Chapter 68: One Hundred Thousand Captives

After getting the commander token of the Fire Phoenix Legion from Gongsun Yuan, Zhou Yunfeng led the army to set off, this time Zhou Yunfeng did not take all the troops, only took away 150,000 cavalry, and all the others stayed in Skyscraper.

In the afternoon of the second day, the Fengyun Division arrived at Yuyang Pass, which was thousands of miles away, and after arriving, Zhou Yunfeng sent someone to send a letter to Qin Qiong.

When night was about to fall, Zhou Yunfeng personally led 10,000 elite soldiers to change into the armor and robes of the Fire Phoenix Legion, which had been prepared for a long time, and came to Yuyang Pass with the commander token of the Fire Phoenix Legion, and used the token to deceive the city gate of Yuyang Pass.

After entering the city, Zhou Yunfeng led his men to quickly capture the city gate, and then welcomed the army into the city, while Qin Qiong, who received the signal at the same time, wanted to storm the city gate at the other end.

Under the internal and external attacks, Yuyang Pass was very open and controlled by the Praetorian Guard and the Fengyun Army, and even the commander of these 200,000 people was captured by Zhou Yunfeng.

The main general of the 200,000 people in Yuyang Pass is called Gongsun Fort, Gongsun Fort is the division commander of the first division of the Fire Phoenix Legion, and he is also the son of Gongsun Yuan, and he is also the successor cultivated by Gongsun Yuan.

It was precisely because Gongsun Fort was Gongsun Yuan's son that Zhou Yunfeng only captured him and did not kill him, which was also what he promised Gongsun Yuan after getting the token of the commander of the Fire Phoenix Legion.

In the Yuyang Pass City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yunfeng and Qin Qiong sat opposite each other, and the two of them sat with the generals of the two armies in different numbers.

"The head of the Zhou Division is really young and promising, if it weren't for the Fengyun Division to help this time, I still don't know when Lu Dao will be able to capture Yuyang Pass!" Qin Qiong Zhou Yunfeng Zhou Yunfeng hugged his fists and said: "Qin Qiong has thanked you here!"

"Deputy Commander Qin's words are serious, we are all soldiers of the Tianyun Empire who went to fight against the Congyun Empire, we are originally a family, but we are just divided into two ways, and it is appropriate to help each other! If my Fengyun Division encounters difficulties, I don't think Deputy Commander Qin will stand idly by!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"That's for sure! Whichever way our left, center, and right armies are missing, it will be difficult to complete the task of subduing the Congyun Empire!" Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"Deputy Commander Qin can say whatever he wants, our Zhou and Qin families have been friends for a long time, and now we are comrades who are fighting together, there is nothing that cannot be said. Zhou Yunfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw that Qin Qiong wanted to say something, but whether he said it or not.

"Okay, I'm presumptuous, did the head of the Zhou Division really capture Gongsun Yuan?" Qin Qiong smiled and asked cautiously.

"That's right! Gongsun Yuan was captured by me, and he is still in the City Lord's Mansion in Sky City, and it will be a bloody battle to fight him!" Zhou Yunfeng sighed: "This old guy is too cunning!"

"The commander of the Zhou division is amazing! Qin Qiong admires it! I don't know how many people in the Dao want to defeat Gongsun Yuan, but they were all defeated by him in the end, and Duke Ling Zu Zhou Zhantian only fought a draw with him back then, I can't imagine that now he not only lost to the commander of the Zhou division, but was also captured by you! It seems that the commander of the Zhou division has surpassed Gongsun Yuan in the ability to use troops!" Qin Qiong admired.

"Deputy Commander Qin has won the award, I was able to win this time, it was all my luck, if I hadn't had an extra eye in advance, I'm afraid it would not be him Gongsun Yuan who was captured, but me Zhou Yunfeng!" Zhou Yuyunfeng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Deputy Commander Qin, there are still some soldiers in the Fengyun Division in the Sky City, so I plan to go back to the Sky City as soon as possible, so we want to discuss the next things with you!" Seeing that Qin Qiong was about to speak, Zhou Yunfeng hurriedly changed the topic.

"What advice does Division Commander Zhou have?" Qin Qiong asked.

"Deputy Commander Qin, I'm a straight person, I won't go around the bend, if there is anything wrong, please bear with me!" Zhou Yunfeng said with a smile.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Qin Qiong said.

"The offensive strategy was set before, so I don't have anything to say, what I want to say is that after the attack on Yuyang Pass, the two armies will divide the spoils!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

"It turns out that this kid wants to divide things, but Yuyang Pass is a city, and there are only so many loot, what is there to share?" Qin Qiong said secretly in his heart.

"You go on!" Qin Qiong said with an unchanged face.

"In fact, Deputy Commander Qin also knows that there is not much loot used in this Yuyang Pass. At most, it's just the remaining grain and grass of the Fire Phoenix Legion and other things, but I don't want any of these things!" Zhou Yunfeng said.

"Oh, I don't want these things, so what do you want, don't you want those prisoners?" Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"That's right, I'll want those captives!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"What, do you really want those captives?" Qin Qiong asked a little unconvinced.

"You heard it right, I just want those captives!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"Presumably, Deputy Commander Qin should know the situation of the Fengyun Division, right?" Zhou Yunfeng asked.

"Understand something!" Qin Qiong nodded.

"The Fengyun Division was formed, and the empire can be said to have not given a single gold coin, but it hopes that the Fengyun Division will expand its troops, not to mention military expenses, and it has not provided us with troops, so if the Fengyun Division wants to be strong, it can only rely on recruiting prisoners. And now the composition of the Fengyun Division is exactly like this, except for the original Fengyun Mercenary Regiment and the light cavalry of the 30,000 Blue Dragon Legion, all the other soldiers have been recruited from the surrender!" Zhou Yunfeng explained.

"It's not easy for you!" Qin Qiong sighed.

Originally, after the defeat of the Sky City, after the surrender, the Fengyun Division had expanded to 210,000 brigades, a full 210,000 people, but after the war with Gongsun Yuan, in the first trial battle, I lost nearly 10,000 people, and the last decisive battle, although Gongsun Yuan was defeated, but the Fengyun Division also killed more than 30,000 people. Zhou Yunfeng said in a deep voice: "That is to say, in a battle with Gongsun Yuan, although the Fengyun Division won, it was also a tragic victory, and it lost 40,000 people, which is a heavy loss!"

"So you plan to use the Fire Phoenix Legion's troops to replenish the troops consumed this time?" Qin Qiong asked.

"That's right! I hope Deputy Commander Qin will be successful!" Zhou Yunfeng hugged his fists.

"Otherwise, there should be 1230,000 captives this time, how much do you leave for me, and you take 100,000, what do you think?" Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and asked.

Although Qin Qiong's ability to recruit surrendered troops is not as strong as Zhou Yunfeng's, and the Praetorian Guard Legion does not want to be like the Fengyun Division, which can quickly accommodate a surrendered army, but when Qin Qiong encounters a good surrendered army, he will still recruit some to supplement the consumption of troops.

"One hundred thousand is enough! When I go back, I will pick and choose, and I can always choose thirty or forty thousand, so that the losses of this big war can almost come!" Zhou Yunfeng said happily.

"Ha Luha! It's good if you're satisfied!" Qin Qiong said with a smile.

"Deputy Commander Qin, do you know that the reason why we were able to break through Yuyang Pass so easily this time was because we got the Legion Commander Token of the Fire Phoenix Legion from Gongsun Yuan, and I also promised not to kill Gongsun Fort when I set off, and brought him back. Look," Zhou Yunfeng thought for a moment and said.

"Ha Luha, this is none of my business, Gongsun Fort was captured by you, since you caught it, then he is your prisoner, since he is your captive, then it depends on what you do with yourself, what do you ask me for?" Qin Qiong Da Lu said with a smile.

"That's fine, then the Fengyun Division won't stay long, I plan to leave Yuyang Pass early tomorrow morning and go back to Sky City!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded

On the second day, Zhou Yunfeng led the army with 100,000 captives to the skyscraper, because there were prisoners, so the marching speed was much slower.

Zhou Yunfeng only needed prisoners, but he didn't ask for war horses, so these prisoners had to rely on their own foot.

It's not that Zhou Yunfeng doesn't want war horses this time, but the 200,000 Fire Phoenix Army left behind in Yuyang Pass are basically infantry, of which there are only 25,000 cavalry, including 20,000 light cavalry and 5,000 horned horse cavalry.

With just 20,000 war horses and 5,000 wildebeests, plus some died in the melee, Zhou Yunfeng really couldn't speak.

Later, Zhou Yunfeng learned that there was originally a part of the cavalry in Yuyang Pass, but it was transferred half a month ago, and after the cavalry was transferred, the same number of infantry was transferred.

Zhou Yunfeng knew that the cavalry that was exchanged for Dao should be the two hole cards bought by Gongsun Yuan, the 40,000 light cavalry in the south and the 10,000 horneed cavalry in the north.

It took five full days, Zhou Yunfeng finally brought these 100,000 captives back to the Sky City, plus the more than 30,000 prisoners in the last battle, there were already more than 130,000 Fire Phoenix Army prisoners in the Sky City.

After returning to the Sky City, Zhou Yunfeng handed over the captives to Long Hao and other commanders, and asked them to start the surrender work immediately, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion with Gongsun Fort.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhou Yunfeng took Gongsun Fort to the room where his father Gongsun Yuan lived, and then left, he knew that the father and son must have a lot to say when they met in this situation at this moment, and he was not suitable for an outsider to stay there.

After the father and son met, the two found Zhou Yunfeng together, and Gongsun Yuan said, "Zhou Yunfeng, what are you going to do with our father and son?"

"Didn't I already say it! I'll send you to Yunlan City to meet my grandfather, and then drink tea or something!" Zhou Yunfeng said seriously.

"The old man is serious!" Gongsun Yuan said.

"I'm serious too!" Zhou Yunfeng nodded.

"Do you really want to send the old man to Yunlan City?" asked Gongsun Yuan.

"That's right, your son Gongsun Fort will also go with you, so it's good to have a companion!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"For what?" asked Gongsun Yuan.

"The reason is very simple, I don't want to see you on the battlefield again, but I don't want to kill you, so the best way is to send you off the battlefield, of course, I won't hand you over to the empire, because if you hand you over to the empire, you know what you will face, so the best way is to send you to Yunlan City!" Zhou Yunfeng explained.

"Understood! When will you leave?" Gongsun Yuan knew that things could not be changed, so he stopped pestering and asked.

"After the Fengyun Division has finished recruiting troops from the Fire Phoenix Army this time, I will send someone to send you to Yunlan City! I think my grandfather will be very happy to see you!" Zhou Yunfeng smiled.

"He must be happy to see me, I was captured by his grandson, can he not be happy? But I can't be happy when I see him!" Gongsun Yuan smiled bitterly.
