It was His Highness's appearance that attracted Gu Qian's attention.
His Highness tried his best to save him, but unknowingly, he fell into Gu Qian's trap.
Then, a sudden downpour began, accompanied by lightning and thunder. His Highness was driven to the brink of despair and, by sheer will, tumbled down the hillside with the mudslide, where he was buried alive.
Gu Qian's men couldn't find His Highness, which is why he survived by sheer luck.
Border,
Although today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is no festive atmosphere at all in the entire military camp. All that can be seen are the generals guarding the city and rows of empty tents.
The army's commander-in-chief, Gu Qian, and Captain Qin, among others, are currently at the front lines, fighting a bloody battle against the enemy.
This time, Qi general Chu Sheng, the third son of the Chu family, volunteered to go to the battlefield again in order to avenge his two older brothers.
He continued to appoint the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled as vanguards, letting them lead the charge.
Their main force is always ready, waiting in ambush.
Because of their previous experience, they were afraid of the unidentified weapons and cannons in Gu Qian's hands.
However, as soon as the old, weak, sick, and disabled went into battle, they were killed by a hail of arrows from the soldiers of Dongjin.
Now, the main forces of the two armies are engaged in battle.
Outnumbered and outgunned, Commandant Qin felt uneasy.
In the chaos of battle, he rushed to Gu Qian.
"General, let's retreat." Captain Qin said as he slashed at the surrounding enemy soldiers with his spear.
"Do you expect me to be a coward?" Gu Qian's target was the enemy general, Chu Sheng, ready to strike and kill him instantly.
At this moment, Chu Sheng was also full of momentum, ready to compete with Gu Qian.
This person is even more formidable than Chu Tian and Chu Huai.
Captain Qin shook his head.
"That's not what I meant. The enemy's numbers are too large. If we continue fighting, we'll fall into their trap. The enemy has two million men, and we... General, let's retreat. Our gunpowder can't kill that many people."
If the enemy force only numbers a few hundred thousand, they will still have enough gunpowder.
They tried to use gunpowder to drive back the enemy, but all that died were cannon fodder.
"Who said the enemy's numbers are close to two million?"
Qin Feng is a very clever man.
"But Chu Sheng himself said..."
"They have already suffered heavy losses."
"Those are all old, weak, and disabled soldiers. Even so, they have the backing of various nations, and we are outnumbered. It would be better to stick to the original plan and go first..."
Commandant Qin couldn't understand why the general had suddenly changed his mind and wanted to risk a battle just before the fight.
Previously, they had clearly agreed that a portion of their elite troops would hold the city firmly, while the rest would use feints and divert the enemy's attention.
In this way, even if a steady approach cannot guarantee victory, at least it will not result in defeat.
The battle plan was the result of their hard work and several days of brainstorming, but the general changed it at the drop of a hat.
The general was always composed, but this order infuriated Commandant Qin.
He felt that the general's actions this time were somewhat immature.
Gu Qian: "Times have changed. Don't worry, Captain Qin, we will win this battle!"
"Gu Qian, you have murdered two of my brothers. My Chu family will never forgive you! Prepare to die!"
At that moment, Chu Sheng's voice rang in my ears.
Qin, the captain, glared fiercely, raised his spear, and swung it straight at Chu Sheng's face.
"You arrogant brat, take this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Sheng's personal guards rushed to his side, blocking Qin Xiaowei's spear.
