Chapter 379 The enemy gave me a chance to pick up the pieces, and I fought back fiercely
Chen Xiangxiu was uneasy at the moment, and she didn't know why, but she was always worried and uneasy. Wanwan was still in the clinic, so only Xu and she were at home.
She didn't dare to say anything and just endured it. In her life, she rarely encountered such a situation, and she didn't know if something happened to the man outside.
There are only four women left in the family now. Ye Tingyu follows Du Wanwan to help at the People's Clinic, while Xu stays at home with her and does housework.
Although they were wives and concubines, they got along like real sisters. Chen Xiangxiu never made things difficult for Xu, knowing that it was not easy for her. As a house-born child, she was destined to be a slave from birth.
No matter how talented you are, you cannot make your own decisions on everything and can only rely on your master to survive.
Xu was abiding by her duties, knowing that concubines had no say, and rarely showed off in front of Ye Zhenghai. She even dared not to have more children, and drank the sterilizing medicine after giving birth to a daughter.
The sons and daughters born out of wedlock are as lowly as slaves. She herself has suffered enough from being unable to control herself, so how can she bear to see her children become as lowly as her?
As soon as her daughter was born, she took the initiative to put her in the care of Chen Xiangxiu, with the aim of giving her daughter a good background.
The lady accepted it very generously. She was so grateful that how could she dare to ask for anything else?
Seeing that the lady was in a state of anxiety today, Xu looked at her several times, and finally couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Madam! What's wrong with you? Why do you look so uneasy?"
When asked about it, Chen Xiangxiu's eyes turned red and she covered her chest, "I don't know what happened either. It's very irritating here, just like the day 20 years ago when the master was injured in the battle with the people of Southern Xinjiang. I'm worried, could it be that the master was also injured in the border town?"
Xu's heart was beating fast, but she looked calm. "No, Madam, you are worrying too much. The master is with the eldest and second sons. The eldest son is very skilled in martial arts. How could he let the master get hurt?"
Ye Tingxiao's status as the crown prince has been stripped, and Xu now calls him "the eldest son".
"You are right, Zhongyuan is very good at martial arts, and he has learned the true skills from the master. The master will be fine. I'm just worrying too much." Chen Xiangxiu muttered to himself, walking back and forth in the yard, feeling extremely annoyed.
Others may not know, but she knows it. Her premonition is very accurate. Something must have happened to the master or the two sons.
Xu didn't dare to say much. She rarely saw her wife so confused and restless.
But the border town is thousands of miles away from the capital. Even if they knew that the master and the others were in trouble, what could they do?
It’s better not to say anything, so as not to scare the lady and cause yourself unnecessary trouble.
Ye Tingxiao from the border town treated his father's wounds and left the house after seeing that he was not seriously injured. He could not escape from the battlefield as the enemy had not been defeated yet.
Because of the heightened ice wall protection, no matter how powerful the crossbows of the Qiezi were, they still couldn't capture the city in front of them. It had been two days, and it was not a big deal if it continued like this. The Qiezi army suffered heavy casualties.
The border town army where Yetingxiao was located seized a lot of crossbows and used them to attack them.
Not only Juezi knew how to use the crossbow, but Ye Tingxiao also knew how to use it. He taught the people around him how to use it, and the people around him taught other soldiers, and many people learned it.
As for the crossbow arrows, they were all picked up from the battlefield.
The soldiers were all stunned. These Wei soldiers were really despicable. They used their weapons to kill their people and then hid behind the ice wall.
This is the battle plan formulated by Ye Tingxiao, which was taught to him by his family Wanwan when they were fighting guerrilla warfare.
[When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy stays, we harass; when the enemy is tired, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we advance.]
Although some tactics are not suitable for this war, the weapons sent by the enemy can still be picked up.
What is this called?
The enemy gave me something to pick up and I fought back fiercely.
The commander thought Ye Tingxiao was a real talent and did not hinder him from giving full play to his talents. After all, all the credit for defending the border town would be his.
In the future, you should be nicer to the father and son of the Ye family. They are the real generals who can come up with various ways to deal with the hateful Zi.
A small border town slowed down their progress. Qiezi felt it was not worth it, so he called off his troops and changed his route to another place.
When the commander heard that Qiezi had withdrawn his troops, he was overjoyed and thanked Ye Tingxiao for his strategies and methods in front of all the soldiers.
Although there were many casualties in the border town in this battle, they finally won.
Ye Tingxiao told the commander: "My father is injured, I have to go back to take care of him. Order the soldiers to pick up the crossbows and arrows, and we will also organize a commando team with crossbows."
The commander was full of praise and said, "You are right. I will arrange it right away. Go home and take good care of your father. If you need anything, go to the military doctor's office."
"Thank you!"
After Ye Tingxiao finished speaking, he bowed to the commander and then left.
The deputy general beside the commander was not convinced: "Who is this guy? Why does the commander have to listen to him in everything?"
Turning back and glaring at the deputy general, the commander angrily said: "If you had his ability and led us to defeat the enemy, I would listen to you.
He has no ability, but he is very jealous. He doesn't even look at the achievements that the father and son of the Ye family have brought to the border town. They are great generals guarding a place, they have real abilities, and they invented the automatic crossbow.
Now it has fallen into the hands of the enemy, who are using it to attack us. The father and son of the Ye family have also been exiled here. How ridiculous is that?"
The deputy general stopped talking. Of course he knew who the Ye family father and son were, but he had only heard of them and had never seen them.
Today, he saw that he was indeed extremely brave. In fact, he admired Ye Tingxiao very much. He just didn't know him and thought he was just an unknown person. He didn't expect that he was a member of the Ye family.
"He said his father was injured, why didn't he send him to the military medical department?" The deputy general looked at Ye Tingxiao's back and asked puzzledly.
"Why do you care so much?" The commander casually gave his deputy a slap. "They have their own ideas and plans, so we just need to cooperate with them. Just wait and see! They won't stay here for long, and they will return to the capital one day.
We have to build good relations with them. When we go back in the future, we don't ask them to look at us differently, but just ask them not to hate us, okay? The Ye family's son and the prince were classmates, so how can they have an ordinary relationship?"
The deputy general said "Ah", and then "Oh", indicating that he understood. Since he has a backer, they, a small border town general, really can't afford to offend him.
When he returned home, it was almost dawn. Seeing his father asleep in bed, Ye Tingxiao prepared to cook.
After coming here, he learned a lot of life skills, and he can cook for his daughter Wanwan when he goes home. He can also wash clothes, mend shoes and socks, and is good at sewing.
When Du Xiaoer came back, he was holding a pheasant in his mouth. When he saw Zamao, his eyes lit up. He instantly threw the pheasant in his mouth aside and flew towards it.
"Za Mao! You're here! Is the capital city fun?"
