After the meeting, everyone dispersed to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Yuchili returned to his temporary residence and held a small military council meeting. His advisers all gathered together to analyze the current battle situation and see how the next battle should be fought.
The discussion was in full swing, but Yu Chili never spoke. He sat behind the handsome case, squinting his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face from time to time.
"General, do you have a plan?" asked his counselor.
"Oh, not yet. You continue to discuss and see how we can have a chance of winning."
"The general doesn't seem worried about the current situation?"
"Ha, of course there are some difficulties at the moment, but Cheng Dalei's soldiers are too few. If he wants to trap us in Huangsha City, it is almost impossible to do it." Yuchili said: "So, it's not a big deal, of course.
, it can’t be said to be easy.”
"But the general seems to have already secured victory?"
"Oh...I'm not happy because of this." Yuchili seemed to have understood what his subordinates were confused about. He blinked and said, "Don't you think that His Highness is becoming more and more like an emperor?"
Are you the emperor?"
The subordinates were stunned. Some people who participated in today's meeting recalled Li Letian's performance. In the past, Li Letian was a personable person who treated others with humility and courtesy. However, today, in addition to being humble, he also showed courage.
Subtly, Li Letian gained everyone's recognition. As for his competitors... Li Xing fled Yangzhou, declaring that he had no chance of becoming the emperor. As for Li Xingzai, his performance in this war was really nothing worth mentioning.
A place to talk.
If Li Letian can successfully ascend to the throne, his supporters will undoubtedly gain huge benefits. As for Prime Minister Cui, he is destined to be eliminated in this gamble because he did not vote correctly.
This kind of thing is destined to make some people happy and others worried. How happy Yuchili is, how bad Cui Xiang's mood is. Now Cui Xiang will run to Li Xingzai's place whenever he has time, and greet Li Xingzai, for fear that his body will be damaged.
There is no doubt that even Li Xingzai's biological father did not treat him so well.
Li Xingzai's body was not seriously injured, but he was temporarily unable to move, but Cui Xiang's mood really couldn't get better. The more he looked at Li Xingzai's appearance, the more he felt that he had little to do with the throne. Cui Xiang couldn't help but think, investing in this useless prince, he himself
Did you really do something wrong?
Huangsha City entered a state of emergency preparation and prepared to start fighting at dawn the next day. In total, this was already the third day they entered Huangsha City.
Two teams were sent to attack the camp of the Toad Army. One was the Liangzhou soldiers led by Song Bokang, the Mu of Liangzhou, and the second was the Qingzhou soldiers led by Zhou Huanjing, the Mu of Qingzhou. Each of the two groups sent some men, totaling 10,000 people.
Before the battle began, Prime Minister Cui summoned Song Bokang alone.
"grown ups……"
Cui Xiang waved his hand, asked Song Bokang to sit down, and asked: "Facing Cheng Dalei's toad army, the two armies are about the same. What are your chances of winning?"
"this……"
All in all, Song Bokang was the group of people who knew Cheng Dalei best, because Toad City was in Liangzhou controlled by Song Bokang. However, because the distance was too close, Song Bokang became more aware of the terror of Toad City.
Today's battle is just a tentative attack. Even if the forces are equal, Song Bokang has little chance of winning.
"Subordinates can only do their best."
"It's not about trying your best." Cui Xiang shook his head: "It's about allowing defeat but not winning."
"Uh...this!" Song Bokang was shocked.
Cui Xiang smiled, and his smile was a little bitter: "The eldest prince has been in the limelight too much, it's time for him to taste what it feels like to fail."
Song Bokang only paused briefly before realizing the key. He nodded slowly and solemnly.
"Subordinates take orders."
Drums were beating and shaking at the top of the city, and the Imperial Army launched an attack on the Toad Army. Qingzhou soldiers and Liangzhou soldiers came out of the city at the same time and attacked the Toad Army's camp. Li Letian and others stood at the top of the city to watch the battle.
This battle concerns the hearts of many people. Cheng Dalei sneak attacked many troops, and even the 50,000 Yangzhou army was defeated by them. But these are just hearsay. Whether the toad army led by Cheng Dalei is really invincible?
Everyone will wait and see today.
The imperial army was sharpening their swords, and the Toad Army was obviously not idle either. The two sides launched a fierce confrontation. The people watching the battle at the top of the city saw with their own eyes the fighting style of the Toad Army.
First, gunpowder was used to bombard the soldiers. Even if the power of the gunpowder was not very powerful, it was enough to make the imperial soldiers fall off their backs. Then the cavalry charged, hacking and killing the broken soldiers. Among the senior figures in the empire, they showed their exquisite riding skills. They
His riding skills are not even weaker than those of the Rong tribe, who claim to have invincible cavalry.
After the cavalry formed a huge impact on the imperial army, it was followed by the infantry's all-out charge, with combos, fire thunders, plum blossom formations, etc. showing their super power.
"what is that!"
"Oh, what is that?"
The top of Huangsha City let out exclamations of surprise. The weapons and formations brought out by the Toad Army frightened them.
But this is not even all of the Toad Army. What shocked the Imperial Army the most was the super organizational ability displayed by the Toad Army.
A group of ten people, a team of a hundred people, a battalion of a thousand people... Every Imperial Army soldier has to face attacks from three to four Toad Army soldiers at the same time. They cooperate with each other tacitly, and after killing one person, they immediately turn to the other one.
The overall strength of the Imperial Army still has an advantage, but locally, the Imperial Army always faces a situation where there are fewer enemies and more enemies.
They swept across the battlefield like a whirlwind, and wherever they went, the Imperial troops fell to the ground in pieces like wheat in the autumn harvest.
If the Imperial Army couldn't produce gunpowder, weapons, and formations due to technical limitations, but in this scene, the Imperial Army couldn't figure out all the tricks inside.
The empire's military sources generally include: standing army, reserve army, and levied army. The combat effectiveness is from strong to weak, and the number is also from small to large. Most of them are levied troops temporarily transferred. Most of them are ordinary civilians. When a war comes, they will
If they were given a weapon, they would be driven into battle with whips. Sometimes they would not even be given weapons, but would use their heads to carry the enemy's weapons.
For example, Toad City has 30,000 troops. In fact, according to the empire's algorithm, all civilians can be dragged to the battlefield, so Toad City's military strength should exceed 100,000.
It's hard to say what kind of combat effectiveness these temporarily gathered civilians will have, let alone how they will cooperate.
But feeding an elite standing army requires huge financial support. Wars are fought over and over, but in fact, the war is still about money.
Under such circumstances, the defeat of the Imperial Army was natural. Li Letian looked at the defenseless Imperial Army and reluctantly chose to withdraw.
