Chapter 269 Arrival at Boyang City
"Take a shower! You've been traveling for eight days straight and you're so dusty. How can you not take a shower? And you're a woman, and you're so untidy.
This prince likes Sister Xiang, not Sister Chou."
Shen Changgong had a naughty smile on his face, which was bright and charming.
Fairy Meiyan narrowed her eyes and said playfully,
"Of course you have to take a shower. A woman is taking a shower, and what are you, a stinky man, doing standing here? Why don't you get out now?"
"What are you talking about? This is my tent. Where are you asking me to go?"
"Then I'll go out and wash?"
"There are hundreds of thousands of men out there. Are you sure you want to go out and shower?"
Fairy Meiyan walked up to Shen Changgong, stretched out her white jade-like fingers, lifted Shen Changgong's chin, and said,
"Stinky little brother, you mean that sister can only show you and not to other men?"
Shen Changgong directly put his arm around her waist and said with a smile,
"This prince's woman can only be enjoyed by this prince. It would be a crime for other men to even look at her."
"Really? Then when my sister came today, your hundreds of thousands of troops saw me. You went and killed them all."
"Forehead……"
"Tsk, do you really think I'll fall for your overbearing tactics? Your tricks are just for coaxing little girls. I, your sister, don't want to hear them."
As she spoke, Fairy Mei Yan took off her clothes and threw them to the ground one by one. She did not show any shyness at all, but only the generosity of a mature woman and the unrestrainedness of a chivalrous woman.
Of course, there is another reason, which is that this stinky little brother has seen it many times.
It’s no different this time.
She entered the tub, gently splashing water and scrubbing her body.
Behind her, a certain Lao Liu who didn't follow martial ethics suddenly attacked her, hugged her from behind, and said with a smile,
"Sister, can I help you wash?"
"Tsk, you little rascal, you have no good intentions again, do you?"
"Sister, you have bad intentions, don't you? You came all the way here just to wipe out the Mieyan Society?"
"What else? Could it be that he missed you and came to see you?"
"Isn't it?"
"Haha, family and national affairs, how can we tolerate sentimental relationships? Who said that the greatest heroes serve their country and their people? I came here for my country, to destroy the enemy, not to entertain you."
"I understand, it's just a side note, right?"
“Not incidentally.”
Suddenly, Fairy Meiyan widened her eyes and asked,
"Why did you come in too?"
"I can't take a shower?"
"How can we wash together?"
Shen Changgong didn't say anything, but used his mouth to block the other person's hard yet soft mouth.
I don't know why, but today the water in the bathtub keeps gushing out, and I don't know what's happening.
……
The next morning, the army set out again.
During these two days, the Kun army has really become obedient. They no longer come out to dig holes and all of them hide in their various camps.
The 400,000-strong army was distributed between dozens of camps and two cities, stretching for dozens of miles. It seemed that they were planning to set up a defense line to fight against the Yan army.
Their military strength and combat effectiveness were inferior to those of the Yan army. Logically, they should have assembled in formation and defended themselves with a tight military formation when fighting against the Yan army. This would have allowed them to avoid being scattered and give them a better chance of survival.
But the Yan army had artillery, and the more people there were, the more people would be killed. Dispersing themselves and using human wave tactics, forming a military formation composed of small teams, could also minimize the power of the artillery.
Of course, the Kun army can also enter the city to defend and engage in a melee with the Yan army in the city. In this way, no one will have a military formation and they can just fight randomly.
But it still doesn't work.
Firstly, there are hundreds of thousands of civilians in Ziyang County. Once the Yan army sets up artillery and bombards indiscriminately, more civilians will be killed or injured.
Secondly, a large-scale melee can only be fought by individual soldiers, and it is impossible to command them. These recruits will only be defeated faster.
Thirdly, breaking a city has the greatest impact on morale.
Taking all factors into consideration, although deploying troops in the desert is not a good idea, it is the best solution Nie Bei can come up with.
Unless he does not care about the lives of the people and forces a fight in the city.
As Shen Changgong walked, he carefully investigated the intelligence of Kun's army and understood its tactics. At the same time, he continued to send people to observe the number of troops in each camp in detail.
Those camps have about 10,000 people each, more or less, pretty much.
When they arrived outside Boyang City, the city gates were closed and there was no one on the city walls. There were only the flags of Kun Kingdom, but no army of Kun Kingdom.
"He's playing the empty city trick on us. He knows he can't hold the city, but he still locks the city gates to disgust us. This is the extent of Nie Bei's generosity."
After learning the news, Shen Changgong sneered and immediately sent a corps with ladders to open the city gate.
The army entered the city, walked through the streets, arranged city defenses, set up camp, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people.
After all, it was a small city and could not accommodate 500,000 people, so a camp was set up outside the city.
Arriving at the deserted City Lord's Mansion, the Southern King asked,
"How can you be sure that there are no troops in the city? What if the enemy sets an ambush in the city?"
Shen Changgong said,
"If Nie Bei was willing to fight in the city, he wouldn't have led his troops into the desert.
I think this man is a good general who loves his people like his own children. He came from a low-income family and rose to prominence step by step through his military achievements and real talents.
Moreover, this person has a good ability to adapt to changing circumstances. After learning about our artillery, he immediately came up with a countermeasure in Qiuxin County.
This forced us to take a detour through Ziyang County.
This time in Ziyang County, although he was forced to do so, he also used the best method.
This forced our army to do the same as them and only carry out corps-to-corps combat plans.
If we can capture this person alive, we should try to see if we can persuade him to surrender."
Yu Huatian said on the side,
"Nie Bei is indeed quite formidable. If it weren't for the Kun Kingdom's nobles being in power, he would have already been the commander-in-chief of an army.
Although he had made military achievements, he only became a general. If there were no powerful people willing to come and lead these cannon fodder local army recruits, it would not have been his turn.
No one wants to fight a losing battle or take the blame."
At this point, Shen Changgong suddenly looked at Yu Huatian and said,
"General Yu, you personally write a letter to Nie Bei persuading him to surrender, and make our position clear to him. As long as he is willing to surrender, not only will we not kill him, but we will also entrust him with important tasks, lead him to overthrow the Kun Kingdom court, and make him a marquis and a general.
In addition, I will focus on writing about how much the Southern King and I value his tactics and talents.
Anyway, you just praise him to the skies, saying that the Southern King, you, Lao Guan, and I are all ashamed of ourselves.”
Yu Huatian smiled and said,
"I understand. I'll write it down when I get back and send it over."
"Yes, whether he believes it or not, at least we should make our attitude clear and say we are willing to accept him."
