The 70,000-strong army broke into pieces and quietly entered the Liang Kingdom. It was foreseeable that a bloody storm would break out in the country...

But during this period, the war was still going on.

Cangqiu Plain is the place where the border between Dakang Yuan Prefecture and Liang Guo’s Liaoyuan Province intersects.

On the long border between Dakang and Liang, there was only such a plain, so it became the main battlefield.

The battle line was long, spanning the east and west plains, starting from the foot of the Yunrui Mountains in the west to the border of Liang and Wei in the east, and required horse racing to convey war orders.

The Cangqiu Plain accounts for half of each country's territory, and they are at war with each other on the central dividing line of the boundary monument.

Looking down from a high altitude, you can see that there are dark military camps on both sides. Looking closer, you can see that the originally flat land near Dakang is in a mess.

Densely crisscrossed ravines like centipedes extend from the westernmost to the easternmost, with abrupt ramparts scattered irregularly, and sections of earthen city walls of varying heights can also be seen.

These are all defensive fortifications built by Dakang, and it was these that blocked Liang Jun's attack.

The war broke out in early November, and now it is mid-February. The war has lasted for nearly three months.

The passage of time does not allow the war to ease, but instead becomes more intense...

To the south of the Cangqiu Plain and to the east of the Yunrui Mountains lies the territory of the Liang Kingdom, where the Liang Army’s military camp is located.

The camps were so dense that it was difficult to count them one after another.

With such a huge force, the size of the camp is naturally extremely large.

Although there are many, it is not chaotic, but seems to have a sense of order.

The tents are arranged neatly, and their styles and sizes are uniform. The entire camp is in the shape of a huge circle, going around in a circle, and the commander's camp is in the middle.

This is the core of Liang Jun.

Commanding such a large army is not an easy task. The first thing to do is not to cause chaos on your own side.

All battle orders come from this point.

The commander's camp is different from other camps in that it is quite large and is overshadowed by the stars of the surrounding camps.

The most eye-catching thing is not the big tent, but a coffin located on one side of the big tent!

This was brought by Yang Shihou, the commander-in-chief of the Liang Army, on his expedition.

Since ancient times, carrying a coffin into battle has been a sign of determination, not fearing life and death, leaving no escape route, and just entering the coffin when you die. This is a sign of determination to die!

It is precisely because Yang Shihou's move inspired the morale of Liang Jun's soldiers that Liang Jun can still maintain morale today.

It hurts to fail in the first general attack.

Liang Jun dispatched 700,000 troops, but failed to achieve the desired results. Instead, he suffered huge losses. Later, he relied on his superior strength to attack, but still failed to achieve his goal.

When one's own side has a military advantage and cannot attack for a long time, morale will inevitably be low.

But Liang Jun's morale is still maintained because Yang Shihou is in charge!

Faced with this situation, Liang Jun's commander-in-chief Yang Shihou did not take action. Instead, he calmly changed his strategy and changed the strong attack into a slow attack. This was to use the superiority of troops to fight a war of attrition and gradually restore morale.

Now, the morale of Liang Jun is rising again, because the imperial court will increase its troops by another half a million!

If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant, not to mention that Liang Jun is an elephant.

They have the capital to be proud. Among the Three Kingdoms, only Liang Guo has such a strong national power and directly dispatches millions of troops!

The disparity between the two sides is too great.

Liang Jun's self-confidence was soaring, and he felt that victory was easy...

The atmosphere in the camp was warm, sweeping away the decline of the previous period!

Zhu Zhen, the third prince of the Liang Kingdom, said loudly: "The additional troops sent by the imperial court have arrived one after another. Our troops will soon reach one million after the losses before."

He paused deliberately as he spoke.

"Why does this feel a bit too bullying?"

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this, many generals in the camp laughed.

Everyone has this feeling, it's like an adult fighting with a child, the difference is not the slightest.

"A mayfly shakes a tree, a mantis' arm acts like a chariot, and one does not overestimate one's own capabilities."

After Zhu Zhen laughed, he said with a ferocious smile: "Dakang has angered my father, and he will pay a heavy price."

"I have an idea. When my Liang army is victorious, I will go to the Fengtian Hall of the Dakang Palace to severely humiliate Emperor Yuanwu!"

"At that time, Your Highness will let Emperor Yuanwu crawl under your crotch."

A general with eyes as big as copper bells and dark skin who looked quite fierce spoke.

"Let Emperor Yuanwu kowtow to the heroes of Liang Jun who died in battle!"

"I had a conversation with the enemy coach a few days ago, and I gave them a chance, but I didn't know how to cherish it. Emperor Yuanwu only replied, "If you want to fight, fight. How can there be so much nonsense? It's really disrespectful!"

"

"The mouth of a cooked duck is still tough. Now our government continues to increase its troops and has once again assembled a million-strong army. Emperor Yuanwu must be dumbfounded."

"Haha, he won't have a chance this time."

The generals of Liang Jun said one word after another, all with bad words and insults.

They all knew how humiliating the third prince was when he went to Daliang as an envoy, and in this war, it was even more of a slap in the face for the enemy to use all their heavy cavalry.

These people are full of hatred for Dakang and Guan Ning.

"What the generals said is absolutely true."

Zhu Zhen said and turned to Yang Shihou.

"Commander, should we change our strategy?"

Everyone's eyes focused on Yang Shihou, who was sitting on the main seat.

"It's time to change."

Yang Shihou said in a deep voice: "After the general attack failed, I changed my strategy to a slow attack that consumes a long time, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would send an additional 500,000 troops."

"Your Majesty's decree states that you can decide on your own whether to slow down the attack or to attack hard. Your Majesty trusts you. I feel inexplicable. As a minister, I should share your Majesty's worries. Although our army is one million strong, it consumes a lot of our national power. Now,

We have sufficient troops, so we should take advantage of our advantages, attack hard, win with overwhelming force, and end the war as soon as possible!"

The generals nodded.

They all know what the cost of using such a large force is?

The troops hoarded on the Wei-Liang border were mobilized here. In order to move with ease, they agreed to Wei's conditions, and even the troops guarding Bianjing were mobilized.

The most critical thing is logistical supplies. The daily consumption of such a huge army is a quite terrifying figure, and hundreds of thousands of civilians are needed to transport it.

The actual manpower invested has exceeded 1.5 million!

This kind of consumption is terrible!

Liang is a powerful country, but the protracted war will also put great pressure on them. They cannot exhaust their savings just because of this war.

Therefore, the war period must be shortened and greater results must be achieved to make up for the losses.

This is the reason why Yang Shihou has to change back to the original attack strategy.

His Majesty trusted him so much that instead of being held accountable for the failure of the general offensive, he continued to send additional troops to support him.

He must share His Majesty's worries.

And there is already a sense of urgency!

If he doesn't win, he can really lie in a coffin by himself.
