Chapter 336: Battle between the Two Armies
After sitting down, Gu Chan couldn't help but say, "Ninth Prince, do you think these three brothers really have such a mind?"
"You three idiots, where do you get any brains from?" Xuanyuan Qing said disdainfully.
"Then why are you so polite to them and give them credit?" Gu Chan said unhappily.
Xuanyuan Qing looked at the torn tent and sighed, "What should we do? Do we have to punish Sima Wen and scold the three of them? The battle is imminent tomorrow. If you don't say good things about them now, but instead call them idiots, how can the soldiers have the confidence to fight with them tomorrow?"
"Oh, that's true." Gu Chan said with relief.
She did not deny that Xuanyuan Qing's consideration was correct.
If this matter is not handled properly tonight, it will definitely shake the morale of the army and will be detrimental to tomorrow's battle.
So no matter whether the appearance of the fake Gu Chan just now was really predicted by the three Tian Ying brothers or it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse, it is best to handle it in a low-key manner and not be too ostentatious.
After figuring this out, Gu Chan stopped worrying about it. "Okay, I'll turn a blind eye to this matter."
"Are you going to arrange for the mice to deliver the medicine again tonight?" Xuanyuan Qing asked, changing the subject.
Gu Chan shook her head.
Xuanyuan Qing asked in confusion, "You sent someone to prepare 500 kilograms of medicine, and there are still so many left. What are you going to do with them?"
"Once the enemy has been hit once, it will be difficult for them to be hit a second time, so it's useless to give them medicine tonight. My idea is that you can fight as you wish tomorrow. As for the remaining 450 kilograms of medicine, I have my own ideas." Gu Chan said with a mysterious smile.
Seeing that she was unwilling to tell the truth, Xuanyuan Qing stopped asking.
He ordered a general to go and repair the torn tent, and then he continued to lie down on the bed to rest.
Gu Chan also lay back on the mat on the ground and fell into a deep sleep peacefully.
Although we still failed to find the enemy spies in the camp tonight, after the incident of the fake Gu Chan, everyone became more alert.
Gu Chan believed that if the spy was smarter, he would not dare to act rashly. In this way, the spy would not dare to pass on information to the enemy easily, and they would have a chance to compete with the enemy.
The next morning.
Gu Chan woke up early before dawn, quietly left the central military tent, returned to his own camp, found a carrier pigeon, wrote a secret letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and quietly released it without attracting anyone's attention.
After doing all this, she went to have breakfast as if nothing had happened.
When it was daybreak and everyone was ready, she and Xuanyuan Qing broke camp and led the army towards the enemy camp ahead.
The enemy had also been prepared for the battle. Almost not long after the Tiancang army advanced, they also moved camp and advanced forward.
An hour later, the two armies met and a great battle broke out instantly. In an instant, the killing was so fierce that it was dark and chaotic.
Gu Chan has been traveling through time for so long, but this is the first time she has truly experienced a great war among the ancients. Fortunately, she did not lead the army into battle this time, but stayed behind with Xuanyuan Qing to command the battle.
Tian Ying and other generals all went to the battlefield to lead the troops to fight. In the intervals between commanding, Gu Chan looked at the wounded soldiers who were carried back one by one, and felt extremely melancholy.
In the past, when she was in modern times, she learned a line of poetry, which goes, "When a country prospers, the people suffer; when a country perishes, the people suffer."
She had never really understood the meaning of this word until now, when she saw the bloody scenes before her eyes, she finally understood the truth behind it.
The change between dynasties inevitably involves the death and injury of countless soldiers. Regardless of whether they win or lose in the end, the common people suffer the most! When she was at the border, she couldn't even eat meat or vegetables because of the war. She would just catch some caterpillars in the fields and fry them, which she thought were very fragrant and delicious.
Doesn’t this directly prove from the side that the people are actually the most miserable?
Thinking of all this, Gu Chan could only sigh in her heart. Finally, she could only put away her melancholy mood and lead people to rescue the injured soldiers and mysterious beasts.
On the other side, there is a mountain pass on the west side of Lianyin Mountain.
At this time, Cheng Yu was leading 200 cavalrymen to pack the powerful veterinary diarrhea medicine that had been developed in a hurry into bags.
After burning for several days, the wildfire gradually became smaller and posed no fatal harm to them.
Seeing that the final bagging work was almost completed, Cheng Yu hurried to Ma Zheng and said, "My task here is almost completed. What instructions does Deputy General Gu have next?"
"I don't know either! I just followed the boss's instructions and brought two guards and Mickey here to inform you to prepare the powder as soon as possible. The boss didn't say anything else, just asked us to wait for news." Ma Zheng said with his hands spread out.
"What should we do now? The battle between the two armies in the front should have already started. We can't just sit here and do nothing, right?" Cheng Yu said worriedly.
Ma Zheng was speechless. Under such circumstances, he didn't dare to act on his own without Gu Chan's instructions.
But just when the two were helpless, a cavalryman rushed over with a white carrier pigeon and said to Cheng Yu, "Miss Cheng, the deputy general's carrier pigeon has sent a letter."
"Open it quickly and see what the letter says." Cheng Yu urged.
The cavalry quickly took the letter off the pigeon's leg, opened it and looked at it, saying, "The deputy general asked us to take the remaining 450 kilograms of powerful animal diarrhea medicine and set off immediately, bypassing the enemy and sneaking to the border. We also need to put the medicine powder into all the water sources that the enemy can use at the border, and then let us hide in the large forest at the border, ready to serve as a surprise force to intercept the enemy's escape back to the Earth Moon Country at any time."
"Oh my God! Gu Chan, oh Gu Chan, why are you so confident? Do you really think that the 200,000 troops led by the Ninth Prince can really repel the enemy's more than 400,000 troops?" Cheng Yu exclaimed in amazement.
There is no doubt that Gu Chan's instructions this time were intended to cut off the enemy's retreat.
However, the biggest problem is that the two armies are still in a fierce battle and the outcome is still uncertain!
Ma Zheng was also worried and said, "Although the enemy was hit by the attack before, and 100,000 soldiers suffered from diarrhea, the problem is that the amount of medicine is too small. The enemy also has very strong military doctors, and they will definitely be able to develop an antidote to control the soldiers' diarrhea soon. In this way, our advantage will be reduced."
"Yes! Now the main forces of the two armies are engaged in a fierce battle. Why does she think that we can definitely repel the enemy?" Cheng Yu shouted.
"Sister Cheng Yu, don't worry about it. The boss must have his reasons for making such arrangements. We just need to act according to his instructions." Ma Zheng said in a firm tone.
Cheng Yu nodded helplessly.
After that, the two men said no more, and immediately led a team of 200 cavalrymen, tied up bags of powerful animal diarrhea medicine, left Lianyin Mountain, bypassed the enemy, and rushed to the border.
