Zhen Mi was sitting in the room, her hands in Guangxiu wrapped around her lower abdomen, and she suddenly felt a little uneasy.
It has been more than a month since Yuan Xi left Jicheng. I heard that your husband has sent troops from Beixin City. There should be no danger, right?
She stood up, and Cao Jie on the side quickly came up to help support her. Zhen Mi waved her hand and said, "No, I'm in good health now."
After hearing this, Cao Jie thought for a while, then held Zhen Mi's arm and said with a smile: "If Madam gets hit and falls, I won't be able to spare my life."
Zhen Mi smiled after hearing this: "I just want to pay my respects to my mother, so please accompany me."
The two walked to Huan's room and saw Huan sewing a small dress with tulle lining and linen outside.
Huan carefully sewed the two pieces of material together with silk thread. She was so careful that beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.
When she heard the noise, she looked up and saw Zhen Mi coming in. She put her clothes aside and said, "You are almost two months pregnant and you are inconvenient. Please don't come here every day to say hello."
Zhen Mi said: "Mr. Yuanhua said that more activities are also good for the fetus."
After hearing this, Mrs. Huan sighed: "It's a shame for you, because he's not here at this time."
Every time Yuan Xi fought in a battle, the enemies he faced were not easy to fight. Especially this time, the Black Mountain army was so powerful that everyone felt heavy in their hearts.
Zhen Mi forced a smile and said: "Only you can do what your husband wants to do. He has the world in mind. I'm worried that I won't be able to help."
Huan sighed: "You can be free as long as you want. The most worrying thing about pregnancy is the stress and stress. Now I will take good care of my body, which is better than anything else."
Zhen Mi knew that Huan had given birth to three children and was rich in experience after all, so she whispered: "What does it feel like to have a child?"
Cao Jie also pricked up his ears curiously.
After hearing this, Huan thought for a moment and thought that Yuan Xi would be back when the time comes. The more at ease he is, the smoother things will go. But who can guarantee this? So he swallowed his words.
She thought about it for a moment and then said: "It does hurt a little at first, but in the end, as long as you relax, it's not a big deal."
Zhen Mi listened and nodded slightly. She heard that giving birth was not easy, and she felt quite uneasy. So she also wanted to find someone to ask if it was inappropriate for Cai Zhaoji to give birth. It felt weird to ask Mrs. Wu.
Finally, I asked Huanshi, why do you feel that Huanshi is more nervous than yourself?
Zhen Mi thought it didn't matter about the child, as long as Yuan Xi came back safely.
Yuan Xi took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, placed it on the bowstring, and slowly drew the bow.
Just at the shooting distance, Yang Feng, who was wearing red armor, pulled up the spear from the soil, held the end of the gun barrel with one arm, and pointed it at Yuan Xi from a distance. The tip of the gun did not move at all.
Yuan Xi squinted his eyes. This big gun was not light in weight. It would not be easy even for a male master to be able to do this. What's more, there were only a few women in the world.
He had a headache. The other party was staring at him. What had he done before to make her hate her so much?
He loosened his grip and the arrow flew out from his ear with a whoosh.
This arrow was very accurate, flying straight towards Yang Feng's forehead, and was in front of Yang Feng in the blink of an eye!
Yang Feng turned slightly to the side, the tip of the spear was already on the feathered arrow, and with a little force, he knocked the feathered arrow off.
Yang Feng's soldiers saw him and cheered loudly.
Yuan Xi's soldiers couldn't help but swallowed when they saw that Yang Feng had broken down the bow and arrow so easily. No one had the confidence to escape unscathed from such a master.
Yang Feng raised the spear high into the sky and shouted: "Follow me!"
She squatted down suddenly, shouldered the spear, and then suddenly lunged forward, like an agile leopard, rushing towards Yuan Xi's camp!
The soldiers behind her also rushed forward with swords and guns drawn, shouting.
Yuan Xi thought to himself that he was indeed a lunatic and rushed to the camp. Did he not take himself seriously?
He looked around and saw some soldiers showing uneasy expressions, knowing that a master like Yang Feng still put a lot of pressure on them.
He smiled and said aloud: "Why, after guarding the city with me for three years, have you become less and less courageous?"
"Is she comparable to General Zilong?"
"General Zilong couldn't defeat the Beixin City I was guarding at that time, so what does the other side mean?"
After hearing this, the officers and soldiers under his command immediately became excited and shouted loudly.
Yang Feng looked at the simple wooden fence dozens of steps away, which was about half a person tall, and thought, could this temporary thing be able to block me?
She took the lead and rushed to the front of the wooden fence. She squatted slightly, jumped into the air, kicked off the wooden fence, and was about to climb into the camp.
At this moment, she felt something was wrong. Why didn't the opponent shoot an arrow to stop her when she rushed all the way?
She was in mid-air and saw that the ground behind the wooden fence was all freshly turned soil, and she suddenly felt something bad.
In the middle of her busy schedule, she turned around and nailed the tip of the spear to the wooden fence behind her. She made a sudden turn and stopped her falling!
Yang Feng took advantage of the situation and reached out to put a stake on the stake. When he turned over, his body shrank back and he stood on the stake!
But the dozens of soldiers who rushed in after him were not so lucky. As soon as they landed on the ground, their feet sank and they fell into a pit that was more than one person deep!
trap!
It was just a trap, what awaited them was a sharpened wooden stake!
Taking advantage of the momentum of their fall, the soldiers' thighs and bodies were instantly pierced by wooden stakes, and screams came one after another.
Yang Feng's eyes were about to burst, and she quickly shouted: "Stop!"
How could I have forgotten that Yuan's Jizhou soldiers are the best at digging fortifications!
From the first meeting with Yuan Xi, Yang Feng felt that something was wrong. The speed of the other party's fortifications was too fast!
At that time, steel was still very valuable and was not enough to make weapons, so most marching tools were still made of bronze that was not very sharp and strong.
In this way, whether it is cutting or digging, the speed will not be too fast. However, Yuan Xi was equipped with iron tools regardless of the cost, which greatly speeded up the construction of fortifications.
This deep trench was dug temporarily and took half a night.
At this moment, Yuan Xi moved his hand, "Fire the arrow!"
The soldiers fired arrows from high places in the camp, hitting the Montenegrin soldiers both inside and outside, unable to advance or retreat. From time to time, screams of being hit by arrows could be heard.
Yang Feng's teeth were all broken. The opponent's ditch was very disgusting. With the wooden stake, it was equal to the height of two people. Even if he rolled in, he would still fall into the pit, which would become a living target for the opponent!
Seeing several sharp arrows flying towards her, she quickly rolled down the wooden stake to avoid it, and at the same time shouted: "Where are the bows and arrows!"
"Shoot!"
"Come here, follow me to break down the gate of the village!"
Yuan Xi saw Yang Feng and his men rushing around the camp from the platform, trying to find a breakthrough. How could he not know what the other party was thinking? As long as he rushed in to find him and kill him, the Youzhou army would be finished.
But how could Yuan Xi give her this opportunity? He immediately pointed his hand and said, "Block the village gate!"
Within a moment, Yang Feng directed his men to smash the weak village gate in front of him. When he saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but hesitate.
Inside, the Youzhou Army made way for a passage.
But Yang Feng could clearly see that there were densely packed swords, shields and spears on both sides of the door!
Yang Feng thought that she could break in, but how many of her soldiers would be killed or injured?
Looking at Yuan Xi's confident look across from him, Yang Feng sneered. Did he really think there was nothing he could do?
Seeing that the other party was still shooting arrows at her, she turned around and said: "Rockets!"
The archers behind heard this and took out special rockets one after another. These arrows were extremely long and had oil-soaked linen wrapped around the front. Once ignited and shot, they could cause quite a disturbance to the enemy.
Yang Feng gave an order, and hundreds of rockets flew into the sky and shot into Yuan Xi's military camp. For a while, fireworks were everywhere, which was really beautiful.
Yang Feng saw that many places in the camp were on fire. Yuan Xi's soldiers were busy putting out the fire, but most of the rockets were kerosene. Even if they poured water, they couldn't be put out immediately!
As long as the morale of the opposing army fluctuates, she will find an opportunity to break in!
As a result, Yang Feng discovered that the soldiers in the camp were taking out pieces of cloth and covering the rocket. After a while, the flame on the rocket went out, and wisps of green smoke came out from below.
The cloth covering it didn't even burn!
Yang Feng's eyes widened. This is the extremely expensive fire-huan cloth that is rumored to be used by nobles and nobles?
Was it used to put out fires?
The so-called fire cloth is asbestos.
Since ancient times, there have been records of Huanbu in China.
"Liezi·Tangwen": "King Mu of the Zhou Dynasty marched against the Western Rong, and the Western Rong offered swords of kun and thallium, and cloth made of fire raccoons... The cloth of fire raccoons will be thrown into the fire, and the cloth will be the color of fire, and the stain will be the color of the cloth.
When it comes out of fire and vibrates, Haoran is suspicious of snow."
"Book of Zhou" says: The Western Regions offered fire-huan cloth, and the Kunwu clan presented jade-cutting knives. The fire-huan cloth was stained, but when it was burned, it became clean, and the knife cut jade as if it were fat."
Xirong was adjacent to the Western Zhou Dynasty and had frequent exchanges, so they brought Huo Huanbu to the King of Zhou in order to make good friends.
Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huo Huanbu came from the Western Regions, but by the Eastern Han Dynasty, it also appeared in the transactions with the southwestern Yi.
"Book of the Later Han·Biography of the Western Regions" records that the Great Qin State "painted it with gold and painted it with fire."
"Book of the Later Han·Biographies of the Southwest Yi" records: "The talent of Huo Yi (i.e. Huo Huanbu) for taming birds and sealing beasts was accumulated in the inner palace."
At that time, Yuan Xi opened the sea route and got some fire-huan cloth. People in this world were very curious about it. They thought that this cloth was fire-proof and should be a very precious thing.
Only Yuan Xi was dismissive of this. Asbestos, which was used on the streets in later generations, was remarkable as an industrial material, but it was not suitable for daily wear.
Otherwise, when the fiber is inhaled into the human body, it will damage the lungs and cause disease.
Without an industrial system, it would be useless to keep this thing, so Yuan Xi put it into combat equipment. At least it was useful for putting out fires.
Seeing that the rocket was extinguished by the opponent, Yang Feng had no choice but to lead everyone to stop in front of the village gate.
After two attempts to attack the stronghold were blocked, her soldiers had lost a lot of energy.
At this moment, Yuan Xi took out a loudspeaker made of iron sheet and shouted to Yang Feng: "Commander Yang, why do you need to kill and let all your subordinates die here?"
"If you can join the Yuan family, I promise that your life as commander will be better than in Montenegro. How about that?"
Seeing that some of his subordinates were interested, Yang Feng said angrily: "In delusion, Yuan has killed me, the leader of Montenegro, several times. This hatred is irreconcilable!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi looked cold: "In that case, then come over!"
"I'm waiting here to see how many lives you can take before you can walk in front of me!"
"Also, whoever can bring Yang Feng's head to me will be rewarded with a million dollars!"
