Chapter 1462: Don’t be a gentleman on the battlefield

sunset.

A bloody battle also came to an end.

Although this was a battle between less than 10,000 people and an army of 15,000, there was no suspense thanks to Yun Zheng's meticulous arrangement.

The Daqian army quickly ended the battle with a crushing force.

Yun Zheng had no chance to lead his troops to charge and could only stand above the valley and watch the fun.

"What are you looking at? It makes me look like I'm hurting you!"

Facing Yun Zheng's resentful look, Miaoyin was immediately dissatisfied.

Yun Zheng laughed and said to himself: "It seems that I will become a Confucian general in the future."

It is estimated that he will never have the chance to lead troops to charge into battle again.

"Look at you like this!"

Miaoyin pouted, but soon put on a smiling face again: "We can have some meat tonight!"

"Oh?"

Yun Zheng lowered his voice and smiled evilly: "What kind of dirty talk?"

Miaoyin was stunned for a moment, then she reacted and glared at Yun Zheng in embarrassment and anger.

This bastard!

What a shameless talk!

If you don't know, you might think that I'm in the army to warm her bed!

Looking at Miaoyin's appearance, Yun Zheng, in a good mood, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Ah!

It’s time to eat some meat!

These yaks, mules and horses can be kept to help carry some things.

There is no need to keep these sheep!

We can eat roasted whole lamb tonight!

Yun Zheng was in high spirits after winning the battle, and he immediately called a guard over: "Tell everyone, we're going to have meat tonight! Just consider it a celebration for everyone!"

"Yes!"

The guards roared and immediately ran to pass on the message.

Without Yun Zheng's orders, the soldiers automatically divided into four groups.

One group of people was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, one group was responsible for slaughtering sheep and seriously injured horses, another group was responsible for collecting firewood nearby, and another group was responsible for setting up the tents captured from the enemy.

Tonight, we finally don’t have to sleep outdoors.

When it was dark, Lin Ji came to report the battle results and losses.

The enemy's 15,000 troops suffered more than 7,000 casualties. Except for a small number of people who escaped in the chaos, the rest were captured.

Daqian also suffered nearly 700 casualties.

Upon learning of his own casualties, Yun Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with the results of the battle, their casualties were actually very small.

But their casualties could be smaller.

The main thing was that in the end he directly ordered the soldiers in ambush to rush down and fight with the enemy, wanting these soldiers to see more blood and thus achieve the purpose of training troops.

A force that relies solely on ambushes and sneak attacks is doomed to fail in winning a tough battle.

"Should we still follow the old rules for the seriously wounded enemy soldiers?"

Lin Ji asked Yun Zheng again.

"nonsense!"

Yun Zheng glared at Lin Ji and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, hand over all the prisoners, seized supplies and our wounded to the infantry for escort. Let's rush to Gongbu first! Tell the escorts to do it cleanly!"

"Yes!"

Lin Ji obeyed the order.

……

The next morning, Yun Zheng led only his personal guards to Gongbu.

After a day's march, they finally met up with the army besieging Gongbu at dusk.

Upon learning that Yun Zheng was coming, the generals who were discussing tomorrow's siege strategy were stunned for a moment, and then quickly went out of the camp under the leadership of Xiao Dingwu to welcome him.

Not long after they walked out of the tent, they saw Yun Zheng who had brought Miaoyin into the camp.

Before everyone could salute, Yun Zheng raised his hand to stop them: "Don't bother with these things on the battlefield, let's go into the tent first!"

"Yes!"

Everyone took the order and surrounded Yun Zheng and Miao Yin as they walked towards the big tent.

"How come you came so quickly, Your Highness?"

Xiao Dingwu asked Yun Zheng curiously.

"I only brought my personal guards with me!"

Yun Zheng smiled, "The troops behind are escorting prisoners and supplies."

"captive?"

Xiao Dingwu was stunned, and asked in surprise: "Your Highness has led his troops to defeat the enemy's reinforcements?"

"Nonsense! How could we come here if we hadn't defeated them?" Yun Zheng smiled, "That enemy force was smart enough to be ambushed by us, and they even sent us a lot of supplies."

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, the generals couldn't help but look shocked.

This...is it over already?

Isn't this too fast?

Why does it feel like the enemy is made of paper?

According to Xiao Dingwu's previous judgment, Yun Zheng and his men would probably not be able to engage in battle with the enemy until tomorrow.

As a result, Yun Zheng not only destroyed that enemy force, but also arrived at his side today.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves!

Looking at Yun Zheng's expression, Xiao Dingwu knew without asking that this would definitely be another big victory.

It’s a damn thing that if you compare yourself with others, you will die, and if you compare goods, you will throw them away!

Yun Zheng sat down and immediately asked, "Are you discussing how to break into the city tomorrow?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Dingwu nodded.

Yun Zheng looked up at everyone and asked, "Where is Qin Qihu? Didn't he discuss this with you?"

"no!"

Xiao Dingwu shook his head and said, "General Qin is stationed at the east gate with his troops to confront the enemy's other reinforcements."

"Confrontation?"

Yun Zheng was surprised, "Qin Qihu didn't take the initiative to lead his troops to attack?"

This is not in line with Qin Qihu's character!

"no!"

Xiao Dingwu replied: "The enemy camped in a narrow area, which is not conducive to the deployment of cavalry. General Qin wants to wait until the enemy can no longer sustain the attack and then launch an attack on them!"

"I see!"

Yun Zheng suddenly realized and asked, "Have you come up with a plan to break into the city?"

“There are some directions, but they haven’t been finalized yet.”

As Xiao Dingwu spoke, he reported the plan they had agreed upon to Yun Zheng.

Currently, they are two options.

First, continue to besiege Gongbu and keep putting pressure on King Fa Qiang to force him to open the city and surrender.

Second, use the explosive packs given to them by Yun Zheng to blow up a section of the enemy's city wall, and join forces with Zeng Guang's troops to launch a full-scale attack directly on Gongbu City.

They haven't decided which plan to use yet, so they haven't sent anyone to report to Yun Zheng.

"Have you sent anyone to speak to King Fa Qiang in the city?"

Yunzheng asked again.

"not yet."

Xiao Dingwu shook his head.

Yun Zheng thought for a moment and smiled, "Tomorrow I will personally lead people to speak to King Fa Qiang and give them three days to open the city and surrender. After three days, if they refuse to open the city, I will summon thunder to turn Gongbu City into a scorched earth!"

Thunder?

After listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Highness, is it okay to shout like this?"

Xiao Dingwu asked tentatively.

Yun Zheng laughed, "Isn't there a rumor in Xiqu that I can summon thunder to help in the battle? Then let's use this to scare them! If it works, it works. If not, forget it!"

"Is there still this?"

Xiao Dingwu laughed in silence, and immediately said, "I think that giving the enemy three days to surrender is too long. How about giving the enemy one day to surrender? What do you think, Your Highness?"

"Why are you so honest?"

Yun Zheng looked at Xiao Dingwu with a smile, "We said we would give them three days, do we really have to give them three days?"

Ok?

Xiao Dingwu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Your Highness, do you want to paralyze the enemy? Let the enemy relax their guard?"

"Correct!"

Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, then said seriously: "On the battlefield, let's not act like gentlemen! We can talk about credibility after the battle!"

Xiao Dingwu nodded and cast a grateful look at Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng is really teaching them how to fight step by step!
