Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 265: Having a Son Makes Everything Happy

Liang Kun stared intently into Lei Ming's eyes and said seriously, "Why don't you believe that they have six thousand elite troops? Do you know that your arrogance will kill many people in the future?"

Lei Ming said, "Data doesn't lie. Even if He Tian exhausts the resources of Lingzhou, he can't afford to support six thousand Tiger Warriors. I think saying three thousand is already giving him a lot of credit, let alone six thousand."

There must be something we don't know here. If we can lift this fog, the truth will be revealed. While it's true that overestimating the enemy is a basic quality of a general, overestimating the enemy's strength is also a disgrace for a general.

Liang Kun laughed and said, "So, you think—"

Lei Ming said, "I want to go and take a look around the battlefield."

After thinking for a moment, Liang Kun nodded and said, "It can only be viewed from a distance."

When Cao Kun's lance was slashed back by a horse-slaying saber, the lance trembled violently, the shaft bouncing incessantly in his hand, easily cracking his tiger's mouth.

The Thunder Smoke Beast let out a mournful cry and retreated. If Cao Ling's spear hadn't come to his rescue, he would likely have been killed by the slashing saber that came down again.

As soon as Cao Kun gripped his lance, he saw Cao Ling's lance severed by a fierce blow from the horse-slaying saber. The saber then slid down and cleanly severed the head of the Thunder Smoke Beast beneath Cao Ling.

"Ah Ling!" Cao Kun shouted, throwing his lance with all his might. He Tian, ​​the owner of the horse-slaying sword, swung his sword to cut the flying lance away, controlling the Thunder Smoke Beast and pressing forward step by step. Beside the hooves of his mount was Cao Ling, whose body was half-pressed down by the dead Thunder Smoke Beast.

He Tian stared at Cao Kun, and suddenly the cleaver in his hand slid down, its blade pointing straight at Cao Kun's throat.

Just as Cao Ling was about to die, a bow rang out, and the descending saber suddenly drew an arc, slicing away an iron arrow. He Tian glanced at Cao Kun opposite him, turned his horse around and looked at Zheng Tianshou not far away, saying, "You old servant, you usually cherish your life the most, what's wrong with you today? You've started to charge into battle like those unruly servants?"

Zheng Tianshou put away his longbow, picked up his lance, and began to trot along on his Thunder Smoke Beast. When he reached He Tian, ​​he used the speed of the horse as it had just started running to bring the lance down on He Tian's head with tremendous force.

He Tian sneered, sitting steadily on his horse. He raised his sword and swung it upwards. The collision between the lance and the sword was not loud. However, the thunderous beast under Zheng Tianshou suddenly stopped galloping. The thunderous beast under He Tian suddenly lowered its limbs. Although it quickly straightened up, Zheng Tianshou's warhorse had already galloped past him.

The horse spear overturned the dead Thunder Smoke Beast. Cao Ling slowly got up, spitting blood as he waved to Cao Kun to indicate that he was unharmed.

He Tian turned to Cao Kun and said, "Is the Cao family not even willing to leave me their last city?"

Cao Kun did not answer. He took another lance from the guard, pointed it at He Tian, ​​and urged his Thunder Smoke Beast to charge. He Tian glanced at Cao Kun, but did not engage in battle. Instead, he went to another battle group from the side.

Zheng Tianshou rode off in pursuit, while Cao Kun turned and led his guards toward the pre-selected battlefield.

From dawn until now, more and more Cao's army has poured into Lingzhou City. At the same time, Lingzhou, a city that has not experienced the ravages of war for many, many years, is finally filled with the sounds of fighting and smoke everywhere.

"Cao Kun has turned Lingzhou City upside down, and the Tiger Warriors outside the city have also utterly routed Cao Zheng's camp. Steward Liang, do you think it's possible that the Cao family will seize Lingzhou City, and the people of Lingzhou City will wipe out the Cao family's army outside the city?"

Liang Kun and a group of children were lying on the edge of a cliff, intently watching the battle below. Just as they were watching with great interest, the sound of thunder rang out once again.

“I am not a member of the military, so my words do not count. However, such a scene is absolutely impossible. Judging from the current situation, Cao Kun has more advantages. You see, the Cao army that was scattered by the Tiger Warriors did not collapse, but followed Cao Kun’s main force into Lingzhou City.”

“I understand that cities have boundaries, and fighting can only take place within the city walls, leaving little room for maneuver. Outside the city, it’s different. There are open areas on all sides. Although the Tiger Legion is fierce and unstoppable, its movement speed is not as fast as that of ordinary cavalry. Therefore, Cao’s losses are mostly infantry. Their cavalry are continuously advancing into the city, and Cao Kun’s advantage will become greater and greater.”

"Lei Ming, not only you, but all the other children, you also need to use your brains and think about how you would break through, how you would advance, and how you would retreat if you were on such a battlefield, in order to gain the greatest benefit."

"Cao Zheng's banner has already fallen. Look, Cao Ying has come to his rescue. But wait, he's been chased away by the Tiger Army again. What's wrong with this guy? He brought a tripwire, but it was useless. He was even killed in a panic."

"If our lord were here, he would surely have routed those elite troops."

The situation in Lingzhou City is already in complete chaos, and Yun Ce is also extremely busy.

When Eji started moaning, Zhang Min immediately started moaning too. I thought Zhang Min was faking it, but then I heard Gouzi say in my head, "Fake my ass! Her water broke, can't you see?"

Yun Ce stared at the woman lying on the two beds with Heng Ji, feeling utterly overwhelmed. He had just finished comforting E Ji when Zhang Min started yelling.

Only the couple were inside the house. Anji and her maids stood guard at the door, listening to Eji and Zhang Min's screams, unable to help at all, and could only stand at the door and wail.

Fortunately, today's midwife was Gouzi, who has eight arms and the ability to multitask. Four tentacles took care of Eji, and four tentacles took care of Zhang Min.

Even during the painful labor, Eji did not forget to ask Yun Ce why eight tentacles had grown on his body.

"I was born with many hands."

"What about the children? Do they have many hands too?"

“The baby’s head has just started to peek out. I’ll help you count it when it comes out.” Zhang Min suddenly burst into tears.

"Ah, I don't want my child to have many hands, and my husband to be a monster."

"Monster my foot! This is a great skill I've cultivated. I'll introduce you to it later. Now, push harder, I can already see the child's head. Wait, something's not right."

The dog roared, "That's not the head, that's the baby's butt! This baby is breech, shove it in, it'll be reborn..."

"Hahaha, Zhang Min, your son's butt came out first... Ouch, it hurts so much."

"Eji, you shameless woman, you're still making fun of me at a time like this... Ouch."

"You're the slut, your whole family are sluts."

"Fine, now all that's left in my family is my husband, you and me, and our two unborn children. All five of us are worthless."

"Pah, I'll just say you're a slut."

"Pah! My husband heard it too. You called my whole family shameless..."

The room was in chaos. Angie and the others, who were guarding the door, initially saw the two ladies screaming in pain. Later, they noticed that the screaming had stopped and they had started cursing at each other. Moreover, their voices were becoming more and more powerful and sharp. It was clear that the two ladies were full of energy and could not possibly be dead. The tear stains on Angie and the others' faces slowly dried.

It has to be said that Gouzi is the best doctor in the world of Dahan. Not only is his knowledge incredibly vast, but his understanding of human anatomy also surpasses that of all other doctors.

After all, not every doctor has the opportunity to reach inside someone's body and study them carefully, and to study hundreds of people at once.

"Dog, help! The baby is coming out!"

“Catch him when he comes out. That’s your son. I’ll cut the umbilical cord.”

"What is this? Is it a child too?"

"Get lost, that's a placenta."

"The child is so slippery, I'm afraid to pull on, please help, I can't hold on..."

"That's vernix caseosa. Hold it, hold it, grab the baby's legs, yes, grab it with one hand, and then slap his bottom to make him cry, vomit amniotic fluid, and open his lungs."

Zhang Min's baby is due soon, and I'm very busy.

As Yun Ce gently slapped the child's bluish bottom, a baby's cry suddenly pierced Yun Ce's ears.

Yun Ce, who was usually indifferent to any sound, felt another electric current surge into his skull when he heard the baby's first cry. This current quickly penetrated his meridians and spread to his heels, making his whole body numb. He stood there motionless, and even the dog's barking seemed to be far away at that moment.

Eji did not faint or fall asleep. From the moment the child left her body, her eyes were only on Yun Ce and his son. The child was normal, with two legs, two arms, and a head. His features were small but neat. She could even see how delicate the little bird between the child's legs was.

"Hurry up, your mistress's baby is about to come out."

The dog finally pulled Yun Ce's soul back from the heavens. He quickly wiped the vernix caseosa off the child's body, wrapped the child in a soft swaddling cloth that he had prepared beforehand, and placed it next to E Ji's head.

“I’m watching the child, you go help Zhang Min.”

Eji looked at her son tenderly.

By the time Zhang Min's child was in Yun Ce's hands, he was already quite adept at handling it. He patted the child's bottom to make him vomit amniotic fluid, opened the lungs, wiped away the vernix caseosa, wrapped the child up like a candle, and placed it next to Zhang Min's head—all in one smooth motion.

After the dog finished dealing with the aftermath, it burrowed into the wristband and wouldn't come out.

Yun Ce opened the door, and An Ji and the others rushed in, splitting into two groups, each taking care of one woman.

Looking back at the two women who were completely immersed in the joy of becoming mothers for the first time, Yun Ce felt extremely heartbroken. He had countless things he wanted to say to others, and countless emotions were about to explode in his chest.

In the end, it turned into a hearty laugh that echoed in the courtyard for a long time.
