farming in ancient times

As soon as Butcher Gao left, Xiao Er's whole body seemed to be drained of strength, his face turned even paler, and he trembled a little when he walked.

Yin Wei hurriedly supported him, "Ma'am, the general will be fine now."

Xiao Er calmly said, "I know." But he couldn't help worrying about what could be done.

"Then, shall I take you back?" Seeing this, Yin Wei didn't know what to say, and suddenly said, "By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"...He took all the steamed buns I steamed." Xiaoer's stomach growled when he said this.

Yin Wei raised his forehead, no wonder the general didn't even let him touch the big package when he was going to help the general carry things just now.So he asked Xiaobing to go to the big kitchen to serve his wife a meal, and then continued to persuade Xiaoer to relax. There are war horses secretly sent by the general at Linmu Pass, and there are many elite soldiers.

Xiaoer was surprised, "Since Linmu Pass is heavily guarded, why are the barbarians attacking Linmu Pass?"

"You don't know?" Yin Wei asked strangely.

"What should I know?" Xiao Er was even more strange than him.

Yin Wei saw that Xiaoer's expression didn't seem fake, "There is a marshal in the west, and there are thousands of cavalry in the east, and here..." After a pause, "The name of the general is worth thousands of troops. The barbarians don't know that we only have a thousand cavalry here, and if we count them carefully, only Linmuguan, which is as far away from the marshal as we are, is the best place to bully."

As soon as he said Xiaoer, he realized something was wrong, "Once the guard at Linmu Pass fights with the barbarians, won't the enemy know that there are very few cavalry on our side?"

"The general has also thought about this matter. The general told us that we must cheer up these few days and strictly guard against the enemy's attack." Yin Wei said.

Xiaoer took the food from the soldiers and asked while eating, "If the enemy attacks at night, do we have enough weapons?"

"It depends on how many people there are in the other party." Yin Wei had never fought Hu people before, and Yin Wei did not dare to speak too absolutely.

Xiaoer didn't know that the soldiers here didn't even know what kind of barbarian people were, so he was a little displeased with Yin Wei's words, "Then if the enemy's soldiers are overwhelming, how many days can we hold on?"

"This..." Yin Wei looked at Xiao Er, "Why is Madam asking this?"

"Can't you tell me?" Xiaoer was puzzled, "Need to keep it secret?"

"No!" He is a young man from a farming family... No matter how clear he is, he still doesn't understand.

"Since it's not, then you can speak slowly." Xiaoer walked into the tent and put down the vegetable bowl, then went to find a wet towel to wash his face, and Yin Wei didn't open his mouth after washing his face, Xiaoer was already extremely impatient.

Even Butcher Gao didn't dare to argue with him. What's the matter with this military adviser?

Maybe Xiaoer's performance was too obvious, Yin Wei said, "Since madam wants to know so much, then go to the weapon room with me to see how many weapons we have."

Xiaoer cursed secretly, what a fart!As a military division, you don't even know how many weapons there are in the army, so what use is there for you.

It was also because of this that Xiao Er wanted to take a look.

When the two arrived at the weapons room, Yin Wei took out a token and asked the guards to open the door, and then called for the soldiers in charge of weapons.

And Xiao Er immediately saw the big guy facing the door—a trebuchet, followed by a long spear and a short sword, and then there were bows and arrows and stones, Xiao Er frowned, "Is there no crossbow? "

"What is a crossbow?" Yin Wei asked.

As soon as Xiaoer heard this, he was sure that there was really no gunpowder at this time.

Walking out of the weapon room, seeing no one else around, Xiao Er said, "Help me prepare some materials for making bows and arrows." Before Yin Wei could speak, he said, "There is a Taoist temple in the nearest town. Is it?"

"There is a Taoist temple in Yanmen Pass. Madam is going to pray for the general?" Yin Wei asked

"Pray for blessings?" Xiaoer almost laughed when he heard these two words, his pale face finally showed some joy, "No, I want to go to the Taoist temple to get some things."

"What? I'll send someone to get it." Yin Wei said.

Xiaoer thought for a while, "Saltpeter is all nitrate, charcoal and sulfur, that is, yellow teeth. There should be charcoal in the market, even in Taoist temples, and sulfur is a must-have in medicine shops. Taste."

"Sulphur? We always keep it in the army, and it's mainly used to kill insects." Yin Wei wondered what the general's wife was going to do while speaking.

There is a military doctor in the army, and Xiao Er was not surprised when he heard his words, so he said, "I need a lot of sulfur and saltpeter. It would be great if I could buy all the saltpeter and sulfur in the market." Then Walking into the tent, he took out the ingot of gold he brought from home and handed it to Yin Wei, "If it's convenient, please send someone to buy it now."

"Ma'am, can you tell me first what you want these things for?" Yin Wei asked while staring at Xiao Er instead of taking the money.

Xiaoer smiled and said, "Theoretically speaking, the butcher has given this place to you. I have to explain to you what I want to do first. However, the things I want to make are like my steamed buns and steamed buns. You If you haven’t seen me do things well, no matter how much I say, you won’t know.”

Yin Weigang wanted to refute, but suddenly remembered that Shi Lei said earlier that he looked down on his wife, so he said, "Okay! I'll send someone there now!"

Seeing him, Xiao Er turned around and left, "You first ask someone to bring me the materials and tools for making bows and arrows. If the military division is not busy, please come and help me."

The general is not here, of course the military division is busy, but before the general left, he also reminded them to take good care of his wife.

Yin Wei thought that Zheng Nan and Huang Qu were both patrolling outside, and he was afraid that the strange wife would cause trouble, so he explained to the lieutenants, and Yin Wei came to the general's tent to wait for his wife's dispatch.

It is said that after Xiaoer got the materials for making bows and arrows, he began to close his eyes and think deeply.Although Xiao Er had only seen pictures of crossbows before, he was dealing with machinery every day at that time, and after a while, the general appearance of crossbows appeared in Xiao Er's mind.

When drawing the structure of the crossbow on the ground, Xiao Er directly skipped the powerful crossbow, which must be perfectly aimed, and drew the group-sweeping crossbow, such as the Zhuge Liannu.

Like the legendary crossbow, first, there are no iron parts, and second, even if he can draw blueprints, he may not be able to make them.This kind of guy with high technical content should be handed over to craftsmen who specialize in making weapons later.

While Yin Wei was cutting wood and wiping his sweat according to Xiao Er's request, General Gao Da, who had been running for a long time, gave an order, and the troops began to stop and rest.

As soon as Shi Lei jumped off the horse, he ran towards the general with the steamed buns in his arms, "General, we are in a hurry today, Madam didn't have time to prepare food for you, right?" It's very comfortable to listen to the general looking on the horse's back.

The deputy commander's scalp was numb and his back felt cold, he took out a warm bun and threw it over, "Get lost!"

Foodies don't even look at what's in their hands, they pick it up and take a bite, "Well..." What is this... Shi Lei looked down, good guy, a steamed bun is full of folds, there are still There is another world.She really deserves to be the general's wife, her dexterity even compares to his wives.

A group of soldiers and young generals are also comparing the steamed buns made by the general's wife, which are much, many times better than those dry and hard pancakes in the past. When following the dishes, everyone's eyes were straightened.

Appreciating the general's great reputation, these soldiers did not dare to approach the general like Shi Lei did, so that when they arrived at Linmuguan, they began to calculate when they would be able to go back.

The general was dizzy from the wolf-like eyes, and could only promise that after they successfully drove away the barbarians in Lin Muguan, Baozi would have enough!

Oh...it turns out that what the general ate was not steamed buns but steamed stuffed buns.This was the first reaction of the five hundred cavalrymen.

Seeing the sudden enlightenment of the crowd, the general covered his face with intuition, why are his elite soldiers and good generals a bunch of foodies!

At this time, Xiao Er, who was so busy and sweating, didn't know how much the general had resentment. Seeing Zhuge Nu, it would be good. Xiao Er's face was filled with joy, Yin Wei stood in front of Xiao Er, and just wanted to ask, madam, How to use this.

Xiao Er, who was full of crossbows in his heart and eyes, hung up the string, released the arrow, and shot straight at Yin Wei with a chopstick with a "shua".

"Ah!" Yin Wei exclaimed in shock, and saw the chopsticks flying out, rubbing his ears. Before he could speak again, two more chopsticks flew towards him. In an instant, he changed from frightened to stupid, and sat down on the ground.

Xiao Er didn't seem to see his frightened eyes, and asked with a smile, "Military Master, what about my crossbow?"

The military master was trembling and speechless, what kind of monster is this? Why can he spit out several chopsticks in a row with just a pull of his hand, without aiming or shooting an arrow.

Yes, it is chopsticks.The crossbow 1 bow made by Xiaoer was just a sample, since it was a template, Xiaoer thought it would be good to make a rough one, so he didn't ask the weapon craftsman to help make the arrow.

Xiao Er bent down and waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Military Master, the soul is coming...the soul is coming...wake up quickly..."

Yin Wei came back to his senses and slapped that annoying hand, "Ma'am, what is in your hand?"

"Continuous shooting crossbow!" Xiaoer said, "how is it, is it easy to use?"

"Good... easy to use!" Not only is it easy to use, the group of archers he has spent nearly two years training can't match the small crossbow in the opponent's hand.But Yin Wei couldn't say this, but asked strangely, "Why haven't I seen it before?"

"Of course you haven't seen it before. This is the first crossbow in the world." As Xiao Er raised the crossbow in his hand and shook it, Yin Wei felt his ears itch.

"Husband... madam, it's getting dark, aren't you hungry?" Yin Wei hurriedly reminded.

Xiao Er rubbed his belly, "You're really hungry when you say that." Then he threw the crossbow to Yin Wei, "I'm going to cook."

He walked so gracefully that poor Yin Wei almost fell down while holding the light crossbow.

Seeing the military division stumbling over, Huang Qu smiled and said, "Military division, when did you change your career to play tricks?"

"Get out!" Yin Wei carefully put the crossbow on the square table, and then asked someone to call Zheng Nan. When Zheng Nan came, Yin Wei didn't say a word, just like Xiaoer did before, and even put the bow in the string groove. Ten chopsticks shot out, and he asked, "How is it?"

"...." Huang Qu and Zheng Nan were at a loss for words.

Yin Wei was very satisfied to see that one of them was more stupid than the other. If Xiaoer was here at this time, Yin Wei would definitely say, ma'am, look, it's not that I'm ignorant, it's that what you made is too scary.

"You... where did you get it?" Huang Qu wanted to reach out but was afraid of breaking the strange thing in Yin Wei's hand.

Zheng Nan said affirmatively, "You've been in the general's tent all afternoon, this... is this made by Madam?"

Yin Wei nodded, and Huang Qu jumped up, "How... how is it possible, who is Madam? How could he make this thing?"

"Don't you believe it, I watched Madam get this thing out bit by bit with my own eyes." After a pause, "Don't talk about the general, if the general knew about this crossbow, we would have used it eight years ago. "

Hearing this, Huang Qu and Zheng Nan kept looking at each other and hehe.

Yin Wei raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, "Ha ha! Let the armory hurry up and make crossbows now!"

"Now?" Huang Qu asked in disbelief.

"Of course!" Don't think that he didn't notice Madam's contemptuous eyes before, "Also, this thing must be kept secret, and the specific situation will be discussed when the general returns."

"Can't people know that this thing is made by a lady?"

Yin Wei sighed, "I also want to hide it, but when Madam asked for materials in the weapon room at noon, many people saw it."

So, Xiao Er is now famous again.

But none of them knew that Xiaoer was still famous, and a Liannu was nothing!
