Chapter 187 Xia Qin's Worries
The next moment, Zhao Nande and Duan Wude fled out of the woods with the remaining soldiers. Duan Wude still had an arrow stuck in his buttocks.
Although there were limited casualties among the 5,000 soldiers in each route, nearly a thousand of the soldiers who escaped were injured, and they had not had time to clean up the arrows and hidden weapons on their bodies.
"What's going on?" Qin Haoran looked at his two generals, his face darkening, "Didn't I tell you to be careful?"
Zhao Nande lowered his head and said nothing. Duan Wude grimaced in pain and said, "General Qin, we have been careful enough, but they are too vicious. They have set up many traps in the woods, and there are martial arts masters hiding in them. This is not the routine of war at all!"
"The arrows on your body..." Qin Haoran looked at Duan Wude's butt with some disgust.
Duan Wude said with a sad face: "There are barbs on this arrow, and I can't pull it out... I'm afraid I'll have to cut off my flesh."
After saying that, he groaned in pain again.
The expression on Lie Shu's face twisted: "This woman is really vicious. She can do such cruel things with such a small arrow!"
Liang Xueying's eyes were full of contempt. Although it was impossible for her to see clearly the appearance of Mo Ye and Xia Qin, she still stared at the city wall where they were.
She murmured, "She is indeed a vicious woman. Doesn't Brother Mo hate people like this the most?"
The weather has been foggy and now a drizzle is falling. Generally speaking, this kind of weather is not suitable for attacking the city, but it is indeed good news for Qin Haoran.
"Duan Wude, take these wounded soldiers with you and let the military doctors treat them well." Qin Haoran's tone was very calm. The loss of less than 2,000 new soldiers in an army of 100,000 was not a big deal. "General Li, get ready. We will launch a frontal attack in an hour!"
"Yes!"
The generals under his command all understood what Qin Haoran was thinking. The firearms used by Xia Qin were all ignited by fire, so their effectiveness would be greatly reduced on this rainy day.
If other coping methods are ineffective, then this simplest method is the only option left.
Following Li Chusheng's order, 20,000 troops began to slowly approach Jingzhou City.
Mo Ye leaned against the pillar on the tower with some boredom and said, "Why has Qin Haoran become so cautious? He doesn't have any courage at all."
"Of course he's afraid of his sister." Xiaoyu stood next to Xia Qin, holding several iron balls of different sizes and shapes in his hands. "Master, why do you want me to hold these balls?"
"This is a gift for General Li Chusheng," Mo Ye twisted his neck, "I asked Gou Xi to take half of it last time. He should receive this half today."
The enemy was getting closer and closer, and dozens of huge siege vehicles were slowly approaching along with the black crowd.
To their surprise, two devices similar to the ladder invented by Xia Qin also appeared in the field of vision.
A trace of gloom flashed across Xia Qin's originally calm face, which even Mo Ye didn't notice.
These two ladders were not a problem for Xia Qin, but deep in her heart she had a worry that she had never told anyone and could not tell anyone, not even Mo Ye.
That is, the inventions she brought with her through time travel might be learned by her enemies or even people with ulterior motives. With continuous optimization and development, the situation could get completely out of control.
Xia Qin is well aware of her strengths and weaknesses.
When it comes to military talents such as leading troops in battle, reconnaissance and pursuit, and life-and-death battles, she is absolutely confident that she is no less capable than anyone, even those martial arts masters.
However, she only had a little knowledge of fields such as technological creation and had never spent much time on it.
Therefore, up to now, the only people who know the raw materials and proportions of black gunpowder are her and Mo Ye.
Now it seems that her previous caution was undoubtedly correct.
"Xia Xia," Mo Ye's tone revealed a hint of displeasure, "It seems that Qin Haoran stole your invention."
"At that time, there were many generals trained by the Qin family in the Yancheng army. It is not surprising that they were able to imitate it."
Although Xia Qin said this, her eyes were always fixed on the two huge ladders.
The ladder I invented has hardly been used yet, but now it is being used by the enemy against me. This feeling really makes me feel unhappy.
"Mo Ye, get your people ready. Looks like we'll have to use some new gadgets in advance!"
