Zhang Xiaoting finished reading the battle report in his hands and slowly placed it on the table in front of him.
This battle cost them 135,000 lives and 50,000 to 60,000 injured, which was too much for the harvest, as they had paid such a heavy price for merely breaching the first line of defense on the borderline of the Cloud Feather Kingdom.
Together with the 20,000 casualties of the first day, the number of those who have died so far is more than 150,000 people.
It was a heavy number, and Zhang Xiaoting didn't even know if it was considered a victory.
However, whether he was willing to accept it or not, the war would continue, and his one and a half million troops would turn out to be only one and a half million capable of going to war.
Early the next morning, the front pages of both the Yugu Daily and the East Qin Daily were filled with detailed reports about the war , and interestingly enough, both sides, the East Qin Kingdom a
In this battle, the East Qin army suffered 600,000 casualties, while the Cloud Feather Kingdom's casualties were only 50,000 people.One to twelve, the number of casualties is still a large proportion, Zhang Xiaoting also do not like this kind of victory, but he has no choice, the emperor asked for, is to win at any cost.When they took control of the entire city, they realized that it was actually an empty city, not only was there no Cloud Feather Premier's army, there wasn't even a single citizen.It turned out that Yun Yu 囯 had already moved the people ahead of time before the battle.Controlling an empty city, and along with that, the places around Zhongzhou City were under their control.Unfortunately, the people in the neighborhood are no longer there either.With the war having reached this point, there was no way back for the East Qin Kingdom, and the Cloud Feather Prefectures likewise could not retreat.However, the strategy was alr
Hearing Zhuang Shujun's question, Mu Qianmei pondered for a moment before answering slowly,"The time is not yet right, on the battlefield, there are often war opportunities that are fleeting, for the whole war, the timing of the counterattack must also be well chosen, too early, we will pay a greater price is not necessarily victory, too late, the situation has been determined, may be our counterattacks have been not too meaningful, so Only just right, is the best. ""We have retreated so much and waited so long with the aim of exhausting their strength to the maximum, and now, just to defend once more, they will surely attack again.""When they go on the offensive, that's the best time for us to counterattack."Zhuang Shujun said slightly helplessly,"The warriors are holding their breath in their hearts, they can't wait to launch a counterattack right away, this retreat over and over again makes everyone's heart ache, for warriors, they'd rather die
After Qin Siyong's question, the courtroom was quiet, and the ministers were all frowning, but they didn't know how to speak.In such a situation, it is wrong to say, how can I say it, to fight, with no soldiers available, and to flee, who dares to suggest it?Looking at no one to speak, Qin Siyong looked at Yan Wansong, and without the emperor speaking, Yan Wansong stepped out and said,"I have already summoned the troops within the country urgently, and all of them are concentrating towards Lanjing City, within ten days, roughly six hundred thousand troops can be summoned, and together with the imperial guards and garrisons of the Imperial City, a total of eight hundred thousand troops can be summoned as well.""The other side has traveled a long way and is a tired division, our army has an absolute advantage by staying at ease, and we are defending the city while the other side is attacking the city, and the defending city has a wall as a barrier, so we ar
After Lin Zhiqiu and Bara finished their discussion, the two quickly arranged for the soldiers to eat dinner and take a short rest.The army of the Cloud Feather Kingdom, because they were going to make a thousand-mile surprise attack, all traveled lightly, and the dry food they carried was not a lot, and after they hurriedly ate dinner, they followed the military order, and the whole army was fully loaded and ready to prepare for the night's surprise attack operation.What they didn't know was that the East Qin Kingdom was also planning a nighttime sneak attack.The hour of midnight had just arrived, and the armies on both sides were on time.Originally very close to each other, the East Qin army had just rushed out of Lanjing City not far before they met up with the Yun Yu Kingdom's army that had come to prepare for a surprise attack.When the two armies met, they instantly understood each other's intentions and went to war without saying a word, the
Qin Siyong decided not to retreat, the group of ministers again no one dares to insist on speech, and he said quite reasonable, their generals are still on the other side of the attack on the city, this side of the main camp but gave up the resistance in advance, is not it a great impact on the morale?On the side of the Cloud Feather Kingdom, Zhuang Shujun originally did not intend to retreat, however, Zhang Xiaoting, upon hearing that the capital of the East Qin Kingdom, Lanjing City, was in danger, in a hurry, he divided his troops to rescue it while launching a fierce attack, because of the lack of troops, he also followed the example of the Cloud Feather Kingdom, no longer dividing his troops to defend the cities he occupied, but instead, concentrating all his troops to attack the cities with all his might.After mobilizing the soldiers defending the city for the battle, the contrast in strength was equal at this point.Hearing that their country was in danger
With a few moments of long suppressed anger, Qin Siyong left only 200,000 troops to guard the city before personally leading a million troops and heading out of the city, wanting to eat Lin Zhiqiu's 900,000 troops in one bite.Because of the close proximity, the army led by Qin Siyong had just left the city, and Lin Zhiqiu already knew the news, and immediately stood by in a tight formation, deciding to confront Qin Siyong's army head-on in a showdown.The two armies are facing each other, and they are not on par in terms of momentum. The East Qin army has a high morale because it is the Emperor's imperial army, so even if it is just a miscellaneous army that is temporarily put together, it has also gained a little bit of bravado.As for what Lin Zhiqiu led, 300,000 were the cavalry troops left behind by Barra, 500,000 were those who had followed him to fight here, 100,000 were left behind by Mu Qianmei, and 80,000 of them were still recruited on a temporary basis
The game had already reached the endgame stage, on the chessboard, Mu Qianmei had the advantage, whether it was a comparison of the strength of the troops, or a comparison of the positions occupied by the armies, Qin Siyong was far from being in a disadvantageous position.Above the court hall, Qin Siyong sat on the dragon chair frowning, did not speak for a long time, is a person in solitary contemplation, the civil and military officials are standing quietly, no one spoke, everyone's mood is very low, such a situation, so that people have a kind of powerlessness to return to heaven.Qin Siyong knew that all of this was caused by him being too eager for success.If he could do it all over again, he would never have gotten the situation to this point.Unfortunately, there is no turning back.Qin Siyong raised his head, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the civil and military officials, as if he wanted to ask them what to do next, and as if he want
Yun Yu Kingdom Bara's cavalry unit, against East Qin Kingdom Tang Xiao's cavalry unit, held a great advantage in terms of both numbers and combat power.What's more, this rescue army of the East Qin Kingdom, which had traveled a long distance, was a truly exhausted division.Now, Mu Qianmei was leading her 100,000 troops to block Tang Xiao's retreat, and although they weren't cavalry, many of them were martial arts experts, especially Liu Tingfeng and Mo Huan, who stood on either side of her, and were true one-man-arms-at-a-time characters.Behind Tang Xiao, was Mu Qianmei's 100,000 troops neatly lined up in formation, standing at the forefront of the team, were experts selected from the Beggar's Association, and at the back were the well-trained soldiers of the Cloud Feather Kingdom.On the battlefield, it was the cavalry of the two sides fighting fiercely, people were roaring, horses were screaming, everywhere there was the sound of weapons colliding, non-s
