Chapter 577: Route to the Capital
Mo Yulieto listened to the opposition of the ministers in his ears, and knew that these old old men would not agree, so he did not discuss with them.
After listening to a cup of tea, the minister was still chattering, and he was a little annoyed, "Shut up!"
The officials hurriedly stopped, but their eyes were full of disapproval.
Mo Yulie said expressionlessly: "Now that Li Shuai is not here, and Huo Jianghao is defeated by Qin Yi, then you should find a general for me who can repel Qin Yi!"
Baiguan, you look at me, I look at you, a minister took two steps forward, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, my foreign country is full of heroic and capable generals, and I will definitely be able to find someone who repels Qin Yi, and the county lord must not enter the military camp, and the rules since ancient times cannot be broken!"
One after another, ministers stepped forward and gave their hands.
"Please think twice and take back the holy decree!"
"Please think twice!"
Mo Yulie got up and stepped down the steps, he stood in front of those officials who gave up, "Then Chen Aiqing, you go to the north?"
"The Emperor... Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent......"
"Heh, then Liu Aiqing, are you going?"
"Minister...... The minister is incompetent..."
Mo Yulie said lightly: "Zhong Aiqing also knows that he is incompetent? It is not easy! You sit in the palace and enjoy peace, you can't do this and that, you can know that it is the soldiers who fought bloodily to defend the frontier, protect the Mo country and protect the people! Do you know?!"
"Minister... The ministers are clear...... Can ......"
Before the minister could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Yulie: "Do you know? Then you should also know that the night army attacked the city for three days, fought viciously for three days and three nights, and in the end there were only 110,000 soldiers left, but do you know that just this morning, it was Leping who led 110,000 soldiers to fight a bloody battle with the 500,000 or 600,000 army of the night army on a high slope! If it weren't for Leping and his soldiers risking their lives to fight, kill half of the night army, and kill Qin Yi, Fangcheng would have been lost this morning! Heh, if I hadn't told you, you would have known, and you would have wanted to know what Leping had done!
The minister listened to Mo Yulie's angry words, and they were stunned in place, surprised, happy and shocked in their hearts, saying this, now Qin Yi has been killed, and the county lord has taken Zichuan City with his men and horses?!
After a long defeat, now that they heard the good news, the officials were overjoyed, but when they thought of the battle of the high slope, they were silent.
110,000 people fought against the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops, and in the end, only more than 9,000 soldiers remained, which shows the fierceness and cruelty of that war, and the county lord is afraid that it is the line of life and death.
After hearing Mo Yulie's words, they didn't know what to say or what to oppose.
As the emperor said, they sat in the capital and did not suffer from war, and it was the county lord who defended the territory and fought against the enemy, and it was the county lord who was on the line of life and death, not them.
They no longer have any right or right to object.
Looking at the calm faces, Mo Yulie said loudly: "Who else is against Leping being handsome!"
The hundred officials bowed down one after another: "The ministers have no objections." ”
Mo Yulie's face softened, and he sat back on the dragon chair, "There is one more thing, in today's battle of Gaopo, the people led by Mo Shuai were almost wiped out, and at the critical juncture, the three children of the Wulin League led 100,000 knights to help, and I will always remember this great kindness." ”
"Remember, Ministers. ”
"Well, quit. Mo Yulie glanced down, Ling Xiang has been bedridden since the girl went to the south, let's go see him later, and tell him about this by the way.
sighed, but I don't know if Ling Xiang's old couple can accept this matter.
The hundred officials knelt down and finished saluting, and successively left the Jinluan Palace, talking about a few things in the court, and they had not recovered from the surprise of taking Zichuan City and the stunned feeling of being handsome with Mo Ling.
But no one objected to Mo Ling as the commander anymore.

North, Night Country, Zichuan City
After sleeping all afternoon, the soldiers woke up one after another, and the food soldiers had already prepared a celebration wine and waited for the soldiers.
But when they came out of the door of the rest place and saw the smoke in the direction of the square, they were stunned and hurried towards that side, thinking that it was a fire and wanted to put out the fire.
I didn't think about it, but I saw a disgusting scene, the captives in the square, piled up in layers and piled up into a hill, I don't know whether they were dead or alive, they were burned in the fire, some of them couldn't see their faces clearly, and some of them had been burned into a pile of black coal.
The smell of choking came into his ears, and the soldier pinched his nose and asked the person next to him, but he knew what was going on.
An insider said: "You are sleeping in the afternoon, Mo Shuai asked Miss Xiaowen to make a poison, and after the poison is eaten, she will die with tears on her face and happiness, as if it is called happiness poison." After making it, Mo Shuai asked the soldiers who were not asleep to put the poison in the bucket, and then moved it to the square and poured it into the prisoners to drink, and the prisoners died after a while, and then we piled up the corpses, and finally there was the scene you saw. Hmph, it's really a cheap night army, they should be cut by a thousand knives to solve the hatred in their hearts!"
"That's it, it's really cheap for them!"
"I see, alas, why am I sleeping, I wouldn't sleep if I knew it, I could have poured poisonous water myself to avenge my dead friend!"
"By the way, Mo Shuai, why didn't you see her. ”
"She, General Jin and the Divine Machine, they went to the land of high slopes, cremated their dead comrades, and took wine to pay tribute, we also wanted to go with us, but Mo Shuai said that we should stay in Zichuan City to avoid the sudden attack of the night army, and she said that she would pay tribute on her behalf. This should be back soon. ”
"Whew...... I thought that today was in a catastrophe, and we were ready to sacrifice, how could I want to kill a group of heroes to support, fortunately but also unfortunately, we are alive, but our brothers are glorious. ”
"Alas, okay brother, don't think about it, now is not the time to miss your comrades-in-arms, tomorrow night Qianze will definitely receive the news, and will definitely come to attack the city, since we are alive, we must follow Mo Shuai with her to kill the capital of the Night Country with her, take off the head of the night Qianze, and return the world to a peace! ”
After Mo Ling went to pay tribute to the dead soldiers, he went to Fangcheng again and told the wounded soldiers in the city who were unwilling to transfer that this victory was over.
The soldiers hid their faces and wept together, crying for the capture of Zichuan City, and at the same time crying for their dead comrades.
When she and Ah Jin returned to Zichuan City, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
The city of Zichuan was brightly lit, and 110,000 people gathered in an open space, drinking and laughing to their heart's content, celebrating today's victory.
Mo Ling and her companions also celebrated with the soldiers, she took the wine jug and solemnly saluted the three brothers three times, "Don't say much, it's all in the wine." ”
"Hahaha, refreshing!"
"Come on, come on, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time, but I'm going to have a good time this time. ”
Mo Ling shook his head and said, "Until the point is reached, when the world is stable, I will definitely have a good time." ”
Xie Jiahe took a sip of wine and sighed: "The world is stable, I don't know what year and month it will take, and I don't know how many people will have to be sacrificed to end the war." Mo Ling, you are now handsome, with your temperament must not be able to listen, but I still want to say a few words, I don't know when the war will end, you don't know when you can return to the capital, your relatives, your little feather, little rhino must be worried about you, why not unload this burden, return to the capital to meet them, this heavy responsibility should not be shouldered by you. ”
Mo Ling muttered: "Boss, when I went to the southern border, I was ready to fight for the rest of my life, even if it takes ten or twenty years to end the war, I will continue to fight." At first, it was to avenge my parents, but when I was on the battlefield and watched the night army attacking the city again and again, I inexplicably had a responsibility in my heart, I should guard the border pass, I should fight for the strange country, and I should also end the war. I don't know why it was happening, but I knew I had to take on the responsibility. ”
Xie Jiahe patted her on the shoulder, "Since you're ready, I won't do much, come, drink." ”
Xie Xing squeezed between the two, "That's it, that's it, what are you talking about, now you just need to drink!"
The celebration wine ended at about ten o'clock, and except for the soldiers who defended the city, everyone else gradually fell asleep in the resting place.
Mo Ling, Ah Jin, Bai Yixuan, Chu Zijin, and several generals did not sleep, and discussed military affairs in their resting place.
She opened the map of the territory distribution of the Night Kingdom, "Taking Zichuan City today is just the first breakthrough to the capital of the Night Kingdom, the territory of the Night Country is very wide, and the cities are densely spread over countless counts, if they are broken one by one, I don't know how much time it will take." ”
She said and drew on the city, "I thought carefully in the afternoon, the next city of Zichuan City is Dechang City, if you break Dechang City, on the way from the north to the west, to the capital of the Night Kingdom, there are a total of forty-six cities, although this line is far away, and it turns around, but it is the road to the capital, the least number of cities to attack. You can also attack directly in a straight line, but you have to pass through more than 100 cities on the way, and I have also thought about other routes, either the routes are too far apart, or there are many cities on the route, and then there are cities that are densely spaced, if you fight the enemy army support is very fast, and the north to west route of Dechang City is all the routes I have considered, all aspects are relatively good, you see, what doubts do you have. ”
Everyone looked carefully around the map, and indeed the route that Mo Shuai said was relatively good.
They don't have the time to break the city one by one, marching and fighting is different from hurrying, there is no worry on the way, if you hurry up and whip a few people in just seven or eight days, you can rush from the border to the capital.
The number of supporting troops is large, not all of them have horses, and it takes a long time, even if there is little time to rest day and night, it will take at least half a month to arrive.
The march is even worse, the soldiers must conserve their physical strength, they must have enough physical strength to resist the sudden attack of the enemy, and they must travel slowly, it generally takes two or three days from one city to the next, and some are like Fangcheng and Lincheng, the distance is very close, and it can be reached in only a few hours, but if it is far away, it will take at least six or seven days.
Again, attacking a city, if you attack a city that is not difficult to attack, it will be faster, if it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't think about taking it in a few days.
They still speculated according to Mo Shuai's command, and they were still talking about a fast siege time, like other countries, ordinary sieges, and it took a month or two, or even a few months, to capture abound.
Therefore, there is no time to attack one by one, so you can only choose shortcuts.
And if you choose Mo Shuai's line, not to mention the rush time, just say that all the siege time adds up, and the forecast will be nearly a year.
And that route is relatively remote, the cities are far apart, if you add the rush time, it will take more than two years to kill the capital.
This is still a good guess, if the road is attacked by enemy troops, or the enemy army stubbornly resists during the siege, it will add more days.
Good speculation and bad prediction, to put it bluntly, choose this line to attack the capital, predict that it will take two and a half years.
