Chapter 375 The Upheaval of the Attack
"Report, according to observations, the Qi State has been defeated!" A part-time investigative pilot said to Shangguan Yong in the frontier defense of Guangling County.
Shangguan Yong looked at Shangguan Guang: "Father, Qi's army is broken, this is a good opportunity! Let's attack with the whole army and capture more than a hundred thousand of his prisoners!"
Moreover, the border defense of Qi State is weak at the moment, which is a good opportunity. We imitated Anyang back then, and also plundered the wealth of the two counties on the border of Qi State! But only rob the official wealth, don't offend the people, there are many folk masters! "
Shangguan Guang made a prompt decision: "Send the order, the whole army will attack. Capture a prisoner for one tael of gold. Capture a centurion for ten taels of gold! In addition, take the opportunity to attack the border of Qi."
Victory and wealth are the best rewards for soldiers. The 600,000 troops of Guangling County stormed out of the pass, charging forward all over the mountains and plains. On the other hand, Qi State, at this moment, was defeated and began to flee.
But once the war enters this mode, the outcome is basically set. This chase lasted until noon, and only about 50,000 of Qi's 300,000 troops escaped; the rest were either killed or captured. And the border of Qi State was breached unexpectedly.
Just like the war between Anyang and Cai, history is repeating itself at this moment. The difference is that there was only one county in Anyang back then, and there were less than 30,000 soldiers; but now a full 600,000 troops from Guangling County rushed into the territory of Qi. What Anyang couldn't take away back then, Guangling County could take away!
Rob!
There is only one word, the 600,000 army is like locusts crossing the border, looting the official wealth of the two counties of Baqiu and Langhuan on the border of Qi State. In Immortal Realm, it's best not to mess with the folks if you have nothing to do, otherwise you can mess with old monsters.
This looting lasted for more than a day. By the time Qi State reacted and sent more troops to counterattack, Shangguan Guang had already returned with the army.
The impact of this war is destined to shock the entire East of Yingzhou! The performance of arms in war is becoming more and more prominent, and war is getting closer to "standardized killing".
Only the next day, the situation of the war here was introduced to Anyang and published in newspapers; multiple newspapers published it, and millions of newspapers reported the facts of this war in detail.
The seemingly weak and deceitful Hou Xia actually defeated the mighty Qi State, Qi State's 300,000 elites, only about 50,000 fled! Moreover, Hou Xia looted the two counties in the east of Qi State, and took away countless wealth!
Moreover, in order to publicize his victory, Hou Xia also took the initiative to disclose the wealth he robbed - a total of more than 50 million taels of gold. There are countless ingots, silver ingots, copper coins, cloth, rare treasures, etc.
All the properties that Qi lost this time exceeded 100 million taels of gold! Two wealthy counties in the east suddenly fell into a state of abject poverty.
The Anyang Business Daily gave this evaluation: the direct economic loss exceeded 100 million taels of gold; the indirect economic loss exceeded 300 million taels of gold. It will take at least three years for the two counties in the east of Qi to get rid of the survival crisis and ten years to recover.
"Anyang is so overwhelming that Hou Xia can't breathe; but Hou Xia can easily rob Qi!" This is the message everyone has seen! Anyang's mercenary group is still "saving Nanyang County". Facing these mercenary groups, Nanyang County is at a clear disadvantage. But it was such a late summer, but he swallowed 250,000 elites and elites of Qi State in one go!
"It's arms!" Someone reacted quickly and immediately pointed out the core problem, "It is arms that caused such a huge difference between the two sides! Although Shangguan Guang used a little strategy, it was also because of the application of arms that Shangguan Guang was able to use his skills! "
Everyone was discussing it, and because of the Cultivation Conference, representatives from many surrounding countries came, and the representatives of these countries also began to pay more attention to the role of arms.
Especially Deng Guo, Zheng Guo, and Chen Guo, the three countries that once bordered Cai Guo and are now confronting Xiao Guo and Tang Guo. After the representatives of these three countries saw this information, cold sweat immediately flowed down.
He Zhiguo, the Prime Minister of Qi State who was in Anyang, immediately got up and went to the Anyang City Lord's Mansion. Need to buy a batch of arms from Anyang!
…………
State of Qi, His Majesty the Emperor looks ugly!
All around, the expressions of civil and military officials are also brilliant. The battle that was sure to win was defeated! Still an unprecedented fiasco.
In the main hall of the palace, there was no sound. Surrounding them, Taishi Dong Jingrong and Taiwei Li Hui were both sweating from their temples. The prime minister has gone to Anyang and is seeking benefits for the Qi country. Now the two people who govern the country are the Taishi and Taiwei.
As a result, the war promoted by Taishi Dong Jingrong and Taiwei Li Hui turned out like this. The great state of Qi was completely abused by the declining and precarious Houxia. This is no longer a simple issue of victory or defeat, but an issue of national honor and even national security!
Needless to say, national honor, if he can't beat the weak Houxia, he will lose all face!
As for national security, it's easy to explain—this battle fully demonstrated Qi's fighting ability! The so-called powerful Qi State seems to be vulnerable to a single blow!
In fact, Qi State committed the same problem as Jin State. It has been at peace for a long time, and the soldiers have forgotten how to fight! People are lazy lives. If you don’t move for three years, you will forget your scars;
Not to mention, the emergence of munitions has made generals and soldiers who have not fought for a long time completely unable to adapt to new wars and new battlefields. With sneak attacks five miles apart and bombing from overhead, war is no longer about hand-to-hand combat, but long-distance combat. This kind of war mode makes many people unable to adapt! Kong has a powerful cultivation base, but he can only stare blankly.
The reality has given Qi the best reminder! It's just that this reminder is so painful!
The two wealthy counties in the east have been looted, and even the Qi State is a little shattered!
The emperor of Qi looked around, "My dear friends, tell me, how should we deal with it?"
Taishi Dong Jingrong took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send troops to stabilize the two counties of Baqiu and Langhuan in the east, and regain the frontier defense. Secondly, sum up the lessons and counterattack Houxia!
In any case, we must use victory to declare the majesty of Qi! Only victory can show the majesty of Qi! "
Taiwei Li Hui also said: "Your Majesty, no matter what, we must win. Now the phenomenon of 'power collapse' has occurred in the east of Yingzhou. The demise of Daxia, the decline of Cai, the rise of Anyang, Tang, and Xiao, the industrial and commercial The spread of ideas has heralded the advent of a new era of violent turmoil.
In this era, if we don't want to be eliminated, we must catch up.
Only with victory can there be benefits, and only with benefits can all be united. "
The Emperor of Qi snorted coldly, "So, where is Su Zhongge?"
As a defeated general, everyone didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
It was the Taiwei who said: "Your Majesty, Su Zhongge is a rare general in the country, I dare to guarantee this, failure is a common occurrence in military affairs.
But now, because of the emergence of arms and industry and commerce, the war situation has undergone drastic changes. Li Lisong, the commander-in-chief of the state of Jin, was defeated, and our failure is justifiable.
Failure is the mother of success, I believe Su Zhongge must have learned enough lessons. I implore Your Majesty to give Su Zhongge another chance, if he fails again, I will be guilty of the same crime! "
The Emperor of Qi State looked at Taiwei Li Hui, and finally nodded, "Okay, you are in charge of the army mobilization, and I want to take Houxia in one fell swoop, and show our country's prestige!
Dong Jingrong, you set out to restore the livelihood of the people in Baqiu and Langhuan counties in the east. "
A defeat in one battle would not do anything to Qi. The emperor was so annoyed that it was more of a "shame".
To be honest, this failure was a good thing for Qi Guo. A pour of cold water woke up the arrogant Qi people and let everyone see the reality clearly! One failure, stepped on a sleepy-eyed lion!
As the first country to accept Li Xian's industrial and commercial ideas, Qi State is already undergoing qualitative changes! After the summer, it is inevitable!
…………
Anyang is becoming more and more lively, more and more masters are coming, the Wuyashan Yaozu Chamber of Commerce and the Bailing Group have started to operate normally, and all kinds of Yaozu items have been sold here in Anyang, and the Yaozu has also started to sell from Anyang. Here is an open and aboveboard purchase of a large number of items needed by the Yaozu.
Both the monster race and the human race have tasted the sweetness of open transactions. In terms of business, everyone has gradually accepted the reality that the monster race business group has settled in Anyang.
In addition, the first batch of 1,000 small telescopes capable of observing the moon were sold publicly and clearly, and they were sold out in just a few minutes. Then, there began to be crazy people or demons in Anyang!
Many exercises rely on the so-called "Moonlight" to practice. Now everyone suddenly discovers that the moon does not shine, and many people who love to stick to their own horns are confused. The moon doesn't shine, so what's the matter with the moonlight?
This voice became louder and louder, and the past practice system began to be questioned. Various hypotheses have been put forward.
Some people say that Yuehua must exist, but our past cognition is somewhat wrong. Is it a kind of aura produced by the interaction between the moon and our fairyland?
Some also said that the ancient records should not be wrong, because there were immortals in the past; maybe the loss of records has caused problems in the current understanding.
Some even put forward extreme ideas-fantasy practice. The so-called fantasy practice is to do what the heart thinks, and the world exists because of people's cognition. After this kind of idea was put forward, Li Xiandu exclaimed—this has the shadow of modern philosophy.
All kinds of conjectures began to appear, and Anyang's ideological emancipation movement reached a new peak. Cognition of life, practice, society, the world, etc. began to sprout.
"We want to build Anyang into an economic center, an ideological and cultural center, an industrial technology center, and a science and technology center!" Li Xian began to dream.
At this moment, someone interrupted Li Xian's daydream. Chen Jinbing knocked on the door: "Young master, there is a master of transformation who claims to be Situ Zhanpeng asking to see him."
