A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

After Qin Lide left, Zhao Daxuan also activated his perception domain.

They had intended to see how to defend the area, but unexpectedly discovered that the village was surrounded by a number of haphazardly distributed ditches.

He got up, left the tent, and walked toward the nearest ravine.

Upon arriving at the site, it was discovered that these gullies were numerous, varying in width and depth, and many had collapsed and been filled with sand and gravel.

These were likely dug up by the city guards who used to garrison the city to disrupt the continuity of the Tartar cavalry's charge.

Now he has someone reprocess it, and it can be used again soon.

Then he wandered around the village, using his sensory domain to continue exploring the surroundings.

Wangbei Village truly lives up to its reputation as an isolated island far from Wangbei City, surrounded by desolation.

Apart from the field in front of the village entrance, there aren't even a few large trees around.

I originally planned to cut down some trees nearby to make barricades, but now it seems that if I want to make some barricades, I'll have to send my men a little further away to cut down trees.

After walking around, his subordinates had also prepared dinner for the day.

Zhao Daxuan sat in front of the fire in the center of the tent and called over Li Erlong and a group of squad leaders. Soon, people crowded around Zhao Daxuan.

"Zhao Fubao, tomorrow you take five squads of brothers to repair the surrounding ditches. These ditches can interrupt cavalry charges."

Zhao Daxuan ate his meal while giving instructions.

"Li Erlong, take the rest of the brothers to a more distant place, cut down some tree stumps, and make them into barricades."

"We don't have the best conditions right now, so let's do these two things first. At least we'll have some basic defense facilities to provide everyone with a relatively safe environment."

"In addition, Village Chief Qin said that, as usual, Dazi will send someone over in the next couple of days, so everyone should keep an eye out and be prepared at any time."

Li Erlong and the others nodded solemnly and replied in unison, "Yes, sir!"

That night was unusually peaceful.

Apart from the howling wind, there was nothing else outside the tent.

The next day, urged by his biological clock, Zhao Daxuan opened his eyes, dressed, and went out of his tent.

At this moment, Li Erlong and Zhao Fubao were leading people to dig trenches, while some others were cooking breakfast.

Upon seeing Zhao Daxuan come out, Li Erlong ran over.

"Sir, it's still early. Fu Bao and I will organize some people to clear the ditch first. After breakfast, I'll take some people to cut down trees," Li Erlong said first.

Zhao Daxuan nodded, saying indifferently, "It's fine, you can arrange it yourselves."

After everyone finished breakfast, they all got busy with their tasks as Zhao Daxuan had instructed them the day before.

Zhao Fubao led his men to clear the ditches, while Li Erlong led his men south to cut down trees.

Zhao Daxuan sat upright in place, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, but in reality, he would occasionally use his perception domain to spy on the movements to the north, in case the Tartars suddenly attacked.

After noon, just as Zhao Fubao and his men were working enthusiastically, Zhao Daxuan suddenly opened his eyes, a slight smile curving his lips.

coming!

The Tartar scouts have arrived!

In his perception, there were five horses being ridden towards them from the north, moving slowly but steadily.

Zhao Daxuan got up and returned to his tent. When he came out again, he had a bow and arrow in his hand, which was the [Sun Chasing Divine Bow] that he had won as a reward from the roulette wheel.

The Sun Chasing Divine Bow is about five feet long, with a dark gold color and patterns resembling a sun crown.

The material is neither wood nor metal; it feels warm and smooth like jade to the touch, yet it is as heavy as black iron, and it exudes an inexplicable sense of pressure.

The bow arms are decorated with reliefs of two three-legged golden crows, their beaks perfectly positioned to hold the bowstring.

The bowstring was also extraordinary; under the refraction of sunlight, it faintly emitted a flame-like glow.

It looks incredibly hot, but it feels cool and comfortable to the touch.

Upon closer inspection, one will notice that the light around the Sunset Bow is slightly dim, as if even the sunlight has been absorbed by the bow itself.

Some people noticed Zhao Daxuan's actions and couldn't help but look up.

Many people stared in astonishment upon discovering the Sun Chasing Divine Bow in Zhao Daxuan's hand.

"Wow, what an amazing bow and arrow!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

The exclamation made the others who were digging the trench look up.

Following the gazes of the others towards Zhao Daxuan, they all gasped in shock.

What an amazing bow and arrow!

This is unheard of, it's like a legendary artifact!

In their view, such a divine arrow could only exist in mythology.

Even Zhao Fubao, who was closest to Zhao Daxuan, was extremely surprised when he saw the bow and arrow in Zhao Daxuan's hand.

He had never heard of Zhao Daxuan possessing such a miraculous bow and arrow, let alone seen one.

After Zhao Daxuan took the Sun Chasing Divine Bow out of the tent, he drew five arrows, nocked them on the bowstring, and then remained still.

Watching Zhao Daxuan's actions, Zhao Fubao and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, afraid that their breathing would disturb Zhao Daxuan.

Zhao Daxuan waited, waiting for the five scouts to get closer, to prevent any other teams behind them from being scared away by his rash attack.

3 km, 2.5 km, 2 km…

The five scouts stopped when they were only a kilometer away from their camp, and then peered at them from a distance.

Zhao Daxuan sensed that there were no other teams behind them, so it seemed that they were just scouts who had come to gather information in advance.

So, without holding back, Zhao Daxuan slowly pulled back the bowstring, which resembled a blazing fire, by applying force with his fingers.

As the bowstring was drawn, the sunburst pattern on the bow gradually lit up.

The five ordinary arrows were also covered with a faint golden light, and Zhao Daxuan only stopped when the bowstring was drawn halfway.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. Zhao Daxuan closed his eyes, locked onto the five scouts ahead in his senses, and then abruptly opened his eyes, releasing the tightly drawn bowstring.

Five ordinary arrows on the bowstring vanished instantly.

There was no deafening explosion, no thunderous clatter, only a faint, ethereal "clang" as the bowstring returned to its place.

Those present could only vaguely see five pale golden streaks piercing the sky and heading north.

Two breaths later, the scouts on horseback to the north were surveying Zhao Daxuan's camp from afar. Before they could investigate, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Before they could even react to what it was, their bodies suddenly stiffened, as if they had been struck by an invisible giant hammer.

The men were thrown back violently, flying backward and falling off their horses. At the same time, a hole the size of a bowl appeared in their chests, from which blood gushed out.

Only then did a faint yet clear sound, like the shattering of a glass, come from the distant horizon.

Zhao Daxuan slowly lowered the longbow in his hand. The faint light on the bow quickly faded, leaving only its original restrained dark gold color.

With the Sun Chasing Divine Bow as a backdrop, Zhao Daxuan seemed to exude an additional layer of majesty, and the way his subordinates looked at him was filled with more fervor than the respect they had shown before.

He let out a long breath and turned to look at Zhao Fubao and the others. "Send a few men to bring back the enemy scouts' corpses and their horses."
