Divorced woman with child travels through time

Once the military order was given, the people stopped following and countless people crowded onto the city wall to watch them leave from afar.

He hadn't even properly said goodbye to his wife yet! Wang Erniu looked back with considerable regret; he missed his wife.

"Hey, who is that?" Wang Erniu's eyes reddened, and he waved vigorously at the familiar figure on the city wall.

His response was an even more ferocious and unrestrained wave, just like her love, which had always been so passionate and unreserved.

"Let's go!" Wang Erniu shouted, and the team set off in unison, full of vigor and determination to win.

The newly arrived soldiers, swaggering along, were like wolf cubs, excitedly chatting with the veterans.

"Second Uncle, what do those Japanese people look like? Tell us about them!"

The old soldier grinned, his dark face showing his teeth. "Sure, give me one of your peanut brittle candies. Don't think I don't know! You bought a whole bag."

"Oh dear, let's not eat now. We'll take it out when we run out of supplies. Uncle, please tell us first!" the new recruit said coquettishly, nudging him.

"Exactly, tell us about it!"

Several new recruits pushed him around.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you then." The veteran tightened his backpack. Chen's specially made backpack was waterproof and dirt-resistant, and it was quite heavy because it was packed with a lot of stuff.

"Actually, the Japanese are somewhat similar to us, except they have very small eyes, are short, and have bowlegs, you know? Every single one of them has bowlegs, and they run like turtles. But they are not afraid of death, and they charge in very fiercely, like fools. When you encounter them, don't hesitate, just fight them directly, use your killing moves, and don't hesitate." The old soldier walked along with a look of reminiscence.

"Don't let their simplicity fool you, they're actually quite cunning. The brothers in the camp ahead of us were just trying to capture someone alive. When we were cutting him, the knife missed by an inch, and that Japanese man pounced on him and bit his neck. If I hadn't reacted quickly, that brother would have been killed by another Japanese man who was pretending to be dead. They're very cunning; even when they're about to die, they still bite back."

"So you must be careful not to be soft on the Japanese. They are not only worse than beasts, they are inhuman!" The old soldier sighed. "There are some bloody things that I can't say, you will know when you get to the battlefield."

"So that means we have to remember what the general said: no matter what the situation, we must learn to cooperate. That way, we'll be in the hands of our brothers. Staying alive is the most important thing, right?" the recruit asked, blinking his clear eyes.

"That's right!" The old soldier chuckled, squinting at the imposing figure on horseback ahead. "You guys are lucky. You've met a good general. You get paid, and you're well-fed and clothed."

"What's wrong with that? It's only natural!" one of the younger recruits said dismissively.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!" The veteran was about to explain when someone hit the man on the head with a loud thud.

The new recruit covered his head and looked at his comrade, who scolded him, "Are you out of your mind? When we were working in Shanghai, our employers owed us wages and wouldn't pay us. I was the one who helped you get your wages back. And now, after only a few days, you're already ungrateful."

"Brother, stop hitting me, I know I was wrong!" The soldier looked around, hoping one of his brothers could put in a good word for him.

After realizing that no one was making a sound, he obediently hid and lowered his head, remaining silent.

After traveling at a fast pace, we finally arrived in Huian County around noon. As soon as we entered the territory, brothers from the Qi Battalion came up to inform us.

"Meet the general!"

"How is it?" Wang Erniu took the intelligence report that was handed to him.

"It's not very optimistic. We've been fighting for three hours, and the Japanese haven't retreated. They came too fast; several villages outside the county town didn't have time to evacuate, so there must have been many casualties!" Qi Shiba looked exhausted, with a lot of blood on his body. They had taken a shortcut from the sea to bypass the city, but as soon as the fighting started, Huian sealed off the city, leaving them with no choice.

"I remember you were on Shanghai Road, how did you get here?"

"We've lost contact with the brothers here for two days. I brought people here specifically to find out what happened." Qi Shiba couldn't hide his sadness. The brothers in the Qi Battalion were all elites among elites, only one in a thousand could get in. Losing even one of them was unbearable.

"Alright, thank you for your hard work! If you need anything, just come to me. Make sure you find out the truth. I'll take some men into the city right away. I won't say any more." Wang Erniu patted his shoulder; time was of the essence.

"Yes! Congratulations on your triumphant return, General!" Several brothers from the Qi Battalion saluted in unison.

They soon entered the city. Wang Xiaoguang arrived with Caiyun, who was covered in dust from their journey. Several capable female soldiers followed behind Caiyun.

"Second Brother! You've arrived."

"General Wang, how is your wife?"

The two spoke one after the other, but the words they uttered were different.

Seeing that the two of them didn't seem anxious, Wang Erniu smiled slightly, nodded to Wang Xiaoguang, and said to Caiyun, "Madam is doing well; she even sent someone to inquire after you."

"Hehe!" Caiyun chuckled, completely losing her air of a commander.

“Let’s go, we’ll talk as we walk, and take a look at the city wall.” Wang Erniu strode forward.

"Yes!" Wang Xiaoguang followed closely, picking out the important points, "This morning at dawn, some villagers came with their families to report that a large number of Japanese had been spotted on the coast. As soon as I received the intelligence, I immediately deployed troops, but the Japanese came too fast. Only a few groups of villagers entered the city, and I sent out two small teams, before a large group of Japanese attacked. The situation was urgent, and I had to close the city gates first. However, the small teams that were sent out are still missing, and I'm afraid they are in grave danger."

“When I came out, Chu Yi told me that he had not received any signal of a large number of Japanese troops being mobilized, and his people had also lost contact. It’s not your fault that you couldn’t react in time!” Wang Erniu’s face was somewhat solemn. This time, there was obviously a problem, but he couldn’t find any clues about where the problem was for the time being.

The group climbed the city wall and saw that, below the nearly eight-meter-high wall, more than two miles away, there were densely packed felt tents. Many Japanese people stood around them, pointing and gesturing at the city wall without attacking, seemingly discussing something. One golden felt tent was particularly eye-catching, and upon closer inspection, several Japanese women could be seen serving it.

"What's going on?" Wang Erniu was shocked. When did the Japanese have such a thing? He had never seen it before.

"General, don't be surprised. They just launched an attack; they shouldn't be able to come up again so quickly," Wang Xiaoguang said, pointing to the dozens of corpses below the city wall.

"Moreover, they don't seem to want to attack us, but they don't retreat either. According to the merchants in our city, this kind of felt tent is commonly used by northern herders, and this small one is even rarer. I don't know how the Japanese have it."
