One million soldiers, what does that mean?
Their soldiers, in total, only account for 20% of the Northern Qi army's strength, meaning that Dongjin now has only 500,000 men.
Although Gu Qian did not know how the Northern Qi emperor could gather a large number of soldiers in such a short time, he believed that he would win this war.
The quality of an army is more important than its quantity.
"General, the situation is critical, why aren't you worried at all?" Captain Qin was getting restless. If it weren't for his conscience, he would have packed up and fled overnight.
Many of the people living on the border have already fled to the city.
"If being anxious were useful, neither of us would need to be sitting here analyzing the enemy's situation," Gu Qian said calmly.
After saying this, he looked at the tent entrance: "Ling Yun and Ling Zhi, you two will each lead two thousand soldiers to meet the main force of Northern Qi. Remember, after luring them in, retreat immediately."
"Yes." The two men clasped their hands in acceptance and quickly carried out the order.
Gu Qian also left the camp and went to the city tower.
With Commandant Qin by his side and Gu Qian around, he felt at ease.
In the days when Gu Qian was away, he was restless and unable to sit or lie still.
As for Ling Qi and Ling Ba, they have been demoted by Gu Qian for repeatedly disobeying his orders.
The two dared not disobey Gu Qian's punishment.
If Qiu Yan hadn't insisted, they wouldn't have returned to the military camp together.
It was Qiu Yan who insisted that they come, and Qiu Yan also brought the general so many muskets.
Why, after so many days, does the general still refuse to forgive them?
Well then, judging from the general's expression, it seems he will never reuse them again in this lifetime.
They are no longer high-ranking deputy generals, but rather small captains.
At this moment, the two were leading a group of new recruits, training them in moves and sharpening their skills before battle.
Qiu Dayu and his two brothers, Zhao Chuan and Zhao Yi, suffered terribly from the abuse.
Ling Qi usually seems carefree and easygoing, but when she scolds someone, she shows no mercy.
And Ling Ba, needless to say.
He was usually very strict and meticulous, and the soldiers would avoid him from afar.
On the city wall, Gu Qian lowered his eyes and looked down at the calm surrounding area.
"father."
Suddenly a scream was heard, and a woman dressed as a man slowly approached.
Upon seeing Gu Qian, her originally bright smile turned somewhat serious.
She leaned forward, "General Gu."
Although Gu Qian was surprised by the sudden appearance of this woman, he remained indifferent and expressionless.
"Why are you here?" Captain Qin looked at his daughter, who seemed so strange, his mind full of questions.
Her daughter just got married last year.
How can you leave your husband to his own devices at home like this?
"I'm worried about you." Qin Susu's cherry-like lips and rosy face were captivating. Even dressed as a man, she couldn't hide her feminine charm.
"Nonsense!"
General Qin shouted sternly, "Where is this place? This is no place for you!"
"I don't want to stay at home."
"You've only just gotten married..."
"Father, I've only just arrived, and you're already scolding your daughter like this?" Qin Susu interrupted her father.
As she spoke, she glanced cautiously at Gu Qian.
She came because she was worried about her father, and also because she had a conflict with her husband.
What angered her was that her own mother actually sided with her husband.
“Miss Qin, are you aware that this is a military camp, a place of great importance, and women are not allowed to linger here?” Gu Qian finally spoke.
"General Gu..." Qin Susu's face flushed slightly, "I won't stay any longer. I will leave in a month."
