and asked:

"Husband, husband, what's wrong with you!"

"What's wrong?"

Shangguan Rou stood up and ran to the outside door, "I'll call Lang Zhong!" ”

Mu Tianming grabbed her and said, "It's okay, ...... for a while." Probably just fine. ”

Fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead from the sharp pain.

The two women brought him warm water and towels, helped him to the kang together, and wiped his sweat with towels.

"Where the pain is severe, I'll help you rub it."

The two of them worked together to help knead the lower abdomen, which made the pain slightly lessen.

"Oh, husband, your skin has black stains in your sweat." Qiu Fu exclaimed.

Mu Tianming looked down and saw that on his arm, there was black dirt oozing out of his skin. This reminded him of some Xianxia novels he had read before, and after taking the elixir of washing the essence and removing the marrow, he would have this symptom. The authors are honest and don't deceive me!

"I'll go boil hot water and bathe my husband!" Shangguan Rou ran to boil water.

As the black impurities are expelled from the skin, the severe pain in the body is much lessened. Mu Tianming breathed a long sigh of relief.

Compared with the "Dao Fruit" obtained by Wensheng Temple, the "Immortal Water" obtained by this Changle Immortal Temple is so domineering!

After the water was boiled, the two girls moved in the bathtub together, poured hot water and cold water, took off Mu Tianming's clothes, and helped him in.

Soaking in hot water and washing off the black dirt on his body, Mu Tianming felt comfortable.

Both women were busy sweating.

Mu Tianming said: "I've worked hard for you, so let's wash it too." ”

Qiu Fu and Shangguan Rou glanced at each other and nodded.

……

The so-called washing of the meridians and cutting the marrow, the meridians in it, refer to the meridians. Medullary refers to the bone marrow. It means that all internal impurities and wastes in the body and mind are eliminated, and the meridians of the year are comprehensively cleaned, so that the physique becomes stronger and the fit of the whole body is stronger.

After taking the fairy water, Mu Tianming obviously felt that his body was lighter, his energy was more and more abundant, his mind was clear, and his limbs were more agile. As for more effects, since he doesn't know martial arts, he hasn't experienced it yet.

A few days later.

When Mu Tianming was eating in the restaurant, he heard the rumors of the barbarian retreat, and the air in the entire city became lively again.

Reinforcements from the rear of the Dali Dynasty also arrived. The second city defense line took the opportunity to improve and reinforce, and Qingshan City was once again "impregnable". The dynastic army even had plans to recapture the first line of defense.

On the side of Maying County, Li Qiao'er had already been released from prison. The county order has ascertained that the silver and two coins lost by the Ximen family have nothing to do with Li Qiaoer.

Mu Tianming bought meat buns, cut ten catties of beef, and went to visit his sister-in-law.
