After passing through the book, Mr. Chief Assistant came to rely on me

News came out from Beirong that this morning a large number of crossbows were discovered ambushing the border city.

"Crossbow?" Su Xiaoxi muttered.

She had never heard of such a thing.

"I have never seen this thing before." After a pause, Nangong Chen added, "I plan to send envoys to investigate, but since Miss Su can provide strategies, why not go with me?"

Nangong Chen tried to persuade Su Xiaoxi.

"People's girls are not talented. Although they can't be of much help, they are still willing to work hard for the Daning Dynasty, even if they die." Su Xiaoxi said eloquently.

"So, very good."

……

Su Xiaoxi followed Nangong Chen to the border. During the journey, Su Xiaoxi learned what the crossbow was.

"Has Miss Su seen anything similar?" Nangong Chen saw Su Xiaoxi's confused look, so he took the initiative to ask.

"No." Su Xiaoxi shook her head, and a picture suddenly flashed in her mind, "I once saw it in an ancient book, saying that it was a weapon called gunpowder, which was so powerful that it could blow up an entire forest."

Hearing Su Xiaoxi's words, Nangong Chen's eyes lit up. "So, I must capture this thing." After saying that, Nangong Chen asked again, "How do you think Miss Su can capture it?"

"The troops are divided into two groups." Su Xiaoxi pondered for a moment and said.

"Oh?" Nangong Chen looked at Su Xiaoxi with interest and motioned for Su Xiaoxi to continue talking. "The civilian girl's suggestion is to send out an elite unit, disguised as soldiers, and mingle among the people, waiting for opportunities."

Su Xiaoxi spoke slowly and expressed her thoughts, "In addition, there should be spies in Beimo. This time we can make the enemy mistakenly think that our army is about to send troops, and then take advantage of the enemy's slack to launch a violent attack. offensive."

Nangong Chen listened carefully and finally nodded.

"Just do what Miss Su said." Nangong Chen made a decision.

"The daughter of the people obeys."

"In addition, I need to dispatch [-] imperial troops to accompany me to the border."

"Your Majesty, no!" Su Xiaoxi immediately stopped him, "Your Majesty is worth a thousand gold, how can he come to dangerous places in person?"

"Miss Su, don't worry about my safety. I will protect myself as long as you are here." Nangong Chen said with a smile, not intimidated by Su Xiaoxi at all.

"..." Su Xiaoxi was speechless. She wasn't worried about the emperor's safety at all, was she?She was only worried that she would be harmed by the fish pond.

"Miss Su, I have sent an order to inform the world that we will set off for Beirong tomorrow."

Su Xiaoxi: "..."

Can she refuse?

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoxi did not have the right to refuse this time, because she had already put on her armor and prepared to go to the military camp at the urging of her father-in-law sent by Nangong Chen.

The person Nangong Chen sent to see off Su Xiaoxi was the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army, named Chen Qing.

At this moment, Chen Qing was standing respectfully in front of Su Xiaoxi, with a gentle and humble attitude.

"General Chen Qing has met Miss Su."

"You're welcome, Deputy Commander." Su Xiaoxi responded calmly, "Since the Emperor has sent Deputy Commander Chen to see me off, I can't be more respectful than obey."

Chen Qing nodded, "As long as the girl doesn't mind the general's vulgarity."

"Vice Commander Chen is exaggerating." Su Xiaoxi still smiled lightly.

This Chen Qingchang is quite handsome, and his armor sets off the masculinity of the man, making him unforgettable at first sight.

"Miss Su, this is a map of several towns near the border." Chen Qing took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Su Xiaoxi.

"Yes." Su Xiaoxi took it, looked around carefully, tapped her fingertips on the table, and after thinking for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at Chen Qing, "Vice Commander Chen, are you sure we can complete our operation this time? ?”

When Chen Qing heard this, his expression became a little solemn, and then he replied, "The general only hopes to ensure that the emperor returns safely."

"That's good." Su Xiaoxi nodded and then changed the subject, "I remember that the city wall at the border is made of stones and is relatively high. If these arrows hit the city gate, they shouldn't be able to damage the wall."

Chen Qing nodded, "What Miss Su said is absolutely true, but... General Mo heard that there is an observation tower on the city tower. If we launch an attack on the city tower, the winning rate may be higher."

Hearing what Chen Qing said, Su Xiaoxi shook her head, "The Beimo Country must be heavily guarded now. We are hiding from the enemy in the open, so the winning rate is not high."

Chen Qing nodded in agreement, but suddenly frowned, "What's Miss Su's plan?"

"Lead the snake out of its hole!"

"Luring the snake out of its hole?" Chen Qing was puzzled.

"Yes, Beirong has been keeping a low profile during this period. They must be accumulating strength. We might as well attack the city while they are unprepared and annihilate them in one fell swoop to achieve our goal." Su Xiaoxi said firmly.

After hearing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but be surprised, "Miss Su is really smart."

Su Xiaoxi smiled faintly, "Where is it?"

In fact, she learned this method in modern times.

There is a saying in their hometown that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

If they make some noise on the tower, the defenders will definitely relax their vigilance. At that time, they will be able to win in a sneak attack.

However, if they do this, they will have to expose themselves, which is not worth it.

There are many ways to defeat the enemy with one move, but the most labor-saving and simplest and most direct way is to lure the enemy into the urn.

"Then I'll leave this matter to Miss Su." After saying that, Nangong Chen left the camp, leaving behind a confused Su Xiaoxi.

Before she even agreed to go, Nangong Chen put her on the shelf. What kind of fuss was going on?

Su Xiaoxi was dissatisfied, but helpless.

In the evening, Su Xiaoxi lay down in bed to rest after eating and drinking, but she tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

She wasn't sure what Nangong Chen's intention was in doing this.

But Su Xiaoxi believed that Nangong Chen would not harm her.

Thinking this way, the worries in my heart were slightly reduced.

Drowsily, Su Xiaoxi felt a cool breeze blowing.

Su Xiaoxi opened her eyes and found that the window was open, night was falling, and the stars were shining brightly.

"A sneeze——" The cold wind blew, and Su Xiaoxi couldn't help but sneeze.

How is this going?It's not winter yet, where's the cold wind coming from?

Rubbing her nose, Su Xiaoxi put on her clothes and walked out.

The moonlight cast a silvery glow all over the ground, making Su Xiaoxi look even fairer and more beautiful.

Walking into the yard, Su Xiaoxi saw the war horse parked not far away, her eyes rolled around, and she had a plan in mind.

Su Xiaoxi then turned around and ran into the house, rummaging through the cabinets to find a clean set of men's clothes to change into.

When Su Xiaoxi came out after changing her clothes, the corner of Su Xiaoxi's mouth curled up.

Early the next morning, Su Xiaoxi and Chen Qing set out with a thousand imperial troops. According to the terrain, Su Xiaoxi and others chose the direction farthest from the city wall.

Because of Su Xiaoxi's special status, her task was to supervise Chen Qing's training of soldiers. Chen Qing was very enthusiastic along the way.
