The Second Thousand and Forty Days of the War (Below)

His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire looked at the situation in front of him, and his face twitched violently. In the past, he always believed that his army was invincible, and that his strength was also invincible. The other three The Great Empire is not my opponent at all, as long as I want to do it, I will definitely be able to wipe them out. I didn't expect that even a mere Cao's firm can't handle things that have been made ashamed by them before. He didn't dare to imagine it at the time, but now it is a fact. Many people's eyes on him have changed, and even she herself has changed. He feels that he may be a guy who can do nothing. Things will not be successful, and now five hours have passed on the battlefield, and during these five hours, his own elite troops have been overwhelmed by the enemy's shells and cannot find their way to the north.

For five hours, when the troops of the Middle East Empire were constantly using their weapons to fire shells made of magic stones towards the city wall, but the ability of these shells to strike the city wall could be seen with the eyes, and there was not much damage at all. It's been a whole day, five hours, and the enemy's city wall is still solid, as if it's not much different from the original. Looking at themselves, it seems to be completely different from five hours ago, the enemy As long as the kind of shells are fired, the people around will definitely suffer. Look at their weapons and siege equipment. Now they have all turned into a pile of waste, and they are useless at all. His Majesty looked at The man on the city wall turned his hand vigorously. If he could rush over and kill this person, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely act. He knew that he couldn't rush out like this, and the other party was not a soft persimmon.

In the eyes of some people, a ninth-level fighter is already a very powerful figure, but on this battlefield, especially the person opposite is Li Cong, a ninth-level fighter is nothing at all, but the strength of the opponent has reached He has already reached the ninth level, and according to the intelligence, the strength of the opponent's ninth-level fighter has already reached its peak. His Majesty the Emperor has not yet reached his prime. It can only be said that he is a high-level ninth-level fighter. If he really goes out to fight alone, it will definitely be His Majesty the Emperor who will suffer. He will never let himself fall into such a dangerous situation. He must find a full grasp. Will do it. He really wanted to go over and kill this guy earlier. But his own heart does not allow him to do that. He always wanted to defeat the opponent on the battlefield, and climbed up from where he fell, instead of relying on other methods to make himself win so that he would be fine.

According to the original combat plan, the Eastern Empire's army should have reached below the city wall. They have already torn the line of defense formed by the two barbed wire fences. Their cavalry should quickly arrive under the city wall, and the infantry should also arrange some common actions. But the actual situation now, let alone the people under the city wall Even if they get close, they are still more than 1,000 meters away from the city wall. The distance of 1,000 meters is like a gap. It is impossible to pass them. They are already tired. I don’t know how many times. , I don’t know how much gold was spent, and all their siege equipment has been destroyed. His Majesty the Emperor looked at all this in disbelief. There are a total of 500 siege engines, and now there is nothing left , What exactly is the other party's thing? Since spawning one can destroy a siege engine worth 500,000 silver.

This is really surprising,

His Majesty the Emperor didn't think that this kind of siege engine was so powerful before. In his opinion, those guys from the Imperial War Department made it up to fool him, because he gave him a death order. If they can't get it in the northern battlefield If there is any progress, they will want their heads, so these guys got out this nondescript thing. After this thing came out, they didn't make any contribution to themselves, but they emptied their own treasury. These things came out It just happened to catch up with the end of the northern battlefield, so they have nothing to do. Now that they are going to attack the city defended by Li Cong, it thought that Li Cong would definitely bring over the northern battlefield. These things are better than nothing , who knew that there would be nothing left in today's first wave of bombing after they were pulled. These things are indeed waste, His Majesty the Emperor took a hard look at the ministers of the Ministry of War below.

The ministers of the Imperial Ministry of War are also very wronged. Their brains are already very clever. It is a pity that they and Li Cong are people from two worlds. The weapons in their hands are also from two planets. The technology on this planet I don’t know how many years behind the earth. How could they think of things that have spanned thousands of years? This requires a long history, and the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons on the earth is also It took a very long time, and when Li Cong arrived, these things were actually produced behind the thermal weapons, not those things that happened in the previous embryonic state at all. If they were those things that were produced in the previous embryonic state, these geniuses of the Eastern Empire might There will also be ways to deal with it, which directly spans to the second half. They don't even know how to deal with these things? So failure is inevitable.

At this moment, the general of the Vanguard Battalion has already lost his life. Originally, His Majesty the Emperor showed mercy and wanted this guy to live another day, but his life may end today. This guy has not survived these five hours. , In the second hour just started, a shell exploded around this guy, and the shrapnel directly penetrated this guy. Although he has the strength of a sixth-level fighter, under the attack of such a hot weapon, his body Or she was killed directly. At that time, she really didn't know what was going on with her own eyes, but his life was lost like that. His Majesty the Emperor saw it with his own eyes. His Majesty the Emperor clearly knew that his weapon and The gap between the enemies. In the past, he thought that he could win by relying on the advantage of numbers, but now this idea has begun to waver in his mind, even if there are many people, he can't.

Being able to quickly understand this situation shows that His Majesty the Emperor himself is not a fool. But these ministers under him are not reconciled, they don't want to go back in such a disheveled manner, if they go back in such a disheveled manner, wouldn't they have no credit for coming out this time? They threw away their luxurious life in the capital and followed His Majesty the Emperor to this front line. What were they doing? It was just to make themselves promoted. Now there is no victory at all. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely not reward you when he returns. , They have to let this war get a little result, even if it is a little bit of victory, it doesn't matter. Their mouths are very good at speaking. Fingers are very good at writing, and they will exaggerate this little victory to an astonishing level. At that time, it is a matter of course to get a reward.

Looking at the people below who are still persuading him to continue fighting, His Majesty the Emperor certainly knows it. What's going on in their minds? In fact, if His Majesty the Emperor is still sensible at this time. Certainly not listening to them. It will definitely stop the war now. He will never continue such a force-feeding war. Only five hours have passed since the morning, but they have already lost up to two million troops. Look at those people in the city? It is estimated that the loss is less than tens of thousands, and the probability of 20:1 is very low. This is a very big gap for any country, although two million troops are a drop in the bucket for the Eastern Empire If you want to form it, you can set it up in minutes, but the problem is that now that the war has lost two million people, but you haven't learned any lessons, is it necessary to carry out the second two million, or even the third two million? Wan? In that way, no matter how many troops you have, you can't afford to lose it.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to do such a fearless move, but this guy was unwilling to let himself retreat like this? What will the common people say when I return to the capital? What would the Gold Aristocrats say? They would all say that they were incompetent as the emperor. His Majesty waved his hand and asked all the people under him to go out. Although she had been the emperor for many years, the interior of the Eastern Empire was not monolithic. The betrayal of the Fox family is an example. Many people in the royal family are not of the same mind with me. It can be said that I was able to ascend the throne back then. It can be said that I experienced a very fierce fight. Which of my brothers and cousins It is a fuel-efficient lamp. From childhood to adulthood, they have been staring at that seat, which is the seat of the emperor. Who has really thought about the empire? After encountering such a failure, they will think that their chance Here, instead of helping myself to figure out a way to solve this matter.

Don't say that I absolutely can't just return to the capital in such a disheveled way. When I came out, I would only boast about Haikou, and I would definitely put down the Linghu family. If I go back like this now, it will represent another Hu family. They have already brought their original place to a firm foothold. The Eastern Empire will split into two empires. The Linghu family will definitely establish their country on their own land. They probably have already thought of the name, and they must not For this to happen, from the history of the Eastern Empire to the present, no territory has been lost at all, and a large number of territories have been added every year. Although these territories are all on islands, the land area and population are in any case It keeps increasing, if the Linghu family directly cut off these one hundred provinces, then I will be a big loser in history. What will the history books say about me? The most failed emperor.

It is definitely not easy for you to ascend the throne, and you will never let your name become a failed emperor. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire stood up, walked out of his tent, and looked at the city wall in the distance. He took out He took his own sword and rode his own war horse. Does he want to charge forward himself? The surrounding ministers hurried over. They all knew that this war was impossible to win. If His Majesty the Emperor really rushed up, he might lose his life. The quartermaster had just come to report that their food Forty percent was lost in yesterday's fire, and it can last for a month. Although a large amount of food has been transported, there is no way to make up for the lost food, so it is not yet When His Majesty the Emperor rushed up by himself, the angry Emperor was pulled off his horse by these people.

This is absolutely impossible, how can you go to the battlefield in person with your golden body, we have so many marshals in the Eastern Empire. So many generals, so many soldiers, if you let yourself go to the battlefield, their heads will be cut off, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about so many generals in the Eastern Empire Let's think about it, this is their disgrace, they will never allow you to do that, just after this old minister said these words, all the generals around him knelt down, just like this old gentleman said Same. This is their disgrace. They can't beat the emperor who came from this city. His Majesty himself is about to go to the battlefield. For them, there is no greater shame than this. They will definitely look at their heads, and they will attack the emperor one by one. His Majesty stopped them with his eyes. It's not yet that time when they are dead and who they rely on to fight the war.

"All you civil servants get out. You don't know anything about the war. Don't think I don't know why you follow me so shamelessly? You came here just to think about your promotion. Now I Let me tell you, even if this war is won, you will not be able to get promoted after you return to the capital? Be honest with me one by one. If this war really fails, I think You will be buried with me. You guys have to be in the capital when you are on the battlefield. It is useless at all. This war has already progressed to this level, and you are still thinking about intrigue. Internal consumption is the biggest consumption. This The battlefield can no longer withstand such consumption. I can turn a blind eye to your affairs when I am in the capital, but if you continue now, don't blame me for being rude to you.

His Majesty the Emperor himself is not a fool, he sees these things very clearly, these ministers thought that His Majesty the Emperor couldn't see these things clearly, and thought they were all very smart, so they came up with some things to make His Majesty the Emperor didn't understand. They thought that His Majesty was still in the dark. In fact, the smartest person in the world might be His Majesty the Emperor on stage. He was very accurate in seeing the hearts of the ministers. Otherwise, how could he be a leader, but His Majesty also understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and it can't say everything, as if it is said now, and I feel happy in my heart, but The consequences left behind are not something he can bear now. These civil servants must have other plans in their hearts one by one. They may have some developments that are not conducive to His Majesty the Emperor. This is because His Majesty does not need it now.

For these current generals, the generals all have their own ideas. They also want to take down the city and fulfill His Majesty's wish with a smile, but they have tried their best, so you let your soldiers I was working hard, and I even went up by myself, but the result now is not satisfactory, not as good as they want, not as good as His Majesty the Emperor cares, this city is still standing here, but the soldiers on the city wall are fighting more and more courageously, that Li Cong is really not good Knowing where they got so many of these things, they saw that the sky outside had already begun to turn into the second half of the day. If there were no results during the day, surely there would be no results at night? If that Li Cong had what happened last night again, thinking of their food and grass, and their soldiers, these religious sisters would feel a headache, how should they accomplish these things!

No matter what, we can't retreat. We will follow you back to the capital with face. Our heads will be taken off by ourselves. We will definitely take this city in the shortest possible time. If not, we will lose face and follow you back to the capital. Fuck, our heads will be taken off by ourselves. As a new general of the vanguard battalion, this guy's words can still give His Majesty a sense of security. Now His Majesty is already in a state of desperation. He needs such a person to speak. It is necessary for such a general to stand up and take responsibility. The communication in the Eastern Empire is not bad. Just after this guy finished speaking, other generals also expressed their opinions. They will definitely find a way to solve the immediate matter. It's like sending charcoal in the middle of the snow. Immediately, these two guys have titles and become earls. Those civil servants are all black-faced. These generals are going to die, and you are just talking about it.

Compared with the dizzy and bleak situation on the Eastern Empire side, Li Cong's side is much better. Li Cong originally thought that today's war would be very difficult to fight, but he did not expect that the Eastern Empire side did not make any new tricks. The shells made with that kind of magic stone only caused less than 50,000 casualties, although it seems that this number is not small. But compared with the huge casualties in the Eastern Empire, their side can't even keep up with a fraction of others. Originally, all the generals today said that the casualties must be more than 500,000 people. If it is lower than this casualty number, it is not There was a war, almost like a drill, and Li Cong believed it at the time. Who knew that five hours had passed, and only tens of thousands of casualties were on his side, a number that many people did not expect.

From the beginning of the war to now, Li Cong has taken out about three million grenades, which is already a very large number. on this planet. Fighting in the northern battlefield for such a long time did not consume so much ammunition, but in just a day or two here, so many grenades have been consumed. If the grenades are not consumed, life will be consumed. information. Li Cong knew it. Young Master Linghu had already started a large-scale retreat with his family members. The retreat was completely according to the plan. If Li Cong could give him ten days, he would definitely give himself a stable and stable rear. At that time, even if he retreats by himself, this young master Linghu will have enough strength to resist the government of the Eastern Empire. Therefore, he must take out another batch of grenades to support this war. The conversion method of grenades for time, Li Cong It also feels very good.

In the past, it was impossible for Li Cong to donate these grenades for nothing, but now it is different from before. The Linghu family is already a large amount of resources in the southern sea area to Li Cong. With a map on the sea, Li Cong took down all the islands in the southern coastal area of ​​the Eastern Empire. With such a map, even if he took out 30 million hand grenades, it would be a steady profit for Li Cong. , even my own interests are still hundreds of times or thousands of times. No matter what, I finally have my own foothold. Now even if I want to build an empire, I have my own territory, my own people, and everything of my own. It was completely different before, so with this Li Cong will definitely block the army of the Eastern Empire court for more than ten days, this can be regarded as an explanation to the Linghu family.

It was just in the afternoon, and what was different from the morning was that the Eastern Empire no longer had siege machines. Now they have to rely on the older method to attack the city, that is, all the cavalry withdraw from the battle, and all the infantry rush up To solve the war, the infantry took those ladders and climbed directly. This is also an ancient siege battle on this planet. If so many people attacked the city in the past and continued to attack the city, the city would definitely It won't last long, but for a city with a chain crossbow, it is impossible for you to have one person go up in such a siege, and other people can't do anything even if they shoot arrows. As long as there are two soldiers on the top of the ladder holding The serial crossbow, if the other end is facing here, you can't have one person go up, and the others can't help it no matter how hard they try.

Now that the war has been fought, Li Cong's subordinates still have a new way to deal with such a war. As long as you put the ladder up, they will go directly to the people below who are doing the problem and lose a grenade, no matter the soldiers below They didn't believe it when it was still called a ladder, but the war has reached the present, so they couldn't help but not believe what Li Cong said. Li Cong believed it very much, and many people didn't believe it at the beginning. , but the war has reached the point where they can’t help but believe what you said. The night is slowly falling, and another day has passed. The Eastern Empire has lost almost four million troops and has not gained anything. On the contrary, Li Cong's confidence is now full.

Like the northern battlefield, Li Cong bought a large amount of meat out of his own pocket to reward the army. These soldiers are also ordinary soldiers. In the past, they only ate meat once or twice a month in the army. How about other times? There will be a day of eating meat. In the past, when the army was paid, they still had to take care of their family members. Just like some soldiers on the city wall said, how could they have such a big day of eating meat? When I was sent to the military academy, I had to take care of my family. After sending all the money back, I could only eat a big pot in the army. If I want to go out and have a good time, that requires a lot of determination. But now look at the meat in the bowls they bought, all of which were bought by Li Cong himself. Basically all the pigs in the latter two cities were bought. Otherwise, how would these millions of people eat? How can there be enough to eat? For this, they are still very grateful to Mr. Li, who is very generous.

The soldiers sang while eating the meat. This voice was slowly transmitted to the army of the Eastern Empire. It was also given to them by Li Cong. The Eastern Empire has stopped attacking, so it is going to conduct a propaganda war. This is definitely a new term. They didn't understand what it meant. When they heard this word, there was nothing but question marks in their minds. Li Cong didn't bother to explain to them, but let the soldier on the city wall speak loudly, laugh loudly, loudly Spread your happiness out. Although a person's voice is very small. But it is very difficult for the barracks on the opposite side to hear such voices made by hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The emperor of the Eastern Empire also heard such voices at this moment, and his face was very ugly. It looked like it was going to eat people.

In his opinion, this is Li Cong demonstrating to himself. Don't know what's going on in your head? The emperor of the Eastern Empire certainly did not think that Li Cong was a person who could not fight at this time. Is it necessary to reward your army like this? I really don't know what's going on in your mind, but I just feel that even if you are a war genius, there is no need to show off like this. Everyone needs to be humble. Are you being too arrogant? The emperor of the Eastern Empire thinks this way, but the soldiers of the Eastern Empire don't think so. Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Empire are lamenting why people can eat meat, but we eat these cold food? I can still eat now. I heard that about 40% of the food has been lost. At that time, it was a luxury to have a full stomach. Many people know that after a few days, the ration of a person now becomes There are two people, maybe it will become three people, my head is in danger every day, and now I can't even eat my stomach, I am really sad.

The angry emperor of the Eastern Empire even wanted to order that his soldiers could also eat meat. Immediately, the officials of the household department stood up and reported to him. After spending billions of taels of silver, including casualties and pensions, more than 30 billion taels of silver have been fully slept today. Although the Eastern Empire is rich and powerful, this amount of money is nothing to them? But it’s just one day. If you lose that much in one day, this war is too much for the Eastern Empire. The emperor of the Eastern Empire finally knows that war is expensive, and he also knew that war before The fight is all about money, but I never thought that this war would be such a waste of money. In just one day, tens of billions of taels of silver went in. If the fight continues, even if you sell yourself, you may not be able to fill it. It's really a good thing to feel money for the first time.

Today may be a day when His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is worried about money. Less than half an hour after his war ended, a carrier pigeon flew from afar. All the guards in this camp knew this kind of carrier pigeon. This kind of thing is a fast animal that the royal family directly uses to deliver messages. Although it is not a monster, its flying speed is quite different from that of a monster. It is very possible to use a monster to deliver messages, but this monster The cost is also very huge, the cost of this kind of animal is relatively small, and it is easy for ordinary people to control, monsters cannot be controlled by ordinary people, in the eyes of monsters, ordinary people are the food in their mouths, how come He will listen to them, and only people like Li Cong can order Warcraft to do things, and he orders them with such peace of mind, who calls him the king of Warcraft.

The old eunuch next to him carefully took the carrier pigeon into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. The guy who was kicked in the morning has already been photographed, because his broken rib hurt his title page. He is now in critical condition and may be thrown away tonight. For their own lives, they must be careful with such a lesson learned from others. No matter what the mood of His Majesty the Emperor is, they must correct their attitude. This means that His Majesty the Emperor should stay far away so that their bodies do not come into contact with him. , His Majesty the Emperor himself is a level nine fighter. When he is angry, he will not suppress his ability. Kicking a person to death is a very simple matter. I should not touch that brow in the past. After putting down the carrier pigeon, this The eunuch retreated quickly, 50% faster than usual, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not observe him at this time, otherwise this guy would have directly blown his head off because of money problems, and it would be a disaster without any reason.

The content of the news is very simple, it is the behavior of Li Cong's warships in the southern waters. His Majesty the Emperor has two relatively important strongholds in the southern waters, which are not His Majesty's own private property, but the property of the entire empire, the property of the entire imperial court, especially the royal family. They know very well that those two islands There are very huge metal deposits, and an astonishing amount of silver and gold are produced, as well as precious metals such as platinum, and some other metals, all of which are very precious things. It has always been the source of 10% of the entire royal family. The source of the money has now been captured by the warships of the Cao Family Firm, and the millions of defensive troops on the island have all surrendered. Such news made His Majesty sit down directly. The paper in my hand also fell. The ministers quickly picked it up to see what was going on?

How is this possible? How could the people at Cao's House know their exact location. It can be said that the southern sea area is so big that it is boundless. Even if their warships have been sailing for several years, it is impossible to know the location of these two islands. This must be false news. This is absolutely not true, and we have a heavy defense on the island. Apart from the slaves, we have our own army of several million. Although these troops are the standard of the local army, even if it is a group of pigs lying there, the Cao family It is impossible for the people in the firm to occupy it so quickly. This news must be false. Don’t be sad, Your Majesty. A prince stepped forward and said, he has been to that island before. Cao’s firm seems to be in such a short time It is absolutely impossible to get there within the specified time and capture it. This is simply a dream, so he concluded that the news is false, it is the information sent by the spies of Cao's House, and there is no need to believe it at all.

His Majesty glanced at his uncle with some pity. He must be stupid. Although there are many such pigeons in the whole continent, he can tell at a glance that this pigeon is raised by the royal family. No matter how powerful the intelligence agency of Cao's House is, it is impossible to learn these code words. All of them are said in code words, not in plain code. It is estimated that this old uncle Huang in this room thinks so , Various aspects indicate that the news above is true. The royal family has now lost an important stronghold of financial revenue. They must re-examine this war. There are still many places to spend money next year. Should the war continue? Woolen cloth?

This is also a backhand arranged by Li Cong, saying that he knows very clearly that it is not easy for Li Cong to do this for the court to help me. It must be beaten until they hurt. The Linghu family provides that. This map is for Li Cong to do this. If the Linghu family has their own skills and their own fleet, this job will definitely not be cheap for Li Cong. Now Li Cong can tell everyone They are the richest people on the entire continent. Compared with the wealth of these two islands, the money Li Tong earned in the past was comparable at most. Li Cong's wealth more than doubled in an instant. It came from robbery, not by slowly accumulating. How can this not be called a rapid progress!

Of course, Li Cong is very happy at this moment, but for His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire, there is nothing to be happy about. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire is already dying of pain. This is how the war of Jianqian looks like. , he felt very depressed, but after receiving the news, he thought that even if the war failed, it would be nothing? Compared with that news, the failed war can continue to make a comeback, but can the lost things be regained? If he was on land, he would definitely take back his things, but now he is in the sea, facing head-to-head with the warships of Cao's House? Even if it is impossible to meet them face to face, I am very clear about how capable my navy is. If I want to fight against the navy of Cao's House, I still have to wait for hundreds of years. It is estimated that people will not know what level of progress they have reached within this year.

Your Majesty, even if the news on this piece of paper is true, we can't change anything now. Now we can only block the news, and then face our army to strengthen the siege tonight, I don't believe their city The people here are all iron men. Although we are dying, their people are too tired. When they are tired, we will definitely be able to go up. I don’t believe that they will not be tired. A general looked at the opposite The city wall said, the generals think about things very simply, they don't have other things in their eyes, only the war in front of them, although his words are a bit rude, in the past, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not use soldiers like this He bought his life in exchange for victory. This kind of victory is too tragic. Even if it is recorded in history books, there will never be a good description, but now he also needs such a victory, and the entire empire needs such a victory. victory.

Yes, we are now worried that other things have no effect. Now you all listen well and go back to reorganize your army. I will attack the city with me all night tonight. We cannot let the enemy have any time to rest. We have more people Yes, send me 20 million troops to attack in front of the main gate tonight. If you can be the first to climb the city wall, you will be rewarded with 302,000 silver, and you will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households. , under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire also understood this truth very well, and immediately issued a heavy reward. Many people in this room were dumbfounded. Although they are high-ranking officials, they have been fooling around for a lifetime He also doesn't have his own title, and if His Majesty the Emperor can't get up to these two titles casually, if he has the ability, he will definitely rush up.

It's a pity that all of them are civil servants. If they can't do this, they will be sent to death one by one. They can only think about who can get this honor at night, but their hearts are all Very sour, one by one cursing that person not to come, His Majesty the Emperor has issued such a big mouth, there must be many people who want this reward, and if they lose their lives on the battlefield, it can only be said that they have no ability Yes, but if you can let your descendants enjoy the blessings with you, that would be a very good thing. Now each of these people can be said to be completely clean. With such a reward, why not work hard? Are you going to let this opportunity go? Li Cong on the city wall also felt this, thinking that they are different from before, these guys have changed a little... (to be continued...)
