Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 710 Next Step

She washed her hands, took a few bites of porridge and rice into her mouth, ate it quickly, cheered up, and dragged her tired body to the meeting hall.

On the way, Ma Cao came to report: "Princess, the thousands of war horses we captured are wild and difficult to tame, and they probably cannot be used by our army."

Yu Qinghuan replied casually: "Slaughter them all and add some food to the brothers, but you have to pick out the lean meat and don't cook it yet. You can help me gather some people to help. After I finish the discussion, we will cook the meat with them." The meat is preserved by making it into dried meat, and can be added to the brothers’ meals from time to time.”

The battle lasted all morning, and Yu Qinghuan was busy treating wounded soldiers until the afternoon of the next day. At this time, he was sleepy and tired, but he still had to work hard to go to the meeting hall.

Baili Wuxiang was not around, and Yang Qian was discussing matters with the generals.

Just listen to Liu Xiaojie say: "The Northern Qi people are not taking back those corpses. Are they planning to wait for the corpses to decompose and disgust us?"

Bai Jie said: "Decomposing corpses will cause plague. Are they planning on this?"

Yu Qinghuan stepped through the door: "No, they just made us think that they were planning this."

Everyone stood up and saluted, and Yu Qinghuan made a gesture to indicate that there was no need to be too polite.

Yang Qian gave up his seat, and Yu Qinghuan sat down, raising the corners of his lips: "I know what they are planning to do."

Just after explaining the matter, Yu Qinghuan couldn't control his sleepiness. He leaned back in the chair and fell asleep instantly.

When everyone saw Yu Qinghuan sleeping soundly, instead of waking her up, they lowered their voices to discuss matters.

Finally, Liu Xiaojie called his concubine to change and comb the sleeping Yu Qinghuan's hair.

The common people who were called to help waited around but could not wait for the princess. After learning that the princess was so tired that she fell asleep, they did not leave in a hurry. They helped with some chores in the military camp and waited for the princess to wake up.

Baili Wuxiang finished his work and knew Yu Qinghuan's intention. He didn't bother to rest and taught everyone how to make horse meat into jerky on Yu Qinghuan's behalf.

Thousands of horse hides were stretched out to dry, and only after they were completely dry, they were sent to leather craftsmen's workshops to make water bladders and a series of military supplies.

Liu Xiaojie and Yang Qian are making arrangements according to the discussed strategy.

Talking about Yu Qinghuan, Liu Xiaojie couldn't help but praise: "The princess and Princess Chuanping are really alike, but she is better than her."

A look of pride appeared on Yang Qian's face: "Who said women are inferior to men? The princess has made much more contributions to this country than many ordinary people who claim to be capable, but she is also under more pressure than ordinary people. She has to shoulder more responsibilities than ordinary people and pay a greater price than ordinary people. Sometimes she really makes me feel ashamed."

Liu Xiaojie said: "Who would have thought that when the Yiyong Hou Mansion was destroyed more than ten years ago, she was just a baby tied behind the back by King Qi to protect me. Before I grow old, she has grown into a responsible adult. .Thanks to the prince for saving her!"

Yang Qian said: "I just hope that this time I can completely scare the Northern Qi barbarians so that they will never dare to covet a single cent of Da Qin's land. In this case, there is no need for a woman to bear all this."

Liu Xiaojie said: "Brother Sixteen makes sense, then we must go all out."

Shortly after nightfall that day, a group of people abandoned their horses and quietly walked to the foot of Guiyan City.

The night was dark, and only the crescent moon cast its cool, water-like rays, illuminating the clouds in a gloomy and gloomy way.

Countless black-armored soldiers tiptoed and approached the wall of Guiyan City.

Hidden by piles of corpses on the ground, and because of the dim light, the soldiers guarding the city were unaware.

The people in front have reached the city gate, while the people behind are still at the pass several miles away.

This was a long-planned raid.The thousands of elite soldiers in front all have special skills, including flying over walls and climbing over walls. They carry ropes and flying dragon claws with them. They just use these tools to sneak onto the city wall and kill the unsuspecting defenders with lightning speed. The city soldiers can open the city gate and welcome the troops from behind to enter the city.

They have reached the bottom of the city wall and are about to use their flying dragon claws to climb up the wall.

But no one noticed that on Da Qin's banner, a fleshy white dumpling was watching this scene with vigilance.

Suddenly, it hissed loudly.

The sound conveyed a signal to the soldiers guarding the city, and they lit the fireworks that had been prepared.

"Bang, bang bang, bang bang bang..." Gorgeous fireworks exploded into colorful colors in the air, instantly illuminating the shocked faces of the sneaky Northern Qi soldiers.

Taking this as a trumpet, the war drums sounded, and Liu Xiaojie's cronies were all on the hills on both sides.

Liu Xiaojie and Yang Qian were each on the same hilltop. They had already buried enough "fireworks and firecrackers" in the cracks of the rocks. When the soldiers on the city wall lit the fireworks, they also lit the long fuses and quickly withdrew into the city.

As the fireworks bloomed, loud roars were heard from the mountains on the left and right.

Suddenly, the mountains shook, and countless rocks rolled down from the mountains, hitting those Northern Qi soldiers who harbored evil intentions.

"what--!"

The screams kept coming and going.

The living lives had their arms and legs cut off under the beautiful fireworks, and were smashed to pieces by boulders.

In just a quarter of an hour, the smell of blood was strong, like walking into a slaughterhouse soaked in blood all year round.

Almost all of the eight thousand soldiers from Northern Qi who came to attack were killed on the spot.

After the earthquake stopped, they all fled towards the military camp.

Liu Xiaojie immediately ordered: "Don't chase the poor bandits!"

Da Qin once again won the victory, but they did not suffer any losses. Just when the "fireworks and firecrackers" exploded, dozens of soldiers who lit the fuses also failed to evacuate in time, and the boulders rolled down.

But compared to the sacrifices on the frontal battlefield, dozens of people fighting thousands of people, this is a beautiful battle in which fewer people win more!
By the time Yu Qinghuan heard the loud noise and came over, the fireworks had stopped and the war was over.

General Liu Xiaojie, who was dressed in gray, strode forward, cupped his hands and said: "Princess, I am so happy! We have won another beautiful battle!"

The joy of all the soldiers was beyond words. These successive victories pushed their emotions to a whole new level.

Yu Qinghuan nodded slightly and simply said: "Thank you for your hard work, general, and also for your hard work on the soldiers."

After all, General Liu was an old man. He did not think that the princess was just indifferent to her favors. Instead, he became worried because of Yu Qinghuan's indifference.

He put away his smile and said thoughtfully: "Princess, you predicted the Northern Qi people's next move correctly, and we also won a great victory. Why are you not happy?"

Yes, Yu Qinghuan had expected all of this, precisely because everyone had the same idea, believing that the Northern Qi people left the corpses to wait for the corpses to rot and infect the Qin soldiers with the plague.

That's why Yu Qinghuan speculated that the Northern Qi Dynasty might build a plank road to infiltrate Chen Cang secretly, use the corpse as a cover, sneak to the city gate, and launch a surprise attack on Guiyan City.
