Chương 265: Chapter 265

As news of the outbreak of fighting reached the command tent, even the usually calm and collected Chu Qiao, who was planning her army's tactics, could not help but feel a little panicked.

Frowning, a Tang general suggested, "Your Highness, we should provide assistance for them to retreat. We did not make any preparations, and Tiexian River is close to the Yan Bei command base. We have to take precautions."

Instead, Chu Qiao shook her head, replying sternly, "Are we the only ones unprepared? Based on field intelligence, this battle was completely spontaneous. Neither side was prepared to engage."

"But…"

"He Qi, I want you to immediately lead 20,000 infantry troops towards Tiexian River. I'm counting on you to lead our army's first battle."

Stunned, He Qi asked, "20,000 infantry troops?"

Chu Qiao nodded. "Correct."
