Chapter 168 A War With Zero Casualties
Seeing the King of Beixian being shot and killed by Lu Chen, Xiao Pengtian suddenly felt a chill go down his back.

It was exactly as he thought...

The strange stick-like weapon in King Bei's hand was as terrifying as Thunderbolt.

Although King Beixian is older, he is still a master!
A grand master, who didn't even see the face of the enemy, was killed so far away.

terrible!
terrible! ! !

At this time, Xiao Pengtian was a little lucky. Fortunately, he had already taken refuge in the North King. If he had a wrong mind when he left Beijun to return to the Sirius King Tribe last time, he would directly become the king of the Sirius King Tribe and bring Tian The wolf king's tribe ran away and didn't come to Beijun.

Then in the future, maybe he will meet Bei Wang's army on the battlefield, and then the Bei Wang will shoot him like this.

Thinking of the huge bloody hole in King Beixian's chest, Xiao Pengtian felt a tingling pain in his chest.

He didn't want to be bombarded by these terrorist weapons in North County anymore.

At this time, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Xiao Pengtian and said, "General Xiao, I will trouble you to clean up the mess."

After hearing Lu Chen's voice, Xiao Pengtian recovered from the shock, and he half-kneeled quickly and said, "I obey!"

Since Xiao Pengtian joined Beijun, Lu Chen recruited some barbarian soldiers from the Sirius King tribe. There were not many of them, but there were seven or eight thousand.

Many of the 8000 people are scouts, mainly to help Lu Chen control every move of the entire northern grassland, but there are also 5000 light cavalry.

Xiao Pengtian has already taken refuge in himself anyway, he can't leave no soldiers to Xiao Pengtian, how can he be loyal to him if he is a bare general, so the five thousand barbarian light cavalry Lu Chen is handed over to Xiao Pengtian God led.

Lu Chen also noticed that Xiao Pengtian and the five thousand barbarian soldiers always wanted a chance, a chance to show their loyalty to themselves.

Originally, Lu Chen could directly let the black cavalry rush in to end the battle, but in the end Lu Chen decided to give Xiao Pengtian and the others a chance.

Only when their hands are stained with the blood of the barbarians can they feel at ease, and it can also reassure other people in Beijun. At that time, these barbarian light cavalry can be more easily integrated into the army of Beijun.

After receiving Lu Chen's order, Xiao Pengtian jumped up and jumped off the city wall, and then led his [-] light cavalry directly to the army of King Beixian.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall had stopped throwing thunderbolts, and the infantry phalanx of Beijun began to surround, but the black cavalry led by Wen Renlie and Xuanyuanchen did not enter the battlefield.

The black cavalry led by them stood guard at the gate of the city, watching everything that happened in front of them indifferently.

The soldiers of the king of Beixian saw that their king was dead, and the soldiers of Beijun had surrounded them. They were all pale with fright and at a loss.

At this time, they saw a light cavalry rushing out in the distance. As soon as they saw this light cavalry, the barbarian soldiers of the king of North Korea knew that they could not escape.

Seeing that the [-] barbarian light cavalry led by Xiao Pengtian were about to come into direct contact with the barbarian army of the North Korean king, a barbarian general of the North Korean king suddenly said loudly: "We surrender!!! Don't kill me!!!"

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian's horse almost didn't stop. He was about to swing his knife, but the other party said he surrendered? ? ?

After hearing the words of the barbarian general, the other barbarian soldiers came to their senses instantly. They quickly discarded the weapons in their hands, then got off their horses and knelt on the ground.

This! ! !
Xiao Pengtian was suddenly furious.

It stands to reason that the surrender of the barbarians is a great thing for Beijun. After all, they can reduce casualties and save people from dying.

After all, it was a war. Regardless of whether the advantage on the battlefield was great or not, as long as it was a personal battle, people would definitely die. In the last battle in the Wanning River Valley, even though Beijun gained such a big advantage, tens of thousands of people died.

If the army of the North Korean king had not surrendered, not to mention tens of thousands, it is certain that thousands of people would die anyway.

As the ruler, Lu Chen was certainly happy to reduce such a large number of casualties all of a sudden, but Xiao Pengtian and the five thousand light cavalry led by him had a bad face.

Grandma, they were planning to kill the barbarians to show their loyalty to the king of the north, but these guys surrendered.

If they surrendered, how could their hands be stained with the blood of the barbarians to show their loyalty to the Northern King?
Xiao Pengtian looked at the barbarian general in front of him with a dark face. Although he was very unhappy, Xiao Pengtian still said: "You have made the right choice!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Pengtian snorted coldly, and then said to the soldiers behind him: "Clean the battlefield!"

Seeing that the barbarian soldiers put down their weapons, Mu Changtian and others on the tower could not help but sigh.

This is the change in warfare brought about by gunpowder.

If it was before, even if the barbarian army of the 10,000+ King of North Korea was surrounded, they would definitely struggle desperately and find a way to break out of the encirclement.

But it's different now. After being bombed by Hong Tianlei, they only have fear in their hearts, and there is no will to fight there.

Such a big war ended with zero casualties in Beijun.

If this kind of victory is reported, the court will definitely not believe it.

Not to mention that the imperial court would not believe it, even the soldiers of Beijun standing on the tower felt like they were dreaming now.

This is an army of 10,000+ barbarians!
As a result, none of them died!This has never happened in history.

At this moment, Mu Changtian came to Lu Chen, and asked, "My lord, how should I write this battle report?"

If the battle report of zero casualties reaches the court, the court officials will definitely not believe it, so don't think too much about it.

If they believe it or not, let’s not talk about it. If the court really knows that they have zero casualties, they will definitely try to find out how Beijun managed to face a 10,000+ barbarian army with zero casualties. This is not a good thing for Beijun.

So this battle report is not so easy to write.

Hearing Mu Changtian's question, Lu Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "I stripped off the clothes of those barbarian soldiers, and replaced them with clothes worn by soldiers from Beijun."

Speaking of this, Lu Chen turned his head and said to Jin Yiwei Qianhu, "Go to Yancheng and ask Lin Xiuming to bring [-] cavalry from the imperial court to Tianguang City in half a month, and say that the war is very tragic and we need their help."

"Yes, my lord."

As soon as the words fell, that Jinyiwei Qianhu left the tower.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and the others were a little confused, what does the prince want to do?
At this moment, Wen Renlie and Xuanyuan Chen jumped directly from the horses outside the city and onto the tower.

At this time, Lu Chen said to Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie again: "General Xuanyuan, General Wen Ren, you directly bring [-] heavy cavalry to escort these barbarian captives back to the Yancheng garrison."

Xuanyuan Chen and Wen Renlie immediately said: "Yes, my lord!"

Lu Chen continued: "The king of Beixian led an army of 20 to go south, and this king led [-] black cavalry to fight fiercely with the barbarian army. More than [-] black cavalry were killed and injured, and countless ordinary soldiers were killed or injured. In the end, this king struggled to defend Beijun. Wang led the remnants back to the grassland."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone immediately understood Lu Chen's intentions. Lu Chen was planning to conceal the military situation!
Everyone look at me, I look at you.

Others concealed the military situation because they wanted to report their military exploits to the sky, and they wanted to say that they had killed hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers.

But they concealed the military situation, and instead wanted to fake a large number of casualties of their own soldiers.

At this time, Lu Chen sighed and said: "If there are no enemies in Beidi, the life of this king will be difficult in the future."

Having said that, Lu Chen glanced at the barbarian captives of the North Korean king in the distance.

The tribe of the Sirius King in the north is gone, and now the army of the King of North Korea has also been defeated, and now there is no big enemy in Beijun.

If there are no enemies in Beijun, does Beijun still need 15 troops?
Once they reported that the King of North Korea had been destroyed by them, the next thing the court had to do was to find a way to reduce the number of soldiers in Beijun.

Therefore, the achievements of this battle must not be reported truthfully.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and the others understood what Lu Chen meant.

Indeed, if Beijun had no enemy, the King of North Korea, or the threat of barbarians, the army of 15 soldiers in Beijun would become a thorn in the court's eyes and flesh. In the future, the court would try to reduce the number of troops in Beijun.

Of course, they can also choose to hide the army and conceal the number of troops, but Lu Chen doesn't intend to be so troublesome, even if he hides it again, as long as there are no enemies in Beijun, the court's attention will be on him.

Other people's attention is on you. No matter how much you hide the number of troops, it is useless. The best way is to let those people in the imperial court who are full and have nothing to do do not keep staring at the army in Beijun.

Now that it is reported that [-] heavy cavalry soldiers have died in Beijun, the court will definitely not think about the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry in Beijun.

Even if their heavy armor is still there, it takes a lot of time to train heavy cavalry. It doesn't mean that you can exert the combat effectiveness of heavy cavalry if you put on heavy armor.

Coupled with the fact that there are barbarians in the north, the imperial court will naturally no longer pay attention to Beijun, and it won't be long before people will shift their focus to other places.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "My lord, Lin Xiuming may be able to tell that those people wearing Daxia clothes are barbarians."

Mu Changtian thought that Lu Chen changed all the clothes of the corpses of the barbarian soldiers, and then asked Lin Xiuming to bring an army of [-] to clean the battlefield and clean up the corpses.

If this is the case, wouldn't Lu Chen's plan be exposed.

Although the barbarians and the Bactrians look similar, they are slightly different. People like them who have fought against the barbarians can tell at a glance whether this person is a barbarian soldier.

Although Lin Xiuming is young, he has fought several battles with the barbarians in the Northland. Even if he strips off the barbarian's clothes, he can still recognize whether this person is a barbarian.

If Lin Xiuming noticed this, and then he wrote a battle report and sent it up, wouldn't Lu Chen's plan come to nothing?

Hearing Mu Changtian's words, Lu Chen said with a smile: "General Mu, you don't think that this king asked Lin Xiuming and the imperial court's [-] troops to collect the corpse?"

Mu Changtian was taken aback for a moment?
Is it not?
If Lin Xiuming, the general sent by the imperial court, were not allowed to see the dead in person, how could anyone believe their battle reports?
Mu Changtian thought that Lu Chen deliberately asked Lin Xiuming and the imperial army to clean up the battlefield, and then let them know that many of their soldiers died.

Lu Chen said lightly: "Don't bother, just bury all these corpses."

"The king asked Lin Xiuming to come here, just to let the court know that the situation in Beijun is not optimistic."

"The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and there is snow everywhere. Lin Xiuming brought [-] troops from the imperial court to come to Tianguang City. It is impossible without ten days and half a month. In addition, this king asked Lin Xiuming for half a month. Come to Skylight City later, it will take Lin Xiuming a month to reach Skylight City."

"When they arrived at Tianguang City, the bodies of these barbarian soldiers had already been frozen into lumps of ice. How could they be allowed to clean up the battlefield? At that time, they want to verify whether the battle report from Beijun is true or not. Let them dig their graves. I don't care. It is believed that the corpses that have been buried for a month can still be seen as the corpses of barbarian soldiers."

Although winter came, the decay rate of the corpse would become very slow, but the corpse buried in the soil would eventually undergo some changes.

At that time, if Lin Xiuming and the others really ran to dig the graves and found the corpses of the barbarians, the surface of the corpses had been damaged or contaminated with soil. There was not much difference between the barbarians and the Daxia people. If they really dug the graves The corpses of the barbarians were dug up, did Lin Xiuming dare to say that they were the corpses of the barbarians?

Moreover, human death is a big deal, not to mention that these soldiers were all from Beijun in name and died fighting for Daxia. How could Lin Xiuming dare to dig their graves.

At this time, Lu Chen turned his head to Wen Renlie and Xuanyuan Chen and said, "When the two generals are escorting the barbarian captives back to Yancheng, try to march at night, so as not to let the people of Yancheng notice your actions."

Xuanyuan Chen said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will disguise these barbarian captives as the original barbarian captives in Yancheng, so that they look like they were sent to mine."

Hearing what Xuanyuanchen said, Lu Chen was relieved, and he continued: "By the way, remember to take off the heavy armor when you go back, so as not to be seen by others."

Xuanyuan Chen said: "Yes, my lord."

Lu Chen immediately said: "Okay, that's it, let's each do our own thing."

After Lu Chen's words fell, Mu Changtian and the other generals returned to the soldiers they were leading to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

half a month later.

A restaurant in Xuanyue Palace.

Lin Xiuming sat in the private room of the restaurant, drinking a small wine alone, watching the heavy snow outside the window.

As a general supporting Beijun to resist the barbarians going south, he has no idea what is going on in Tianguang City now. He feels that he is traveling at public expense to see the snow scene in Beijun.

Lin Xiuming sighed. If he were to lead an army to fight Dawu, he would not know how many military exploits he would have made.

Let him come to Beijun, what a shame.

There is Beiwang's heavy cavalry in Beijun, and he is still needed there.

Just as Lin Xiuming sighed, a mature woman's voice sounded behind Lin Xiuming.

"I've wronged you for letting you come to Beijun. I come to the restaurant to drink every day."

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming turned his head and saw that it was actually Lin Wanyun.

Lin Xiuming asked curiously: "Sister Yun, why are you still in Beijun? Hasn't the owner of Xuanyue Palace already gone back?"
