The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1112 - 421: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (20) (3)
In ancient times, the difficulty of warfare lay here.
No satellite navigation, no detailed 3D maps of every road or river, everything relied on manpower, experience, and wisdom.
Great generals became great because they possessed the "intuition" and decisiveness that most ordinary leaders lacked.
He Tiantian’s intuition was very accurate, and she also had a certain level of military knowledge.
However, she did not need to rely on these, she had a more advanced cheat.
Student Xiao D directly activated God’s Eye View, encompassing the entire Northwest within his monitoring scope.
The three routes Liu Sheng mentioned appeared vividly and three-dimensional in the depths of He Tiantian’s sea of consciousness.
"Take this one!"
He Tiantian pointed to the one with the valley, "Time is tight, we must reach West City as soon as possible!"
She wanted to see her Daddy and brother as soon as possible.
"Grand Steward, this may not be ideal. Should we discuss it further?" Liu Sheng, seeing He Tiantian’s urgency, became somewhat worried.
As a leader, impatience is the biggest taboo.
Once anxious, it’s easy to make rash decisions.
And one wrong decision could cost not just one or two lives, but hundreds or thousands.
This time, they didn’t bring many reinforcements, including personal soldiers and logistical support, it was only about fifteen hundred men.
If like "He Tian," they only sought speed and didn’t consider other factors, it could easily lead to a Hulu ambush.
At that point, they wouldn’t be able to support West City, and these fifteen hundred men would be wiped out.
"Yes, General Liu is right!"
Wang Kui quickly echoed, "I know Grand Steward, you are anxious, but such matters cannot be rushed."
"That’s right, we have already reached the Northwest, only two to three hundred li away from West City. Even the farthest route takes only an extra day—"
He Tiantian knew they did not trust her judgment.
But, she would never reveal the cheat.
As the Grand Steward and commander, she should have the decision-making power.
He Tiantian wore a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Of course, we must hurry. West City sent an urgent call twenty days ago. Never mind a day, even one shichen arriving earlier can save more people!"
"Alright, no more talking about it, I’ve decided, we’ll take this route!"
"Or do the two generals think I’m a young junior who can’t make decisions?"
The final sentence was quite unkind.
If Liu Sheng and Wang Kui didn’t want to rupture relations now, they needed to cooperate.
Liu Sheng and Wang Kui exchanged glances, seeing the disapproval in each other’s eyes.
But they couldn’t really rupture relations.
Now, it was just about choosing a route to West City, not a major decision.
If they even defy the commander-in-chief over such trivial matters, it really wouldn’t be suitable.
As He Tiantian suspected, even if they were to discredit her, they would need concrete evidence.
Perhaps, this matter was a perfect opportunity!
If "He Tian" acted willfully and encountered Hulu ambushes in the valley, it would prove she had no leadership skills.
Later, this would become evidence for Liu and Wang to criticize "He Tian" confidently!
And "He Tian," feeling guilty, naturally wouldn’t dare to contest with them!
Liu Sheng and Wang Kui both lightly nodded, reaching a consensus.
"We will follow the Grand Steward’s orders!"
The two cupped their hands and responded loudly.
Thus, the group followed He Tiantian’s chosen route, sending scouts to explore while marching rapidly towards West City.
By noon, they reached the valley.
Liu Sheng quickly had scouts thoroughly investigate, not neglecting any suspicious area.
The result, perhaps "He Tian" had incredibly good luck, was no ambush in the valley.
Liu Sheng and Wang Kui didn’t know whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Passing through the valley, the troops continued their journey.
The way was fairly smooth, encountering neither enemy forces nor fleeing border citizens.
By late afternoon, He Tiantian finally led the troops to West City.
Upon seeing the state of West City, everyone drew a sharp breath.
They had arrived just in time!
West City was under heavy attack from Hulu forces, with corpses piled beneath the walls.
Even women and the elderly were brandishing weapons, fighting desperately to defend it. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Even from a mile or two away, the pungent smell of blood was noticeable.
The beast-like howls of the Hulu stirred the killing intent of He Tiantian and the Dayuan soldiers.
He Tiantian sat on horseback, scanning the Hulu camp and spotting a large flag.
Good!
She had a target!
He Tiantian took off the heavy bow from her back, drew an arrow, and nocked it to the bowstring.
With force, she leapt up, one foot on the stirrup, the other on the horse’s back.
Drawing the bow into a full arc, she released the arrow with a whoosh, sending it flying like a shooting star.
Clang!
It pierced through the flagpole from a mile or two away, causing the Hulu’s banner to fall instantly.
"The reinforcements have arrived!"
"We are saved!"
"It’s He Family Army! I see the ’He’ banner!"
"...The He Family Army has returned!"
A wave of enthusiasm swept over the city walls, while behind He Tiantian, Liu Sheng, Wang Kui, and others were dumbfounded...
