"Report, Your Majesty, General Xiao Hanqing died in battle! Our army has been defeated and retreated to Changlin Street!" A panicked voice came, causing many courtiers to panic.
"Changlin Street!"
"These enemy troops have actually reached Changlin Street!" Many civil and military ministers began to whisper.
"General Xiao died in battle!" Many ministers said in shock. At the same time, they were even more worried about the outcome of the next battle.
When such a great general as Xiao Hanqing died in battle, one can imagine the impact it had on the morale of the defenders in the city.
I don't know how many ministers lamented that among the ranks of Dongyi's top generals, Li Jianyuan and Xiao Hanqing had already fallen into the hands of this enemy army.
Dongyi has not suffered losses of this level for decades or nearly a hundred years. Not to mention facing the mere 20,000 Zhendong Army, even on the main frontal battlefield with the Zhendong Army, there were already many of them
I haven't had this kind of loss in years.
Two of the top generals were killed in battle. This has not happened in Dongyi for a long time!
"Your Majesty, please move away for now!" A white-haired old minister lamented in a long voice.
Changlin Street is not far from the palace. Once the enemy forces really break into the palace, and if there is a problem even with Yeludesi, where will the whole Dongyi be?
With only 20,000 people, Dongyi never thought that such a result would be produced today. Even if 20,000 people defeated Yunhaishi, and even later attacked Zhulong Mansion, Dongyi never thought that just
Just 20,000 people can cause fundamental damage to Dongyi.
After all, compared to the entire Dongyi, a mere 20,000 people is indeed very small.
Later, with the defeat of Li Jianyuan's 80,000 troops, although Dongyi at that time had completely paid attention to the 20,000 people, they would not have thought that less than 20,000 people in this area could really attack them.
In the capital of the country, even Yeludesi himself felt a deep threat at this time.
If this enemy army really breaks into the palace, if Yeludesi really falls into the hands of the enemy, it will definitely be a big blow to Dongyi that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
This will be a shame that Dongyi will never be able to wash away.
If the head of a country falls into the hands of the enemy, then Dongyi will inevitably go through some turmoil. In fact, if one thing is not done well, it may even fall into civil strife.
Therefore, when they learned that the enemy had already reached Changlin Street, everyone thought of asking Yeludesi to temporarily move away to avoid the enemy's attack.
"Thieves who are causing harm to the country, don't talk nonsense. If your Majesty retreats, the morale of the army will be depleted. But if your Majesty sits here like the magic needle of Zhenhai, the morale of the army will be certain, and the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy!" This is the voice of another faction in the court.
After all, if Yeludesi, the king of Dongyi, ran away on his own initiative, then why would he ask his soldiers to fight to the death to kill the enemy? In fact, if the soldiers below knew the news, their military morale would definitely be lost. By then,
, it is a foregone conclusion that the country’s capital will fall into the hands of the enemy.
This ending is also unacceptable to Dongyi.
Between these two factions, it is impossible to say who is absolutely right and who is absolutely wrong. The world has never been black or white, right or wrong. Between these two factions, each has its own
Everyone has their own starting point, but the final choice is different!
Among them, there were also some ministers who were most agitated, saying that as the king, Yeludesi should go to the battlefield in person at this time to boost the morale of the entire army.
Of course, this is true, but except for such a small group of close courtiers, the rest of the plan would not dare to take such a risky approach!
New battle situations are coming every moment. From the battle situations they have received so far, these Dongyi civil and military personnel already know that the enemy has three god-level warriors and three celestial-level masters, and there are several more.
A marksman with no false starts.
Under this situation, although Yeludesi, as the king of Dongyi, went to the battlefield in person, it would definitely greatly boost the morale of the entire army, and it would definitely be of great benefit to the development of the war situation.
However, the danger contained in this is also real. Once Yeludesi, the king of Dongyi, does have any problems on the battlefield, it will most likely have a counterproductive effect on the war situation.
Therefore, this small group of radicals did not gain many supporters and was quickly buried in the wave of debate between the remaining two groups.
"That's enough! In the face of a powerful enemy, you don't think about how to retreat. Instead, you chatter endlessly in the court. How unbecoming!" Yelv Desi cursed angrily.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If his life and safety were really threatened, Yeludesi would most likely not continue to hold on here, but would accept advice.
However, it has not reached that level yet, and it is not the time to retreat. It is already a great shame for Dongyi that a country has been trampled by the iron hoof of the enemy. Compared with him, the king of Dongyi, in the future
I'm afraid it will leave a mark in the history books.
However, not only was the capital of the country trampled by others, but even he, the king, fell into their hands. I am afraid that he, the king of Dongyi, not only left a mark in the history books, but also was nailed to the history books.
On the pillar of shame.
Thinking about the two people who were ashamed of Jingkang, it is actually not difficult to understand.
Therefore, if there is really nothing that can be done, Yeludesi will retreat. In fact, once there is no way to retreat, Yeludesi is even ready to die for the country.
Of course, at this moment, although the enemy has been forced to Changlin Street, Yeludesi can still hold his own at this moment. It is not yet the time to retreat.
"Which general is in charge of the battle now!" Yeludesi asked. There was a hint of anxiety in his words.
Xiao Hanqing died in battle, so naturally someone needs to take his place as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the garrison in the city cannot get a unified command and instead fight independently, it will not take long before they are reduced to a piece of scattered sand. If you want to defend the capital, you will have to
It’s even more difficult!
"Your Majesty, General Yuan Bojin is currently commanding the entire army!"
Hearing this, Yeludesi felt relieved for the time being. Although Yuan Bojin was not lovable, he still had no problem with his ability. After Xiao Hanqing died in battle, it was considered that Yuan Bojin could take over the command position.
The above is an acceptable choice.
At least, Yeludesi can't think of a better person to replace him for the time being!
