In the Blade

Experienced warriors know how to maintain blades better than novices, after all, the swords in their hands are more reliable than their partners on the battlefield.

Like the scimitars in the hands of most grassland warriors, these knives were made casually by grassland blacksmiths, rough and simple. However, no matter how crudely made these scimitars are, those grassland warriors who have followed He Xiqing for several years and even regard themselves as eagles also pay attention to maintaining these weapons.

This is also the biggest difference between them and the recruits.

Before following He Xiqing, these grassland eagles had already made a big name in their respective small tribes. Compared with ordinary people, they are more brave and aggressive, and more willing to compete for strength and competitiveness - of course, there are still many such people on the grassland, after all, most of the men in Mobei are of this nature.

But only a few smart people will pay attention to regularly looking for those wizards to sharpen the blades.

Before following He Xiqing, these clever grassland eagles would go to the big tribes to look for those crazy wizards after killing eight or ten people. The old wizards would blow the horn, which could calm their hearts, and the crazy wizards would beat the war drums to calm their restless blood with the rhythm. The calm wizards would polish the blades while reciting the ancient curses, which could return the bloody aura on the blades to heaven and earth, and also make the old blades sharper.

After sharpening the knives again and again, these grassland eagles became more and more courageous.

"Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood..."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help sighing when he saw this.

Sure enough, just as he could think of combining work and rest to fight a protracted war, the grassland veterans who survived the battlefield would also realize this.

But what Du Chengfeng cared more about was the way those wizards used the horns and war drums when sharpening the blades. Although the way those grassland wizards chanted the spells was a bit too difficult for him to memorize, after feeling the horns and drums so many times, he finally copied the answer he wanted most.

"In other words, the rhythm of the drums drives the body, and the sound of the horns guides the consciousness."

Although he didn't quite understand the specific principle of this thing, even if he just thought about it along this line of thought, Du Chengfeng had already figured out several tricks, which would definitely give He Xiqing some unexpected surprises.

Thinking of this, Du Chengfeng felt that his luck today was a bit too good. Just by going out once, Carpenter Li had already mastered the old battle axe and became a fighting force that could stand alone. After that, in the process of sharpening the knife, he got the method of using the horn and drums, and had the ability to target He Xiqing - just as he had lamented before, when the time comes, the world will work together.

In addition, if he continued to sharpen the blade, he could also spy on He Xiqing's current actions. This luck was even too good, so good that Du Chengfeng was a little uncomfortable.

But soon, Du Chengfeng knew that his good luck was not without reason.

Continuing to sharpen the blade, Du Chengfeng also felt the subsequent experience of the scimitars - after He Xiqing came to the Qingyang tribe, the holders of these scimitars, those grassland veterans, were all defeated by He Xiqing one by one and willingly became He Xiqing's soldiers. After all, on the grassland, it is a great honor to follow a strong man, not to mention that they are following a man like the sky.

As the man became stronger and stronger, these grassland veterans also felt that they were like eagles, flying higher and higher.

Eagles naturally eat meat. He Xiqing would often take them out hunting, preying on those disobedient small tribes, or simply come south to plunder Jizhou. Every time they took action, they dressed up as horse thieves to hide their tracks, but unlike most horse thieves, they did not seek money, but only killed people.

This is the way He Xiqing trained his soldiers. He said that a true warrior should be able to control the bloody aura. Those things that could not kill them would eventually become their strength. If you are a man, don't look for a wizard.

Since He Xiqing, a strong man, said so, the grassland veterans who compared themselves to eagles certainly chose to agree. So, under the leadership of He Xiqing, they tore all the enemies in front of them like tigers and wolves, devouring all the lives standing in front of them. The bloody aura really made them more and more courageous, and their eyes gradually turned red like blood.

As long as they follow behind He Xiqing, they will definitely win every battle.

All grassland eagles think so.

It is precisely because of this that even when faced with an almost crazy order to raid Jizhen overnight, they will execute it without hesitation.

After all, they completely trust He Xiqing, their eldest brother, and their general.

It was indeed easy to break through Jizhen. After a lot of killing in the streets outside the city, they, filled with blood and evil spirit, broke through the city itself without surprise. Liu Yanran, who once made the grassland warriors quite afraid and was in charge of Jibei, was also killed by He Xiqing with a single sword.

If things ended here, it would be fine.

Those grassland eagles thought so.

Then Du Chengfeng saw his big face in this dusty memory.

"Okay, it's me again?"

Du Chengfeng sighed, he knew it would be like this.

Originally, this should have been a great victory for these grassland eagles, but because of Du Chengfeng's several horseback charges, the momentum of the original great victory was cut off on the spot - these grassland eagles did not think about resisting, but in order to enter the street market to kill, they all dismounted and became infantry. When they were about to catch up on horseback, Du Chengfeng had already galloped away.

Even if He Xiqing came out to chase and kill, it was the same.

After several rounds of pulling back and forth, He Xiqing failed to kill Du Chengfeng, which made the grassland eagles who were originally full of momentum dejected.

Their own people were killed, but the boss failed to help them. This was undoubtedly a major blow to the morale of a unit - and more importantly, many people have recognized that the murderer who killed many grassland brothers is likely to be the murderer of He Xiqing's younger brother.

They can't even deal with the murderer who killed his younger brother. Is their eldest brother, this general, really as strong as he looks?

Many grassland warriors had doubts in their hearts.

But the next order made them even more sad.

All grassland warriors were not allowed to leave the city.

In Du Chengfeng's view, this was actually a very correct decision. It was obvious that He Xiqing saw through his thoughts and prevented him from getting stronger by shrinking the defense.

But most grassland warriors could not understand this decision. They just thought that He Xiqing was too cowardly.

So even for the stability of his men, He Xiqing could only send out scouts before dawn in the name of reconnaissance.

This was also a correct decision in Du Chengfeng's view. On the one hand, he could use "intelligence has not arrived yet" to appease his grassland eagles, so as to delay more time. On the other hand, he could indeed bring more external information, so as to make better strategic decisions.

But the next scene made Du Chengfeng laugh.

Several grassland rangers with scarlet eyes returned to the city, carrying the body of one of their companions. There was a scimitar on the body, but no one dared to pull it out.

Until He Xiqing appeared in front of the corpse.

"This is also a bloody weapon... How many swords can that person control at the same time?"

While saying this, He Xiqing pulled out the scimitar.

But after thinking about it, He Xiqing did not throw away the scimitar.

Instead, he found a sheath to put the knife in, and hung it on his waist together with his personal sword.

"... You dare to take this?"

Du Chengfeng's eyes were straight.

But he probably also realized why he suddenly became so lucky.

The unlucky scimitar was finally given to the right person by him.

If you think about it this way, you can understand the good luck of the day. His good luck all came from He Xiqing's bad luck. The better his luck, the worse the luck for He Xiqing, who is his enemy.

"This is an opportunity!"

Putting down the last old scimitar, Du Chengfeng's eyes lit up.

Before, he had already sensed He Xiqing's fear, and he confirmed this when he was polishing these scimitars just now. Obviously, in He Xiqing's eyes, he has become an opponent who can compete with him on the same stage.

And now, he has caught the opportunity to take action.

"You are dead."

After throwing all the scimitars into the warehouse, Du Chengfeng turned on the horse.

Things went much smoother than he imagined, and the end of this war was getting closer and closer.

And he will definitely be the one who survives.

Du Chengfeng has such determination.

Today's work and rest are normal, and there will be another chapter around twelve o'clock.
