"Crossbows..." Gongshu Jiruo was stunned for a long time: "She is indeed a genius. The weapons she modified are not only incredibly lethal, but if used properly, they can also win against overwhelming odds and turn defeat into victory."
Hou Feiqing was willing to admit that Zheng Quchi was indeed remarkable, and could even surpass Yuwen Sheng to become their Beiyuan Kingdom's number one target of vigilance. But was now the time to praise her?
He looked helpless and asked for help: "I underestimated her abilities, but what should we do now?"
Gongshu Jiruo turned to look behind him and said calmly, "But it just so happens that my iron horse is the nemesis of her crossbows."

When Zheng Quchi and the others rushed back to the vicinity of the battle between the two armies, they saw that the situation below had undergone tremendous changes since she left.
The Beiyuan army used their iron cavalry to hold the line, neither attacking nor retreating. Their cannons and crossbows could not cause any devastating damage, so they stopped pursuing the attack. The Ye army seemed to be assessing the threat posed by the iron cavalry, and for a time, the two sides were locked in a stalemate.
Why has the Beiyuan army stopped attacking?
Zheng Quchi guessed, "Perhaps they are waiting for their main force..."
The Beiyuan army was originally divided into three groups, with the other two groups taking a detour and arriving around the same time. If the three armies then joined forces to launch a general attack on the Ye army, the situation would be dangerous.
The most immediate and decisive action should be to eliminate the threat posed by the "iron horse" (referring to the heavy armored vehicles).
"Now that there is a temporary ceasefire, let's head to the Ye army to report the news."
"But how do we get there?"
There were Northern Abyss troops blocking the way in front of the cliff, and sheer cliffs behind it. Unless they could fly, how could they possibly parachute into the ranks of the Ye army?
No, it's not entirely impossible...
Zheng Quchi saw a relatively narrow cliff slope away from the Ye army. The weather was cold and damp, and it was definitely not feasible to slowly climb up from the bottom of the cliff. However, if he used a parabola, he might be able to swing to the top smoothly.
