Chapter 912 A great victory
Prince Yuanming smiled with satisfaction when he saw the enemy army was completely routed. He had never expected to win this battle so easily.
Our side didn't lose many soldiers at all, while the enemy suffered more than 30,000 casualties. As long as you see the corpses on the ground, they are basically the enemy's.
"General, the remaining ones are captives. Please deal with them!" Jiang Youzhen rode his horse to the side of Prince Yuan Ming and said.
"Good!" Prince Yuan Ming is now extremely satisfied with Jiang Youzhen.
Now he felt that even with 100,000 men against 300,000, victory was possible. Jiang Youzhen was practically one against a hundred, and with his amazing archery skills, he was invincible!
"All soldiers, listen up and capture all the prisoners."
Jiang Youzhen casually threw the head in her hand to a young general. Her face was stern, but her heart was already pounding.
Disgusting! So disgusting! In her previous life, she was just an office worker, and after coming here, she killed people and had their heads chopped off.
That would be fine, but seeing him carrying his head across the battlefield nearly made her vomit in disgust! She simply couldn't accept it!
Watching the other soldiers clearing out the enemy in an orderly manner, Jiang Youzhen didn't have to worry about the remaining arrangements, as the overall situation had already been decided.
"Lord Jiang, didn't they say they had 300,000 troops? Why does it look like they have less than 50,000 now? Are the rest of the army ready to attack? We must close the city gates immediately and prepare for battle!"
Prince Yuanming suddenly felt puzzled. Why weren't there even 50,000 soldiers and horses here? Was there a larger army behind them?
"Since they are not coming over now, it means there is a temporary truce! We just need to make all the necessary preparations!" Jiang Youzhen said casually.
"Well! Thank you for your help today, Master Jiang!"
"It's okay! When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a responsibility. Moreover, as an imperial envoy, I have no choice but to do my part in the current war at the border." Jiang Youzhen bowed.
Prince Yuanming looked Jiang Youzhen up and down, seeing the young man standing tall and straight, with the imposing aura of a drawn sword. His moon-white robe was soaked with blood, and he exuded a murderous aura.
If Jiang Youzhen had not taken the civil service examination, he might have become a fierce general feared by the enemy.
"General, I'm a little tired and want to go back to the barracks to rest!"
In fact, she wanted to clean the stains on her body, she was really uncomfortable.
"Alright! I'll have someone send you armor later. Since you're already on the battlefield, you'll be less safe without armor."
"Thank you, General!" Jiang Youzhen hurriedly expressed his gratitude!
In fact, she was wearing a gold-threaded soft armor. Jiang Youzhen had seen the fourth prince's gold-threaded soft armor before and thought it was a good thing to save her life. So when she returned, she asked Zhao Wei if he could find a way to make one.
Zhao Wei then spent months, painstakingly laboring over it, and spending a fortune to craft this soft armor. Jiang Youzhen felt it was identical to the Fourth Prince's, perhaps even lighter.
She was wearing it at the moment, and because it was soft and thin, and she was thin, it was not very noticeable.
Jiang Youzhen hurried back to the tent and quickly asked someone to prepare hot water so that she could take a good bath. She also asked someone to guard the tent, otherwise she was afraid that someone would break in.
But the moment she took off her clothes and entered the bathtub, she heard someone talking outside.
"Is Lord Jiang in there?" It was Qin Yandong's voice.
"Lord Qin!" Qing Lang, who was guarding outside the tent, bowed.
"My master is bathing inside. I will inform you after he finishes bathing!"
"Yes! You can tell him later that Prince Yuanming asked him to discuss the next battle plan."
Jiang Youzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the footsteps fade away. She quickly washed herself and put on her clothes without wiping herself down.
At this time, in a valley not far from the tent, a man was closely watching the movements here.
"Young Prince, I didn't expect Jiang Youzhen to be so skilled in fighting! He's such a skilled archer that he was able to shoot Bart in such a dim light, and even kill him with one arrow.
After that, he was like a tiger, invincible wherever he went. This person has become a serious threat! With him around, I'm afraid our plans will be in vain!"
The cloaked man looked at the young man in front of him with great anxiety, and there was murderous intent in his tone.
"I never imagined that a 50,000-man army would be so vulnerable! That Bart, hailed as a god, couldn't even dodge an arrow!"
The young prince sighed. He hadn't expected to be defeated so quickly. In this case, he had to dispatch troops, otherwise it would be easy for them to discover his plan!
How many more troops should I deploy? Too many would affect the deployment of other forces, too few would easily expose the truth. What a headache! What a headache!
"Young Prince, this boy must not be allowed to stay! I think he is loyal to the Dayun Dynasty and will definitely not betray the country. Although it is a pity, he must be eliminated."
The young prince sighed, "How wonderful it would be if I could use this boy? I haven't even established a firm foothold in the court yet. If he could join me, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. It's a pity..."
"If that's the case, then get rid of him! However, this guy is highly skilled in martial arts and very cautious. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to get rid of him."
"No matter how powerful he is, he is just one person. How can he resist thousands of troops? I don't believe that he can still survive after being assassinated repeatedly!" The cloaked man said in a cold tone.
"How's the situation with the eldest prince? Has everything been deployed?" asked the young prince.
"Almost there! As long as we continue to trap Duke Qin and prevent him from sending reinforcements, this feint to the east and attacking in the west will surely succeed!"
"Hmph! Don't be so confident! I always feel something is strange. Logically speaking, Duke Qin will be arriving at the border soon. Given Jiang Youzhen's cautious nature, he should have sent some more people to meet him.
But until now, he hasn't made any move, could he have some backup plan?"
The young prince was a little worried. He always felt that things were not that simple.
"Even if he knows our plan, what can he do? Even if Duke Qin arrives now, it will be too late for them to deploy. We can act in advance."
"What if you say that the other half of the tiger talisman is in Jiang Youzhen's hands? Will he take any action?" the young prince pondered.
"He's not the commander-in-chief, just an imperial envoy. Even if he has the tiger talisman, who will obey his orders on the battlefield? Young prince, don't worry about it. We have been preparing for so long this time, we will definitely win!
Besides, the capital is almost ready and just waiting for us! Besides, didn’t we just say we wanted to get rid of Jiang Youzhen? Apart from him, there’s no need to worry so much! "
The cloaked man felt that the young prince was too cautious, afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, and was ultimately a little indecisive.
"If there is really no other way, I can only take action according to the situation. It's a pity that Jiang Youzhen doesn't trust me!" The little prince sighed.
