The team went all the way west.

Although the post road in the west of Baekje has been repaired by the Starfall Legion, it is inevitable that there are still some rough spots.

In addition, there is a pregnant woman in the team, so the speed of progress is not fast.

Tapping.

The rapid sound of hooves sounded.

A messenger rushed back, interrupting Chen Xiuzhu's chatter.

"General, a logistics team has arrived thirty miles ahead. Chief Xiao Qian sent the younger one back to ask the general what to do."

Xiao Qianchang?
Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help frowning.

It must be Xiao Gang.

Come back and ask Wei Junqian about trivial matters like his friendly army convoy?
What has he been doing all these years in the army?
"Thirty miles ahead," Wei Jun who was next to him glanced left and right, and said in a deep thought, "Then we should arrive at Ruiyu River soon."

Ruiyu River runs from east to west.

The east-west post road is built along the river, and the other side is full of cliffs, and the road is very narrow.

If the two teams meet here, it may be very difficult to pass.

"Let's pass on the order. We'll drive another ten miles and rest on the side of the road. Let's talk about it after passing the logistics convoy."

"Yes!" The orderly puffed up his chest, turned and ran away.

clap clap.

Chen Xiuzhu coughed and clapped his hands.

"Baekje says it's big or small. If I don't look at the map, I won't know whether it's a mountain or a river in front of me."

"Seeing the big from the small, it's no wonder that the Starfall Legion is invincible. It turns out that there is a general like General Wei who has a deep heart and loves soldiers like a son."

"Your Highness is joking." Wei Junqian shook his head, "Remember to stay on the road, just because I will be looking at maps all day long."

"As for loving soldiers like children." He laughed.

"It will snow heavily in Baekje soon. Once the heavy snow closes the mountains, it will be difficult to transport all kinds of materials needed by the soldiers, such as sea-defense crossbows, military rations, forage clothing, medicine, rigging, etc."

"So if you meet someone on the road, try to let them pass first."

"I hope that Your Highness has a large number, and don't blame the general for delaying your return trip."

"Where is there." Chen Xiuzhu quickly waved his hand, "As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. This king is also a person who has fought in the army and fought in the war. Naturally, he understands the importance of logistics."

"It's just waiting on the side of the road for a while now. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter at all."

Ten miles, not too far.

It didn't take long for Wei Junqian and his party to arrive.

When they looked up, they saw a long team coming towards them.

The leader flying high is also a familiar Xingluo military flag.

"Who is leading this team?" Wei Junqian asked.

"Returning to the general, it is Tao Fengming and Tao Qianchang from the Third Blood Battalion."

laugh!
Chen Xiuzhu next to him was taken aback.

"Xingluo Blood Camp? Aren't they from Xingluo County?"

That distance is not close, almost spanning half of the Yunchui Empire.

"That's right." Wei Junqian nodded while looking at the bright military flag, "They are indeed from Xingluo County."

"In the past two years, the weather has been good in the country, and the crops in various places have been harvested, so the treasury has a surplus. It's just that Dingxi County has been fighting, and the four western counties where the civil unrest has not yet recovered, need the support of the court. Less food."

"Let's transfer some food and grass from Xingluo's hometown first, so as not to be delayed by the military department and the household department."

Can't dispatch in time?

Chen Xiuzhu stayed in the army for a long time, so he knew the situation well, and his face turned dark.

"General Wei," he quickly changed the subject, "I heard that Dingxi has defeated the Xiliang people and driven them back to the grassland?"

Ok.

Wei Junqian nodded, "The people from Xiliang have left, but they left us a dilapidated Dingxi County."

"It's a pity that there are so many brave and loyal soldiers who serve the country. Many of them shouldn't have died."

Chen Xiuzhu's heart skipped a beat.

He gritted his teeth.

"General Wei, please don't worry. This king has also been on the battlefield, and he has lived and died with countless brothers. He hates those who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

"After returning to the country, the king directed his father to remonstrate, and demanded that those generals who neglected their duties and did not perform their duties should be severely punished. Even if they annoy the father, they will not hesitate."

……

The two are chatting.

A tall, middle-aged Qianchang ran up to Wei Junqian on a horse.

"Tao Fengming, the three-thousand leader of the last general's blood battalion, has seen the great general and His Royal Highness King Qi."

Haha.

Wei Junqian smiled and patted each other's shoulders, "Tao Qianchang and all the brothers have worked hard. Long time no see, is the journey going smoothly?"

"General Xie is concerned. Most of the deliveries this time are food and winter clothes, and they are not heavy. Except for a few broken cars along the way, everything else went smoothly."

Wei Junqian frowned, "Didn't you bring the anti-sea breaking crossbow?"

Now that Chen Xiuzhu has found it, the East China Sea barrier will return to Yunchui from the sea after attacking the only food island left by the Japanese pirates.

At that time, the task of defending Golden Dragon Beach will return to the shoulders of Xiao Zheng and the Starfall Legion.

And the sea-defending crossbow is so powerful that even the general level has to be shunned.

Therefore, this weapon should be stored as much as possible.

It's just that this kind of powerful crossbow requires a lot of iron, and Baekje can't make it at all. It can only be built in Yunchui and then shipped over.

"Return to General," Tao Fengming bowed his head in shame.

"The north-south post road in Miwu County has just been repaired, and some of the iron ore in Qingshi County has just been shipped out, which is not enough to distribute to various places. General Guanluping has worked hard to snatch it, but not many are snatched."

He murmured: "This time, only ten anti-sea breaking crossbow arrows were brought here."

"So few!" Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help but gasped.

The sea-defense crossbow is powerful, but at least five hit the keel before it is possible to sink a Warlord class.

If you add those that miss or miss the keel, you will need even more.

Based on this calculation, it is estimated that the ten arrows shipped this time can only deal with one warrior class.

Think about the number of Japanese pirate warriors...

Chen Xiuzhu couldn't help feeling a little chilly in his heart.

"General Wei, should we immediately send an order to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to manufacture as many broken crossbow arrows as possible, and at the same time transport them to Baekje as soon as possible?"

The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

The three food islands of the Japanese pirates were all destroyed, and Naoto Kudo would go crazy nine out of ten times.

If he sent large-scale warships to besiege Golden Dragon Beach like last time.And if the defenders on the shore do not have enough sea defense crossbows, they can only rely on human lives to block them.

At that time, I don't know how many people will die.

These are all Yun Chui's veterans, first-class elite soldiers and strong generals.

"No rush!" Wei Junqian smiled, looked up at the sky,

"It's going to snow heavily in Baekje soon, and the Japanese pirates' attack will also weaken accordingly. With our Xingluo and General Xiao's troops, it will definitely not be a problem to defend Golden Dragon Beach."

"The problem now is that the eastern seaboard may need these sea-defense crossbows more than we do, and it should be given priority to Mo Canghai and the others."

Speaking of this, Wei Junqian turned his head.

"Tao Qianchang, you have come from China, have you ever heard that His Majesty has decided to transfer which team to defend the east?"

"This..." Tao Fengming had a strange expression on his face, "Going back to the general, the last general went all the way north and found no signs of mobilization of the various legions."

"Royal father..." Chen Xiuzhu almost cursed out.

After turning around, he quickly stopped talking.

"General Wei, since the establishment of the Xingluo Legion, its mission is to defend the country. Now a large number of Japanese pirates have appeared on the most fertile coast of Yunchui. The situation is urgent, or before it snows, you immediately order the Let Xingluo retreat to the mainland to help defend the coast."

As for Baekje, what does it have to do with Yunchui whether it can be defended or not?
Wei Junqian was noncommittal.

"Your Highness is right. It's just that I, Wei Junqian, have the final say on the legion. All the actions of the Starfall Legion have a premise, and that is to obey His Majesty's will."

"This spring, His Majesty sent an imperial decree, strictly ordering all the Starfall soldiers to station in Baekje, and we must spare no effort to drive out the Japanese pirates for Baekje."

"The general would not dare to defy."

"Speaking of sending His Highness back to China this time, the general was just planning to send it to Beihai Customs."
