Emperor Chongkang's face was as deep as water and he ordered: "Come here, ask the commander-in-chief of the Jin Kingdom why he invaded my country, Daxia? Is it because he wants to start a full-scale war with my Daxia?"
People are calling at the door of your house. Logically speaking, you just need to ask directly and that's it.
The reason why Emperor Chongkang sent people to inquire was that he wanted to first occupy a moral perspective.
As the saying goes: if the name is correct, the words will be smooth, if the words are smooth, the deeds will be accomplished, and if the deeds are accomplished, etiquette and happiness will flourish.
Soon, Daxia sent envoys to the Jin Kingdom's formation to ask questions.
Not long after, the envoy returned and reported the commander-in-chief's message to Emperor Chongkang.
"Your Majesty, Yelu Qi, the leader of the Jin Kingdom, said that the reason why they sent troops to Daxia was because Zhao Heng, the great scholar of the Daxia cabinet, Jia Huan, the magistrate of Taiping County, and Feng Qi, the governor of Taiping County, insulted and slandered Dajin."
"They are sending troops to seek justice from Daxia. As long as Daxia hands over these three people and compensates them with one million taels of silver and five million shi of food, they will retreat."
As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials on the city wall became silent.
Bachelor Zhao, Jia Huan and Feng Qi, one is the leader of the reform faction, the other is the vanguard of the reform faction, and the other is the backbone of the reform faction.
It was these three masters and apprentices who promoted the change.
The Dajin Kingdom sent troops this time, without any secret, to prevent the changes in the Daxia Kingdom.
Because once Daxia's reform is successful, its national strength will be greatly improved.
Once its national power increases, it will be very difficult for the Jin Kingdom not only to conquer Daxia, but also to maintain the current situation.
After all, Daxia has a vast territory and rich resources, and its national power is already stronger than that of the Jin Kingdom.
Once Daxia once again establishes a prosperous age, the Kingdom of Jin will be defeated by Daxia.
And this time, if Daxia really can't withstand the pressure from the Kingdom of Jin and really hands over these three people.
Then the changes in Daxia can end here.
The Kingdom of Daxia would not be able to hold its head high in front of the Kingdom of Jin.
Hearing the words of the Jin general Yeluqi, Emperor Chongkang laughed angrily, and then said in a deep voice: "I am telling you that these three people are my ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"I hope the Kingdom of Jin will not make mistakes and use such unfounded charges to persecute our important ministers in Daxia! The army of the Kingdom of Jin must evacuate our territory of Daxia quickly! Otherwise, I, Daxia, will let them come and go without any return. Don't say that you are not telling the truth." Pre-ye!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Soon, the Daxia envoy came to the Jin army and conveyed Emperor Chongkang's reply.
The Jin army did not retreat because of this. Instead, they activated their army and spread out in all directions.
They actually divided their troops and moved around. It seemed that they wanted to surround the entire capital first.
Among them, there were 50,000 soldiers and horses, who began to clear the roadblocks and slowly attacked the Daxia Kingdom's fortifications.
Jin Guo's method of destroying and clearing roadblocks was simple and crude.
A group of soldiers wearing soft armor was sent out, and Chang Mu was dragged through behind them.
All the traps, snagging ropes, etc. were suddenly gone.
Following closely behind, soldiers from the Kingdom of Jin began to quickly fill the horse trap.
These traps, snagging ropes and other roadblocks were originally designed to cooperate with the army's sniper attack.
These simple roadblocks cannot cause trouble to the Jin soldiers at all.
However, at this time, there were only 50,000 Daxia soldiers outside the city. How could they dare to take the initiative? Can only defend passively.
Jin Guo advanced very fast and soon came to the fence set by Daxia.
After crossing the fence, we will face the Daxia army directly ahead.
At this time, Wang Ziteng decisively ordered the Daxia archers to start shooting with bows and arrows.
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom had rows of shield bearers who quickly raised their large shields to block the arrows.
The Jin archers also began to fight back.
And obviously, the archers of Jin Kingdom are better.
On the Daxia soldiers' side, there were also shield bearers to resist bows and arrows.
However, screams continued to be heard from the Daxia soldiers, and from time to time soldiers were hit by arrows and fell to the ground in pain.
On the Jin side, the number of injured was much less than that of Daxia soldiers.
The battle losses on both sides were almost five to one.
The two sides haven't officially started war yet, but Daxia is already in decline.
At this moment, soldiers in Daxia's army suddenly turned around and ran toward the city gate.
While running, he shouted nervously: "The Jin Army is coming, run!"
This run was like dominoes. With a roar, more and more Daxia soldiers joined the fleeing ranks.
In the end, all the Daxia soldiers were defeated without the two sides starting a war.
And because of the congestion, there were countless Daxia soldiers who trampled on each other and were trampled to death.
Seeing this, the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom became more and more excited. They pressed in with the whole army, quickly cleared the fence, followed quickly, and pursued them.
The defeated Daxia soldiers became lambs to be slaughtered. They were scrambling one by one, only wishing that their parents had not given birth to eight legs.
The situation of trampling on each other along the way became more and more serious.
Fortunately, they were only five miles away from the city gate, and they reached it quickly within five miles.
The archers on the city wall began to shoot with bows and arrows to provide aid to the defeated Daxia soldiers.
Only then did they retreat into the city without any danger.
However, those who were trampled on by each other along the way were also attacked and killed by the Jin Kingdom, almost ten thousand people.
Of course, more people died from trampling on each other.
The Jin Kingdom called for gold to withdraw its troops, but they did not retreat just yet.
Instead, they stayed outside the shooting range of the Daxia archers and laughed together.
He also shouted in Daxia language and mocked Daxia.
Emperor Chongkang looked extremely embarrassed. Without saying a word, he stood up and left, heading directly back to the palace.
The civil and military officials have different expressions.
At this time, Wang Ziteng was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He never expected that the soldiers of the three battalions would be such useless people!
The defensive formation he set up was perfect!
Relying on their formation, they can definitely be invincible and even gain a small advantage.
As long as the first round of Jin's attack is defeated, they can slowly retreat.
Even if they draw just once, they can brag about a big win to boost their morale.
However, he never expected that before the Jin army rushed over and the two sides started fighting, the Daxia soldiers were completely defeated.
With this defeat, he, the commander, was disgraced, and it would also consume Emperor Chongkang's reliance on him.
Faced with such a situation, how could Wang Ziteng not be angry?
However, this battle is not a mistake!
To lead such a group of losers, even if Bai Qi is alive and Wu Mu is reborn, there is nothing he can do.
Next, Wang Ziteng had to reorganize the remnants of the escaped army and then arrange their city defense affairs.
After a disastrous defeat in the first battle, Wang Ziteng had to devote all his attention to defense.
Only if we defend well next, we may have a chance to wash away the disastrous defeat in the first game.
…
The defeat of Daxia soldiers outside the city also caused more and more panic among the people in the capital.
At the same time, the conditions proposed by the Jin Kingdom spread rapidly throughout the capital. (End of chapter)
