My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World-Chapter 113: Kai Mu’s Fury

Accompanied by an elderly maidservant and the third-ranked maidservant, Madam Tan went to the main gate.

When she saw the wooden carts filled with supplies, she was surprised.

The team leader stepped forward and clasped his fists. "Madam General, we are here under General Tan’s orders. May we speak inside?"

Understanding how precious supplies were in these difficult times, Madam Tan stepped aside and said, "Please, come in."

At her signal, the team leader turned and ordered, "Move the supplies inside."

With his order, the soldiers began pushing the carts into the Tan mansion.

Once the last cart entered, the gate guards shut the doors, shielding the activities inside from curious eyes outside.

Turning to the team leader, Madam Tan asked, "Can you tell me what you have brought today?"

The team leader gave a signal to the soldiers. "Uncover the goods."

As the soldiers removed the burlap covers, the team leader explained, "Madam, these are fabrics, needles, and threads bestowed by Fairy Bai. General Tan was tasked by the Great General with producing new uniforms for the soldiers."

"There’s no one in the barracks skilled enough to make them, so General Tan instructed us to deliver the materials here. He hopes Madam can gather some women to handle the sewing."

Understanding her husband’s intention, Madam Tan nodded and asked, "Did he mention payment or how many workers he needs?"

The team leader shook his head. "Madam Tan may decide on those details and inform General Tan later."

Hearing this, Madam Tan smiled and said, "I see. Then, please move the supplies to the warehouse. I will speak with my husband about the details when he returns."

Clasping his fists, the team leader replied, "Yes, Madam."

Following the old maidservant, the soldiers pushed the carts toward the warehouse.

Madam Tan then turned to one of the maids and instructed, "Call the steward."

"Yes, Madam."

While Madam Tan began organizing workers for sewing the uniforms, Tan Pengtai and the soldiers finished setting up the first military tent.

Looking at the size of the tent, one of the soldiers exclaimed in surprise, "This tent is so big! How many people can live inside it?!"

Dusting the dirt off his hands, Tan Pengtai walked into the tent. When he saw how spacious the inside was, he said, "Judging by the size, this tent should be able to accommodate at least 15 people."

The soldiers who had followed him inside were ecstatic when they heard this.

"General Tan, if one tent can hold 15 people, then this batch of new tents could accommodate at least 45,000 people! That’s more than enough for all of us!"

Tan Pengtai nodded and added, "Although this batch of tents is sufficient for now, we still have workers in the smithy and farmlands. Not to mention, we are recruiting more soldiers every day. If we include everyone, these tents are far from enough."

The original strength of the Feng Army had been 150,000 troops. If Feng Xiyan intended to restore the army’s former glory, expanding the ranks was inevitable. With that in mind, this batch of tents was clearly insufficient.

Thinking of this, one of the soldiers asked, "General Tan, will you request more tents?"

"Of course," Tan Pengtai replied with a nod. "This general will report this matter to the Great General. You all continue setting up the tents and have the brothers move into the new ones."

The soldiers clasped their fists and responded in unison, "This subordinate accepts the order!"

With that, Tan Pengtai left the military tent and went to find Feng Xiyan. Before long, he found Feng Xiyan on the training ground and greeted him, "Great General."

Turning around, Feng Xiyan nodded at him and asked, "General Tan, why are you here?"

"This subordinate comes to report about the military tents." Tan Pengtai replied. "After studying the instructions provided by Fairy Bai, we successfully assembled the military tents."

Feng Xiyan’s eyes lit up at his words, and he asked further, "How are they? Are they suitable for our use?"

Tan Pengtai laughed and answered, "Very suitable. They are spacious, with windows on each side for ventilation. The material is thick and sturdy. There won’t be a problem even in strong winds or heavy storms."

"One tent can hold at least 15 people. This batch of military tents is enough for the current soldiers, but since we are recruiting new troops every day. There are also workers at the smithy and farmlands, so we will need more tents."

Feng Xiyan listened carefully and said, "This general understands. This general will inform Fairy Bai and request more military tents."

Since he still had tents to finish setting up, Tan Pengtai said, "Great General, this subordinate will return to complete the task."

Feng Xiyan waved his hand. "Go ahead. Thank you for your hard work, General Tan."

Tan Pengtai clasped his fists and responded, "This is what this subordinate should do. This subordinate takes my leave first."

While everyone at the Feng camp was busy setting up new military tents, chaos reigned in the Yuezhi Tribe’s camps.

Since their failed attempt to take Xiqiang City two days ago, more and more soldiers had secretly deserted. When Kai Mu learned of this, he was furious.

He kicked the reporting soldier and roared, "Why hasn’t anyone stopped those deserters?! Don’t you know the military rules?!"

The soldier was kicked in the stomach and fell to the ground, coughing up blood. "Cough!"

Despite the pain, the soldier pushed himself up and knelt before Kai Mu, not even wiping the blood from his lips.

Seeing how enraged Kai Mu was, the military advisor spoke up. "Supreme General, please calm down."

Instead of calming down, Kai Mu became even more furious.

He glared at the military advisor and asked, "How can this general calm down?! Our supplies are exhausted, and soldiers are deserting! Without supplies and troops, how are we supposed to fight this war?!"

The military advisor sighed and shook his head. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
