This can't be fake news.
No one would be stupid enough to spread false news at this time.
Moreover, this general of the Shenwu Army has been following King Wu all year round. To a certain extent, he represents the will of King Wu Sijiao.
Qi Xia's war of astonishing scale, of course, locked up long-distance communication at the legal level. A strong man like King Wu who stands at the pinnacle of the extraordinary has a way to maintain contact with people outside the battlefield.
In particular, the Jingmu War was news that everyone in the Xia Kingdom was paying close attention to. To a large extent, the people of the Xia State bet on the victory of the Qi-Xia War on the victory of the Jing State.
They resisted desperately and were waiting for the outcome of the Battle of Jingmu.
It can be said that Sijiao was always paying attention to the progress of the Jingmu War and wished he could go to Shengguo to help in the battle.
After learning about the turning point of the Jingmu War, he immediately ordered people to spread the news throughout the city.
Fighting against Qi Ren is more difficult than imagined. . Most people in the Xia Kingdom have tried their best,
But still can only taste the bitter fruit of defeat. The situation was so bad that the Xi Meng Mansion had to step forward and personally lead the strategy of abandoning the Eastern Front, which was destined to be infamy for thousands of years.
However, the news of Jingguo's great victory over Muguo came faster than expected!
Probably influenced by the Jing Kingdom's westward expansion war, the Jing Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom were more liberal and aggressive than before.
I just regret that the message delivered by the Shenwu Army general was too brief, and I don't know what the specific situation is. Beigong Nantu died in battle, does Ying Jianghong still have fighting power? Where are the remnants of the Western Heavenly Master? How long does it take for Jingguo to complete the finishing touches and take his hand to go south...
Liu Xiyi felt extremely itchy and immediately said to Xi Mengfu: "You stay here for a while longer! I will come back for you later -"
Before he could finish his words, the Imperial Master of Daxia, who didn't like to talk to him, had already jumped off the tower and disappeared in a flash.
"His grandma's!" The Prime Minister of Daxia kicked the turret.
Beigong Nantu is the high priest of Shenmian Preaching and the person in charge of Cangtu Temple.
It can be said that his status in the entire Daimu Empire is only below that of the Queen of Muguo.
Even this "under one person" is not necessarily that accurate. Because Muguo is a country that combines politics and religion, it is the only overlord country in the world that believes in Shinto. The divine light of Cangtu God covers the grassland, while Beigong Nantu represents the god's will.
One can imagine his status!
On many occasions, he was on an equal footing with the empress Helian Shanhai.
This time he left Qionglu Mountain and personally suppressed the army and went south, which was of extraordinary significance and demonstrated the determination of God Cangtu to spread his faith across the grasslands.
But he is such a crucial figure.
But he fell in this war and was killed by Nantian Master Ying Jianghong!
There is also the famous Iron Buddha, which ranks sixth among the top ten cavalry armies in the world. It is two ranks higher than Qi's Zhufeng Army, but it suffered a disastrous defeat on the battlefield of Sheng Kingdom...
There is no news that Jin Tandu died in the battle, but the Iron Buddha Tu was maimed. As the master of the Iron Buddha Tu, Jin Tandu was probably seriously injured even if he was not dead!
Overnight, the situation suddenly changed.
One of the two powerful true kings from the Mu Kingdom was killed in battle, and the other was maimed while leading his powerful army.
This war to redraw the boundaries between the Central Territory and the Northern Territory can already be declared over.
Next, we just have to see where Jing Guo can hit and where he wants to hit!
And the war between Jingmu and Mu had an impact not only on the territory of Sheng Kingdom, but also on the central and northern regions?
For the entire Qixia battlefield, this news may have a decisive impact!
Of course, the news that King Wu Sijiao could get, Yan Ping who accompanied the Zhenjun army could also get it.
Thirty-three years ago, the Qi army came to the city of Guiyi, Yitian Temple rose from the ground, Jingguo's three sects, and the auras of countless powerful people descended out of thin air... The Qi army had to return to the court, and even withdrew from the southern region directly. .
The entire Qi State, from Emperor Qi on down, fought to the death in a bloody battle for supremacy. When the final victory came, Jing Guo easily cut off a large chunk of the harvest. He also drew a boundary and prohibited Qi people from going south again.
This story is not unfamiliar to people in Qi.
The people of Qi have remembered this kind of frustration for many years!
In the battle of Xingyueyuan, Qi Tianjiao defeated Jing Tianjiao, and Jing Guo was forced to dismantle Yitian Temple in Xia State. Many people in Qi State cried with joy.
Then Cao Jie secretly acted for the generals of the Mu Kingdom, beheaded Qi Hong, captured Liyuan, and helped the Mu Kingdom soldiers to leave the grassland, so there was this war against Xia.
This time, the whole country of Qi was united and the monarchs and ministers worked hard to win consecutive battles.
But at this time, news came that the winner of the Jingmu War had been decided!
Although there is no official battle report yet, the war is still continuing in the territory of Shengguo.
But the high priest Beigong Nantu of the Divine Crown Preacher has been killed in the battle, and the Iron Buddha Tu has been maimed. Everyone can see that.
This war has entered the final stage.
Jing Guo can already have his hands free.
Qi State must make a decision!
If you decide to withdraw, you must start preparing now. How to complete the withdrawal in a stable and orderly manner while preserving the gains already made as much as possible is also a great test of the commander's ability.
"That's the current news."
In the tall Rong Chonglou car, Cao Jie was sitting in the commander's seat, his expression still calm.
Beigong Nantu died in battle. The news that shocked the world could not arouse the slightest emotion in his eyes.
He just sat there upright and asked slowly: "If you have any ideas, you might as well tell them."
At this moment, Yan Ping, Ruan Yang, Chongxuan, Chu Liang, and Li Zhengyan were sitting in this small room.
Except for Chen Zeqing, who was still leading the army outside Tongyang City, the top brass of the entire middle army gathered here.
The death of Beigong Nantu once again demonstrated the power of the Central Empire.
Declare to the world that to this day, Jingguo is still the most powerful country in the world. Every move is enough to shake the world.
I would like to ask the princes and countries, who dares to ignore it? !
"Military matters are naturally made by the commander-in-chief." Yan Ping said in a gentle voice: "However, if the high priests of Shenmian Evangelism are dead, the Battle of Jingmu will come to an end in five or seven days at most, or in two or three days at least. Where will we go then? , the commander-in-chief still needs to think about it early."
There was also a sigh on Ruan Yuan's excessively young face.
During his trip, he was only responsible for blocking the Xia Kingdom's communication system, using star power to clamp down on long-distance communication rules, and providing true king-level combat power. He did not intend to provide any insights into the military.
But when he suddenly heard about the major turning point in the Jingmu War, he could fully understand its significance.
He had been staying by Cao Jiu's side during this period, and he knew very well how carefully Cao Jiu had planned this battle. I know how much the whole country has paid for today.
It was also during this period that he witnessed the courage of too many Daqi soldiers.
The emperor gave Cao Jiu absolute trust. Fierce generals such as Chongxuan Chu Liang also fully supported the commander of the expedition to Xia. Cao Jiu himself was as steady as a mountain at every step.
Everything is going in the right direction.
The Qi army was so powerful that it was almost certain that Xia would be destroyed in one fell swoop. After quickly forcing out Xia's national defense formation, breakthrough progress was also made on the northern and eastern fronts. A few days ago, Cao Jie also said that if nothing unexpected happens, the entire war will be over before March.
But the accident has happened now...
Who would have thought that the collision between the two hegemonic powers would result so quickly?
As a great master of astrology, he has a sense of divine will that can trick people.
In this Jingmu war, among the five current true kings who participated in the battle, judging from past performance, Beigong Nantu was undoubtedly the strongest one. But he was the only one who died first.
Although the death of a true king is not uncommon in wars between overlords. But a man as powerful as Beigong Nantu, who was almost equivalent to the incarnation of Cangtu God on the grassland, his death was really surprising!
The specific process of his death in battle is still unknown.
It is still unclear what kind of results Jingguo will achieve in the future.
But with the death of Beigong Nantu, Muguo has undoubtedly declared a complete defeat, and the next war will only depend on how it will lose in the end.
"I can only calculate good or bad luck. It's up to you generals to judge whether it's right or wrong." Ruan Yuan said in a declarative tone: "The country's power is entangled, and I have no place to use it."
Cao Jie said nothing.
"I am definitely not rational enough to make a decision now." Li Zhengyan said, "So I reserve my opinion. You can just discuss it. No matter what the final result of the military discussion is, I will accept it."
The war has progressed so far, and the Zhufeng Army is the one with the heaviest casualties among the three nine-soldier brigades.
Outside Tongyang City, the cavalry collided. More than 30,000 Zhufeng warriors died forever.
How could he accept withdrawing now?
But if we do not consider it from the perspective of war, but make opinions based on the casualties of our soldiers and our own emotions, it is undoubtedly irresponsible for this war.
Even if his analysis is coherent now, it is difficult for him to say that he is not affected by emotions, so he reserves his opinion.
At such moments, restraint is the demeanor of a famous general.
Everyone has finished speaking.
Chongxuan Chu Liang, who was slightly chubby and seemed gentle and harmless, finally said, "How is it possible to retreat now?"
He turned his eyes in a circle and showed his will in no uncertain terms: "This opportunity to destroy Xia is once in a lifetime. If you miss this time, you may not have another chance in this life."
"If you want me to tell you"
He let out a breath, and it seemed as if white frost was rising from his sword: "It's the right time to destroy the Xia Kingdom! The more the Xia people think they are saved, the more they think Jing Kingdom can protect them, the more we can defeat them in one battle Their backbone!”
There is not a single word "kill" in the whole novel, and his demeanor is by no means vicious.
But such sharpness has the power to intimidate others!
Cao Jiu gently led the way: "What General Chongxuan said... is very much in line with my wishes."
"The more the people of Xia see the bright future, the more we will shatter their illusions and drive them to the end of their rope!"
"I will not withdraw from the army."
He put his hands on the case and repeated again: "Unless His Majesty's imperial edict is handed over to me, I will never retreat."
He stood up and said calmly: "Get ready for a decisive battle."
The atmosphere was completely different from the military discussion on the east bank of Lianjiang River.
In Tongyang City, there was a lot of noise at the moment.
The civil servants and generals of the Great Xia Empire could not suppress their excitement.
Ever since Qi State officially declared war on November 7 last year, the dark clouds that have been hanging over people's hearts seem to have suddenly dispersed! It was as clear as the sky at this time.
No, the cloud is not just from last year to this year?
It started in October of the 3919th year of the Dao calendar, after the Battle of Xingyueyuan ended. The Yitian Temple established by Jingguo in Xiaguo was dismantled overnight.
Suddenly, Xia State had to face Qi State, the overlord of the Eastern Region, alone.
War was not the choice of the Xia people in the age of Shenwu. Although the government and the public kept talking about advancing eastward, the real top officials of the Xia country knew that they were never ready.
But who will give you time to prepare?
After the battle for hegemony ended that year... in this vast land, the beginning and end of the war had nothing to do with Xia Kingdom himself!
It has always been a matter between Qi and Jing.
This time, Qi State and Mu State took advantage of each other, and there was actually an implicit threat of joining forces.
But Jingguo was still strong, and once showed the courage to fight one against two, he actually used the battle of Xingyueyuan to test the quality of Qi.
Qi State first defeated Xingyue Yuan, and then helped Mu State steal Liyuan City, which started a year-long battle between Mu State and Sheng State. At that time, the eyes of Jing State and Sheng State were all on the famous generals of Mu State. No one expected that it was Cao Jie who was banned in Linzi and went to capture Li Yuan.
Thinking about it afterwards, it was really a move to use the world as a tactic and steal the sky to change the sun.
The tacit understanding between Emperor Qi and the Empress of Mu Kingdom lies in that hand.
Frankly speaking, although most people in the Xia Kingdom pinned the outcome of this Qi-Xia war on Jing Guo. The ultimate hope for the whole country to fight a protracted war is to last until Jing Guo goes south.
But no one would think that the large-scale war launched by Jing Mu in Sheng Kingdom could be completed within three months.
After all, it was a collision between the two overlords. After all, it was the Mu Kingdom that started the war. The empress showed off the momentum of riding a horse in the middle region. How could she not have any trump card to rely on to win or lose?
From an objective point of view, Jingguo is the most powerful country that has officially opened the era of national institutions and dominates the central region. It has been dominant for a long time and is the same age as the new era. Its heritage is unfathomable.
The sudden westward expansion war launched by Jing State also accelerated the Jingmu War to a great extent - who doesn't know that the Five Northwest Alliance also secretly has the support of Jing State?
Otherwise, why would a small country in a bitter cold land develop a strong army in the first place?
The powerful ordnance purchased by those five countries in Jingguo every year can barely cover the cost. When can there be such benevolence and righteousness between countries?
It's just that Jingguo still keeps secret his support for the Five Northwest Alliance. The support for Xia Guo was blatant. The protection given to a vassal state like Sheng Guo is nothing short of grand.
The situation in the world is like this, and the senior officials of Xia State have long been aware of the situation.
The more hostile they are to Qi, the more support they can get from Jing. That’s why the voice of marching eastward continues throughout the government and the public.
Although there are always voices saying that the roots of Jingguo are rotten and the old trees will wither, this ancient and great central empire
Still using this scene of the animal husbandry battle, he once again declared his strength!
As for the outcome of the Jingmu War, for Xia Guo, it was completely a matter of time before the clouds cleared and the moon came out!
In this situation where everyone was happy, Xi Meng's mansion hurried into the meeting hall, a little...out of place.
People looked at him.
The civil and military ministers of the Xia Kingdom, who were guarding the front line of Tongyang City and had the consciousness to fight to the death for their country, could not hide their strange looks at him——
Not long ago, this Great Xia Imperial Master led and implemented the strategy of abandoning the eastern prefectures of the Xia Kingdom.
