Chapter 146 The Northern Barbarian Army of Ten Thousand, Qin Wu's Wolf Pack Tactics
"Your Highness, the people of this tribe are simply not human."
Gu Qingyue stormed into the main tent in a huff.
He said angrily to Qin Wu.
When she went to rescue the enslaved people of Dongqin, the scene she witnessed ignited her fury.
This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene since she was born.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Qin Wu inquired.
He also wanted to hear what the people of this tribe had done to make Gu Qingyue so angry.
Gu Qingyue immediately told Qin Wu everything she had seen.
When Gu Qingyue went to rescue people, she found that all the people of Dongqin were on all fours and could only crawl on the ground.
Moreover, the place where she ate was a pig trough, and she even saw a slaughterhouse not far away.
There was also a lot of human skin and flesh inside.
You don't even need to think to know what kind of place that is.
These northern barbarians treated the people of Eastern Qin like livestock, raising them until they were grown before killing and eating them.
This is not human, it's inhuman.
After hearing Gu Qingyue's description, Qin Wu's anger was almost uncontrollable.
He knew that the northern barbarians enslaved the people of Eastern Qin and called them, the people of Eastern Qin and Western Zhou, "two-legged sheep."
Unexpectedly, they actually treated the people of Dongqin like livestock.
"Those northern barbarians, they really dare to do that!"
Qin Wu said angrily, word by word.
"By my decree, all the corpses of the northern barbarians shall be thrown to feed the wolves."
Qin Wu coldly gave the order.
He wanted to ensure that these northern barbarians would not die a peaceful death.
Don't the northern barbarians worship a wolf god? Then let them feed the wolves.
"Yes."
Gu Qingyue accepted the order immediately.
Next, the army set off with the corpses of these northern barbarians.
Whenever they encountered wolves along the way, they would simply throw the carcass at them to feed the wolves.
In the end, a large pack of wolves gathered behind their army.
However, Qin Wu didn't care.
After all, these wolves dared not approach their army, nor could they cause any harm to it.
If these wolves dare to step forward, they will only become wolf-skin coats.
Wolves are fierce, but that doesn't mean they are unaware of danger.
On the contrary, these wild animals have a much stronger sense of danger than humans.
The reason they followed the army was so that they could fill their stomachs without having to exert any effort, thanks to the corpses that Qin Wu and his men threw away every day.
The army swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum, causing rivers of blood to flow across the entire Northern Barbarian territory.
The northern barbarians who were killed now tremble at the mere mention of Qin Wu's name.
As they approached the court of the Left Wise King, the army finally joined together, but the road ahead was blocked by the Northern Barbarian army.
The barbarian king and two wise kings raised an army of one million, intending to encircle and annihilate the Eastern Qin army in one fell swoop.
"Your Highness, the Barbarian King and the two Wise Kings have temporarily ceased hostilities. The three sides have joined forces with a million troops, intending to annihilate us."
Qi Ye reported this to Qin Wu.
"They acted quickly, joining forces so soon and gathering an army of a million."
"But what's the use? Do you think I'd actually fight them head-on?"
Qin Wu sneered.
He never intended to engage the northern barbarians in direct combat when he sent troops there.
"Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Qi Ye asked.
"Continue to break up into smaller units and focus on raids and kills, constantly harassing the Northern Barbarian army."
Qin Wu sneered.
He wouldn't take the huge risk of confronting the Northern Barbarian army head-on.
After all, he only had 600,000 troops under his command, and he had lost some along the way, as well as sent some to escort civilians back to Jubei City.
He now only has an army of 500,000.
"Should we continue using the wolf pack tactic against the Northern Barbarian army?"
Qi Ye didn't expect Qin Wu to continue using the wolf pack tactic.
"Yes, the Northern Barbarians have a million-strong army, while we only have 500,000. We have no advantage. It would be better to break up our forces into smaller ones and slowly whittle down the Northern Barbarian army."
Qin Wu nodded.
"Go and relay the order!"
Qin Wu continued.
"Yes."
The newly assembled army then split into smaller groups of thousands and dispersed in all directions.
At the Northern Barbarian Army's location.
"Your Majesty, Your Highnesses, according to our scouts, the Zhenbei Army has been completely dispersed."
A general reported to the barbarian king and the two wise kings on his left and right.
When their scouts came to report the news, the others were somewhat bewildered.
They assembled a million-strong army, intending to fight a decisive battle with the Zhenbei Army, but the Zhenbei Army simply dispersed.
He was completely baffled as to what the Zhenbei Army was trying to do.
Unable to understand, he went directly to report to the barbarian king and the two wise kings on his left and right.
I want to see if they know anything.
"You're saying the entire Zhenbei Army has dispersed? Are you sure?"
The barbarian king was somewhat bewildered after hearing his general's report.
He really couldn't understand what the Divine Martial King was trying to do.
"It's confirmed. I sent out many scouts to investigate, and the results were all the same."
The general said.
"You two wise princes, do you know what's going on?"
The barbarian king inquired.
I wanted to see if the two of them knew anything.
"Barbarian King, I don't know either."
The Left Wise King shook his head.
He also wanted to know why the Divine Martial King was doing this.
Logically speaking, the Divine Martial King should have chosen to fight them directly and annihilate them in one fell swoop, thus taking down the Northern Barbarians.
But now the Divine Martial King has ordered the army to disperse. Is he preparing to withdraw his troops?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard the Right Wise King say, "Could it be that the Divine Martial King is preparing to withdraw his troops?"
The Left Wise King did not expect that the Right Wise King would reveal his true thoughts.
"Withdraw troops? This Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin shouldn't be someone who retreats so easily."
The barbarian king did not believe that Qin Wu would withdraw his troops directly.
This man is not one to be afraid of anything, and with an army of 500,000, it's unlikely he would have slaughtered those tribes along the way just for this purpose.
"Hmm, this guy was able to conquer the Southern Qi, so he definitely wouldn't retreat so easily. I just don't know what he's planning to do by dispersing his entire army."
The Left Wise King nodded in agreement.
He also didn't believe that the Divine Martial King of Eastern Qin would retreat so easily.
This is completely inconsistent with his understanding of the Divine Warrior King.
After all, the Northern Barbarians and Qin Wu had been fighting for several years and had a good understanding of each other.
"Whatever the Divine Martial King is planning, send out more scouts to investigate, lest we fall into his trap."
The barbarian king couldn't understand it either, and immediately gave the order.
As long as they keep a close watch on the Divine Martial King's movements, nothing will happen.
After the general left, he immediately dispatched a large number of scouts to investigate what Qin Wu was up to.
However, the scouts he sent out were quickly eliminated by Qin Wu's men.
Qin Wu and his army vanished from everyone's sight.
This greatly surprised the barbarian king; what exactly was Qin Wu planning to do?
However, the northern barbarians have a vast territory and a sparse population. It is not difficult to find a large army quickly, but it is not so easy to find small, scattered groups of troops.
But he still didn't believe that Qin Wu would withdraw his troops directly.
He then sent men to search along the route towards Jubei City, hoping to find Qin Wu's army.
Let's see if Qin Wu really withdrew his troops.
