Chapter 377: Ye Tingfeng plucks up the courage to kill Ji Zi
"As expected of the Marquis of Pingyang, he can come up with such a good way to deal with the idiot. Why can't we think of it? Is this the difference between people?"
"Of course, with our brains, how could we possibly come up with such a good idea? The Marquis of Pingyang and his son were the ones who developed the repeating crossbow."
"The crossbow is something that belongs to our Great Wei. How come Jizi also has it? Pingyang Hou and his son were even banished here. Heaven is so unfair!"
"What can we do? The old man in the capital is confused and afraid of loyal ministers and generals."
The soldiers joked and expressed their feelings while working.
Ye Tingxiao had taught them the technique of pouring ice walls without reservation. It was actually very simple. It just involved chiseling off the ice blocks and piling them up one by one. The material used to glue them together was water.
Pour water on a piece of ice, then put another piece of ice on it, wait for it to freeze, and the bonding is complete.
It is simple, convenient and fast. The soldiers were not optimistic about it at first, but after last night's battle, everyone realized the value of this ice wall.
The commander immediately gave orders to build ice walls wherever possible around the border town.
If there are not enough people, we ask the people nearby to come and help and provide meals.
It was also Ye Tingxiao's idea to use ice balls instead of stones. Last night's practice showed that his method was very effective.
Ye Zhenghai sat next to his son, his eyes full of worry.
"The King of Qi is likely to gain the upper hand. He has indeed obtained the blueprints for the automatic crossbow. Although the ice wall of the border town is a good option, it is still not good enough if the heavy crossbow is used."
Ye Tingxiao sighed silently: "Father! I'm betting that the northerners won't be able to make a heavy crossbow in a short time. They are too impatient, too arrogant, and too arrogant. They can't wait to test the light crossbow after making it."
"No matter what, the Northerners still won. They got what they had always dreamed of." Ye Zhenghai was worried. "Once the border town is lost, the next step will be unstoppable."
"Father! You are wrong to worry. The troops here are just a harassment. The northerners' goal is Liangjun City." Ye Tingxiao continued according to his own thoughts. "The current Liangjun City is probably controlled by the King of Qi. As long as the troops go there, they will definitely surrender without a fight."
"Liangjun City?"
Ye Zhenghai silently repeated the name, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart. That was the place where he grew up, started a family, married and had children, and spent most of his life there.
In that city, he was familiar with almost every street, every shop, and every household.
He and his father had guarded it for decades, but they never expected that it would fall into the hands of a thief in the blink of an eye.
The King of Qi has always wanted to take advantage of the Northern Kingdom to fish in troubled waters and seize the throne. Since the Liangjun City is controlled by his people, it is not impossible for him to give it up.
It would only be a pity for the people and soldiers in the city. Once Liangjun City was occupied by the rebels, their lives would be miserable.
At the prosperous end of the capital city, Zamao took Nana and Xiaohua through.
The three of them will leave here and fly to the border town thousands of miles away, handing over the things on their backs to Ye Tingxiao.
Although flying was tiring, Zamao's eyes were deep and bright, like two shining gems, and wisdom and courage were revealed deep in his eyes.
"Follow me closely, don't fall behind, we will set off to our destination immediately."
Looking at Nana, who was agile, light and plump, and a symbol of strength and speed, Zamao was very satisfied. As expected, she defeated five eagles and falcons to get her. Nana was very good.
I don’t know what’s good about it, but it’s good anyway.
And their little daughter Xiaohua is also very good, petite and cute.
With clear eyes and full of curiosity about the things around it, it follows behind them, flapping its wings hard, facing the strong wind without fear.
They flew out of the capital, flew over the green fields, and flew over the vast rivers.
Dancing with the wind, resonating with the rain, withstanding the cold of the wind and frost, resisting the severe cold of the snow. They walked through the wind and snow like warriors wielding swords on the battlefield.
They flew over mountains and hills, over rivers and streams, over forests and grasslands.
They avoided storms, hid from thunder and lightning, resisted cold and hunger. The journey was full of difficulties and challenges, but they never gave up.
The destination is a border town covered with ice and snow. There is none of the prosperity and bustle of the capital, only endless cold and silence.
Although it was difficult, they did it with immense perseverance and determination.
The closer they got to the border town, the lower the temperature became. Zamao led Nana and Xiaohua to dance in the cold wind, like a small boat drifting on an ice lake, unafraid of wind and snow, and not afraid of hardships.
When we arrived at the border town, it was already a moonlit night.
In the cold wind, we found Ye Tingxiao's accommodation, which was the home of Ye's father and son in the border town.
Ye Tingxiao and Ye Zhenghai were not at home. Ye Tingfeng had just returned and was overjoyed to see three falcons standing at the door.
I looked around and saw no one noticed, so I quickly led them all into the house.
He recognized Zamao, but not the other two. Seeing that they were carrying things on their backs, Ye Tingfeng quickly untied them.
"Sister-in-law asked you to come? And you brought so many things? That's great!"
Looking at the things on the tattered table, Ye Tingfeng looked at them, touched them, and his eyes became red unconsciously. When the enemy came last night, everyone went out to fight, and he also went.
It was his first time on the battlefield, and he had no experience, so he was very scared and his legs were weak. Seeing his elder brother and father fighting bravely, he also plucked up the courage to kill a enemy.
The man was about the same age as him, but his eyes were extremely fierce. It was obvious that they were the ones who invaded Wei, but he made it seem as if Wei was bullying them.
He didn't want to kill him, but the man called him a coward.
He was so angry that he raised the knife in his hand and chopped at him. Instead of getting angry, the man said to him, "Thank you!"
Later he saw clearly that the man's left leg had been stabbed and cut off. If he didn't stab him again, he might have died from the pain.
The final blow he delivered just ended his pain, no wonder he said thank you.
He felt sad when he thought that the man was about the same age as him, was forced to go to the battlefield, and finally died in a foreign country.
I don’t know if he, Dad, and Big Brother will also stay here forever like that guy last night.
Tonight, they were also preparing for the battle. He was assigned to supply ice cubes. Now that the ice cubes had not arrived yet, he went home to see them and have a drink of water.
Unexpectedly, they saw Zamao, who came with two other falcons and brought them a lot of things.
Seeing them at this time is like seeing relatives.
Yetingfeng took out the only remaining rabbit jerky in the house, tore it into strips, and fed it to Zamao, Nana, and Xiaohua.
"Don't go out for a while. There are invaders coming to the border town. There will be a battle tonight. I'm afraid they will capture you and make soup with you. When the war is over, my father and elder brother will be back. Give the letter to them, not to me. I'm leaving now. You can enjoy the dried meat slowly."
