Chapter 53 My Family Must Worship Me
"It's not that I'm worried, it's just the truth. The wall is not only high, but also very slippery. There's no way to stand firmly on it, let alone use it as leverage."
"Also, the city is not connected to the forest on all sides. Even if we want to use the trees to gain strength, there is no chance. Therefore, we naturally need to find another way."
Zhuopeng spoke according to his past experience.
Jing Anping, who was standing by at the side, looked like he had seen through everything: "General Zhuo, I don't necessarily agree with what you said. Just wait and see."
"General Mu, what are you waiting for? I am anxious to go into the city to eat something good."
After Feiying glanced at him, she still wore the outfit with two swords in her hands and headed straight for the city wall of Fuxin City.
She was running so fast that only when she was almost at the foot of the city wall did people notice her. They hurriedly picked up bows and arrows and shot at her.
She dodged in a zigzag route all the way to the base of the wall without stopping. Her hands and feet pretended to be climbing, but in fact she was using a trace of spiritual power that would not affect the small world as an aid. After kicking the wall twice, she seemed to use the force and jumped onto the city wall, and continued to kill everyone as usual.
"As expected of General Mu, I know she's fine!"
"If I had this skill, my family would worship me."
Seeing this, the generals praised him without any surprise, and did not notice the change in Zhuo Peng's expression at all.
The result of this capture of the city was naturally not surprising. The enemy troops defending the city were completely annihilated, and more than 2,000 soldiers from Fengchang State were released.
The increasing number of soldiers is naturally a good thing, but Feiying discovered a very serious problem: there is not enough food.
Originally, they did not bring much food and fodder with them on this trip, only enough to feed the 50,000-strong army for three months. Now that the army has doubled in size, there is naturally a shortage of food. After calculations, it is estimated that there is only enough food to feed them for another half month.
Jing Anyu said he was transporting food and fodder, but there has been no news yet.
Now we can only find ways to raise funds on our own.
As for the solution, it is simple. Since the lack of food and grass is caused by the enemy, just rob the enemy's food.
After hearing Feiying's proposal, the six generals all agreed immediately and agreed with it enthusiastically.
Only Zhuo Peng showed a worried look.
"This method of snatching food and grass is too risky. If we are not careful, we will be easily ambushed by the enemy. I think it would be better to write a few more letters to inform the emperor that there is a severe shortage of food and grass. Send pigeons to the imperial city and ask His Majesty to transport the food and grass as soon as possible."
"We need to write letters and grab food. As the saying goes, we should always be prepared for both situations. If your majesty's food and grass can be transported smoothly as soon as possible, it will be fine. If something unexpected happens on the way, will our more than 100,000 soldiers have to fight on an empty stomach?"
Zhuoran was also persuading him at this time: "Father, I think we should rob this food. If we succeed, not only will we not be short of food, but we can also inflict heavy damage on the enemy. It's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone. It's normal even if there are some risks."
"But……"
"Father, I have always admired your decisiveness since I was a child. You are resolute and never drag your feet. Why have you become so indecisive now?"
Zhuo Peng laughed at himself: "Maybe I am old and not as brave as you guys. Forget it, I don't care anymore. The future of Fengchang Kingdom is handed over to you young people."
He showed that he no longer intended to participate.
After that, Feiying and other people continued to make detailed plans on how to intercept the food supplies.
Ultimately, they planned to ambush the enemy in advance and catch them off guard.
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, they tied self-igniting objects to their bows and arrows and shot them into the enemy camp.
But in an instant, the tents in the enemy camp were all on fire.
When they saw that the fire was almost dead, they split into two groups according to the plan. One group fought like the enemy to attract their attention, while the other group took the opportunity to steal food and supplies.
Feiying naturally rushed in with a sword in hand, but soon discovered that there was no enemy soldier here.
She didn't believe it, so she spread her spiritual sense out and observed the entire military camp. There were indeed empty tents, but no enemy troops at all.
But how is this possible?
When they explored here yesterday, there were still enemy troops active as usual.
Could it be that their actions were discovered by the enemy and they retreated early?
She used her spiritual sense to discover that there were no enemy troops in the entire camp, so she naturally did not make it public.
She continued to move around the military camp with the other three generals and Zhuoran.
They endured the fire and walked for most of the way. Zhuo Ran was the first to ask a question: "Why is there no one here? Even if we killed them all, there should be corpses left, right?"
Several other generals raised similar questions.
At this time, those who were originally responsible for looting the food and fodder also came back, saying that the granaries where the food and fodder were stored were empty, without a single grain of food.
No matter what the truth is, Feiying knew that the operation to loot food and grass had failed, so she could only lead her troops back to Fuxin City and make further plans.
"I heard that your operation tonight failed?"
Feiying was sitting in the house, wondering why there was no one in the enemy camp tonight, when Jing Anping walked in with two jugs of wine.
"Indeed, I was tricked by the enemy. If you are here to laugh at me, turn left when you leave. Bye."
Jing Anping talked to himself, put the wine jug on the table, poured wine into everyone's glasses, and sat down.
"Does the king look like someone who would kick someone when he's down?"
"I think it looks like that."
Jing Anping raised his hand and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but held back.
"Forget it. I don't want to talk nonsense with you today. Come, I'm afraid you're in a bad mood. Have a few drinks with me. As the saying goes, a drink can relieve a thousand worries."
He handed a wine glass to her.
Feiying took a look, took it and drank it all, then poured herself a few more glasses.
"Drink slowly. No one will snatch it from you. There is plenty of wine in this city."
"I'll toast to you, Yinglan. Just treat today's incident as an accident. Don't take it to heart. Next time, I'll definitely succeed."
"Thank you for your good words, Your Majesty."
For some reason, Feiying felt drunk today after only a few drinks.
She fell limply on the table and fell asleep.
Jing Anping raised his hand and stroked the hair he had gently stroked: "Thank you for your hard work, Yinglan, you have been too tired recently."
"But who are you? Where did the original Mu Yan go?"
Sitting at the table and staring at her sleepy eyes for a while, he then carried her to the bed, tucked in the quilt, and then closed the door and left.
Feiying slept until dawn because she was drunk.
These days, this possessed body of hers has felt more refreshed than ever before.
She walked out the door and went downstairs. The aroma of delicious food, which seemed to have not been smelled for a long time, filled her nose.
