Chapter 375: Ask in the morning, and die in the evening

Chapter 375: Ask in the morning, and die in the evening
As the eastern sky gradually turned pale,
The faint light of morning light penetrates the mist and shines on the scarred earth.

The Oigawa battlefield slowly awakens in the morning light.
At this moment, the battle is over.
But every scene on the battlefield tells a story of perseverance and sacrifice.

The bodies were lying in all directions, some were Mingjia, some were Luchuanjia,
They lay on the ground, their faces looking peaceful in the morning light, but that could not conceal the determination and tragedy of their lives.

The blood dyed the ground red, gathering into thin streams that meandered across the entire battlefield.

The scattered weapons, broken swords, broken spears, bows and arrows, and torn flags silently told of the fierceness of the battle.

The middle section of Oigawa battlefield,
The Ming army's positions were also scarred, and the soldiers huddled together.
Some simply lay down on the corpses, smiling with the joy of victory shining on their faces.

Won
They turned their heads to look at the people gathered nearby.
There were nearly 20,000 to 30,000 Luchuan prisoners, and a hint of pride appeared on their faces.

Won
Amid the chaos, you can see some people searching for survivors.

From time to time, they squatted down, closed the eyes of their comrades, and smoothed their fierce faces.

Although exhausted and wounded,
But the war was finally over.

Behind the Oigawa battlefield.

Compared to the middle of the battlefield, this place looks much more desolate.
Although the smoke has dissipated, the air is still filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood, which makes people feel chilly.

This place seems to be a forgotten corner, filled with endless desolation and sadness.

The scene was so horrific that it was unbearable to watch.

Everywhere I looked, there were corpses.

The corpses were piled up like a mountain.
It was as if the heaven and earth had laid out a huge blanket of human flesh here, and every inch of this blanket was soaked in blood.

Their bodies were twisted in various postures, their hands were clenched tightly, and they seemed to be still making their final struggle.

Their eyes were empty as they looked into the distance, as if they were looking for the non-existent hope of escape.

The bullets from the muskets pierced their chests, leaving shocking wounds.
Blood gushed out from the wound, dyeing the ground dark red.

Even the gathering dew in the early morning could not moisten the thick blood mud at all.

In this wasteland littered with corpses, the figures of the front army scouts were particularly eye-catching.

They were dressed in dark red armor, holding sharp swords and spears.

There was a chilling coldness and determination in his eyes.

They adhered to the principle of killing everyone who should be killed, did not accept any surrender, and massacred everyone on the battlefield.

Even at this moment, the long swords and spears in their hands were still stabbing one by one.

Kill all those Luchuan troops who try to sneak through!
In the Luchuan camp not far away, one could still hear the shouts and the roar of musketry.

Every stab of the sword and every roar made the Yunnan army not far away feel fearful.

These Beijing troops are too cruel.

At this time, the sudden sound of horse hooves came from the south side of the battlefield.
All the soldiers raised their heads suddenly and clenched the long swords placed aside.

The scout soldier of the front army who was checking for survivors on the battlefield suddenly raised his head, his scarlet eyes filled with hostility!

In the forest south of the Oijukawa battlefield, a black-armored cavalryman suddenly appeared.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it was friendly forces.

But the next moment, the sound of sparse horse hooves was heard.

One by one, black-armored cavalrymen stepped out from the forest.

There were more and more of them, and at a glance, there were thousands of them.

These soldiers were in a very disheveled state, covered in dust and exhausted from the long journey.

This made some soldiers who had just relaxed their vigilance regain their composure.
Which one is this?
"General Mu?"

A cry of surprise came from the battlefield.

A soldier looked at the leader of the cavalry with a look of astonishment!

The person who came was Mu Chun, the assistant of the Rear Army Governor's Office, who had taken a detour from Lin'an Prefecture to Jingdong!

At this moment, he no longer had the dignity of a deputy general, but only confusion.

His face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot,
A few strands of hair casually fell in front of her face, swaying gently in the breeze.

He stared blankly at the glaring and devastated battlefield in front of him, with only one voice in his heart.

"Finished fighting again?"

When he was in Jingdong, he saw corpses everywhere and only the ruins of the camp and the Jingguan were left.

After galloping through the night, we finally arrived at Dingbian City.

There was also an empty military camp and a devastated battlefield.

We hurried to Oi River again, but it was still a mess and there were countless corpses.

He sat on his warhorse blankly, his eyes empty, enjoying the gentle breeze.

The same was true for the soldiers behind him.
He stood there in a daze, looking at the battlefield ahead.

Where they were, there was only silence.

The soldiers surrounding them kept shouting,

There was no response, and he looked confused.

what's wrong?

On the Lidu River, the Ming warships, with multiple masts and sails, sailed upstream against the wind and waves, and stopped at the ferry on the north side of Dingbian City in a mighty manner!
When the warship passed by, countless soldiers from both sides swarmed over.

The floating bridge was rebuilt step by step and the river returned to calm.

In the torture chamber of the warship, the hanging torture instruments are full of gloom.
As the warship swayed gently with the river water,

The sound of torture instruments colliding came one after another, clanging non-stop.

In the center of the torture chamber, there is a wide pillar connecting the upper and lower parts in the shape of a cross.

Former Luchuan general Haniaya is tied to it at this moment!
Two fierce-looking soldiers were whipping him with long whips.
Streaks of blood appeared and the skin and flesh were torn apart.

Haniaya remained silent, clenched her teeth and stared straight ahead.

In front of me, there was a clean square table with a teapot and some dried fruits on it.
There is a large chair next to it.
A young man in black clothes sat there quietly.
He was tall and handsome, with his dark hair carelessly thrown behind his head.

He was sipping his tea gently, his whole body filled with peace and tranquility.

Haniya panted, looked at the young man in front of her, and spoke through her teeth.
Because his mouth was open, a little blood dripped out.

"How did you break into Jingdong's camp?
With those few thousand people, you can't do it even if Aju Miao helps you."

Hearing this, some soldiers in the room looked helpless.
They had been hearing this all night long, and their ears were already callused.

Lu Yunyi raised his hand and gently pinched his brows:
"I have said it countless times, the coalition forces are the weakest army in the world.

It would be foolish to put them together.

Perhaps, there is only Siam in Jingdong camp, or only Annan, or only Luchuan.

It will take me a lot of effort to capture the camp."

Lu Yunyi suddenly laughed, clenched his hands, and gently hit his head:
"But there are still some troubles. Dealing with you guys is exhausting for me."

Hearing this, Haniya sneered.

He really wanted to tell the person in front of him that no one on the entire battlefield was as tired as he was!
Hanba, Aruta, Nabudi, and several Luchuan generals were killed or injured!
The entire Luchuan army's military affairs were placed on his shoulders alone.
Not only did they have to stay awake every day, they also had to work hard to find spies on the battlefield.
The hardships involved are beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Haniya was breathing rapidly and it took a lot of effort for her to calm down.
He looked at Lu Yunyi and asked in a deep voice:

"How did you place spies in the army's communication system? Who are your spies?"

Lu Yunyi sighed and waved his hand.

The whip stopped and two soldiers stood respectfully by.

"The people of Luchuan are smart and brave enough.
But I can tell you that there are no Ming spies in the Luchuan Army."

"impossible!"

It seemed like they were about to repeat the conversation, so Lu Yunyi raised his hand to stop them:
"Alright, alright, General Haniaya,

You are already tied to a pillar, is there any need for me to lie to you?
How about this, you and I each take a step back.
I like the local customs and people of different places. I asked some questions that have nothing to do with the military.

Good answer, I will be able to answer those questions for you, how about that? "

Haniaya was stunned and looked at Lu Yunyi with some suspicion.
For some reason, the pain that he had previously been able to bear now made him feel extremely uneasy, and the wound seemed to be throbbing violently.

He took a deep breath and nodded slightly:
"it is good."

Haniya's eyes flashed with determination.

Now that we have been defeated and captured, we must find out how the Ming army won.

Given his status, there is a chance that he may regain his freedom in the future.

Lu Yunyi looked at him with a half-smile, his eyes deep.

"I know a delicious thing called sweet potato.
Tell me where it is, and I will answer your questions."

Haniya's eyes narrowed, and he began to think quickly in his mind, but soon, his face was blank:
“What is a sweet potato?”

Lu Yunyi smiled, and Feng Yunfang quickly took out a big bag.

A strange and extremely ugly thing was taken out from it.

The two ends are slightly pointed, the middle part is thicker, and it is shaped like a spindle.

What is more noticeable are the small bumps on it and the roots sticking out from the bumps.

Hania looked at the ugly thing in front of her in a daze:
"what is this?"

"Mud." Lu Yunyi explained with a smile:

"How is my craftsmanship? In order to let you recognize them clearly, I made them one by one."

Lu Yunyi took the bag and took out a piece of mud.
This time it is spherical in shape, and also has some roots on the outside.

There was still a trace of confusion in Haniya's eyes.
A flash of disappointment flashed across Lu Yunyi's face.
As she took them out one after another, Haniya's expression remained blank.

Finally, he looked at the last oval sweet potato model in the bag.
The middle part is slightly bulging and the two ends are slightly flat, like a sweet potato.

The roots stuck to the side also fell off due to being squeezed, leaving the area bare.

Lu Yunyi no longer had any hope.

He took out the last piece of mud, and as he touched it, he rubbed off some roots.
This made Lu Yunyi feel irritated for no reason.
Damn it, everything goes wrong!

But when he took out this bare 'sweet potato',
Haniya's eyes suddenly widened, and her pupils contracted in an instant!

Ok?
Not only Lu Yunyi, but even Feng Yunfang, who had been staring at Haniaya, noticed this change!

"grown ups!"

Feng Yunfang let out a cry of surprise!
Lu Yunyi couldn't suppress his excitement and stood up.
Holding the sweet potato, he walked quickly to Haniaya and said in a hurried and urgent voice:

"Where is it?"

Haniaya was full of confusion, and her eyes flashed with a blankness she had never seen before.

Even if he caught me and the king yesterday,
He has never been so excited before, why is he like this now?

Could it be that he is hungry?
"Say it!!"

Seeing him hesitate, Lu Yunyi slapped him.

Snapped--

Haniaya's cheeks swelled up quickly.

She looked at him somewhat blankly, feeling the foreign object in her mouth, and spit out gently. It turned out to be two teeth.

Once again, he looked shocked.

Lu Yunyi was a little embarrassed, then smiled:

"General Haniaya, please forgive me for being agitated. Tell me, where is it?"

"May I ask, is there anything unusual about this thing?"

"cannot!"

Lu Yunyi spoke decisively, blinked his eyes and said:
"Well, my wife is a chieftain.
She died early for me, and her last wish was to eat sweet potatoes again.
This is the food from her hometown, but unfortunately she has never been able to find it.

If General Hania could tell me where the sweet potatoes are,

I can answer one of your questions.”

Haniaya naturally wouldn't believe such nonsense.

But after weighing the pros and cons, he nodded slightly:
"This thing is called tiao in Luchuan. If your confidante wants to eat it,

We can find it in the army's granary. We have brought some with us."

"In the army?" Lu Yunyi had a strange look on his face and felt ridiculous in his heart!

Feng Yunfang on the side ran out in a hurry.

Haniya nodded gently:
"This thing is sweet and can fill your stomach, but because it is too difficult to grow and too scarce, only some senior officers in the army can eat a few."

"what?"

Lu Yunyi's facial features were twisted together. Sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are the same plant.
The descriptions of "few" and "difficult to grow" sound a bit strange when applied to them.

Seeing that he didn't believe her, Haniya forced a smile.
"These things grow in the rice fields. They look like a vast field, but they only produce very few fruits."

"Rice?"

Lu Yunyi's expression suddenly became strange, his eyes widened.

“You planted them in water?”

Haniya frowned slightly and nodded.

"Hahahahaha!"

A hearty laugh suddenly appeared in the torture chamber.

Everyone was startled by the sudden laughter.
Haniya's face was full of suspicion and the soldiers' faces were full of shock. They had never seen a master like this before.

The laughter continued, and Lu Yunyi laughed so hard that tears came out.

Sweet potatoes like warmth and light, are drought-resistant, and cannot tolerate shade. They cannot be watered too much, or they will suffocate.

The people of Luchuan planted it in paddy fields and it actually survived. It's a wonder in the world!
Lu Yunyi's laughter gradually stopped, and a trace of relief flashed across his face.
Fortunately, the people of Luchuan did not discover such treasures, otherwise the battle would have been countless times more difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yunyi looked at him with a smile:
"General Haniya, let's leave farming to the Ming people like me. You Luchuan are really not capable of it."

Haniya looked confused and said:
"Is there a secret behind this thing?"

Lu Yunyi explained with a smile:

"From now on, there may be no more hungry people in my Ming Dynasty, and everyone can have enough to eat."

Haniya was stunned, and her pupils suddenly contracted! !
A great fear suddenly arose in my heart, fear of the unknown.

This thing is high-yielding? How is that possible?

Haniya's mood gradually calmed down.

He lowered his head somewhat disappointedly, revealing a smile that was full of bitterness.

"Now can you tell me why the Ming army anticipated the enemy's advance?"

Lu Yunyi paused as he was about to leave and turned his head suspiciously:
"You still want to listen?"

Haniya stared at Lu Yunyi with burning eyes:
"I've fought battles all my life, and this is the first time there's a battle I don't understand."

Lu Yunyi laughed, looked at the guards behind him, and ordered:

"Go, get a telescope."

"Yes!"

Panorama?
Haniya seemed to realize something and her breathing became rapid.

Soon, the guards came back and Lu Yunyi waved his hand:
"Untie him and show him."

Haniaya took the telescope impatiently.

Just by looking at it, he knew how to use it.

He put his little head in front of him and leaned forward!
The next moment, he stood there in a daze.

All thoughts came to a sudden stop and time seemed to stand still.

In the sight, the torture device in the corner has been enlarged to the point where it cannot be seen completely.

He also saw a drop of blood.

"The knob in the middle can adjust the distance." Lu Yunyi reminded.

Haniaya raised her head, placed her finger on the knob, and twisted it gently.

The object in front of him enlarged again, at a speed he could not react to.

Haniya's breathing became rapid, and a blush appeared on her pale face.
He knew that there were no spies at all!! No secret agents!!
It's new weapon!
He is a famous general in Luchuan, and he knows how important this thing is.
This is something that can quickly narrow the gap between generals.

If he Luchuan had this thing,

They wouldn't all be idiots, there would only be a few great generals!!
Haniaya couldn't let go of the panorama in front of her and looked left and right.

Tears welled up in my eyes, betraying my previous calmness.

Now, everything is too late.

"Who made this? It's so exquisitely crafted!"

Lu Yunyi smiled: "Li Boer."

After saying this, Lu Yunyi turned around and left amid everyone’s confusion.
