Cough cough cough…

After Li Jing captured the Huangpao Camp, he ordered his soldiers to search the Huangpao Camp inside and outside.

"Brother, everything has been cleaned up! Can we retreat now?" Li Xiao walked over with a smile.

Um!

Li Jing nodded indifferently, and then said: "Our army cannot retreat for the time being. We are standing at the Huangpao Camp. There should be 30,000 troops stationed there. But now, we have only killed more than 20,000, and there are still thousands of troops. Burning, killing and looting outside.”

"I don't think it's allowed for these beasts to harm the people again! What's more! I issued a military order to the king to destroy the 30,000 yellow-robed army. Now that there are thousands less people, the task has not been completed, and I cannot retreat. "

Li Xiaozhi understood, "Since the eldest brother wants to fight, the second brother will hold the two thunder hammers in his hands and clear the way for the eldest brother."

Indifferent!

It’s better to be your own brother! Li Jing was slightly moved, "Xiao Zhi, on the hour there are four thousand soldiers and horses. You and I, brothers, will fight from dusk to dawn. I, the officers and men of the Li family army, will be invincible!"

"promise!"

Li Xiaozhi immediately went down to organize his troops.

Li Jing, on the other hand, asked his deputy general to lead more than 600 Qin soldiers and escort 8,000 yellow-robed troops back to Mou County. In addition! More than three hundred corpses of Qin soldiers must be transported back to Mou County safely and intact and handed over to the King of Qin.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Bu Zhi's base camp is set up here, and the yellow robe army sent out to collect food must not be able to go far.

At this time, Mou County was peaceful and peaceful. Everyone was happy that they had won the first battle. Bai Qi and Zhang Han led the army and returned to the camp.

At night, Dongfang Yu held an emergency meeting.

Xu Meng, Liu Wenqin, Hu Xiaoyue, Yu Wenhu, Peng Tai, Ma Dai, Bai Qi, Zhang Han, and one more, Jia Kun, the governor of Mou County, who reported the situation in Wanzhou.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Kun's 50,000 troops in Wanzhou City, 30,000 troops in Lelang County, Qiao Le's 100,000 troops in Nanyang County, and the rest are scattered in all directions. There are yellow robes everywhere. There is another place thirty miles away from Mou County. The Huangpao camp has a total strength of 30,000 troops. This is the current situation in Wanzhou." Jia Kunhui reported.

Hahaha~

Jia Kun retreated to the back position.

There was a burst of laughter in the hall.

Jia Kun wondered why he was laughing. Could it be that he said the wrong thing.

Xu Meng said: "President Jia, you may not know something. The king has sent his generals Li Jing and Li Xiaozhi to attack the Huangpao camp thirty miles away. I guess there will be news before noon tomorrow."

Oh~

"That's it!" Jia Kun let out a breath, thinking he had said the wrong thing.

but! There are 30,000 yellow robes in the camp, and the army that is going to attack here should be tens of thousands!

At this time, the soldiers sent back by Li Jing to report the situation also sent back the news.

"Report! Report to your Majesty, General Li Jing's pre-war messenger!"

Dongfang Yu's eyes lit up, "Let him come in."

By sending people back so quickly, it's possible that the battle has been resolved.

"Meet the king!"

"Um!"

"How is Li Jing's situation?" Dongfang Yu asked calmly.

The soldier reported: "Your Majesty, General Li Jing led an army of 5,000. Within two hours, he defeated the enemy at the Yellow Robe Camp, annihilated 12,000 enemies, captured 8,000, and carried countless loads of food and grass. Three hundred and two of our troops died in the battle." Eleven people, the bodies have been transported back to Mou County."

Good guy!

This one is more powerful than the other!

"Where is your general now?" Dongfang Yu asked.

"The general said that there were originally 30,000 troops in Huangpao Camp, but only more than 20,000 enemies were actually wiped out, and there were still thousands of troops who were escaping! So! The general asked me to come back first. After explaining the reason, he led 4,000 troops. Soldiers and horses, go to pursue them."

Um!

"The army returns to camp first, you retreat first!"

"promise!"

Dongfang Yu and the other generals had expressionless faces, as if everything was as it should be.

At that time, during the battle at Beimen Pass, Li Jing defeated the Hurhuo army with 15,000 men, and his reputation spread throughout the grasslands. The combat effectiveness of the Liao Army is not comparable to that of the Yellow Robe Army. There is basically no comparison between a well-trained regular army and a motley army composed of ordinary people.

The combat effectiveness is naturally not on the same level.

The most surprising person was Jia Kun. Five thousand fought against 20,000, but only more than 300 people were killed. Could it be that! Is this the difference between the regular army and the local army?

Or! Is the world-famous Qin army really so powerful?

Jia Kun couldn't imagine that such a powerful army could defeat the Wanzhou Yellow Robe Army, only to be wiped out with a wave of their hands.

"Okay! Now let's talk about the prisoners, whether they should be killed or released, let's make up our minds!" Dongfang Yu glanced at everyone.

Bai Qi took a step forward and said: "Including General Li Jing's eight thousand prisoners, our army already has 14,000 prisoners. Before that, when the army set off, in addition to replenishing food for a month, our army If you don’t even have enough to eat for yourself, how can you feed these captives!”

Zhang Han also echoed: "Your Majesty, our army has intercepted a lot of food and grass, but for a long time, it is still not enough to feed a large number of yellow-robed prisoners. Moreover! Most of the yellow-robed prisoners are common people. They are weak in combat and are incorporated into the logistics. According to our army's training standards, it may not be able to march long distances, so the general thought! He should still be killed."

really! The logistics of the army is particularly important, especially the logistics support of the Qin army. Don't underestimate this small logistics army. In the Qin Army, the training intensity of logistics soldiers is almost the same as that of regular soldiers.

Most people are focused on killing.

But Liu Wenqin was different. He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that the captives should not be killed."

"Oh~"

"Why?"

Dongfang Yu squinted his eyes deeply and couldn't help but glance at him.

Liu Wenqin continued: "Firstly: Your Majesty doesn't want to kill, that's why you ask; Secondly: Most of the Yellow Robe Army are common people, and there are many young people. If Your Majesty can organize these people into an army, or escort them back to Beiliang , it is nothing short of a good thing for Beiliang."

"Third: Most of the yellow robe army is deceiving, and the king uses the army of justice to attack the rebellious army. He should use both soft and hard tactics. Kill when he wants to, for the purpose of deterrence; let go when he should, because of mercy. Under such a combination of soft and hard tactics, the yellow robe army Then you can’t really pay for your life for the Great Hua Sect…”

Is this kid looking good? To have such an insight, you are worthy of being the general I like!

really! If it is only for killing and killing everyone who surrenders, then the subsequent crusade will be difficult to implement. after all! Everyone is trying to survive, who is willing to die?

"Liu Wenqin is right, you must treat prisoners with both soft and hard tactics. You have to be careful."

"In addition, the crusade against Huangpao, I want to make an explanation. Before the army fights, those who can say surrender will surrender, but those who cannot change will be given a warning. Take the first time as an example. Anyone who refuses to surrender afterward will be killed."

"promise!"

It makes sense for Dongfang Yu to do this. The first pass is to give a warning and give the enemy a chance to surrender. If he passes the first pass and tries to surrender again, he will kill them all.

Otherwise, everyone can surrender without being defeated, without any deterrence or fear. Do you really think that the Qin Army’s camp is a massacre?
