Chapter 77

In the military tent, there was a pile of broken knives in the mud, which were just picked up from the battlefield. Shen Jinyu and Su Qinjun looked at the pile of broken knives with gloomy and ugly faces.

Shang Yunfei stepped forward to pick up a few broken knives and broke them off forcefully, the few broken knives responded to the sound and broke off again, he didn't give up, went outside the tent and dragged two soldiers in, pulled out their knives and broke them off, and they broke off easily .

"Damn it, it's all a useless knife!" Shang Yunfei spat at the broken knife, "How do you fight this? How do you fight with this thing?"

"It's clear that there is an inner ghost! These waste knives were approved by His Majesty from the Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of War when we went out! It's only on the battlefield that the goddamn prototype showed. If Lord Shen hadn't seen the clue and rescued us in time, we would have already We stand here dead. Those of us are hanging our lives to fight on the front line, they sit in the palace, cut corners, steal money and invade, and give us something like this to go to the battlefield!" Xue Ye slammed the table angrily, wishing he could rush back All the people in the Ministry of War were pulled out and chopped down.

"The only weapons that can be used now are the long knives, bows and arrows on the soldiers under Benhou's command, and the few swords left in the arsenal, but this is far from enough for the soldiers of the army camp. I roughly calculated that I can hold a knife. There are only 2000 people on the battlefield, and the rest have no soldiers or weapons, so they can't go with bare hands, right?" Su Qinjun sighed, he thought that Shen Jinyu and Xue Ye would come to support with the emperor's decree, and the battle would undoubtedly be won. But I didn't expect that accidents were waiting here.

Shen Jinyu: "In today's battle, Dajin lost nearly a thousand soldiers, while Dongta lost less than 400 soldiers. I have sent a secret letter back to Beijing to inform His Majesty about this. You know, reinforcements and weapons will be delivered as quickly as possible."

"But Shuobei is far away from the imperial city, and it will take fifteen days to send the letter back quickly. Even if His Majesty orders people to bring weapons over the mountains and ridges, it will take more than a month to arrive in Shuobei. We can't wait. Dongta group People are not fools, they will never let go of this excellent opportunity to attack." Shang Yunfei said anxiously.

"There are already Dongta's spies in the court." Shen Jinyu remembered the smug expression on Qian Hailong's face when he went to rescue Xue Ye. Otherwise, it would not be so calm."

"Yes, when I played against him today, I was too focused. If he hadn't reminded me to look at my troops, I wouldn't have realized that so many of our people had died!"

Outside the army account, Zhao Zhao, who was pretending to be a soldier, slipped back when he heard the news.

"What happened?" Qi Yue put down the knife and asked.

Zhao Zhao: "Yes, I heard that they lost 1000 people in the first battle today, while Dongtai lost less than [-] people. If Master Shen hadn't discovered the clue in time to save people, we probably wouldn't have to assassinate Shang Yunfei. He has to die in Dongta's encirclement today."

As soon as she heard the words of Dong Tart's inner ghost, Qi Yue stared at Yin Baiyi with gloomy eyes, her heart was seized by the news,

Su Qinjun: "The most important thing now is to worry about where to prepare so many weapons and come back. Dongta won today, and may attack again at any time. We don't have many soldiers who can go to the battlefield, and we won't last long."

After hearing this, Su Qinjun nodded, "Go ahead, follow Master Shen's instructions, and be sure to collect all the weapons that can be used on the battlefield!"

"Then, is Mr. Shen injured?" Qi Yue asked nervously.

"I haven't forgotten! I went looking for the knife not for Shen Jinyu, but for Dajin. You are right, you and I are both prisoners, and nothing can change it and stop it, but I always think that the country is the bottom line. Duan Mufeng is collaborating with the enemy and treason. I can't do it. If Dong Ta's horseshoes step into the territory of Da Jin today, you and I will sooner or later become ghosts under their scimitars. You work hard for Duan Mufeng. I have nothing to say, but you always have family and friends, right? Dong If the Tat people really invaded Dajin, do you think your family can still survive?" Qi Yue said every word to his heart, looking straight into Yin Baiyi's eyes.

A doctor was bandaging the knife wound on Xue Ye's back, and he grinned in pain.

"How are they going to fight without a knife? The useless knife will be broken as soon as it is cut, isn't it going to die?"

"That's good," Qi Yue's heart was slightly relieved, she lowered her head, her eyes were fixed on the burning fire, and she didn't speak for a while.

"First send out all the knives, swords, bows and arrows that can be used at present, and see how much is left in the end. The emperor will definitely send them over when he receives the letter. Let's think of a way first. The knives in the knife shop in Shuobei City I bought everything that could be bought, and asked people to gather all the blacksmiths in the city to practice knives," Shen Jinyu sighed, "This is the only way we can save it now."

Suddenly, as if she had made a decision, she stood up and walked out with a knife in her hand. Yin Baiyi reached out and grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I overheard from outside the army account today, that Mr. Shen, the sabers of the reinforcements he brought from the imperial city were tampered with. Only when we went to the battlefield today did I find out that their sabers were useless. Let’s just say, now the entire Shuobei can’t get enough of those soldiers and a knife, and they are all struggling to figure out what to do. They say that the inner ghost of Dongta has appeared in the imperial court. They are already on guard everywhere now. Our pass is not good. It's easy to mix in, and Shang Yunfei is with them all the time, so there is no chance to make a move."

Qi Yue: "Go out and find a knife. Without a knife, they can't fight the Dongta people at all!"

"It should not be there. Listening to the movement inside, only the one surnamed Xue was injured."

Su Qinjun is over half a hundred years old. He has been guarding the Shuobei border all his life. Now this old general looks old. Now there are powerful enemies outside and spies inside. How many foreigners are there in Tao's court?

Sitting in the abandoned house, Qi Yue wiped his knives against the fire. When he heard the movement, he looked up, and saw Zhao Zhao rushing in in a hurry. As soon as he entered the door, he started yelling for something to happen.

Yin Baiyi roared sharply: "For that Shen Jinyu? Don't forget your identity and mission!"

Yin Baiyi's heart paused, and the hand holding Qi Yue suddenly lost strength.Her words seemed to wake up his indifferent heart. He thought of his elderly mother far away in his hometown, his sister who was married as a wife, and the little niece who always raised her head and asked him for candy. With the scimitar swung into Dajin, his relatives must be involved in the flames of war, how can they be safe?

"Did you take that poison too?" Qi Yue asked.

Yin Baiyi shook his head.

"Didn't eat your shit," Qi Yue saw Yin Baiyi's wavering, "I'm not afraid of anything you are afraid of, and Duan Mufeng is not here, how does he know what we have done? Just the three of us, make up a reasonable reason, It’s over, do you want to be a traitor and make your relatives and friends look down? Yin Baiyi, I have always thought that you are different from Duan Mufeng and the others. We can be forced to be the heinous killers full of blood in the eyes of others. But you can't be a traitor who won't have the face to go to hell to see your ancestors after death."
