I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

Yan Fuyao stood on the top of the city wall, holding a telescope and watching the battle situation.

She first looked at the battle between the Tianyu Army and the Chu Army on the eastern battlefield.

With the help of the Zhennan Army, the Tianyu Army has successfully resisted the Chu Army. Moreover, Yu Huatian's tactics are not just defensive. He even wants to make a roundabout attack and cooperate with the Zhennan Army. Sometimes he attacks the enemy's right wing, and sometimes he suddenly attacks and then quickly retreats after the attack to prevent that unit from being surrounded. This made the Chu Army suffer terribly, and the Chu Army once thought that they had encountered the main force of the Yan Army.

Yuhuatian single-handedly stopped the 300,000-strong Chu army, and even fought back and forth without showing any disadvantage at all.

Seeing this scene, Yan Fuyao felt relieved. Yu Huatian was still performing steadily and was always so reassuring.

Then she looked towards the battlefield in the west.

The battlefield here was even more massive. The Yan army attacked the Qian army from three sides, but did not attack. Instead, they adopted a defensive posture to wear down the Qian army's strength.

In this way, the Yan army's advantage will not be seen in the short term, but under the artillery in the rear and the charge on the front line, the casualties of the Qian army will be far greater than that of the Qian army.

Yan Fuyao put down the telescope in his hand, looked at the group of young civil servants behind him, and asked seriously,

"Did you see everything? How was the battle fought on the battlefield? What are your thoughts?"

A young civil servant hurriedly flattered him,

"Your Majesty, our Great Yan army is invincible, with the courage to swallow a thousand miles like a tiger. Our morale is high and we are far superior to the enemy. If we continue to fight like this, our army will surely win and the enemy will inevitably flee.

It is a blessing for Dayan to have such a powerful army, and it is a credit to Your Majesty. Heaven has eyes and will surely protect our Great Qian."

Yan Fuyao's face darkened slightly and he said,

"Stop spouting these useless words and say something useful. What are your thoughts? I want to hear your opinions on the war."

Another civil servant stood up and said,

"Your Majesty, I have witnessed the sharpness of our Great Yan army, which is all due to the new policies of Your Majesty and the Prince.

The new military merit system has greatly increased the enthusiasm of our soldiers and made them brave in fighting. After all, the more they kill, the more military merit they gain, and they can be promoted and rewarded.

my country's new imperial examination policy also enabled the country to continuously select outstanding children from poor families to govern internal affairs and enhance national strength.

Only a strong national strength can support such a large army and such a large-scale war; otherwise, even the strongest military force will be nothing but castles in the air."

"Yes, Your Majesty manages domestic affairs and the country, and the prince leads the troops in battle without any worries. It is truly a match made in heaven."

"I have seen the rising power of Great Yan. Such a Great Yan army is bound to be invincible."

"I am overwhelmed with emotion watching this scene. I wish I could abandon my civil service and join the military to expand the territory of Great Yan."

……

Listening to the flattering words of the crowd, Yan Fuyao frowned and sighed,

“Forget it, you are all so full of ambitions right now that you won’t get anything out of me.

You should rest more. After today's battle, you will go and clean up the battlefield with the auxiliary soldiers and provide care for the wounded. Tomorrow, I will ask you again what you have learned."

"I will obey your orders!"

Of course, no one would have any objection. Although they had to do some physical work, these jobs were done under the nose of His Majesty. These were tasks assigned by His Majesty personally, and they were all good opportunities to improve their qualifications and gain popularity.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, it is worth it.

In the future, they can also tell others that when His Majesty personally led the army to unify the country, they all participated in the war.

It’s all about qualifications.

How could Yan Fuyao not know what they were thinking? He snorted in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud, but he had a playful smile on his face.

"Wu Bi, Sun Ting, you two are the top two candidates in the imperial examination. Lead the team well. Rest when you need to. Go back to sleep when you can't. You won't have time to sleep tonight."

"Your Majesty, we are not tired. We are all young and can endure it. We used to study late into the night, often staying up all night."

"Okay, then you guys, don't blame me for not reminding you."

After saying this, Yan Fuyao continued to observe the battlefield.

Tang Xinyi looked at the young civil servants with pity, and then whispered to Jiang Ruoxue,

“These people are in trouble.”

"Ah? Why?"

"Haha, if you want to know, go move the bodies and rescue the wounded that night, and you'll know."

"I can not."

Jiang Ruoxue said seriously.

Tang Xinyi smiled secretly and said,

"What you fear is what they will experience. Your Majesty will make these frail civil servants see the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the horrific injuries of the wounded, and the tragic scenes before their death."

"This is too scary."

Jiang Ruoxue shrank her neck in fear.

"Is this scary? How can you grow without going through hardships? At night, I'll push you over to work."

"Why don't you go? You'll just bully me."

Jiang Ruoxue puffed out her little mouth, looking so cute.

……

Shen Changgong stood on the high general's platform, watching the army fighting below.

The Yan army's lines on the left and right wings were solid. Facing the enemy's attack, they did not retreat, but instead counterattacked the enemy.

The Shenfeng Army in the center was originally the Wei Army. Not many of them had participated in battles, but they were not disappointing at this time. After all, they were all central troops and had undergone rigorous training. In addition, the enemy's center army was not mainly offensive, so their line was not chaotic and they fought back and forth with the enemy.

The Shenfeng Army did not have the Shenji Battalion, but in order to cooperate in the battle, it still transferred the Shenji Battalion of the Zhengnan Army waiting in the rear to bombard the enemy.

The battle lasted until noon and the situation was extremely tense.

As the left and right wings of the Qian army attacked forward, the gap between them became larger and larger.

Shen Changgong saw that the time was ripe, so he said to Ma Ling,

"I plan to send out the 50,000 Zhennan Army and the 100,000 Zhengnan Army. The Zhennan Army is fast and will first attack the enemy through the gap between the left and right wings of the Qian Army, disrupting their lines. Then I will have the Zhengnan Army bypass them from the west, surround these Qian Army, and completely seal off the pocket formation. What do you think?"

"I think it's feasible. Now the 50,000 Zhennan Army has no commander, and Zhang Han is in the east. I think it would be a good idea for me to be the commander myself."

"No, you're leaving me here alone again."

"What's wrong? I'm just informing you, not discussing it with you. Besides, the commander-in-chief is enough on his own, and I prefer to charge into battle.

If I don't charge into a battlefield of this scale, I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Then you better be careful. I don't want to send someone young off when I'm old."

"Hmm? Little thief, you're rebelling against Tian Gang, right? I'm your uncle."

After saying this, King Nan snorted coldly and turned away.
