The Second Thousand and Thirty-Ninth Day of the War
The generals of the Eastern Empire are still busy at this moment to rectify their subordinates. They are all battered with grenades on their backs. Originally, a team of one thousand people can't even gather two hundred people. The rest of them are either dead or don't know how to shrink back. where? And the troops on the periphery can fall down in pieces like harvesting wheat. They don't know where these bows and arrows come from? Although some generals have ordered the cavalry to go out to have a look, but when there are surprise soldiers protruding from their gates, they all fell down. It is because anyone who goes out will be taken care of, so most people dare not go out. , no one is afraid of losing his life just like that.
Although I usually brag about how much I am not afraid of death on the battlefield, but now everyone dare not say that. Talking out of thin air is absolutely different from the real situation, just like these people now , One by one, I was dumbfounded to see those bows and arrows coming from a distance. Just when they were flustered, the airship in the sky had already started to change its attack direction. There was already enough chaos below them, so continue to stay There won't be much results in the end, they will continue to go forward, many generals have fought battles all their lives, but each of them has never fought such a battle, even their opponents I didn't see it, but there were already so many casualties, and everyone was reluctant in their hearts, but compared to those who were already dead, their life was pretty good, at least for now They are still alive, I don't know how many times better than those people.
The place where His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire lives is naturally the safest place. At this moment, this guy also came out in a panic, surrounded by imperial guards. If he had been in the past, he would have ordered the imperial guards to rush out, but he just got a report that they could only retreat if they could not rush out. It was blocked by the enemy with bows and arrows.
"Blocked with bows and arrows? How did you do this?" His Majesty the Emperor asked such a sentence, and the rest of the people looked at it stupidly. They didn't know how to answer this matter, and none of them saw it. There are so many bows and arrows, this is because they are far away from here. If it is close, it is estimated that it will also be affected. At that time, it will be their side that will suffer, and they can't say that His Majesty the Emperor will go and have a look. If that is the case, they will be too incompetent.
His Majesty the Emperor is a level nine fighter. I also have my own skills. After looking at these useless guys around him, he knew what was going on. It's probably impossible to get what I want to know from these people's mouths. This guy glanced at his two guards, and the two guys flew up immediately. Passed quickly towards the front. At this time, scholars are useless. Only these force owners are trustworthy. Other than that, other people are useless. You can tell by their flustered appearance What happened to them.
Ordinarily, the people around His Majesty the Emperor should be tenth-level fighters and the strongest fighters, but it is inconvenient for him to bring these people directly to the battlefield now, and those tenth-level fighters will not participate in this kind of ordinary people. The war between them, so these two guys are ninth-level fighters, these two ninth-level fighters rushed to the front line quickly, in fact, they could already see clearly what was going on in front of them in the middle? But this matter was personally explained by His Majesty the Emperor,
Naturally, they couldn't decide this matter based on their own guesses. They saw the enemies at a distance of 400 meters very clearly. Seeing this, they understood that at this moment they were attacked by the Linghu family, by those enemies whose numbers were only 1% of theirs. It had to be said that it was a joke.
For His Majesty the emperor, this kind of joke is a very loud beating. He himself doesn't know why the enemy is so courageous. When she heard the report of these two ninth-level fighters, his whole body Everyone trembled. He didn't know whether to admire how arrogant his opponent was, or to think about his next strategy. Anyway, at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor felt that he was most at a loss in his life. He glanced at his surroundings These generals have been handed over to the set, what do you think should be done? These people don't know what to say one by one, and they lowered their heads when facing the emperor's gaze, so what should they do? They all lowered their heads, and now they are all waiting for the emperor's order, and let the emperor make the decision.
What those in power need to do is to give others an idea, but sometimes this idea is not very easy to fight, just like the current emperor of the Eastern Empire, what should he do? The stronger enemies can't be seen. The same way of fighting as before will definitely fail, but you can't just wait here without doing anything. The soldiers of the Eastern Empire in front are firing their bows and arrows vigorously. It means that some soldiers on their side lost their lives. It is right for the soldiers not to know what to do, because they are soldiers. If the generals don’t know what to do, then they shouldn’t. Knowing how to do it is correct, His Majesty the Emperor just doesn't know how to do it, the whole army will fall into chaos, and now everyone is watching the little Emperor His Majesty is waiting for him to make up his mind, but His Majesty the Emperor does not know how to do the whole situation I understand very well, if you give advice casually, it will only make this situation more confusing.
I habitually look at the staff around me. Usually, they would give me some encouragement and advice, but now these people have the same panic on their faces as those generals. What they worry about is their own. Life, not the surrounding things, if it is done, my family, relatives and friends may all be implicated, I can quickly add ten, their own life is only one, if they die, their family members My relatives and friends may all be implicated, and the first thing they think about now is how to keep themselves safe? So everyone can see that they all want His Majesty the Emperor to retreat first. They cannot go first, because if they leave first, leave His Majesty the Emperor here, and they will be beheaded by the successor His Majesty the Emperor when they go back, because His Majesty does not need a disloyal person, so they must Go and watch His Majesty the Emperor go first, so that they can follow His Majesty the Emperor.
If this is the case, it will be easier to go back. For example, when His Majesty is retreating, I have to bear the responsibility of protection. If His Majesty is not by my side, I will definitely go up and fight the enemy to the death, even if I fall. There is nothing in my own head, but I have devoted myself to the country. but. The situation now is different from that time. His Majesty is still here. My first task is to escort His Majesty to a safe place, even though I am a scholar with no strength. But following His Majesty the Emperor is one more person and one more strength. When they say these things, they are not ashamed. Now that these drafts have been typed up, what I want to do now is to follow His Majesty the Emperor. Unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has not made up his mind yet. Whether she is resisting here or retreating quickly with her own soldiers, she is hesitating in her heart, it doesn't matter if he hesitates, everyone around is in a hurry.
Most people who are emperors have a heroic dream, and His Majesty the Emperor is no exception. Since he was a child, he thought that he could wear armor and fight bloody battles with the soldiers on the front line, and lay down the strongest place in the entire empire. If he retreats, the road ahead will be difficult. What he thinks is that now is the most difficult moment. He must not retreat at this time. If he retreats at this time, the road ahead will be difficult. The following How would ordinary people view themselves, especially how would these soldiers in the army view themselves? They will think that they are an emperor who is greedy for life and fear of death, and no one is willing to follow an emperor who is greedy for life and fear of death. Just when His Majesty is about to draw out his saber and fight to the death with the enemies outside, a staff officer quickly walks in , He must have brought bad news, because you can tell by his expression, if it is good news, his face will definitely not have this expression. His expression made His Majesty panic.
The entire barracks is already in such chaos. Is there any worse news than this? What news, if any, should it be? Before this person could speak, His Majesty the Emperor spoke first. Tell me quickly what caused you to panic. His Majesty's words also attracted the attention of other people. Most of them were trying to persuade His Majesty to retreat. , I didn’t even notice that such a guy came to the door, and other people were also thinking about the bad news, let everything come at once, don’t come one by one like this, our psychological endurance is also limited, These ministers are now not honestly thinking that if the news is worse, His Majesty may make His Majesty retreat quickly. The place has not yet raised troops, and when the cavalry arrives, they will not be able to run even if they want to. Now they want to The best chance to escape is absolutely not to delay time at this time, delaying time is delaying one's own life.
Well, Your Majesty, something bad happened in the surrounding grain and grass camp. It seems that something was thrown down from the sky. Those things are different from the grenades we encountered here. These grenades just exploded, while the grain and grass What I encountered at the camp seems to be something that can burn quickly. One-third of the food has already been ignited. If we don’t rush to fight the fire, the entire grain and grass camp may be burned, he said. It directly made everyone around seem to have fallen into an ice hole, especially His Majesty the Emperor. Although he had never led soldiers on the battlefield, he was familiar with military books. Of course, he knew clearly that the soldiers and horses had not moved. The principle of food and grass first, if the enemy burns all the food now, then the morale of the army will be the first to be disturbed. If an army does not have the morale of the army, it will be too late for everything, so don’t fight and wait. fail!
"Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and send troops there? As far as I am concerned, the most important thing for me now is to keep the food and grass camp. I can put aside everything else first. The army on our side has completely retreated, and all of them have gone to the food and grass camp. Just go over to the camp, and if something goes wrong with the food and grass camp, all of you will be buried with him." His Majesty the Emperor showed his stronger side at this time, compared with the surrounding ministers, these ministers We are still immersed in sadness. I still don't know what to do. His Majesty already has his own ideas in his heart. What he has to do now is to rush over and extinguish the flames of the food and grass camp. Otherwise, there will be no more food and grass. The army of food, is it still called the army? Is it okay to not be able to eat every meal, but if they are not allowed to eat for a day, they may do some very unexpected things, such as robbing the common people of food.
This place was originally the territory of the Linghu family and the relationship with the imperial court has not been very good. If these soldiers went out to rob the people of food, it would definitely have a worse impact. At that time, it was even more impossible for the imperial court to take this place back. It can be said that the current war is still facing the court. Most people think that the members of the Linghu family are traitors and thieves, and they will not help the members of the Linghu family. things, that's different. The soldiers thought very simply. They just want to be fed. Just keep yourself from starving, they don't care about the so-called overall situation at all, His Majesty the Emperor must not let this happen. He had to call someone to put out the fire immediately, put on his battle robe and lead some people in the tent to the grain and grass camp behind.
The ministers also ran very fast one by one. Even if they were going to fight the fire, it was better than staying here. His Majesty's military camp is at the front line. I don't know what kind of bug is in this guy's mind? In the past, His Majesty the Emperor would never have placed his tent in such a front position even if he was on his own conquest, because he would have ignored his own safety, but this His Majesty the Emperor wanted to let the soldiers see him. With the soldiers, she put her tent here. He is at the front line, which increases the cost. Naturally, he has to be at the front line. Now I have the opportunity to run to the back. Although the back is on fire, things like firefighting Why let them do it themselves? Of course, those subordinates under them did it. They just stand there for a while, and they will get a credit tomorrow morning. It is capital to brag to others in the future Yes, I also did something on the front line.
But for some civil servants, they just write materials with a pen at ordinary times, and it is impossible to do some practical things. They didn't sleep tonight and followed the emperor to the grain and grass camp. For them, it is a challenge in life. In the past, they used to go out in a sedan chair. Even if they were older, they would feel tired after a long time. Running a few kilometers tonight is a big challenge for them. Absolutely too tired, this level is like a military general running dozens of miles, their feeling is completely different from that of ordinary soldiers, they are still thinking about how to write down the firefighting tonight when they go back, Especially my own credit, I have never been subjected to such a thing, now I am showing you what kind of words, and then people will remember themselves more, but they are not fools to praise His Majesty the Emperor first to get to your own.
His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the sky, and there seemed to be nothing in the sky. This is what Li Cong didn't do. It's really amazing. They painted the entire airship with a black pen, basically without missing any light, even if It was thrown down and burned with a little spark on it, which is not visible to ordinary people. These sparks ignited slowly, and when the people below saw it, it happened less than two meters away from them. Explosions, people on this planet have never seen such things that fall down. When these things fall on the grain, they will be ignited. You know that when they burn out, the grain will become ashes, and then As the scope of fire in the grain and grass camp was getting bigger and bigger, His Majesty felt some truth in his heart. He felt that this time the grain and grass camp was the target of the opponent, and everything in front of him was a phantom and nothingness.
Li Cong didn't dare to say anything else, but he was very trustworthy in terms of strategic vision. Master Linghu also knew from the rear. Of course he applauded Li Cong's actions. The day is too short for Mr. Li. He may buy himself too much time, at least much more than the current time. He immediately ordered the people below to move all the things that can be moved. Let's go, because there is not enough time, all the things that are transported away are some important things, and now some are not too important. But there is also time to transport useful things. After these things are transported back, they will have a great effect on future defensive battles. Master Linghu also knows that Li Tong can help him once, but he will definitely not always help him. To help himself, this time may be the last time Li Cong helped himself, so in the future, he must rely on his own strength to go on.
The city lord who directed the army to attack in front also saw that the grain and grass camp was on fire. He finally knew Li Cong's ultimate goal. It seemed that he was not considered his own with Li Cong. If it was me, I would know the plan. But now she doesn't know anything about this plan. He feels that he has been fooled into working hard in the front, and he doesn't let himself know about some plans in the rear. This is a big deal. Although there are contradictions in my heart. But don't delay him from doing things. He also knows all too well that this is a night that will put his name in the history books, if he can make some big moves. For example, if the cavalry in the city rushed in, it might have a greater impact on my future path. Would I be registered with another young master Hu? In the past, I was a small city lord, and I may become the chief executive of a province in the future, or I may be promoted to a higher level.
But just as he was about to say this idea, the two guards in charge of protecting her immediately told her that there is no need to do such a thing, because what you have done is enough, the young master has already succeeded, your business It has been completed, and it has been over-completed. Now you can retreat with your people. Li Cong also thought about using cavalry to make a surprise attack before, but Li Cong could see it very clearly in the sky. The chaos only caused the chaos on the periphery. The forward battalion fell into chaos as a whole, but its middle and rear parts retained the original organizational system. If they really let their cavalry rush up to fight in the wild, they would definitely not Unnecessary stomach, opponent, although it is night, I have also suffered chaos here, but if you really fight, don’t you believe that those places can definitely go head-to-head with Wu Weijun, the failure can only be those places that are not right, so it’s still Don't type this anymore.
The city lord gave the order to retreat helplessly. These soldiers are envious now. They all want to continue fighting here without retreating, but when he didn't see Shangguan's eyes, they all thought about it too. Backed off, on the battlefield, the most important thing for a soldier is not to show how brave, powerful, or capable of killing you is, but to show that you obey orders, otherwise, even though you have gained yourself on the battlefield It’s because you don’t obey orders and go back and there is absolutely no good fruit to eat. The people above will definitely investigate your mistakes. They don’t need a subordinate who doesn’t obey orders. This is the way of thinking, so these soldiers packed up their weapons and ran back quickly with the brigade. They didn't have any casualties, and dozens of people were injured by their own people. It can be said that their today The results are brilliant.
The result of the battle was beyond everyone's expectations. When the sun rose the next day, the Eastern Emperor's army was scarred. The hundreds of thousands of people in the forward battalion were basically abolished. It was full of bows and arrows, some were burned and some were not. Most people didn't know what to do. They looked at the sick and wounded around them one by one, and then looked at the city wall over there. The Linghu family It can be said that the army is full of colorful flags, each of them is high-spirited. After a night of fighting, their confidence is even stronger. Only 50,000 people were moved, and the airship was touched, and the Eastern Empire was destroyed. The huge army has become what it is now. They can be proud and happy. They succeeded tonight. On the other hand, we have really failed and can’t fail anymore. None of them even have the courage to raise their heads up.
Because His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, who was rushing to fight the fire, was also disgraced at the moment. Several eunuchs wanted to bring a basin of clean water to wash His Majesty the Emperor, but His Majesty kicked him away. The eunuch who went to see He was usually very favored, but he was kicked out with all his strength, and he didn't consider how strong he was? This guy flew out directly, and he couldn't understand what it had to do with him. He also went to help you wash your face with good intentions, because he didn't want you to make you look so ugly in front of your subordinates. His kindness was also regarded as malice , you go with your big tabby face. Let your soldiers see how embarrassed you are tonight. The curse of time in your heart is that His Majesty the Emperor will not live long. This kind of eunuch has already ended like this. Other eunuchs will naturally not go up. Could it be that your ribs are swollen? Is it hard? Even if there is, it is no bigger than His Majesty's foot.
Are the casualties counted at night? If the statistics are found, report to me immediately, the general of the vanguard battalion that His Majesty saw said, yesterday he clearly remembered that when the general of the vanguard battalion came to report to him, he was followed by sixty warriors, and the sixty warriors The samurai can be said to have a burly figure and looks very capable of fighting, but now he is only behind these two lieutenants. Those sixty warriors from yesterday didn't know where they went? His Majesty the Emperor touched his forehead. Of course she knew where he was now? Either he was injured and treated in the tent or he had already lost his life. Even the warriors around the general of the Qianfeng Battalion could not be found, so he could think about what happened to other people, and those people would definitely be more colorful. The forward battalion is a relatively outstanding person selected by himself during his hard work. Now they all have such losses, if they were replaced by other people, I don't know what it would look like?
To His Majesty the Emperor. There are less than 20,000 people left in my vanguard battalion of 300,000 people, and the rest have been given to me, and the subordinates are unable to ask His Majesty the Emperor for forgiveness. After the general finished speaking, he pulled out his weapon and was about to commit suicide. His Majesty the Emperor is a level nine fighter. It was very easy to stop this guy himself. A small integrated stone hit the guy's arm. The accessories in his hand fell to the ground. If a failed general wants to cut off his head, I don’t think we even know how many generals there are in the empire. It is estimated that there are not even ten generals now. , Failure is nothing to be afraid of, I will immediately drop you 300,000 troops, you are still an avant-garde general, if you still can't satisfy me today, you can cut off your head tonight! Now let your head search for one more day on your head, said His Majesty the Emperor.
Everyone knows that His Majesty the emperor of the Eastern Empire must behead the general who made a mistake. The general of the vanguard battalion also understands this, so after reporting the situation and completing all his tasks, he will He was about to commit suicide, but who knew that his head would be protected by His Majesty the Emperor. He looked at His Majesty in surprise, and after listening to His Majesty's words, he realized that he still had one more day for himself today. This world is moving with your head, you have to attack hard to take down this city, whether you can take this city today depends on whether your head can be there, the soldiers behind him are also full body for a while, and then dispatched The army is coming and attacking, is it repeating yesterday's fate, or will there be a miracle today, a miracle in their lives.
Then why are you still standing here in a daze, didn't you hear His Majesty's order? Go back quickly and quickly integrate the rest of your army. Now the forward battalion is still very difficult to fight tomorrow. Don't be disturbed by yesterday's failure. Now you are all new troops. Today is a new day and you must have it. A new result is all it takes. The Minister of the Ministry of War next to him didn't say anything when he saw His Majesty the Emperor, and the general below didn't say anything. He quickly stood up and said that he knew that His Majesty was distracted. The fact that His Majesty the Emperor can say these words now does not mean that His Majesty the Emperor is different from before. We cannot let His Majesty the Emperor be ashamed in front of so many people, so he said what should be put on the ground. The general quickly kowtowed to thank him and went down to make arrangements.
But no one questioned Li Cong's ability after last night's victory? At this moment, Li Cong came back to stand on the city wall again, in the same position he stood in yesterday, and the people around him were also those people from yesterday, but those people came to see him yesterday purely for coping purposes, to complete the task that Master Linghu also stayed behind. But today is different. They really admire Li Cong in their hearts and then admire this young man. It was this young man who gave them the hope of victory in the war. At the beginning of the war, they all Thinking that he is already cannon fodder, he has already been abandoned by the Linghu family, and relying on their millions of troops to beat the army of the Eastern Empire court with any medicine is simply farting, it is simply impossible, it is better It's fine to tell them to commit suicide directly, but after last night, although the dawn is still relatively small, it can't be said to be a complete victory. But they also saw the hope of victory.
The most frightening thing about this person alive is that he has no hope. If there is no hope, he has no thought, although his body is still alive! But his whole body is already like a walking dead, doing the same thing every day, and he doesn't know what his future is, and he has no ideals. They lived this kind of life before. They think that the Linghu family must have taken them Abandoned, they are mechanically using their lives to fight for a little time for the Linghu family, whether they win or lose, they may stay here forever, but after a battle last night. They see hope. If they had listened carefully to Master Cao's command, they would have returned alive one by one. Last night, the 50,000 soldiers with the bald head came back with dozens of wounded, while the others were unharmed. But look at the Internet speed of the capital empire with millions of people. This ratio is astonishing.
Why is everyone looking at me like that? This is just the beginning! You may think that last night's battle was very violent. But let me tell you, that war was nothing more than a calculation, a fluke. Today, we will never have that kind of situation. The same thing will only happen once. If you continue to use this method, you will only find loopholes for others. Once they find a loophole, our surprise attack will be gone. Where it can be used, compared with those of others, our people can’t use a single fraction of others. This method will be used again in the future, and it will definitely not be today. Today we will give them a hard fight. I hope you all Be prepared to sacrifice, because today, there will be casualties on our city walls. Li Cong looked into the distance after he finished speaking, and they all looked into the distance along with their eyes. A large number of construction vehicles have already appeared.
That is the kind of secret weapon made by the Eastern Empire on the northern battlefield. Although it cost a lot of money of the empire and has not seen any effect, the project is still relatively effective. At least this thing is as high as the city wall. The soldiers below Pushing up slowly, they will have a chance to pass up the city wall, which is much better than the previous ladders and the like. It is very difficult to open the door handle to his punishment. There is still a certain chance that Che Na slowly approaching the enemy's city wall can grow, so this time the emperor of the Eastern Empire still brought a lot of this kind of thing. He has tested this kind of thing on the battlefield. It is also a helpless move now, because she has no better things in her hands to attack the city, so she can only use such a substitute. It is better to have a clan than to have nothing. This thing still has its own use, and maybe it can be used greater utility.
And now there are some other siege equipment behind these engineering vehicles, such as catapults. This kind of thing can be said to be useful for siege on the earth, and it is even more useful here, because their shells are similar to It's different on the earth. On the earth, this kind of catapult just throws big stones out, but here they throw something that can explode, just like the shells on the earth, just because of this kind of thing It is very expensive. Made by magicians. Each gram is worth more than 100,000 silver. Even on the battlefield, it is impossible to use too much of this kind of thing. They can't afford to attack the city with this kind of thing. The Linghu family doesn't control one city or two. If they all use this kind of shells to attack, the Eastern Empire may go bankrupt.
In fact, there is still a big gap between this kind of shells and the shells made of explosives on the earth. The smoke emitted by these things is the same as the shells on the earth, but the lethality is greatly reduced. After all, they are just a kind of thing made by a magician, just like magic arrows. Usually, this kind of thing is usually used to shake the city wall a little, and it will not cause any substantial damage. Even if it hits the crowd, it is just him. The people around will just fly out, and the real damage is not a lot, but if you want some powerful ones, you have to add a lot of silver. There are also shells that cost one million. If you want to use them, you need to fight It may not be possible to fight. This kind of thing is at most a thing that can boost the morale of soldiers. The actual effect is not as great as they advertise?
Even so, it still brought a lot of difficulties to Li Chong and the others at the beginning, because the dozens of catapults behind the war were all sounding these things at the same time, and the soldiers on the city wall where Li Cong was located Seeing this thing flying in the distance is also very scary, although their chief told them that this thing is a bluff thing, it will not have much lethality at all, and the soldiers still die when they see them explode The sea century's running and high turnover resulted in less chaos. Li Cong had no other good way to see this scene. He could only let the Qing soldiers around him kill two soldiers running around and make an example. This method is very good. It was effective and soon she became quiet, and most of the videos returned to her combat position. The emperor of the empire naturally also drove the action on the avatar. She smiled a little. Other generals and soldiers dare not use this in large quantities.
Is he another general? He is definitely not another general, he is the emperor of Dongli country, he has enough money to use this, just like this time, it brought tens of thousands of such shells, but they are all worth billions of silver, others He will not do this. He is the emperor, and he has his own characteristics. These things were given to them by the magician union of the Eastern Empire. It is said that Li Cong’s relationship with the magician union will be better, but people It's His Majesty the Emperor, the emperor of an empire. He will give him some face when he says how much the Magicians Guild has. Throwing them one by one, the city wall can be crushed if the damage is not too big. Li Cong will naturally not let them have a chance to throw these things over. He also needs to have his own counterattack. You have artillery I have it too.
Of course, Li Cong's shells are completely different from these guys. He didn't unload his artillery from the warship. You have catapults and cranes in the city. Although there are not many, my shells are comparable to yours. Even better, there are many things in the city, such as applying ice water to the face. Although there are no very sophisticated instruments, as long as they use their fingers and eyes to swell, they can clearly know that these shells hit the agent. Where did Li let them start launching after they installed some on the earth, whose first launch went out, and the subsequent plan also went out? The people on All Night and the people on the portrait also stretched their necks, and they all wanted to see who would win and who would lose in this kind of long-range attack. If there is no counterattack, now that Li Cong's counterattack has arrived, it is better to distinguish. (To be continued..)
