Chapter 949 Raid
Chu and Yue formed an alliance, united Zhao, Man and Hu, and a total of five countries wanted to conquer Yan.
As soon as this news reached the Yan Kingdom, all the people in the country felt suffocated. The growing wave of opposition to Ning Qingyu seemed to be extinguished by the shadow of the war.
Later, under the secret guidance of Xingyun Gate and Dark Night Camp, another method of denunciation spread in the Yan Kingdom.
"Ning Qingyu, you are such a witch, you will swing your butcher knife at the ministers of the DPRK. If you have the ability, go and deal with the war between the five countries."
"That's right, women can only play palace fighting, but men have to rely on men to fight the real war."
"If you don't have the guts to deal with the war between the five countries, don't imitate men who want to be kings. Get out of office as soon as possible."
These denunciations successfully guided the thoughts and denunciations of countless subjects.
On the surface, these denunciations are still detrimental to Ning Qingyu, but in fact they have fallen within the scope of Song Xu and others' plan, successfully transferring the domestic conflict between Ning Qingyu and the opposition to the conflict between Yan State and the Five Kingdoms.
At this time, under the pressure of the war crisis, what people cared about was no longer the ten thousand-year tradition, nor the deaths of those who opposed the ministers, but the belief that Ning Qingyu, a woman, was incapable of leading the Yan Kingdom to victory.
As the whole country was in a state of excitement, Ning Qingyu announced that she would fight with all her strength and announced her strategic plan.
The Zixiao Army defended the eastern front and resisted the Chu State.
The Chess Academy is responsible for the northern front and resists the barbarians.
Xingyunmen is responsible for the western front and resists the Yue Kingdom.
The Song State was responsible for defending the Yan State against the Hu State.
There was also Zhonglang General Wu Yue who went to the southwest front to resist Zhao.
Ning Qingyu's courage impressed others, but no one was optimistic about the outcome of this defense battle.
The battle line of the Yan State is too long, and one country is resisting four countries. It can be said that the Yan State is in danger.
Many people in the Li Party had been secretly preparing to attack Ning Qingyu as soon as the war in Yan showed a slight decline. It was Ning Qingyu who had brought disaster to the country and the people. This was the reason why Yan fell into such a war and was unable to solve the problem.
By then, even if Ning Qingyu had the background and means, she would still have to step down.
War is about to break out.
Chu State and Zixiao Army took the lead in fighting. Chu State's 800,000 troops pressed on the border, while Zixiao Army's 200,000 troops defended.
However, the Zixiao Army was worthy of being the best army in the world. Facing a Chu army that was four times their own, there was no sign of defeat, and the frontier defense was impregnable.
Then Qiyuan and Manguo, and Song and Hu also went to war.
The Chess Academy is worthy of being a sacred place of inheritance. It has also merged with Yanjing Academy. It is powerful and can resist the barbarian attack.
The Song State and the Hu State are two hegemonic countries competing against each other, and the war will not be decided so quickly.
People are not paying attention to these three battlefields. Most people's attention is focused on the last two battlefields.
One is the Xingyun Gate against the Yue Kingdom, and the second is the Wu Yue army against the Zhao Kingdom.
Among them, the Yue Kingdom is one of the most powerful overlords among the seven overlords. Its strength is second only to the Yan Kingdom and the Man Kingdom. Can the Nebula Sect, which has a relatively shallow foundation, be able to stop it?
Lin Mu is strong, but in such a large battlefield with hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how strong a person is, the power he can exert is limited.
Setting up a large formation with thousands of soldiers was enough to hold Lin Mu back.
When the Nebula Sect is destroyed, even if Lin Mu breaks the formation, he will be unable to recover.
There is also the battle between Wu Yue's army and the State of Zhao. This is the battlefield with the greatest disparity in strength. Everyone knows that Wu Yue alone cannot stop the State of Zhao.
However, what made the spies from all sides feel strange was that the Wu Yue army and the Zhao State were already fighting, but there seemed to be no movement on the battlefields on the Xingyun Gate and the Yue State.
The armies of both sides were aggressive at first, but later they started playing hide-and-seek and disappeared without a trace, making it difficult for spies from all major forces to find them.
A month has passed quickly since the war began.
The situation of King Yan has become increasingly critical.
In the early days of the war, Yan State was able to fight against the four countries by relying on its strong combat power.
However, as time passed, resource supply problems arose, and the army's supplies gradually failed to keep up with consumption.
The Zixiao Army and Qiyuan were fine. The two armies had their own reserves and could continue to support them. However, the army led by Wu Yue gradually began to decline.
In terms of logistics, supplies were insufficient, and in terms of warfare, it became increasingly tight. Moreover, just three days ago, during a raid out of the city, they fell into the enemy's plan and suffered a defeat, which made the army panic.
Many forces began to speculate that in less than ten days, Wu Yue's army would be unable to sustain it.
Within the Yan Kingdom, many forces are also starting to brew a storm. As soon as Wu Yue's army falls, they will come out to reprimand Ning Qingyu for his incompetence, and let everyone in the Yan Kingdom come to attack Ning Qingyu.
On the thirty-fifth day, there were several riots in Wu Yue's army, and the morale of the army became increasingly unstable.
Outside the defended border fortress "Nanchui City", the Zhao army's offensive became more and more fierce. The soldiers of the Wu and Yue army, who were already unstable in military morale, showed signs of being unable to sustain themselves.
"Conquer Nanhammer City within three days."
Outside the city, the commander of the Zhao army, Marshal Zhou Quan of the State of Zhao, pointed to the front and shouted.
"Conquer Nanhammer City."
"kill!"
After a month of fighting, the morale of Zhao's soldiers became increasingly high and they shouted in unison.
In less than three days, the next day, Nanchui City was in danger. Many Zhao soldiers rushed to the city wall and fought bloody battles with the defenders of Wu Yue Army on the city wall.
Seeing that Zhao Jun was about to break through the defense line of Wu Yue's army, in a forest on the right side of Zhao Jun, the leaves and the ground suddenly shook.
"what happened?"
All the soldiers of Zhao army were surprised.
Zhou Quan had a bad feeling and quickly used his soul power to investigate. As a result, his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Impossible!"
But no matter how much he doesn't want to believe it, the facts will not change due to his will.
After a few breaths, a large number of Yan cavalry emerged from the right wing of Zhao Jun.
"Nebula Gate?"
"What's going on? The Xingyun Sect is not at war with the Yue Kingdom, so why is it here?"
The other soldiers of Zhao State were also stunned.
Unfortunately, the people from the Nebula Sect were destined not to answer their questions, and a fight began.
Inside Nanchui City.
The officers and soldiers of Wu Yue's army were already on the verge of despair, but they did not expect that such a change would suddenly occur.
"What? Someone from Xingyun Sect showed up?"
"That's great. Head Lin of the Xingyun Sect can kill even the most powerful King Yan. With the support of people from the Xingyun Sect, we are saved now."
All the officers and soldiers of Nanchui City felt that they had survived a desperate situation, and they all cheered with excitement.
"All soldiers, follow me and fight out of the city."
Wu Yue was not surprised by this. This was the strategy that Ning Qingyu, Song Xu and others had discussed before going into battle.
The reason why he didn't say anything was because he didn't want to leak the information, and only the army's truest display of fear could confuse Zhao Jun.
