Chapter 160 Siege
Chapter 160 Siege
After Ye Ze finished his meal, Zhao Li had already poured him a bath. Ye Ze took a comfortable bath before going to bed. It was already the end of October. A charcoal basin was lit in the room, making it warm and comfortable. Ye Ze slept until almost noon the next day.
When I woke up, I felt refreshed. I turned around and saw my wife sitting at the table in front of the bed, looking at me tenderly.
"Are you awake? Are you hungry?" Zhao Li asked hurriedly when she saw that the person woke up.
Ye Ze suddenly thought of the scene when he first came here, which seemed somewhat similar to today.
However, the difference is that Zhao Li's eyes were swollen from crying back then, but now, every time she sees me, she has a smile on her face. Does this mean that I am a very successful husband?
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhao Li walked over and asked puzzledly.
"Li'er, give me a hug." Ye Ze spoke with a hoarse voice, and stretched out his hand to pray for a warm and caring hug.
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm just too tired and want someone to comfort me.
Zhao Li felt distressed seeing his look. She gently held Ye Ze's head in her arms and patted his back. Ye Ze put his arms around his wife's slender waist, closed his eyes, and felt this moment of peace. His heart finally settled down and he felt at ease.
"Are you too tired?" Zhao Li asked with a frown.
Ye Ze shook his head, "With you here, I'm not tired anymore."
"Pear,"
"Ok?"
"The war is about to start. I may not be able to come back to accompany you for a long time. There will be garrisons stationed in the border town. Home is safe. You should stay at home and take care of yourself..."
"Well," Zhao Li's expression darkened. They had just been together for a short time, and they were going to be separated again? How long would they be separated this time?
Zhao Li was powerless to stop Ye Ze from leaving. She could only assure him again and again: "I will take good care of myself and the family and wait for you to come back."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." The two snuggled together and comforted each other.
Until a slight 'squeak' sound was heard.
Zhao Li's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and she jumped into Ye Ze's arms: "It's this rat again, my husband, be careful..."
Ye Ze: (??)
"Well, when I brought it back, you were living at your mother's house, so I didn't have time to introduce it to you," Ye Ze explained awkwardly, "It's a new member of our family. I named it 001."
"What?" Zhao Li was confused. "Is this also our pet?"
Ye Ze nodded. "Well, during this time when I'm not at home, I hope you can take care of it and give it some food."
Zhao Li was about to cry. Could she not have this pet? She hated mice the most.
001 feels even more aggrieved. Ever since it ate the food its owner fed it, it has found it difficult to swallow anything else. Its owner hasn't been back for more than two months, and it had eaten up the little food that was left behind long ago. If it weren't for the eldest sister who often brought it treats, it would have starved to death, okay?
Wow...Didn’t you see that I have lost a lot of weight?
The little one stood hesitantly at the door, looking pitifully at the two people on the bed, and said, "Why don't you come down and take care of me!"
Ye Ze bound 001 and Zhao Li through the system, so that Zhao Li could understand 001's words. When she got familiar with it, she shouldn't be too repulsive to it, right? Of course, if Zhao Li really didn't accept it, he wouldn't force her.
"Li'er, don't be afraid. 001 is different from other mice. It likes to be clean. It will take a bath and comb its fur by itself. It won't dig holes at random in the house, nor will it eat anything randomly. It's just that I have spoiled it. Apart from feeding it regularly, you don't need to worry about it at other times..."
Just as Ye Ze was nagging, Zhao Li heard another small voice, "Master, do you have another mission and need to leave? The mistress doesn't seem to like me very much, wuwuwu, what should I do? When the master leaves, Shushu's life will be difficult again."
Zhao Li looked back at it with eyes wide open in surprise. Was it the one that was talking just now?
001 half-knelt on the ground with a wronged look on his face, his head slightly lowered, his expression somewhat conflicted.
Zhao Li ⊙﹏⊙: I actually understood the expression of a mouse?!
Finally, Zhao Li reluctantly agreed to keep it for a while and if it didn't work, she would give it to Hu Zi.
Hu Zi: (ー_ー)!! Is this human language?
At noon, when the family gathered in the living room for lunch, Ye Ze formally met the new member of the family. Laibao was two months old and looked chubby. Ye Ze named him Ye Wentai, hoping that he would be able to learn literature and have a safe and smooth life.
Looking at such a young child, Ye Ze's heart softened. The scene of him and Zhao Li's family of three emerged in his mind, and he actually felt a little expectant.
After the war is over, he will definitely try it! (Takes a deep breath, looks determined, hm!)
After lunch, Ye Ze rode back to the military camp.
Afterwards, Ye Ze stayed in the military camp and arranged the next siege plan and training with Zhao Youliang and others.
With the experience of retaking the border town last time, Ye Ze considered things more comprehensively this time.
Five days later, while the reinforcements of Yu army had not yet arrived in Yunzhou, the rebels took them by surprise, traveled all night, and arrived outside Yunzhou city at dawn.
The general in charge of the garrison in Yunzhou City is named Feng. Although he is wary of Mu Heng's ability to lead troops, the troops under his command far exceed those of the rebels. With the help of capable people sent in advance by the national teacher, it is no problem for him to keep Yunzhou!
After hearing the report from the spies, General Feng immediately mobilized his troops to fight at night. As long as they can survive these few days, reinforcements will arrive soon!
The two armies started fighting twenty miles outside the city. Ye Ze led a team of 20,000 people to bypass the war zone and quickly rushed towards the city gate.
Yunzhou does not have the large crossbows like the North Vietnamese have. The maximum range of their crossbows is only over 600 meters. Ye Ze is naturally fearless with his system shield. He only instructs the soldiers to maintain the formation and move forward steadily, while he himself quickly approaches the city gate with light skills.
The archers on the city wall kept shooting arrows but failed to hurt him at all. Fifty meters away from the city gate, Ye Ze jumped up, climbed over the city wall in one fell swoop, and went straight to the crossbows. His goal was clear, to destroy several crossbows on the city wall first to relieve the pressure on the soldiers below. The soldiers on the city wall suddenly became chaotic.
Without the threat of the crossbows, the rebels below rushed up much faster.
Inside the city, countless soldiers blocked the city gates with logs to prevent the rebels from breaking through the city gates. However, Ye Ze's goal was not the city gates, but food and fodder! His real goal was just to create chaos and disrupt the morale of the army.
The Yu army had 100,000 soldiers defending the city, and they only had 20,000. Ye Ze would be a fool to open the city gate.
The 20,000 rebels below attacked the city fiercely just to delay the Yu soldiers guarding the city gate.
With the help of his Qinggong skills, Ye Ze traveled smoothly all the way and successfully found the location of Yu army's food and grass.
