His words brought a smile to everyone's faces.
We're almost there!
Qiu Yan looked towards the direction of Qidu from afar.
The closer she got, the more uneasy she felt.
"Keep going!" she shouted, raising her whip and continuing on her way.
Another day passed, early morning, on the outskirts of Qi capital,
Gu Qian slowly stood up and listened to the sounds beside him.
He could only hear the even breathing of the person beside him.
He asked:
"Has another day passed?"
"Hmm." Ling Qi nodded, her face looking dejected.
This despondency was not due to the war, but because of the general.
"General, everything has been taken care of. We are just waiting for your order. When shall we withdraw our troops?"
Ling Qi knew that the general had to go back.
The general's injuries showed no signs of healing, and it was becoming a major worry for him.
The old military doctor said that it was a miracle that the general was still alive.
In Ling Qi's view, even if the enemy really attacked, Dongjin would not be afraid.
On the contrary, they were really looking forward to it.
The reason is that Captain Yuan brought a lot of gunpowder with him this time.
That's right, the enemy has been playing hide-and-seek with them, giving them a headache.
The enemy never attacks head-on; they only engage in small-scale maneuvers from behind.
For example, suddenly dropping a barrage of explosives, or unleashing a volley of arrows... and so on.
Anyway, they're going to keep them at bay.
That's right, they just want to wear Gu Qian down.
Once the supplies run out, let's see how long Dongjin can hold out.
In fact, the soldiers of Dongjin were also running out of food supplies.
Gu Qian hesitated to act because he feared the other party might be plotting something.
He didn't know how much gunpowder the other side had.
Now, after their insidious tactics, the enemy has gone missing.
The enemy is still luring the enemy out of their hiding place, and this time...
They will definitely take action!
"General, everything is ready." Not hearing a reply from the general, Ling Qi continued.
"Okay." Gu Qian nodded.
"Pass down the order: have Ling Yun and Ling Zhi assemble their troops and withdraw immediately!"
Gu Qian had been waiting for a long time and didn't want to wait any longer.
"We will send Qin and Yuan, each leading their own troops, to withdraw forty li and be ready to counter-encircle the enemy at any time."
Gu Qian was blind in his eyes, but not in his heart.
Ling Qi found the general's words very pleasing to the ear.
"I'll take care of it right away!"
Ling Qi quickly ran out of the main tent, found Ling Yunqin and the others, and began to inform them to reorganize their military situation and prepare for retreat.
Ling Qi had just left the tent when Qiu Dayu entered.
He stared at Gu Qian's eyes for a moment, then lowered his gaze.
"General, are you... are you feeling better?"
These days, he thinks about visiting Gu Qian every day.
However, his identity was an obstacle.
"Much better." Gu Qian recognized Qiu Dayu's voice and couldn't help but think of his Yan Yan, so his voice became gentle.
"If there's nothing else, hurry back to your unit. The army is setting off immediately!"
"General." Qiu Dayu had naturally overheard Gu Qian and Ling Qi's conversation.
He paused, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"It would be inappropriate to break camp at this time."
"Tell me, what's wrong with it?" Gu Qian became more interested because of Qiu Dayu's words.
He wanted to hear what insights this eccentric uncle had.
"Once we break camp, the enemy will surely attack."
Gu Qian: "Why?" He thought to himself, Qiu Dayu is quite clever.
"Last night, around 1 AM, I discovered that the enemy had ambushes within a radius of thirty li."
"I also found this." Qiu Dayu said, handing a fuse to Gu Qian.
"The enemy wants to wipe us out in one fell swoop."
After he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was somewhat inappropriate, and he awkwardly stepped back.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qian's face darkened: "After you go back, you will receive ten strokes of the military rod!"
