I traveled through time and became the Queen of Ancient Dian
Chapter 62 Internal and External Defense
General Yuchi pointed at the flickering fire above the Black Wind Valley in the distance and asked, "What is that?!" The fire flickered, looking particularly strange in the dark night.
"Could it be that the enemy's secret weapon has started to work?" Hu Yan, the logistics officer, had a trembling voice. He held his food bag tightly, as if it was his last straw.
"Hold on!" the Queen shouted, "What can a mere fire do to me? Pass the order down, no one is allowed to spread rumors and disrupt the morale of the army!" However, the soldiers in the army were like frightened birds at this moment, and all kinds of rumors were still spreading secretly.
Some say it's the demonic fire of the Black Wind Valley, designed to suck away human souls; others say it's an ancient beast summoned by the enemy, poised to devour everything...
"Your Majesty, I believe we should retreat immediately!" General Yuchi anxiously advised, "The enemy is full of tricks. We must not underestimate them!"
"General, you're wrong!" Advisor Shentu said slowly, waving his feather fan. "In my opinion, this is just a tactic used by the enemy to confuse the enemy and disrupt our morale. We just need to hold our ground and wait for them to run out of food and supplies, and then we'll naturally win without a fight."
"Bullshit!" General Yuchi roared with his neck thick. "What do you, a nerd, know about war? What if it really is a secret weapon? Aren't we just sitting there waiting to be killed?!"
"General, please be careful with your words!" Advisor Shentu was not to be outdone. "Warfare is all about deception! How can we just act recklessly?!" The two of them argued back and forth, and the surrounding soldiers looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The queen rubbed her eyebrows and felt overwhelmed.
Internal and external troubles made her physically and mentally exhausted.
She took a deep breath and was about to speak, but she found that Baona was looking at her, her eyes full of determination and encouragement.
This made her feel warm in her heart, as if she had found her backbone.
Baona walked up to the queen and gently held her hand.
The queen felt the warmth in his palm and her heart inexplicably calmed down.
Baona whispered a few words into the Queen's ear.
The queen's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally she smiled.
"Generals, please be patient," the Queen said in a clear and powerful voice. "I already have a plan..." She paused, her eyes sweeping across the crowd, finally stopping at Baona. "Baona, you tell everyone..."
Baona smiled slightly, took a step forward, and said loudly: "The concerns of both generals are reasonable, but the most important thing now is to find out what the fire is! Instead of arguing here, it is better to send someone to investigate." Her eyes were firm and her tone was steady, and she had an aura that was no less than that of the Queen.
General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu were both stunned.
This little girl, who looks so weak, actually has such courage?
"Where is the spy Baili?" Baona looked around.
A thin man with sharp eyes responded: "I'm here!"
"Go to Black Wind Valley quickly to find the source of the fire. Be careful and don't make any mistakes!" Baona ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The spy Baili took the order and disappeared into the night.
General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu looked at each other and saw surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.
This little girl is something!
He is worthy of being favored by His Majesty.
The argument between the two now seemed as childish as a quarrel between elementary school students.
They all bowed to Baona in unison and said, "Young lady, your opinion is excellent!"
The Queen looked at Baona, her eyes full of admiration and...love.
After everyone had dispersed and all matters had been arranged, the Queen gently took Baona's hand and walked to a secluded corner.
The moonlight poured down like water, enveloping the figures of the two in a silver glow.
"Bona," the Queen's voice was so gentle that it almost dripped with water, "thank you."
Baona smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. I just did what I should do."
The queen gently approached Baona and could almost smell the faint, unique fragrance on her, like some unknown flower scent mixed with the fresh scent of soil.
She could feel Baona's tenderness, her dependence, and... her pounding heart.
This made her feel an indescribable sweetness and excitement in her heart.
"You are always so calm and wise," the Queen said in a low voice, with a barely perceptible tremor. "I am so lucky to have you by my side."
Baona's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into the Queen's eyes.
The queen gently lifted Baona's chin and made her look at her.
Under the moonlight, the queen's eyes were full of tenderness, as bright as the stars.
She slowly approached, their breaths mingling, so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeats...
"Report--" A quick shout broke the quiet and ambiguous atmosphere.
The 100-mile spy returned, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a hurried tone: "Your Majesty! There is nothing unusual in Black Wind Valley, but the enemy took advantage of the night to attack our southern camp!"
"What?!" General Yuchi was furious. "How dare these barbarians be so bold!"
"Speed is of the essence in war. I will lead my troops to meet the enemy now!" He turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the counselor Shentu.
"Wait a minute, General!" Advisor Shentu said solemnly, "The enemy chose to attack at night, so they must have made some preparations. We should proceed with caution and not attack rashly."
The two started arguing again. Baona rubbed her temples. Why did they start arguing again?
What a pair of enemies!
She took a deep breath, stepped forward and said, "Generals, please be patient. In my opinion, since the enemy has chosen to attack at night, they must have few troops and want to catch us off guard. We just need to..." Baona explained her analysis of the enemy's tactics and response strategies in a clear and logical manner, which left the two generals stunned.
The Queen looked at Baona, her eyes full of pride. As expected of someone she favored, she was truly outstanding!
According to Bao Na's deployment, the ancient Dian army took quick action.
General Yuchi led his troops to meet the enemy head-on, strategist Shentu was responsible for arranging the troops, and spy Baili led a small team to go around the rear of the enemy to encircle them.
The battle began and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
The enemy army was indeed coming with great force, and the warrior Duan Gan in the lead was extremely brave. Holding a huge axe, he charged left and right, and no one could stop him.
"As expected of a warrior like Duan Gan, he's a real man!" General Yuchi praised, then picked up his spear and joined the battle.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.
Under the guidance of Bao Na's new strategy, the ancient Dian soldiers no longer fought alone as before, but cooperated closely and covered each other, and their combat effectiveness was instantly improved by more than one level.
Even when facing the fierce Duan Gan warrior, he was not at a disadvantage at all.
In the end, under the encirclement of Baili's spies and the fierce attack of General Yuchi, the enemy army was defeated and fled with heavy losses.
After this battle, no one in the army doubted Baona's ability anymore, but instead admired her very much.
Even General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu, who had previously criticized her, were convinced by her.
The queen held Baona's hand and said softly, "You are really my lucky star." There was tenderness in her eyes, as if to melt Baona.
Baona's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently pulled her hand back: "Your Majesty, thank you for the compliment. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
As the night deepened, the camp gradually became quiet, with only the footsteps of patrolling soldiers echoing.
The queen took Baona outside the tent and pointed at the stars in the sky and said, "Look, the stars are so beautiful tonight..."
"Yes," Baona looked up at the starry sky, but felt a little uneasy in her heart, "It's so beautiful..."
At this moment, a hurried voice broke the silence: "Your Majesty! Hu Yan, the logistics officer, requests to see you. He said he has something important to report!"
Logistics Officer Huyan crawled to the front of the empress and fell to his knees with a plop, his fat trembling like a frightened quail.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
The Queen frowned slightly, a bit displeased. "Why are you so flustered? How disgraceful!"
Logistics Officer Hu Yan took out a bamboo slip from his bosom tremblingly and presented it with both hands.
"Your Majesty, please review this... There's a problem with the logistics supply line..."
Baona and the Queen looked at each other, and both saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes.
The queen took the bamboo slips, glanced through them quickly, and her face turned ashen in an instant.
"How ridiculous!" She threw the bamboo slips to the ground, shocking Hu Yan, the logistics officer, again.
Baona picked up the bamboo slips and read them carefully.
It turned out that the supply line leading to the southern camp was blocked by a landslide, and a large amount of food and supplies were buried and could not be transported to the front line in a short time.
This is no small matter. Without food and supplies, the army will be like a weaned child and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
By then, not to mention continuing the attack, even defense will become a problem.
"This...what should we do?" Hu Yan, the logistics officer, had a sad face, like an eggplant hit by frost, with his head drooping.
General Yuchi and Advisor Shentu rushed over after hearing the news, and their faces were solemn after learning about the situation.
"It really is raining cats and dogs!" General Yuchi slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped up.
Baona's brain was working fast, thinking of a solution.
Landslide... this is not something that can be easily solved by human power.
She suddenly thought of a possibility and looked up at the Queen. "Your Majesty, could it be..."
The queen seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became even uglier.
She said in a deep voice: "Send it to the spies a hundred miles away!"
Baili's spy arrived soon, knelt on one knee, and waited for the Queen's instructions.
"Go and investigate quickly to see if this landslide was man-made!" The Queen's voice was cold and carried a hint of murderous intent.
Baili Secret Agent took the order and left, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
There was a tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.
Baona walked to the queen, gently held her hand, and gave her silent comfort.
The Queen held Baona's hand in return, and their fingers were interlocked, and they could feel the warmth of each other's palms.
Just then, a soldier stumbled in, his face pale, and said breathlessly: "Report, report to Your Majesty... the enemy, the enemy army..." He suddenly stopped, and made a "ho ho" sound in his throat, as if someone was strangling his neck and he couldn't speak.
He pointed tremblingly into the distance, his eyes filled with fear.
"What's wrong with the enemy?" General Yuchi grabbed the soldier's collar and asked sternly.
The soldier opened his mouth, but only uttered two words: "...ran away..." After that, he fell straight down.
Ran away? The enemy ran away? Everyone was confused. What was going on?
The Queen and Baona looked at each other, and both had an ominous premonition in their hearts... "Something is wrong..." the Queen murmured.
Baona held the Queen's hand tightly and felt her hand trembling slightly.
She said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid..."
