"Your Majesty, all twenty-seven heads are here. Please tell me!"
After the execution, He Junan led a group of soldiers slowly into the tent. All the soldiers held a bloody human head in their hands.
"Give me these heads to hang on the camp gate, beat the drums and order the troops!"
With this bloody lesson as a foundation, all subsequent actions will of course be much simpler.
As for the vacant positions of captains, Liu Deng naturally began to arrange his own personnel.
In fact, Liu Deng had already thought of the current result.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come with such a big fanfare.
The sound of war drums sounded again, and tens of thousands of soldiers in the entire military camp began to gather quickly.
With these heads as a deterrent, what happened next was surprisingly simple.
In almost no time, all the 50,000 troops were under Liu Deng's command.
Although there is still no way to achieve the state of using one's arms and fingers, there is no problem in following orders and prohibitions.
In one day, twenty-seven generals, big and small, were killed.
And this was not during wartime. Such a big thing happened, which made Liu Dingguo's hatred for Liu Deng reach its peak.
But to jump out and fight Liu Deng at this time, he doesn't have the confidence.
After all, he is only the Crown Prince of Yan now, not the King of Yan.
Even Liu Dingguo endured it, but what could the rest do?
But when the people of Yan Kingdom got the news, they were really happy and excited.
For the common people, having an army that is sure to conquer and win is the result they most want to see.
It only took three days for the entire Yan army to take on a completely new look.
After Liu Deng asked for a large amount of food and grass again, he finally led his army and set off.
Bailang County is named after Bailang Mountain outside the city.
It is one of the 16 counties in Youbeiping County, with a population of less than 100,000. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a vast land with sparsely populated areas.
Although King Yan Liu Jia was not mediocre, he was definitely not a wise master.
In addition, there are actually no special products in Bailang County, so the lives of the local people are still relatively poor.
On weekdays, even in the county seat of Bailang County, the streets seem deserted.
But now, thanks to the Wuhuan people moving south, the county seat of Bailang County has become overcrowded.
The nearby people rushed to escape into the city. Although doing so was not of much use, it could at least give them some psychological comfort.
At this moment, in the Wuhuan camp, they were enjoying their rich spoils.
Bailang County is in sight soon, and sure enough, the further south you go, the more prosperous the nearby villages become.
The gains in the past few days have almost opened the eyes of these Wuhuan people.
Compared with them, who were impoverished and destitute, the lives of the Han people were obviously much easier.
All kinds of living supplies were continuously snatched into the camp by them.
Although they had discarded a large number of them on their way south, they still couldn't help but want to pick them up when they saw things like iron pots.
There is nothing that can be done about it, because iron tools are so rare in the deep mountains and forests.
"Your Majesty, let's attack as soon as possible. The nearby villages are already so wealthy. If we can attack Bailang County, we don't know how much food and grass we can harvest!"
The victories in the past few days have made these Wuhuan generals very optimistic about conquering Bailang County.
But Tuoba Lie didn't dare to think so. Bailang County was different from other places.
White Wolf and Pingquan, the two county towns are shaped like horns.
They are stuck on both sides of the road. If they choose to attack one of them, they must be careful whether there will be reinforcements from the Han army behind them when they attack the city!
Although going south to plunder was the most common mobilization method used by the Wuhuan people, as a king, he could not think about burning, killing and looting.
"Look carefully at these two cities. These two cities are stuck on both sides of the road. If we attack one of them, we must be careful. The other one will send troops to help. If we are not careful, we will be attacked from both sides!"
"Your Majesty, are you worried too much? These Yan people are as scared as frightened quails. Do they dare to come out to fight with us?"
"Hahahaha, that's right, Your Majesty! Do you think there is any decent Han Chinese on our way south this time?"
Successive victories have gone to their heads, so much so that now they don't take the Han army to heart at all.
"Shut up, everyone. We are approaching Jicheng. After passing the White Wolf, the front of Jicheng is almost undefeated. Do you really think those Han people will let us attack the city so easily?"
Tuoba Lie angrily slapped his whip on the table in front of him, and the Wuhuan generals immediately did not dare to say anything anymore.
After a long silence, the Wuhuan generals finally calmed down.
"Your Majesty, what do you think we should do next?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's up to you. We will do whatever you say."
The generals of the Wuhuan people are all brave and superhuman. There is absolutely no problem in letting them use their swords to kill others, but if you want to let them use their brains, then forget it.
"Let the brothers have a day off today. We will start preparing to attack the city early tomorrow morning. Once we start, there will be no pause. We must not give them any time to breathe."
Seeing that one and two of them finally started to get serious, Tuoba Lie also spoke word by word.
The terrain on White Wolf's side is indeed dangerous, but if they can break through it, the benefits to them will indeed be huge.
Although they are not good at attacking cities or making siege equipment. However, the siege equipment harvested from the previous counties were enough for them to use.
As long as the soldiers are not afraid of death, Tuoba Lie is still very confident in breaking through Bailang County.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If anyone dares to escape, I will be the first to chop him alive."
"Very good, go down and get ready!"
In any case, their contempt was finally dispelled, which made Tuoba Lie feel relieved.
However, just opposite them, in the county seat of Bailang County, Zhang Hui's life was not so easy!
After all, Bailang County is just a county.
The garrison here is really very limited. Even these days, he has been constantly recruiting people and organizing the people in the city to strengthen the city.
However, the total number of soldiers who can actually go on defense is only five thousand.
As for the Wuhuan people outside the city, anyone who is not blind can see it, and there are at least 50,000 of them...
