Chapter 81: Sacrifices
"Feed these war horses and take good care of them," Zhan Qi instructed the stable workers while handing over the remaining horse feed.
"Yes, General Zhan."
After settling the newly acquired war horses, Zhan Qi and his subordinates mounted their own war horses and rushed back to the west city wall.
Upon their return, Feng Xiyan smiled and said, "You did a good job, General Zhan. After we win this war, this general will heavily reward you and the soldiers."
Zhan Qi clasped his fists and replied, "This subordinate thanks the Great General on behalf of the soldiers."
He then grinned and added, "The success was all thanks to the horse feed bestowed by Fairy Bai. If not for the horse feed, it won’t be easy to steal that many war horses from the Yuezhi Tribe at once."
After saying that, Zhan Qi noticed that Xue Ruhong’s new archer team was ready with their longbows and asked, "Great General, what is your next plan?"
Feng Xiyan simply smiled and said, "Wait."
Since he didn’t elaborate further, Zhan Qi didn’t ask further. He stood beside him, silently observing the battle.
While Feng Xiyan and the Feng Army soldiers waited patiently, Kai Mu and the Yuezhi Tribe didn’t have that luxury.
Riding beside Kai Mu, his military advisor said, "Supreme General, if the rumors about Xiqiang City having food and water are true, we can’t afford to drag this war out any longer."
