Wherever Captain Qin's spear went, the surrounding enemy soldiers all had their throats slit.
The enemy troops were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
Qin Xiaowei was a big, burly man with immense strength, and his martial arts skills were not just for show.
In an instant, he was caught in a fierce battle.
Gu Qian curled his lips.
The current situation is that they have turned the tables and taken the initiative.
The enemy is going to fight a tough battle, and the only way for them to outwit them is to fight back.
If we continue as before and remain steadfast in our position, that is not feasible.
He brandished his longsword, silently counting:
"one two three……"
"Kill..." Suddenly, a vast army descended from the sky.
Qin Xiaowei's face grew increasingly flustered, and his heart sank completely.
He came to Gu Qian's side once again:
"Oh no, now their numbers really have reached two million..."
Gu Qian raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
Seeing Gu Qian's relaxed expression, Captain Qin was furious. "What kind of time is this? How can you still be laughing?"
He was extremely anxious, brandishing his spear while repeating his earlier words, "General, retreat quickly."
If they didn't retreat soon, he would start to suspect that the general was in cahoots with the Northern Qi and was deliberately sending the soldiers to their deaths.
Gu Qian spoke slowly and deliberately, showing no sign of worry whatsoever: "Captain Qin, is it too late to retreat now?"
"It's...too late." Captain Qin watched helplessly as the distant army drew ever closer...
They weren't given any time to evacuate.
"I told you to leave long ago, but you wouldn't listen."
Now, they're completely finished.
Gu Qian: "If we had withdrawn long ago, would we have drawn their main force?"
"Um?"
Is the general out of his mind?
Since he was going to die either way, Captain Qin decided to go all out.
New recruits Xia Minhan, Qiu Dayu, and others are also fighting bravely against the enemy.
Xia Minhan only met Qiu Dayu and others after she came to the military camp.
Upon learning that Qiu Dayu and the others were from Lingnan Village, Xia Minhan mentioned her cousin. Only after asking did she realize that she and Qiu Dayu shared a common relative, which naturally led to more conversation.
At this moment, they went to the battlefield together and fought a bloody battle.
It would be a lie to say they weren't afraid during their first match.
But at this moment, on the battlefield, no one was so afraid anymore.
They joined forces to fight the enemy.
The soldiers, despite being covered in wounds, did not back down.
Seeing the foreign troops join the fray, Qiu Dayu, while blocking the incoming attacks, kept an eye on his brothers beside him, Zhao Chuan and Zhao Yi, among others.
Zhao Chuan had a bitter expression on his face; his body was covered in numerous wounds, large and small.
But at this moment, his inner fear overcame his physical pain.
"It's over, the enemy has sent reinforcements."
Qiu Dayu stepped forward and blocked an attack for him, his spear piercing the enemy soldier's chest. He and Zhao Chuan stood back to back.
"not necessarily."
Having fought his way to this point, Xia Minhan asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Qiu Dayu: "I believe him."
He's a smart man; to anyone with eyes to see, he clearly won't win this battle.
But this was Gu Qian's decision.
Qiu Dayu's actions can be considered blind trust.
Commandant Qin went berserk, repeatedly slashing at the enemy soldiers' necks, his face turning bloodshot.
"Soldiers, fight them to the death!"
"Let's fight! Hahaha, soldiers, kill! Whoever captures Gu Qian alive will be richly rewarded!" Chu Sheng was extremely excited and somewhat carried away with his pride.
Gu Qian is brave but lacks strategy; he only knows how to show off his strength and is eager for quick success and profit.
He thought that by killing some of his old, weak, and disabled soldiers, his military strength would be equal.
He was not as clever as the captain beside him.
Their captain was self-aware.
