With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, and Chen Qingwan's face changed suddenly.

Li Mu was the first to break the silence and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the enemy is coming with such force and force. With such a large-scale attack, I'm afraid they have discovered your identity."

Chen Qingwan's heart sank when she heard this, and she secretly clenched her fists.

This battle is crucial. If we fail, all our efforts will be in vain.

All the hard work will be in vain.

But she was not defeated by fear, instead she became more determined.

"Qiao'er,"

Her tone was calm and firm.

"Bring me the armor!"

The maid Qiao'er immediately took the order and left, and soon brought a set of shining armor.

In the flickering candlelight, the armor reflected a cold light, illuminating Chen Qingwan's resolute face.

Seeing this, Li Mu and Xiashanhu also stood up and prepared to go into battle.

Chen Qingwan quickly put on her armor, looking heroic, like a female warrior about to go to battle.

"Pass the order on," she said firmly.

"Mobilize all garrisons and rush to support Quxian and other counties immediately!"

"As ordered!"

Li Mu and Xiashanhu accepted the order in unison, turned around and strode out of the conference room.

Chen Qingwan looked at their departing backs, took a deep breath, and prayed silently in her heart:

"God bless Jingzhou, we will win this battle!"

The deafening sound of trumpets tore through the tranquility of the night, and the army set out.

It's like a giant black python, winding into the distance.

Chen Qingwan took the lead, her silver armor shining brightly in the light of the torches.

Behind him, Li Mu and Xiashanhu followed closely with firm eyes.

Tens of thousands of soldiers marched in unison, their morale high. They knew that this journey was dangerous.

But for the safety of Jingzhou, they were fearless.

Night fell upon the earth, and the roar of war drums was like a heartbeat.

One by one, it struck everyone's nerves.

Chen Qingwan rode on a warhorse, her eyes as sharp as torches, scanning everything around her.

The wind howled, bringing with it the faint sounds of fighting in the distance.

Time is running out and every minute and every second counts.

She walked side by side with Li Mu and Xiashanhu, discussing the next strategic deployment in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, Qu County is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the enemy gains the upper hand, we can use roundabout tactics to lure them deeper into our territory and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Li Mu pointed at the map and analyzed the situation between the enemy and us.

"The enemy is divided into three groups and is coming with great force. It is obvious that they are well prepared. We must be cautious and not underestimate them."

Xiashanhu added.

Chen Qingwan nodded slightly, her mind full of thoughts. What exactly was the enemy's intention?

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind them?

"Xiashanhu, you will lead the Tiger Head Army ahead to scout out the enemy situation. Be extremely cautious and report back immediately if you have any news."

Chen Qingwan gave the order decisively.

Xiashanhu took the order and left, leading the elite Tiger Head Army and disappearing into the night.

Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Qingwan led the army to continue advancing.

The sky gradually turned pale, and the outline of Qu County gradually became clear.

However, what appeared before their eyes was a shocking scene:

Outside Qu County, flames shot up into the sky, shouts of killing were deafening, and the enemy's attack was as fierce as a tide.

The defenders fought hard but were clearly at a disadvantage.

On the city wall, the flags of the Jingzhou army fluttered in the wind and rain, and looked like they would be swallowed up at any time.

"Damn it!"

Chen Qingwan cursed inwardly, anger rising in her heart.

Qu County must be supported as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"All troops, listen up and prepare for battle!"

Chen Qingwan drew her sword and shouted orders, her voice echoing across the battlefield.

The soldiers could no longer hold back and drew their weapons, ready to fight the enemy to the death.

On the top of the city wall, the enemy commander looked at the Jingzhou army that was coming in continuously and sneered.

"Humph, you've arrived just in time, let's catch them all in one fell swoop!"

He raised the sword in his hand and pointed it in the direction of Chen Qingwan.

"Kill me!"

Chen Qingwan's eyes were cold, and the tip of her sword pointed directly at the enemy.

"charge!"

At the command, the Yulin Army rushed towards Qu County.

The soldiers gripped their spears and swords tightly, and a cold murderous aura filled the air.

With the previous painful lesson, Chen Qingwan was extra cautious this time and thought it over again and again.

She decided not to let the army rush forward all at once, but wisely sent out a group of cavalry to explore the way first.

To ensure the safety of other teams' actions.

Qu County has a special terrain, and the city walls are dilapidated and look like paper.

It is easy to attack but difficult to defend, and the terrain is open and flat, making it most suitable for cavalry to give full play to its advantages.

Xiashanhu and Li Mu followed closely on both sides of Chen Qingwan, guarding her safety on the left and right.

Behind him, the elite soldiers of the Tiger Head Army and the Yulin Army followed closely.

Advance cautiously, keeping a sharp eye and vigilant in all directions.

The cavalry rushed into Qu County like arrows, but they had not run far.

Suddenly, there was a loud "thump thump" sound, and the war horses neighed and their limbs were scattered everywhere.

The scene suddenly fell into panic.

Chen Qingwan was shocked and thought to herself, "Oh no!" She immediately realized that this was a trap set by the enemy.

"what happened?"

Li Mu saw that the cavalry was in chaos and asked hurriedly.

"It's a horse trap! Damn it, they were prepared!"

Chen Qingwan clenched her teeth and her face turned ashen.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Xiashanhu asked anxiously. The enemy's cunning was beyond their expectations.

"Pass the order, the cavalry will retreat immediately and quickly switch to long-range attacks!"

Chen Qingwan acted decisively and gave the order.

"Archers prepare!"

Li Mu immediately conveyed the order.

"Fire arrows!"

With a command, a rain of arrows flew towards the enemy.

The enemy had obviously made careful preparations and used the complex terrain of Qu County to set traps, resulting in heavy losses in this cavalry charge.

Despite this, Chen Qingwan remained calm, frowned, and quickly thought of a way to break the current situation.

Although there are many horse traps, there is still a way out.

Chen Qingwan cheered herself up and gave orders loudly.

"Archers and catapults ready!"

Archers and catapults quickly entered the position, arrows poured down like a torrential rain, and huge rocks whistled towards the enemy position.

Afterwards, Chen Qingwan quickly ordered the infantry squad.

Have them equip themselves with shields and spears, proceed cautiously, and quickly clear the horse traps.

"Everyone be careful and stay alert!"

The infantry captain whispered.

A soldier looked around nervously.

"Captain, these horse traps are too cunning. Can we clean them up successfully?"

"No problem. As long as we advance cautiously, the enemy's scheme will be powerless."

The captain responded firmly.

The infantry formed a tight defensive formation, carefully explored the way with spears, and discovered and filled the horse traps one by one.

"There's a pit here, be careful not to fall in."

One veteran warned.

"Understood, we will pay attention." The young soldier nodded.
