Maid, Little Lucky Wife

Soon, all the ropes were connected together, and they were estimated to be about the same width.

To be on the safe side, I picked up a few more.

Mo Xuan and several tall and strong sergeants stood behind the siege crossbow, trying to pull the bowstring.

As soon as Mo Xuan got started, he noticed a huge pulling force coming from him.

He shouted lowly, "Come on, let's all work together, one, two, three!"

On the count of three, everyone pulled the bowstring together. Veins in their arms bulged from the exertion and their eyes were red.

Finally, the width of the pull was enough. Someone stepped forward and immediately lifted the bow and arrow into and out of the arrow port.

"One, two, three, let go!"

With a bang, the arrow flew towards the other side, making a loud noise.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the direction of the arrow, but when it was approaching the other side, the arrow suddenly became weak and fell into the river.

The sergeants who were familiar with siege crossbows immediately analyzed it, while Mo Xuan listened silently.

"Sir, the angle of the bow and arrow is wrong. Try moving upwards."

"it is good."

Mo Xuan nodded, and the people around him began to pull back the arrows. After all, there were only three arrows, and without them, there would be no chance.

The river was too fast, and the arrow was too heavy due to the water and the weight of the rope.

Halfway through, everyone suddenly took two steps back and sat on the ground, and the tight rope became weightless.

"Sir, the rope is broken!"

Mo Xuan sighed secretly, "Go on, change to another arrow!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The rope was broken at the interface. I don't know if it was tied poorly or for some reason. I connected all the ropes again, added some more, and checked them twice.

The siege crossbow was activated again, and Mo Xuan did not participate. After all, he was not particularly strong, so he left it to others.

Mo Xuan shouted slogans from the side.

"Oh!"

There was another loud noise, and the arrow flew out again.

Soon I saw the arrow flying to the other side and piercing into the ground.

"Great, haha, we succeeded."

"Sir, we succeeded, that's great."

The surrounding sergeants couldn't help cheering, and Mo Xuan smiled.

Everyone pulled hard and it felt quite strong.

The rope here is tied to a thick stone and is very strong.

And other people who made rafts have come back in waves.

Mo Xuan led several people directly to the shore.

One of the lieutenants saw Mo Xuan going into the water himself and wanted to step forward to stop him, "Sir, you can't help it. You have average water skills and you can't take risks. Let's find some with good water skills."

"Yes, yes, sir, just wait until later and go over there. You must not go into the water now."

Mo Xuan waved his hands at the two of them, "Don't worry, I also made a bamboo raft in Li County. Besides, my qinggong is better than yours, so don't worry."

"But……"

Mo Xuan stopped caring about the few people and stepped forward and said that the raft should be tied to a rope or a person.

Everyone chose to tie a few people's waists to the raft.

Pull the rope with both hands and cross the river little by little.

When the raft was launched into the water, Mo Xuan didn't show off and sat in the middle of the crowd. The rope was not particularly high.

The river water is very cold, and the water can penetrate the body in an instant. After wearing the armor, it feels heavier, and it is even difficult to breathe.

The rushing sound of the water was so loud that several people could not speak at all and could not hear clearly.

I felt that the raft beneath me kept tilting to one side, wanting to be swept away by the current.

Several people could only hold on to the ropes to avoid being swept away.

I don't know how long it took, but Mo Xuan felt the strength in his body draining away. There was still one-third of the way to the other side, so he could only grit his teeth.

Finally arriving at the shore, everyone lay on the ground panting. It was so tiring.

People on the other side relaxed when they saw people successfully crossing the river, but they were not in a hurry to move on to the next wave of people.

Mo Xuan had discussed with them before that when they reached the other side, they would fix the rope first.

There are many trees on the other side, and they are quite strong.

A few people found a thick tree and tied ropes to it, and then the next wave began.

The place Mo Xuan chose to land happened to be relatively hidden, in front of the enemy, surrounding the enemy in the middle.

There were big trees for cover, but I still didn't dare to light the fire, so I could only move my body.

It took the sergeants one day and one night to cross the river.

The journey was going smoothly. The people behind were all rafts. Each raft could hold at least dozens of people. The speed was getting faster and faster. Moreover, there was no need to wait for the raft to reach the other side before setting off. A wave could be set off in a quarter of an hour.

Worried that the rope would break, everyone gathered another rope. Some of these ropes were worn by the sergeants around their waists, and some were made from vines on the mountain. It was fairly easy to explain.

Together, the two strands of rope add security and disperse the weight.

On the second day, after another morning of rest, everyone calmed down and began to study tactics.

This forest is not big, but it can hide the figure of the sergeant in front and block the enemy's sight.

The enemy is very relaxed now, drinking and eating meat every day, or mistreating the prisoners. Although the sword is in their hands, most of the armor is not worn. After all, it is not particularly convenient.

"Sir, the other party also uses the river water here. How about we poison the river?"

Mo Xuan shook his head and rejected it directly, "No, this river flows through the city, and the people may be using it, and if even the sergeants from General Li's side are poisoned, we will be guilty."

"We don't need to poison people, can't we just use cartilage powder?"

Mo Xuan was a little moved. After all, there were too many enemy troops, at least around 80,000. Their number was only 8,000. Even if they fought with people, they wouldn't be able to defeat them.

Before coming out, Yun Shang also asked him if he used Sleeping Beauty's fragrance. He thought about bringing it, but in the end he refused. If he used Sleeping Beauty, he couldn't hide it, and the capital and the emperor would definitely know about it. Although he and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Good friendship, but who can guarantee what will happen in the future?

Being with a king is like being with a tiger, and you are bound to be jealous. It is a very destructive weapon. If you are willing, the entire capital can take out the treasure. If you want to rebel, it is really not difficult.

So Mo Xuan didn't want Sleeping Beauty to be born again, and a group of people who knew about it were given a silence order by him, and no one was allowed to tell anyone.

In the end, Mo Xuan did not agree, "Let's first observe the nearby terrain to see if there is anything we can exploit. It would be best to eliminate most of the enemy's forces at once."

That's what they say, but it's too difficult to do. If you want to kill a large number of enemy troops without anyone noticing, without using poison, once they are discovered, the whole army will be wiped out.

Although the lieutenants were not optimistic about it, Mo Xuan already had a certain prestige due to the matter of crossing the river. Naturally, they would not refute it and let the scouts go out to explore the terrain and the enemy's strength.

Mo Xuan was not idle either. He followed the scouts and personally measured the land under his feet.
