Sang Jueqian nodded, "That's what I thought too. Since we've already anticipated this, let's have everyone be alert tonight and leave people on guard on all four sides of the city wall.
All night watchmen were given a musket and a night vision goggles.
Be sure to pay close attention to the situation outside the city. If you see anyone approaching, do not hesitate and shoot immediately."
Sun Er said with a worried look on his face, "The Goddess's method is good, but firearms are different from cannons. They are more difficult to use and have less power. They can only hit one person at a time.
If the accuracy is not enough, it is easy to miss the target.
Especially when the enemy is moving, and it’s night time, the visibility isn’t very good, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hit…”
"It would be great if we hit them. But even if we miss, it doesn't matter. As long as the gunshot goes off, and it goes off near them, it's telling them clearly that we've spotted them.
When they realized their whereabouts had been exposed, they naturally dared not move forward.
"We're not asking them to fire their guns to kill anyone, but just to give them a warning. Just spend the night peacefully."
Sun Er's face showed surprise and he nodded repeatedly, "The goddess has thought it through thoroughly. Don't worry, God, I will arrange it right away."
After saying that, Sun Er left in a hurry.
Sun Er had just left when the Thunder Beast came forward.
"goddess."
Hearing Lei Shou's words, Sang Jueqian turned around and looked at him, and saw that Lei Shou had a complicated expression.
Sang Jueqian raised his eyebrows, "General Lei, what's wrong? Is there something difficult?"
"No." Thunder Beast shook his head. "I just think... the goddess is really powerful. If she had helped us during the war, perhaps the Turks would not exist now. There would not be a situation like this where the Turkic army is at the gates of our city."
Sang Jueqian didn’t understand what Lei Beast wanted to express at first, but after listening to the latter part, he suddenly had some guesses in his mind.
"General Lei, you are not planning to attack the Turks directly after they withdraw, right?"
Upon hearing this, Thunder Beast looked at Sang Jueqian in surprise, "Lady Goddess is amazing. You've figured out what I was thinking just from these few words."
"It's not that I'm good, but you're too obvious."
Probably all generals have the same idea, which is to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop.
But when it comes to war, what you think in your mind is one thing and the reality is another.
"It's not that I don't support you, but defending a city and sending troops are two different things. Tingzhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so we can fight against the 50,000-strong Turkic army with so few people.
But if we take the initiative to start a war and go to the Turks to attack them, we will be like sheep delivered to their doorstep and will definitely be eaten up by them.
Although cannons are powerful, they are only suitable for staying in one place and attacking the enemy who are gathered together.
But when you arrive in the Turks, all you see is endless grassland. They don’t have any fixed cities, and all the people are extremely scattered.
If our people go there, they might not even know the directions, while they are familiar with the terrain and can scatter and flee, and they might even be able to encircle and surround us. It’s hard to say who will win then.”
Although these are not the countries that Sang Jueqian was familiar with in history, they are still reference points in history.
Why did Kangxi fail to defeat Galdan three times? Wasn’t it because of the reasons she just mentioned?
Lei Shou was originally full of confidence, but after hearing what Sang Jueqian said, he was stunned at first, and then looked ashamed.
"I've been studying military tactics since I was a child, and have always aspired to be a great general. I previously fought alongside the prince, and I thought I'd seen a lot and had certain ambitions. But after hearing the goddess' words, I realized how naive my thoughts were.
Please rest assured, Goddess, I will never have such naive thoughts again. I will never say anything like that again unless I am absolutely sure."
Sang Jueqian didn't want to discourage him too much. It was a good thing for a person to have his own ambitions.
"No one can predict what will happen in the future. There's no chance to send troops now, but maybe there will be one in the future. Just wait patiently!"
"Yes! Thank you for your teachings, Lady Goddess!" Thunder Beast said respectfully, then asked, "May I ask, Lady Goddess, now that the prince knows the situation here, does he have any instructions?"
Sang Jueqian, “…”
What instructions does Li Junyan have?
Of course, she didn't give any instructions, because she had been busy all day and hadn't yet informed Li Junyan of the situation.
Sang Jueqian touched his nose and said, "I haven't told him yet. It's still early and it's not completely dark yet. I'll go tell your prince first."
As he said that, Sang Jueqian hurried down the city wall and rushed to the Temple of the Goddess.
Lei Shou stood in place, looking at Sang Jueqian's back getting farther and farther away, feeling a little stunned and wanting to laugh.
So the goddess blushed just now because she was embarrassed?
…
Sang Jueqian hurried back to the Temple of the Goddess and returned to the grocery store through the window.
It's winter here, and it gets dark earlier.
There were no lights on in the grocery store, but through the curtains, one could faintly see the lights on the street outside.
The lights are bright, the crowds are bustling, and it is very lively.
Some shops were playing music, some were shouting, and people on the street were chatting and laughing.
You can even hear children screaming.
Sang Jueqian can hear these sounds every day.
She always felt it was a bit noisy before, but at this moment, listening to these chaotic sounds, Sang Jueqian felt extremely at ease.
