Chapter 346 Hunting Dogs on the Battlefield
Inside the Northern Barbarian army camp, in just two days, Chiduotu, a burly man, looked much more haggard, his sharp, eagle-like eyes now bloodshot.
Seeing Balu shake his head, he sighed heavily.
The grain and fodder mysteriously disappeared, and the military flag mysteriously burst into flames!
Could it be that a true god is about to destroy the Northern Barbarians?
"Bo Lie need not worry, reinforcements and supplies are on their way and will arrive in two days at most."
Balu had a large bruise on the corner of his mouth, which was from when he was hit on the elbow by Chiduotu a couple of days ago when he was pulling on him.
Chiduotu felt a little better after hearing what he said. Their biggest advantage was that they were close to the Northern Barbarians and could replenish their military supplies in a timely manner.
But the thought of those mysteriously disappeared grain supplies still pained him. He had been on the verge of driving the Jing army to its death when this unexpected turn of events occurred.
The food was secondary; what he cared about most was the two thousand hound soldiers in the reinforcements.
If he hadn't been forced into this situation these past two days, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to have his tamed treasures sent over.
Those hunting dogs were offspring of hyenas and wolves, and were fed flesh and blood from the moment they were separated from their mothers, making them extremely ferocious.
Because he was trained from a young age to be a good helper on the battlefield, his greatest skill is entanglement, which can be described as a fight to the death.
In the past, he used live people to train his hunting dogs. He was thrilled to see them effortlessly bite through people's necks.
Hopefully, these can also be used to properly intimidate the Northern Barbarian army this time.
Inside the Dajing military camp, the soldiers were all full of energy and high spirits.
I heard that the imperial court has already prepared winter clothing for them!
"This damn emperor has finally done something decent," Gu Yunqi said, lying on the tree trunk, praising Jun Shuyan for the first time ever.
He was in a great mood after winning another battle, and he was even happier when he thought of Gu Wenhuai's letter saying that he was living a very comfortable life in Shanquan Village.
Helian Yue held a map of the gemstone mine in his hand, and when Gu Yunqi leaned over to look at it, he noticed that several places had been marked.
"Ah Yue, didn't you already give it to Luo Zhi?"
"Even if you stare a few holes in the map, it's still not yours," he said gloatingly.
Before this, what he envied most about Helian Yue was that he had a mine, and he could become richer than a country just by digging around.
That's good, hehe, it's gone.
Helian Yue pointed to the marked spots with her long, slender fingers, her voice filled with happiness and pride, "So what? Luo Luo told me to dig them up if I wanted to."
He raised an eyebrow, his grip on the map tightening as he recalled the scene, his clear eyes filled with amusement.
What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
"You're my boyfriend, I can spend money on you whenever I want. You can do whatever you want without worry, as long as you don't kill or commit arson."
Recalling the way Wen Luozhi patted his shoulder and acted so ostentatiously when he spoke, he couldn't help but chuckle.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Gu Yunqi sneered. Whenever he talked about his good friend Wen Luozhi, he was like a completely different person.
Helian Yue didn't care about him at all, and said in a deep voice, "The national treasury is currently depleted, and most of the things that the court has transported over the past two days were purchased with money donated by the concubines in the harem."
Warfare is extremely expensive, but taxes have increased in recent years, and the tributes from various foreign states are also considerable.
How could the deficit have become so severe that the harem had to intervene? He was somewhat puzzled.
Gu Yunqi was unaware of this behind-the-scenes story, and after thinking about it, he frowned.
"Tsk," he murmured, stroking his chin, "Ah Yue, do you think someone might be embezzling military funds?"
How long has it been since the war with the Northern Barbarians began? There was no prior news of a deficit in the national treasury.
Helian Yue snapped his fingers, and suddenly a person who was wrapped up tightly with only his eyes showing appeared behind the two of them.
"Investigate thoroughly, every single detail must be clear."
The man nodded slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.
Helian Yue narrowed his eyes, already having a vague guess in his mind.
Two days later, Wen Luozhi and her group will be leaving.
Helian Yue was naturally reluctant to part with her, but danger lurked everywhere, so he hoped she would leave quickly. Staying here would keep him on edge every day.
Just as he was about to see Wen Luozhi off, Jiang Zhong suddenly ran over in a panic, almost falling over in his haste. Gu Yunqi caught him in time.
"General, strategist! The northern barbarians have suddenly launched a massive attack!"
"They even brought many livestock to the battlefield! General Jing didn't know what to do."
At this point, Jiang Zhong stood there and couldn't help but shiver.
He had just seen through the binoculars the general's wife had given him that the beast would jump up and bite people's necks whenever it saw them! The scene was extremely bloody.
Even if you can't bite it, it will stick to you like a dog skin plaster and you can't shake it off!
Clearly not expecting such a turn of events, Helian Yue looked at Wen Luozhi with a troubled expression.
"The soldiers need you more, don't worry about me."
Wen Luozhi gently nudged Helian Yue, urging him, "Go quickly, and remember to protect yourself."
Helian Yue kissed her forehead, clenched his fist, turned around, and walked away without looking back.
After they left, Wolf Overlord's eyes suddenly turned purple, and he nuzzled Wen Luozhi's leg affectionately, "Let's play a little longer and see what happens, okay? Let's not leave yet."
He had a gut feeling that staying here would lead to some fun things.
Anyway, Mo Li has something to protect him and two monks to protect him, so they don't need to rush over there.
Wen Luozhi was also worried, because according to what Jiang Zhong had just said, the Northern Barbarians might have come prepared this time.
The incident happened suddenly; perhaps Helian Yue will be going to the battlefield this time?
Thinking of this, her eyes lit up, and she asked the system to open the map and find them an excellent spot to watch the battle.
The two people and the wolf ran towards the battlefield, but the shadowy figure, startled, quickly appeared and blocked Wen Luozhi's path. "General's wife! You can't go there!"
His palms were sweaty; his back was still aching from being punished a couple of days ago.
If the general finds out that his wife has gone to the battlefield, he should just bring his own head to face him.
If something happens, the iron-clad men who were with him will naturally not escape either, and there will be no one to collect their corpses...
He looked at Wen Zixun pleadingly, thinking that the general's wife would probably listen to her brother.
Little did anyone expect that Wen Zixun looked up at the sky and pretended not to see it.
"Don't you know my capabilities? Don't worry, with me here, your general won't do anything to you."
The two figures in black and iron armor exchanged a glance, silently cursing in their hearts.
You said the same thing when you entered the Northern Barbarian army camp, but when you came back, you were the only one who was fine, while even that wolf got slapped twice.
The two could only watch helplessly as Wen Luozhi and her brother, along with Lang Batian, swaggered forward, and had no choice but to follow behind.
On the battlefield, Qin Yu shook off a hunting dog whose mouth was full of blood. Upon closer inspection, one could see that there were still many bits of flesh hanging from the dog's teeth.
The moment his leg trembled, the hunting dog that had been shaken off started to harass him again.
One wasn't enough, so another rushed over, its gaping maw aimed straight for his neck.
"Ah!" In his panic, he raised his hand to block, but the hunting dog bit his arm tightly, shaking its head and tearing at it with its mouth.
The hunting dog that was bothering him tackled him to the ground, and the smell of blood from the dog's mouth hit his face.
He was almost knocked unconscious by the fumes, and just as the hunting dog that had pounced on him was about to bite his neck, Jingyue appeared in time.
He shoved the hunting dog aside with his gun, and as he was about to stab it in the head, he bit Qin Yu's mouth and ripped it open, lunging at him with a piece of flesh in his mouth.
