At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 408
Belin shook her head and said, "Well, it's a bit cruel..."

After a while, he suddenly asked back: "In this situation, do you have a better way?"

Mei Chun pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head.

"Let's go!"

Belin patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Mei Chun was still in a daze, staring at the Kongming Lantern flying towards the sky with her eyes until she was completely lost in the night.

At this moment, he was a little confused.

Is what I have devoted my whole life to pursue, good or bad?
The advancement of science and technology has brought great convenience to people's daily life, and at the same time, it has also changed the situation of war.

Who would have thought that a small Kongming lantern would wipe out the enemy in an instant.

Today's situation has already exceeded his original intention of studying sky lanterns...

However, he firmly believes that the emperor is always right!
So... don't think about it anymore, the mission is over, return to Beijing and return to order.

In the early morning of the next day, the scouts of the Ming army began to go up the mountain to check for news.

King Ning and Yu Qian waited overnight in the city of Yazhou. They were ordered to put up an offensive posture on the front line, mainly to cooperate with the Academy of Sciences and gather and wipe out the enemy.

During the whole process, King Ning was in a daze.

He didn't believe that only a hundred or so scholars, plus a few hundred large Kongming lanterns, would be able to solve Uzang, which his tens of thousands of troops could not conquer for a long time.

Maybe... these high-tech gadgets can act as a deterrent?

These days, he is still worried, because the daily consumption of the frontline army is astonishing, and if one more day is delayed, mountains of money and food will disappear out of thin air.

He even thought about whether he would voluntarily give up Uzang...

In any case, the sound of the explosion last night, as well as the flames all over the sky, brought him some small surprises, but he didn't know how effective it would be.

"Report-"

The scout Pegasus reported: "The enemy's camp was on fire, and countless people were burned to death!"

"countless?"

King Ning was startled for a moment, and then asked: "How much is countless?"

"The small ones are not clear. At a glance, they have all been reduced to ashes."

"You mean... the entire enemy camp was burned down?"

"That's right, it's all burned down."

King Ning was surprised and delighted at once, but there was still some doubt in his eyes.

Yu Qian stepped forward and asked, "How about the enemy's casualties?"

"It's not clear yet, but the little one brought back a prisoner."

King Ning hurriedly said: "Quick... quickly bring it up!"

A ragged captive with blackened hair was brought forward.

This person was already scared out of his wits, he took two steps tremblingly, and fell to his knees with a thud.

King Ning asked, "Can this man understand Chinese?"

"I understand, I understand!"

The prisoner kowtowed like garlic, and said in blunt Chinese: "When the railway was being repaired, I, I went..."

"That's good, tell me, what happened?"

"Apparition, apparition..."

"What apparition?"

"Buddha appeared, and many... many flying stars fell from the sky, and then exploded, and there was a big fire, and there was fire everywhere..."

Although this person can speak some Chinese, he is not proficient in it. He stumbles when he speaks, but he can express himself in a consistent manner.

King Ning and Yu Qian looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes at the same time.

"Then... what happened?"

"Fire, it's all fire, it's like Avici Hell...all dead..."

King Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Pass on the order of this king, go up the mountain!"

At this moment, he couldn't hold back the tears.

God bless Daming!
Those scholars, with hundreds of Kongming lanterns, really solved the problem!

I really can't even think about such a thing!

The Ming army began to gather, and entered the mountain in batches, and arrived at the camp of the Uzbek army.

When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they were completely stunned.

As far as the eye can see, everything is reduced to ashes...

It wasn't until sunset that the results of the battle were counted.

"...The enemy camp was completely destroyed. More than [-] corpses were found, most of which were beyond recognition, and there were more than [-] wounded and disabled. They all gave up resistance and knelt down to beg for surrender. There were also scattered fleeing people, the number of which is unknown..."

King Ning took a deep breath, the casualties exceeded [-] last night!
He knew all too well what that number meant.

On weekdays, although the Ming army had an absolute advantage in combat effectiveness, it was very difficult to fight on the plateau, and the opponent was familiar with the terrain, so they ran away if they couldn't beat them, which was a headache.

In many cases, even if they win, they cannot be annihilated.

Because of this, he and King Chanhua fought to the death for almost a year, killing only a thousand enemies.

More than 2, not counting those who escaped!
After this battle, King Chanhua's main force has been completely defeated, and it is extremely difficult to regain strength.

Next, the Ming army can drive straight in and take control of Uzang.

The small Kongming Lantern has such terrifying fighting power!
Thinking of this, King Ning couldn't help laughing, and said to Qian: "It's really a great achievement, and this king and Yu Shangshu are also honored!"

Yu Qian immediately heard the implication of these words, how can he be honored?

This Prince Ning lost the emperor half a year ago and was so scared that he peed his pants, why didn't he have a long memory?

You brought [-] soldiers and horses and were unable to attack for a long time. The Academy of Sciences only came with a hundred people, and the battle was resolved overnight. What does it have to do with you?
Could it be that, seeing the great military exploits made by the Academy of Sciences, what else do you think?
"What do you mean by your highness?"

King Ning smiled mysteriously, and said: "Yu Shangshu is asking the question knowingly. There are only a few hundred people in the Academy of Sciences, can they deserve such credit?"

"Your Highness is going to ask the emperor for credit?"

"My king's soldiers and horses have been fighting fiercely with the enemy for several months. The enemy's soldiers are exhausted and on the verge of collapse. Last night, they cooperated with the Academy of Sciences to launch an air strike to wipe out the main force of the enemy army in one fell swoop. Next, they will drive straight in, and Uszang will officially return to the army. It has entered the territory of Ming Dynasty!"

King Ning is different from other generals, he has no shortage of credit.

Because he has no room for promotion, no matter how much meritorious service he makes, can he still give up the throne to you?

However, the last time the rebels assassinated him, he lost all face and even almost lost his life, so he was eager to show it and make up for it.

This time the enemy army was defeated, just a little wording in the memorial, and taking the credit for himself, it would be an unworldly achievement.

Of course, the first credit still has to be given to the Academy of Sciences, just a little more careful wording.

But Yu Qian waved his hand and said: "Your Highness and You Rongyan, the lower officials will not get involved. Now that all the resistance has been cleared, His Highness should enter Tibet as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. The lower officials have returned to Beijing to return to their orders."

King Ning changed his face, and said, "What does Yu Shangshu mean?"

"It's nothing interesting. The Kongming Lantern air strike tactic is the emperor's idea. I don't dare to take credit for it. Please leave!"

After Yu Qian finished speaking, he walked away directly.

King Ning's expression suddenly changed, and he froze on the spot.

The emperor's idea?
So, is he going to compete with the emperor for merit?
forget it!
