Chapter 2302: Mission 33

After all…

Despite their frequent deployments to the border for combat, they had never received such exceptional treatment before.

Now, they felt light and rejuvenated.

When it was time for the next dose of medicine, those who had already partaken of it couldn’t help but persuade the holdouts, “Drink it. Why fight to the death? By the time we reach the border, you might not have the strength to endure further combat.’

The stubborn individuals relented under this persuasive appeal.

None of them were foolish. Those who had consumed the medicine were in high spirits, and they could naturally endure for extended periods on the battlefield. In fact, in good condition, they might even escape unscathed. In their current state, they were at risk of being easily overcome on the battlefield. This issue pertained to their lives, and nobody wished to jeopardize it out of pride.

They weren’t fools.

With lowered heads, they consumed the medicine.

“I’ve heard that this female general has a master. There are plenty of these rumors circulating. I just hope that when we truly face war, she won’t let us down.” Although they had ingested the medicine, there were still some lingering doubts they wanted to voice.

Their comments were met with silence.

Some who had benefited from the medicine chose to remain silent, reluctant to utter anything derogatory about the female general.

Thankfully, they had little time to linger. They resumed their journey immediately, arriving at the border after another day of travel.

Gu Chaoyan also heaved a sigh of relief; they had expended considerable time on the road.

Fortunately, they had finally reached their destination.

He yearned to swiftly resolve the impending war and accomplish the mission promptly.

“The border is just ahead. Keep your spirits high and heed my commands,” Gu

Chaoyan declared in a magnanimous manner.

She appointed the deputy general to oversee the ambush.

As for herself, she led the troops to the forefront, providing support and overseeing the lure.

She had left behind a total of 22,000 soldiers for the ambush while leading 8,000 soldiers forward.

Initially, these soldiers found it difficult to accept this strategy, but as time passed, a revelation seemed to dawn upon them.

In the past, no one had ever conceived of such a tactic for warfare.

If they succeeded, it might well result in a victory for Southern Mist.

This decision led many to perceive this female general as being fundamentally different from her predecessor. She demonstrated intelligence and decisiveness.

Unperturbed by their perceptions, Gu Chaoyan proceeded to the frontlines with her 8,000 troops.

Upon reaching the border, the Southern Mist general there appeared despondent upon observing the limited reinforcement. “The emperor has only sent this small force?”

“It’s all over, it’s all over.”

Only then did Gu Chaoyan grasp the dire situation. There were at least 20,000 Chengqi troops arrayed against them, while Southern Mist, already the weaker side, had only 10,000 troops left at the border. Gu Chaoyan had brought only a few thousand soldiers with her, and despite not matching Chengqi in terms of strength, they still possessed fewer troops than Chengqi. How could they possibly secure a victory? Southern Mist was bound to suffer heavy casualties.

The Southern Mist soldiers’ morale plummeted.

Conversely, the Chengqi soldiers were filled with confidence.

“With such scant reinforcements, you still dare to challenge Chengqi? Perhaps it would be wiser to surrender the city here and now,” the Chengqi general boomed with laughter.

“Engage!” Gu Chaoyan wasted no time and initiated the confrontation with Chengqi.

The border’s Southern Mist general brimmed with anxiety..
