The discussion board became lively again, and the entire human race laughed at the Qing Kingdom together.
"Congratulations to Jingguo for winning the first battle without sending a single soldier!"
"The scholars of Jing country are so terrifying that they can take the heads of enemies thousands of miles away and in the midst of thousands of troops!"
"Qingguo tried its best! After all, occupying a city is a strenuous task!"
"I don't understand why you are laughing at Qing. They have occupied eight cities! They are about to take over the entire Taihe Prefecture! They have achieved this with hundreds of casualties. Isn't this a miracle of military tactics in the history of war? What? They killed all of their own people? Just ignore what I said."
"The battle to seize the state has finally seen bloodshed! Good men of Qing Kingdom!"
Military scholars in Qing State were under unprecedented pressure.
Next, despite the tremendous pressure of "no enemy", they captured the entire Taihe Prefecture in one breath. All ten cities in Taihe Prefecture surrendered with great joy.
After occupying the entire Taihe Prefecture, the Qing army did not act rashly, but still divided its troops into four groups and stationed in four cities.
According to Qing Kingdom's original plan, the battle of Taihe Prefecture would last at least a month. Now it has been completely captured in just over ten days. The army should have continued the attack with great momentum, but no one dared to act rashly.
Three days later, the Qing army could no longer bear it and once again divided its troops into four groups and advanced in four directions.
The cities that had been occupied had to send large troops to garrison. Even if a city was maintained at a minimum of 10,000 garrisons, Taihe Prefecture had to leave behind 100,000 troops.
Next, the Qing army continued to advance steadily and it took them twelve days to capture Changshan Prefecture without bloodshed.
This kind of achievement should have made the Qing Kingdom overjoyed, but the four million Qing soldiers became increasingly depressed.
Even the one million Qing troops guarding the border of Xizhou and not participating in the war were in a panic, always feeling that Jing State was luring the enemy deep into their territory and that their real target was the one million troops of Xizhou.
However, the Qing army has also made some progress.
During these days, the Qing army would set up camp every evening and build the most standard camp, setting up the camp like a permanent house.
This led to a rapid improvement in the Qing soldiers' ability to dig trenches, set up camps, cut wood, and make fires and cook.
The only drawback is that the soldiers of the Qing Kingdom are a little neurasthenic. When they hear any unusual noise, they become panic-stricken and see enemies everywhere, waking up millions of people.
Although it was discovered every time that Jing Jun did not launch a sneak attack, no one dared to take it lightly.
Any mistake could cost lives.
Therefore, the nights for the four armies were never peaceful. Abnormalities often occurred, such as a flood, underground noises, camp explosions, or animals entering the camp. Accidental casualties were commonplace.
No one could tell whether it was an accident or Jingguo's trick.
Countless soldiers and generals wanted to march quickly to take over Xiangzhou in one go, but no one dared to speak up. If they were too eager to succeed and were caught by Jing's army, it would most likely cause the entire army to suffer a major defeat.
Next, the Qing army marched in an orderly manner, and wherever they went, just like before, all the cities opened their gates and surrendered.
As June approached, when all the students in Shengyuan Continent were preparing for the scholar examination, the Qing army occupied six of the ten prefectures in Xiangzhou.
This is the first army in human history that wants to fight a life-and-death battle with the enemy.
A few days later, the four armies set out again. On the way, Qing Kingdom received a letter from Jing Kingdom.
In the letter, the Jingguo Cabinet asked whether it was possible to suspend the battle to seize the state so that the students in the armies of the two countries could complete their examinations to become scholars
When the generals from all over Qing State heard the news, they almost overturned the tables.
This is a battle to seize the state, not a game of house!
When scholars from all over the human race heard the news, they all laughed like crazy.
The scholars of Jing State praised the Jing State Cabinet as a good cabinet.
Qingguo righteously rejected the request of Jingguo’s cabinet.
Therefore, the Jingguo Cabinet issued a stern letter, reprimanding the Qingguo for disregarding the future of scholars and delaying the future of students. It should stop before it is too late, otherwise it will bear the consequences.
The Qing army immediately became nervous, stopped the next action, and defended the cities.
One day, two days, three days...
The Kingdom of Jing still did not send a single soldier.
For the first time, the soldiers of Qing felt so exhausted by war.
The arrow was on the string and had to be shot. After a few days, the Qing army set out again and occupied the non-riverside city of Linjiang Prefecture bordering Yueyang Prefecture.
Linjiang Prefecture is the largest prefecture in Xiangzhou.
Linjiang Prefecture fell and Yueyang City lost its last barrier.
This ancient city was completely exposed to the Qing army.
The four inland cities closest to Yueyang City each have nearly one million troops stationed, aiming at Yueyang City.
Once Yueyang City is captured, it almost means the end of the battle to seize the state.
Yueyang City has become the most important town along the Yangtze River. Not only does it have a developed commerce, but it has also built a large number of academies. It is one of the most important cities in Jing State.
What reassures all the people of Jing and even Qing is that there is a million-strong army stationed outside Yueyang City.
The soldiers of the Qing army were extremely excited when they learned that there was a large army stationed outside Yueyang City.
Finally there is a battle to fight!
Finally, I don’t have to worry anymore!
Finally, we can teach the people of Jing a lesson!
The Qing army, from ordinary soldiers to captains, reported to their superiors at all levels, hoping to have a real battle with the Jing Kingdom. The morale was so high that it was the highest in any war in the history of the Qing Kingdom.
There were even students in the Qing army who shouted slogans about taking the scholar examination in Yueyang City.
Under the instigation of a million-strong army, the Qing Kingdom's upper echelons finally couldn't stand the pressure and decided to send out four armies to attack Yueyang City!
The day the army set out was June 12, only three days before the scholar examination on June 15.
On the evening of June 13, an army of more than three million soldiers arrived at Yueyang City!
"Attack the city overnight!"
"Charge into Yueyang City!"
"Defeat Jingguo!"
After seeing the huge army standing on the Yueyang City, the soldiers of Qing Kingdom became red-eyed.
These days are so hard!
I must kill all the people of Jing to avenge my hatred.
Just when the army of Qing State was getting excited, ten purple-robed great scholars who were on the rise in the world descended from the sky. Each of them had a strange look on their face. Some of the great scholars who had good relations with Jing State even had weird smiles on their faces.
When the ordinary soldiers saw this, they were inexplicably surprised. Wasn't it said that great scholars could not participate in the war? How did they appear in front of the two armies and fly over
However, when those high-ranking Qing generals saw this scene, they were all stunned, and then their faces showed ecstasy!
The Grand Marshal Zong Xuan, who led the army in person, spoke with thunderous voice and sent a message to the whole army: "We have won this battle. Qing is invincible! Qing will win forever. Qing is invincible!"
Soon, some educated people understood and started shouting.
Finally, the ordinary soldiers also shouted.
"Qing Kingdom will win! Qing Kingdom is invincible!"
Everyone thought that Qing Kingdom had won.
Because, these ten great scholars are the great scholars of the Holy Academy!
In the battle to seize the state, there is only one possibility for the great scholar of the Holy Academy to show up, and that is to judge one side as the loser.
The battle has not started yet, and the great scholars will appear, which means that they have reached an agreement before the battle. This kind of thing has happened in history. The gap between the two sides is too big, so the battle has not started. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the great scholars asked the semi-saints to end the battle in advance.
This will happen again.
More than three million against the one million in Yueyang City. Every soldier of Qing State is certain that victory belongs to Qing State!
What's more, Grand Marshal Zong Xuan has already said it.
