Chapter 114 Let the imperial army clean up the battlefield

Seeing that the Beijun soldier in front of him was covered in blood, the blood on the armor was still wet, and the armor on his body was covered with knife marks, it looked like he had experienced some kind of war just now.

Lin Xiuming's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Beijun was really fighting the barbarians before they entered the city?

Lin Xiuming didn't think much, he jumped up and jumped directly onto the city wall of Beijun.

As a result, as soon as Lin Xiuming jumped onto the city wall, he saw barbarian corpses all over the ground in the distance outside the city wall, and there would be countless big pits for a while.

The deaths of some barbarian soldiers and horses were particularly horrific. Their limbs were almost torn apart, organs were all over the ground, and the land outside the city was stained red with blood.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiuming was stunned.

He even forgot to walk in front of Lu Chen and salute.

From this, it can be seen that there was indeed a big battle before the imperial army entered the city.

And judging from the many corpses left by the barbarians, the barbarians should have been repulsed by the defenders of North County.

Lin Xiuming was extremely astonished. He really wanted to know how so many barbarian soldiers died, and it seemed that those barbarian soldiers died before they even got close to the wall of Yancheng.

Especially those big pits on the flat ground made Lin Xiuming very puzzled. What are those pits for?
Of course, the surprise is the surprise, but Lin Xiuming still doesn't think it's true that the North County soldiers killed 20 barbarian soldiers and captured [-] barbarian troops.

Lin Xiuming took a deep breath to calm himself down quickly, then looked up into the distance.

At this time, a young man in golden armor was standing on the top of the wall, looking into the distance. Lin Xiuming had seen Lu Chen before, so he recognized Lu Chen at a glance.

However, for some reason, Lin Xiuming always felt that Lu Chen's aura seemed to give people a very unusual feeling, and his whole temperament had undergone a great change.

When Lu Chen married the princess, he also attended Lu Chen's wedding banquet. At that time, Lu Chen didn't have such a temperament at all.

Lin Xiuming walked towards Lu Chen quickly, and when he got close to Lu Chen, Lin Xiuming suddenly understood why he felt that Lu Chen was different.

It turned out that Lu Chen exuded the aura of a warrior, and he had a heavy murderous aura on him. An ordinary warrior would have to kill a lot to have such a strong murderous aura.

The King of the North is actually a warrior?
How can this be?

Lin Xiuming felt even more confused. The Northern King he saw in the capital was completely a waste, a person who had no strength and was not good at practicing martial arts. How could he be a warrior?

The key is that Lin Xiuming feels that Lu Chen's strength is not weak, at least he has reached the realm of a half-step master, and even Lin Xiuming, a master, feels a little pressure in front of Lu Chen.

Lin Xiuming immediately saluted and said: "See the prince, the subordinates failed to come to Beijun in the first time, please punish the prince."

Lu Chen didn't turn his head, his gaze was fixed on the north. At this moment, he said lightly, "Punishment? No, no, General Lin, you came in time."

The battle last night killed 20 barbarian soldiers, and now the entire Wanning River Valley is full of corpses of barbarian soldiers and horses, although Lu Chen also thought about letting those captured barbarian soldiers carry the corpses and clean the battlefield.

But those barbarian soldiers were captured after all.Lu Chen was very worried that they would have other thoughts.

So this did not allow them to clean the battlefield, but the battlefield needs to be cleaned. If there are so many corpses of barbarian soldiers and horses left in the Wanning River Valley, a plague is likely to appear.

What's more, there is also a Wanning River in the Wanning River Valley. There are so many corpses on the riverside, polluting the entire river. When the time comes, where will Yancheng get water from?

These corpses must be dealt with. Since the barbarian soldiers can't deal with them, Lu Chen still wants to let the soldiers of Beijun or mobilize the common people to deal with them. He just sent people back to the city to announce the results of the battle, just to mobilize the common people.

But now that the imperial court's [-] army has arrived, the common people are no longer needed, and it is just for the [-] army to clean up the battlefield.

It's all here, what if I just go back like this without doing anything.

At this time, Lu Chen continued to say to Lin Xiuming: "General Lin, I will leave the cleaning of the battlefield to you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment.

Cleaning up the battlefield?

Have all the barbarians retreated?
Lin Xiuming immediately asked: "My lord, has the barbarian army retreated?"

Hearing this question, Lu Chen just said lightly: "You will understand when you go out of the city to clean the battlefield."

After Lu Chen heard that the imperial army was coming to Yancheng, he only brought a few people back. Now the soldiers from Beijun are still cleaning up the battlefield outside Yancheng. After Lin Xiuming and the others go out, they will be able to know what's going on outside.

Now tell Lin Xiuming the result of this war, I am afraid that Lin Xiuming will not believe it, so let them, let the imperial army go out and have a look in person.

Lu Chen had already ordered the artillery battalion to retreat the howitzers just now, and now even if Lin Xiuming and the others went out, they would not see the howitzers as weapons.

As for the heavy cavalry.

It's nothing for Lin Xiuming and the others to see. After all, Beijun has achieved such a great result, and there must be a reasonable explanation, otherwise it will make people even more suspicious.

Heavy cavalry is a good explanation.

When Lin Xiuming and the others saw the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in Beijun, they would most likely think that Beijun's victory was due to these heavy cavalry.

This will make it easier to hide the howitzer. As for whether the heavy cavalry will arouse the fear of the court, that is an inevitable thing.

However, Lu Chen also knew that now the court and his father had no intention of dealing with him, the feudal lord of the North County, and Emperor Xia's focus was still on cleaning up the court and cleaning up the aristocratic family.

Before the aristocratic family is not eliminated, it is unlikely that he will do anything to the prince.

What's more, the imperial court issued an order to expand the army. As a vassal king who can recruit up to 15 soldiers, it is no problem to raise a cavalry, right?There is nothing in the military expansion order that prohibits the formation of cavalry units.

At this time, Li Feng came to the tower.

Seeing that the general who came was Lin Xiuming, Li Feng was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself that it was good that General Mu had also returned just now, otherwise it would be troublesome if Lin Xiuming and the others found out later.

Li Feng saluted Lu Chen and said, "See you, my lord!"

Lu Chen turned his head to look at Li Feng and said, "General Li, I will trouble you to lead General Lin and the others to clean up the battlefield."

"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back first."

Li Feng immediately said: "Yes, my lord!"

Then Lu Chen turned around and left.

Looking at Lu Chen's leaving back, Lin Xiuming was stunned, then he looked at Li Feng beside him and said, "General Li, has the barbarian army retreated?"

Lin Xiuming still has some impressions of Li Feng. After all, Li Feng was Mu Changtian's right-hand man in the Huben Army before.

Hearing Lin Xiuming's question, Li Feng said with a smile: "General Lin, the barbarians are not just repulsed by us. After you leave the city for a while, you will know that under the leadership of the prince, our soldiers from North County have won What a success."

Lin Xiuming frowned slightly when he saw that Li Feng was also showing off.

Not only did he doubt, could it be that Beijun really achieved great results this time?
Could it be that they were lucky enough to kill an important figure in a barbarian royal court?
