Chapter 1560: Winning People’s Hearts in a Small Space

Fifteen Northern Yuan soldiers were being held in the yard, and six or seven bodies of people killed in the resistance were lying on the ground.

Most of the Northern Yuan soldiers were not wearing thick winter clothes, and were obviously suddenly dragged out of their beds by the Xia family army.

While Xia Zhaoyi was playing with Qiansibi and looking at the bird cages one by one, the soldiers kept staring at her back with angry eyes.

It was not until Xia Zhaoyi turned around and looked at them with interest with her bright eyes that Xia Zhi stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, how do we deal with these people?"

Most of these Northern Yuan soldiers could understand Chinese, and their eyes became even more ferocious when they heard this.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and said, "The territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty is vast, and the distances between different points are very far. The falcon trainers in the Northern Yuan Dynasty are all extraordinary figures. In this case, let's kill them all."

Zhan Ning hurriedly said, "Second Miss, no."

Xia Zhaoyi raised an eyebrow: "No?"

"Today I have killed too many people. If I kill more, my sins will accumulate."

Xia Zhaoyi blinked: "I see, it seems that we killed a lot today."

Zhan Ning said, "I think, Miss Second, you should pick a few to kill, and we will take the rest back and torture them to force them to tell us how to tame eagles."

Xia Zhaoyi said thoughtfully: "Good idea."

She looked back at the cage and said happily, "There are so many eagles and pigeons, enough for me to mess up Shang Taiyu's military intelligence."

Zhan Ning said, "Second Miss, are you going to stew them? That's great, the brothers will all enjoy it!"

Xia Zhi's reaction was a little slow. After a while, he remembered that he needed to take the lead in making a fuss: "Great, there's meat to eat!"

"Stupid!" Xia Zhaoyi scolded, "Have you forgotten what I am good at?"

Zhan Ning said, "How could this be possible! But Miss, you are good at so many things. What are you pointing at now?"

Xia Zhaoyi said proudly: "General, I am good at imitating other people's handwriting."

The Northern Yuan soldiers, who had been listening to their conversation with cold and angry faces, suddenly changed their expressions, looked at the girl with fear in their eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi said, "It's a pity to eat these hawks and pigeons. They will be great heroes in the future. I'll go to the study room inside and look through it. There must be handwritings of Shang Taiyu and his military lieutenants. I will imitate their handwriting and write some false information. Then I will spread it with these hawks and pigeons. Do you think it's fun?"

Zhan Ning's eyes lit up: "Won't this move completely destroy their intelligence communication methods?!"

"Of course. From now on, wherever I go, I will destroy their intelligence contact points and make them suffer. Let's go!" Xia Zhaoyi turned and went into the house. After a pause, he turned his head to look at the soldiers kneeling on the ground and said to Xia Zhi, "Kill them as you see fit."

Xia Zhi responded: "Yes!"

Before entering the house, Zhan Ning yelled at Xia Zhi: "When the second young lady comes out, you have to clean up the yard and make sure there's no blood everywhere!"

"Yes!"

The room was indeed filled with books and letters, but they were kept very neatly organized.

After Xia Zhaoyi entered the room, he took a quick look, picked up a few letters and opened them.

Zhan Ning whispered, "I hope that these people outside can survive this severe cold after we let them go. They must survive and tell Shang Taiyu what we just said. I want to see how angry Shang Taiyu will be, and from now on, he may never dare to believe the letters sent by Fei Niao again."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled faintly: "I wish I had known earlier that I should have kept Xia Junnan. He has already gained experience by letting people escape."

"It's okay. Wait until the general and his men tear down the entrance to Eagle Star Fort and then come back and put it back."

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head. "It's not easy to remove. The stones are very solid. It's night time now. If the stones are pushed down, it will easily hurt people. It will probably take them another three hours to come back. We have to wait until daybreak."

"Well, Second Miss, I'll have someone prepare some hot water. You can take a bath first and then rest for a while! Don't worry, General Xia Junnan is not the only one who can act. We haven't eaten pork, but we have seen pigs run away!"

Xia Zhaoyi was indeed very tired, and the strong fishy smell on his body was indeed unpleasant.

But she was not the only one who was tired, nor was she the only one covered in blood.

Xia Zhaoyi shook his head again: "No, let's get down to business first. Shang Taiyu must be informed of these events at Yingxing Fort as soon as possible. Otherwise, the pressure on Qingji Pass will be great."

Zhan Ning had no choice but to say, "Then I'll go see what their kitchen looks like. If their ingredients are good, I'll make something for the Second Miss."

"Okay, but if their ingredients are bad, you don't have to go to our logistics department to get them. I'm not really hungry."

"Ah."

The night seemed to pass quickly, yet also seemed to be particularly long.

When daybreak came, several large eagles flew over and landed steadily in the yard.

The men immediately stepped forward to take the letter, went into the house and handed it to Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi read it calmly, pondered for a moment with the hand holding the pen, and then wrote as if possessed by God.

While she was planning her attack in this small space, the three thousand Xia family soldiers ten miles away, after a long night of fighting, finally, amid loud shouts, pulled down the last barrier at the entrance of Eagle Star Fort with more than thirty long ropes as thick as their arms.

Huge rocks dug into the earth, the mountains shook, and the flying frost and snow whistled past everyone like a white mist.

The Xia family army was ecstatic, with tears in their eyes, and they cheered while standing on the ruins at the entrance of Eagle Star Fort.

Someone suddenly shouted loudly and excitedly: "Second Miss! Second Miss! Second Miss!"

Everyone was moved, and thousands of people shouted in unison: "Second Miss! Second Miss! Second Miss!"

Many Beiyuan people who had fled ahead of time in the chaos turned their heads and looked towards the entrance of Eagle Star Fort on the vast snowy plain. The flames of hatred burned fiercely in their hearts, but no matter how angry they were, it was useless because they were homeless.

Got to survive this harsh winter first.

Eagles in the sky spread their wings and flew over, and countless eagles flapped their wings and flew away.

Three eagles flew over one pale snow-capped mountain after another, looking for Shang Taiyu one by one.

Shang Taiyu, who had set up camp thirty miles outside Qingji Pass, was analyzing the defensive weaknesses of Qingji Pass on a wooden table with a dozen other people.

Qingji Pass has a wide and flat terrain, which was originally very easy to attack. However, over the past few decades, generation after generation of Han people have relied on their superb earth and stone smelting and carpentry design to build high buildings on the flat ground of Qingji Pass, and with their own hands they have constructed an extremely solid, easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack fortress.

Now, none of them knew how many mechanisms the Han people had designed and installed in the battlements and watchtowers on the city walls.

In recent years, I heard that the weapons of the Han people have become more and more advanced, and they have added a very light and easy-to-use continuous-fire crossbow.

It is still a mystery how powerful this crossbow is.

However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that the total number of troops guarding Qingji Pass and the Zhenwu Camp sent by the Chimen Army is only a few thousand.

As long as they can survive the first few waves and withstand the enemy's arrows and rush to the city, it is only a matter of time before they capture Qingji Pass.

At this moment, several soldiers ran in in shock: "King! Something happened!!"

Shang Taiyu frowned and scolded, "What happened again?"

The soldiers looked at Shang Taiyu in fear, fearing that he would be angered: "The Xia family army took over the entrance to Yingxing Fort last night, and the entrance to Yingxing Fort... was slaughtered by Ali!"

Everyone's eyes widened, thinking they had heard it wrongly.

Shang Taiyu shouted: "How is it possible! The Xia family army has only more than a thousand soldiers and horses, and they captured the entrance of our Eagle Star Fort?!"

"Yes, it's more than 8,000."

"How much?!" Shang Taiyu excitedly walked around the desk and grabbed the soldier by the collar, "How much did you say?!"

"Eight thousand!" The soldier held up the letter in his hand. "King, please take a look."

Shang Taiyu pushed him away and snatched the letter paper.

Just as he took a quick look, a few more soldiers rushed in in a panic: "King! The Xia family army led 30,000 soldiers and captured the entrance of Yingxing Fort! They are about to send troops to Lingdai City!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Shang Taiyu was furious.

The first wave of soldiers who came running over also looked at them in disbelief.

  How could there be as much as thirty thousand!

"King, letter!" The second wave of soldiers hurriedly raised the letter.

Two letters, with exactly the same handwriting, and both were written in a style that Shang Taiyu was extremely familiar with.

Shang Taiyu just felt his head buzzing.

Soon, the third wave of soldiers arrived, also with letters from Eagle Star Fort, written in the same handwriting and writing style.

But what they said was that the Xia family army launched a night attack last night, but was successfully driven away. They only had 19 casualties, while the Xia family army suffered more than 500 casualties.

Shang Taiyu looked at the three letters in amazement.

Every letter seemed real, yet so fake...

Even though the 30,000 soldiers and horses appeared out of nowhere in the second letter, Shang Taiyu found it more and more realistic.

The situation seemed to be out of control and had reached such an absurd level.

The only thing that Shang Taiyu confirmed was that something really happened at the entrance of Eagle Star Fort.

That Ali, really did something at the entrance of Eagle Star Fort.

"How is it possible!" Shang Taiyu said angrily, "Isn't she still young? She is so young, how could she do it! That's the entrance to Eagle Star Fort!"

Shang Taiyu crumpled the letter in his hand and looked at Ahe Luodan, who was ranked first among the counselors.

"Lord Ah He, what shall I do next?"

Ah He Luodan pondered and said, "Your Majesty, the Han people have a saying: Besiege Wei to save Zhao. In my opinion, regardless of whether it is true or false, Ah Li's intention is to attack Qingji Pass. Your Majesty, let's continue to attack Qingji Pass."

The counselor Xia Erhu said, "But, my lord, if something happens at the entrance of Yingxing Fort and the Zaburen Barracks, and Ali leads his troops to attack Lingdai City, we will have no choice but to lose Lingdai City!"

Although Lingdai City is the most prosperous city, due to its superior terrain, there are no other heavily guarded cities except the entrance of Eagle Star Fort.

After all, none of them could have imagined that someone could lead troops to raid from the Golden Moon Mountain in such a short time.

And most importantly, they were completely blind at the moment and had no idea of ​​the enemy's strength.

But since they were able to capture Eagle Star Fort so quickly, the enemy's military strength must be more than the previous intelligence said, which was only about fifteen thousand.

True and false, real and fake, this girl has so many tricks up her sleeve, and her improvisations are endless, it's really frightening.

"Report!" Another soldier came running in from outside.

When he heard his voice, Shang Taiyu felt a panic in his chest.

This was the first time that he, who had always been arrogant, felt this way!
