The million-strong army was almost completely destroyed.
Such news was spread back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was shocked by it. All the officials in the government and the public were dumbfounded and fell into silence.
"How can it be?"
"How could the Dawei Dynasty be so powerful, with a million-strong army? This is not just 10,000 people, but a full million."
"I didn't tell you before that I heard that our Dazhou army, led by Lord Pingchuan King, has already captured the two states of Dawei. Will it be possible for them to even enter the Imperial City of Dawei in the near future? How come it's like this all of a sudden?
?”
"It is said that even His Majesty King Pingchuan died. Lord Pingchuan King is our military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the powerful King of Wu. How could he fall so easily?"
The crowd was shocked, and the entire Zhou Dynasty was stunned. Countless people who got the news were dumbfounded and almost stunned.
A few days ago, good news came one after another. They had also heard the news that Dawei and Dazhou were using force on the border, but they could not have imagined how long it had taken. The entire army of Dazhou was completely destroyed, and it was the Dawei dynasty that
, the army is approaching.
For a time, people were panicked and everyone was terrified.
The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Royal Palace!
"boom!"
Smashing the Nine-Dragon Jade Staff in his hand to the ground, Emperor Zhou Tianxun became furious and stared at the many ministers in the court with angry expressions.
"A million-strong army, a mighty million-strong army, was completely wiped out in one fell swoop. Only tens of thousands of people escaped alive. Even Zhou Zun died in Dawei territory. Who can tell me? What is going on?"
Zhou Tianxun looked down coldly, his whole body shaking with anger, and he almost couldn't breathe.
Below, many ministers were silent, no one dared to speak, and everyone was in disbelief.
The development of the situation was far beyond their expectations and beyond their imagination.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious, the dragon body is important."
The old eunuch beside Zhou Tianxun stepped forward anxiously and said worriedly.
"Dragon body? Now that I, Da Zhou, am about to die, how can I return my dragon body?" Zhou Tianxun stood up from the dragon chair and walked angrily in front of everyone, "Didn't you all say that my family, Da Zhou, and Da Wei's family should cooperate with each other?
Under such circumstances, is it easy to destroy Dawei? Why are all of them silent now?"
Zhou Tianxun was so anxious that his mouth was almost filled with fire.
Now that the border is in urgent need of help, Zhou Tianxun is almost going crazy.
The only good thing is that after the Dawei army destroyed the Dazhou army, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue it, but gathered at the border, giving Zhou Tianxun some breathing space.
"Your Majesty, could it be that the Leng family deliberately framed me, Da Zhou, deceived me, Da Zhou, and deliberately set a trap, which led to my Da Zhou's defeat?"
Some old ministers doubted it.
"Leng family?" Zhou Tianxun snorted coldly, with an ugly face and cold eyes: "There is no Leng family in the great power. Not only the Leng family, but also the Wu family, the Wuji Sect, and the Guiyuan Sect have all been exhausted.
They were all destroyed by that old man Liu Xuanrui."
"Your Majesty, is this information accurate?"
The ministers of Zhou Dynasty were all shocked and looked at each other in disbelief.
The Leng family, the Wu family, the Wuji sect, and the Guiyuan sect were the top forces of the Dawei dynasty, equivalent to the three major sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the Great Zhou Dynasty took action and immediately sent troops.
However, they did not expect that the Leng family and other four major forces would be destroyed by the Dawei royal family within half a month. This made all the ministers of Dazhou unbelievable.
To be able to become one of the four great forces, one needs at least a Martial King-level master to be in charge. How could such forces be destroyed so easily?
"The news is naturally true."
Zhou Tianxun's face was livid. He did not expect that the Leng family who encouraged them to send troops would be destroyed so quickly. If he had known this, he would never have sent troops in such a hasty and unprepared manner.
What frightened him even more was that he sent people to inquire about the destruction of the Leng family and others, but could not find any specific information, which made him extremely uneasy.
"Immediately send someone to notify the three major factions. At this time, I need the full support of the three major factions."
"At the same time, the various states are recruiting troops and heading to the border. They must not allow the Dawei Dynasty's army to invade our territory in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Also, inform the Chen Dynasty immediately. I, Da Zhou, want to discuss important matters with Chen."
"Finally, we must find out how the Leng family and other four major forces were destroyed. I heard that Dawei's army has received amazing improvements in weapons and equipment. Why is it suddenly so scary?"
Looking at the many ministers below, Zhou Tianxun's face turned pale and he said in a cold voice.
As a hero, it must be said that Zhou Tianxun reacted very quickly. Under his order, the soldiers of Great Zhou quickly gathered at the border. At the same time, the three major factions also sent top experts to the borders of both sides.
At the same time, Dazhou spies quickly entered Dawei territory, preparing to find out the inside story of Dawei.
In just a few days, Dazhou once again assembled a million troops and quickly assembled at the border, preparing to resist Dawei's attack.
And on the second day after the Zhou army had just assembled.
Dawei's army, which was guarding the border of Dazhou and had never taken any action, suddenly moved out.
Taking advantage of the moment before the Zhou army could react, they quickly attacked.
The armies of the Zhou Dynasty had been mobilized from various states and had traveled long distances. They were exhausted. Now, under a sudden attack, they were no match for the powerful army that was ready for attack and had been preparing for a long time.
The once again assembled army of one million people did not last even a day and instantly collapsed. Dawei defeated more than a dozen border fortresses and cities in a row.
For a time, blood flowed into rivers and corpses piled up like mountains.
As a result, the Zhou Dynasty faction, which arrived in time, had no chance to take action and had no choice but to retreat with the Zhou army.
Although the three major sects of the Great Zhou are sects within the territory of the Great Zhou, after all, they are only dependent on the Great Zhou, not the lackeys of the Great Zhou, just like the original Leng family, Wuji Sect and other forces.
They were naturally very happy to let them eat meat and drink soup with Da Zhou, but they would not agree to it if they were asked to sacrifice their disciples for Da Zhou.
"Haha, after this battle, the vitality of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be greatly damaged. In a short period of time, I am afraid that we will no longer be able to gather many troops."
Standing at the head of the Great Zhou Fortress, Liu Tai looked at the hastily retreating Great Zhou army in the distance and said with a faint smile.
In fact, after Dawei defeated Da Zhou's million-strong army at the beginning, he had enough ability to invade Da Zhou.
However, Liu Tai did not act rashly, but allowed Dawei's army to rest where they were and recharge their batteries.
They waited for Zhou to take action and mobilized new troops from various states. They had just arrived on the battlefield and had not yet established a firm foothold. Then they attacked forcefully and instantly defeated the opponent's million-strong army that had gathered again, causing heavy casualties.
After this battle, if the Zhou Dynasty wanted to gather enough troops again in a short period of time, it would probably be more than ten times more difficult than before.
There are no longer enough living troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
