Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 762: Chapter 597: The Unscrupulous Little Bun

Since ancient times, the Southern Border, with its poor mountains and rivers, has been known to the world as a place easy to defend but hard to attack!

Yet, this year, the Southern Border has encountered an extraordinary figure!

This person is Gu Changsheng!

The fall of Red Sun Valley signaled that half the land on the outskirts of the Southern Border had fallen into her hands, which could have been acceptable, but she, with a mere party of ten, penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Southern Border and swept through the territories of the Miaosu Clan on the outer edge of the hinterland with an unstoppable momentum!

The name of Miaosu City was changed, eight subordinate cities fell, and the hinterland of the Southern Border plunged into great chaos!

However, at this very moment, the Great Swamp Mountain, the center of power in the Southern Border, was in complete disarray. Xiangka Tianji, looking at one battle report after another, did not know how many teacups she had shattered, but Gu Changsheng’s offensive was too rapid, leaving her no time for reinforcements!

“What did you say? Heluo City is under siege? Where did the siege come from? Gu Changsheng, that bitch, has only about a dozen people. Tell me, where did the large army come from to lay siege?” Xiangka Tianji’s face turned pale, and she didn’t hesitate to smash a teacup onto the forehead of the kneeling Xiangka Song.

A streak of fresh blood trickled down from Xiangka Song’s forehead in no time.

As the King of the Southern Border, Xiangka Song didn’t even have the courage to wipe it off and promptly kowtowed, “Ancestral Aunt, please calm your anger!”

“Calm my anger? You still have the nerve to ask me to calm my anger? You’ve always been in charge of the affairs of the Southern Border—is this how you govern it? In just a few months, you let that bitch Gu Changsheng invade the hinterland of the Southern Border, and now she’s even pressing toward Great Swamp Mountain!” Xiangka Tianji’s body, wrapped in her Witch Robe, quivered with rage, her old face nearly splitting with fury as she pointed at Xiangka Song and scornfully yelled, “Are you planning to hand over the Southern Border to her Phoenix Clan?!”

“Ancestral Aunt, I wouldn’t dare! It’s just that Gu Changsheng came on so fiercely. The cities she passed by surrendered without a fight. Before our reinforcements could arrive, she had already taken the cities!” Xiangka Song’s face, bloodied, spoke in terror.

Xiangka Tianji glared at the kneeling Xiangka Song, her heart aching with frustration, and slumped into her chair, speaking in a tone of defeat, “Never mind, never mind, the emissary I sent to Southern Chen has returned news. Southern Chen’s army of a million has already advanced into Bashu. In no time, that bitch Gu Changsheng will be caught between two fires. She will definitely call back her troops to defend, and we will have the urgent situation in Heluo City resolved.”

“Ancestral Aunt, those besieging Heluo City are neither Gu Changsheng’s Dark Night Army nor Xia Ruyan’s Northern Great Camp!” Xiangka Song, upon hearing this, hurriedly interjected anxiously.

“What are you saying?” Xiangka Tianji asked in disbelief, rising from her chair, “How is that possible? Under that bitch’s command, isn’t there only the Dark Night Army and the troops of the Northern Great Camp? If it’s not them, then where do the troops besieging Heluo City come from?”

Under the pressure of Xiangka Tianji, Xiangka Song’s body shook, he swallowed hard before speaking, “The troops come from Cangmi City and seven other cities! They had only recently merged with Gu Changsheng’s forces, and surprisingly, they amassed an army of two hundred thousand to attack Heluo City!”

“Two hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? How could that be?” Xiangka Tianji, upon hearing this, slumped back into her chair once again.

How could the newly captured cities so easily move their troops?

She didn’t believe it! She just couldn’t believe it!

“Ancestral Aunt, they are only surrounding us and not attacking. According to Gu Changsheng’s temperament, she won’t act unless she’s ready, but once she does, Heluo City will surely be in grave danger!” Using his knees to move forward, Xiangka Song crawled up the steps, stammering as he reached out, clutching the hem of Xiangka Tianji’s dress, pleading, “Ancestral Aunt, Heluo City is only a thousand miles away from Great Swamp Mountain. If Heluo City falls, Gu Changsheng will truly be within reach of Great Swamp Mountain! Please make a decision quickly, Ancestral Aunt!”

“Heluo City has three hundred thousand defenders, four hundred thousand citizens, a total of seven hundred thousand soldiers and civilians—that’s more than three times the number of that bitch Gu Changsheng’s forces. Even with such odds, they can’t hold the city?” Xiangka Tianji shouted sternly.

“They can’t hold it! Ancestral Aunt, let alone three times their numbers, even if they doubled that, they might still not have the strength for a battle. They simply can’t stop the earth-shattering momentum!” Xiangka Song, on his knees, climbed the steps and grasped the hem of Xiangka Tianji’s dress, pleading, “Ancestral Aunt, if Heluo City falls, Great Swamp Mountain will be undefendable! Ancestral Aunt, the Phoenix…”

“Shut up!” Hearing the word Phoenix, Xiangka Tianji’s face drastically changed, she threw Xiangka Song off, stood up and, waving her sleeves, said, “I will ask the Three Palaces to send troops this instant! If a tripled force doesn’t suffice, I want to see if a force thirteen times that will do! I swear I will tear that bitch into a thousand pieces!”

“Ancestral Aunt is wise!” Xiangka Song, upon hearing this, immediately sighed in relief.
