Lin Kai was taken aback by what he saw.

I was just about to order a few soldiers to go and see what was going on.

"The soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty are truly loyal and righteous..."

Standing not far away, Xin Jingchen put down the bamboo tube she was holding and wiped away her tears.

Lin Kai: ?

Upon hearing this, Lin Kai turned his head and looked at Xin Jingchen with a bewildered expression.

He met Lin Kai's gaze.

"General, these soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty are indeed a loyal and righteous army. No wonder the Emperor Taizu agreed to let them be stationed outside Zhenliao City with their armor on."

"They must have remembered that men should show deference to women after seeing that the enemy commander was a woman..."

Xin Jingchen spoke with teary eyes, a few tears still faintly visible at the corners of his eyes.

Lin Kai: ? → ? ? → ? ? ?

"Fortunately, I never really intended to use this army to rebel..."

"Otherwise, what if we encounter a female general leading the troops in the future..."

Lin Kai's face was grim as he gripped the sword hilt tightly with his five fingers.

I hesitated for a moment.

"By my order, immediately fire arrows at this barbarian female general!"

"Whoever kills the female general will be rewarded with 30 taels of gold!"

Lin Kai turned to look at the messenger beside him.

Upon hearing this, the messenger was taken aback.

"General, is this...?"

"General, war should be fought honorably. What kind of skill is it to shoot arrows from the shadows?"

However, before the messenger could finish speaking, Xin Jingchen stepped forward and spoke with a stiff neck.

Lin Kai: ?

...

Meanwhile, things were chaotic on the city wall in Lin Kai's area.

at the same time.

Why is there such a commotion at the city gate?

Erda Yu sat on her white horse, her phoenix eyes looking at the city gate, puzzled.

Are the people of Dali really so lacking in manners?

On the battlefield, internal strife breaks out on our own side first?

Faced with Erda Yuqia's question, the group of former Daqian soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a few breaths.

A man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, wearing light silver armor, stepped out of the crowd.

"According to the rules that Kyushu usually follows."

When two armies meet, one side must retreat first to allow the other side to make adequate preparations.

"Now that the Southern Barbarian army is coming, they haven't even given us a heads-up. Isn't that a bit against protocol?"

The man clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, looked at Erda Yuqia, and spoke earnestly.

Erda Yuqia thought it made sense.

However, after glancing at the Nanman army behind him out of the corner of his eye...

"Why should I, the general, obey?"

Erda Yu pouted, clearly disdainful of speaking.

"?"

Upon hearing this, the man blinked.

"This is the unspoken rule throughout Kyushu, the way of a gentleman. Could it be that General Erda Yuqia...?"

"I'm not a man, why should I act like a gentleman?"

Erda Yuqia curled her lip, her face full of mockery.

LOL, it's only right that you let me have my way, why should I let you have my way too?

He paused for a moment.

Just as the man's lips twitched, as he was about to say something.

"Clang!"

Erdayu drew the sword from his waist.

"Soldiers, follow me..."

Gripping the hilt tightly, with the longsword raised in mid-air, Erda Yuqia spoke loudly.

...

"? Why has the Southern Barbarian army started attacking?"

Looking at the scene inside the bamboo tube, Lin Kai was somewhat surprised and doubtful.

Doesn't the Southern Barbarians have that female-centric brain? Or is it just the normal mindset of "taking advantage of someone's weakness to kill them"?

Thinking of this, Lin Kai's gaze became serious.

He glanced at the soldiers beside him, including Xin Jingchen, who were beaten black and blue and tied up on the ground.

"Pah! I'll settle accounts with you guys after this is over!"

Lin Kai spat.

Luckily I have a system... luckily I'm strong...

"By my order, the army will be divided into three wings, with spearmen at the forefront, followed by swordsmen..."

Lin Kai strode toward the observation platform, speaking as he went.

However, Lin Kai didn't finish his sentence.

"Young master, what is the Spear Army?"

Choi Ki, who was walking beside him, looked up and stared blankly at Lin Kai.

Lin Kai: ?

"Yes, General, aren't the spearmen soldiers who carry spears?"

"The soldiers all carry swords, so where did this spear-wielding army come from?"

"Spears are bulky and not cool at all; haven't they been obsolete for a long time?"

Several soldiers nearby scratched their heads and asked with puzzled expressions.

Lin Kai: ...

I thought the female audience's understanding of war was 1, but you're telling me it's -10?

...

Given that he had previously refrained from sending his private troops out of "caution," and also given that this army was pitifully small in number.

Left with no other choice, Lin Kai ordered his army to split into three groups: two to engage in direct combat and one to flank and launch a surprise attack.

The messenger relayed Lin Kai's orders.

The former soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty also realized what was happening.

Why bother with all that? Old Master Guo is still tied to the city wall!

Thus, the two armies clashed.

At first, Lin Kai was quite excited.

After all, a full 20 people hacking each other, while a bit... well, it still has a certain impact.

For example, the neighing of clashing swords and galloping horses, the heroic spirit of fighting on the battlefield, the charge of wielding the jade dragon to die for the sovereign, and the tragic grandeur of never returning until Loulan is conquered...

But gradually...

"What do you mean by 'the sun is a bit strong, so I need to reapply my makeup'?"

Lin Kai looked at the messenger in front of him with a look of horror.

I was wondering why the army suddenly stopped, and then you came running up to me all excitedly, and this is what you're telling me.

"General, do you think the sun is too strong, and the battlefield is too scorching, causing people to sweat?"

The messenger pointed to the sky and spoke with an air of self-righteousness.

Lin Kai: ?

He glanced at the setting sun in the sky, then at the former Daqian soldiers being chased and hacked down below the city wall.

"No, they don't have any over in the Southern Barbarian lands..."

"General, what do these barbarians know? Do they even know what battlefield etiquette is?"

The messenger interrupted abruptly, his face full of mockery when he uttered the words "barbarians."

"..."

Lin Kai fell into deep thought.

Killing your own men in battle is a grave taboo... Killing your own men will only demoralize the entire army... I will endure it...

...

Lin Kai ultimately disappointed his soldiers.

Because Lin Kai refused their request to "withdraw and go back to reapply rouge and powder".

But Lin Kai promised to give each soldier 30 taels of silver after the war, and the families of the fallen would receive 300 taels of silver. Most importantly, Lin Kai also directly slit the throat of Old Master Guo's grandson.

Driven by the lure of money, and also because he knew the Guo family was still under Lin Kai's control.

These former soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty charged towards the Southern Barbarian army like wolves and tigers.

Blood stained the land outside the town of Liaocheng red, and even the nearby stream turned deep red.

It wasn't until evening, close to the hour of Hai (9-11 PM).

"? He's that good at fighting?"

Holding the bamboo tube and looking into the distance, Lin Kai's face was filled with horror.

No, judging from the size of the Southern Barbarian army, there are only a little over 3 left, right?

They're still fighting even with over 60% casualties?

Qi Jiguang's army consistently suffered peak casualties, but this was only a little over 40%...

In a typical army of 10, if 2 are wiped out, they'll start crying and scatter in all directions...

"So it seems my previous assumptions weren't wrong?"

"Female-oriented content creators certainly don't understand warfare, and theoretically I don't need to fear the entire nation's military attacking me, but their casualty rate..."

Lin Kai stroked his chin.

That would be disastrous. Faced with forces dozens or even hundreds of times larger, even if the enemy were a bunch of pigs, they could still crush him... unless he could summon a meteor...

After hundreds of breaths.

Having thought things through and formulated his next strategy, Lin Kai looked up.

He was about to speak to the messenger.

"*&&*…#￥%"

A delicate shout rang out from afar.

Then, in Lin Kai's view, Erda Yuqia rode a white horse and charged towards him (white armor and white horse are easy to identify).

"What is that woman shouting about?"

At first, Lin Kai's reaction was somewhat taken aback.

After all, the distance was quite far, and the wind was too strong to hear clearly.

But next second.

"You've come here to be killed, haven't you?"

Lin Kai's eyes lit up.

I was thinking, "You're such a strong female lead, you're so tough. How can I get rid of you?" But look at what you've done.

next moment.

"Give me!"

Lin Kai strode over to an archer and snatched the longbow from the archer's hand and the quiver from his back.

Take a deep breath.

He raised the 7-stone longbow, then drew arrows from his quiver and nocked them onto the longbow.

After taking aim at the figure in white armor riding a white horse ahead.

"call out!"
