Haotian frowned and said: "How come the soldiers of the Holy Bliss Religion were replenished so quickly? You said that they raised an army of 300,000 at the beginning, and then five legions totaling 500,000. Later, they added more soldiers one after another.
Three hundred thousand, right? When they started the uprising, the total population of Yangzhou Road had dropped from 15 million at its peak to less than 9 million. How did they do it?"
Luo Xiang smiled and said: "The Holy Sect of Paradise has come to an end. Among the soldiers added by Zhu Zhao this time, there have been many soldiers who are fifty years old or younger than sixteen years old. This shows that their soldiers have begun to
Exhausted. From now on, their combat effectiveness will inevitably become lower and lower, and there will be fewer and fewer soldiers. This time the Holy Sect of Paradise comes out in full force, so it is a big gamble."
Haotian pondered for a while and said: "I didn't expect that it would be His Majesty who would personally cut off the rear. But this is fine. Since the morale of the three legions is unstable, having His Majesty personally take charge can at least stabilize the morale of the troops. Where is the Dragoon Legion now? An Yongchang
How could he be willing to take out his northern army to cut off his rear?"
"The Dragon Cavalry Legion is now the only mobile force of the empire. It is currently positioned at the junction of Xuzhou and Tiandu Shengjing. It can rush to rescue Li Tieming's Qinchuan army in the east, rescue Tiandu Shengjing in the west, and deter Ji Le in the south.
Holy Religion." Xuanji explained: "As for the Northern Army, this was proposed by An Yongchang himself. After all, in this battle, An Yongchang had already seen the weakness of the Northern Army's combat effectiveness. And his current wealth is all
He placed his trust in the empire. If the empire dies, An Yongchang will definitely not feel well."
Haotian always feels that something is wrong. Cassimbas is good at planning. He has been planning carefully for a year. It is impossible that he will fail in just two moves. His plan has always been one step after another, and now since
It has been fully launched, so the storm must be irreversible. But Qingfeng's current situation does not seem to be so bad, so what kind of trump card does he have?
What seemed to have been missed just now? Haotian thought deeply. The side of Jiangnan Third Road should not be the main battlefield now. All the troops of the Holy Bliss Sect have been withdrawn from Jiangnan Road, but now even Ouyang Jingzhong's Southern Military Region
They could not spare any extra troops to fill the vacancy left after the Holy Sect of Paradise withdrew its troops. Instead, the Jiaolong Legion wanted to extend their inspection scope to the Quanzhou section of Jiangnan Road to prevent Chu Yue from taking the opportunity to go north to Jiangnan Road to flank Dahu. Holy Sect of Paradise
The church regarded Jiangnan Road as a treasure, but now they actually gave up the rich Jiangnan Road and went north to Yuzhou Road. It is obvious that there are greater interests here. In other words, Cassimbas is ready to go all out to solve Qingfeng.
But now the troops of the Holy Sect of Paradise have been exhausted, and the Northeastern Allied Forces have all been blocked by the 200,000 troops led by the heroic emperor. Thinking of this, Haotian was suddenly startled. He sat up suddenly while he was half-lying.
The violent movement suddenly affected the wound, and he couldn't help but scream out.
Xin Jiao and Xue Qingcheng were immediately in a panic, while Haotian said loudly and nonchalantly: "Military advisor, sir, what is the Dongwa Navy doing now, and where are the 150,000 army troops they have hoarded in the Ningzhou area now?
"
The expressions of Luo Xiang and Xuanji also changed. They obviously understood what Haotian meant. The situation in the Empire of Heaven has changed so fast these days. Even the two of them are too busy. They are too concerned about the Holy Sect of Paradise and the Holy Sect.
The powerful offensive of the Northeastern Allied Forces actually ignored the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, which had been holding back.
Now He Huairen's navy has retreated to the Luozhou section of the great river, while the 200,000-strong army led by the heroic emperor is still sniping at Cassimbas' Northeastern coalition in the east of Luozhou, buying time for the army to retreat and for the empire to adjust its military deployment.
If the Eastern Japanese Navy suddenly marched westward along the river and landed suddenly at the junction of Xuzhou and Luozhou on the Yuzhou Road, and then carried 150,000 Eastern Japanese soldiers to suddenly land on the Yuzhou Road and cut off the retreat route of the Yinglie Emperor's army, then not only
It was the more than 200,000 troops led by the heroic emperor who became Weng Zhong's turtles, and even the 200,000 Qinchuan troops still in Ruzhou were probably in a worrying situation.
"Where are we now?" Haotian asked anxiously.
"We are about to enter Luozhou. At our current speed, we still have one day to go from Shanyin." Luo Xiang replied.
"No, we can't leave anymore!" After talking for so long, Haotian's spirit was obviously a little weak, and he took a breath and said: "Qingcheng, you immediately lead your 50,000 cavalry to the Huayuan Ferry in Xuzhou. This is the great river Yuzhou
The largest ferry in the river section. If the Japanese soldiers are really planning to attack in a roundabout way to outflank our army's retreat, they will definitely choose this place. Hurry up, take all our cavalry in the Hetao with you. No matter what the situation is, you can make a decision!
"
"Military advisor, you immediately send a letter to the blood commander and the independent commander on South Dian Road, asking them to go north as soon as possible. If Duke Jingnan cannot allocate troops to defend South Dian Road, then let them secretly transfer the territory of South Dian Road to
To the Song family."
Xuanji was shocked again, but he immediately understood what Haotian meant. If South Yunnan Road falls into the hands of Jinhua Mitsukoshi, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that even Dahu Road under the control of Ouyang Jingzhong will be cannibalized by Jinhua Mitsukoshi.
.However, the territory was handed over to the Song family. Although the Song family had broken away from the empire, they were still more or less subjects of the empire. If the South Yunnan Road fell into their hands, in order to resist the pressure of Jinhua and quell the rebellion of the five southern Yunnan tribes, they would inevitably
It will tie up a lot of energy of the Song family, and before the Southern Yunnan Road is consolidated, the Song family will definitely not plot the Great Lakes Road. In this way, it can buy some time for the empire. However, Haotian is currently drawing blood to kill the 100,000 elite troops.
What does it mean to go north?
"In addition, please immediately send an order to Hetao, asking Fengjing and Xinke to lead the elite forces of Hetao to the south as soon as possible and join our 150,000-strong army as soon as possible."
"Does the Lord want to have a decisive battle with the Bliss Alliance?" Luo Xiang said with a gloomy face as before.
Haotian shook his head: "It's not a decisive battle, but a precaution." After a long breath, Haotian said: "Cassimbas has been plotting for a whole year, and he will not let us retreat so easily. Your Majesty
The 200,000-strong army he leads has most likely been surrounded by the Paradise Alliance. Don't forget, His Majesty is still in this army."
Luo Xiang said disapprovingly: "Just be here. After all, hasn't Emperor Yinglie already selected the Assistant King as his successor? Even if he dies, it won't be a big deal."
Haotian smiled bitterly: "Sir, don't be blinded by hatred. This is what my father often said to me before he was alive. I also know that you have always been grudged because of what happened to your parents and you and Uncle Chu back then.
Yu Huai has always wanted to exterminate the Liu family, but now is really not the time, and not all of the Liu family should die. After all, His Majesty is the emperor of our Qingfeng Empire. It would be better if he died on the battlefield. But if Your Majesty is defeated,
If captured, the impact on the entire empire would be unparalleled."
Luo Xiang's face was filled with uncertainty. He raised his head, looked at Haotian's somewhat bitter face, and couldn't help but ask, "How did you know?"
Haotian replied: "Although half of the control of Soul Eater is in the hands of you and Uncle Chu, Guanying is my confidant who has been with me for many years after all. Besides, uncle, why did you forget that there is Qiu Mu beside me?"
Luo Xiang's eyes were still full of changes: "Qiu Mu? Did she say that to you?"
"It doesn't count. In order to better complete my biography, Qiu Mu mobilized a lot of top-secret information from the past. It was when I was in Qiu Mu's room a few days ago that I happened to see some relatively long history.
I asked why my mother died in childbirth since she was so skilled in martial arts. It turned out to be because she had been seriously injured that day." Haotian said with melancholy.
Luo Xiang's heart, which was already in his throat, finally dropped. It turned out that this was what Qiu Mu was talking about. At first, he thought Haotian knew everything, but now it seems that at least Qiu Mu is still trustworthy.
, did not reveal the most important part. If that is really the case, even if Yuzhou Road is already raging with war, Luo Xiang will not bother to do anything to destroy the family first. Although this matter is also a secret, it will happen sooner or later.
Haotian would know about it. But I didn't expect that Haotian could keep this matter deep in his heart. It seems that Haotian's thoughts are deeper. Thinking of this, Luo Xiang couldn't help but smile with relief.
Haotian brought back the topic and said: "In the hearts of the people of China, Your Majesty is the pillar of the entire empire. If His Majesty is really captured, the people's morale will inevitably collapse and the military's morale will become even more unstable."
Xuanji narrowed his eyes and said: "The most serious situation is that His Majesty is defeated and captured, and..."
The three people in Haotian all nodded. If that is really the case, the empire will inevitably be divided. Moreover, the Auxiliary King is a little less courageous than the Heroic Emperor. If it is really the Auxiliary King who is in charge,
So let’s not talk about what the relationship between Hetao and the Auxiliary King will become. Even the Auxiliary King’s attitude towards the Bliss Alliance may not be as resolute as the Yinglie Emperor.
Compared with the auxiliary king, Haotian is more worried about the current war situation. The Northeastern Allied Forces plus the Eastern Japanese Army are close to 500,000. With just these 500,000 elite troops, Qingfeng has already found it extremely difficult to deal with. Now in
Coupled with the 500,000 soldiers of the Holy Sect of Paradise, I am afraid that the situation in China will really change now.
"Where exactly is the Li family's army now?" Haotian asked.
"Li Tieming was leading the Qinchuan soldiers to move towards the Holy Capital of Tiandu. However, Cheng Xianqing and Bing Heng's 200,000 troops were chasing them too closely. His subordinates believed that the Li family was retreating westward to Dahui County in Qiuzhou.
At some point, we will definitely stop our troops here and act as horns with Tiandu Shengjing to resist the pressure of the Holy Sect of Bliss." Xuanji said cautiously. Dahui County is located in the east of Qiuzhou and is home to Qiuzhou, Ruzhou and Tiandu Shengjing.
The border area between Beijing and Beijing. This has always been the gateway to the east of Tiandu Holy Capital, so although it is only a county town, it has the level of a military fortress. The Li family's troops stationed here can at least block the footsteps of Cheng Xianqing's 200,000 troops.
