The news that the demon army appeared in Qingzhu Town finally spread throughout the Beidou Continent. Besides Zhang Chutian, the second person to receive the news was Sun Zhongyu. He was in Yaoguangge Fucheng and suddenly felt the pressure.
In the palace of Gefu City, Sun Zhongyu came to the main hall ahead of all the civil and military officials.
Half an hour later, civil and military officials walked in one after another and stood on both sides.
Looking at the civil and military officials who walked in energetically one by one, Sun Zhongyu showed a smile on his face and said: "Every minister seems to be in a good mood today. Tell me, what made you so happy?
"
"Your Majesty, I have just received news that the army led by the military counselor has launched an attack on Huan City. With the help of the giant clan, Huan City will soon be included in Yaoguang's territory. Watching Yaoguang's territory expand day by day, we will naturally
Happy."
It was Bo Yi's father who spoke. After his grandfather committed suicide, Sun Zhongyu promoted his father to the position of prime minister. At this moment, Yaoguang was at war with foreign countries all year round, and the country needed someone to govern. As he led Chu Huaiqingnan
During the Northern Expedition, almost everything in Yaoguang was taken care of by the newly appointed prime minister.
He was very satisfied with the result. After his baptism, Gef City became unprecedentedly united. Of course, many people were afraid that Sun Zhongyu would not be able to support the precarious Yaoguang Kingdom during the previous rebellion. But after seeing his talent,
After the great strategy, they, as ministers, will naturally be loyal. No minister of any country will cause chaos in his own country. If he wants to cause chaos, it will be unfair to the emperor.
After glancing at the prime minister, Sun Zhongyu glanced at the other ministers and said with a smile: "Is this the same reason for you?"
Before the ministers could speak, Sun Zhongyu put away his smile and said, "I think so."
"Besides that, didn't you hear anything else?"
"Other things?"
The loyal ministers were confused and looked at Sun Zhongyu in surprise. When the Yaoguang and Yuheng alliance troops attacked Huancheng, what could be more important than this?
"The demons have appeared."
After Sun Zhongyu pondered for a moment, he stood up slowly and said in a deep voice: "They have now reached Qingzhu Town. Everyone on Beidou Continent knows very well that Qingzhu Town used to be an inconspicuous town, but it is this inconspicuous town that
This small town is the only gateway for the demons to cross the wilderness and enter the Beidou Continent. In the past, the demon army only had to destroy the land.
They walked through Qingzhu Town and reached Wanliu City in Kaiyang Kingdom. However, this inconspicuous town has now become the world-famous Qingzhu Town. It was the appearance of Zhao Qingzhu that allowed the demon army to move forward.
The footsteps stopped. Now, Qingzhu Town is facing an attack by an army of 500,000 demons. Zhang Chutian sent an army of 300,000 to resist the demons together with Zhao Qingzhu."
"Okay, just use the hands of the demons to kill the traitor Zhao Qingzhu?"
"Traitor?"
Sun Zhongyu was slightly startled and turned to look at the minister who was speaking, "Who said Zhao Qingzhu is a traitor?"
"this…"
The minister hesitated to speak after feeling Sun Zhongyu's eyes. Isn't this a wanted order personally issued by His Majesty? Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say it when Sun Zhongyu's eyes glanced at him.
Sun Zhongyu did not pursue the question any further, but after looking around at everyone, he said softly: "I want to withdraw troops from Huan City..."
"His Majesty!"
Sun Zhongyu's simple words exploded in the hall like thunder. After a slight shock, all the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
"Oh, why?"
"Huan City is already in our possession. If we withdraw our troops at this time, I'm afraid..."
"Of course I know that Fantasy City is already in our possession, but once Qingzhu Town is lost, the demon army will march straight into Kaiyang Kingdom. Once Kaiyang Kingdom is destroyed, Tianshu Kingdom will probably be the first to bear the brunt."
Prime Minister Bo raised his head, a trace of treachery flashed in his eyes, "We can take advantage of the situation to take over Tianquan Kingdom at this time."
"Then what?"
Sun Zhongyu tilted his head and looked at Prime Minister Bo, and then said: "When we captured Tianquan Kingdom, Tianshu Kingdom was probably already the territory of the demon clan. As long as the demon clan occupied Tianshu Kingdom, they could condescendingly seize Yaoguang.
And the Tianquan Kingdom that we conquered will also become the wedding dress of the Demon Clan. Since then, most of the Beidou Continent has been lost, and the time when the Demon Clan will unify the Beidou Continent is not far away."
"We must ask Chu Huaiqing to withdraw his troops immediately. Qingzhu Town can hold on for two days at most."
A trace of worry flashed in Sun Zhongyu's eyes. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had to make a decisive decision when the demon army invaded.
This decision is naturally to give up the struggle for hegemony and fight to the death with the demons.
The demons have been sharpening their swords for thousands of years and have always been ambitious to return to Beidou Continent. Now their time has come. The half-million-strong army attacking Qingzhu Town is just a vanguard. Once this vanguard army takes Qingzhu Town and attacks Wanliu City,
, the follow-up army of the demons will continue to pour out of the wilderness and enter the Beidou Continent. By then, it will be too late for them to make any decision.
When he made this decision, he never considered whether the minister was willing or not. He just said it to let everyone know that he was very concerned. Hegemony is important, but if there is no territory, there is no hegemony.
"Your Majesty, even if the military advisor withdraws his troops at this time, it is impossible for them to arrive at Qingzhu Town within two days. Even if they can arrive, if such an astonishing number of troops enter Kaiyang Kingdom, will Zhang Chutian let them enter?"
Sun Zhongyu fell silent. This was not a problem at all. When Zhang Chutian decisively sent an army of 300,000 to Qingzhu Town, it was enough to see this man's broadmindedness.
…
In the direction of Huan City, millions of troops rushed towards the walls of Huan City like a tide. The shouts of killing, roars, and the sounds of artillery hitting the city walls were intertwined, suppressing the fear of death and the smell of blood.
Although there was help from the giant clan, the strong monsters from the fantasy city blocked the giant clan's steps, preventing them from getting close to the city wall. Without these strong monsters, the wall would have been unattainable long ago.
They were trampled under their feet.
Chu Huaiqing did not sit in the military camp, but rode a war horse and stood one mile opposite the gate of Huan City. Beside him stood a general from the Yuheng Kingdom.
Seeing the soldiers rushing out all over the mountains and plains, and seeing the figures around the city wall climbing up like ants and then being shot down by the Fantasy City soldiers on the top of the wall, Chu Huaiqing had no expression on his face.
Although the fantasy city is guarded by strong men from the demon clan, and Zhuang Qingxiu is personally in charge, he believes that within half a month at most, this fantasy city will become a city in his Yaoguang territory.
Siege battles are always the most cruel. If he wants to completely capture Fantasy City, he has to use the lives and blood of countless soldiers to build a road. The sound of war drums resounds throughout the earth, the shouts of charging soldiers shake the sky and the earth, and the collision of weapons
The sparks looked particularly dazzling in the sky darkened by the war.
"The imperial edict arrives..."
Suddenly, a soldier from Gef City rushed over quickly on a war horse. Before the horse could stop, he jumped off the horse, then quickly rushed to Chu Huaiqing, and said hurriedly: "
Military advisor, your majesty gives an urgent order."
Without any hesitation, Chu Huaiqing took the imperial edict and opened it.
General Yu Hengguo who was standing next to him also looked over at the same time. When he saw the content of the imperial edict, his expression changed slightly and he said in a voiceless voice: "Retract the troops?"
Chu Huaiqing ignored him, quickly read the content and then ordered a soldier behind him: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops..."
"No!"
Seeing that Chu Huaiqing actually followed the imperial edict without hesitation, he stepped forward and said excitedly: "Huan City is about to become ours. If you choose to withdraw your troops at this time, what exactly will your Majesty do?"
After glancing at the general, Chu Huaiqing spoke again, "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops."
"Let me see who dares..."
The general drew his sword out of its scabbard and shouted loudly: "We can't withdraw our troops!"
"Xu Wei, do you want to disobey the king?"
"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."
"Xu Wei, didn't you see that the imperial decree said that the demon army appeared?"
"Didn't see it."
Xu Wei raised his voice and said loudly: "I only see that Huan City is about to be conquered by us. If we withdraw our troops at this time, how do you want me to explain to the parents of those soldiers who died in the battle?"
Chu Huaiqing fell silent, and after staring at Xu Wei for a moment, he suddenly turned around and walked to the front of the car in person.
"I will kill anyone who calls for gold and withdraws his troops!"
Xu Wei was completely anxious. He quickly came to Chu Huaiqing and pointed his sword at his throat.
Chu Huaiqing did not hesitate, raised the drumstick and struck the hammer hard.
"Damn it!"
When Xu Wei saw that Chu Huaiqing was really calling for gold to withdraw his troops, he cursed and completely lost his mind, and thrust his sword forward.
"Bold Xu Wei..."
At this critical moment, with a loud roar, a spear whizzed over and pierced Xu Wei's body with a pop.
Before Xu Wei could recover, Wuya jumped up to Chu Huaiqing. But he was still a step too late. Xu Wei's long sword had already cut through Chu Huaiqing's throat...
This frightened Wu Ya, who kicked Xu Wei away and supported Chu Huaiqing.
Chu Huaiqing's life was not in danger, but his throat was stabbed with a gash. When Wuya supported him, he covered his throat with his hands and said hurriedly: "Wuya, hurry up, Ming Jin withdraws the troops..."
"Ming Jin..."
Wuya was slightly startled, and Chu Huaiqing seemed to know what he was thinking, and added: "The demons have appeared..."
As soon as the word "demon clan" came out, Wuya stepped out, picked up the mallet and struck the bell fiercely.
The signal to withdraw troops soon sounded. The generals who were commanding the army to attack the city heard the sudden sound. Although they had doubts in their hearts, they still conveyed the order.
For a moment, the soldiers who were rushing towards the crumbling Fantasy City like a tide returned like an ebbing tide.
Seeing the sudden retreat of Yao Guang and Yu Heng's army, the powerful monsters who were fighting with the giant clan also quickly returned to the city wall. The giant clan all turned around and looked in the direction of Chu Huaiqing in confusion.
"What's going on?
A leader of the giant clan came to Chu Huaiqing with earth-shaking steps. He was originally angry. When he saw the blood pouring out of Chu Huaiqing's throat, his expression changed slightly, "Who did this?"
?”
"fine."
Chu Huaiqing looked up at the thirty-foot giant in front of him and said weakly: "The demon clan has appeared!"
"Where?"
"We are attacking Qingzhu Town."
"Damn."
The thirty-foot giant stomped his feet fiercely, looked back at the fantasy city that was about to be captured by them, and said to the other giants: "Follow me to kill Qingzhu Town quickly." The news of the demon army's appearance in Qingzhu Town was finally over.
The news spread throughout the Beidou Continent, and besides Zhang Chutian, the second person to receive the news was Sun Zhongyu. Being in Yaoguangge Fucheng, he suddenly felt the pressure.
