The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house
Chapter 84 The enemy is now
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Jiang Yan, under everyone's gaze, handed the reins to General Ye without changing her expression. She also said to General Ye, "This horse is good. You can give it a try."
Jiang Yan finished speaking and without waiting for General Ye to reply, she teleported again to the injured horses.
Ye Dalang and Ye Silang talked the most with Jiang Niangzi, so they followed with shining eyes, and soon they got the war horses they wanted.
Captain Dong was stunned, as were General Ye and his son.
After a long while, Captain Dong finally found his voice. "I never knew there was such a miraculous skill in the world that could instantly heal a wounded horse." Captain Dong felt that Madam Jiang was an endless treasure. Their kindness had earned Madam Jiang's help. "It's simply wonderful."
Alas, I don't know what to say again. Captain Dong now particularly hated his lack of education. He wanted to express his gratitude, but after much thought, he could only find these few words: "That's great."
Jiang Yan: If there wasn't a powerful enemy at the door, she wouldn't have been able to show off her skills in front of these people.
Alas, even ants are greedy for life, let alone human life. She couldn't bear to see these vibrant lives disappear before her eyes.
...
When General Ming saw the smoke and dust almost rising into the air on the opposite side through his thousand-mile vision, a frown appeared between his brows.
When the deputy general beside him saw that General Ming's face looked strange, he knew that this time a large army might be approaching.
"General?"
"Send the order, have the Wei Qianhu and several Baihu on both sides of the city take their men and retreat to the hillside and hide."
Because the officers and soldiers of the Dongshan Hundred Households and the Qianshan Hundred Households suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, General Ming transferred Captain Wei and the remaining soldiers under his command.
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Captain Dong led his men back to the hillside and hid themselves.
Jiang Yan deliberately fell behind. General Ye was worried about his young daughter-in-law. He was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Yan and he would let his youngest son down.
Then General Ye noticed that wherever Jiang Yan walked, the grass and trees seemed to have instantly grown two inches taller. The path they had previously trampled was quickly covered with weeds, as if no one had ever been there before.
After being stunned, General Ye was ecstatic. With this little daughter-in-law, they could also fight against the Northern Barbarian Army.
General Ye was also well-informed. When he was young, he read a strange book that described strange people and events, including those who could call the wind and rain, those who could become invisible, and those who could make plants grow faster like his daughter-in-law.
General Ye thought of the crops planted by Jiang Yan, and now it all made sense.
Alas, my Xiaoliu is not lucky, otherwise it would be hard to find such a good and capable wife even with a lantern.
...
On the city wall, General Ming finally saw clearly with his thousand-mile vision the northern barbarians coming from the opposite side. There were about 100,000 of them, and he was also shocked.
"Damn it." General Ming's face turned dark.
"General?" Lieutenant General Hu beside him had already judged from General Ming's expression that this battle was going to be very difficult.
"Old Hu, the northern barbarians have an army of 100,000."
"You really think highly of us."
"Pull up the drawbridge and close the city gates."
"Yes."
General Ming gave an order and the messenger also sent it out.
There was a busy and orderly bustle below, and the suspension bridge was pulled up high.
General Ming looked down at the moat again and called over Lieutenant General Hu, "Why do I feel like the water in this moat isn't wide enough or deep enough?"
"General, you forget that it hasn't rained here for several months."
"Damn it." General Ming wanted to curse.
You know, although the imperial court claimed that Black Rock City had a 100,000-man army stationed there, he and his close associates knew that Black Rock City didn't have a 100,000-man army. At best, including the military households in the 100-household units, there were only 70,000.
He submitted petitions every year requesting conscription, but each time his response fell on deaf ears.
The most infuriating thing was that every time the imperial court distributed military pay, the 30,000 yuan in unused pay was taken away first. He still didn't know who it was.
As for the remaining 70,000 officers and soldiers' salaries, after being extorted, he would be lucky if he could have 50,000 left in his hands.
General Ming was also angry, but being angry was useless. He felt that the memorials he submitted were not as loud as other people's farts.
"General?"
"The whole city is on alert. Rolling logs and thunderstones are ready."
"Yes, the whole city is on alert, and the rolling logs and thunder stones are ready."
On the west slope of the mountain, General Ye looked at the overwhelming number of northern barbarians and estimated that the northern barbarians had an army of 100,000.
"A hundred thousand troops?" Everyone muttered this number in their minds. Some even smiled bitterly. "Even if we were to leave them all here today, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to stop the northern barbarians from breaking into the city."
The people around became even more silent.
General Ye also looked at his children and grandchildren. None of the Ye family members retreated.
Ye Dalang looked at the wooden stick in his hand and felt a little regretful, "It's just that the weapons in our hands are not enough."
"Yeah." Ye Zhanpeng, the second master of the Ye family, looked at his hands and said regretfully, "If only our guns were still there."
"I'm afraid our guns have long been thrown into the blacksmith shop by those people." Ye Dalang's words made the men of the Ye family feel a little depressed.
General Ye shook his head in disapproval and said, "Without proper weapons, are you going to stop fighting the enemy?"
"How could that be possible? As long as it can kill the enemy, it's fine. But we're not satisfied with using this stick. We're afraid that the stick will break if we use a little more force." Ye Silang's words expressed the thoughts of all the men in the Ye family.
"..." General Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly at the words of the fourth grandson. Even the sticks in the children's hands were made by cutting branches before going out.
The old general was holding a shoulder pole in his hand.
General Ye knew very well that without suitable weapons, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
Just as the old general was frowning, unable to relax, a long iron spear was handed over, and then another long iron spear was handed over...
The eyes of all the Ye family members were as sharp as torches, just like the look in Yi Chen's eyes when she wanted to get something good.
Ye Silang is young and has a somewhat eccentric personality, and he is also the closest to Jiang Yan.
"Auntie, are these all for us?"
"Try and see if it fits your hand. If not, I'll change it for you."
"That's great." Ye Silang grabbed a spear and fiddled with it lovingly. If the situation had allowed it, he would have practiced the Ye family's spear skills long ago.
Ye Zhanying, the third master of the Ye family, picked up the heaviest iron spear, stroked the black spear shaft with both hands, and said sincerely: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I almost thought I would never touch this old friend again in this lifetime."
The same thing happened to General Ye. He kept tightening his grip on the iron spear.
