Chapter 629 The battle is over
"Ah? But what if the other party attacks?"
The commander was dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, they don't dare."
After Zong Wenfu finished speaking, he turned and left without further explanation.
"Do as the counselor says. Let the soldiers not be too vigilant and eat and drink as they please."
The commander hesitated for a moment, then gave the order.
Although he was the main general, he was from Dayu, while Zong Wenfu was a general from Tianlang.
Since the four major countries had previously been restricted from directly intervening in wars between smaller countries, Zong Wenfu only held the position of a counselor in order to avoid attracting attention.
But the orders he received were to follow Zong Wenfu's arrangements, which roughly meant that he was not allowed to have his own opinions.
In this case, even if his camp was attacked or he missed the opportunity to fight, as long as he did what Zong Wenfu said, he would not be blamed.
But if he disobeys, he will be guilty.
However, in order to avoid any risk, he still asked his personal guards to be on high alert. If the enemy really attacked, he had to ensure that he and Zong Wenfu would not die.
But things turned out to be completely different from what he expected, and Zong Wenfu's prediction was actually correct.
For a full twenty days, Zong Wenfu asked him to send 500 elite soldiers to challenge the enemy every day, while the remaining soldiers rested in the camp.
After twenty days, military discipline had become extremely lax.
The patrolling soldiers hid under the shade of the trees and chatted, while the resting soldiers went around catching game.
But even so, the city gate was still closed, with no intention of opening.
If it weren't for the Daqian soldiers on the city wall standing ready for battle, he would have thought it was an empty city.
However, after eating and drinking, the commander began to worry again.
There was indeed nothing wrong, but if we continue like this, wouldn't it be a waste of food and money without achieving anything?
If the Ningchuan Army fought bloody battles, captured Qingzhou County, and fought all the way to the capital, but failed to destroy Daqian because they did nothing, would the Heavenly Wolf King blame him?
Although he was ordered to be a puppet general, so it wouldn't go wrong as long as he did so, but in the rage of the Heavenly Wolf Emperor... there was no telling what he might do.
Zong Wenfu is a man of great talent, he will definitely not die, so it is not impossible to use him to vent one's anger.
No, we have to go and persuade the clan's counselors. At least we have to pretend to attack the city to let the Sirius Emperor know that we have tried our best, right?
Although Zong Wenfu is capable, he is still too young.
Thinking of this, he hurried to Zong Wenfu's tent, but was dumbfounded when he arrived.
The tents disappeared and the soldiers around them were packing up their things.
"Hey wait, what are you doing?"
The commander stopped a soldier who was dismantling a tent and asked.
"Commander, the clan counselor has given the order, pack up and prepare to leave."
The soldier said with a guilty conscience. Although the entire army was led by Zong Wenfu, it was inappropriate to pack up without receiving the order from the commander.
But the commander did not intend to blame him, and continued to ask:
"why?"
"I do not know."
The soldier replied, looking confused as well. Fighting this war is like taking a vacation.
"General, I was just about to look for you. Please give an order for your men to pack up and return home."
Zong Wenfu came to his side at some point and started talking.
"Huh? No more fighting?"
There was a question mark over the commander's head.
"Why fight? How can we fight when things have become like this? Ningchuan Kingdom really can't handle anything well. It's a good thing we didn't send troops, otherwise we would have lost a lot."
As he spoke, Zong Wenfu took out a secret letter and handed it to the commander.
The commander hurriedly opened it and saw a line of words written on it:
[The Ningchuan army of 100,000 attacked the city for seven consecutive days. The Qingzhou army suddenly came out of the city to fight, killing a total of 35,000 enemies and capturing more than 40,000. Most of the remaining people threw away their armor and fled. Lu Jin died in the battle, and Lu He fled with dozens of soldiers. The total loss of the Qingzhou army was less than a thousand people. ]
After reading this string of words, the commander was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell? A hundred thousand soldiers, 35,000 dead, 40,000 captured, the deputy general died in battle, and the main general escaped with dozens of people?
If he remembered correctly, Qingzhou seemed to have only 30,000 people. With Jian Bai's 10,000 cavalry, it was only 40,000.
He could understand why Qingzhou could win this battle. After all, Lin Xiaofan, Jian Feng and Jian Bai had joined forces to defeat a coalition force of 200,000 before.
But that battle also resulted in the deaths of more than 20,000 people, so it can be said to be a tragic victory.
In this battle, less than a thousand people died.
Looking at Zong Wenfu again, he didn't look surprised at all. Considering his decisions in the past few days, it seemed that he had expected this.
that's the truth.
Zong Wenfu knew from the beginning that Ningchuan Kingdom was going to suffer a crushing defeat.
He knew Lin Xiaofan's strength. There was a reason why he was ranked in the top ten of the God Generals List. His strategy was even better than his. To deal with Lu He, it was simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Besides, he had seen Jian Feng and Jian Bai before. And the princess Feng Sheng beside Lin Xiaofan was also good at martial arts. His best friend Yuan Wu died at the hands of these people.
In terms of generals, Daqian had a complete crushing victory.
Besides, he had also fought against the Qingzhou Army and the Yantian Army. Compared with the troops under his command, they were stronger, not weaker.
There is also that explosive thing. Once this thing comes out, the entire Ningchuan army will probably be in chaos.
As for the difference in numbers, a mob would be a joke no matter how many people there were. When he destroyed the Three Kingdoms before, he had less than 200,000 troops. Almost every country in the Three Kingdoms had more than 100,000 troops, so the difference in numbers was not big.
But after so many battles, the three kingdoms were completely destroyed, but his troops only lost 40,000 to 50,000.
He was still a little surprised when he heard about the casualties. Only losing a thousand men was a little too outrageous.
Even if he were to play, he would never be able to do this.
"Anyway, this battle can't be fought, so pack up and go back."
Zong Wenfu said.
A secret letter was also delivered to the city.
Zhao Zihan trotted all the way to the general's residence with a smile on his face:
"Uncle Chen, my master and his men won. They lost a thousand men and horses, but they routed the 100,000-man army."
Chen Tian hurried forward, took the secret letter in his hand, and read it over and over again. His expression changed from surprise at first to ecstasy later.
"Haha, you are worthy of being my son-in-law. Not to mention a hundred thousand troops, even if there were another hundred thousand, it would not be enough for him to fight."
After the two of them were ecstatic for a while, Zhao Zihan thought about it carefully and said:
"I seem to understand why the Dayu army outside has not attacked the city."
Hearing this, Chen Tian thought for a moment and an idea popped into his mind.
The other side had already known that Ningchuan Kingdom could not invade, so they were reluctant to move troops.
On the contrary, if the enemy moves and fails to capture the city, they will suffer heavy losses. If they capture the city, even if they fight all the way to the heartland of Daqian, they will be quickly destroyed by Daqian.
The other general could think of so many things, he must be an extraordinary person. If I were to send troops, it would be dangerous.
