Chapter 41 Go back alive and marry my sister!

Could it be that Xue Gang followed them into a safe house?

This safe house was built by carving several meters of granite into bricks.

The exterior walls of the building are also insanely covered with several layers of sheet metal.

I wonder how afraid of death the people who built this house were.

After the three entered the room, Xue Gang gave the order, and several soldiers worked together to push out a large piece of equipment covered with black brocade.

Mo Fei watched with some curiosity as the soldiers lifted the brocade cloth, revealing a huge triple-bow crossbow in his sight.

The ballista was placed entirely on the winch, and the arrows held by the soldiers beside it were several meters long.

The spear-like arrows gleamed coldly, their tips coated with several layers of gunpowder.

Being shot by such a sharp weapon, no matter how skilled the person was in martial arts, would likely not survive.

Moreover, this is a product that Xue Gang has heavily modified.

Several soldiers had already deftly mounted a spear-like arrow onto the ballista.

The specially made arrow, wrapped with several layers of gunpowder, was slowly tightened as the winch turned, until the bowstring was fully drawn.

The crossbowman in charge of firing quickly stepped forward, raised his sledgehammer high, and slammed it down on the trigger with all his might.

"Whoosh...!"

The massive crossbow bolts, accompanied by a series of whistling sounds, shot out in an instant, hurtling towards a stone mountain intended as a target.

"Bang...bang!"

The series of huge explosions made Mo Fei, who was in the safe house, feel as if the ground was shaking.

After the noise subsided, the three of them went outside.

The stone mountain that had been the target in the distance, nearly ten meters high, is now just a jumble of rocks.

Looking at the enormous effect of the modified ballista in the distance, Mo Fei felt that his plan had already been completely completed.

Everything is ready, just waiting for war.

"Xue Gang, you did a great job!"

"In the time to come, you will have me mass-produce those three weapons you just showed me. I need enough to finish this war."

After instructing Wan Xuegang, Mo Fei turned to Lu Xiufu and said:

"Lu Qing, immediately send a messenger north to Xiangyang to arrange the abandonment of the city with Lü Wenhuan. Tell him that in ten days, the entire Wu Kingdom army will march north to fight the Yuan Mongols in the Jingzhou area."

……

When the weary Fan Gui arrived in Xiangyang, Lü Wenhuan had already been waiting for him at the Xiangyang ferry for a long time.

When Zhang Junbao replied last time, Mo Fei had already sent people to leave several pairs of carrier pigeons in Xiangyang, so Lü Wenhuan had already received news of the arrival of the royal messenger.

After welcoming Fan Gui into the garrison headquarters, Lü Wenhuan immediately dismissed everyone and had a long conversation with Fan Gui in the study that lasted for several hours.

Fan Gui's arrival this time was not just to deliver a message, but also brought Mo Fei's most elite warrior monks, the Trapped Camp.

Having abandoned Xiangyang this time, we cannot rashly give up.

Although most of the residents of Xiangyang had evacuated during this period, there were still nearly 20,000 battle-hardened soldiers in the city.

These are the most elite soldiers, whose years of combat have made them accustomed to life and death and highly experienced.

Each of them could become a general or officer in any other military, which is a crucial asset for Mo Fei's counterattack after the plan succeeds.

Therefore, Fan Gui carried an extremely important mission. The success or failure of this mission would directly determine the course of the subsequent war.

To increase the chances of success, Fan Gui even made a special trip to Zhang Junbao's residence for a detailed discussion.

Finally, with the help of a second chance to make a move and a sense of national pride, he managed to persuade Zhang Junbao to participate.

In the following days, Fan Gui began to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the Yuan army's troop deployment outside the city.

The investigation, which covered every detail, lasted for a full seven days.

Late on the eighth day, a group of several hundred people, fully armed, secretly crossed the Xiangyang waterway.

Thanks to their reconnaissance efforts over this period, they evaded all the scouts like ghosts in the night.

When the troops arrived near the Yuan-Mongol camp under the cover of night, the hundreds of men instantly split into two detachments of different sizes.

Fan Gui looked at Li Hu, who was leading a small force, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.

Because he knew that Li Hu's departure might very well be their last farewell.

Li Hu then noticed Fan Gui's reddened eyes and, feigning composure, whispered:

"Why are you crying? This time, I, Tiger, am going to fight for the survival of the people of my Wu Kingdom. Even if I die, I will definitely be remembered for generations to come."

"But you absolutely must survive. My sister is still waiting for you to come back and marry her."

Fan Gui nodded, his eyes red-rimmed, the sorrow in his eyes only intensifying.

Seeing Fan Gui nod, Li Hu paused for a moment before speaking again in a low voice:

"Brother Gui, don't disappoint His Majesty, don't let me die in vain."

……

After saying this, Li Hu led his squad directly south.

Fan Gui, on the other hand, went around to the north.

After arriving at the campsite, Li Hu turned around and whispered to the monks who had followed him:

"Brothers, this operation concerns the fate of our Wu Kingdom. If we succeed, it will bring blessings to millions of Han people."

"With such good deeds, you monks might just become Buddhas on the spot."

Li Hu's joke immediately eased the tension of the nearly one hundred monk soldiers who had followed him.

At this moment, they all chuckled and replied:

"Aside from the tough training, His Majesty has allowed us to enjoy all the riches of the world during this period. Even if we die, it will have been worth it."

"That's right. If we don't die this time, His Majesty said he would guarantee us a lifetime of wealth and glory."

"Yes, His Majesty said to find me a beautiful wife when I get back."

"Pah! You frivolous monk!"
