Yichen climbed up the ladder and looked at the people on the other side of the river busy hiding food, and her mood became less happy.

"Mother~"

"What's wrong baby?"

"Will those northern barbarians really come here to fight?"

"Probably not."

"But those people on the other side of the river are hiding food."

"How could you forget the saying, 'Prevention is better than cure.'"

"Oh, I really forgot."

"It's not that you forgot, it's that you're still young, so it's understandable that you can't think of that much."

"Oh."

As the mother and daughter were talking, Guan came.

"Auntie." Yichen called sweetly.

"Eh."

Guan has been in a bad mood these past two days. She is restless during the day and can't sleep at night.

She was thinking about her husband who was out fighting the northern barbarians. "Every year at this time, I can't sleep all night. The sword has no eyes. I want to kowtow to the God of Heaven every day, just to ask God to bless the master to return safely."

Jiang Yan really didn't know how to persuade Guan about this matter, so she could only listen quietly to what Guan had to say.

"With the boss not coming back, my heart is hanging in the air, unable to go up or down. Sister, what do you think I should do?"

Jiang Yan: She doesn’t know what to do either!

Just as Jiang Yan and Guan were getting anxious, Yi Chen came up with a brilliant idea. "Mom, Aunt, we can make some food and send it over to my uncle and his family."

"Is this possible? Besides, what are we going to do?"

"Dumplings, big dumpling stuffed with chives and eggs." Jiang Yan felt that many people liked to eat this. She noticed it when her family was building the house.

When Guan heard her sister talking about big buns stuffed with leeks and eggs, she immediately became excited.

"This year's wheat and corn have just been ground into flour. I'm going to go mix it now."

Yi Chen: "Brother Sansheng and I are going to cut leeks." There is a large area of ​​wild leeks near their home.

Jiang Yan: "I'm going to pick up eggs, and our family will also take out a bag of noodles."

Guan went back to knead the dough and told Ma's mother, who came to inquire about the news, that they wanted to make dumplings to send to the front line, so she asked Ma's father to send ten pounds of wheat flour as well.

When other families in the flag heard the news, they also contributed a ladle of noodles each, and they all pooled together half a bag of noodles and sent it over.

General Ye also came with his children and grandchildren and said to Guan: Take them with you when you deliver the food. With them around, you will be safe on the way.

...

At the foot of the West Mountain north of Black Stone City, Captain Dong was leading all the officers and soldiers of the West Mountain Hundred Households Office in a fierce battle with the northern barbarians.

While swinging his sword, Captain Dong wiped the blood that splashed on his face, and saw Ye Zhanyang holding a long spear and forcing back the northern barbarians who were rushing towards him several times. He couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

"Damn it, it's your honor to let you taste the Ye family's spear."

"Boss, it would be better if Madam Jiang were here."

"During the war, you still wanted Madam Jiang to fight. Look at your lack of ambition."

"Boss, you're missing the point. What I mean is that if Madam Jiang spreads a few beans, the guys on the other side will all lie down, and we won't have to fight them that much more."

"Oh, you still want to be lazy."

"Who's being lazy? I just wanted to get back home early. I'm hungry, aren't you hungry too?"

Guo Xiucai avoided the word "hungry" that Zhou Dasheng said and said, "Boss, Lao Zhou has a good idea."

"hold head high."

The scholar's words reminded Captain Dong, who immediately ordered the scholar, "Take the others at the back and find some stones to throw at the northern barbarians."

"okay."

After receiving the order from Captain Dong, Scholar Guo immediately retreated to the back and called over to Mada and the others, "Go find some rocks and throw them at the northern barbarian troops across the way. Remember, throw them close to the ground."

"Brother Guo, that's not called throwing, that's called rolling." After saying that, Mada found a stone, ran to the side of his own team, and when he found a chance, he threw it into the northern barbarian team.

The stone hit the horse's leg, and the warhorse raised its hooves and whinnied continuously. The rider swayed for a long time before he could steady his mount.

Seeing that it was working, the motor lowered its head to pick up the stone and rolled it over again with force.

Seeing that the boy was smart, Guo Xiucai couldn't help but praise him: "You are really good, you didn't wet your pants on your first battle."

"I've seen blood before, so what's there to be afraid of? Besides, there's an enemy in front of me, so I shouldn't be afraid." Mada said, and the stone in his hand rolled down again.

With the motor setting the example, the people behind followed suit, and the stones rolled down one after another.

The northern barbarians were fighting fiercely, thinking that by killing these people from the Great Zhou, they could steal a lot of food.

Everyone hit with all their might, no one paying attention to what was below. When the rocks rolled down and hit the horses' legs, some people almost fell off their horses, only then did they realize that rocks were rolling down from above.

"The people of the Great Zhou are so bad." Someone in the northern barbarian camp shouted loudly.

Captain Dong heard clearly what the northern barbarians were saying and was so angry that he laughed. "You've come to the territory of the Great Zhou. Killing, setting fire and looting are worse than that."

"It's terrible."

"Throw it! Throw it hard! It would be best if we could break all their horses' legs so we can go back and eat their meat."

"Yeah~"

When it comes to horse meat, Mada and the others throw stones more frequently.

It’s no wonder they are so greedy, because they have never tasted meat since they came here.

Just thinking about how much meat they would have made made Motor and the others throw more excitedly.

This is the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is a little sloping, so the rocks rolling down are unstoppable.

The most important point is that when a stone falls, it will not just hit one horse, but several horses.

The result was that more and more horses of the northern barbarians were injured.

If the horse is injured, the riders on it will not be much better off. As more and more people fall off their horses, the Northern Barbarians are losing.

As the Northern Barbarians' defeat became apparent, the morale of the officers and soldiers of the Xishan Hundred Households Office was high. Under the command of Hundred Household Dong, they fought more and more bravely, forcing the Northern Barbarians to retreat step by step.

Seeing that some of the northern barbarians had to abandon their injured horses and flee, Captain Dong and Ye Zhanyang drew their bows and arrows at the same time. A volley of arrows flew out, and each arrow killed a northern barbarian.

"Ouch~"

Amidst waves of cheers, the one who shouted the loudest was actually the stupid son of the landlord.

On the city wall, General Ming held a telescope in his hand, and his main focus was on the foot of the West Mountain outside the city.

At the moment of close combat, he suddenly regretted listening to Captain Wei's advice and only letting the West Mountain Hundred Households guard there.

You have to know that the number of Northern Barbarians coming here is nearly double that of the West Mountain Hundred Households. Moreover, all of the Northern Barbarians are cavalry, so the West Mountain Hundred Households are also weaker in terms of the number of war horses.

However, General Ming did not expect that the hundred or so men from the Xishan Hundred Households Unit could actually defeat the larger force with a smaller one, and that they won on horseback.
