The first thousand one hundred and seventy-five chapters
The southern mouth of Muping River·Xinfeng City
The snow here is much lighter than upstream, and the fighting is more intense. The fall of the gods will have a clear response to the priestess and the divine heir. The city-state coalition forces that had just fought head-on with the Cai Dynasty colonial army were in an uproar. They retreated on the spot after defeat. The heroic colonial army soldiers
After bravely intercepting and killing countless people, harvesting a large amount of baggage including spiritual stones, and interrogating some high-level prisoners, Fengliang City got the news that the foreign city-state in the north had been attacked by the Han Dynasty and that several gods had fallen.
In the evening, the clouds cleared and the snow cleared from the sky. In the light of the setting sun, the water of the Muping River was dyed blood red. Not only the nearby battlefields, but also the blood flowing down the river... Something happened upstream.
When the general delivered this information to the Prince's Mansion, Prince Qing's complacency was instantly extinguished by cold water. He couldn't believe it. He couldn't help feeling nervous, his insides were surging, his heart was beating wildly, his eyes flashed, and he asked angrily: "
How is it possible? Why did he come to my side instead of going to the Eastern Expedition? Didn’t you all swear before that the enemy was just feigning an attack? "
Because the princess of the county is so noble that she cannot venture into the battlefield at will. In order to ensure victory, several generals who are really good at military affairs are already on the front line. With their rich war experience and elite soldiers under their subordinates, powerful real people, and abundant supplies of materials, they can deal with the natives of the mere city-states.
not a problem.
But as a result, the prince's palace was filled with half a bucket of water. Facing the Qing prince's questioning, the ministers could not help but be speechless.
But the words were still too heart-wrenching. Master Jiayang coughed, and Prince Qing came to his senses and said, "I lost my temper just now. Now that the facts have become true, what are your strategies for dealing with it?"
"Perhaps Ye Qing has spies who infiltrated into southern Xinjiang, knew that we were at war with foreign city-states, and took the opportunity to pick the fruits..."
"Yep"
At this time, the ministers did not dare to casually mention countermeasures, they only talked in general terms.
Just after hearing the secret spies, King Qing looked at Ning Juan who was attending the meeting. He suppressed the doubts in his heart. He knew that this woman's interests were ultimately tied to him. He tried to ask as sincerely as possible: "Madam, she knew what was going on, and she knew about Mu Pinghe."
What do the North and South Water Systems think about this matter?"
Ning Juan looked at him in silence for a moment and said softly: "The worst plan for the current plan is that the Han Congress will take advantage of the situation, and my husband will be prepared to resist..."
"In any case, we won this battle. Didn't we just capture a lot of spiritual stones? They can be used to strengthen the city defense and complete the formation."
"The people of the scattered villages should gather them back to a few big cities to avoid being captured by the Han Dynasty... This is just my wife's opinion, and there are many mistakes. My husband should listen to the opinions of virtuous ministers.
"
After hearing this, Prince Qing looked a little disappointed. This woman was still trying to persuade and defend in the same way. She was saying that she was no match for Ye Qing.
There was a minister who was old and lean, with a pair of bright eyes, and he stroked his beard: "I think what the princess said is very reasonable. Everyone has his own strengths, and the same is true for the five veins. Ye Qing is good at attacking and changing opportunities. We can't
Use your shortcomings to attack others' strong points."
"Yes, we should at least determine the war situation in southern Xinjiang before making a decision."
"My lord, please think twice."
Prince Qing became silent after hearing this. The two plans of attack and defense in war require completely different preparations - in the simplest terms, use spiritual objects to build a defensive array. If this is not used, part of the array disk and spiritual stones can be recovered, drawing
The array of rare spiritual objects will be wasted, and conversely, the same is true for the vehicle-mounted array disk. With the same resources, whichever end of the attack and defense is strengthened will definitely lead to the weakening of the other end.
Therefore, how to use the many newly captured baggage trophies is the basis of the next plan.
He actually wanted to compete with Ye Qing in the speed of devouring the foreign city-states in southern Xinjiang. It was too uncomfortable to stand and watch Ye Qing eat meat. However, this incident gave him a great sense of crisis. The ministers who saw the meeting were all deeply moved.
He thought it was true, and thought that this was also in line with what Tu De was good at, so he actually listened to it this time: "Then let's shrink the army for the time being, expand the legal formations of several major cities, and build more city defenses."
"My concubine's suggestion may be wrong. My husband didn't send a message first to ask the opinions of the four generals Li, Ning, Xue and Wu on the front line." Ning Juan secretly sent a message and said that she didn't know much about military affairs, but she was good at collecting all kinds of rivers.
She always felt that listening to more opinions and using more methods would be more reliable. As a female cultivator, she also understood the saying that listening to both sides would lead to enlightenment, and listening to one side would lead to darkness.
"What do you know? Orders can only come from above."
Prince Qing's face twitched, but he didn't hear the woman's indecisive and capricious suggestions. He felt that he had let this woman have too much influence before, and the repeated swings between offense and defense were too detrimental to his prestige. He couldn't lose face anymore, so he ignored it.
Suggestions for soliciting opinions from frontline generals... Sometimes, the leader should be more decisive in killing
Ning Juan remained silent, a little worried, but she could not interfere in the military affairs of the county and prince's palace, so she could only hope that her husband would make the right decision.
She had just suggested a safe defense, but she was worried that her husband would insist on going north to fight the Han army in a foreign city-state. Although they were both in unfamiliar enemy territory, when it came to adapting to changes, her husband could not compare to Ye Qing, and he was mediocre.
If the supply line is blocked, Ye Qing will probably collapse.
The pure defensive situation now is the best strategy she can think of to deal with it, but when it comes to whether she can survive it, she is not sure...
Heimai has not participated in the Dragon Fight for a long time. Although she has been influenced by her father, she has not received a complete military education. She can only comfort herself - the generals in the house agree with this, so they are not freeloaders, right?
The sun set over the mountain, and the black stars also set, and night fell. Looking at the dark night in the north and the sky full of ice and snow, thinking about the dangerous man approaching during the expedition, she trembled inexplicably, forcing herself to suppress her thoughts, and the imperial army went on defense.
I'm still very good at fighting, so there shouldn't be any problems.
A city-state in southern Xinjiang·Cai Jun’s frontline camp
Ice-cold snowflakes were falling outside, and a magician rushed into the tent. The raised tent brought in a gust of cold wind, which chilled the hearts of the soldiers. They were about to capture the first foreign city-state, but instead they got the county prince's palace.
When the order to retreat was issued, the four generals Li, Ning, Xue, and Wu, who had always advocated the offensive, turned blue and white.
A young general's eyes were red and he was tired from staying up all night to patrol the army. At this time, he was angry: "We have been preparing for a whole year just for this winter harvest. If we don't grab it now, when the Han Dynasty engulfs southern Xinjiang, there will be nothing along the coast of our colonial area."
The strategic depth is very deep. If the Han army moves south and the navy attacks from the sea, wouldn't it be in danger?
"Who gave the prince an idea... No, I have to write a letter to persuade him." Another young general said in a deep voice.
Another general looked at the order over and over again, staring at the royal dragon mark for a long time. He was silent for a while and shook his head: "It's too late. Your prince's character... is firm. Once he makes a decision, he will not
Change."
Soldiers are very bloody, and they are determined to do something. The general is away and the military orders are not obeyed. However, the military power of each other is restrained by each other. There are also military eunuchs watching in the tent. The four of them looked at each other and did not dare to disobey the orders.
This kind of military power configuration to deal with the alliance of foreign city-states was finally exposed to fatal consequences when they encountered a sudden surprise attack by the Han Dynasty.
After a while, the three generals dispersed, and there was silence in the tent. The middle-aged general who did not say anything said, "Hey, with a laugh, he threw his helmet to the ground: "It's just that the great situation was lost in the hands of a child. I will never die in the future.
The place of burial"
A month has passed in a hurry, and the entire southern Xinjiang has been covered with thick ice and snow. It is always much more difficult for soldiers and civilians to use sleds and snowboards as walking aids for long-distance operations.
Since the snowfields during the day are prone to snow blindness, which can damage vision, the Han state may have shown sympathy for its soldiers and switched to attacking at night. For some reason, the offensive was not affected. They captured cities and territories almost under the nose of the Cai Dynasty, wiping out various foreign city-states bit by bit.
It swallowed up southern Xinjiang and finally stopped between the middle and lower reaches of Muping River.
It just happened that it did not cross the colonial territory of the Cai Dynasty, so in line with the ostrich mentality, the heated public opinion among the people stopped for a while, but Xinfeng City was still nervously expanding the magic circle and building more walls.
Several generals who were good at using troops kept them on the front line, but generally they did not attack. Originally, the dense forests in southern Xinjiang were difficult to detect, and the Han Dynasty used elite squads to quickly shield military information. The fog on the battlefield was originally a difficult problem to solve.
With such an artificial blockade, even these experienced generals were confused as to whether the military situation on the other side was true or false.
There were very few foreign warriors who could escape from the tightly sealed room. These prisoners were tortured a lot. However, due to the inconvenience of language communication, and worse, the poor cognitive and descriptive abilities of the lower-level foreign barbarians, they all suffered from nutritional deficiency and night blindness, and they could not do anything at night.
I couldn't see clearly, and I couldn't understand how the Han Dynasty carried out its offensives one after another.
It's rare to catch a few high-level officials looking like they were having a nervous breakdown due to excessive stimulation. The one who yelled the most was: "God is dead - God is dead -"
Nonsense... Everyone knows that if a country is destroyed and a state is destroyed, none of these alien gods can be left behind.
"There is no useful information at all, what should we do now?"
There were several silences during the discussions held in the Prince's Mansion. Prince Qing was frightened when he knew that he had turned against him last time. These people were just timid. They didn't even understand that thunder, rain and dew were all the kindness of the king. He could only look at the people and said sincerely: "My dear friends, all of you are
I am a humble minister, why don't you speak freely?"
The ministers who stayed behind discussed it for a while, and finally the topic was opened. Some people vowed: "At least the Han Dynasty will never use further troops against the south this year until it has stabilized the newly conquered area and established logistics."
"There must be a limit to the so-called surprise soldiers, right?"
"Although I don't know how to cross the Fantasy Forest, I will probably sneak attack on the east flank, but there is no water system like the Muping River that runs from north to south, and the transportation conditions are very poor. I am sure...
"We should prepare for counterattack early. Once the Han State dispatches its elite troops to conquer the eastern states, it will be our chance to take back southern Xinjiang."
In short, everyone believed that the Han Kingdom would not attack. King Qing was a little shaken after hearing this. He had always wanted to attack, but now he had no hope of defending, or had something changed?
