Hearing Qin Cheng's words, Jing Qianying blushed instantly. She wanted to explain several times that she was not as fragile as her mother said, but she swallowed the words as they reached her lips. In the end, she just nodded her head with a blushing face and said: A voice smaller than a mosquito's hum: "Yeah."
When he learned about the tactics used by Qin Feng to attack Xiongying Ridge, the entire backyard was immediately flooded with sweet laughter.
With a smile on his face, Shen Qingci couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "This Feng'er is really as fantastic as ever. He can even think of such a method. I don't know what he has in his mind. "
Mrs. Qin Cheng held back her laughter and said angrily: "This brat knows how to do all these messy tricks and collect excrement... It's hard for him to reach the level of elegance!"
Although Qin Cheng was scolding, his heart and eyes were full of pride. After all, Qin Feng's capture of Xiongying Ridge this time was considered a feat.
"Qianying, according to the original plan, the pacification mission should arrive at the border now. Then Feng'er will not come back after capturing Xiongying Ridge, but will go straight to the capital of Beidi."
"Pack your things and go accompany Feng'er."
As soon as these words came out, Jing Qianying's eyes were full of surprise. She nodded heavily, then turned around and ran into the house to pack her things. She really didn't want to waste a moment.
Seeing this situation, Shen Qingci was very envious. After all, she also missed that brat. However, considering that this trip to Beidi would be dangerous, and Shen Qing could not carry it with his hands, it would definitely become a burden, so he gave up.
The news that Qin Feng had captured Xiongying Ridge quickly spread throughout the northern border.
The former general, who was reminiscing with King Ming, was stunned when he heard the news brought by his subordinates.
"What? So fast!"
"I remember that about ten years ago, Beidi harassed the border frequently. The border soldiers once launched a surprise attack on Xiongying Ridge. A total of 4,000 people were sent. In the end, they were defeated in less than half a day. Only more than 1,000 people escaped. People. From then on, no matter who is stationed in the north, they have no idea about Eagle Ridge."
"The fact that Marquis Qin was able to capture Xiongying Ridge is already incredible. Unexpectedly, it only took less than a month!"
"Your Highness Prince Ming, is this Marquis of Qin really the reincarnation of Wu Quxing as rumored?"
King Ming was also startled, and looked at each other with the General Hussars. In order to find out what was going on, King Ming quickly ordered the messenger to tell the story exactly.
After learning about Qin Feng's tactics, General Hussar couldn't help but shook his head: "Only the Marquis of Qin can afford such a war of attrition regardless of cost."
Upon hearing this, the former general retorted decisively: "This is not a simple war of attrition!"
"Although in the early stage, Qin Feng did invest a lot of materials, such as wood for building catapults, stones carved by craftsmen, and even transportation of corpses and kerosene, which cost a lot of money."
"But at the back, the things thrown into the fortress were basically the waste produced by the military camp every day, including feces and food waste."
"So after careful calculation, this war of attrition is not that expensive. The main capital expenditure is all on the food and clothing of the soldiers and horses."
"There were indeed examples of throwing corpses into the fortress in the past, but Lord Qin upgraded this strategy. Everything that could torture the defenders' spirit was thrown in, and he actually used the fortress as a latrine..."
Speaking of this, the former general couldn't help but laugh: "The Marquis of Qin not only conquered Xiongying Ridge this time, but also set a precedent for the battle of fortification. We can follow this method in the future. The siege of the city will definitely be successful." It’s half the result with twice the effort!”
After the former general's analysis, the Hussar General also nodded repeatedly, feeling that Qin Feng's capture of Xiongying Ridge was not just a simple strategic stronghold, but also set an example for all generals in the world.
Prince Ming already regarded Qin Feng as his godson, especially since Qin Feng spared no effort to send Li Lang back to the royal ancestral hall. The relationship between Prince Ming and the Qin family has naturally been further improved.
King Ming was naturally very proud of Qin Feng's feat, but he did not directly praise him, but pointed out the shortcomings of this method of warfare.
"The move of Marquis Qin only applies to military fortresses. The Eagle Ridge is impregnable, but after all, it is small in scale, and the dirt thrown in cannot be quickly removed. If it were a city, even just a county seat, this battle would The law will immediately fail. After all, the amount of filth produced by the county itself every day is already a very alarming amount."
"Every city has a fairly complete set of disposal facilities. Therefore, there is no universal tactic in this world. Any tactics must be adapted to the location."
The former general and the hussar general nodded repeatedly, feeling that King Ming's words were reasonable, and their worship of Qin Feng was no longer blind. And the two of them knew very well that since Prince Ming could point out Qin Feng's shortcomings without any scruples, it meant that the relationship between Prince Ming and Qin Feng had reached that point.
Whether their respective armies need to be attached to Beixi County or because of their relationship with Prince Ming, the eyes of the former general and the hussar general all reveal a touch of "loyalty".
…
On the wall of Eagle Ridge, Qin Feng and Ning Hu covered their faces with thick gauze. Looking at the unsightly scene inside the fortress, they didn't know whether to be happy or depressed for a moment.
Ning Hu felt nauseous, holding back the pungent and unpleasant stench, and complained: "If I had known this, I should have thrown away less things. Now it's okay, all the defenders have withdrawn, and this mess is left. It’s up to us to take care of it ourselves.”
"But then again, it's a miracle that these defenders can hold on for so long."
Ning Hu frowned frequently, feeling that if he insisted on holding on to such a city, he might as well just crash to death.
Although Qin Feng was also dizzy, he couldn't help but feel happy. After all, this ready-made fortress was completely "move-in ready". In addition, the Beidi army in the south has been almost wiped out. As long as they occupy this fortress, they can occupy the magpie's nest and make Beidi feel like a light on their backs!
As for the mess inside the fortress, it's not too troublesome.
At the worst, you can spend some money and hire a group of strong men from Beixi County. You only need to clean the inside and make some repairs before it can be put into use.
After all, even Qin Feng did not expect that Beidi would abandon Xiongying Ridge without hesitation.
Thinking about it now, Qin Feng must have supported Lu Ci and held high the banner of imperial authority, which seriously irritated the sensitive nerves of King Beidi.
So much so that the King of Beidi did not dare to act rashly for the sake of his imperial power, but instead allowed Qin Feng to take advantage.
And this also proves in disguise how "noble" Jing Qianying's identity is.
It seems that this trip to Beidi is going to be a great success!
