After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 1273 Oh, he's not dead yet.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, women also made contributions. Emperor Taizong remembered the favor and created the title of "heroine". He gave a group of female guards in red armor to noble ladies such as the old lady of Dafeng Pass and the princess of Xincheng, so that women could lead troops to protect other women.

But why did women's status fall to the point of having to pay a fine for being unmarried in less than a century?

It's very simple and realistic: in this world, strength speaks for itself.

If you lack strength, your place of refuge will be gradually devoured, until you have to rely on others to survive.

Emperor Taizong and Empress Dowager had foreseen this outcome, but they were powerless to change it.

When they passed away one after another, they left only one sentence for Madam Guan and the others: "Do your best, leave the rest to fate, and wait for God's blessing."

Now, they have truly received a divinely bestowed tool to help them. As long as they grasp this tool, their future will be bright and promising.

Therefore, General Chu's reminder was well-intentioned, reminding them not to lose sight of the important core for the sake of a military achievement.

However, this is all General Chu can do.

As for treasures like sharp weapons, whether they can protect them depends on their abilities and whether His Majesty is willing to show some compassion to these heroines, just as Emperor Taizong did.

"Wait a minute..." General Chu thought for a moment and then added 1,500 more soldiers: "Let Commander Zhao lead the full force, and Commander Fan lead half the force plus 500 supply troops, to go with the four divisions of Zhen, Fan, Ling and Feng to meet General Liang."

"Make sure to establish reconnaissance posts along the way, and don't let the enemy take them down again!"

The enemy forces in the Eastern Desert had wiped out the Wei army's outposts along the way more than once or twice. Otherwise, why didn't scouts report in advance when the enemy forces had already reached the chevaux-de-frise camp?

This was caused by the complete annihilation of the sentry posts along the way.

Commander Gan reminded us: "General, this is nearly six thousand troops. We still need to continue sweeping through Dongfu Town, and we also need to defend the barricade camp. If the enemy's purpose is to lure us away from the city while they are picking up General Liang, and their main force comes out to besiege the city, then the capital city will be in danger."

The previous attack by the Western Helmsmen was indeed a feint.

Whether the feigned attack was aimed at General Liang or at the capital city after his troops were withdrawn remains unknown.

"It's alright. If we encounter the main force of the enemy besieging the capital city, we can hold out for a while by relying on the city walls." General Chu still decided to send a large force to welcome General Liang and Prefect Shao and others.

After Hui Qianhu went to Qianyang County, he was never heard from again.

After Commander Zhong led his troops to pick up Prefect Shao and his men, they disappeared without a trace.

If the army were to encounter them or rescue them when they went to welcome General Liang into the city, it would be a good thing.

"After having Commander Gao set up long-range attack points in Dongfu Town, send half of the supplies back into the city."

Long-range supply and attack weapons are precious items; once used up, they must be quickly transported back for repair and maintenance.

"Yes." Commander Gan replied, and waited in the command tent for a while. Seeing that General Chu did not change the military order, he took the military order and troop mobilization documents and turned to do it.

……

Dangdang Dangdang!
The messenger shouted: "Commander Chu's order is hereby given that the city's garrison, Commander Zhao, Commander Xiao Ling, and Commander Da Feng, shall lead their entire troops to join forces with Commanders Zhen, Fan, and Fan, and proceed out of Dongfu Town along the main road to welcome General Liang back to the city!"

dong dong dong, dong dong dong!
The battle drums near the command tent sounded loudly, informing Commander Xiao Ling, Commander Da Feng, and others to assemble quickly.

Meanwhile, two hundred of the five hundred elite soldiers left behind by Commander Gan in the barricade camp also mobilized and assembled under the army banner. Upon hearing this, Commander Zhao immediately ordered his personal guard, "Hahaha, quick, beat the drums and assemble! Xiao Yu, you lead your troops to the battlefield of Dongfu Town, find Qin Dongjia, and ask her for a few boxes of weapons. We'll exchange them for armor, swords, arrows, and even warhorses. We won't take them for nothing!"

Yu Qianhu, the old comrade, was filled with envy and jealousy. He hurriedly said to Xiao Baihu, "Young Yu, I also want a few boxes. I'll trade them for war supplies. In short, I'll offer no less than you Qianhu!"

Xiao Yu thought they were dreaming, but he obeyed: "Yes, sir!"

After ordering the messenger to sound the gong to assemble the troops, he led his men ahead to the battlefield at Dongfu Town.

"Old Zhao, did you give General Chu a gift? Why are you letting me go to war but not me?!" Commander Yu was itching to fight and had no desire to defend the city.

"Pah, you surnamed Yu, I'm so poor I can barely afford to keep my warhorse, and you're still spreading rumors about me? How can you be so heartless?" After cursing, Zhao Qianhu couldn't help but gloat: "Hahaha, old Yu, stay here and guard the gate. When I get the spoils of war, I'll give you a pair of enemy soldiers' boots so that when you're killing the enemy, they won't dodge off your toes."

"Get out of here! Xiao Ling and the others have already left. What are you dawdling about?" Yu Qianhu hurriedly reminded him.

"Xiao Ling, Da Feng, you two really have no sense of camaraderie! You left without even saying goodbye!" Zhao Qianhu stopped joking and hurriedly left.

Meanwhile, on the ramparts surrounding the city walls, the war drums thundered, and the soldiers beating them repeatedly shouted: "Victory report! Great victory at Dongfu Town! Our army has recaptured Dongfu Town, wiped out the enemy forces hiding underground, and all four tunnels have been destroyed! Commander Qin, Commander Dongjia, Commander Wei, Commander Tang, Commander Gu, and Commander Dai, together, killed General Xiduo, a nobleman from the western part of the Eastern Desert! Tens of thousands of enemies were wiped out! Tens of thousands of sets of war equipment were captured! Xiduo was killed by Qin Dongjia's weapon!"

The soldiers on all four city walls shouted this, and before the messengers riding through the city could even announce it, the people in the five districts of the capital city—east, west, south, north, and central—heard the good news!

All the families living near the city wall came out and listened intently. After hearing it clearly, they burst into wild joy: "Aww, we won! Our Great Wei won! Our Wei army killed tens of thousands of enemy soldiers!"

"We've also killed the enemy's noble general and ship helmsman!"

"May Heaven bless the Great Wei!"

"Quickly, quickly, set up an incense table and thank the heavens and ancestors for their blessings, allowing us to win!"

Every household in the capital city was overjoyed. Even the poorest families offered a bowl of rice or noodles as a sacrifice to worship heaven, earth, and their ancestors.

As for the matter of Qin Dongjia's weapon blasting Xiduo to death.
Let's put it this way: ordinary Wei citizens don't have time to care about this right now; everyone is only concerned with winning or losing.

If we win, everyone celebrates happily. It's that simple and real, just like how nobody really cares who becomes emperor.

Clatter, clatter, clatter, a troop of messengers, flags raised, rode through the city, shouting as they galloped toward Wuyuan: "Great victory! Great victory at Dongfu Town! Our army has successfully recaptured the strategically important entrance and exit point of Dongfu Town..."

Wherever they went, people were already celebrating.

However, when the procession arrived at the main gate of Wuyuan, as was customary, they shouted the good news nine times before entering. Their excitement and loudness startled Lu Qian, who was ill, as well as students such as Shi Songxin, Si Peisifeng, and others.

"Sir, sir, Mr. Qin's weapon has blasted the enemy nobles of the Western Frontier to smithereens' graves... What does that mean? Could you tell us more about it?"

The messenger announcing the victory was interrupted, looked at him, and asked with displeasure, "Who are you?"

"In front of the student road..."

That's right, this thing in front of me is still alive; it's just that tough.

But he had a penchant for courting death. Just as his condition was improving, he heard the news that Qin Xiaomi had made a powerful weapon and led fully armored female soldiers to win many battles. This time, she even killed a noble general. He couldn't sit still and had to come out and find out the truth!
