Joy of Life: I dressed as a woman and became the Queen of Northern Qi!

Chapter 42: The Longmen Pass defenders are all defeated, Chen Luo's back-up plan
On the mountain far away from Longmen Pass.

According to Chen Luo's strength as a seventh-rank warrior, he can clearly see the situation on the battlefield.

You can clearly see the soldiers charging the city and falling, and the ferocious faces of the soldiers defending the city.

Haitang Duoduo saw it more clearly, and the tragic battlefield made her feel a little bit uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is it worth it? In fact, this battle didn't have to happen."

Is it worth sacrificing tens of thousands of soldiers just to capture Longmen Pass and gain more advantages in subsequent negotiations?
The answer is definitely no, there is no doubt about that.

But this war does not bring about the greater good of negotiations.

Instead, it was to intimidate, to intimidate Qing State, and tell Qing State that they also had the strength to fight back!
It would be worth it only if the Kingdom of Qing dared not to attack Northern Qi again within a short period of time!
He was confident that he could transform Northern Qi from a weak country to a strong one within two years!

By then, they will no longer be paper tigers, but fierce tigers roaring in the mountains!
Even if Qing Kingdom sends more troops, they don’t need to be afraid!
So no matter how not worth it this battle is, it is imperative!

Otherwise, given Emperor Qing's temperament, he might turn hostile immediately after the peace talks.

While they still have 80,000 prisoners in their hands, Emperor Qing does not dare to go against the will of the people and turn against them.

They must show their fangs and bite off a piece of flesh from Qing State.

Even if this fang is fake, even if this piece of meat has to be returned, we must do this!

So Chen Luo nodded without hesitation and said affirmatively: "Worth it!"

"If we don't fight, and Qing turns against us and attacks again, we will lose even more soldiers!"

"Even the common people will be affected!"

Haitang Duoduo fell silent, not knowing what to say.

Is it better to sacrifice some people in exchange for future stability, or not to sacrifice some people and face greater losses in the future.

This is a dilemma, and neither choice is right.

As if he understood what Haitang Duoduo was thinking, Chen Luo said without looking away: "As the people in power, we need to be responsible for everyone."

"Those in power have to make choices that others cannot make, and have to bear the consequences and infamy that comes with that choice. This is the price that those in power pay for enjoying power!"

The time given to him was too little. If he had another month or even half a month, he would have a better idea.

If he's lucky, he might be able to summon an army of 100,000 tonight and directly sweep across the Kingdom of Qing!
But the probability is too small and opportunity waits for no one.

Maybe what he is doing now is not the best way, but it is definitely the most useful and best way at the moment!

Haitang Duoduo first looked at Chen Luo in surprise, and then began to ponder these words.

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed right.

Those in power have an obligation to minimize losses or even avoid them.

While holding power, they are also responsible for the people. This is their obligation!
"Let's see, Longmen Pass will be broken today!" Chen Luo said in a deep voice.

He was not completely unprepared for this battle.

The Jinyiwei did not have any secret agents that could be used in Longmen Pass, but several members of Luowang that were picked last night were in Longmen Pass.

After all, this is the border town of Qing State, and there are definitely a few secret agents who can be used, such as at a time like this.

Haitang Duoduo stopped thinking and turned to look at the battlefield: "Will we win today? It seems you are well prepared."

After a few days of contact, she had a deep understanding of Chen Luo's temper.

It can be said that Chen Luo is a person who will never do anything without certainty!
He is also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Since Chen Luo said that it would definitely be defeated, he must have made a lot of preparations.

Chen Luo narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth: "Now let's calculate, it should be effective, right?"

·····
Longmen Pass battlefield.

"Puchi~! !"

"Puff!" A smelly sound suddenly came from the city wall.

Several soldiers who were throwing rolling logs froze up and subconsciously let go of the rolling logs to cover their buttocks.

The strong stench made the soldiers nearby look at them with contempt.

But before they could say anything, there was another burst of 'puff~puff' sounds.

This sound was like a signal, and for a while, the smelly sounds on the city wall came one after another.

"Damn it! There must be something wrong with today's breakfast. I was wondering why there were beans in the rice. It turned out to be croton seeds!"

"I thought the mess camp had improved our food. We ate three bowls at once. No wonder I was the first to react!"

"No! I can't take it anymore! You guys hold on for now, I'll be back from the toilet!"

"Why the hell aren't you holding back? Wait for me!!"

A few soldiers who couldn't hold it any longer didn't care about the situation and ran towards the city in a hurry, covering their buttocks.

After a few people took the lead, the other soldiers no longer hesitated and turned around to run down.

"Come back! Come back to this general! Deserting in battle is a crime that must be punished!!"

The general defending the city held his stomach and pointed at them angrily and cursed.

But the soldiers, who were already anxious, didn't buy his tricks and just rushed forward, fearing that they would not have a spot if they were too late.

The general drew his sword angrily and roared, "Damn it!! I will definitely~definitely~!!! Order the other soldiers to take over!"

But as he was speaking, his churning stomach made him unable to continue.

In the end, he could only hold his stomach and give the order to replace the soldiers. Then he ran towards the city while holding his buttocks, shouting to the soldiers who came over:

"You bunch of bastards, leave a hole for this general, or I will kill you all!!"

Anyway, there are other soldiers to take over, it’s okay!

With this thought in mind, soon only a few soldiers were left on the city wall.

But although they were still holding on, they were just holding their stomachs in pain and couldn't even stand straight.

The soldiers who were supposed to replace them were nowhere to be seen, as if they had not heard the order at all.

The strong smell was even smelled by the Northern Qi soldiers under the city, which frightened them and made them alert.

"Gold juice, it's gold juice! Raise your shield, raise your shield quickly!!"

"Damn those Qing bastards, I was wondering why they didn't pour the golden juice, it turns out they were waiting for us here!"

"Wait, this doesn't taste like gold juice, something is wrong!"

But after waiting for a while, they did not see any unknown liquid falling down, and even the rolling logs and rocks suddenly stopped.

The Northern Qi soldiers looked at each other in confusion, but did not care whether there was any conspiracy and took the opportunity to climb up.

The higher they went, the stronger the smell became, making it difficult for them to open their eyes.

When they climbed up the city wall despite the stench, they thought they would be greeted by the swords of the Qing soldiers.

But what they didn't expect was that there were only a few soldiers huddled together on the city wall with expressions of pleasure and pain on their faces.

The others don’t even have a hair!

“This…Kill!!”

"Take advantage of his illness to kill him, kill him!!"

The Northern Qi soldiers were stunned at first, but after they realized what was happening, they immediately climbed up the city wall and swung their swords at those soldiers.
