"retreat!"
At General Guan's command, the soldiers retreated quickly.
These days, General Guan led his group of fierce and powerful troops to attack Plague City almost every day.
But every time I came back empty-handed.
Every time, they were unable to get close to the plague city because of the grenades, cannons and other things. The previous siege plans were completely ineffective when facing the plague city.
After all, gunpowder is too powerful!
This time, General Guan led his soldiers around a mountain and ambushed them, intending to launch an attack from another gate of the Plague City under the cover of night.
This time, they were defeated completely.
They originally thought that the terrain of the mountain forest was steep, and with the help of the trees on the mountain, the princess's weapons would not be able to hit them.
But when the soldiers from Plague City entered the forest, they seemed to have become the monkey kings of the mountains. In the battle in the forest, the imperial soldiers could only retreat in defeat.
The imperial soldiers, who were originally brave and good at fighting on the plains, were immediately ambushed when they reached the mountains and forests, and their formation was completely disorganized, and even the command was in chaos.
After General Guan led his soldiers to retreat, Zhou Qichen and his soldiers did not pursue them.
After the imperial army returned to its base, General Guan asked the soldiers above the rank of colonel to conduct a tactical analysis.
"General, today's battle was really unexpected for us. Before this, the soldiers of Plague City had to use cannons and grenades to stop us if they wanted to compete with us. But in today's battle, they didn't even use gunpowder, and we were defeated. It's incredible!" said a general.
"I don't know what the hell is painted on that face. It blends in with the color of the trees. Hidden in the forest, even ghosts can't tell it apart."
"The clothes he's wearing are weird, and the traps are so interconnected! It's infuriating!"
"It must be the battles these days that have made them treat us as training targets. Every time they are about to lose, they hide in the Plague City, and we can't chase them because of the gunpowder. This battle, we are the one who trained them." Another general gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh in regret.
"Actually, we can't say that. We can only say that our lineup is flawed in mountain and forest combat, and they are good at mountain and forest combat. Plague City is backed by mountains, and they may have been training soldiers in the mountains, so they can use their troops like gods in the mountains. In this battle, we used our weaknesses to hit their strengths." Another general analyzed.
The words fell.
There was a lot of sighing.
I originally thought that gunpowder would be difficult to deal with.
I didn’t expect the next one to be even harder.
Zhou Qichen had brought a group of female doctors to treat the patients before, so they had some friendship with him. He couldn't bear to just kill them without caring about their lives.
The deputy commander said to General Guan worriedly, "Commander-in-chief, we originally thought it would only take three days to recapture Plague City, but we didn't expect that Plague City has been developed to this extent by the princess."
"We've already wasted half a month in Plague City. If we don't return to the border quickly, I'm afraid the Huns will notice us."
"If the Xiongnu march south, the consequences will be far more serious than this plague city. Internal strife at least takes the people into consideration, but external strife will kill the entire city."
"When that happens, it will be the people of the Central Plains who will suffer."
After he finished speaking, someone else said:
"But the Emperor has not allowed us to go back. If we go back, we will be disobeying his order."
"A general is not bound by his sovereign's orders when on the battlefield!"
"But the Emperor is the ruler of the world..."
The crowd quickly split into two teams and had a fierce argument. One team advocated going back to guard the border town, while the other team advocated waiting for the emperor's order.
Finally, General Guan slammed the table and decided to split the troops into two groups.
After being away from the border town for so long, it is impossible not to go back. Only some soldiers can go back to create the illusion to the Huns that the army has not moved.
The other half of the soldiers could only fight a protracted war here and wait for the court to send more troops to support them.

A few days later, he received a call from Cheng Yuanyuan, saying that she had finished filming her scenes and asked if Gu Sang had time to go with her to the anchor friend's house.
On Sunday, Cheng Yuanyuan rented a car to pick up Gu Sang.
Then, I drove to the home of the anchor friend.
It was almost noon when the two arrived at the anchor's friend's house.
The host’s friend’s home is a two-story building with a small courtyard surrounded by a wall in front.
The pink Lonza Gem Rose crawled out from inside and bloomed bright and beautiful flowers on the wall, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of roses.
The two parked the car outside, went down and knocked on the door, and Gu Sang asked the system to turn on the live broadcast.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, someone came out to open the door.
The moment this person was captured by the camera, the people of the capital, Pei Changying, the ministers, the Zhao family of Plague City, the eldest princess and others all had their pupils shrank in shock.
Pei Changying was so frightened that he stood up and his face turned pale.
Zhao Ronghua!!!
"Busy man, you finally have time to come and see me."
"Hi, you must be Gu Sang, welcome. I've seen your skit Queen before and I think your acting is amazing. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."
She spoke softly, as if the spring breeze was blowing on people's faces, making them feel comfortable. After saying a word to Cheng Yuanyuan, she immediately turned around and started talking to Gu Sang.
The Zhao family's parents, who were staying in the Plague City, immediately recognized that this person was not their daughter before the girl opened her mouth.
Their daughter would never speak so gently, her words were as gentle as running water that trickles into the heart, and her brows were filled with the confidence that life would be peaceful.
"She is 80% similar to my daughter. When I see her, I feel like I see my own Ronghua."
"If Rong Hua were alive in the future, his smile would surely be as bright as hers."
After hearing what Zhao's father said, Zhao's mother comforted him, saying, "The goddess said that Ronghua will live in the afterlife after reincarnation."
"Master, Ronghua will definitely be very happy in the future. Maybe he will be able to speak so gently like this girl, and be so free and live the life he wants."
Not to mention that the Zhao family was alarmed.
Even the imperial palace was shaken.
The palace maids guarding Xuyang Palace were so scared that they shouted that Concubine Zhao was back. This shout alarmed all the concubines and the queen in the palace.
Gu Qingrou and many other concubines didn't care about any orders and mustered up their courage to rush into Xuyang Palace.
Everyone stared at the screen in shock and astonishment.
They were wondering, could it be that Sister Zhao really went to the afterlife?
It was not until they heard this person who looked very similar to Sister Zhao say her name that they realized they had recognized the wrong person.
"To think there's someone in this world who looks so much like Sister Zhao, I wonder what the Emperor's expression would be when he sees her."
"They are so similar. Apart from their personality and temperament, their looks are almost indistinguishable from the real thing."
"Wow... I'm so envious, sister. Look at the happiness in her eyes. It's real. She's really doing well."
"Your Majesty, seeing someone who looks so much like Sister Zhao, would surely be very pleased, right?"
