"When are you going back?" the empress asked Ren Baqian as soon as she sat down in the same courtyard.
"I'll go back tonight," Ren Baqian replied without hesitation.
"Bring me wine, popcorn, candy, chocolate, television dramas …" the empress counted with her fingers.
Ren Baqian was stunned. Your Majesty, we're at war now, can you be more serious?
The metal chain rose from Ren Baqian's head and twisted. Just as it formed an S shape, the figure of the empress, who was beside Ren Baqian, suddenly moved. The metal chain quickly retracted, but the empress grabbed the top of it and pulled it out.
"What's this?"
"Eh? Your Majesty, be gentle, be gentle. Don't break it. Otherwise, you will … "Ren Baqian suddenly felt that something wasn't right halfway through his sentence. He quickly swallowed the words he was about to say and burped in a hurry.
"What will I do?" the empress asked doubtfully.
"Or I will be out of luck," Ren Baqian quickly said. Then, he quickly explained the origin of the metal chain.
"It can actually be like this." The empress was surprised after hearing it.
But very quickly, with a playful look on her face, she pulled out the metal chain on top of Ren Baqian's head a little, and then a little more. After pulling out seven to eight meters of the metal chain, Ren Baqian felt an indescribable pain in his head, causing him to hurriedly scream "Ouch, ouch!" and move closer to the empress.
"So it's this long." The empress saw the limit. She let go and the metal chain retracted into Ren Baqian's head at lightning speed. She then patted his head.
"Your Majesty …" Ren Baqian wanted to cry but had no tears. What happened to the Heaven-grade weapon? What happened to the binding? Why did he suddenly feel as if he was tied to a dog leash just now …
"Your Majesty, is there any problem with the food in the city?" Ren Baqian asked.
The empress frowned and replied, "It can last for another month."
"So little?" Ren Baqian was a little surprised.
He thought that the food stored in the city was enough to last for a year and a half.
"It's already a lot." The empress felt that Ren Baqian's reaction was a little strange.
"My people mainly eat meat, so there naturally isn't much food in the city. If it wasn't for the fact that after Ziyue City was breached, the soldiers and commoners had persuaded all the villages along the way to bring their livestock here when they retreated, there wouldn't have been so much food.
However, I only managed to last for so long because I reduced my consumption, "the empress said faintly.
"What about the food in Tiesuo Pass and Shun City …" Ren Baqian immediately thought of this problem.
"Half of the space in Tiesuo Pass is used to store livestock. It can last longer than here, but not by much," the empress said.
"Looks like this war can't last for too long. Now that the north has fortified its defenses and cleared out the wilderness, the food and livestock have been greatly reduced. If this continues for too long, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold on, "Ren Baqian said as he thought about it.
"We just need to defeat them within a month!" the Water Empress said matter-of-factly.
"What should we do?" Ren Baqian was shocked. It seemed like the empress had her own ideas.
"Before you came, I was still thinking …"
Ren Baqian, "…"
"You're here. Now it's you who wants to …"
Ren Baqian …
"Shall we think of a way to burn Great Xia's rations?" Ren Baqian immediately had this idea.
I don't need too much rations. It's fine as long as you have less rations.
Great Xia had 170,000 soldiers here, and they needed a lot of rations. The supply line was long, and it was impossible to get supplies every day.
As long as the rations of the Great Xia army were burned, they wouldn't be able to sit still.
Of course, the protection of the rations of the Great Xia army was a top priority. It wouldn't be easy to achieve this.
"Alright!" the empress said straightforwardly.
In addition to burning the rations, it was also necessary to intercept the rations.
Ren Baqian immediately suggested eliminating the winged cavalry from scouting and searching for the other party's rations transport team.
With the strength of the winged cavalry, they could completely disperse and scout in groups of two or three. After discovering the other party's rations transport team, they would gather together to intercept and burn the rations.
"Li Qianqiu has already sent people to find their rations transport route." The empress nodded slightly.
Ren Baqian felt a little relieved. It seemed like the aboriginals weren't all brainless. To be able to become the Protector General of a region, he definitely wasn't an ordinary person. It was impossible for others to think of something that Ren Baqian immediately thought of.
However, presumably, Dayao would also think of it.
Ren Baqian felt that he needed some good stuff.
After chatting with the empress for a while, Ren Baqian told her about the Great Xia army he encountered on his way here and their cannons. After hearing from the empress, he found out that the Protectorate of the North had already discovered this thing, but it wasn't very powerful and wasn't taken seriously.
"It's not powerful for a fortified city, but for a stronghold in the wilderness, it's already quite powerful. The other party can use the cannons to destroy the stronghold before charging in. This will reduce the number of casualties. "
Ren Baqian said this because he grew up on Earth and understood the use of gunpowder since he was young. He also knew the power of gunpowder, so he somewhat valued it.
In the eyes of the empress and the other generals, it was the Great Xia practitioners who were under greater pressure.
There weren't many aboriginal strongholds, and most of them fought one-on-one. On the contrary, the Great Xia practitioners were able to fully display their strength.
Even after fortifying the strongholds, the role of the Great Xia practitioners in attacking the strongholds couldn't be underestimated.
…
That night, Ren Baqian returned to Earth and immediately called Yang Sen.
"I want a nuclear bomb!"
"Impossible!" Yang Sen suddenly quivered. Why did you do this again?
"Sarin gas!"
"Impossible!"
"White phosphorous bombs!"
"Impossible as well!" Yang Sen's head was throbbing. Can the things you want not be so dangerous? None of them can be given to you.
"We are at war! Did you hear me clearly? We are at war! If you can't do this and that, can we continue our cooperation? "Ren Baqian roared as he slammed the table.
"I can give you guns and bullets, such as the anti-aircraft machine gun from last time, or conventional equipment like rifles."
Although he had heard Ren Baqian's explanation before, Yang Sen still felt that it was too strange for the cultivators from the paradise to use these ordinary people's weapons to fight a war.
"Mortars and incendiary steel ball bombs!"
Yang Sen hesitated for a while. The power of these weapons wasn't small either. Finally, he nodded slowly and asked, "What caliber?"
"Give me two Type 93 60mm mortars first and 70 incendiary steel ball bombs!" Ren Baqian immediately said. Sure enough, dealing with Yang Sen required him to raise the price as high as he could.
If Ren Baqian had asked for 60mm mortars at the start, he would probably have wanted to give him grenades. At that time, he would have to waste his breath again.
"Also, a matching instruction manual and a firing table. Also, a few sets of good night vision goggles. Send them over in two days! "Ren Baqian hung up the phone and thought that these things should be enough.
The 60mm mortars had a range of 5,564 meters, which was equivalent to five kilometers away. They could hit the enemy's main camp from the top of the city wall.
The incendiary steel ball bombs had a destructive radius of 20 meters. After the explosion, the steel balls could sweep through the area within a radius of 20 meters. Furthermore, the arsonist could ignite flammable objects within a radius of 12 meters.
It was perfect for burning rations and fodder.
When he thought about how these things would take at least two to three days to be delivered, he felt that he should really buy a house near Shanghai so that it would be more convenient to look for Yang Sen or do other things.
Ren Baqian then took a pen and paper and began to calculate.
Each mortar weighed 45 kilograms. Two sets weighed 90 kilograms.
One shell weighed 2.5 kilograms. Seventy of them weighed 300 kilograms.
He also needed two sets of drones, which weighed 30 kilograms.
Twenty walkie-talkies weighed 40 kilograms.
Two walkie-talkie relay stations weighed 60 kilograms.
Two sets of small solar batteries and solar panels weighed 80 kilograms.
All these added up to 650 kilograms.
