Sauron looked at Turingchen, while the other party's eyes fell on Princess Yan Yan.
Turingchen's attitude was not humble, but rather arrogant.
"In today's first battle, we did lose miserably." Turingchen said: "However, there is different news from Tianlang Pass."
Sauron said: "I also saw it. Jian Ze suddenly sent a hundred thousand main force to attack Tianlang Pass in an endless stream, but he was able to break through it."
Turingchen said: "Your Excellency Sauron, what is the name of your new weapon?"
"Artillery." Sauron said.
"Artillery? What a name!" Turingchen said: "It is very powerful, but not very powerful. Because the interval between each shot is too long, it is an invincible weapon at sea, but on the ground, it seems..."
Indeed, if we use the human sea tactic and continuously charge forward, the power of the artillery will be greatly reduced.
Turingchen continued: "Most of Your Majesty Sauron's army are mercenaries. There is no problem with the combat quality of these people, but their fighting will is too poor. So in terms of combat effectiveness, they should not be as good as the Dragon Guard Army, nor as good as the Dragon Guard Army."
Let the princes be elite."
Sauron nodded, acknowledging this.
In addition to the hard-core Silver Wolf Legion, the earliest Soxh City Guards, and the later Rock Bandits Legion, most of his army were mercenaries, all here for money.
Turingchen added: "Of course, you still have a large part of the army in your hands, which was captured from Duke Zhiwei's southeastern army. I believe that you don't dare to overestimate their loyalty. If Lord Sauron fights
If it goes well, then everything is fine. If it doesn't go well, it's natural for them to switch sides and stab you in the back."
Sauron had no doubt about this.
He has risen too fast, and there are too few direct troops that truly belong to him. Moreover, there is no so-called memory of bitterness and sweetness in this world, and there is no way to brainwash. Therefore, whether it is a mercenary or a new army that has been captured and reorganized, for them,
Regarding loyalty, Sauron expressed a pessimistic attitude.
At present, the only ones he can trust are the Sox Family Army, the Hardcore Silver Wolf Army, and the Rock Bandits Army. The first two together only amount to less than 20,000 people, while the Rock Bandits Army's 50,000 people make it an absolute force.
Main force.
The Rock Bandits had 50,000 people, Sauron allocated 20,000 to the Tianlangguan battlefield, 5,000 to the Nujiang battlefield in the north, and the remaining 25,000 were on the Fengleibao defense line.
Sauron said: "Turingchen, if you have something to say, say it directly and don't beat around the bush."
Tu Lingchen said: "Jian Ze has 200,000 troops in his hands, but only 100,000 Southwest Legions are effective. The remaining provincial coalition forces are second-line armies. Most of them are ruffians and have little combat effectiveness. In today's battle, Jian Ze
All the troops were sent by the Southwest Army, and more than 10,000 people were left as a supervising team. Those who retreated would die! So the only 80,000 people who were actually used to attack Tianlang Pass were directly defeated."
"Say something quickly." Sauron said angrily, his patience was never enough.
Tu Lingchen said: "And we still have 400,000 troops on hand, which is nearly five times that of Jian Ze. Once we, like Jian Ze, make all-out efforts and use the human sea tactic to attack the Fenglei Fort defense line crazily. Do you think we can break through it?
"
If you make a desperate move and keep adding lives to the pile.
Every meter of Fenglei Fort's defense line has to withstand enemies that have to pass today's Tianlang Pass.
The key is that in today's battle of Tianlang Pass, Jian Ze's army attacked the city wall three times, and the last time it directly broke through and occupied Tianlang Pass.
The Fengleibao Defense Line is different from the Tianlang Pass.
Behind the city wall of Tianlang Pass, there are many castles and passes that can be used for defense.
After the Fenglei Fort defense line was broken through, there was only a simple military camp, and a smooth road behind it led directly to the main city of Tianshui.
In other words, it doesn't matter if Tianlang Pass is breached, it can still be recaptured.
Once the Fenglei Fort defense line is breached, the enemy will be really unstoppable and rush directly towards Tianshui City. At that time, the entire Tianshui City will be like a powerless beauty, allowing others to ravage her.
Once the Fenglei Fort defense line is breached, it basically means defeat!
So, will the Fenlei Fort defense line be breached under this desperate human sea tactic?
Sauron doesn't know, but judging from today's battle situation at Tianlang Pass, there is a high possibility that Fenglei Castle's defense line will be breached.
Because artillery is not as powerful as imagined on the battlefield.
Perhaps, it will be after the arrival of high explosives, especially the era of breech-loaded artillery, that artillery can become the true god of war.
Turing Chen said: "If we make a desperate move and send all the troops to attack the city, what do you think is the probability of breaking through the Fenglei Castle defense line? Is it 70%?"
Seventy percent, almost!
Sauron said: "Even if we break through, how many of your people will die?"
Turing Chen said: "Yes, this is the key point. Today, the Southwest Army suffered nearly 60,000 casualties, which made my father's heart bleed. These armies are the foundation for my Turing family to settle down, and they are also the foundation for the prosperity and stability of the Nulang Kingdom.
.His Royal Highness Ji Li is like a trapped animal, he can only survive after death. He doesn't care even if he kills the last soldier. As long as he can defeat you, he can ascend to the throne. He faces a dead end. But my father is not...
"
That's right, Li Li can only fight to the end, either to become the king or to become a bandit.
But Turing Tuo is different. He can switch to the camp and pledge allegiance to Xi Yan. At that time, he will still be the number one person in the headquarters, and he will still be the number one person in the King of Furious Waves' side.
After Xi Yan ascends the throne, Sauron, as the royal husband and regent, will not compete with Turing Tuo for his position. For Turing Tuo, the only uncomfortable thing is that he will have to rely on Sauron in the future.
And if Turing Tuo followed Li Li and made a desperate move, not to mention the possibility of losing.
Even if he won in the end, the main force of his Dragon Guard Army would suffer countless casualties. You must know that today on the battlefield of Tianlang Pass, 60,000 of the 100,000 soldiers of the Southwest Army had already been killed or injured. If the Dragon Guard Army also suffered heavy casualties, then the Turing family still had
How many troops can be left?
The army is the foundation of Turing Tuo's glory and wealth. If all the troops at hand are lost, what will he use to resist Li Li's Bird Gongzang in the future?
This is why the Duke of Turingdor sent his son to negotiate with Hao Yan.
Comparatively speaking, it would be most beneficial for him to betray Zhili and switch to Zhiyan at this time.
Suddenly, Tu Lingchen solemnly lifted up his robe, knelt down towards Princess Yanyan and said: "Your Highness, this is a civil war. The people who died are all the soldiers of my Nulang Kingdom, and the vitality of the Nulang Kingdom is hurt. In the future,
In the decisive battle, no matter who loses or wins, the casualties will be over hundreds of thousands. If the Li side wins, because of his special relationship with the Dragon Temple, the Yan Empire and the Xiliang Kingdom may not dare to take advantage of the situation..."
Tu Lingchen raised his head, looked at Princess Yanyan's beautiful face and said: "But if you win, the casualties of both armies will only be more. Once Her Royal Highness the Princess ascends the throne, it is well known that the Dragon Temple has always been unwilling to be secular.
The royal power broke the tradition and allowed women to take the throne. By then, the kingdom would have completely lost the protection of the Dragon Temple, and the Xiliang Kingdom and the Yan Empire would definitely take advantage of it. Because of this civil war, we suffered four to five million casualties, and half of the kingdom's army was lost. By then,
How can we resist the tiger and wolf armies of Xiliang Kingdom and Yan Empire?"
What Tu Lingchen said makes sense.
If Yan Yan ascends the throne, the Dragon Temple will definitely be furious. The Xiliang Kingdom, which is eyeing the Nulang Kingdom, will not let go of the opportunity, and the Yan Empire will also take advantage of it.
The Kingdom of Wrath, which lost half of its army due to civil war, is indeed in danger.
After saying that, Tu Lingchen kowtowed solemnly to Princess Yanyan and said: "Your Highness, please think twice!"
At this time, Sauron appeared. Turingtuo chose to negotiate with Xi Yan, not Sauron!
Judging from Turingchen's attitude, Sauron is even going to be thrown aside in this negotiation.
…
At this time, the entire camp fell into a very strange silence.
Every night before, Xili would have a big banquet for all the ministers.
And some princes, nobles, and high-ranking generals would seize the opportunity every night to flatter and flatter everyone in the Lili camp.
And tonight, after the war is over and we return to camp.
All the princes immediately went into their tents and never came out again.
Even senior civil servants and senior generals were hiding in their tents, as if they had fallen asleep.
The usually bustling military camp in Zilizhong was as quiet as a ghost.
Li Li lay sadly on the bed, and there was no light in the tent. He just stared into the darkness, feeling extremely absurd and desolate in his heart.
How ridiculous!
Before his wall has even fallen down, countless people are ready to push it away.
This world is too realistic and too cold.
Today, he just lost the first battle, and he was already left in the cold. It is conceivable that if he was really defeated, those who had flattered him before, and those who flattered him, would not hesitate to step on him with ten thousand stones.
foot.
Before, he was among hundreds of thousands of troops. He felt like a god, supported by thousands of troops, with the right time, place, and people under his control.
But now, he is still among thousands of troops, but he feels like he is alone.
How many of these 400,000 troops are truly loyal to him? Maybe there are only 10,000 Shaofu troops!
There are hundreds of thousands of troops left, which can turn into ferocious beasts at any time and bite him until there is no trace of his body left.
…
In Turinduo’s tent!
"Father, why?" Turinduo roared.
Her snow-white face looked particularly ferocious at this time, and her eyes were bloodshot.
"Why?" Duke Turingto said.
"Don't think that I don't know where Turingchen has gone?" Turingduo said: "I know you too well. Seeing that the situation is not good, you are ready to betray His Highness Ji Li and plan to be loyal to Sauron.
"
Duke Turingduo ignored him and was still practicing calligraphy and meditating, waiting for Turingchen's return.
"You are too naive, father, do you think there is room for relaxation between us and Sauron?" Turing Duo said sharply: "Today on the Tianlang Pass battlefield, Jian Ze has already demonstrated to us that as long as we make a desperate move, we can kill hundreds of thousands of people.
With armies constantly attacking the city and using human lives to pile up the defenses, Fenglei Castle's defenses will be broken, and we have at least an 80% chance of winning!"
"That's right, if we make a desperate move and use human lives to pile up, we do have a 70% to 80% probability of winning." Duke Turingto said: "Then what? How many people are we going to die?"
"Who cares?" Turing Duo said: "It's not us who die anyway, so what are those soldiers worth? If they die, they will die."
Turing Tuo said angrily: "Idiot, those soldiers are the foundation for the survival of our Turing family. Today, the Southwest Army has 60,000 casualties. If we follow Ji Li and make a desperate move, our Dragon Guard Army will have at least ten or two hundred thousand casualties. By then, we will
How much of the army is left in the hands of the Turing family? After Li Li ascended the throne, when he tried to attack me, what could I do to resist him? Without the army, I am nothing! Chu Ye of the Northern Army has already
He led his army back to Nanlin Fort, and he knew how to keep the army in his hands. Once all the troops in my hands are dead, Chu Ye will turn into a tiger and eat me, and take my place."
Turing Duo said: "Then we can't be loyal to Sauron. It's completely like seeking the skin of a tiger. With his unyielding temper, how can we survive?"
Duke Turingduo said: "You are wrong. Our allegiance is to Princess Yanyan, not Sauron."
Turing Duo said: "The male and female are one body."
"No, they are not one body." Duke Turing Tuo said: "In the past, Princess Yanyan was helpless, so she and Sauron were one body. But she is about to ascend the throne, and the two are no longer one body. On the contrary, Sauron is one body.
Lun is too powerful, so Princess Yan needs someone to check and balance her, and the best candidate is me!"
Turing Duo said: "Women are different from men. Once they fall in love, they will give everything they have. She will definitely let Sauron do whatever he wants. Once we take refuge in Xi Yan, we will definitely be killed by Sauron."
Duke Turingto said: "You are also emotional. Have you given everything?"
"I am different from other women, I am more ruthless." Turing Duo said.
Duke Turingduo smiled and said: "Believe me, Princess Yanyan is more heartless than you, she is a heartless person!"
…
Inside Wind Thunder Castle!
Princess Yanyan looked at Tu Lingchen and said, "Your father wants to be loyal to me?"
"Yes!" Tu Lingchen said: "In order to preserve the vitality of the Nulang Kingdom, my father is willing to break the tradition, be loyal to His Highness Xi Yan, and support you to ascend to the position of queen!"
Tu Lingchen only looked at Xi Yan alone, without looking at Sauron.
Just as his father Turing Tuo said, they want to be loyal to Yanyan and have nothing to do with Sauron.
After Sauron smelled this smell, his eyes immediately turned cold, and he became silent. He took a few steps back and watched coldly.
"What are the conditions?" Princess Yanyan asked.
Tu Lingchen said: "My father is still the first marshal of the headquarters and has taken charge of the Dragon Guard Corps, while I am serving in the Southwest Corps."
What a huge appetite. Of the four major legions in the kingdom, the Turing family wants to take away two. The remaining northern legion will be given to Chu Ye, and the southeastern legion will belong to Sauron.
Even before Xie Li died, he could not wait to share the cake.
"What else?" Princess Yanyan asked.
Tu Lingchen said: "His Royal Highness Ji Li once promised on behalf of the royal family that he would ennoble my late grandfather as a prince."
Conferred the title of king with a different surname!
Turing Tuo not only has to control two legions, but also wants to be crowned king with a different surname!
Because after Xi Yan ascends the throne, Sauron will definitely become the king's husband and regent. And Turing Tuo has also been promoted to the title of king, which will make him more able to compete with Sauron.
"What else?" asked Yan Yan.
Turing Chen said: "My Turing family is willing to marry the Suo family, so I want to marry Miss Suo Ningbing!"
That's too much!
Sauron was instantly furious!
