Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 769 - 725: The Weakest

Although she now has her own tent and her own dedicated area, she inevitably has to spend every day with these soldiers.

Normally speaking, she shouldn't have much of a reaction upon hearing these words.

But for some reason, when she heard Lin Yi say he was going to relieve himself, her delicate face couldn't help but blush.

Perhaps it's because she has a special feeling for him.

Of course, don't misunderstand, this special feeling is not that kind of feeling.

It's a sense of admiration, a blind faith.

After all, Lin Yi had just casually saved all their lives.

Moreover, Lin Yi's appearance and stature were quite handsome.

Apart from his peculiar outfit, there wasn't a single flaw one could pick on.

Leng Yu believed if Lin Yi were to put on a scholarly robe, he would definitely be a dashing young master.

If he donned armor, he would surely be a cold and stern general.

It's not that Leng Yu rated him so high; it's simply that Lin Yi's handsome face truly deserved such praise.

What's more, this is the ancient times, not modern society, so love at first sight isn't too difficult to happen.

Of course, saying this might be premature, after all, the two have only met once.

Besides, Lin Yi hadn't shown any indication of interest in her.

After all, regardless, Lin Yi is a man with a family, and he remains faithful to Xiao Zihan.

Leng Yu herself hasn't thought about it either.

Looking at the handsome and tall figure heading towards the rear tent, Leng Yu's previously expressionless face also showed a faint smile.

"Miss, we've won, oh wait, I mean, General, General, we've won."

While Leng Yu was gazing at Lin Yi's retreating figure in a daze, several attendants came running by her side.

If Lin Yi were here, he'd surely notice that, although dressed in male attire, they all lacked Adam's apples on their smooth necks.

This indicated that these people, without exception, were like Leng Yu, dressed as men.

But thinking it through, it made sense; these were surely Leng Yu's maids.

After all, being a woman in a camp full of men was quite inconvenient.

Snapped out of her reverie by the noise, Leng Yu turned around, looking at the two little maids, with a helpless expression on her face:

"Tell everyone to quickly clean the battlefield, then retreat with me to the Great Wall, there's still a tough battle waiting for us."

As for why they don't escape at this point, it's already been explained.

Aside from having the Great Wall at their back, they're almost completely surrounded by Yan Country's cavalry.

At this time, they have no escape route. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The only choice is to go up the wall and hold out.

As for why not climb over the wall and flee behind, well, that's laughable. Behind the wall is Zhao Country's territory.

Once there, with just a handful of people, they wouldn't make it far before meeting their end.

Because, according to the treaty back then, Zhao Country wouldn't participate nor interfere in any military action between the two.

However, it was stipulated that if soldiers from the two countries crossed into Zhao Country's territory, they would be executed on the spot, an inviolable rule.

Moreover, there was an inkling that Yan Country's action might have Zhao people involved.

Though there's no concrete evidence to prove it, their instincts told them so.

Upon receiving the female general's orders, everyone swiftly began to clean up the battlefield.

They stripped weapons and equipment off from the fallen.

As for the horses, they couldn't use them for now.

These horses had developed corresponding emotions with their owners.

If they were rashly mounted now, they might retaliate, throwing them off, possibly causing injuries.

Hence, these horses couldn't be utilized in the short term.

Given that, it was better to kill them directly.

If they were to run back to the opponent's camp, these horses could be used against them.

That would bring significant trouble.

Thus, without hesitation, the warhorses fell amid cries.

To say they didn't feel heartache would be a lie.

In this era, warhorses were extremely valuable, as costly as Benz or BMWs today.

Moreover, they were nearly unavailable even if affordable.

Especially in Dayou Country, warhorses were far rarer.

Among the three countries, Dayou was the weakest.

Yan Country was the strongest militarily; Zhao Country was superior in literature.

Dayou was mediocre, neither excelling in literary nor military manners compared to the other two.

Thus, warhorses were particularly scarce for them. It's no exaggeration to say that Dayou's cavalry couldn't exceed 10,000.

In comparison to Yan Country's 100,000 cavalry, it was utterly lacking.

Even disregarding Yan's cavalry, Zhao had nearly 50,000.

Although Dayou couldn't match the cavalry numbers, it excelled in infantry strength, which was vast.

Now, let's briefly introduce the troop distribution across the three countries.

Yan Country had 100,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, totaling about 500,000.

It's not incorrectly calculated; while 100,000 cavalry plus 150,000 infantry is 250,000, if combined with 250,000 associated laborers, their total force approaches 500,000.

Thus, their combat force, including non-combat personnel, was roughly 250,000.

Zhao Country had 50,000 cavalry and 150,000 infantry, making its combat force approximately 200,000.
