A day later, Jia Yao came as ordered.
"Lou Yi, you bastard, come out and kowtow to Grandpa three times, and Grandpa will withdraw his troops immediately!"
"If you want to be a bastard, you must be prepared to be a bastard!"
"Come on, shout with me: Turtle grandson..."
"You bastard..."
When Jia Yao arrived, Qin Qihu was leading the Blood-Clothed Army to curse outside Turtleback City.
However, no matter how they cursed, the enemy army did not come out of the city to fight, nor did they send anyone to fight the general.
Listening to the incoherent cursing, Jia Yao couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
It goes without saying that this must have been Yun Zheng's idea.
However, it is a bit naive to think that you can force the enemy to fight by insulting them.
...
...
At most, it would just slightly undermine the enemy's morale.
Soon, Jia Yao, led by Yun Zheng's personal guards, found Yun Zheng on the high ground.
At this moment, Miaoyin and Shen Luoyan were both leaning against Yun Zheng. From a distance, it looked like they were being hugged by two people.
Seeing Jia Yao arrive, Shen Kuan, who was standing guard not far away, immediately stepped forward and saluted: "This humble general greets Madam Jia Yao! His Highness has given instructions, Madam, please go over."
"Um."
Jia Yao nodded gently, walked towards Yun Zheng, and did not forget to tease: "My Lord, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"
Hearing Jia Yao's voice, Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin couldn't help but turn around.
"Would you like to enjoy it too?"
Miaoyin teased Jiayao, "I'll make room for you."
Jia Yao's pretty face turned slightly red, but she smiled sweetly, "Forget it, I won't compete with you for your favor."
"Hey, you're not jealous, are you?"
Chen Luoyan also started teasing Jia Yao with a smile.
"I'm jealous?"
Jia Yao curled her lips and counterattacked: "Even if you guys make love in broad daylight, I won't be jealous."
Chen Luoyan didn't expect Jia Yao to say such a bold thing. Her face turned red instantly. She glared at Jia Yao in shame and anger, "We are not as unrestrained as the women on your grassland!"
Jia Yao smiled indifferently and quickly walked to Yun Zheng's side.
It was not until this moment that she realized that she had been thinking in the wrong direction.
Yun Zheng was not here to enjoy the scenery with Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin in his arms.
In front of Yun Zheng, there was a simple desk.
Yun Zheng was holding a pitch-black object and drawing a topographic map of the area around Turtleback City on a piece of white paper.
Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin were not hanging out with him. They were probably just leaning there watching Yun Zheng draw.
"It's alright, you guys can continue bickering until I finish drawing this topographic map."
Yun Zheng just looked up at Jia Yao and continued drawing.
"Who wants to argue with them?"
Jia Yao snorted, "You draw yours, I'll take a look too."
As he spoke, Jia Yao's gaze fell on the topographic map that Yun Zheng was drawing.
This is similar to the topographic map Yun Zheng had drawn before, but it feels more detailed.
"Just look, don't block my view."
Yun Zheng reminded without even raising his head.
Jia Yao reacted and immediately moved to the side.
Yun Zheng drew for a while, then picked up the clairvoyance next to him and observed for a while, then lowered his head and continued drawing.
Looking at the clairvoyant next to him, Jia Yao couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
She wanted to pick up the clairvoyance several times to see if it was as magical as Yun Zheng said.
But without Yun Zheng's permission, she couldn't just start.
Jia Yao watched there for nearly two quarters of an hour, and Yun Zheng finally finished drawing the topographic map in his hand.
"Now that you're here, why are you still drawing a topographic map?"
Until this moment, Jia Yao finally couldn't help asking: "Wouldn't it be clearer if you just used your clairvoyance to see it?"
"I can't always come to check the terrain."
Yun Zheng smiled calmly, "But this topographic map is in my hand and I can look at it at any time."
Is that the only reason?
Jia Yao looked at him suspiciously, then said, "Congratulations, you've won another battle."
Jia Yao had already learned the outcome of the previous battle from the messenger.
Although she had known it would be a great victory, she was still envious after learning the result.
For a general, it is enough to win such a great victory once in his life!
"Nothing to be happy about."
Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, "That was just a trick! The next part is the real hard part."
Their capture of the pseudo-city did not even amount to a breach in the line of defense.
This line of defense is still very solid.
"If I could defeat you in such a big battle, I would be so happy!"
Jia Yao glanced at Bai Yunzheng and asked, "You called me here to prepare to attack Turtle Back City?"
"no."
Yun Zheng slowly stood up and stared at the Turtle Back City in the distance. "I asked you to come and discuss the strategy of breaking the city!"
A strategy to break the city?
Jia Yao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Do you still need to discuss the strategy of breaking the city with me? Just tell me what you need me to do! With you here, it's not my turn to think about the strategy of breaking the city."
"Look at what you said. If I had a good plan, would I still ask you to discuss it?" Yun Zheng glanced at her and said seriously, "If you have a good plan to break through Turtle Back City, when the food that the third brother gave me arrives, I will directly give you 500,000 dan of food!"
Five hundred thousand dan of grain?
Jia Yao's heart moved, "Are you sure?"
"Do you have a good idea?"
Chen Luoyan and Miaoyin looked at Jiayao at the same time.
"Don't rush to speak."
Yun Zheng stopped Jia Yao.
Upon hearing this, Jia Yao immediately looked at Yun Zheng in annoyance: "Are you trying to trick me?"
"What do you mean by trying to trick you?"
Yun Zheng curled his lips, "I think you didn't understand what I meant! What I want is a clever plan, not a strategy that kills one thousand enemies and injures eight hundred of your own!"
Who doesn't know how to pile up human lives?
The reason why a good plan is called a good plan is that it is to tackle the hardest problem at the lowest cost!
Jia Yao frowned: "You said a brilliant plan, won't it cost you one casualty and the enemy ten casualties?"
“That’s about right!”
Yun Zheng nodded slightly. "In this kind of siege war, a 10 to 1 casualty ratio is indeed a bit of a pipe dream. If we can get it to 5 to 1, or at least 3 to 1, it would basically be a good idea!"
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, Jia Yao was speechless: "It's really hard to get your 500,000 dan of grain!"
I have to say, Yun Zheng is indeed very greedy.
Now, they are the attackers!
Moreover, the enemy has the advantage of terrain.
Even so, he still wants to achieve a casualty ratio of three to one?
Jia Yao secretly complained in his heart, and then continued: "Don't you have explosives in your hand? The power of the explosives is so huge. As long as you send people to blow down all the enemy's walls, given the difference in strength between the two armies, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve a three-to-one casualty ratio, right?"
have to!
I knew Jiayao would definitely ask about this.
"I did bring some explosives this time, but I used too much last time to build a bridge, so I don't have much left."
Yun Zheng's face was calm: "If there is a suitable opportunity, we can blow a hole in the enemy's wall, but even if I open a hole, we will definitely suffer a lot of casualties if we rush in."
Upon hearing this, Jia Yao was speechless.
After going around in circles, we are back to the issue of casualties.
It is certainly a good thing that Yun Zheng cherishes the lives of his soldiers.
But they are attacking a strategic location that is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
As long as the enemy holds their ground and their morale does not collapse, the casualties will be huge no matter what.
Jia Yao looked at Yun Zheng speechlessly, "You win every time with minimal casualties. Leaders in this world should stop fighting! When your troops arrive, others will just surrender!"
"You still have to have dreams. What if they come true?"
Yun Zheng laughed and asked, "Are there any small paths near where you are stationed that can lead you directly to the back of Turtleback City?"
