Luger returned to Waqiaogou with more than 6,000 men. Finding that the enemy did not pursue them, he continued to stay there.

He is not a man of courage but no strategy. What happened today is really strange.

He thought about it for a long time and finally guessed the truth.

The powerful thing that exploded from the ground should be a weapon.

Thinking of this, he felt very depressed. The enemy's weapons were so powerful, how could he fight this battle?

But thinking of the military order he had signed, he could not retreat.

Although there are still 6,800 people now, many soldiers are injured. I am afraid that there are only 6,000 people who can fight.

He needed to think carefully about how to deal with this new type of weapon.

Finally, an extremely sinister look appeared on his face, and he immediately ordered his deputy general to take a thousand cavalrymen away from the camp.

Five miles away, Gu Xi and others were cooking rice and stewing meat, enjoying the feast.

Among the captured spoils of war, there were more than a thousand intact war horses and some weapons, which were sent to the camp by a team arranged by Chu Zhao.

As for the war horses that were killed in the explosion, they could not be wasted. Some were sent to the camp, and some were processed and stewed in a pot.

Gu Xi took out a lot of seasonings and spices, and the cooked horse meat was very fresh and delicious. For a moment, the whole camp was filled with the fragrance.

The soldiers ate meat with big mouthfuls while discussing the battle that took place this morning.

"Captain Qi said that the iron lump is called a landmine. It's small. If you step on it, it will explode, and the area within a radius of ten feet will be affected."

"The battle this morning was full of Turkic cavalry. Tsk tsk, I thought we brothers would die here this time. I didn't expect that the enemy would be blown up to the sky before I even drew my sword. Hahahaha, can I say that I saved my life?"

"Tsk, what are you talking about? Our Captain Qi loves his soldiers like his brothers. Do you think he brought us here to die?" A special forces soldier said to a cavalryman with disdain.

"That's right, we didn't just save our lives for nothing, we saved our military merits for nothing."

……

While everyone was discussing, Chu Zhao sat in front of Gu Xi happily.

"Dasheng, how many mines do you have left in Heaven? Let's blow them up again!"

Gu Xi rolled her eyes at him. Who told her that the young general was mature beyond his years, and was an expert in both civil and military affairs?

Why did he feel that this guy was okay in terms of fighting skills, but his brain was like that of an idiot?

But Gu Xi also knew that this could not be blamed on Chu Zhao. She had the knowledge of a modern person, but Chu Zhao was still an ancient person, and his ability to accept things was very strong.

"Major General, the Turks are not fools. They stepped on a landmine once. Do you think they will step on it a second time?"

Chu Zhao slapped his forehead and said, "That's right. Look how excited I am. The Turkic army is like a frightened bird. We have laid mines. If they don't fall for it and refuse to step on them, it will be useless."

Gu Xi also saw the dark mass of Turkic cavalry in the morning. Their fighting power was very strong. If they were to fight head-on, their thousand-plus people would not be able to hold out for even an hour.

All she relied on were hot weapons.

In the age of hot weapons, war is not a battle of force, nor is it a battle of heads.

There are still two days left in the mission, so she needs to think carefully about how to completely defeat this Turkic vanguard.

Gu Xi’s consciousness entered the weapons mall.

As for guns, the only ones who can use guns at present are her special forces team, but their accuracy is not good enough. If the enemy rushes over regardless of anything, even if they can kill a group of them, most of the Turkic soldiers will still rush over. At that time, their 98K will have no advantage.

It seems that we can only use grenades, but considering the arm strength problem, we can only throw them a few dozen meters. The Turkic soldiers are good at riding and shooting. At this distance, if the enemy uses bows and arrows, they can also shoot and kill our soldiers.

Seeing that Gu Xi remained silent and had a troubled expression, Chu Zhao asked:

"Dasheng, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Xi exchanged a grenade from the weapon store and said to Chu Zhao:

"Brother Chu, let me ask you something. Is there any way to resist the enemy's arrows at a distance of several dozen meters?"

Chu Zhao said: "Of course, use a shield."

Well, okay, please forgive her for being a modern person who doesn’t know much about cold weapons and actually forgetting about the shield, a weapon for self-defense.

"Do we have shields?"

Chu Zhao shook his head, "Because we set out lightly, we didn't bring shields."

Then he asked with surprise, "Are you going to use another big move?"

Gu Xi nodded and said:

"Brother Chu, this thing in my hand is called a grenade."

"What eggs?" Chu Zhao didn't hear clearly.

Gu Xi rolled his eyes at him, what a fool.

"Well, it's called a hand grenade. It's the same type of weapon as the mines we used last night, but it doesn't need to be buried underground. You just need to pull the fuse and throw it out to explode. But after all, everyone's arm strength is limited. When throwing a hand grenade, you may be shot by the enemy's bow and arrow. So we need shields now."

Chu Zhao said, "Isn't this easy? I will immediately send someone to the main camp to get the shields, but the main camp is eighty miles away. It will probably take until midnight to get there."

Gu Xi said, "Then hurry up. Anyway, the Turkic vanguard army just suffered a great loss today, and they probably won't dare to take any action today. Send someone to the camp to get 300 shields, and arrange another 300 cavalrymen. I will teach everyone to practice throwing grenades."

Chu Zhao immediately began to make arrangements and the soldiers took quick action.

Gu Xi explained in detail the operation methods and precautions of the grenade, and personally demonstrated the throwing action.

To prevent accidental injuries, Gu Xi asked everyone to practice using stones that were about the same weight as grenades.

After teaching, Gu Xi asked Chu Zhao to lead them in practice and returned to the tent.

Tomorrow is Monday, and she has an appointment for the theoretical test for Subject 4. After passing this test, she can get her driver's license.

I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to practice questions. I took this opportunity to take out my phone and familiarize myself with the questions.

Northwest Army Camp.

Deputy General Sun Feng and Deputy General Wu Chi were sitting by a campfire grilling meat.

Among the spoils delivered today, there were many dead horses, so the general distributed the horse meat to everyone.

"General Sun, I heard that the victory of the young general and his men this morning was because when the Turkic army rushed over, there was a thunder explosion on the ground, and those Turkic soldiers were killed by the thunder. They were really lucky, and this military achievement was like picking up something for nothing. If they hadn't stolen your limelight, this military achievement would have been yours."

Sun Feng's face darkened and he said:

"General Wu, what nonsense are you talking about? Do I, Sun, want to compete with two young boys for military merit? Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, luck is also a kind of strength. Although the young general and Captain Qi are young, they are still quite capable."

Wu Chi chuckled and said:

"I feel sorry for you. The general is too partial to his own son. Over the years, you have risked your life for the Chu family army—"

Sun Feng flicked his sleeves, stood up and left, his voice cold:

"General Wu, please don't say such things again. If this gets out, what kind of person will I become?"

When Wu Chi saw Sun Feng leave, he snorted coldly and continued to grill the meat.
