If such wars are fought too much, the vanguard army will gradually lose its bloodiness.

This is what Cheng Meng doesn't want to see.

To be a pioneer is to have a will not to be afraid of death.

Now that they are not allowed to chase and kill deserters, how can these vanguard troops cultivate the will not to be afraid of death?

Cheng Meng and the others' intention to ask for war was overflowing, but Bai Qi was unmoved.

He watched the 300,000 army flee with an indifferent expression, and said calmly.

"There is plenty of grain and grass in Tianshui City. There are still more than 5,000 pieces of red-clothed cannon elixir in reserve! ”

"It's the Dawu Dynasty that is in a hurry, not us!"

After speaking, he looked at the Dawu border army not far away, and he knew the purpose of this trip when he had gone deep into the Dawu Dynasty before.

Everyone went deep into the border just to deter the Dawu Dynasty, in case the border army crusaded against the Great Zhou Dynasty, these border troops of the Dawu Dynasty took the opportunity to make trouble!

This strategy was jointly formulated by Su Mo and Zhuge Liang.

The two of them also decided and discussed together which cities to attack.

Tianshui City is actually the last city finalized by Su Mo!

This place was the second largest military town on the border of the Dawu Dynasty.

Although the geographical location is not the most important, it is the throat of the Dawu Dynasty to send troops to the border pass!

Everyone is stuck in Tianshui City, and the border army of the Dawu Dynasty wants to ravage the border unscrupulously, which becomes extremely difficult.

Even the border defense of the Dawu Dynasty has become quite difficult!

Therefore, Bai Qi only needs to stick to Tianshui City, so that the Dawu Dynasty can experience the hardships.

There are millions of stones of grain and grass in Tianshui City, which is enough for an army of 100,000 to consume for nearly three months.

Five thousand red-coated cannons are enough to defend against millions of border troops!

The grain and grass are sufficient, and the reserves of pills are complete, so there is no need to chase and kill the border army of the Dawu Dynasty.

Once the border army under his command pursues and kills the deserters, the losses will outweigh the losses!

As for what should happen next, it is a matter between the Dawu Dynasty and Su Mo.

You only need to defend Tianshui City, and the rest has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to worry about it!

Just when Cheng Meng and others asked for battle, the border army of the Dawu Dynasty outside Tianshui City had already fled.

Coach Xiao Ran collected the remnants of the army fifty miles away!

The lieutenant general counted the losses of everyone, and the numbers made Xiao Ran tremble.

The border army alone lost more than 100,000, and now only 170,000 are left of the 300,000 army.

Among them were nearly 30,000 wounded soldiers.

This also means that Xiao Ran now only has 140,000 soldiers to fight, and almost half of his soldiers and horses have been lost!

The news sent back by the scout made Xiao Ran react immediately.

The purpose of Bai Qi and the others going deep into the border was not to kill the border army, but to occupy Tianshui City.

The fact that the other side did not send cavalry to chase and kill the deserters of the border army is the best proof!

Reflecting the key to this, Xiao Ran immediately took out the map and began to calculate the purpose of Bai Qi's attack on the Dawu Dynasty.

After some thought, he came up with an extremely surprising answer!

Bai Qi and the others did not want to start a war with the Dawu Dynasty, he wanted to force the Dawu Dynasty to negotiate peace.

As for the reason, Xiao Ran guessed that it was because of Su Mo's claim to be emperor!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran immediately wrote his speculation and some corroborative remarks in a letter, and handed it over to the border army to return to the Dawu Dynasty to report the news!

As the news spread back to the Dawu Empire, there was a sudden sensation in the court!

Chen Wen, the secretary of the military department, took Xiao Ran's paperwork and hurried to the palace, bowing his head and saying loudly.

"Your Majesty, the battle report from the front is back, and I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

Before his voice fell, the people on the side of the household Shangshu and others hurriedly scolded!

"The battle report is back?"

"Are you still embarrassed to report the war?"

"An army of 300,000 can't even defeat Tianshui City, what kind of face do you have?"

When Luo Sheng said this, he was furious.

Directly pointed at Chen Wen's nose and scolded angrily.

The soldiers on the side did not dare to step forward to stop them, so they could only wait for Chen Wen to refute himself.

Now that the Dawu Dynasty has been defeated, the military department is what Qianfu is referring to.

As the squire of the military department, they can only let others insult them and swallow the bitter fruit.

Now the head of the household department scolds directly, and Chen Wen is the only one who can refute him.

In the main hall, Chen Wen immediately got up and retorted when he heard this!

"Luo Shangshu is a bit excessive!"

"Is it the responsibility of my military department to lose this battle?"

When he said this, Chen Wen looked at the playful expressions on the faces of the ministers, and his heart was full of anger.

To this day, he is still watching from the sidelines, factional fighting, how can the Dawu Dynasty not die?

He looked at the Ministry of Work and asked angrily!

"The news of the red-coated cannon has been transmitted back for a few days, and your Ministry of Industry has also come up with a way to deal with it?"

was suddenly turned around by him, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu didn't react for a while.

Originally, he thought that this incident was a struggle between the household department and the military department.

After all, the household department did not support the war, and the military department insisted on starting a war, and it was inevitable that the two sides would have some conflict.

But now Luo Sheng will still give the problem to the Ministry of Industry, which makes him a little surprised!

Looking at Chen Wen's aggressive expression, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu retorted coldly!

"It took decades of research for the Sumo border army to develop the red-coated cannon!"

"The Ministry of Industry has never even seen the appearance of the red coat broken, how to study it?"

With these words, in a few sentences, he returned the responsibility back to the military department.

The reason why the Ministry of Engineering can't study it is because your military department has been losing, and it has nothing to do with us.

Chen Wen on the side was so angry by his words that his face turned red and full of anger.

I want to refute but can't find a reason.

He was sullen and angry alone, looking like a powder keg that could be ignited at any moment.

On the dragon chair, Zhao Wu opened the battle report, his face was pale!

The 300,000 border troops lost most of them without even seeing a human figure.

The three heavenly and human realm offerings also lost one.

This loss is unacceptable for Zhao Wu!

He said that the battle report in his hand was still on the side, and scolded angrily!

"Bastard, Xiao Ran dared to falsely report the battle report!"

"The 300,000 army lost most of its walls without even seeing it!"

"Is he so easy to fool when he is a widow?"

Chen Wen picked up the battle report and said helplessly!

"Your Majesty, the front-line battle report is indeed true!"

"Xiao Ran's failure to command this time is to blame!"

"But the horror of the red-coated cannon is not fiction!"

After saying that, he took out another document and said sincerely.

"This is the news from more than a dozen scouts on the front line!"

"They all confirm the horror of the red-clad cannon!"

"Just one shot can easily solve hundreds of border troops, hundreds of border troops!"

He said this with tears in his eyes, and he seemed extremely sincere.

The military officials on the side handed the extra documents to everyone so that several senior officials of the DPRK and China could check them!
