"Xiao Tang, I can't blame Liang Chongxin for this. Even I could only do that at that time. The terrain of Yuejing is flat, and the Machihans can rely on their powerful cavalry to give heavy blows to our troops entering the Yuejing plain at any time. If you want to break their cavalry advantage, you can only make decisions on the terrain. Although Chongxin’s move is a bit cruel, there is nothing you can do about it. It is better to cry as a family than to cry together. If we don’t deal with the Machihans earlier, we in the north will I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous. If the empire is not protected, it will not only be the hundreds of thousands of people in Yuejing who will suffer?"
Wu Feng also changed his expression to look relieved, but he couldn't hide the joy in the corners of his eyes. In the eyes of Xiao and Su, they could only shake their heads secretly. This man-made flood in Yue Jing would not only hurt hundreds of thousands of Yue Jing people, it would also break the hearts of the entire Yue Jing nation. If it is not handled properly, I am afraid that It would trigger a major civil uprising. Since the Yue Jing servants dared to turn against the Machikhans when they tried to set fire to Gongming, then this flood that ignored the interests of the Yue Jing nation would not allow them to revolt again. Betrayal
"Your Majesty, I wonder what is the situation in Yue Jing now? What is the attitude of the Yue Jing servants stationed in Gongming City?" Bo Jinchen, with a solemn look on his face, broke the deadlock. He could not comment on whether Liang Chongxin's move was right or wrong. , From the perspective of the current safety of the empire, Liang Chongxin's breach of the embankment is naturally an extremely clever move. However, if the empire wants to incorporate Yue Jing into imperial rule in the future, I am afraid that this gap will not be filled in even a few lifetimes.
"Yue Jing City is still in the hands of the Machi Khans. But that is already the end of the war. They simply cannot withstand the impact of Chong Xin's army with just a few infantry regiments with low morale. It is estimated that there will be Yue Jing City in the next two days. News of the capture came." Wu Feng said confidently: "I think Liang Chongxin should take precautions against the issue of Yue Jing's servants. It may have some negative effects, but I feel it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The next step is to consider how to capture An. It’s time for Gon and Jemello.”
"Your Majesty, we cannot underestimate the impact of this flood. The people of Yuejing have a strong rebellious mentality. If they are not dealt with in time, I am worried that it will cause a lot of trouble for the empire to take over Yuejing in the future. I think we should take over the city of Yuejing." Take corresponding measures, such as disaster relief, relief, compensation and other means. If conditions permit, I believe that the empire should compensate the people of Yuejing according to the losses suffered, and at the same time adopt tax reduction and exemption and other means to win back the people's hearts. Qing Ke, Qing Shi, The three noble concubines Qingyun can serve as the special envoys for this disaster relief and compensation. This can avoid the corruption of the empire's image in this region to the greatest extent." Su Qin pondered for a moment before adding: "I also have a somewhat abrupt suggestion, you might as well Publicly punishing General Chongxin can also ease the mood of the people in Yuejing to a certain extent. Otherwise, the initiator will not do anything, which will always leave a shadow among the people of Yuejing. Of course, it is best to reconcile with Chongxin before that. The general will decide after communicating."
The first half of Su Qin's suggestion made Wu Feng very satisfied, but when it came to dealing with Liang Chongxin, it was a bit tricky. The faces of the two Privy Council envoys turned slightly gloomy. After winning the battle, they punished the military commander instead. This also had a huge dampen on the morale of the army. Even though the methods are a bit excessive, this is war, and there is no such thing as war. What's more, it's not in your own country, so why not? Financial compensation is completely sufficient.
"This matter will be postponed for a while, but the disaster relief matters do need to be started immediately. Qingke and the three of them will be arranged immediately. As for the issues of compensation and tax exemptions, they can also be included in the empire's consideration, but not now, we have to wait. Only after this big battle is completely over." Wu Feng avoided the issue of dealing with Liang Chongxin, as he needed to take into account the feelings of many parties on this issue. Don't make decisions lightly.
At this time, Liang Chongxin had no time to think about how the central government of the empire would treat this flood disaster. After the Hefang City and Yuejing City experienced blisters for several days and the last round of flood offensive, the city walls finally began to collapse. , Machihan's cavalry was trapped in several places and could not be dispatched at all. With the help of early preparations, the First and Second Corps advanced all the way northward to the city of Yuejing, while the Sixth Army in the south was worried about the attitude of Yuejing's servants. However, only one division was deployed to symbolically attack Yue Jing City from the north.
This time Yaning did not dare to retreat even if he wanted to. He had already lost Ronisia without a single blow. Now that the river defense was lost, there was only one lonely city in Yuejing. After the flood, the cavalry could not move at all on this muddy ground. The collapse of the city wall made Ya Ning want to cry without tears.
The continuous march also made the Empire's First Army and Second Army feel exhausted, but this was the last ditch effort, and they also understood that as long as they persisted in this battle, they would win the final victory. The Machihan people were also demoralized, and the Yuejing defenders who were worried about being cut off from their return were even more panicked. Everyone hoped that the coach would make the same decision this time as he did last time, and evacuate Yuejing City and flee to Anjie, but This time Yan Ning knew that he could no longer retreat. Unless he received a direct order from the Great Khan or Master Lei, he would really dare to make his own decision to evacuate from Yuejing. He was afraid that what was waiting for him would be endless days in prison, which was already the best outcome. The country will not ask what kind of situation they are in. They only know that the country that the Khanate spent ten years building has been completely destroyed by them in just two or three months. Political needs can even send them to the end. Guillotine, even the position of the general of the country cannot save his head.
Raindrop-like rocks mixed with rolling giant trees roared down the city wall. At this time, the Empire's First Legion fully demonstrated its strength and tenacity in overcoming difficulties. Even if their comrades were being smashed into pieces right next to them, these men did not care at all. Bravely charging forward, the huge oar shield was propped up to keep an eye on the catapults on the top of the city. The Hongtian Lei hidden behind the oar shield was already bombarding for the third time. Thick smoke and flames spread all over the city. Throughout the city wall, the smell of burning flesh filled the air.
Blood and flesh have become the most worthless things at this time. Every time a huge stone falls on the crowd, there will always be bursts of screams and howls, and the thunder in return will always explode on the city wall every time it is spit out. There was a loud explosion, and flying metal fragments flew towards the underworld coins that bought people's lives and wandered around the city. The Machihan soldiers were completely unable to withstand this kind of devouring from hell. The rotating fragments could easily tear and cut. The flames licked the bodies of the soldiers wearing thick armor without warning, and the soldiers ran to avoid the poisonous flames mixed in the oil and flowing everywhere.
Poisonous smoke curled up under the city wall, and the pungent smell made the unprepared Machi Khan soldiers dizzy and misty-eyed with tears. This also seriously weakened the Machi Khan soldiers' will to resist. They watched the troops rushing under the city wall. The dense crowd of people, looking at the brave and wild attack waves of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, everyone realized that there was probably not much suspense in this battle.
The ferocious impact of the first legion is no less powerful than the second legion. The warriors of the Gaoyue tribe have never known what fear is. Even though they know that one step forward means death and one step back means life, there is still no one. There is the slightest bit of willingness to back down. Helianbo's roaring roar and Shanzhu's vigorous and heroic posture are undoubtedly the best examples for Gaoyue soldiers. Seeing the commander of Helianbo's army with an iron helmet on his head, standing under the city wall and braving arrows and gravel, he took the lead to set an example. Seeing Shanzhu's deputy The legion commander himself was the first to jump off the city wall and the enthusiasm of Gao Yue's soldiers was completely ignited.
Yaning stared blankly at the Tang soldiers who jumped onto the city wall one by one. The Tang soldiers pouring in from the gaps in the city wall were densely packed in the streets like locusts, roaring and chasing down the Machi Khan soldiers who were still holding on with clenched teeth. , the defeat was irreversible. Although his soldiers had tried their best, victory or defeat could not be determined by blood and courage alone. The Tang army's move was indeed too cruel. It not only completely destroyed the morale of its own army, but also The city wall of Yue Jing City was also completely destroyed. Both the zebra light cavalry and the wildebeest heavy cavalry could only huddle on the highlands, losing the support of the cavalry. There was no suspense in this battle. This battle was In his last battle, Yan Ning's mood seemed particularly calm at this time. No one has ever died in life since ancient times, and the horse-hide corpse is a hero!
Ta Ning will not be a coward, nor will he back down. Since God has decided the outcome of this battle, Ta Ning will make this ending burn brighter. Where the silver rainbow flew, the heads of two soldiers of the Tang Army floated up like blood barriers with the splashing blood tide. The extremely sharp sword in Yan Ning's hand was like the King of Hell's seduction card. If you touch it, you will die, and if you touch it, you will die. . The rich blood mixed with the overwhelming murderous intent condensed Ya Ning into a murderous god who was completely driven into madness. When he met a god, he would kill a god, and when he met a Buddha, he would kill the Buddha!
Song Tianxiong stared coldly at the brave generals blowing gusts of wind in front of him. Dozens of brave soldiers had already been buried in the hands of this officer Ma Qihan whose whole body was soaked with blood. The sword in his hand was like a stream of autumn water. Every time the saber passed by, there would always be one or two flashes of red, but Song Tianxiong knew that the other party was at the end of his strength. Even if he was an iron man, his personal abilities were extremely limited in such a collective military operation. Song Tianxiong did not want to let this happen again. continue.
"Go!" A shocking sword energy flew through the sky and rushed towards the field. Without any consideration, Ya Ning slashed across the square. The vast and unparalleled sword energy almost enveloped Ya Ning to death. This was the opponent's full strength. With one blow, Ya Ning sighed slightly in his heart, and a clear "choking" sound spread out. Yan Ning's face remained unchanged, and he stared closely at the strong man standing motionless opposite him. After a long time, his eyes darkened, and his face suddenly changed. It became withered and yellow, dumped the golden mountains, fell down the jade pillars, and suddenly collapsed to the ground.
