After hearing the system inform her of what the prince mentioned in the letter, Jun Baozhu began to take it seriously.
[Brother Crown Prince reminds Brother Fourth Prince to make good use of the Xiangshan Nation’s troops and be careful about what is appropriate? ]
What is measure?
[We can't let them all die? Otherwise, Xiangshan will be resentful and think that we deliberately let them die without helping them, and waste their soldiers to death? ]
[But, we can't let these 30,000 people return safely? ]
[They have someone in their hands, so they will have the same thoughts as those of someone else and cause trouble? ]
【Didn’t we train their successors? 】
[Even if he gets promoted in the future, the other party cannot be too explicit in his stance and can only take things step by step? ]
[Reverse the situation of Xiangshan State, from hostility and conspiracy to friendly cooperation? ]
[Thanks to the great witch doctor, Dafeng was seriously injured. Fighting with Xiangshan Kingdom, both sides suffered losses. Only cooperation can achieve a win-win situation? ]
【But considering that they stab us in the back and have no integrity, we must pluck out their wings and make them fear us so that they can cooperate sincerely?】
[Only in the face of absolute advantage will they be obedient? ]
[And the officers and soldiers are their confidence? ]
[You mean, don't let these 30,000 people die, but don't let them maintain their fighting capacity either? ]
Jun Baozhu opened her eyes wide, [Brother Crown Prince is so awesome! ]
[Prince brother sent someone to deliver two letters? 】
[The other one, the Fourth Prince personally read it, and then burned it? ]
[Except for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, no one else knows the content? ]
Jun Baozhu frowned slightly.
The emperor thought for a moment and smiled with relief.
The prince has done well enough, he has nothing to worry about, all he needs to do is trust him.
The Ninth Prince had an indifferent expression. He trusted the Crown Prince unconditionally and knew whatever the Crown Prince asked him to know.
In the entire carriage, Jun Baozhu was the only one who was anxious.
【What exactly is written in the letter? 】
[I'm curious! I really want to know what's written inside! ]
[If it's not important, why did the fourth prince burn it? ]
[Ah! I can’t eat the melon, it’s so uncomfortable! ]
The emperor, Concubine Li and the ninth prince could not help laughing.
Just like that, they arrived at the front line amid Jun Baozhu's chattering and complaints.
Flames shot up into the sky.
The trench was as deep as an adult's calf and was filled with kerosene. The fire lines on both sides extended to no end.
The Fourth Prince stepped forward to greet him. As time was pressing, the Emperor skipped the pleasantries and asked directly about the situation.
The fourth prince reported that 30,000 men from the Xiangshan Kingdom, using torches as weapons and carrying kerosene and explosives, were fighting the puppet army in front of the trench.
"But for some reason, the puppet's mobility seems to be much weaker than what I heard from Aunt Gui...
The battle lasted for half an hour, and the puppets' movements seemed to slow down a bit..."
The fourth prince was puzzled.
[Because the great witch doctor is dead! ]
Jun Baozhu opened her eyes wide, smiling, and answered in her mind.
The Fourth Prince was stunned at first, then he showed a look of surprise.
Seeing the emperor and the ninth prince nod, he couldn't contain his excitement.
The Ninth Prince gave a concise introduction to the process of eliminating the witch doctor, explaining that it was Concubine Li who used the powder to make the witch doctor lose his fighting ability first, thus omitting details such as the emperor replacing the substitute secret guards.
The Fourth Prince bowed respectfully to Concubine Li, and upon learning that the Great Witch Doctor was dead and the Mother Gu was destroyed, he understood why the puppets had lost their energy supply.
Looking up outside the fire line, the flames were high enough to cover up the battle between the Xiangshan soldiers and the puppets not far away...
The fourth prince was relieved. "In this case, we don't need to take action. Save the soldiers' energy!"
Jun Baozhu blinked. If it weren't for her inner voice and her focused look, the Fourth Prince would have misunderstood that Jun Baozhu admired him...
[Brother Fourth Prince, you are so treacherous! ]
The Ninth Prince chuckled.
The prince's strategy, the prince is smart and powerful...
Well! When it comes to the fourth brother, it becomes treacherous!
My sister's level of face-changing...
He balanced.
The battle lasted until late at night.
When the Xiangshan soldiers showed signs of exhaustion, the Dongzhao Army, under the command of the Fourth Prince, threw torches outside the fire line to provide support.
Blocked by the fire, the puppets' offensive power weakened, but their physical strength and force were still much stronger than ordinary soldiers...
When the Xiangshan soldiers screamed, the Dongzhao Army would increase the intensity of their attacks with torches.
And so on.
When cries for help were heard from outside the line of fire, the Fourth Prince sent people to cover the flames in the trench with mud and check the condition of the puppets.
The soldiers of Xiangshan State fell to the ground, their injuries were horrific, but they were still alive.
The puppets fell to the ground like stiff branches, unable to move.
Under the command of the Fourth Prince, the Eastern Recruiting Army carefully gathered the puppets. Twenty thousand of them formed a mountain.
The fourth prince lit the torch himself, and the scene was spectacular.
The fire burned for three days and three nights, until only a pile of charred ashes remained at the scene.
The soldiers brought by the Eastern Recruiting Army and the Ninth Prince were quarantined on the spot to prevent the puppets from being infected with the disease and bringing the disease into the country through contact with the soldiers.
With the presence of Concubine Li and medical officers helping with the examinations, there was no outbreak of the epidemic among the Dongzhao Army.
Dozens of soldiers showed symptoms and were isolated. Under the careful care of Concubine Li and medical officers, they gradually recovered.
【Where are the soldiers sent by Xiangshan Kingdom? 】
[Our soldiers only came into close contact with the puppets when they were burning their corpses, and dozens of them were infected...]
[They fought in close combat, so no one got infected? ]
