The Second World in Ancient Times

The moment I rushed into the tent and saw the king was safe and sound, my heart relaxed a little, but the crisis still loomed over us like a dark cloud. Outside the tent, the enemy's shouts and cries were deafening, and they were waiting eagerly for the next opportunity to attack.

"Guards, listen up! Keep a close watch on the king and don't slack off in the slightest!" I gave the order loudly, my voice filled with unquestionable authority.

The guards responded in unison, quickly forming a solid human wall around the king. They held weapons in hand, their gazes fixed firmly on the outside of the tent. I stood before the king, observing the enemy's movements through the cracks in the tent, my mind racing as I pondered a strategy to defeat them.

"Your Majesty, there are many enemies, and their encirclement is very tight. How can we break out?" A guard asked worriedly.

I frowned slightly, my eyes still fixed on the outside, and said slowly, "Don't worry, we need to wait for the opportunity. They may outnumber us, but we are not completely without a chance of victory."

At this point, I recalled some of the combat techniques and tactical concepts I'd learned in modern times, and an idea gradually formed in my mind. I turned to the guards and said, "Brothers, when the enemy attacks later, don't just blindly fight. We can use some flexible tactics, such as forming pairs and coordinating them. One person can attack to distract the enemy while the other attacks from the side or rear. Just like modern fighting doubles tactics, we can leverage each other's strengths to disrupt the enemy's rhythm."

"Your Majesty, what kind of new fighting style is this? We have never heard of it before." The guards looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

"This is a tactical inspiration I came across by chance. You can try it and it will definitely catch your opponent by surprise." I explained patiently.

As he was speaking, the enemy launched a new round of attack. They surged in like a tide, their shouts and cries of killing shaking the earth.

"Everyone stay calm and act according to the tactics I just told you!" I shouted, and was the first to rush out of the tent to face the enemy.

A guard and I worked in perfect harmony. He brandished his long sword, feigning an all-out attack, while I, holding my flexible sword, used my agility to search behind him for weaknesses. When an enemy, drawn to the side by the guard's long sword, revealed an opening, I swooped in like a ghost, flicking my flexible sword and instantly slashing the enemy's arm.

"What kind of fighting style is this? So weird!" the enemy exclaimed.

"Hmph, this is what happens when you look down on us!" I snorted coldly and continued to fight alongside the guards.

During the battle, I noticed that the wind was blowing towards the enemy's food camp. A bold idea suddenly occurred to me.

"Afeng, take a few people with you and quietly go around to the enemy's food and grass camp and prepare to set fire." I whispered to Afeng.

"My queen, this... setting fire is a risky move. If we are discovered, they will definitely retaliate wildly." Afeng was a little hesitant.

"I know, but at this moment, the only way to break the deadlock is to use a surprise attack. Believe me and follow my plan." I looked at him firmly.

Afeng gritted his teeth, nodded, and quietly left with a few agile guards.

I continued to fight fiercely with the enemy, attracting their attention. I deliberately shouted loudly on the battlefield: "You rebels, you think you can trap us like this? Today is your end!"

The enemy, enraged by my words, attacked even more frantically. My guards and I, relying on our flexible tactics, repeatedly neutralized the enemy's attacks. Although we suffered casualties, we always held our ground.

Not long after, news came from Afeng that they had successfully approached the enemy's food camp.

"Ignite!" I watched the opportunity and gave the order loudly.

Instantly, flames erupted in the enemy's forage camp, and the wind carried the fire rapidly, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky. Seeing the forage camp on fire, the enemy immediately panicked.

"Oh no, the food is on fire!"

"What should I do?"

The enemy soldiers panicked and rushed towards the forage camp to try to put out the fire. The originally tight encirclement suddenly loosened.

"Your Majesty, now is a good time to fight back!" I turned and said to the king.

The king nodded, stood up, drew his sword, and shouted, "My fellow soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy and put down the rebellion!"

The king's voice was like a resounding bell, inspiring the morale of everyone present. The guards and the king's trusted aides responded, charging towards the enemy like tigers.

I also led the remaining guards and fought our way out of the weak point in the enemy's encirclement. We attacked from both inside and outside, catching the enemy off guard.

During the battle, I saw the prince standing not far away commanding the enemy. A surge of anger surged in my heart, and I decided to capture the king first.

"Afeng, come with me to deal with the prince!" I shouted.

Afeng and I rushed towards the prince. When the prince saw us coming, his face changed slightly, but he still pretended to be calm.

"Concubine Yu, do you think you can catch me?" The prince sneered.

"Your Highness, you are plotting treason and usurping the throne. Today is the day you die!" I responded angrily.

After that, Afeng and I engaged in a fierce fight with the prince's guards. I used all my strength, dancing the soft sword in my hand with impenetrable force. Afeng was also extremely brave, and wherever his long sword touched, the enemies fell one after another.

During the fierce confrontation, I seized an opportunity, rushed towards the prince, and pointed the soft sword at his throat.

"Don't move! Otherwise I will be rude!" I scolded.

The prince suddenly dared not move, and his guards also stopped, with expressions of horror on their faces.

"You... you dare to kill me? I am a prince!" said the prince in a trembling voice.

"The crime of treason is unforgivable!" I said coldly.

By this time, the king and his army had already annihilated most of the enemy, and the remaining enemies surrendered one after another. This fierce battle was finally turned around by our wisdom and courage.

However, the battle wasn't over yet. Although I had subdued the prince, some stubborn rebels still resisted. I knew that I had to completely eliminate these enemies to ensure the long-term stability of the palace.

"Afeng, take care of the prince for the time being, and we will go to help the king clean up the battlefield." I said to Afeng.

My guards and I quickly joined the king's camp and launched a final campaign against the remaining rebels. These rebels knew they had no way out, and each of them fought desperately, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Brothers, show no mercy. These rebels are trying to overthrow the imperial court. We must not let them succeed!" I shouted to encourage the soldiers.

I met a rebel soldier on a narrow road. He swung a mace at me. I dodged his attack, then wrapped my soft sword around the shaft of the mace, pulled hard, snatched his weapon away, and stabbed him in the chest, ending his life.

With our joint efforts, the remaining rebels were gradually eliminated. The battlefield was filled with the thick smell of gunpowder, and corpses and blood were everywhere, a tragic scene.

The king looked at me with admiration in his eyes, "Concubine Yu, I am so grateful to you for this. If it weren't for your wit and bravery, I would have been in great trouble today."

I knelt slightly and saluted. "Your Majesty, this is my duty. Protecting Your Majesty and guarding the palace is my duty."

"You are not only brave and resourceful, but you can also come up with such clever tactics in critical moments. I am truly impressed." The king continued.

"Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. I have only borrowed some of my thoughts and learnings from daily life. I feel deeply honored to be able to share your Majesty's worries." I responded humbly.

Although this battle was won, I know that the struggle within the palace will never stop. Although the rebellion of the Queen and the Prince has been quelled, the forces behind them still need to be further investigated to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

"Your Majesty, although the rebellion has been quelled, the conspiracy behind it has not yet been fully revealed. We still need to conduct an in-depth investigation and uncover all the accomplices to prevent future troubles." I advised the king.

"What Concubine Yu said is absolutely right. I will immediately arrange for people to investigate. You have made an indelible contribution to this incident. I will definitely reward you handsomely." said the king.

"Your Majesty, I do not ask for rewards. I only hope that the palace will be peaceful from now on and that Your Majesty will be in good health." I said sincerely.

In this fierce battle, I relied on modern knowledge and wisdom, as well as firm belief, to fight a desperate battle with the enemy, and finally successfully turned the tide of the battle and protected the safety of the king and the palace.
