"I failed the Marshal's trust, causing heavy casualties among our soldiers. Please punish me, Marshal!"

After Wang Baobao returned to the military tent after the defeat, he immediately knelt down to apologize to King Ruyang.

"Tell me what happened quickly. It has only been a short time since I asked you to lead 50,000 troops to stop the enemy, and you told me that you returned in defeat!"

After hearing Wang Baobao's words, King Ruyang slapped his armrest and stood up.

However, while questioning Wang Baobao loudly, he was also secretly surprised in his heart. You know, as the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, no one knows his son's military talent better than him. Although he is young, he is not much worse than himself in military affairs. How could he lose, and lose so quickly?

Wang Baobao, who heard his father's questioning, did not dare to hide anything and immediately told him all the details of the battle, even including the fact that the other side had a great master to protect them, defeated a master and two innate masters on their side, and killed Dalba.

"Firearms!"

After listening to Wang Baobao's story, King Ruyang was shocked.

As the Grand Marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, he naturally knew that the Ming army had firearms, but he was not clear about the specific power. Now, when he heard his son's description, he was immediately shocked by the power of this thing.

Thinking of this, King Ruyang turned his head to look at King Jinlun who came back with him, and the other party nodded repeatedly, which was regarded as approving this statement.

After all, he was there at the time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe that the power of firearms could be so great. It was a completely one-sided war.

"I have failed the Marshal's trust, please punish me!"

Seeing that King Ruyang did not speak, Wang Baobao could only continue to apologize.

"Come here, former general Wang Baobao underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, causing our army to be defeated. Drag him down and beat him with forty military sticks!"

"Hiss!"

Everyone who heard King Ruyang's order took a breath of cold air. They did not expect that the other party would punish their son so severely.

Ordinary people would be beaten to death even if they were beaten with ten military sticks. What is the concept of forty military sticks? I am afraid that Wang Baobao, who has the cultivation of a first-class warrior, would be beaten into a meat pie.

Thinking of this, someone immediately stood up to plead, "Marshal, calm down. Although the former general was defeated first, now is the time to use people. Please suspend the punishment and allow the former general to make meritorious service while serving his sentence!"

Seeing this, the others also knelt down to plead, "Please allow the former general to make meritorious service while serving his sentence!"

"Forget it, since all the soldiers are pleading for you, and now is the time to use people, I will forgive you this time. If you can't make meritorious service while serving your sentence next time, don't blame me for punishing you for both crimes. I will never tolerate it!"

It is impossible for the King of Ruyang to really beat his son to death. He said this just to show others, and his confidant knew it well, so he led the soldiers to plead for mercy and give his own marshal a way out.

"I thank the Marshal for not killing me. If I lose again, I will be killed without the Marshal's punishment."

After hearing that he would not be beaten with a military stick, Wang Baobao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Although he knew that his father would not really kill him, what if no one pleaded for him?

Fortunately, he had accumulated a lot of reputation in the army over the years, and even those who had some grudges against him would not watch him being beaten to death in such a matter.

"Get up!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"You have all heard about the power of the Ming army's firearms, so how do you think we should fight this battle well?"

After skipping Wang Baobao's question, King Ruyang began to ask the generals how to deal with the Ming army's firearms.

The generals looked at each other in surprise. If it was really as Wang Baobao said, they really couldn't think of a way to deal with the enemy's firearms for a while.

Besides, at this time, on the city of Bianliang, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at the sudden retreat of the enemy army.

It was not until a scout came to report that the Ming reinforcements had arrived and killed more than 10,000 enemy soldiers that they realized what was going on and cheered loudly.

The soldiers guarding the city walls were like this, and the civil and military officials in the palace were even more so. They all asked their officials to order them to go out of the city to meet the enemy, and to attack the Yuan army from front and back together with the Ming army to drive the Yuan army back to the grassland.

Of course, there were people who had different opinions, and that person was the left prime minister Cai Jing.

"Prime minister, I think we should let the Ming army fight the Yuan army first, and then let my Song soldiers go out of the city to meet the enemy when it's almost over. This can also minimize the casualties of my Song soldiers."

But as soon as he spoke, he was immediately refuted by the right prime minister Qin Hui.

"Does the left prime minister want to put my Song country in an unjust position? SincerelyAlthough doing so can indeed reduce the casualties of our soldiers, the Ming army is not stupid, how can they not see our intention?

If the Ming army left in anger, what can our Song Dynasty rely on to drive away the Yuan army and recover the lost territory? Will Prime Minister Cai personally go to fight the Yuan army?

Or did Prime Minister Cai accept the benefits of the Yuan army, so he deliberately angered the Ming army and let the Yuan army continue to attack our Song Dynasty? "

"You are slandering me!"

Qin Hui's words immediately made Cai Jing and his people unable to sit still. If this was spread, their reputation would be ruined.

But before he could continue to explain, he was immediately interrupted by Emperor Zhao.

"The words of the right prime minister are exactly what I want. I will issue an order: order Han Shizhong to replace Li Gang as the main general and lead his troops out of the city to meet the enemy when the Ming army arrives and fights the Yuan army. "

After saying this, Emperor Zhao looked at Cai Jing with dissatisfaction, thinking that he was still thinking about fighting at this time.

Although it was true that he did not usually pay much attention to government affairs, he also knew that opportunities could not be missed. If he did not take this opportunity to hurt the Yuan army, it would not be long before the other side would come back again.

"Your Majesty is wise! ”

With the decision of Emperor Zhao, the matter was completely settled.

At this time, in the Yuan army tent, seeing that he had discussed for a long time but could not come up with a plan, King Ruyang finally decided to send martial arts masters to snipe the enemy's generals.

Although some firearms are powerful, they are only for ordinary people. If they are against martial artists, let alone innate and grandmasters, even ordinary first-class and super-first-class ones cannot be dealt with, unless they stand still and wait for the other party to kill them.

As for the Ming army generals being guarded by masters, this is not a problem. It's just a grandmaster, and they have it on their side.

While saying this, King Ruyang also took a special look at Mengchixing Bashiba and others not far away.

When Bashiba and others saw the other party looking at them, they all nodded in response, obviously approving this plan.
