She Live Streams Modern Life to Ancient People After Failing to Conquer the Emperor

Chapter 218

Seeing she hadn't moved, the officer began to get angry.

Ge Qing didn't know if her actions had been discovered, so she could only steel herself and approach.

"Ugh!"

As soon as she walked over, the officer suddenly vomited right in front of her.

It barely missed landing on her.

The overpowering stench of alcohol made Ge Qing's eyes water, and she turned her head slightly to the side.

After vomiting, the officer put his hand on Ge Qing's shoulder.

"Help this general back."

So she hadn't been discovered after all. Ge Qing breathed a sigh of relief internally.

"General, where are your quarters?"

Knowing he was drunk at the moment, Ge Qing dared to ask in a lowered voice.

The officer pointed vaguely in a direction. Seeing that he was too drunk to tell east from west, and worried her companions would be anxious waiting, Ge Qing helped him to the side.

"General, we've arrived. You can sleep now."

The officer groggily hugged a pillar and fell asleep.

Only then did Ge Qing hurry back to the kitchen. The others had returned as well. Seeing Ge Qing had made it back safely, they quickly descended the mountain. After changing into civilian clothes in the town below, they finally returned to the Elder Princess's camp to report the intelligence they had gathered.

After hearing this information, the Elder Princess asked Gu Sang for his thoughts.

Gu Sang pondered for a moment, combining this with their recent reconnaissance, then spoke:

"It's unlikely to be a trap. First of all, they don't know we have people mixed in with the vegetable delivery team."

"Secondly, if it were just a dozen people, they might be able to put on an act. But from what Ge Qing and the others have discovered, the entire Mountain City army is this lax. That seems rather improbable."

"I've actually been thinking, are we being too cautious? Perhaps the imperial court isn't as vigilant as we imagine."

The Elder Princess furrowed her brow slightly, holding a different view.

As the leader of an army, she had too many factors to consider, with tens of thousands of troops behind her.

Immediately, the Elder Princess raised her doubts: "Sang Sang, this is war. Knowing our attack is fierce, how could the Mountain City troops dare to drink in broad daylight and be so undisciplined?"

"I fear it's a trap, they want to lure us in!"

Originally, Gu Sang had some doubts, but hearing the Elder Princess speak so assuredly actually made him more certain of his own thoughts.

Perhaps the enemy was playing this very psychological game?

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Sang said: "Wei Qi, you may not have experienced this kind of war situation before, so you imagine people to be so cautious."

"In our future history, there have been similar incidents where, in a seemingly certain victory, it was precisely the overconfidence and laxity that led to total defeat."

"I understand your thinking. You believe that with war approaching, they would unite to resist. No, before they taste pain, even if they appear united, it's only superficial. They look down on the weaker side."

"I'm certain that now, relying on the Mountain City's terrain, they think we wouldn't dare to act rashly. They believe they're bound to win, so they don't take us seriously at all. They continue to eat and drink as they please."

"We see them as opponents, but they might just see us as a group of ants."

Especially with the legendary tales of the women's army spreading, the imperial court would be even more dismissive.

Perhaps they weren't playing mind games, but simply looking down on us?

Hearing Gu Sang's words, the Elder Princess's lips curled into a cold smile, tinged with anger: "Good, they've delivered Mountain City right to my doorstep."

"Originally, I was racking my brains on how to take Mountain City, but I never expected these fools to be so lax."

"Mountain City is such a crucial stronghold, yet they send such incompetents. Now I should thank Pei Changying for handing Mountain City over to me on a silver platter."

The Elder Princess was smiling, but her smile carried anger.

She felt indignant on behalf of those soldiers. The imperial court still seemed unaware of the gravity of the situation, not even sending an important general to guard the city.

This was the lifetime achievement her father had painstakingly built.

In just a few years, had the imperial court already become so corrupt?

The Elder Princess issued the attack order at dusk. By this time, only about two hours remained until nightfall, just when everyone was preparing to light fires and cook dinner.

"Tch, they didn't come again today. What a boring day."

Seeing it was already evening, the city guards who had been standing all day relaxed and sat on the ground, backs against the watchtower wall, eagerly eyeing the cooking area.

Zhou Qichen's troops, like heavenly soldiers descending, had already reached the city gate, only to find the watchtower unmanned?

The one or two soldiers present even had their backs turned to them!

This made even the usually confident Zhou Qichen unsure. What was going on?

Could this be some kind of strategy?

The enemy was at the gates, couldn't they at least turn around and look?

Of course, Zhou Qichen wasn't foolish enough to call out for them to turn around.

Without making a sound, Zhou Qichen used hand signals to direct a few special forces soldiers to climb up using ropes, then silently deal with the sentries above.

The whole process was carried out without a sound. Before the Mountain City soldiers realized what was happening, the Elder Princess's troops had already entered the city in broad daylight!

It was only at this point that people began to notice them.

"Ah!!! The rebels have attacked!"

"Ah! Quick, get up, the rebels are here!"

Hearing the commotion outside, some hurriedly tried to wake their drunken comrades.

However, before they could fully awaken, they were seized en masse and became prisoners.

Ge Qing led the women's guard unit in the middle of the formation. Their primary purpose this time was to treat their own side's wounded soldiers.

However, when they saw the situation in Mountain City, it was entirely one-sided slaughter and capture.

They had no use for their skills at all!

Ge Qing and her team served as the medical unit when soldiers were injured, and could also fight as soldiers themselves when numbers were short: they were lethal weapons.

Seeing the situation, Ge Qing immediately rallied her sisters.

"Let's go! We'll join the killing too!"

Then, Ge Qing led her sisters to join the vanguard, engaging in battle with the Mountain City soldiers.

"Heh, it's women soldiers!"

Seeing a female soldier blocking his path, this soldier immediately let out a scornful laugh.

Without a word, Ge Qing charged at the soldier. Even as the sword pierced his chest, his shocked eyes still held traces of that earlier disdain.

How could it be... How could she be so strong?

Ge Qing pulled her sword from his chest, and the soldier fell to the ground in despair.

"Pathetic. Weren't you boasting this morning that you could take on ten women single-handedly?"

"Weaklings just talk big." Ge Qing certainly remembered this man.

When entering the city gate, she had silently memorized the faces of several gate guards, thinking that given the chance, she would definitely show them the prowess of the women's army.
