Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

"Where does the water come from?" she asked.

He replied: "...find a way."

Zheng Quchi: "..." I dare say he just suggested it casually, and he didn't even think of a real solution.

However, this random suggestion happened to give Zheng Quchi a little inspiration.

She raised her head, looked at the sky, lost her mind for a while, and then said: "Gan Xin, look at how gloomy the weather is. Will there be a blizzard later?"

Gan Xin couldn't keep up with her sudden change in brain circuitry, but if he couldn't keep up, he couldn't keep up. Anyway, he would just answer whatever she asked.

Indeed, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the wind is strong and scraping against the bones. Even Gan Xin's sturdy iron and steel body is feeling the cold now, and his lips are turning purple.

"...Yes."

Fortunately, they had purchased enough winter supplies from Shengjing to keep the soldiers of Ye State warm, and they would not suffer a big loss in the cold weather at the border junction.

Zheng Quchi suddenly had an idea in her mind. She put her palms together and said, "Let's go, let's catch up quickly."

Gan Xin saw her expression moved, as if she had something urgent to do, so he asked: "Master, do you plan to catch up? But we may not be able to catch up with Gongshu Jiruo and them."

"It's not about chasing the public and losing, but chasing time. In short, we have to seize the time before there is room for recovery."

Cliff Mountain

The disgraced Pu Jiadi led the cavalry to charge, but the rear team was intercepted by crossbow cannons. The thousands of cavalry in front fell into the air for a while, and were hit by the opponent's hammers. into the hands of the Ye army.

The weapons in the hands of the opposing soldiers were all new types that had never been encountered on the battlefield before. The metal hammer head was connected to a chain, which was about five feet long. It was a rope-type concealed weapon. They used the weight of the hammer head and the iron chain. With the pulling force, throw the hammer head at them, which can not only entangle and cause chaos, but also hit the enemy hard.

Especially when the Beiyuan cavalry approached, they had not used their advantages at all. They were either beaten to the head and fell to the ground in pain, or the horse's feet were entangled with the iron rope and fell forward...

The high-spirited look on Pu Jiadi's face was met with failure. In the chaos, his eardrums were buzzing, and he didn't even know how he was pulled onto the horse by Hou Feiqing and then retreated backwards.

"More than half of our soldiers have been damaged, but you haven't even touched the opponent's skin. You still charge. Are you stupid?"

Seeing that Pu Jiadi had come to his senses and was not planning to turn back angrily, Hou Feiqing clamped his horse's belly and scolded him angrily.

"Impossible, how could they suddenly become so powerful? Where did their weapons come from? The arrival of a mere Zheng Quchi changed the entire armed force of the Ye army. Is this possible? Their Ye country was born to be conquered by us. Yuan Guo is treading mud under their feet, why should they stand up? I don’t believe it, I don’t accept it!”

Pu Jiadi roared loudly.

"Pu Jiadi! Do you want that stupid donkey's head on your neck to harm all the soldiers? Ye Jun is no longer the same as before. This is a fact. This is a fact you must admit. It's useless for you to be angry and shouting. , They just have more powerful weapons than our Beiyuan Army, so Yu Wensheng has already laid out a plan waiting for us blind people and fools to jump in! "

Pu Jiadi looked at the war-torn surroundings, with his eyes red: "Shut up!"

Suddenly, Hou Feiqing stopped his horse in a hurry and looked not far away in shock.

He murmured in surprise: "...Here he comes, the savior is here."

Pu Jiadi leaned back, barely avoiding being bitten by a dog: "Hou Feiqing, you fucking want to throw me to death!"

The sky was gray, and red flames ignited the surroundings. The dirty and black faces were full of tension and curiosity. Through the messy beacon smoke blown by the wind, we could see dust flying in the distance, and there seemed to be some angry waves. Sweeping towards this side, the formation is quite large.

Hou Feiqing recognized it at a glance: "It's Gong Yiruo, he's here!"

Pu Jiadi was also shocked to notice the movement at this moment: "What did he bring here?"

army?

Not like.

instrument? It's not like heavy and huge equipment has always been slow to move, so how could it create such a scene of thousands of troops coming to fight against each other.

Hou Feiqing rubbed his neck and his face turned red with excitement: "Iron horse, it must be an iron horse!"

What iron horse? Pu Jiadi was confused.

The Beiyuan Army responded to the enemy while retreating, starting a tug-of-war. After the rear troops joined forces, Pu Jiadi and Hou Feiqing rushed to the front where Gong was about to lose.

Compared with the well-dressed Gongshu Jiruo at this time, the two of them were like two deserters lingering on.

Gongshu Jiruo got off the carriage and glanced at the two of them: "Lost?"

"No, you haven't lost since you came!" Hou Feiqing gasped, but grinned wildly.

Pu Jiadi looked at the wooden horses behind him that could "move" on their own in surprise, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

The appearance of this tall iron horse is enough to shock people.

He abandoned the public and lost it, and excitedly ran to the iron horses, touching and knocking, and was surprised again and again.

"Really lost?"

Gongshu Jiruo's tone this time was obviously different from what he had asked before. Before, it was teasing and teasing, but now he was surprised and puzzled.

Hou Feiqing also put away the emotion on his face and nodded heavily towards him.

After briefly and quickly explaining to him the situation on the Ye Army's side, he said: "The other party figured out our military formation in advance, and they were sure to hit us one by one, but we knew nothing about them. This resulted in the defeat of this battle.”

"Ballista..." Gongshu Jiruo was stunned for a long time: "She is indeed a prodigy. The equipment transformed by her hands is not only incredibly lethal, but if used properly, it is easy to defeat more with less and turn defeat into victory."

Hou Feiqing is also willing to admit that Zheng Quchi is indeed amazing, and can even surpass Yu Wensheng and become their number one target in Beiyuan Kingdom, but is now the time to praise her?

He looked helpless and asked for help: "I once underestimated her ability, but what should we do now?"

Gongshu Jiruo turned around and looked behind him, and said calmly: "What a coincidence, my iron horse happens to be the nemesis of her crossbow."

When Zheng Quchi and the others rushed back to the area where the two armies were fighting, they saw that the situation below had undergone earth-shaking changes from before she left.

The Beiyuan Army resisted with their iron horses in front. They could not retreat without attacking. The artillery and crossbows could not break through the blockage and cause large-scale damage to them. They were no longer obsessed with attacking, and the Ye Army seemed to be assessing the threat of the iron horses. Both sides continued to attack. Time formed a stalemate.

"Why didn't the Beiyuan Army attack?"

Seeing the public defeat, Ruo Ruo arrived with counterattack weapons, but now he retreated his troops?

Zheng Quchi monitored the whole process, and she guessed: "Maybe they are waiting for their large army..."

Previously, the Beiyuan Army was divided into three groups at the fork in the road. The remaining two armies took separate detours and would arrive in about time. If the three armies converged to launch a general attack on the Ye Army, the situation would be dangerous.

The first thing to do is to make a decisive decision and deal with the threat of the "Iron Horse" first.

"Since there is a temporary truce, we will go to Yejun to report the news now."

"But how to get there?"

The Beiyuan Army is blocking the front of Guantou Cliff, and there are cliffs behind it. Unless they can fly, how else can they parachute into Ye Army's pile?
No, it’s not completely impossible…

Zheng Quchi saw a relatively narrow cliff slope away from Ye Jun. It was snowy, cold and damp at the moment. It would definitely not be possible to climb up slowly from the bottom of the cliff, but if he used a parabola, he might be able to swing to the top smoothly. go. (End of chapter)
