Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Looking at Huo Jinying who was coming hurriedly, Xia Qin asked softly: "Brother Huo, how is the selection of soldiers going?"

"Thirty elite soldiers have been selected. All of them were selected according to the requirements of the young lady. They are all elite soldiers with flexible bodies and good martial arts skills."

"It's enough to pick out thirty people from five hundred. Their backgrounds have been checked, right?"

Huo Jinying seemed a little excited: "Miss, we didn't choose them from 500 people, but from 20,000 people. Moreover, it was General Shi Qing who personally selected them, and their backgrounds are clear. General Shi said that this is our thank you gift for teaching him martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Xia Qin was also delighted. This General Shi Qing was indeed a particular person. The talents selected from the 20,000 soldiers must have no problem with their qualifications. This was going even more smoothly than he had planned.

"Brother Huo, you will be in charge of training these thirty people from now on. Their weapons will be the same as yours, a ring-handled sword and a short sword. I have already told my father and brother about this. The training of these people must be kept secret."

Huo Jinying chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Miss. I will definitely train these people to be better than me!"

Xia Qin nodded trustingly, and then asked softly: "How is Yanwen? Is he healed?"

"Don't worry, Miss. Xiaoyu is an excellent doctor. Xiaowen started training with Xiaoqi and Xiaowu yesterday."

"Well, that's good. Call the three of them over later. I have something to tell you."

After a while, Huo Jinying, Xiaoqi, Yanwen and Yanwu came to Xia Qin's tent together.

Xia Qin looked at the four people in front of her. In the army, they could be said to be the people Xia Qin trusted the most besides her father, brother and Xiaoyu. Moreover, they were soldiers who had survived many fierce battles, and their martial arts had become quite good under her training.

These four men are naturally loyal to Xia Qin and the Mu family. From being deserters with nowhere to stand and having to flee for their lives, they have now become generals in the army again and are trusted by the Mu family and Xia Qin. It is no exaggeration to say that the Mu family has given them a chance to be reborn.

Xia Qin's martial arts, courage, strategy and character deeply impressed the others, and the four of them had already become Xia Qin's confidants.

Xia Qin handed four strangely shaped weapons to the four people. The weapons were made of iron, with four hooks on the front, like tiger claws, and long ropes tied to the tails.

"Come with me, Xiaoyu, you come too."

Several people followed Xia Qin to the nearest locust tree forest. Xia Qin held the weapon in his hand, swung the rope in his hand, and swung the hook into the air at the right angle.

After the hook was hooked onto the tree trunk, she pulled it hard, and after making sure it was stable, she used the rope and the tree trunk to climb up to a tree four or five meters high in a few quick steps.

Then she jumped down and said to the others, "This thing is called Flying Tiger Claw. I asked the craftsman to make some. You can use it to climb walls, mountains and trees in the future. You can all try it."

After hearing what Xia Qin said, Huo Jinying, Xiaoyu and others tried it out one after another. The operation was not difficult. Even Xiaoyu easily climbed up the three-meter-high locust tree after failing twice.

"Brother Huo, this is also the content of your future training of the thirty people. There will be other contents in the future. The name of this team of thirty people is the Night Owl Team."

"Night Owl Squad? The name given by the young lady is good. I will take them to train here starting today. This place is relatively hidden and will not attract attention." Huo Jinying has been following Xia Qin for a long time, and his mind has become more meticulous.

However, this matter really should not be known by too many people, Xia Qin nodded.

In the days that followed, everyone in the town where the Yancheng Army was stationed was busy. According to Mu Jinyu's plan, the town rebuilt the city walls and many houses. The dilapidated town gradually regained some of its original vitality.

The craftsmen followed Xia Qin's instructions and manufactured the catapults and ladders in an orderly manner. The prototype of the first catapult had already taken shape.

Huo Jinying led the Night Owl Squad in madly training. Xia Qin also added a series of training contents for modern special forces, such as obstacle running, weighted marching, and group confrontation.

That day, Xia Qin was resting in her room when Qin Ruoran led a group of people to her room, opened the door, walked up to her, and asked very rudely, "Mu Jinfeng, isn't Dongfang Yi here?"

Xia Qin, who was thinking, looked up at Qin Ruoran and replied indifferently: "Reply to Military Supervisor Qin, no."

Qin Ruoran's eyes were full of displeasure, and the muscles on his face were tense. It seemed that after he was sure that Dongfang Yi was not here, he left in a hurry without saying goodbye.

Xiaoyu said unhappily, "This eldest daughter of the Qin family has no manners. Why is she acting crazy every day? I think she is no different from her stupid brother."

Xia Qin obviously didn't take her to heart and responded to Xiaoyu in a low voice: "It's okay."

At this moment, Dongfang Yi was leading important military generals such as Yun Feiqi, Sima Yun, Cheng Lu, and Jia Jing to formulate a detailed battle plan near Shuofang City.

"Boss, there are about 8,000 defenders in the city, most of them are Goryeo soldiers. Together with the new troops brought by General Qin, we now have less than 30,000 people. If we and General Mu attack Shuofang City and Yunzhong City respectively at the same time, there is still hope even if the enemy troops of Qingyun City support us."

After hearing what Sima Yun said, Dongfang Yi asked Yun Feiqi and the others, "What do you think?"

Yun Feiqi frowned and shook his head, saying, "Unless Yin Ruoshui leaves and the other side's commander is replaced by a dumber general, we don't have much hope."

Cheng Lu's view was also rather pessimistic: "Unless we are able to capture Shuofang City within half a day, we will have no choice but to retreat once the enemy reinforcements arrive, and we must also prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to harass Mobei City."

Dongfang Yi knew that their idea was correct, so he changed the question: "Is there any news from General Mu?"

Yun Feiqi shook his head: "No movement yet. If they were preparing to attack the city, they would definitely consult with us. However, it seems that they are currently building a town. The enemy troops in Qingyun City are also surprisingly quiet."

Dongfang Yi was observing the changes in the garrison commanders and fortifications on the tower of Shuofang City when he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. He immediately said alertly, "Prepare for battle!"

However, the people who came were not the enemy, but Qin Ruoran, and not just her, but also more than ten of her bodyguards.

Dongfang Yi looked at her coldly, his tone heavy with dissatisfaction: "Ruoran, what are you doing here? The battlefield is no joke. This place is less than ten miles away from Shuofang City. I'm afraid your large group of people has been discovered."

"I, I'm worried about Brother Dongfang," Qin Ruoran said aggrievedly when questioned by Dongfang Yi, "You left Mobei City without saying a word again. I was just worried that something might happen to you."

Sima Yun and others looked embarrassed, not knowing whether they should stay to protect them or leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go back. The enemy should have discovered us. Let's go back and talk later!"

In the Qingyun City Commander's Mansion, Yin Ruoshui leisurely fiddled with the golden scimitar in his hand and asked calmly, "General Wu, is there any movement from the other side?"

Wu Qiulin, who was sitting below, replied: "Scouts have appeared near Shuofang City and Yunzhong City. They must be trying to gather our intelligence, but there is no movement from either of their armies. Instead, the Yancheng army is building up the city defenses."

"Build city defenses?" Yin Ruoshui seemed a little surprised by the Yancheng army's move.

According to the intelligence he had obtained, the Emperor of Daxia ordered Mu Lie and Dongfang Yi to capture the two cities of Shuofang and Yunzhong within two months. Now, ten days have passed and they have still not made any move, which is indeed a bit puzzling.

"Yes, build walls and fortifications in Huangshi Town, south of Yunzhong City."

"Increase your vigilance and be prepared for war," Yin Ruoshui turned to look at Jin Wushu and asked, "How is Goryeo preparing?"

"The king has issued an order, everything goes smoothly!"

"That's good. The Great Xia Kingdom won't be so lucky this time." Si Ruoshui said contentedly. His mind suddenly recalled the young general who rescued Dongfang Yi that night, and a playful smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
