"Think about it carefully, isn’t it just as the Great General said?"
Deputy General Yun suddenly stood up and loudly declared, "We’re all a bit miserable, but at least we still have waterlons to eat and grain to fill our bellies. The turtle grandchildren outside the city, on the other hand, are honest to a fault and don’t even have anything to eat. Didn’t we capture a ’tongue’ last ti? He said that they are eating a kind of yellow mud from the ground called ’Guanyin Rice’. They can’t poop after eating that stuff, they have to use a bamboo stick to dig it out. Hehehe..."
With that said, Deputy General Yun laughed proudly.
Xing Jiang Army still hadn’t finished his half piece of waterlon, angrily glaring at the bright red lon flesh. It’s a dilemma whether to eat it or not!
Finally, he shot a resentful glare at Deputy General Yun.
He closed his eyes, and in two or three bites cramd the waterlon into his belly, then casually wipes his mouth and stands up.
"Great General, you’re not just talking about eating waterlons at this mont, are you?"
"Director General Xing is correct in his guess."
Qin Yi gave a faint smile, glanced at everyone, "Right now, I have a plan regarding these waterlons. If I calculate correctly, I am sure that I can take the head of Zhou Zhenchao in one fell swoop! However, this strategy... it has to fall on this rascal pig."
At the mont, the rascal pig was burying its head in the waterlon hole it dug, eating and drinking lavishly.
When it finally took a breather from the waterlon, it suddenly found countless pairs of shining green eyes staring at it, causing it to instinctively retreat while hugging the waterlon.
What the heck is going on?
Could it be that each and every one of them want to snatch the waterlon in its hand?
But why are these people still staring at it?
It opened its mouth and started howling!
It kept smacking its lips, "What are you doing? What are you trying to do? Do you want to rob ? Don’t even think about it, this is mine, mine, mine! What are you trying to do?"
"Calm down! Co on, rascal pig, let take you out to have sothing delicious!"
Qin Yi suddenly stretched out his hand, directly picked up the rascal pig and strode into the inner room. So matters should not be made public, it’s better to keep them secret.
The rascal pig initially wanted to struggle, but when it heard that there was delicious food, it obediently let Qin Yi carry it into the inner room.
After throwing the rascal pig on the ground, Qin Yi squinted at it with a smile, "I have sothing to discuss with you. If you do well, I will not only let you eat delicious food, but I will also send a ssage to Pan’er asking her to roast you a whole lamb. How about it?"
As soon as it heard that it could have a whole roast lamb all to itself, the rascal pig beca instantly energized!
It quickly stood up on its two short hind legs, supporting its round body, and howled incessantly without even blinking.
Qin Yi couldn’t understand it and had to shake his head, "I don’t understand what you’re saying. So here’s the deal! If you are willing, jump into my hands. If you’re not willing, just pretend I never ntioned it!"
The rascal pig was originally negotiating with Qin Yi. Seeing that Qin Yi couldn’t understand his language, the pig felt helpless.
After thinking a bit, it reluctantly jumped into his hands.
This made Qin Yi burst into laughter and he even stretched out a hand to twist the pig’s ear.
"Don’t worry! I’m just letting you run an errand, there will absolutely be no problem!"
While he was speaking, a glint flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
It was so quick it couldn’t be caught.
As Mid-Autumn approached, the Autumn Tiger in the sky was still in full swing, roasting people as if they were salted fish on a griddle.
Zhou Zhenchao led his troops to pitch camp ten miles away from the city. The tents were low and felt like a stear under the scorching sun. Several of his n had succumbed to heatstroke!
Even within his ranks, whispers of "retribution" spread.
Wasn’t it indeed retribution?
They had blasted the dyke, causing the river to change course and directly subrge Fengdu City downstream. It was a city of tens of thousands, as ancient as a thousand years and nurous lives were lost in the flood!
Even with their eyes closed, they seed to hear the desperate wails of countless people in the floodwaters!
But once they opened their eyes, they had to endure the scorching sun, the heat’s torture, and the tornt of water shortage.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the camp!
"Look! Look at the city watchtower! Look quickly!"
The n scrambled out of their tents, looking towards the watchtower.
There, soldiers holding silver spears were happily eating waterlon!
Waterlon?
They rubbed their eyes in disbelief and looked again. Despite the distance, they could clearly see that what they were eating was indeed waterlon!
"How can this be... Where did they get waterlon from?"
Everyone felt a burning in their throats and eyes turned green in envy, staring angrily at the soldiers eating waterlon on the wall. This was nothing short of ntal torture!
Soon, everyone was enraged, all burning with indignation and clamoring for a fight, wanting to attack the watchtower!
Zhou Zhenchao was also enraged!
He imdiately commanded his troops to launch an attack on the city wall!
However, a staff officer nad Song stepped forward: "My lord, in my opinion, this seems very unusual and must be a ploy of the Qin Army. That Qin Yi is devious. We must be cautious!"
But who among those blinded by the waterlons could heed caution?
Zhou Zhenchao retorted: "Teacher Song, you are overthinking! It’s just a few bites of waterlon, and you see a plot? Teacher Song, you underestimate while overestimate that Qin Yi!"
Teacher Song was at a loss for words and hastily bowed: "My lord, I didn’t an it that way!"
"You better not, hmph!"
Zhou Zhenchao swiftly encouraged his n: "We will seize Hezhong City in one fell swoop. Once we capture the city, you can eat as much waterlon as you want!"
The surrounding soldiers were filled with enthusiasm and couldn’t wait to start the attack.
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade them, Teacher Song let out a long sigh and stepped aside.
It’s fair to say that Zhou Zhenchao had been busy these days. The conspicuous siege ladders and nurous catapults gave it away. Not to ntion the enormous crossbows lifted by several soldiers and battering rams used to break the city gates! More so, there were a variety of weapons including crossbows and God’s Arm Crossbows, making an impressive display.
But the Qin Army was not to be trifled with!
They responded with quickli and chili water, which were naturally given as presents. The most effective was the special tung oil-loaded rocket, which would quickly ignite when shot into the crowd. The n had to fight the fire, and everyti they were distracted, they would be shelled from above!
Especially the frequent thunderbolt gun fire from above the city gate resulted in countless casualties in the Zhou Army. But seeing the shaky massive gate, they couldn’t help but keep charging with the help of the battering rams!
