Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Chapter 352 It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice

Upon hearing this, Li Tingting immediately wiped the smile off her face.

She then dismounted, the breeze occasionally ruffling the stray hairs at her temples.

She gazed at the white clouds on the horizon and remained silent for a long time.

"Yu Feng, I'm so sorry, I think I can only disappoint you."

I've already missed out on the time for romance and love; there are just too many things going on in my life.

I need to handle family matters, national affairs, kinship, and friendships.

Although you are a bit willful in your personality, you are also a man of outstanding talent and good looks.

You'd better go back quickly, forget about me, and find someone else to marry!

Li Tingting turned to look at Wei Yufeng and patiently continued to persuade him.

But how could Wei Yufeng give up so easily?

He tightened the reins, his knuckles turning white, and his emotions suddenly surged.

"Tingting, the reason you rejected me is simply that you're too busy, right?"

Then I can wait for you. Is a year enough? If not, I'll wait for you for three years.

Three years isn't enough, so try ten. If ten years isn't enough, then a lifetime!

In short, my feelings for you will never change!

Wei Yufeng's persistent words once again calmed Li Tingting down.

She looked calmly into Wei Yufeng's eyes, and Wei Yufeng returned her gaze with equal affection.

And so, the two gazed at each other for a long time, until finally Li Tingting said softly,

"The border conflict is urgent, and I must depart immediately."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Wei Yufeng to respond before jumping onto her horse and galloping away quickly.

Wei Yufeng followed closely behind.

The two rode quickly, one in front of the other, causing dust and smoke to billow into the sky.

......

At this moment, a group of Great Zhou soldiers were stationed at the outermost line of defense of the Great Xia army camp.

They are recklessly provoking the Great Xia army.

The leading general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, mounted on a black horse, held up half a piece of glistening smoked meat and waved it around.

He raised an eyebrow and laughed loudly: "Brothers of Great Xia, on New Year's Eve..."

As you gnaw on your coarse rice mixed with sand, did you ever smell the aroma of meat wafting from our camp?

He deliberately took a big bite, and grease dripped from the corner of his mouth.

"Brothers, is it really worth risking your lives for your corrupt and incompetent court?"

Why not lay down your weapons and join my Great Zhou army?

Look at your lips, so cold they're turning purple. If you get to our camp...

Hehe, I guarantee there will be plenty of strong liquor!

"That's right!" A soldier tilted his head back and drank the wine from a copper jug.

The liquor trickled down his neck and into his clothes. "This year's New Year's Eve..."

Everyone in our military camp was given three roasted chicken legs!

And you? You probably can't even get a sip of hot soup, can you?

Another burly man with a full beard slammed his hand on the saddle, making the bells jingle.

"The Great Xia and the Great Zhou were originally one family! We are all brothers born of the same root."

Why bother with those powerful and wealthy people in the capital who only know how to fight for power and profit?

Are you going to fight us, the brothers of Great Zhou, to the death?

For a moment, the Great Xia army fell into a brief silence.

A emaciated recruit gripped a rusty rifle.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down—he really hadn't had any meat for three months.

Staring at the glistening chicken leg in the hands of the Zhou soldier, even his chapped lips bled.

Upon seeing this, the veteran beside him immediately burst into curses, "What utter bullshit!"

A loud shout tore through the stagnant air. The burly old soldier gripped his spear tightly.

He stepped forward, his eyes gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

"When you, the treacherous dogs of the Great Zhou, slaughtered the people of my Great Xia, where was this 'brotherly affection' you spoke of?"

He suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing a gruesome arrow wound to his chest.

"This scar is thanks to you scoundrels, humph!"

"You want a man to betray you? It's not even dark yet, and you're already dreaming!"

"Archers! Form ranks!"

The leading general was too lazy to waste words with those shameless Great Zhou soldiers.

He immediately swung the flag down, and three hundred powerful bows were all aimed at the approaching enemy.

"You treacherous dog of the Great Zhou, listen up!"

If you don't leave within three breaths, don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword.

Don't try to plead for mercy later with that nonsense about not killing envoys in war!

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty gazed at the rapidly forming steel square formation opposite them.

Shields stood like walls, spears like forests, and even the air was thick with a chilling atmosphere.

The provocative shouts abruptly stopped, and cold sweat beaded on the palms gripping the shield.

Some people quietly moved their feet, trying to shrink to the back of the line.

Their mission was to persuade the enemy to surrender while simultaneously provoking them to enrage.

They planned to disrupt the enemy's morale by bluffing.

One could see the gleaming weapons and taut muscles of the enemy troops in the Great Xia army camp before them.

It's clearly a fight to the death.

"H-Hold your ground!" The leader of the Zhou centurions roared, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly.

He stared intently at the gleaming battle axe in the hand of the opposing general.

The Adam's apple rolls up and down.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the lieutenant beside me secretly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

Several new recruits even gripped their weapons backwards, cursing these cowards inwardly.

But a sense of unease crept in. The higher-ups only mentioned intimidation and pressure.

But if a war really breaks out, our forces will not gain any advantage at all.

But he didn't want to back down, so he could only grit his teeth and continue muttering curses.

"Hmph! You shameless bastard!"

He kicked over the pebbles at his feet, which struck the shield with a sharp crack.

The soldiers were so startled that their shoulders trembled.

"Brothers, let's head back to camp first!" Before he finished speaking, he had already turned his horse around.

Amidst the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves, the soldiers sighed with relief.

The retreating troops made a chaotic clanging sound as their armor clashed, and they were much slower than when they arrived.

It was as if they were afraid that the enemy army of Great Xia behind them would suddenly catch up.

At dusk, under the setting sun, a cold wind whipped sand and gravel against the cowhide tent.

The setting sun cast a soft glow outside the general's tent.

After the scouts reported the details of the provocation by the Great Zhou soldiers during the day,

Head coach Ma Liangyu slammed his teacup to the ground.

The sound of the celadon shattering startled all the generals in the tent.

"Those bastards!" He gripped the table tightly with his bulging, veiny hands.

His knuckles turned white from the force he exerted. "When our Great Xia has no one left, how dare we humiliate us like this on the battlefield?"

The news of our army's food shortage must have been spread by those treacherous spies.

If I were to investigate this matter, I would grind him to dust!

Seeing this, the adjutant quickly offered words of comfort, "General,"

It's true that we're short of food, but if this problem isn't resolved in the long term...

My subordinates are worried that if this goes on for too long, morale among the troops will waver.

"How could I not know? But the imperial supplies have been slow to arrive."

Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice! Alas!

Ma Liangyu stood up and slammed his fist heavily on the table.

Before the adjutant could reply, a familiar female voice suddenly rang out from outside the tent.

"General Ma, please don't be troubled. I will solve the problem of the army's lack of rice right away!"
