Yuan Yuhan didn't have time to explain anything. He just glanced at A Ru and said softly, "Stay in the room and don't come out."
After saying that, Yuan Yuhan quickly walked out. Yuan Yuchuan also heard the noise and rushed out in a hurry, following behind Yuan Yuhan.
Mu Fengqie looked at Jing Xunchao lying on the bed and finally followed them out. Although Yuan Yuhan and Ouyang Heng could handle things on their own in Jing Xunchao's absence, she was still worried. After all, Tule Haojia was no ordinary person. Just the smallpox epidemic had caught them off guard. Who knew what other schemes he had in store?
When they reached the city wall, the people were stunned to see Mu Fengqie in armor, especially Yuan Yuhan. He immediately grew tense. "This is no place for a woman. Go back quickly. It's too dangerous here."
As a friend of Jing Xunchao, he naturally had to help his friend take care of his woman. Moreover, it was extremely dangerous for a woman to be among a group of men. This was a battlefield! How could she show no sign of fear?
Mu Fengqie shook her head. "With so many people protecting me here, I'll be fine. Why is the Tule tribe not making any move?"
When she first heard the noise, she thought the Tule tribe had launched a surprise attack. But when she reached the city wall, she found it was very quiet outside the city. Although the Tule tribe's soldiers were in sight, they stood motionless outside the city, which was incredibly bizarre. No one knew what they were up to.
"I don't know what they're up to. That's Tule Haojia over there. He never fights a battle without a plan. We must be extra careful today," Ouyang Heng sighed.
Things at home were in a complete mess, and they had been frequently attacked on the battlefield. All this had taken a toll on Ouyang Heng. In just a few days, he looked as if he had aged ten years.
Mu Fengqie also turned her gaze to Tule Haojia. He was a handsome man with a masculine charm, looking valiant and heroic. One could tell at a glance that he was a man from the grasslands, with a kind of boldness that was different from other men.
Although he had an extremely handsome face, Mu Fengqie didn't like this kind of man because his heart was not as good as his looks.
Tule Haojia was also sizing up the people on the city wall. He noticed Mu Fengqie the moment she appeared. He had never seen a woman look so beautiful in armor.
Moreover, this woman was incredibly beautiful. Her heroic face, combined with a neat suit of armor, made her look like a fairy. Just one glance at her had left him spellbound.
He had never heard that there was such a female general in Pingzhou. But no matter how good this woman was, she was still an enemy. He only admired her a little.
"Come on! Execute the plan!" Tule Haojia gave the order, and the Tule tribe's soldiers sprang into action.
As soon as his voice faded, several wooden carts suddenly appeared from nowhere. Huge fireballs were continuously launched from these carts and flew straight into the city wall. Many people had already been hit.
Mu Fengqie stared at Tule Haojia in shock. Facing these huge fireballs, she suddenly had an inexplicable inspiration.
Weren't these fireballs just like modern bombs? However, the destructive power of these fireballs was not great. If they had bombs, they might be able to blow the grassland people away in no time.
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie suddenly had an idea. Although she didn't know exactly how to prepare the explosive, she had learned how to make explosives in school. She thought she might be able to figure out the ingredients by trial and error.
"I'm going back first. You must hold on here. Remember, never open the city gate to fight them head - on. The things I've arranged for will be brought here soon."
After giving these instructions, Mu Fengqie quickly ran back. She had long known that the war would continue for some time, so she had also made some weapons when she went to look for honeysuckle.
She didn't know how to make weapons, and even if she did, it wouldn't be very useful. So she had made some sulfuric acid. The amount of sulfuric acid was quite large, so it should be able to hold them off for a while.
Not long after she left, Zhu Fei brought the sulfuric acid. With Zhu Fei's help, the sulfuric acid was shot out one by one. When it hit the Tule tribe's soldiers, it had an immediate effect. Almost every soldier who was hit fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
Seeing this, Tule Haojia knew something was wrong. To his surprise, the enemy had come up with such an incredibly bizarre method. He had never seen such a strange thing before. Why did this yellow liquid make a person's skin rot instantly when it came into contact with the skin?
Who in Pingzhou was coming up with these strategies? He had already studied Ouyang Heng's tactics thoroughly, so this strange move couldn't have been his idea. Among Yuan Yuhan and Yuan Yuchuan, only Yuan Yuhan was a worthy opponent, but it didn't seem like his idea either.
In just a short while, the grassland people quickly retreated. Ouyang Heng didn't expect that it was Mu Fengqie who had repelled the enemy again. He felt both admiration and gratitude towards her, and even a little bit of guilt.
He had once looked down on women, but now it was this woman who had saved Pingzhou City from deep trouble time and time again. If she were a man, she would surely be a promising talent.
Tule Haojia returned to his tent and couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. The figure of Mu Fengqie kept floating in and out of his mind. It seemed that his tribesmen had said last time that there was a woman causing trouble. Could that woman be the one he saw today?
If they had lost last time because of that woman, could it be that she had also come up with today's strategy?
"Go and find out who that woman in Pingzhou is. Also, find out if today's strategy was her idea," Tule Haojia said while playing with the dagger in his hand.
Whenever he closed his eyes, he would involuntarily think of that woman's appearance. If she were a grassland woman, he would surely take her by his side.
Mu Fengqie was quietly thinking about the proportion of the explosive in her room. She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice an unexpected guest had suddenly entered the room.
Yuan Yuchuan rushed to her place as soon as he got back to the mansion. He didn't expect Mu Fengqie to have the demeanor of a general. Although on the surface they were on the same side, after all, her man was with Yuan Yuhan. If Mu Fengqie were to be persuaded to defect to Yuan Yuhan one day, wouldn't he lose a talented person?
He would never allow such a thing to happen!
