At sunrise.
Park Duanchang huddled in the corner, distraught.
There were many prisoners nearby who were cursing.
This time, Ning Que completely shattered his self-confidence.
Originally, he was thinking about competing with Ning Que.
Some even believed that Dafeng was defeated this time.
I never thought it was a setup from the beginning to the end!
Play him around in circles.
It was also because of his carelessness that Baekje City was broken.
They were all taken captive...
Park Duanchang looked up into the distance.
Ning Que was leading his soldiers in singing and dancing.
The firemen were busy preparing meals.
This time a lot of poultry and livestock were seized.
After all, Baekje City is a big city.
In addition, there are heavy troops guarding the place, so there is no shortage of supplies.
"Lao Li, these are all beef, right?"
"To answer your Highness, they are all old cows."
"Okay, you guys take care of it first." Ning Que nodded. "Use the beef bones to make soup, and roast the fatty ones. As for the rest, make a portion of braised beef, perfect for rice. As for the other poultry and livestock, hurry up and process them and make them into dry food. They'll be needed in the subsequent attack on Silla."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Ning Que smiled and nodded.
Since we have won the battle, we must celebrate it well.
"My Lord, please come quickly."
"We are all waiting for you now."
"how?"
Ning Que walked over with a smile.
They were all sitting on the ground around the campfire.
Drink rice wine from a ceramic bowl and eat grilled lamb chops.
Drink big gulps of wine and eat big mouthfuls of meat.
That was quite satisfying!
"We all know that the prince is good at literary matters."
"We have now captured two cities in a row."
"I wonder if Your Majesty could compose a poem?"
"Okay." Ning Que smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Drunk, I look at my sword by lamplight, and dream of blowing the horn in the camp. Eight hundred miles of roast meat distributed to the soldiers, fifty strings of music echo the sounds of the frontier, and the soldiers are inspected on the battlefield in autumn."
"good!"
Everyone applauded.
Although many of them didn't understand what was said, they all thought it was good.
Ning Que smiled and waved his hand, "You won the battle, so you should celebrate today. There's no point in reciting poems or writing couplets, so let's not worry about that today. Everyone should get drunk before leaving. But you still have to keep watch, and especially keep an eye on these prisoners. They'll be needed for the subsequent attack on Silla."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
Ning Que raised the wine jar and drank it all with a smile.
It's not easy for them this time.
So when it’s time to indulge, you have to indulge.
If you keep it tense all the time, problems can easily arise.
Watching them celebrate, Ning Que prepared to look around again.
Tie Niu and Bai Yu also stood up and followed behind.
"Aren't you going to take a break?"
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty..."
"The prince taught us before that if we want to inherit the crown, we must bear its weight. As commanders, we must prepare for the follow-up."
"Yes, Lao Bai is right!"
Tie Niu nodded vigorously in agreement.
Ning Que couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, saying, "There's no need to rush later, just drag it out for now. We've already captured Baekje City and have a firm foothold in Goguryeo. And my uncle has probably also captured Wuhuan City. In other words, most of Goguryeo is already in our hands. As long as we take Silla City, Goguryeo will be finished. The only thing left is the royal city, and it's only a matter of time before we take them down."
"Too……"
The two looked at each other and nodded.
It can be said that success or failure depends on Baekje City.
After capturing Baekje City, the Eastern Expedition came to an end.
As long as we proceed steadily and cautiously, Goguryeo will be within our grasp.
It doesn't matter even if it's a protracted war.
After all, they can transport food in an endless supply by sea.
But the Goguryeo royal city is in trouble...
The surrounding cities have all been captured.
They have no source of food at all.
It doesn't matter how long it takes.
The Goguryeo royal city was not easy to attack.
It doesn't matter even if it takes a few months.
Of course, Ning Que now needs to buy time.
Prepare for the subsequent trip to Lingnan.
"Old White, it's still the same old rules."
"To incur more casualties from this siege."
"Now that we have prisoners, we can secretly dispatch some of our personal guards to Lingnan ahead of time. Senior Brother Hai and the others should have arrived. Lingnan is in ruins right now, and they need help in every area. With them around, we should be able to save some effort."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty."
Bai Yu smiled.
He was quite familiar with this now.
He had already made arrangements for the manpower in advance.
As long as Ning Que agrees, it will be fine.
"Speaking of which, we captured quite a few prisoners this time."
"We had almost no casualties."
"What are your plans for the future, Your Majesty?"
"Why do you think I sent them to Lingnan ahead of time?" Ning Que sneered, "It's just right. We can use these captives as a vanguard. We can then force them to attack the city and let them fight the defenders. We can just watch them fight from behind, and it will also reduce casualties."
"It's hard to control, isn't it?"
"If you don't listen, I'll kill you."
Ning Que showed no mercy.
He also encountered many ambushes along the way this time.
They all used Goguryeo captives as cannon fodder.
The dead are buried directly.
As for the injured?
What's the difference between that and being dead?
Of course, some wanted to flee, but Ning Que had numerous personal guards stationed behind him. If they didn't attack, Ning Que would shoot them on the spot. Charging forward was a matter of life and death, with a glimmer of hope. But deserting the battlefield was certain death!
