In the empire, Weiyuan is a special title, which means to show prestige outside the territory, and represents a great honor. The empire gave this title to Qianye, on the one hand, it has high hopes, hoping that he can reach higher levels and win Zhenyuan in the future.
Even the title of Dingyuan may be granted by the public.
The Marshal with the Staff is also half a level higher than the ordinary Marshal, and can control other Marshals on the joint battlefield. It is necessary to grant the Marshal with the Staff, so that Qianye can live up to his name as the commander-in-chief in the Black Sun Valley. Without this level of authority, it is necessary to
Commanding a large number of marshals is always troublesome.
One is glory, the other is real power. They cooperate with each other, showing the empire's great sincerity. In the Black Sun Valley, Qianye wants to take over all authority.
However, if you look at it from another angle, it also means that the empire has reached the end of its rope and there is no one left to send, so it puts all its glimmer of hope on Qianye, even deliberately forgetting his identity as a vampire.
.
The investiture ceremony was short and grand. Although no marshal except Zhao Xuanji was present, this was done deliberately to avoid embarrassment. After all, the previous relationship between the military and Qianye could not be described as unpleasant. It was almost
It develops into a deadly feud.
At the end of the ceremony, a general with authority stayed behind to make the final handover with Qianye.
"How many troops are there in the Black Sun Valley? Who are the commanders? Where is our stronghold? How often can we resupply? How much is the supply? How many troops does the enemy have and what is their distribution situation?"
Qianye asked a series of questions in one breath.
The generals hung up the battle maps and answered them one by one. When all the questions were answered, Qianye let out a sigh of relief. The situation was worse than he expected. The empire currently has less than 50,000 troops in the Black Sun Valley, and there are only a few
Supported by a limited-scale secret stronghold. In comparison, Yongye has nearly half a million troops.
After Song Zining was seriously injured and unable to survive, the empire suffered successive defeats on the battlefield, and the casualties increased sharply, far exceeding those of Yong Ye. It was only then that the empire truly realized how remarkable the one to four casualties that Song Zining and Zhao Jundu had fought in the era.
The defeat on the ground was also affected in the air. The Empire's transport fleet suffered heavy losses in succession, and its transportation capacity was significantly reduced. Although Yong Ye did not take advantage in the air battle, the one-to-one exchange was something the Empire could never afford.
In this situation, no one in the empire dares to take over, and no one is willing to take over. Those who can take over, the empire will never let them go into battle. This is the reason why Zhao Xuanji appears in the military department.
After all, the new world is just unknown. Even if everyone understands that if it is taken by the dark race, it will definitely be detrimental to the future of the human race, but no one can tell how long that time will be. And once the empire's local force at the edge of the town is shaken, it will immediately be tens of millions.
The people were slaughtered and returned to their former status as human flesh.
An officer held up the calendar and said, "Sir, would you like to choose a suitable day to take office?"
Qianye pushed the calendar away and said: "There is no need to choose. Arrange the aerospace ship immediately. I will go to the Black Sun Valley now."
"Yes, sir!"
After a while, a floating ship took off into the sky and sailed towards the gate of the new world.
It wasn't until he stood in the Black Sun Valley and joined the imperial troops that Qianye realized how desperate this army had become.
The remaining troops of the empire are stationed in a secret base. The so-called secret base is actually a more secretive valley surrounded by caves, which can accommodate troops to hide.
When Qianye's aerostat arrived, the soldiers were neither excited nor curious. Some were sitting together chatting, while most were lying or sitting with numb faces and no interest in anything.
Those who came to greet him were only a few low-level officers, and the three divine generals who were still in the army were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are Wen Yuan Gong, Ming Haigong and Liu Shuai?" Qianye recalled several unfamiliar names.
"The three adults are tired from fighting for a long time and are all injured. They are resting at the moment. Master Qianye came unexpectedly and was unable to greet you. Please forgive me."
"Take me to them."
Several officers led the way and took Qianye to a cave. The three god generals each took a corner and were meditating and resting. When they saw Qianye arriving, they initially just raised their eyelids, but later they recognized the military attaché behind them.
Then he reluctantly got up.
Qianye looked at the environment. This cave was only slightly larger and cleaner. The furnishings inside were extremely simple. The three generals only had a camp bed, and they were in extreme embarrassment.
The general who accompanied Qianye announced the edict and then briefly introduced Qianye. From this moment on, Qianye became the supreme commander of this army and the head of the empire in the entire new world.
While the military generals were still there, Qianye immediately summoned the generals in the army to start the first combat meeting.
"Why are there only so few people?" This was the first question Qianye asked.
Duke Minghai was already old and had gray hair. He stroked his beard and replied: "Master Qianye doesn't know something. It's not that the empire's support is insufficient, but that we don't need too many soldiers. Right now, these are already too many.
It is very difficult to move or hide. It was difficult for us to escape the pursuit of the dark race and find this place. But it is difficult to say how long this place can sustain."
Wen Yuangong also said: "The previous commander only took office for seven days. He lost five battles in a row and lost 30,000 troops. He was also seriously injured and returned to the empire for treatment. We are just maintaining the situation here. I personally think that we can save these
Warriors and bases are pretty good.”
Qianye glanced at the military general, who spread his hands to show his helplessness.
Qianye suddenly understood that the three people in front of him were either out of power and out of favor, or they were in their twilight years like Ming Haigong, risking their lives to gain a military career for their family. In short, they were all marginal figures, and no one cared about their life or death.
The former commander could return to his country for treatment if he was seriously injured, but they could not. Either they were injured to the point of damaging their foundation, or they died in the Black Sun Valley. There was no other choice.
In this way, even if they come to fill this hole voluntarily, it is strange that their morale and morale are high.
Qianye glanced at the three of them, looking carefully this time, while recalling their information.
Mr. Minghai's surname was Zhou. He came from a low-ranking family. He was a rare genius in his family and successfully broke into the realm of divine general. However, when he was young, he had insufficient resources and a weak foundation. His promotion to the rank of divine general was already at his limit.
He has worked hard for many years in order to turn his family into a high-class family. However, he is far from Lin Xitang's extraordinary talent. After half a lifetime of hard work, he has only made his family the leader in a low-class family.
This time he took a risk before dying just to accumulate merit so that his family could consolidate its current position.
Even with Lin Xitang's ability and the honor of the emperor's master, once he dies, no one in the family can take the lead, and there are signs of instability in the fiefdom, let alone Ming Haigong. Even if there is no one to oppose him, the descendants of the family will have to
Only if you show solid military exploits.
Some people will be jealous of their peers for the shelter they received from their ancestors, while others will not resent the sacrifice of their ancestors and instead put their descendants in trouble. A gentleman's fortune will be cut off in a few generations, but this number of generations is not so easy to define. No national policy can exhaust fairness.
Wen Yuan Gong and Chen Tongqi are another type of story. He used to be a confidant of the Chang Sheng King, and he also participated in the Chang Sheng King's conspiracy. According to the law, he was punished by the Manchus. However, as a divine general, Wen Yuan Gong was allowed to perform meritorious service for his crimes.
As long as you perform enough meritorious deeds, you can avoid family troubles.
Liu Chengyun is a retired marshal, and his situation is similar to Ming Haigong. Both of them fought hard for their family in their later years.
These three people are all low-ranking divine generals. In Qianye's opinion, they have weak auras and are not worthy opponents. But after all, they are all divine generals and can be considered quite capable assistants.
Qianye carefully asked about the specialties and abilities of the three people, and he had a rough idea. Just as he was about to discuss the next strategy, an officer suddenly rushed over and shouted: "There are traces of dark races in the distance!"
Wen Yuan Gong stood up and said in a voiceless voice: "You came so fast?"
Qianye stood up calmly and said, "It's okay to come and have a look."
The empire had only built simple defenses outside the valley base, which was better than nothing. At this moment, it was too late to build more fortifications, and there was not enough supplies. In the repeated retreats and escapes, bulky supplies such as mobile fortifications had long been abandoned.
There were only tens of thousands of dark warriors chasing after them, but the three generals all had solemn expressions on their faces, hinting at the intention of retreating.
Qianye glanced left and right and said calmly: "There are not many people on the other side, so we can definitely fight."
Liu Chengyun, who had been in the army for a long time, said at this time: "Sir, you don't know something. This kind of mobile army with about ten thousand people may not seem to be much, but it is actually the most elite. The strong ones inside are doubled, and they are all made up of
The Marquis of Glory leads the army. Once you are entangled by them, within half a day, multiple troops will arrive from all directions. So the best way is to avoid them."
Qianye thought thoughtfully and said, "Isn't this a strategy Zi Ning has used before?"
"This... seems so." Liu Chengyun said.
That day, Song Zining also had multiple troops scattered outside, controlled from afar. If the dark race accidentally divided their troops, they would be annihilated by the suddenly assembled troops. But now, Yong Ye used this method on the empire and had to
It's very ironic.
The difference between one and the other is actually in the skill of Tianji. Song Zining relied on the skill of Tianji and could predict the enemy's plans first, which was why he achieved brilliant results in the early stage.
After Ye Tong counterattacked from the air and severely injured Song Zining, although she did not have the advantage of Tianjishu, she had enough troops and a large number of strong men. As long as she kept looking for the main force of the emperor to fight decisively, the empire would swallow the bitter pill again and again. In terms of consumption,
, in fact, the empire is the one that cannot afford to lose.
Looking at the dark army rushing in from the distance, Qianye said: "Sound the horn! The whole army attacks!"
"What?" The three god generals could hardly believe their ears.
"The whole army attacks! Why, did the three of you not hear clearly, or do you want to disobey the military order?"
At this moment, the military general has not left yet, and is watching from the side. Liu, Zhou, and Chen are all marginal figures in the empire. Naturally, they dare not openly disobey orders, let alone be timid in front of a junior. They will all suffer in the future.
With a straight face, he went back to mobilize his troops and advance to attack.
After a while, the two armies were not far apart and entered the range of fire.
The Emperor's Army clearly had a numerical advantage, but the dark race troops on the opposite side were the first to attack. As the troops advanced step by step, the extended artillery fire also fell on the Emperor's Army's head.
The sporadic heavy artillery fire coverage actually caused some panic in the imperial army. In fact, most of the artillery shells were intercepted in mid-air, and the falling explosions were sparse. But many soldiers were not looking ahead;
Turn around and wait for the order to retreat.
Past experience tells them that once they get entangled with the enemy in front of them, they will be in danger. However, in recent battles, fleeing at the first touch seems to have become a combat mode.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Qianye stood still and said: "Where are our heavy artillery? Why haven't we fired yet?"
Once the heavy artillery is deployed, it cannot be put away easily. The three god generals around Qianye looked at each other and knew that he had made up his mind to fight the dark race here.
