Two thousand men, plus a thousand reinforcements, make up a five-fold difference in strength against fifteen thousand.
Qiao Lian'er's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a chill run through her body.
"This means that not all the intelligence we received earlier was true."
Chu Zhuo also felt there were many suspicious points: "The intelligence was sent by our own people, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"There is only one possibility: the Kui Niu Kingdom was playing tricks from the beginning. They knew very well that we would not be able to ignore the advance of their troops and thus make an attack or defense. So they sent out false intelligence and lied about the number of invaders."
"This way, we'll be misled and send fewer people to fight, giving them a significant advantage."
"The fighting has already started, but the reinforcements haven't set off yet. I just sent someone on horseback to the garrison to urgently dispatch 8,000 more troops."
Chu Zhuo's aura was heavy: "When we met, we found out that the enemy camp had this many people. It is still unknown whether there will be a large number of reinforcements later."
"We can only hope that they can hold off the enemy forces until reinforcements arrive."
"I was originally going to the battlefield, but I stayed here to talk to you about this. Miss Qiao, I should go to the front lines now. You wait for news at the inn."
Chu Zhuo did not touch his breakfast.
Qiao Lian'er had no appetite for breakfast either: "Let's go together."
"No, you're just a little girl. You're weak in terms of fighting ability. To put it nicely, it's good that you have this intention and belief. To put it bluntly, you might be a burden to your uncles and brothers."
Chu Zhuo looked serious.
"There's war going on outside. You two, take good care of Miss Qiao."
He stood up and gave instructions to those around him.
"yes."
Qiao Lian'er: "..."
Is she being restricted in her freedom?
She's not a reckless person; she had her own reasons for making this decision.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er frowning, Chu Zhuo sighed: "Miss Qiao, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good. You are Rou'er's benefactor, and I can't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to her when I go back."
After all, a little girl would be trampled into a pile of minced meat on the battlefield very quickly.
After saying that, Chu Zhuo hurriedly went downstairs.
He regretted telling Qiao Lian'er these things, but then he thought that her brother and uncle were fighting hard on the battlefield and might be in danger at any time, so he shouldn't keep this from her.
He wanted her to be mentally prepared.
Outside, the sound of galloping hooves filled the air as Chu Zhuo led a group of men away.
Qiao Lian'er was restless.
She looked around the space; the crops were useless, the fruit was useless.
When her gaze fell upon the livestock farm and she saw a group of newly grown geese, each one large in size and with sharp beaks, Qiao Lian'er's eyes lit up.
However, the number is not large, only a little over a hundred.
Looking into the nest, each goose had laid twenty or thirty eggs. To increase production, she mainly kept female chickens, ducks, and geese, leaving only a few males for breeding.
Qiao Lian'er used gold coins to speed up the hatching process, and soon, goslings chirped and popped out of their shells, their fluffy plumage filling the entire livestock farm.
