"Miss Ye, what do you think we are going to do next?"

The army walked for another five days, and finally reached the outside of Qinghe City. In the past five days, although there will be desperate bandits and small groups of rebels from time to time to raid, for the well-trained soldiers led by Ling Youli, those disorderly stragglers are not a threat.

However, when they came to the outside of Qinghe City, how to attack the city became their biggest problem.

That night, in Ling Youli's tent, Ye Chutao, Nangong Qiyue and Lin Yucheng were all called by Ling Youli.

In the flames of the candles, Ling Youli stared at the map on the table, frowning.

"This Qingshui River is actually not wide, if it is in spring and summer, you can send someone to swim there secretly, but now in the middle of winter, the river is frozen, and it is a little difficult to reach the other side of the river without knowing it. ”

Ye Chutao supported his chin with one hand, and unconsciously tapped lightly on the map with the other.

In the past five days, because of the arrow wound that day, Mama Zhao has a high fever and wakes up from time to time, because of her advanced age, her body has been tortured like this, so in just a few days, Mama Zhao has been haggard and lost a lot of weight, alas, what should I do?

"Can you just walk on the ice?"

On the side, Lin Yucheng saw that Ye Chutao looked a little absent-minded, and knew that she was worried about Mama Zhao, so after thinking about it, he hesitated and said: "It's been more than a month this winter, and I think the ice on the river should be quite thick." ”

"No, I can't. ”

I know that now is an important juncture, and I can't be so confused. So trying to restrain his thoughts, Ye Chutao decisively shook his head and vetoed Lin Yucheng's proposal.

"Let's not say that we don't know how thick the ice in the middle of the river is, even if the ice is very thick, but walking on the ice and there is nothing around to cover it, it is equivalent to exposing all the soldiers to the enemy's sight, in this case, they are guarding the city, and they only need to put arrows on the city walls, and we will be crushed. ”

"That ......"

Ye Chutao's words made Lin Yucheng speechless. He can barely be regarded as a businessman, and he is really not good at this kind of marching and fighting.

"I think we need a bridge. ”

Seeing Ye Chutaodai's eyebrows frowning slightly and a little worried, Nangong Qiyue opened her mouth.

"Bridge?"

Ye Chutao's eyes lit up.

"You mean, we're building bridges?"

"Yes. ”

Nangong Qiyue glanced at the map on the table.

"This Qingshui River is born around the city, and if you want to enter Qinghe City, you must cross the river. But now it's freezing cold, but like you said, even if the river is frozen, but so many people walk on the ice, even if the ice is thick, it will definitely crack. Therefore, it was imperative that we find a way to allow the soldiers to cross the river without falling into the river due to cracking of the ice or for any other reason. ”

"But even if you build a bridge and walk on it, won't the people on the bridge still become live targets for the enemy?"

Since chatting with Nangong Qiyue in Jianluan City that night, Lin Yucheng's "hostility" towards Nangong Qiyue has been faintly reduced. But even so, when he saw Nangong Qiyue being so "showy" in front of Ye Chutao at this time, he felt a little uncomfortable.

So glancing at Ye Chutao, who showed admiration on his face, Lin Yucheng muttered in a low voice.

"As long as there is a bridge, I have my own way to get the army to cross the bridge smoothly. ”

The enchantment given by the unpivot should be able to be used again, and it should be no problem for the soldiers to cross the river under the cover of the enchantment.

"And how are you going to build this bridge?"

Although I don't know what Nangong Qiyue can do so confidently to say the words of letting tens of thousands of soldiers cross the river, Ye Chutao knows that he is not a person who talks about the river, so there is no hesitation, Ye Chutao chooses to believe him.

However, with the method of crossing the river, how to build a bridge is another problem.

"We have soft ladders, and if you connect them, you can use them as bridges. ”

Ling Youli suddenly spoke: "I listen to Nangong Gongzi's meaning, the function of this bridge seems to be just to prevent the soldiers from walking directly on the ice to prevent the ice from cracking, in this way, although the bridge made of soft ladders is more difficult to walk, it can achieve this purpose." ”

"Who's going to send to build the bridge?"

Ye Chutao spoke again.

"It would not be impossible for a few soldiers to sneak across the river to build a bridge across the river in the dark of night, but once they are discovered by the enemy, they may not be able to come back. ”

"Since Nangong Gongzi just said that there is a way to allow tens of thousands of soldiers to cross the river safely, it should be no problem to escort a few soldiers to build a bridge on the river. ”

Glancing at Nangong Qiyue, who had a faint expression, Lin Yucheng said.

"No, I can't. ”

Nangong Qiyue's face remained unchanged.

"I can only use that method once, if I protect a few soldiers building bridges, I can't protect the whole army. ”

"And such a thing?"

Regarding Nangong Qiyue's words, Lin Yucheng obviously didn't believe it.

"When it comes to building bridges, I have my own safe people at my disposal. ”

Glancing at Lin Yucheng with a smile, Ling Yu said.

"I don't know who?"

Ye Chutao was a little surprised.

"Falling clothes. ”

"Miss Qu?"

Ling Youli's name made Ye Chutao and Lin Yucheng both shocked.

"But Miss Qu, she ...... Her eyes ......"

"What if you can't see with your eyes? There are some things that you don't need to see with your eyes. ”

Suddenly, a cold voice came from the door of the tent and interrupted Ye Chutao's words, Ye Chutao and the others turned their heads, and saw Qu Luoshang gently shaking the folding fan and slowly walking in.

"Your Excellency. ”

Walking step by step in front of Ling Youli, Qu Luoshang closed the folding fan in his hand.

"Miss Qu. ”

Although Ye Chutao doesn't hate Qu Luosheng, she doesn't like it, but at this time, she still can't accept what Ling Youli said about letting a blind person do such a dangerous thing.

"This must be very dangerous, you ......"

"Miss Lao Ye is worried. ”

calmly "looked" at Ye Chutao, and Qu Luoshang "looked" at Ling Youli again.

"Without further ado, I'm going to have someone tie the ladder together and go build the bridge. ”

"Good. ”

patted Qu Luoshang's arm, and Ling Youli didn't have a trace of worry on his face.

"It's cold outside, go early and come back early. ”

"Good. ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Qu Luoshang shook the folding fan and slowly walked out.

Seeing this, Ye Chutao originally wanted to persuade Ling Youli to reassign others, but Nangong Qiyue on the side reached out and pulled her sleeve.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chutao asked Nangong Qiyue with his eyes.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine. ”

Nangong Qiyue also responded with her eyes.

"Really?"

"Really. ”

"Good. ”

Nodding reassuringly, Ye Chutao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she only made eye contact with Nangong Qiyue just now, the magic was that she seemed to be able to understand what Nangong Qiyue meant. Besides, since Nangong Qiyue said that there would be no accident with Qu Luosheng, of course Ye Chutao still chose to believe him.

"My lord, I'll go out first. ”

Ye Chutao and Nangong Qiyue were originally just ordinary eye contact, but when their actions fell in Lin Yucheng's eyes, they were eyebrows.

Therefore, because he really couldn't accept that his cousin, who he had liked and loved since he was a child, was now interested in other men, so in addition to being annoyed, Lin Yucheng threw a sentence to Ling Youli, and then flicked his sleeves and walked out of the camp quickly.

"What's wrong with him, cousin?"

Feeling that something was wrong with Lin Yucheng, Ye Chutao was puzzled.

“......”

For the leaves of the first peach. The emotional entanglement between Lin Yucheng and Nangong Qiyue was Ling Youli's choice to be silent.

"He's fine. ”

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Nangong Qiyue said calmly.

"Oh. ”

Since Nangong Qiyue said that it was okay, then the cousin must be fine.

Therefore, Ye Chutao no longer bothered about Lin Yucheng's affairs, but looked at the map and began to discuss the future battle plan with Nangong Qiyue and Ling Youli.
