In this battle, Zhang Han did not hesitate to provide support. The defenders of each city were sacked and killed by Zhang Han first. When the enemy was in chaos, he used domineering organs to suppress fire, and finally the cavalry regiment charged into the city. , Reap the endgame.
Zhang Han really showed to the world what is meant by the power of King Wu.
If he wanted to, he could even easily break a city on his own. Fortunately, in order to hone the military's combat power, he did not do so.
...
"Report..."
In the palace hall of the Canopy Kingdom, the Emperor Qiu Chao was discussing urgently with two ministers, and the sergeant's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, the border emergency report, the great general Li Cunxiao of the Fire Lin Legion of the Great Zhou Kingdom has entered the territory of the Canopy Kingdom with 200,000 troops, ready to attack my Canopy Kingdom! Youyun County is currently in great danger!"
"what?"
The emperor Qiutongbai, the prime minister Zhong Wanda, and the general Ye Tianyuan in the hall were all shocked!
They actually knew that the war between the Canopy Kingdom and the Great Zhou Empire had just ended, and the Canopy Kingdom that ended in a disastrous defeat would definitely be avenged by the Great Zhou, so they would gather here to discuss countermeasures.
It's just that they didn't expect that Da Zhou would take the initiative to call the door, which is really arrogant.
"Let him in!" Qiu Tongbai shouted to the guards outside the hall.
He was a little panicked. As an emperor who had just taken over power, the government was not stable, and a large army would attack him.
At this time, he was really a little flustered.
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Qiu Tongbai a little flustered, the old prime minister Zhong Wanda called out to remind him.
Qiu Tongbai also realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and pressed his panic heart down.
He is the emperor of the Canopy Kingdom, and if he is flustered, it would be too shameful.
"call!"
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Tongbai immediately felt that he was much better. He looked at Zhong Wanda and smiled flatly: "Old Prime Minister Zhong, I'm fine!"
Zhong Wanda nodded, but when he was actually contemptuous in his heart, he knew that Qiu Tongbai was just pretending to be calm now, but he was actually flustered.
The sergeant outside the hall quickly ran in, his face was sweating, and he knelt on the ground.
"You tell me, what is going on in Youyun County?" Qiu Tongbai asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Princess of Youyun County went out to check the border two days ago. He accidentally discovered that the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou Empire had already arrived under Youyun County. The 20,000 guards of Youyun County did not retreat. The fighting power of Zhou's army is really too strong. In one day, not only the county city lost its hand, but other towns in the county were also occupied one after another. The county lord, the lord he...uuuu..."
Said that the sergeant cried bitterly.
Qiu Tongbai's face was ugly, and he didn't expect things to be worse than he thought, but he still said in a deep voice, "Why cry? My canopy kingdom hasn't died yet. Continue, what happened?"
"Your Majesty, the princess has been sacked and killed by an enemy general, he...he...uuuu..."
The sergeant cried again as he spoke.
Princess Youyun is dead!
Qiu Tongbai took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.
He was not angry at the dead princess, but was shocked by Da Zhou's unstoppable offensive, and shuddered at the power of General Da Zhou.
The princess of Youyun County, one of the few Wuhou state princesses in the Tianpeng Kingdom, is extremely powerful.
In addition, Youyun County was originally a border county, and the soldiers in the county were extremely powerful, but even so, they still did not block the Great Zhou Army, not even a day.
"Your Majesty, please send troops quickly to rescue the people of Youyun County!" The sergeant knelt to the ground, crying loudly.
"I know that I will send troops to rescue Youyun County immediately. Go down first and be patient!"
For Qiu Tongbai, the life and death of the people of Youyun County is not important at all. What he cares about is that the loss of Youyun County will threaten the safety of the capital, because Youyun County is the most important barrier of the Canopy Kingdom.
After asking the **** to take the sergeant away, Qiu Tongbai stared at Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan, and said in a deep voice, "You tell me, what should I do about this matter?"
"I don't need to listen to your nonsense, I just want to hear how to get Da Zhou to retreat at all costs."
For Qiu Tongbai, the throne is more than everything!
The reputation of the land may not be lost, but the throne and glory and wealth that belong to him must not be lost.
Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan looked at each other, and both saw a wry smile in each other's eyes.
They naturally heard Qiu Tongbai's subtext, it is really unfortunate for the country to have such an emperor.
After a slight indulgence, Zhong Wanda took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, this new emperor of Da Zhou is an ambitious man, plus our army has just lost 400,000 people. It is absolutely impossible for the other party to negotiate a peace."
"Therefore, we must be prepared to face the enemy head-on. At present, the total number of troops in the vicinity of the imperial capital is less than 200,000, and the combat power is only about 100,000. In this case, we must plan well. Just a moment!"
"If the number is not enough, the ordinary people will be recruited to defend the city, and then the garrisons will be dispatched to the king. In short, the emperor must guard it!" Qiu Tongbai sternly said
"This……"
Recruiting the people into soldiers is an act that will lose the hearts of the people. You can see the fierce expression on Qiu Tongbai's face. It is obvious that his decision has been made. What else can they say?
"Your Majesty, the recruitment of troops is one aspect, and we must also formulate a combat plan. Only in this way can we achieve a hundred battles!" Ye Tianyuan said respectfully.
"You said!"
"Now, our first priority must be to figure out how many troops will be sent by the Great Zhou Empire this time. This is very important!" Ye Tianyuan said solemnly.
"Go down and solve this matter, I will give you three days!" Qiu Tongbai ordered.
"Yes, within three days, the minister will find out!"
Ye Tianyuan continued: "In addition, we must also stock up sufficient food and grass to prevent a food shortage crisis in the city when the imperial capital is really besieged."
Qiu Tongbai raised his head and stared at Zhong Wanda, and said, "No matter what method you use, I want you to make sure that there is no problem with the imperial capital. Can you do it?"
Seeing the cold light in Qiu Tongbai's eyes, Zhong Wanda said helplessly: "Chen Neng!"
"it is good!"
Qiu Tongbai looked at Ye Tianyuan again and said, "The food and grass problem has been solved, what are the problems?"
Ye Tianyuan shook his head, but Zhong Wanda said: "Your Majesty, for such a big matter, we still have to look at the opinions of the ministers!"
Qiu Tongbai frowned slightly, but still said: "Notify the minister, within half an hour, go up!"
"Yes!"
Half an hour later, in the Jinluan Temple, the minister arrived.
They looked at Qiutongbai sitting on the dragon chair with strange faces. They didn't understand how long the next dynasty was today, why is it suddenly going up again?
Qiu Tongbai looked at the ministers below and said with a sullen face: "Half an hour ago, I received the news that the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou were already on the border. Ministers, tell me your opinion!"
