Ma'am help, the general is in trouble again

She understood that the Beiyuan Kingdom was the strongest among the Seven Kingdoms, so how could it show cowardice to the Ye Kingdom, which was at the bottom? Even if there are difficulties, I will never back down. I will fight to the end and maintain my self-esteem and self-improvement.

While the two were talking, after the last ray of light on the horizon was hidden, thousands of mountains and mountains were shrouded in boundless darkness.

Zheng Quchi felt the cold touch on the back of her hand. She lowered her eyes and touched it with her hand, but it was melted snow...

"Yu Wensheng, it's snowing."

She raised her head and couldn't see clearly, but she could feel the icy snow network surrounding her. In the distance, under the light of the fire, snowflakes fell, bringing an infinitely quiet and beautiful snow scene to the entire mountain col and forest.

Yu Wensheng took Zheng Quchi's hand and pulled her closer. He touched her upturned face and stroked her cold cheek with his fingertips: "You can defend yourself against sharp weapons, but can you defend yourself against snow?"

"Of course." Zheng Quchi thought he was wiping off the snow for her, and didn't care about this gesture. Instead, he said with a proud face: "This is one-piece armor, seamlessly spliced. Although it looks weird, its function is But it is extremely powerful. In addition to basic resistance to swords, it is also waterproof, fireproof and concealed weapon.”

Yu Wensheng tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "It's indeed weird, but I dare not say it for fear that you will be unhappy."

Zheng Quchi was stunned for a moment. After he realized what he was talking about, he glared at him: "The only one is called rare and special. My weird way of saying it is just to meet your eyes, not really weird, understand?"

"I understand, I have no vision."

Just smile, smile, what's so funny?

"There will definitely be a heavy snowfall tonight, how should the soldiers get along?" Zheng Quchi sighed, then remembered the topic they had talked about before, and she said seriously: "Since you are sure that the Beiyuan Army will not get reinforcements even if there are no reinforcements. If they choose to attack, then when will they choose to attack tonight or wait until the snow stops?”

"We suffered the severe cold test, and so did they. It's just that I was prepared for it, but they were not." Yu Wensheng answered both her former question and the latter question in one sentence.

Snow is not scary. He had anticipated it and made preparations for it. Therefore, no matter when they choose to attack, he has a plan to deal with it.

"...Maybe they don't dare to act rashly in the snow tonight, right?" Zheng Quchi murmured.

"This... I can't guess."

He held her in one hand and the reins in the other, heading down the slope to take shelter from the wind.

Zheng Quchi followed his long legs with small steps, raised his head and asked, "What do you mean by not being able to guess correctly?"

He only said: "Everything can only be done with two hands, but no plan can lead to the end."

After hearing this, Zheng Quchi remained silent for a long time.

However, when Yu Wen Sheng saw her distressed and thoughtful look, he paused for a moment and asked her silently.

Zheng Quchi confessed: "Actually... I hope they can wait until dawn before taking action, so that I can have a way to deal with the iron horse of the public."

Yu Wensheng nodded and asked thoughtfully, "Do you need my help?"

Zheng Quchi opened his eyes and nodded heavily: "I need it."

Special need.

"Okay, no matter whether the Beiyuan Army will mutiny tonight, I will prevent them from taking action."

He said it with such certainty, as if everything was under his control. Although Zheng Quchi complained in his heart, it was undeniable that no matter how exaggerated he said, she still believed him.

"You help me hold them off for one night, and I will deal with that troublesome iron horse machine for you tomorrow. Then I wish us a happy cooperation." She naturally stretched out her little hand.

Yu Wensheng didn't understand this kind of "etiquette", but he still took her other little hand, slowly opened the distance between his palms, inserted it between the fingers, and finally interlocked his fingers.

Zheng Quchi looked at him with an incomprehensible look, but he asked "innocently": "Is it such a happy cooperation?"

"...Don't pretend to be innocent for me, you are obviously full of evil."

She took her hand out of his, then held his fingertips and shook them twice: "This is called happy cooperation."

But Yu Wensheng just looked at her and smiled, as if no matter what she said or did, he looked happy.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, the bonfire that had just been lit gradually went out. Without the lighting of the fire and the source of warmth, the surroundings were even darker.

"The fire is out, can they go to avoid the snow?" Zheng Quchi asked Yu Wensheng.

Yu Wensheng said: "There is no place to avoid the snow here."

"Then they... just stood there in the snow all night?" She frowned.

"Otherwise?" he asked with a smile.

Zheng Quchi knew that the soldiers could not leave their posts without authorization. They could not even move, let alone hide from the snow, without orders from above.

"At least let them warm up..."

Yu Wensheng waved his hand, and the snowflakes that had accumulated on Zheng Quchi's head and shoulders were swept away: "With such heavy snow, no fire can not be extinguished."

Zheng Quchi was suddenly awakened. She clapped her hands and said, "I have a way."

Zheng Quchi left Yu Wensheng behind and called for some help. He piled the firewood high again, then pulled out a bamboo jar from his waist and poured the black viscous liquid on it, then blew the fire sticks to light it.

Unlike other bonfires that were extinguished by wind and snow, it slowly burned into a raging fire in such harsh weather, instantly lighting up a large area around it.

Attracted by the fire, many soldiers turned their heads and looked this way, saying in surprise: "What...what is going on?"

They were surprised again and again.

"Why can't the fire be extinguished despite such a heavy snowstorm?"

Yes, there is such a strong wind and such heavy snow, but the firewood piled by the lady will not be extinguished?
At this time, someone noticed something strange: "Do you smell, is there a strange smell in the air?" Someone raised his nose and sniffed hard: "Hey, there is indeed it."

"It seems like... fierce fire oil, right?"

This sentence was like clearing the sky from the clouds, and they finally solved their doubts.

"Yes! It must be fire oil. Only by pouring fire oil on the firewood can it burn for a long time."

Yu Wensheng approached Zheng Quchi. Under the firelight, her hair was fiery red and her pupils were bright and bright, making her more charming than a ball of flame.

"Where did you get the fire oil?" he asked.

Zheng Quchi felt the magical power of the flame, and the chill in her body was being driven away bit by bit. She held her hands that were red with cold and said: "I formed a team under the rocks to the west of Wubao. Go to mine and dig, this is the sample that was sent to me not long ago.”

sample? This word is quite new.

"But you can only light this bonfire."

"Yes, although it can't light up everyone, but seeing such a fire burning in the dark night, doesn't it make people feel a lot warmer?" she said with a smile.

Yu Wensheng stared at the fire, but he was thinking about the fierce fire oil in his heart: "Yeah."

After the fire burned completely, she found an iron pot and put clean snow water in it to boil. She sat by the fire. After the water boiled, she asked the cook to get hot water, and then went to bring warmth to the soldiers. .

"It's hard to say anything else, but the hot water pipes are enough for tonight."

It doesn’t take much, just drink a few sips of hot water when the cold is unbearable, which is equivalent to a temporary emergency.

Regarding her behavior of "doting" on the soldiers, Yu Wensheng didn't say anything and just indulged her silently.

Although in his opinion, the garrison soldiers on the border have been training hard all year round and have already developed a body of copper skin and iron in the face of various harsh environments. They will not fall down after a mere night of cold snow.

When the soldiers were warmly treated with warm water, they were all flattered.

"This is the hot water that Madam personally heated with strong fire oil..."

"We never had times like this in the past, when we were hot or cold, we had to rely on perseverance to survive. Now, after taking a sip, not only the body is warmed, but also the heart seems to be warmed."

"Hey, you kid can talk. If you talk more, madam, they won't be able to hear your flattery."

When the others heard this, they burst into laughter.

"Sure enough, Madam is different from us elders. Not only does she know how to make weapons, but she is also gentle and kind. She is simply the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. You must express our gratitude to Madam when you go back."

"Yeah yeah."

They gave many instructions to the cooks who came to deliver water.

The cook also smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will bring it to you. Okay, I have to go and give it to others. Let's go."

The Ye Army's side was backed by a mountain slope. Although the falling snow could not be avoided, the strong wind was able to offset it. However, the situation on the Beiyuan Army's side was miserable. It was freezing cold and unable to light a fire. Naturally, it was extremely cold. Shivering.

Pu Jiadi would never withdraw his troops, so Gongshu Jiruo thought of a way to get people into the "iron horse" to temporarily avoid the wind and snow.

However, the space inside the "Iron Horse" was limited and could only accommodate a few people. However, this did not solve the problem of a large number of troops being attacked by wind and snow. The remaining people could only rely on carrying to avoid the wind and snow.

"The snow is so heavy tonight, the Beiyuan Army will definitely not raise troops, right?"

"Who knows, in short, we have to pay close attention and never let up."

Sure enough, their concerns were right. In the latter half of the night, when people are most likely to doze off, they seemed to hear something. A team covered with masks came late at night.

But he didn't expect that Yu Wensheng had already made arrangements at various critical points. The loopholes he had specially left were actually to lure the enemy deeper. The area near that place was filled with thorns and thorns. Once anyone tried to cross the border through other routes, they would be punished. Harmful.

Realizing that the other party had been prepared for a long time, the spy in the middle of the night was frightened. He turned around and planned to go back wounded, but he didn't want to turn around and see the living Yama, his face pale with fear...

It snowed all night, and everyone spent it in torment. Half asleep and half awake, they kept praying for dawn and the snow to stop.

But obviously the weather didn't follow people's wishes. Even at dawn, the snow on the mountains still showed no sign of stopping, but it changed from heavy snow to light snow.

Zheng Quchi, who was sitting next to a pile of still-warm ashes, suddenly opened his eyes, still a little dazed.

"I was startled. Are you having a nightmare?"

A concerned and soft voice came from the side.

Zheng Quchi turned his head and saw that Yu Wensheng was gently rubbing his stiff and sore neck and shoulders.

She had been busy heating water last night, and she lost consciousness just before dawn. She squinted for a short while, and she didn't know when she fell asleep on his shoulder.

"feeling bad?"

"Not really."

Zheng Quchi raised his head and stood up happily: "It's dawn? There was really no enemy attack last night..."

Yu Wensheng smiled and said nothing, but did not mention what happened last night to her. He only said: "Just do whatever you want."

Zheng Quchi also moved his hands and feet that were numb and stiff in the morning. His eyes were bright and he smiled with his white teeth: "Okay, I will go to the rear camp and wait for my return!"

However, before she returned, the war between the two armies resumed without warning, and it was an all-out war without reservation. (End of chapter)
