Captain Qin thought that the general was in poor health and needed his protection.

It seems that the general trusts him the most.

In terms of combat prowess, no one else can match him.

Qin Xiaowei also had the resources.

However, compared to leading troops into battle, Gu Qian had to admit that Commandant Qin was brave but lacked strategy.

Ling Yun, Ling Zhi, and Liang Jie cannot replace their tasks.

Gu Qian's words left Ling Yun and the others completely bewildered, except for Ling Qi, of course.

They wanted to press for more information, but Gu Qian continued to give orders:

"Ling Yun and Ling Zhi, you two will lead the main force of our army, together with General Liang, and head south!"

"Yes!" Ling Yun and Ling Zhi clasped their hands in acceptance of the order.

Gu Qian: "Captain Yuan, hurry up and get ahead of Ling Yun and Ling Zhi. Remember, you must break through the encirclement from a fixed point and turn the enemy around."

When Gu Qian first thought of Yuan Xiaowei, he was the person who led the army.

"Understood!" After receiving the order, Captain Yuan quickly mounted his horse and began to move forward.

"Those behind, follow! Giddy up!"

He took the lead, and his subordinates followed suit on horseback.

Commander Yuan and his troops retreated with lightning speed, moving like shadows.

The swirling dust invigorated Captain Qin.

"General, let's retreat!"

Gu Qian nodded and boarded the military carriage, with Ling Qi accompanying him, sitting in the front seat.

Qin Xiaowei and Ling Yun and Ling Zhi's armies began to withdraw to the north and south respectively.

Captain Qin led the way, with Ling Qi following closely behind in his carriage.

Inside the carriage, Gu Qian relied on his hearing to judge the movements in the distance.

He thought to himself, "I must say, the enemy has played a very good game."

At this very moment, the enemy forces within a surrounding area were closely monitoring Dongjin's movements.

They noticed the clatter of hooves approaching from afar and looked on in surprise.

At first, they could only hear the sound of horses' hooves, but saw no one.

Gradually, the dark shadows in the distance drew closer.

Fearing Dongjin's gunpowder, the enemy did not approach, but instead waited quietly in the distance with rockets in hand.

As long as Dongjin's army gets close to them, the initiative will be in their hands.

Outside the entire encirclement,

The enemy troops are observing quietly.

The northern encirclement area

"They're here!"

"Archers, prepare!"

"..."

The enemy's rockets were ready, just waiting for the Dongjin army to take the bait.

As the Dongjin army drew closer and closer...

The enemy soldiers all stared intently.

"They stepped on explosives."

"They're finished."

"It's over..."

Just as Dongjin Army stepped on the explosive charge...

The enemy soldiers held their breath and focused their attention.

However, the gunpowder did not detonate.

The soldiers of Dongjin actually walked right through their trap.

"What happened?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

The expected explosion did not occur.

The enemy troops had no time to discuss it and began to implement the next step of their plan.

Their rockets were launched and aimed at the approaching Dongjin soldiers.

That's right, this is their second plan.

If the Dongjin army is fortunate enough to break through their trap,

A rain of rockets will fall from the sky.

At that time, won't the gunpowder in Dongjin extinguish itself?

The enemy saw that the soldiers of Dongjin had entered their firing range.

Swish, swish, swish—countless arrows rained down on the distance.

However, the expected scene did not happen.

The soldiers of Dongjin were one step ahead of the enemy, using their shields to block them.

The enemy's barrage of rockets did not ignite their explosive charges.

Because the explosive charges were all carried by the soldiers in the back row.

Gu Qian had already thought of this, and had made thorough plans for everything.

Captain Qin was at the forefront and quickly broke through the enemy's encirclement.
