Chapter 19: A Battle in History

~7 min read 1,248 words

In the wind and snow.

Xiao Moting closed his eyes, trying his best to calm his surging emotions.

Every time he was bullied or treated unfairly... only this girl he had never met stood firmly by his side unconditionally, supporting him and trusting him.

Can thirty thousand remnants really defeat one hundred thousand well-equipped barbarian soldiers?

He did not know.

But, he firmly believed in the Goddess!

Xiao Moting used his trembling hands to pick up the chalk and solemnly wrote down a few words.

"Shennü Daren, Xiao Moting, on behalf of the thirty thousand soldiers and all the people of Xuancheng, thanks you!"

Bai Wei returned to Qingshan Village.

The scene she had just witnessed left a deep impression on her heart.

She wanted to help Xiao Moting win!

However, she knew this was an unprecedented battle.

Thirty thousand infantry defeating one hundred thousand elite soldiers, especially when the opponent had ten thousand well-equipped Rattan Armor Cavalry, was almost impossible.

She was not a deity and could not cast spells.

She could only use modern knowledge and technology to help them fight!

Bai Wei did not waste any more time and immediately opened Baidu online.

"Battles in history where the few defeated the many."

She immediately found a lot of information.

Bai Wei selected battles led by over a dozen famous generals, printed out the detailed processes, and sent them to Xiao Moting.

"Take a look at these materials and see if you can use them."

In the military tent.

An oil lamp was lit.

Xiao Moting held the few pages of paper, his face full of shock!

The battle formations and strategies on the paper were all exquisite!

Every major battle could go down in history!

So, the Goddess's world had countless powerful and famous generals!

Liu Bei, Yue Fei, Wei Qing...

His admiration for Bai Wei deepened even further!

Xiao Moting immediately sat at the desk, focused his attention, and studied the tactics of the ancient famous generals throughout the night!

He did not sleep all night, memorizing the battles on the paper by heart.

In his heart, he already had a countermeasure.

"Shennü Daren, could you help Mo Ting prepare some items?"

Xiao Moting wrote down these words, his handsome face slightly blushing.

This was the first time he had taken the initiative to ask Bai Wei for something, yet he was penniless and could not offer much in return.

He did not know if the Goddess would be displeased.

But the next moment, he saw Bai Wei's response.

"Okay, list what you need and send it to me."

"I will prepare everything and send it to you."

Xiao Moting stood in front of the wardrobe, clenching his fists, his heart filled with deep gratitude and guilt.

"Battle of Maling?"

Bai Wei held the list and spoke in surprise.

In front of Xuancheng, there was a valley.

To attack Xuancheng, one had to enter through the valley.

Was Xiao Moting also planning to launch a surprise ambush like Sun Bin?

The "Battle of Maling" was a famous battle of Sun Bin.

It tells of the Warring States period, when the Wei State army attacked the Han State, and with the army pressing on the border, Sun Bin used Pang Juan's eagerness for victory to adopt the strategy of "reducing cooking stoves to lure the enemy," inducing the Wei army to go deep into the gorge.

When the Wei army entered the Maling Road gorge, Sun Bin led the Qi State army to fire all their Bow and Arrow at once.

The Wei army was caught off guard and thrown into chaos, Pang Juan committed suicide, and the Qi State army achieved victory.

So that was it!

On the paper, Xiao Moting had written a detailed battle formation map and listed the items needed.

Bai Wei could not help but admire him.

He was worthy of being a young general, writing such detailed tactics in just one night.

Xiao Moting was indeed a diligent and good student.

She browsed through the list.

The items Xiao Moting wanted were mainly Bow and Arrow, followed by weapons.

Moreover, he had improved upon them, wanting to use Rocket to launch a fire attack on the barbarian army!

However, Xiao Moting also raised a difficult problem on the paper.

That is, the barbarians have ten thousand light cavalry, who are highly mobile and fully armored, allowing them to quickly withdraw from the battlefield amidst a rain of arrows.

How to deal with cavalry?

Bai Wei narrowed her eyes, struggling to think.

Just now, when she was looking up information on Baidu, she saw that Landmines could effectively counter cavalry.

Therefore, besides buying Bow and Arrow.

She also had to help Xiao Moting make Landmines.

Landmines require Explosives.

But where exactly should she go to get Explosives?

Explosives are contraband; even if she spent money, she couldn't buy them at all.

Bai Wei thought for a moment, and an idea suddenly popped into her head.

She turned off her phone and stood up.

The thirty thousand lives of the Daliang soldiers were tied to her hands; she could not waste time.

"Xiao Moting, send me a peace talisman."

Almost the next moment, a peace talisman appeared in the wardrobe.

Bai Wei took the peace talisman, left the farm, and arrived outside the village.

At the foot of Daqingshan, inside the temporary Archaeology Office built with Steel Plate, Professor Ye was holding a magnifying glass, studying data with intense focus.

On the mountain, the sound of Explosives blasting could be faintly heard.

That was the workers blasting open mountain rocks to build a mountain road, making it easier to drive vehicles up the mountain to better excavate the royal tomb.

At the construction site, tons of Explosives were stockpiled.

Seeing Bai Wei, Professor Ye immediately revealed a happy smile, "Bai Wei, it's rare for you to come find me; is there something you need?"

Bai Wei handed over the peace talisman.

"Professor Ye, I am truly sorry that my aunt broke your peace talisman last time, so I found another one to compensate you."

Professor Ye was stunned, then immediately trembled with excitement.

"There's actually another one? This is wonderful, and it's even a relic from the same era! Thank you so much, how much is it? I'll buy it!"

"No money needed, this is to compensate you."

"No, such a precious relic, how could I..."

"Professor Ye, I want some of the Explosives the Archaeology Team uses to blast the mountain."

"Huh?"

Professor Ye was dumbfounded, looking at the peace talisman in his hand, then at Bai Wei.

This little girl...

As expected.

This peace talisman really wasn't given to him for free.

Half an hour later, Bai Wei left the Archaeology Office.

She returned to the village and stepped into the vegetable greenhouse next door.

Chen Yeye was bent over, picking vegetables with his grandson Chen Ming, and greeted her warmly as soon as he saw her.

"Xiao Wei, I've picked over a dozen baskets of radishes; are you still buying?"

"Buying, I'll take as many as you have!" Bai Wei walked up with a smile, "Chen Yeye, you used to be in the militia, right? I want to make a batch of Landmines; could you help me?"

Chen Yeye was stunned, and the radish he was holding dropped to the ground.

This girl, she really says things that scare people to death the moment she opens her mouth...
