Chapter 130: Just Blow Up the Bunker

Xiao Moting gave the order.

"Seal off the area around the Bunker, trap the bandits inside, and if they try to charge out, fire arrows!"

"Xiao Dabao, take the Sniper Team and be responsible for monitoring the musketeers! If one shows their head, snipe them!"

"Yes."

Bai Wei watched the battle quietly.

She had been worried that the Beijiang Army wouldn't know how to use the Sniper Rifle, but she hadn't expected that under Xiao Moting's command, the fighting would go exceptionally smoothly.

But now, the battle had reached a stalemate.

Lay siege to the Bunker?

Although this was indeed the best tactic, but...

What if there was enough food inside the Bunker and the bandits hid in there for a dozen days or more? Wouldn't the Beijiang Army have to accompany these bandits and lie in ambush in this wilderness for a dozen days?

No, no.

It would be too much of a waste of time, plus there were mosquitoes and insects biting, and they wouldn't eat or sleep well.

If any soldiers fell ill, they would be short of medicine, and they might even die.

The Beijiang Army could not afford any more losses!

Because the current Beijiang Army, from the Chief Commander Xiao Moting down to the smallest soldier, all followed her orders, which meant they were her own troops.

She would not let her own troops be so exhausted!

Bai Wei looked at the Bunker, and an idea popped into her head.

Rather than laying siege, it would be better to just blow it up!

While Xiao Moting ordered the Beijiang Army to rest in place and lay siege to the Bunker, Bai Wei let her consciousness return to Qingshan Village.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she immediately jumped into the driver's seat and drove the Recreational Vehicle out of the village.

Before long, the vehicle arrived at Yangjiatun.

Bai Wei hurried into the village-run Iron Factory.

"Factory Manager, I've come to order something. The price doesn't matter, but I need it immediately."

The Factory Manager was in his office; as soon as he saw her, he stood up quickly, his face full of smiles.

"Bai, what would you like to order?"

"I want to make a..."

Bai Wei didn't say another word; she picked up a felt-tip pen from the desk and began to sketch on a piece of paper.

"This... what is this?" The Factory Manager looked at the pattern on the paper, very surprised.

"I have a use for it; can the factory make it?"

The Factory Manager frowned and held the drawing for a few seconds.

"This thing isn't difficult; the master craftsmen in the factory can make it right away. But what exactly are you going to use this for?"

"In short, I have a use for it; as long as you can make it, that's enough."

Seeing that Bai Wei was in a hurry, the Factory Manager immediately picked up the phone and called over a few electric welding masters.

Bai Wei was a great benefactor to all of Yangjiatun, the Iron Factory's biggest client, and a guest of honor for Village Chief Yang.

Her affairs were handled with priority by the factory.

The few welding masters also knew Bai Wei and worked very diligently.

While waiting, the Factory Manager chatted with Bai Wei.

"Bai, I heard that your Trade Company is very large. Where do you ship all the supplies you buy?"

"I do foreign trade, so I ship them all abroad."

Bai Wei smiled, but in her heart, she began to consider a problem.

She had been purchasing large quantities of supplies to send to Daliang for a long time; although she had the Trade Company as a cover, the fact that she only brought things in and never sent anything out had already caused some people to whisper behind her back.

Especially since she purchased White Cast Iron from Yangjiatun and ordered large batches of weapons; once or twice was fine, but long-term purchasing would inevitably make people suspicious.

On Xiao Moting's side, the Beijiang Army already had 180,000 men, and there were nearly 100,000 refugees in the main camp.

Just forging iron weapons, horse gear, armor, farm tools, and daily necessities... all required a massive amount of steel.

If she relied solely on Teleportation, it would certainly arouse suspicion.

Moreover, her Mental Power for teleporting items was not infinite; teleporting a large batch of steel meant she had to rest for an entire day.

If an emergency occurred, and she had already teleported a large amount of steel, she wouldn't be able to teleport anything else.

And things like Hunting Rifles, Hand Grenades, and Minivans... these modern items could not be teleported at all without sufficient Mental Power.

Bai Wei considered this in her heart.

Once Xiao Moting captured the mines, she would let the Beijiang Army smelt their own iron and forge simple iron weapons and daily necessities. This way, she could save her Mental Power to teleport other things, and it would also avoid suspicion from the villagers.

Just as she was thinking, the Factory Manager's voice reached her ears.

"Bai, the thing you wanted is welded."

"So fast?"

Bai Wei was happy and looked up toward the workshop.

Sure enough!

The master welding craftsmen had already built the item according to her requirements.

Bai Wei immediately paid the money and had the Iron Factory transport the item to the Farm, then teleported it to Xiao Moting.

"Xiao Moting, I've sent you something. The way to use it is..."

Xiao Moting stood in front of the wardrobe, looking in surprise at the item Bai Wei had teleported over.

Just now, he was at the mine site commanding the Beijiang Army to surround the Bunker when a soldier came to report that Shennü Daren had suddenly sent something over.

The wardrobe was still in the village, so he immediately went down the mountain and returned to the village to check.

Before his eyes sat a flatbed cart welded from iron frames, with a massive solid Steel Plate installed at the front, and smaller Steel Plates on the top and both sides.

The Steel Plates were long and wide, about two fingers thick, resembling a giant Shield.

Combined, they looked like a huge box, protecting the person pushing the cart inside the "box."

Bai Wei had written a message.

"Xiao Moting, this flatbed cart can block Musket Bullets."

"Have the soldiers push it up to block the muzzles on the Bunker."

"Throw the Hand Grenades inside and blow up the Bunker."

Xiao Moting finished reading quickly and immediately understood Bai Wei's intention.

A Bunker is an enclosed space, easy to defend and hard to attack.

But it also has a weakness: the people inside cannot easily come out either.

Just now, the bandits were terrified by the Sniper Rifle and were all huddled inside the Bunker, squeezed into a mass.

If a Hand Grenade were thrown in, it would surely cause chaos inside!

Xiao Moting raised his sword-like eyebrows.

A good idea!

Shennü Daren is always able to come up with so many ingenious tactics; he admires her greatly.

He immediately gave the order.

"Push the flatbed cart up!"

"Yes!"

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward to push the cart up the mountain.

However, even though the two used all their strength, the cart only wobbled once before moving forward a tiny step.

Xiao Moting's brow furrowed slightly.

The solid Steel Plates were too heavy; the two of them could not push it at all.

Just then, Xiao Dabao ran forward.

"Wu Da, let the two of us push the cart!"

Xiao Dabao usually had a huge appetite and loved eating high-calorie foods, so he had long since built up a great deal of strength.

Wu Da's weapon was a pair of Mountain-Opening Axes, and he had also trained himself to be very strong.

The two of them each gripped a handle of the flatbed cart, exerted force at the same time, and easily pushed the cart up the hillside.

The flatbed cart was pushed to the middle of the slope.

But they encountered another problem.

The area the iron plates could protect was limited, allowing only two people to push it up; if more men were added, it would increase the risk of being hit by Musket Bullets.

Furthermore, one had to lean out from the cart to throw the Hand Grenade into the Bunker.

But doing so would easily expose one's body and lead to being hit by a Bullet.

Xiao Dabao glanced at Wu Da and walked forward with a grin.

"Wu Da has a whole family, but I don't. Let me be the one to stuff the Hand Grenade in."

Wu Da was stunned, "Don't you still have a younger brother?"

Xiao Dabao smiled.

"Dangerous things must be done by someone. If it's not me, it's you, or it's someone else."

"My family is already dead, and my only younger brother, Liujin, has become a Squad Leader, so I have no regrets."

"I, Xiao Dabao, have no talent and don't know many characters, but fortunately, Prince did not look down on me and let me stay by his side for so many years. Soldiers are raised for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. If I die on the battlefield, it is a death well-deserved!"
