Chapter 114 Let the Imperial Army Clear the Battlefield

Seeing the Beijun soldiers in front of him covered in blood, the blood on their armor had not yet dried, and the armor on their bodies was covered with knife marks, it looked like they had just experienced a war.

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

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

As a result, as soon as Lin Xiuming jumped onto the wall, he saw the barbarian corpses on the ground in the distance outside the wall, and there were countless large pits.

Some barbarian soldiers and horses died in a particularly horrible way, almost with their limbs separated, organs all over the ground, and the land outside the city was dyed red with blood.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiuming was stunned.

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

From this, it can be seen that a war did take place before the imperial army entered the city.

And judging from the fact that the barbarians left so many corpses, the barbarians should have been repelled by the Beijun defenders.

Lin Xiuming was extremely surprised. He wanted to know why so many barbarian soldiers died, and it seemed that those barbarian soldiers died before they even approached the city wall of Yancheng.

Especially the big pits on the flat ground made Lin Xiuming very puzzled. What were those pits used for?

Of course, although he was surprised, Lin Xiuming still didn't think that what they had heard before, that the Beijun soldiers killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers and captured 100,000 barbarian troops, was true.

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

At this time, a young man in golden armor was standing on the wall, looking into the distance. Lin Xiuming had seen Lu Chen, 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 changed greatly.

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

Lin Xiuming quickly walked towards Lu Chen. 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 strong murderous aura. Generally, a warrior would have to kill many people to have such a strong murderous aura.

The King of the North was actually a warrior?

How is this possible?

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

The key is that Lin Xiuming felt that Lu Chen's strength was not weak. At least he had reached the level of a half-step master. Even Lin Xiuming, the master, felt some pressure in front of Lu Chen.

Lin Xiuming immediately saluted and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty, I failed to rush to Beijun in the first time. Please punish me.

Lu Chen did not turn his head. His eyes were fixed on the north. At this time, he said lightly: "Punish? No, no, no, General Lin, you came in time. "

Last night's battle killed 200,000 barbarian soldiers. Now the entire Wanning River Valley is littered with the bodies of barbarian soldiers and horses. Although Lu Chen also thought about asking the captured barbarian soldiers to carry the bodies and clean the battlefield.

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

So he didn't ask them to clean the battlefield, but the battlefield needs to be cleaned. If so many barbarian soldiers and horse bodies are left in the Wanning River Valley, there is a high possibility of plague.

What's more, there is a Wanning River in the Wanning River Valley, and so many bodies on the riverside , polluting the entire river. Where will Yancheng get water from then on?

These bodies must be dealt with. Since the barbarian soldiers cannot deal with them, Lu Chen is still thinking about letting the soldiers of Beijun or mobilizing the common people to deal with them. He just asked people to return to the city to announce the results of the battle, just to mobilize the common people.

But now that the 70,000 troops of the court have arrived, the common people are no longer needed. It is just right for these 70,000 troops to clean up the battlefield.

Now that they are here, how can they go back without doing anything?

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

Hearing this, Lin Xiuming was stunned for a moment.

Cleaning the battlefield?

Have the barbarians retreated?

Lin Xiuming immediately asked: "Prince, have the barbarian army retreated?"

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

After hearing that the imperial army was coming to Yancheng, Lu Chen returned with only a few people. Now the soldiers of Beijun are still cleaning up the battlefield outside Yancheng. When Lin Xiuming and his team go out later, they will know what is going on outside.

If we tell Lin Xiuming the result of this war now, I am afraid that Lin Xiuming will not believe it. Let them, let the imperial army go out and see for themselves.

Lu Chen had just asked the artillery battalion to withdraw all the howitzers. Now even if Lin Xiuming and his team go out, they will not see weapons like howitzers.

As for the heavy cavalry.

It doesn't matter if Lin Xiuming and his team see it. After all, Beijun has achieved such a great victory, there must be a reasonable explanation, otherwise it will make people more suspicious.

Heavy cavalry is a good explanation.

When Lin Xiuming and his team see the tens of thousands of heavy cavalry of Beijun, they will most likely think that the reason why Beijun won the victory is because of these heavy cavalry.

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

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

Before the aristocratic family was eliminated, it was unlikely that he would take action against the feudal king.

What's more, the imperial court has just issued an order to expand the army. As a vassal king who can recruit up to 150,000 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. Fortunately, General Mu had returned just now, otherwise he would be in trouble if Lin Xiuming and the others found out later.

Li Feng saluted Lu Chen and said, "See you, Your Majesty!"

Lu Chen turned to look at Li Feng and said, "General Li, please lead General Lin and others to clean up the battlefield."

"I am a little sleepy, so I will go back first."

Li Feng immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Then Lu Chen turned around and left.

Looking at Lu Chen's leaving figure, Lin Xiuming was stunned. Then he looked at Li Feng and said, "General Li, has the barbarian army retreated?"

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

Hearing Lin Xiuming's question, Li Feng said with a smile: "General Lin, the barbarians were not just repelled by us. When we leave the city later, you will know that under the leadership of the prince, our soldiers in Beijun have won the victory." What an achievement.”

Seeing that Li Feng was also trying to sell things off, Lin Xiuming frowned slightly.

Not only did he doubt that Beijun had really achieved great results this time?

Could it be that they were lucky enough to kill an important figure in a barbarian royal court?
