"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, and at the same time, they were even more worried about the outcome of the next battle.
The death of such a great general as Xiao Hanqing in battle can be imagined the impact 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.
This level of losses has not been seen in Dongyi for decades or hundreds of years. Not to mention just facing such a mere 20,000 Zhendong Army, even on the main frontal battlefield with the Zhendong Army, they had not suffered such losses for many 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 really breaks into the palace, and if there is a problem even here in Yeludesi, where will the whole Dongyi be?
With only 20,000 people, Dongyi never thought that it would produce results like today. Even if 20,000 people defeated Yunhaishi, and even later attacked Zhulong Mansion, Dongyi never thought that only 20,000 people could 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 completely threatened 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. Even 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 letting Yeludesi 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 a sea-suppressing needle, 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, why would he ask his soldiers to fight to the death to kill the enemy? Even if the soldiers below know this news, their military morale will definitely be lost. By then, it was a foregone conclusion that the country's capital would 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 is never black or white, right or wrong. Each of these two factions has its own starting point, but their final choices are just different!
Among them, some of the most agitated ministers said 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 courtiers who are close to each other, the rest of the plan does not dare to take such a risky method!
New battle situations are reported every moment. From the battle reports 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, really has 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 tide of controversy between the remaining two groups.
"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 yet the time to retreat. It is already a great shame for Dongyi that the capital of a country has been trampled by the iron hoof of the enemy. Compared with him, the king of Dongyi will probably leave a more colorful mark in the history books in the future.
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 something really cannot be done, Yeludesi will retreat. In fact, once there was no way to retreat, Yeludesi was even ready to die for his 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 directing the battle now!" Yeludesi asked. There was already a hint of anxiety in his words.
Xiao Hanqing died in battle, so naturally someone needed 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 be long before they are reduced to a piece of scattered sand, and it will be even more difficult to defend the capital!
"Your Majesty, General Yuan Bojin is currently commanding the entire army!"
Hearing this, Yelv Desi felt relieved for the time being. Although Yun Bojin is not likeable, there is still no problem in terms of ability. After Xiao Hanqing died in battle, Yuan Bojin could take over the command position, which was considered an acceptable choice.
At least, Yeludesi couldn't think of a better person to replace him for the time being!
