That's why Qin Chuan wanted them all to die on the battlefield in the next battle.
In any case, the troops under Wang Yanzhang's command are the most elite and disciplined in the Great Liang.
With the addition of the Empress's Qi army, they will be able to sweep across the world in the future.
As night fell, Liang's army set up camp ten miles outside Luzhou City.
Inside the central army camp, Zhu Youzhen was talking with Qin Chuan.
"I have already spread the word that if Li Xingyun dares to escape from Luzhou City, the day the city falls will be the day of the massacre!"
Zhu Youzhen said it casually.
He's no good person; human life is worthless in his eyes.
He wouldn't hesitate to kill everyone in the world if he could capture Li Xingyun and find the Longquan Treasure.
Qin Chuan looked up at Zhu Youzhen.
Whether or not to massacre the city is naturally up to him.
However, it must be admitted that Zhu Youzhen was indeed somewhat clever.
He calculated that given Li Xingyun's kind and soft-hearted nature, he would rush over as soon as he heard the news of the massacre, even if he wasn't in Luzhou City.
"I don't understand military campaigns or anything like that, so I rely entirely on the Imperial Advisor."
Zhu Youzhen played with the dice and said:
"No matter how many people die or are injured, we must take Luzhou City. If all else fails, we will use the invincible general of the Great Liang!"
"The Invincible General of the Great Liang..."
Qin Chuan's lips twitched involuntarily.
The "Invincible General of the Great Liang" that Zhu Youzhen mentioned was not a person, but a cannon.
According to historical records, cannons did not appear until the Southern Song Dynasty at the earliest.
In the world of Bad Guys, this was all done many years ahead of schedule—that's definitely cutting-edge technology.
This cannon was actually made by Hanba, one of the four great corpse ancestors, known as the "Red Earth Thousand Miles Painter".
Hanba's research on gunpowder far surpassed that of others of his time, which enabled him to develop such advanced technology.
In Qin Chuan's plan, Hanba was a talent he absolutely had to recruit.
With the Hanba, he could later lead dozens of cannons to the grasslands to bombard the Northern Kingdom, letting the Shuliduo and other foreign tribes know what despair was.
However, Qin Chuan did not intend to use artillery in the next battle.
Otherwise, he wouldn't achieve his goal.
Zhong Xiaokui suddenly entered the tent, bringing news of the Jin army's movements:
"Jin troops are rushing to the aid of Luzhou from Shangdang, Tunliu, and Huguan!"
"As expected of Li Cunxu!"
Qin Chuan gave it a slight thumbs up in his heart.
Li Cunxu's arrangement was undeniably brilliant.
With the Luzhou garrison holding firm and refusing to engage, coupled with harassment from the troops stationed in the three other locations, it was impossible for the Liang army to capture Luzhou in a short time.
Once Liang's army is exhausted, he will lead reinforcements to attack from the rear, and a great victory will be easily achieved.
Unfortunately, the plan was wonderful, but reality was not.
Li Siyuan, that big-eared scoundrel, couldn't wait for Li Cunxu to suffer a defeat. How could he possibly send reinforcements so readily?
By the time Li Cunxu arrived with reinforcements, Luzhou City had already been captured by him without regard for casualties.
"To avoid any unforeseen complications, our army should attack the city immediately."
Qin Chuan spoke calmly.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible!"
Zhong Xiaokui quickly stopped her.
They have just completed a long and arduous expedition, and this is precisely the time for them to recuperate and build up their strength.
Moreover, even she, an outsider, knew that it was not advisable to attack a city at night.
What is this Grand Preceptor up to? Does he even understand military strategy?
"Speed is of the essence in war! Anyone who dares to disrupt our morale again will be executed without mercy!"
At this moment, Qin Chuan seemed to be possessed by a certain Captain Chang, and began to operate.
Chapter 56 The Battle of Luzhou, Spanking Little Sunflower's Butt!
The night was deep when war drums sounded.
The vast majority of Liang troops, under Qin Chuan's orders, launched an attack on Luzhou City, with only a portion of the troops remaining in their camps to rest.
To ensure these troublemakers would die a more convenient death, Qin Chuan offered a generous reward.
Anyone who climbs to the top of Luzhou city wall will be promoted three ranks, and the first person to rush into the Crown Prince's residence and capture Li Cunxu alive will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households.
Wealth stirs the heart, power dazzles the eye.
A large number of Liang soldiers charged toward the city walls of Luzhou, howling loudly.
They were greeted by logs, falling stones, oil, and bows and arrows that Li Cunxu had already ordered his men to prepare!
In an instant, blood flowed like a river, and countless people were killed or wounded.
In the camp behind, Zhong Xiao Kui's face turned pale.
Such a simple and brutal siege would mean that even if they captured Luzhou City, the 100,000 troops they brought would be almost wiped out.
In that case, both Daliang and Jin will be severely damaged, which would give Qi a huge advantage.
Qin Chuan and Zhu Youzhen, however, remained quite calm.
One did it intentionally, and the other treated human life as worthless.
The two men drank tea or played dice, as if they were on a leisurely trip rather than a war.
"Xiao Kui, let's bet on whether we can take Luzhou tonight."
Zhu Youzhen was bored playing alone, so she simply invited Zhong Xiaokui to join her.
"With the Grand Preceptor's tactics, we will surely capture Luzhou tonight, but our army will suffer heavy casualties!"
Zhong Xiao Kui's face looked very unpleasant.
The garrison in Luzhou City numbered less than 20,000, while the Liang army numbered as many as 100,000.
With such a disparity in troop strength, coupled with a battle tactic that disregards casualties, how could they possibly fail to capture it?
But what should we do after we win?
How to deal with the other Jin troops?
"Then I'll bet that we won't be able to take Luzhou City tonight."
Zhu Youzhen stroked his chin, a mischievous grin on his face:
"Those who lose the bet will be punished."
He was a compulsive gambler and had never lost.
At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly ordered the retreat.
Zhong Xiao Kui was dumbfounded.
The Jin army on the city wall was clearly on the verge of collapse.
Wouldn't retreating now give them a chance to catch their breath?
"Because this Imperial Preceptor wants to see Lord Zhong punished!"
Qin Chuan said casually.
The real reason, of course, was that he wanted more Liang soldiers to fall under the walls of Luzhou.
Zhu Youzhen and Zhong Xiaokui took his excuse seriously.
"The Imperial Advisor is indeed on my side!"
Zhu Youzhen laughed heartily:
"I will give the opportunity to punish Xiao Kui to the Imperial Advisor!"
Zhong Xiao Kui's face turned bright red, both ashamed and indignant.
She had served as Zhu Youzhen's bodyguard for many years, so she naturally understood what kind of punishment he was referring to.
Many maids had been whipped on the buttocks by Zhu Youzhen before.
She never imagined that one day it would be her turn.
Qin Chuan, the dignified Yin Emperor of the Xuanming Sect and the Grand Preceptor of the Great Liang Dynasty, actually gave up a great opportunity to fight just to watch her get a spanking.
This person, like Zhu Youzhen, is no good!
With the Great Liang in their hands, where is the future?
"Come with me."
Ignoring Zhong Xiaokui's murderous glare, Qin Chuan strode into the tent.
"Xiao Kui, hurry up and go!"
Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhong Xiaokui was still standing there in a daze and urged her repeatedly.
He always believed that one's gambling etiquette reflects one's character, and that if you're willing to gamble, you have to accept the consequences.
Gritting her teeth, Zhong Xiaokui crawled into the tent.
She closed her eyes in humiliation, and like a little bitch, she stuck out her buttocks and lay down at Qin Chuan's feet.
Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled.
