I should marry the traitor

Chapter 223: Do you pray from the front or the back?
After everything was ready, Dong Bai led the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry into the border of Bohai County and set up camp.

The Origami King had already gone to the Beidi tribe in advance to help deploy the army, but the Beidi army's assembly speed was still a bit slow, so Dong Bai could only set up camp at the border of Bohai County and wait.

Before Qu Yiyi led 30,000 northern troops to Bohai, Dong Bai would not get too close to Bohai County.

After all, camping usually requires proximity to a water source, so camping along a river is usually a good choice.

However, if they stay there for too long, they will have to guard against the Dongyou navy cooperating with the Bohai County garrison to attack the camp at night. Although Dong Bai is very confident in the Xiliang army, it is better to let the soldiers rest before the battle begins.

In any case, it would be impossible for Dong Bai to launch an attack before the arrival of the Northern Di army. The huge losses in the siege would definitely make her very painful, so it would be better to let the Northern Di fill the line.

Given how ruthless Qu Yiyi is, she will definitely order the Northern Di army to attack fiercely, and then use her ability as the Corpse Demon King to cover the battlefield, striving to take over the Bohai County City in one battle.

Anyway, those who died were the Northern Di people, not her direct troops, or it could be said that Qu Yiyi didn't have such a thing as direct troops at all.

Considering her method of treating soldiers as consumables, it is okay for her to lead an army temporarily, but if she really has to lead the army for a long time, I guess the people under her will rebel.

However, Dong Bai still miscalculated a little. Qu Yiyi was indeed cruel and ruthless, and would not take the lives of the Beidi people seriously.

But the Origami King would tell Dong Bai: "The lives of the Beidi people are also lives!"

In the military tent, Yuan glared at Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi, and expressed strong opposition to Qu Yiyi's plan of violent attack.

Because a full five thousand people were turned into military rations by friendly forces last time, the Origami King is quite concerned about this battle.

Although there was enough food and grass to not continue using Beidi Erlang as military rations, Yuan was no longer the illiterate girl she used to be. Li Changge had her read many books, and now her mind had been severely polluted by knowledge.

The Origami King, who was severely corrupted by knowledge, knew very well that each of these Qian commanders was more ruthless than the other, especially the Northern Di Army, which was not their own army, and they would use them as cannon fodder without any mercy.

Of course Yuan was still naive. She did not expect that even though she was already standing here to attend the combat meeting, these two cruel women actually wanted to use the Beidi people as cannon fodder. They really had no shame at all!
That's why Yuan shouted out in anger.

Qu Yiyi waved her hands impatiently and said:
"We want to capture Dongyou. Bohai County is just the first battle, and the hard battle is still to come."

"If we can't quickly take over Bohai County and start building ships and training the navy, then how long will it take to attack Dongyou Island?"

"And not many people will die."

"I am the descendant of the Corpse Demon King. My ability range can easily cover the top of Bohai County City."

"As long as the Northern Di army reaches the top of the city, they can inflict effective casualties on the Bohai defenders first."

"After a certain amount of corpses are piled up, I will instantly allow our army to continue to flow..."

"Shut up!" Facing Qu Yiyi's persuasion, the Origami King glared back fiercely: "I knew that you cruel women would do this. I have already prayed to His Majesty in advance."

"What did you pray with? The front or the back?"

"It doesn't matter where I pray. As long as I don't use your prayers, that's fine."

"Tsk, so, what did His Majesty promise you?"

"Your Majesty has promised me that you will not cause heavy casualties to the Northern Di unless it is necessary. The Northern Di have intermarried with the Qian people, and in a few generations they will also be Qian people."

Qu Yiyi glanced at Dong Bai after hearing this. Dong Bai spread his hands and looked like he was going to give up. Qu Yiyi could only ask:
"What about Bohai County City? Do we really need to besiege the city for a long time?"

"This will take too long. You know, Bohai County is close to the sea, and we can't cut off its food supplies by just besieging the city."

"Do we have to cut off the water supply? That would be too much of a project. It would be better to just storm directly."

King Origami shook his head and said, "Don't worry. His Majesty has said that if we can't take Bohai County in a short time, we can make a long-term plan. He has his own way."

Qu Yiyi and Dong Bai looked at each other again, and they saw the reluctance in each other's eyes.

Both Dong Bai and Qu Yiyi thought that they could take this opportunity to perform well in front of Li Changge.

They did not doubt that Li Changge had a solution. After all, Li Changge's current performance was pure Super Long Aotian, and everything was within his calculations.

But the two of them came here to show themselves. If they can't even take down the Bohai County City and need Li Changge's help, then there is no point for them to show off.

But in name, Qu Yiyi is the commander of the Northern Di army this time. In fact, these Northern Di people must listen to the Origami King. If this woman does not give in, it will be difficult for Qu Yiyi to command this elite Northern Di army.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, a slender and smooth girl with black hair pushed open the door curtain of the tent and walked in.

That was none other than the vanguard officer of the Xiliang Army this time—Li Hexian.

This time, Dong Bai left Guo Shishi in Luoyang to serve Li Changge, and made Li Hexian his deputy.

"Master Dong, our army has captured a scout from the Bohai garrison."

"Oh, let's take it and see."

Two Xiliang soldiers brought out the Bohai garrison scout who was tied up, and everyone was a little surprised.

There's no way. This scout's hair and beard have begun to turn gray, and his face is full of wrinkles. He looks a little too old.

Scouts and archers, these two types of soldiers may sound ordinary, but in fact they must be the elite in the army.

Scouts usually need to have excellent horsemanship and be able to move as fast as the wind, while archers need to have amazing arm strength and abundant physical energy. These two types of soldiers are usually not old, weak, or sick.

But now, the scouts of the Bohai County garrison are all white-haired old men. One can imagine the quality of the Bohai County garrison.

"Although I know that the elite troops of Bohai County have long been transported away by Yuan Shao's ships."

"But I didn't expect that even the scouts were such old men."

"Is this a coincidence?"

"Probably not." Li Hexian shook his head and said, "According to the information sent by the spies, there are actually not many soldiers who are good at fighting in the entire Bohai County. If Huang Guoer had not taken over the Bohai County City, the probability of the other party opening the gate and surrendering would be quite high."

After hearing this, Qu Yiyi turned around and looked at the Origami King and said, "Did you hear that? The people in Bohai County are just a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people. Your Beidi army can't even defeat the old, weak, sick and disabled people?"

Yuan frowned and said coldly: "If I only have the Bohai garrison, who can't defeat it? You know that the Dongyou navy is watching covetously, who can stop it?"
