Chapter 1490

Most of the barbarians put down their weapons and knelt down on the spot.

The barbarians were all gathered in a corner of the city wall with their backs to the stone wall, and were watched by soldiers with bows or guns at a distance of more than ten steps.

Although the wind and snow had stopped, it was still winter in the Northland after all.

If one night passes, there may be people who freeze to death.

The conversation between An Ning and the barbarian king needs to reach a conclusion before sunset—— Yun Feng thought so.

Cheers should have been heard outside the city wall...Although the nearly [-] barbarians who stayed outside did not surrender, they kept a certain distance from the city wall and gathered together on the mountainside.

It is easy for cavalry to pursue, but it has been prohibited in advance.Instead, let them convey that the representatives of the barbarians want to talk to the commander of the empire.

So far, the plot is the same as what Yunfeng remembers.

Most disturbing is the possibility of massacres.

If the barbarians did not surrender, the imperial army that might encircle them would start a unilateral massacre.It's not a rare thing, but Yunfeng wants to avoid it both emotionally and strategically.

It was good that sacrifices were kept to a minimum on both sides, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Yun Feng expected, the follow-up troops of the barbarians appeared in a short while.

Merging with the troops outside the walled city, he watched this side considering how to act──but he continued to stay where he was neither attacking nor retreating.

As if waiting for the outcome of the conversation.

The end came in a tense atmosphere.

"Hey, Yunfeng!"

Ajie, who returned to the central tower, charged forward with a momentum reminiscent of a cavalry assault.

"Ah, yes..."

Yun Feng was writing a combat report on the table in the meeting room.Originally, a special person should be in charge, but because all the civil servants of the border company were driven away by Ajie, there was no one who could be in charge.

An Ning and the others went back to the dormitory to change into the clothes they used to talk to the barbarian king.You can't meet people with your left hand hanging by a bandage.

Ajie brought his face closer to his eyes.

"What happened to that battle!?"

"...Um... because it would be very difficult to chase after them if they scattered and fled in the snowstorm."

"So let them enter the city wall!? The barbarians let them jump over the city wall! Will they become the laughing stock of neighboring countries!?"

"It doesn't matter, just because the commander is a 14-year-old princess, he has already been teased enough."

"That's even worse!"

Yun Feng said in a gentle tone as if reassuring: "This is not bad, isn't it, let them underestimate the enemy as much as possible. Making the opponent misjudge the strength is one of the most effective strategies in terms of both offense and defense."

"I see. It does seem like a tactic from you who like to show off your cleverness. But you missed one thing."

"what is it then?"

"I, hate being underestimated!"

"...This, this way"

Not thinking about this, Yun Feng scratched his head.

I thought that being angered was because of the danger of using the city as a trap, but it turned out to be a matter of restraint.

Sure enough, reality will not proceed as written in the book.

It's not so much that he feels uneasy about his talent as a military adviser, it's better to say that Yun Feng can only feel uneasy.

"Speaking of which, it looks like a barbarian king has been captured. Why don't you kill him?"

"That's why Her Royal Highness wanted to talk to him."

"Talk? Is the princess an idiot? The barbarians are just hanged or made slaves."

It's not sarcasm or bad words, it's the tone of really wondering if there is something wrong with his head.

Although Yunfeng thinks that barbarians are not beasts...but he still realizes that such values ​​belong to a minority.

This is also a bet to get close to the too distant goal.
