Everyone in the room quickly stood up to greet him.
"Husband!" Seeing her husband appear intact in front of her, Yun Shi was very excited and her face was full of joy.
"Father!" Wei Yichen, Wei Qingwan, and others gathered around Wei Mingting, watching him carefully.
"A great victory! We beat those Pirates at sea to the point that they were fleeing! Now, not a single one of their ships can be seen in the sea!" Wei Mingting said with a face full of joy.
He was busy with official duties on weekdays. When preparations for this large-scale battle began, he stopped going home and devoted himself to preparations, working day and night to advance and retreat with the soldiers.
Now that the war had been won, he rushed back to tell his family the good news as soon as possible, to ease the worries of his family.
"A great victory? Really?" Yun Shi was overjoyed.
The faces in the room were filled with expressions of immense joy, and Wei Ruo was no exception.
At this moment, the dark clouds that had been shrouding the Colonel's Mansion for many days completely dissipated, and moonlight could be seen after the clouds were cleared!
Subsequently, everyone gathered around Wei Mingting and sat down in their seats.
The maids hurriedly brought tea and pastries.
After briefly saying a few words to his children, Wei Mingting asked them to return back. It was already late today, and Wei Mingting had just finished a several day long battle and needed to rest.
Everyone left one after another.
The next morning, Wei Yichen, Wei Ruo, Wei Qingwan, and Wei Yilin arrived early at Cangyun Garden.
Normally, breakfast at home was served separately, but today was different, everyone wanted to know more about the battle.
After waiting for a while, Cuiping came out and invited everyone into the room.
Upon entering, they saw that Wei Mingting had already gotten up, dressed in plain clothes and looking fresh.
Wei Mingting asked everyone to sit down and have breakfast together.
On the big round table in front of them, there was porridge, deep-fried dough sticks, pickles and steamed dumplings, which were the usual breakfast for people in Taizhou Prefecture.
After finishing breakfast, the servants removed the leftovers from the table.
Everyone sat aside, and Wei Mingting knew that the children came early in the morning because they were worried about him, and also wanted to know what had happened in the past few days.
"There are two people to thank for this great victory." Wei Mingting, who had never said much, said more words today.
"Who are the people that husband is talking about?" Yun Shi asked hurriedly.
Everyone looked at him with curiosity.
“The first one is that nobleman, and the reinforcements sent by the court are closely related to him. This time he also arranged the raid, which circled from Wangyue Mountain and directly attacked the center of the Pirates army, disrupting their formation.”
Everyone knew about this, so it wasn't surprising.
"And the second one?" Yun Shi asked.
"The second one is something we all didn't expect. A few days ago, the city was recruiting soldiers. A young soldier was recruited and brought us a powerful weapon. This weapon is a crossbow but not like the ordinary one we knew.
It can fire ten arrows at once, and after firing, you can replace them with another one. It is very efficient and greatly improves our firepower."
"Before this battle began, we gathered all the craftsmen in the city and worked overnight to produce a large number of mechanical crossbows, so we can use them in the battle."
"This is a great blessing for husband and the people of Xingshan County! What kind of skilled craftsman is that young soldier? How could he build such a powerful weapon?" Yun Shi curiously pursued the question.
"Husband!" Seeing her husband appear intact in front of her, Yun Shi was very excited and her face was full of joy.
