This time they had won an unprecedented victory, so they didn't have to worry about morale dropping for the time being. All of this was thanks to the plant hybrid in front of them.
The great favor is beyond words, Lu Huajun slowly blew out a smoke ring,
"That's enough. We need to tie him up as a prisoner."
Only then did Yang Yu stop what he was doing and said "Oh".
After being beaten down, Pisong had only one word in his mind: MMP. He didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Lu Huajun could have clearly called a stop earlier, but he just watched the show for a long time. It was obvious that Lu Huajun wanted Yang Yu to fight for a while longer.
Pisong knew it, but what could he do about it
He was already a defeated general. No matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. He could only lie down and let others slaughter him.
After Pisong was subdued, the battle to retake Jinju City officially came to an end.
This siege ended with a great victory for the Wansheng Kingdom's recapture army.
Thanks to the outstanding performance of Yang Yu and his troops, the First Unit of the Western Fifth Army annihilated more than 900 enemies and captured more than 1,600 soldiers at the cost of less than 100 casualties. Only a few Rose soldiers broke through the siege.
The Luhua Army was quite satisfied with this result, not only in terms of casualties but also in terms of time.
Initially, the Luhua Army was prepared for a stalemate of several hours, but within less than two hours of the battle, they completely recaptured Jinju City.
This gave them more time to try to retake the Long Boots region, and even to attack the Fengmang region, putting pressure on the Rose Empire's defenses.
"Give the order to rest here for three hours, then continue marching to the next city."
"yes!"
Hearing his subordinate's resounding answer, Luhua Jun nodded, and then walked straight towards the hero of this siege.
Yang Yu had just finished counting his troops and reported the casualties to his superiors. As the vanguard, although some of the troops led by Yang Yu were seriously injured, fortunately no one died.
The training that Yang Yu gave them played an indispensable role in this.
If Yang Yu hadn't grabbed them whenever he had time and instilled various combat points into them.
As the first unit to charge, they were blessed by God that only a dozen or twenty people were killed.
Since many of them were just superficial injuries, Iyas used her own holy light power to treat the injured members one by one.
For those with slightly more serious conditions, Yang Yu took out medicine from his system to help them recover and relieve pain.
"Thanks to you, this battle was able to end so quickly."
Using his eyes to comfort the injured soldiers, Lu Huajun affirmed Yang Yugang's outstanding performance.
"It's not just my achievement. It's all thanks to my troops."
Lu Huajun put his hand on his chin and nodded, "I'm sorry, it's my mistake. It's your outstanding performance that allowed this siege to end so quickly. Thank you."
"This is what we should do. No need to thank me." Yang Yu squinted his eyes and glanced at the prisoners who were tied up and slowly gathered. "What should we do with so many prisoners?"
"Generally speaking, we will hand them over to designated people for management and use them to exchange prisoners with the Rose Empire."
Lu Huajun explained,
"Of course, this is not a one-to-one exchange. If the person is an officer, or someone of noble status, more captives will be needed for the exchange."
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this.”
"There is no other way. After all, most of the officers who are captured are cowards and have no real strength."
Lu Huajun took a deep puff from his pipe, and the smoke rings floated out slowly with his sigh.
"I still remember a noble prince who was defeated in battle and ambushed. We used five hundred prisoners to buy his safety."
Lu Huajun said it calmly, but when he heard the news, he wished he could rush into the enemy camp and gore the noble young master to death with his deer horns.
It was extremely difficult to capture Rose's soldiers. Five hundred people were only one-fifth of the number of Rose's soldiers that Wansheng Kingdom was able to capture last year.
The five hundred prisoners could have been exchanged for some soldiers who were willing to fight and could continue to fight, but...
If the man's father had not provided financial support to Wansheng Kingdom, they would not have spent so many captives to exchange for that man.
"If I become a prisoner, it shouldn't take many prisoners to exchange. When the time comes, please take the trouble to exchange me back as soon as possible." Yang Yu joked.
Lu Huajun shook his head, "If possible, it's better not to fall into their hands.
There are countless compatriots there waiting for us to welcome them home, and everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you were captured now, you would probably have to grow vegetables or build city walls over there for four or five years before you could come back."
"Really? That's a big problem."
Yang Yu smiled.
"If I can't achieve great things, I won't be able to receive rewards from His Majesty and cure my illness.
After this, please give me more opportunities to make achievements.”
“There is nothing lacking in war, except opportunities to demonstrate one’s abilities, but don’t be too eager for quick success and lose your life.
Take a break, this war has just begun and we don't have much time."
After saying that, Luhua Jun took a step forward to comfort the other teams that participated in climbing the city wall.
"Isn't there much time? Same here."
While talking to himself, Yang Yu noticed a streak of white snow falling in front of him. Looking up at the sky, he saw more white snow slowly falling from the sky.
The first snow of the winter fell on the Cerro Vomon Plain.
On the front battlefield between the Luoze Empire and the Wansheng Kingdom, a middle-aged man also raised his head and watched the winter snow gradually getting heavier.
"The snow is finally here, but it's really late!"
The middle-aged man swung his lynx-like ears left and right, shaking off the snowflakes that were gradually piling up on his head. His orange-yellow eyes stared intently at the other side of the river which was becoming increasingly blurred due to the heavy snow. It was unknown what he was thinking.
The water of the flowing Lacasile River gradually froze into pieces of floating ice, which flowed along the river and collided with each other on the river surface.
The splashing water becomes the best adhesive in the cold winter, gluing the scattered pieces of ice together.
The river began to freeze.
The construction of the city wall of the Rose Empire was also forced to stop. The magician stood on the city wall and planned to use fire magic to slow down the condensation of the river.
But everything they did was useless.
No matter how many times the magician releases the fire, it will become a weak flickering flame in this heavy snow, not to mention trying to stop the river from solidifying.
After trying several times, the magicians stopped wasting time and followed the main force, evacuating the river edge in the wind and snow and shrinking the front line deep into the Fengmang area.
This heavy snow lasted for three whole days.
On December 16, 414 of the Laux calendar, the snow stopped and the entire plain was covered with a layer of white.
A crack appeared in the gloomy sky, casting bright sunlight on the plain, and the wide river turned into a mirror at this moment.
More than 300,000 troops from the Wansheng State who were trying to recapture the plains gathered at the riverside in a mighty force.
