Quick Wear: Saving the Heroine Isn’t Too Easy!

The next day, the generals gathered together to discuss the war.

"I plan to change our previous strategy of only defending and not attacking. We will take the initiative to attack and catch the enemy off guard."

Gu Xici's previous strategy of defending but not attacking could consume the enemy and minimize our losses. Defeating the enemy was only a matter of time.

Now Gu Xici doesn’t want to waste too much time and wants to change from defense to offense.

"Great, General. You should have done this a long time ago. I have long wanted to attack those Chu soldiers and let them see how powerful we are."

A big general with a full beard and pigtails said this.

"General, I support your idea."

The dark-skinned Lieutenant General Lin also echoed.

The person he admired most was the general, and he supported every decision made by the general.

"The general suddenly changed his strategy. Did something happen?"

A very, very, very pale-faced man asked with narrowed eyes.

"Military Advisor, do you think there is something wrong?"

Gu Xici looked at Li Yu, who was the military advisor and think tank of the Black Armor Army. Gu Xici still needed to consider the pros and cons before making a decision.

"I was just a little surprised by the general's sudden change of strategy. Yu didn't think it was inappropriate."

Li Yu looked at Gu Xici with a smile. In the past, General Gu insisted on the strategy of defending but not attacking.

With the general's ability, if he took the initiative to attack the Chu army, he would surely win a great victory. But if he did so, his achievements would be so great that the emperor would be wary of him.

It was really the emperor's presence that affected the general's edge. With his General Gu and his wisdom, he was unrivaled in the world.

Although the general's previous strategy of defending but not attacking would have led to victory by defeating the Chu army, it would not have aroused the emperor's suspicion because of his military achievements. What made the general change his strategy?

"Then let's discuss how to attack."

Gu Xici saw that the military advisor had no objection and spoke.

Of course Gu Xici knew what Li Yu was thinking of, but he had to return to Beijing early for the mission. If the emperor was suspicious of him, then he would let him be suspicious.

Anyway, she has already thought of a countermeasure. Before targeting the fifth prince Xiao Ren, she needs to find a shield, and the sixth prince is a good choice.

The Sixth Prince Xiao Yi and Gu Xici were very good friends when they were young, until Gu Xici came to Northern Frontier. And according to the original plot, the Sixth Prince's character and IQ are trustworthy.

"General, Yu has already thought of the best, middle and worst strategies. Which one do you want to hear?"

Li Yu looked at Gu Xici with a confident smile.

"It's best to just say it directly."

Gu Xici wanted to open the brains of those counselors and see if they could come up with the best strategy among the three options. Why didn’t they just come up with the best one? She also wanted to show off.

"The Chu army has been on the march for a long time. Judging from the current situation, they are running low on food and fodder. Moreover, they just suffered another defeat. They will definitely send people back to the city to ask for food and support."

Li Yu paused here.

"go on."

Don't pretend in front of me, otherwise you will not be a strategist but a soldier in the future. Just go and pretend on the battlefield.

"We can set up an ambush on the road ahead of time. The location of the ambush is Despair Peak."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, someone raised questions.

"How can we possibly reach the Despair Peak? The general can go up alone, but the other soldiers can't. Can we let the general ambush tens of thousands of Chu soldiers alone?"

A big general with a full beard and a horse face said.

"That's why the Chu army will never suspect that there is an ambush on Despair Peak. Everyone else thinks that no one can climb up, but I happen to know a small path that can lead to the mountain."

Li Yu paused and continued.

"We just need the general's help. When the time comes, the general only needs to set up the ropes according to the location Yu said, and the soldiers can go up. Then we can leave the food and reinforcements that the Chu army requested there."

Li Yu stopped talking here.

"go on."

Gu Xici had a blank expression on his face, and in his heart he had long wanted to throw this despicable strategist out.

"We will leave some people to guard the prisoners, and then put on the clothes of the Chu army and pretend to be the reinforcements of the Chu army, and capture the Chu soldiers and their commander in one fell swoop. However, the deputy general next to the Chu army commander is quite strong. To capture the Chu army commander alive, we need to send him away from the Chu army commander. Then the general will be responsible for killing the deputy general. By then, the Chu army commander will be captured, the commander and the deputy general will be dead, and the Chu army will have no choice but to surrender without the main force."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he looked at Gu Xici in a contemptuous manner.

Gu Xici motioned for him to continue, as she was afraid that she would burst out swearing while talking.

"Most of the Chu soldiers have been captured by us, so the city must be empty. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the victory and pursue the Chu State's Jiayu Pass. After Jiayu Pass is captured, I believe that under the wise and brave leadership of the general, the two cities connected to it can be successfully captured without any effort."

After saying this, Li Yu touched his non-existent beard. After realizing that he had no beard, he naturally put his hand down with embarrassment.

"Then follow what the military advisor says."

No wonder those commanders prefer counselors to generals. They are not only smart but also like to flatter.

Under her wise and brave leadership, how could we not win?

Three days have passed. Gu Xici had already set up an ambush with his men and was now just waiting for the dumpling filling to be delivered.

The Chu soldiers appeared in sight, and Gu Xici gestured to the soldiers to get ready.

Three, two, one.

"push!"

Countless rocks rolled down from the mountain, blocking the way in and out. The Chu army was caught off guard by the ambush, and they could not have imagined that the Zhou army, which had only defended but not attacked before, would penetrate deep into the Chu state and ambush here.

"Listen up, soldiers of Chu at the foot of the mountain. Put down your weapons, put your hands on your heads, and squat down in the open space one by one. Otherwise, our archers and stone pushers will not show mercy."

Lieutenant General Lin was standing on the mountain and shouting, and he was surrounded by archers and slingers.

"Asshole, we will not surrender."

The leader of the Chu army looked at Lieutenant General Lin and roared angrily.

"If you don't surrender, you will die. Your retreat is blocked and you have nowhere to escape. Think about it, it was you, the Chu State, who attacked us first. You are the invaders, not the army of justice. Surrendering is nothing big. We will not kill you after you surrender. As long as the Chu State surrenders, we will let you go."

"Humph, we Chu people will never surrender!"

The leader of the Chu army was preparing to fight to the death when Gu Xici shot an arrow at him and he fell to the ground on the spot.

"Who still refuses to surrender? Stand out! I, Gu Xici, will take you home. Please stand over there to accept your surrender. Hurry up, or I will kill you all."

As soon as Gu Xici started to speak, the Chu soldiers immediately panicked.

"Yes... yes... it's the White-Faced King of Hell."

"Run away~"

"I surrender, don't kill me!"

The Chu army's main general was dead, and the other soldiers were afraid of Gu Xici's reputation as the White-faced King of Hell. They had nowhere to escape, so they could only lay down their weapons and surrender.

"The black armor is always here, and I will never leave!"

"The black armor is always here, and I will never leave!"

"The black armor is always here, and I will never leave!"

When the black-armored soldiers saw that the Chu army was frightened into surrendering by Gu Xici, they all shouted.

Gu Xici stared blankly at the soldiers dealing with the prisoners.

The White-Faced King of Hell?

Gu Xici turned his head and glanced at Lieutenant General Lin, who was as black as coal, and thought of the military advisor Li Yu, who had an unhealthy pale face, a big general with a cow-horn braid, and a big general with a horse face.

But is the title of White-faced King of Hell really that powerful? He turned his head and looked at a prisoner. The prisoner noticed that Gu Xici was looking at him, and regardless of the ropes tied on his hands, he rolled and crawled to hide among the other prisoners.

"Um~ Xiaolinzi, come here."

"General, what's the matter?"

When Lieutenant General Lin heard Gu Xici calling him, he ran over happily.

"After resting and adjusting, reunite with the military advisor, and leave some people behind to escort these prisoners back to the city."

"Okay, General, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Lieutenant General Lin handed the kettle to Gu Xici and looked at her as if asking for credit.

"Well, go and do your work."

Gu Xici took the kettle and sent the person away without feeling guilty at all.
