I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian

Baona stood in the center of the military tent, her eyes sharp as torches, listening quietly to the movements around her.

Inside the tent, the flickering candlelight made her figure look slender and added a touch of majesty.

There was a sense of tension and oppression in the air, and the generals' expressions were serious, as if they were ready to face the coming storm at any time.

The Liangqiu military instructor paced back and forth, his brow furrowed. He spoke in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the East Gate Tribe's attack is imminent. Our soldiers are not fully prepared. Right now, we must defend ourselves and wait for them to tire themselves out."

Zuoqiu military strategist stood on the other side of the tent, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.

He spoke slowly, his tone firm, "Your Majesty, defense is certainly important, but if we simply passively take the attack, we will ultimately be on the defensive. Only by proactively attacking can we disrupt the enemy's formation and seize the initiative on the battlefield."

The two of them each held their own opinion and the argument continued.

Baona listened quietly, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

She knew that this was a decision concerning the life and death of the kingdom, and every step had to be cautious and firm.

Outside the tent, the evening breeze blew, bringing a cool breeze.

Baona took a deep breath and smelled the smell of earth and a faint smell of blood in the air.

But at this moment, we cannot lose our composure because of internal strife.

I decided to implement a tactic combining both offense and defense.

"

Liang Qiu and Zuo Qiu looked at each other, both showing a hint of surprise.

Liang Qiu frowned slightly, but then nodded: "Your Majesty is wise. I am willing to obey your orders."

Zuo Qiu smiled appreciatively and bowed, "Your Majesty is truly wise. I am willing to fight alongside you."

Baona nodded and turned to look outside the tent. The lights in the distance were dim, as if they were a signal that the enemy was closing in.

She said to herself: No matter it is a trap or a challenge, I will face it head-on and protect this land and my people.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the tent, and the guard's voice was urgent and nervous: "Your Majesty, the envoy from the East Gate Tribe has arrived!"

Baona took a deep breath, her eyes determined, and slowly raised her hand: "Bring him in."

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and a tall man walked into the tent with a look of provocation and arrogance in his eyes.

Baona stepped forward and said calmly, "Messenger from the Dongmen tribe, what brings you here?"

The man sneered and said, "I am an envoy from the Dongmen Tribe. My leader, Dongmen Kui, wishes to speak directly with Her Majesty the Queen to discuss some important matters."

Baona smiled slightly and had an idea in mind.

She nodded slightly, her tone calm and firm: "Okay, I'm willing to see him."

Outside the tent, the night deepened and the stars twinkled, as if telling of the impending storm.

Baona stepped out of the tent, secretly thinking of a countermeasure in her heart.

She knew that this game had just begun, and she was already prepared.

Baona's decision was like a ray of morning light, dispelling the haze in the tent.

She didn't get bogged down in either pure defense or pure offense, but deftly blended the two.

She elaborated on her tactics in detail: first, use a small group of elite troops to harass the enemy, disrupt their positions and weaken their morale; at the same time, set up strong fortifications in the border fortresses, wait for the enemy to reveal a flaw, and then lay out a plan to build a strong defense.

This offensive and defensive tactic, which was both robust in defense and flexible in offense, immediately gave the generals present a refreshing feeling.

Instructor Liangqiu's frown relaxed, and counselor Zuoqiu also clapped his hands in praise: "Your Majesty has foresight and foresight. This battle will surely be victorious!" The other generals also expressed their agreement, and the tent was suddenly filled with hope and excitement.

The corners of Baona's mouth rose slightly. She felt the trust of everyone and her heart was filled with strength.

She knows that as a leader, she not only needs to formulate the right strategy, but also needs to unite people and boost morale.

And now, she did it.

Afterwards, Baona was led to the armory by the guards.

The air was filled with a cold smell unique to iron, and the flames made a sizzling sound as they roasted the iron.

Nangong weapon craftsman was swinging the hammer with concentration, his coarse clothes were soaked with sweat, and his face was red in the reflection of the fire.

Seeing Baona coming, he smiled naively, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Nangong, thank you for your hard work during this period. I have listened to all your suggestions, and now our army's weapons and equipment have been greatly improved." Baona walked to his side and said sincerely.

Nangong put down the hammer in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his rough hand, and scratched his head in a simple manner: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. It is my honor to serve the kingdom." His simple words, with a sincere warmth, spread in the cold armory.

Baona smiled and patted his shoulder. The silent trust and friendship between them became even deeper at this moment.

The moonlight gradually enveloped the earth, and the night slowly opened like a huge black curtain.

Baona stood in front of the tent, the night wind blowing the corners of her clothes.

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes as sharp as the stars in the night sky.

She looked into the distance, where a figure was slowly approaching.

The man's eyes were sinister, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He slowly said, "Our leader has something to say to your queen..."

The messenger's voice was sharp and piercing, breaking the silence of the night.

He raised his head and read out the order of the leader of the Dongmen tribe in a condescending tone: "My lord Dongmen Kui is the son chosen by God. I order you to surrender the city quickly and submit to me, and you will be spared from death!" His words were full of contempt and provocation, as if the ancient Dian Kingdom was just a lamb to be slaughtered in his eyes.

She walked forward slowly, each step firm and powerful.

She looked at the envoy in front of her coldly, her tone as cold as ice: "Go back and tell your leader that the ancient Dian Kingdom will never surrender. If you want land, you have to step over our corpses!" Her words were loud and clear, like a sharp sword, fiercely piercing the envoy's arrogance.

The envoy obviously did not expect Baona to be so tough. His face turned ashen, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. In the end, he just said harshly: "Okay, okay! You don't know how to be polite. Just wait to be razed to the ground!" Then he fled the camp in disgrace.

The departure of the messenger did not ease the tense atmosphere, but instead added fuel to the fire, filling the air with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The sound of the horn echoed in the night sky, like the roar of a wild beast, tearing the quiet night apart.

The soldiers of the East Gate tribe began to gather. They held spears, waved axes, and let out deafening shouts, as if they were going to shake the entire earth to pieces.

Outside the tent, the soldiers of the ancient Dian Kingdom were also lined up in neat rows. They were wearing armor and holding sharp blades. The torches illuminated their young and determined faces, as if igniting the fighting flames in their hearts.

Baona stood at the front of the team, her eyes swept over every soldier, her voice was sonorous and powerful, and clearly reached everyone's ears: "Warriors, our homes, our loved ones, are waiting for us to protect them! Today, we will use the weapons in our hands to prove to the enemy that the dignity of the ancient Dian Kingdom cannot be violated!" Her words were like a war drum, beating in the hearts of every soldier and igniting the passion in their hearts.

They raised their weapons and let out deafening roars in response to their queen.

The two armies faced each other like two ferocious beasts ready to pounce on each other at any time.

The air seemed to freeze, and even breathing became cautious.

The tension came like a tide, making it hard to breathe.

In the distance, the sound of war drums could be heard faintly, and every beat was like a heavy hammer hitting people's hearts.

War is imminent.

Baona took a deep breath, and the smell of earth and gunpowder rushed into her nostrils.

She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, feeling the cold touch of the sword, and her eyes became sharp as a knife.

She looked up and saw the army of the East Gate Tribe coming like a dark tide.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a resolute smile.

"Pass the order..."
