Zhao Qingya led the way while Wu Tian followed the princess to the front of the soldiers.
"Great General, we can begin the ceremony.”Princess Zhao Qingya said after bowing to General Zhao.
At this moment, Great General Zhao was standing on the three-foot-tall general worship platform. He was extremely dignified.
"Today, I, Zhao Jinzhong, am the Commander-in-chief of the three armies. The Northern Expedition Generals of the Great Zhou Empire, you are all brave and invincible men of the Great Zhou Empire! Many soldiers have made extraordinary contributions in this battle. I will reward those who have killed the enemy according to their contributions. There should be many generals who have received rewards! Today, I have gathered the soldiers of the three armies to reward our brave General Wu Tian. Wu Tian, please come up to the platform." Zhao Jinzhong said to Wu Tian with a smile on his face.
Wu Tian turned around and nodded at the princess, Zhao Qingya. Then, he walked up to the platform with his head held high.
"Greetings, Great General Wu Tian.”Wu Tian knelt down on one knee and bowed to General Zhao.
"General Wu, please excuse me!" Great General Zhao Jinzhong raised his hand and helped Wu Tian up.
Wu Tian quickly stood up and looked up at the soldiers below the stage.
"Today, I will apologize to Wu Tian while he is still alive! It was my negligence to bury Wu Tian alive. Our General Wu has been wronged. Today, we will compensate him. Wu Tian was appointed as the vanguard general.”Zhao Jinzhong sincerely bowed to Wu Tianxing and announced loudly.
"This general thanks Great General for your kindness. This general will definitely do his best to fight on the battlefield and make contributions.”Wu Tian said loudly.
"Vanguard, vanguard!" The roar of the 150,000-strong army shook the mountains and rivers!
Amidst the jubilant voices, the ceremony ended.
Wu Tian arrived at the Vanguard Camp. Many soldiers were waiting for him.
"Greetings, General Wu. I have been waiting for a long time.”A mighty middle-aged general said loudly to Wu Tian.
"Generals, please wait here. Let's go into the main tent first and talk in detail!”Wu Tian quickly adjusted his state of mind. After adjusting his state of mind, he said to the few generals who were waiting here. He first opened the curtain of the tent and entered the tent.
"Generals, let's discuss our strategy and intentions! This is what I think. It's better to save the pain for a while. Let's set up an ambush. Look at the surrounding terrain. There is a long and narrow valley here. My army has set up ambushes on both sides of the valley and let their vanguard enter. Look here, they are going down the river. Here, here, these places are suitable for hiding people. We can set up ambushes in these places! If the army of the Qing Dynasty had no way to escape, they could be divided into several camps and wiped out one by one. Our vanguard unit has a total of 50,000 people, and the general commands 100,000 people. Our 50,000 men can be reduced to zero and split into dozens of teams. When the time comes, we will set up an ambush at these places and cut off the middle of their army like a snake. They couldn't take care of both ends. "It will definitely collapse." Wu Tian analyzed the situation and geographical location of the entire battlefield.
"General, what a good plan. Us boors really can't think of such a plan. In fact, if we had half of the general's wisdom earlier, we would have already broken through the Qing Dynasty. Why would we wait until now? The heavens have blessed the Great Zhou Empire to send such a wise general. In this battle, our army will definitely be able to wipe out the Qing Dynasty and establish supreme merits.”The middle-aged general praised Wu Tian.
"General Zhou, you praise me too much. Hehe, I'm not an intelligent person. I just have a thorough analysis of the battlefield. What do you think of her generals?”Wu Tian asked the generals present.
"We are willing to listen to General Wu's orders.”The generals answered Wu Tian without hesitation.
"Alright, since the Generals agree with my opinion, I'll go and discuss with the Great General on how to distribute our forces.”Wu Tian said swiftly.
"Alright, General, you go ahead. We'll go train our soldiers. At the same time, he counted the weapons, equipment, and food.”The generals said.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble all the generals.”After saying that, Wu Tian turned around and left the tent to look for General Zhao Jinzhong.
When Wu Tian found General Zhao, he saw that he was discussing something with Princess Zhao Qingya. When the princess saw Wu Tian enter, her expression changed and she asked Wu Tian what had happened! Why was he in such a hurry to find the Great General?
Wu Tian knew that Zhao Qingya was not an outsider, so he told General Zhao Jinzhong and the princess about his plan. After hearing Wu Tian's words, Zhao Jinzhong laughed out loud and praised Wu Tian for being extremely smart.
Wu Tian and the two of them discussed for a long time. After that, the three of them laughed happily and congratulated them in advance for their victory in this battle.
"Great General, then I will go down and assign tasks. Send all my soldiers to various places. Prepare to lay an ambush. Great General will cooperate with me to set up an ambush in several places.”Wu Tian said to General Zhao with a calm expression.
"General Wu, don't worry. I will definitely act according to the plan. This battle will definitely annihilate the Great Qing Dynasty and leave his 150,000 soldiers here. Destroy the Great Qing Dynasty." General Zhao said coldly.
"I will take my leave!" After Wu Tian finished speaking, he opened the tent and walked out of the general's tent.
After Wu Tian walked out of the tent, he hurriedly ordered the generals to follow the plan. The generals hurriedly followed Wu Tian's plan and distributed their forces.
The next morning, the three armies set out! The two armies faced off with great momentum like a raging storm!
Wu Tian, as the vanguard general, led the charge.
" Kill..." Wu Tian led 30,000 troops towards the army of the Qing Dynasty.
The other 20,000 soldiers had already split up and were lying in ambush on both sides of the valley and in the reeds along the river.
On the battlefield, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Wu Tian's aura was unstoppable. He did not know what was going on. Was Wu Tian's combat strength too strong, or was it something else? Every general that Wu Tian faced was knocked to the ground by Wu Tian's spear, screaming in pain. On the battlefield, the army of the Qing Dynasty was unable to resist and was chased in the direction of the valley. When the army of the Qing Dynasty entered the valley, countless ambushes appeared on both sides of the valley.
The ambush soldiers in the valley drew their bows and nocked arrows, raising their bows to shoot. The army of the Great Qing Dynasty suffered countless casualties and won the first battle. The rest of the Great Qing Dynasty's army did not come in the direction of the valley. Instead, they fled to the riverside.
Just as the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were about to cross the river, many soldiers suddenly charged out from the reeds. Their shouts shook the sky, and the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were like birds startled by the twang of a bow. They were terrified. Many people were shot to death by the Great Zhou Empire's army. The rest could only kneel down and surrender.
"Reporting to Great General, our troops have captured over thirty thousand surrendered soldiers of the Great Qing Dynasty.”One of the generals rushed to General Zhao and knelt down.
"Reporting to Great General, our troops captured 20,000 troops?”
"Reporting to Great General, our troops captured 500 men?”
"Reporting to Great General, our troops captured 13,000 troops?”
"Reporting to Great General, our troops captured 14,000 troops?”
"Reporting to Great General, our troops captured 20,186 troops?”
"Reporting to Great General, our troops have captured over 30,000 troops?”
……
Every general who came to report brought good news.
"Great General, I have captured about twelve enemy soldiers. Please decide how to deal with these surrendered soldiers.”A thirty-year-old scholar handed the battle form to General Zhao for him to read.
"Not bad. This battle was beautifully fought. Wu Tian is truly a genius. He destroyed an army of 150,000 with just one plan. We also need to minimize the damage to our army. Right now, we still have around 140,000 soldiers. There are about 120,000 surrendered soldiers. What should we do? This is beyond our ability to withstand.”Great General Zhao was thinking about what to do.
"Great General, it's bad. The surrendered soldiers are all in an uproar. They said,"We won't give them food to eat. What should we do?" If there is a mutiny, then we can't suppress so many people. There are too many surrendered soldiers. Please make a decision as soon as possible.”A panicked young general ran into the tent and said anxiously to Great General Zhao.
"What? How dare you mutiny? You're simply courting death. Men, gather your troops and follow me to the surrender camp.”Great General Zhao hurriedly stood up and rushed outside, giving orders to his personal guards as he walked.
When Great General Zhao walked to the surrender camp, Wu Tian was speaking at the scene.
"Brothers, please listen to me. I am the Great Zhou Empire's vanguard general, Wu Tian. Our general is actively trying to solve the problem of food. You and I are fighting for our country! The Great Zhou Empire is generous and merciful. You have your families too. We have our families too. Why don't we come together? Brothers, why don't you join our Great Zhou Empire for real? I can bring you to find enough food. Think about your family. I know some of you are unwilling, but do you know? Your Great Qing Empire is on the verge of destruction because our Great Zhou Empire has already sent out three armies to attack your Great Qing Empire. I will soon carve the Qing Dynasty into the world, so I promise you again. If we unify the Qing Dynasty, we will definitely protect your families. You can stay with your families. Those who are willing to be soldiers can stay, and those who are unwilling can leave.”Wu Tian said confidently.
The tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers started whispering.
"How can we trust you? You are just a vanguard general. We won't believe you unless your general comes out to speak.”Gao Jin said loudly among the surrendered soldiers.
"Alright, you guys wait here. I'll go find the Great General and report the situation. There will definitely be a very good result. Can you make trouble?”Wu Tiantian chuckled and said to all the soldiers who surrendered.
"Don't worry, I am the Great General of the Qing Dynasty. I have been captured by you today, but I have considered the lives of my soldiers, so I will make them listen obediently.”General Gao's sharp gaze swept across all the soldiers. All the soldiers were still discussing! He immediately stopped.
After Wu Tian saw that the discussion had stopped, he turned around and was about to look for General Zhao. When she turned around, she suddenly realized that General Zhao had already arrived.
