Chapter 370: Soldiers in the Canopy

In this battle, Zhang Han did not hesitate to help, and the defenders of each city were captured and killed by Zhang Han first, taking advantage of the enemy's chaos to suppress the fire with domineering tricks, and finally the cavalry corps charged into the city and harvested the endgame.

Zhang Han really showed the world what it means to be a strong warrior.

If he wanted to, he could even easily destroy a city by himself, but fortunately, in order to hone the combat power of the army, he didn't do it.

......

"Report ......"

In the palace hall of the Tianpeng Kingdom, the emperor Qiu Chao was discussing urgently with the two ministers, and the anxious voice of the sergeant suddenly came from outside the main hall.

"Your Majesty, the border pass is urgent, Li Cunxiao, the general of the Huolin Legion of the Great Zhou Kingdom, has entered the territory of the Tianpeng Kingdom with an army of 200,000 troops, ready to attack my Tianpeng Kingdom! Youyun County is currently in great danger!"

"What?"

The emperor Qiu Tongbai, the prime minister Zhong Wanda, and the general Ye Tianyuan in the main hall were all shocked!

In fact, they already knew that the war between the Tianpeng Kingdom and the Great Zhou Empire had just ended, and the Tianpeng Kingdom, which ended in a crushing defeat, would definitely be retaliated against by the Great Zhou, so they would gather here to discuss countermeasures.

It's just that they didn't expect that Da Zhou would take the initiative to call the door, which is really arrogant.

"Let him in!" Qiu Tongbai shouted to the guards outside the main hall.

He was a little panicked, as an emperor who had just grasped great power, before the government was stable, there would be a large army to attack.

At this time, he was really a little flustered.

"Your Majesty!" the old prime minister, Zhong Wanda, saw that Qiu Tongbai was slightly flustered, and shouted to remind him.

Qiu Tongbai also realized his gaffe, took a deep breath, and suppressed his flustered heart.

He is the emperor of the Tianpeng Kingdom, and it would be a shame if he panicked.

"Whew!"

Exhaling deeply, Qiu Tongbai suddenly felt much better, he looked at Zhong Wanda and smiled flatly: "Old Prime Minister Zhong, I'm fine!"

Zhong Wanda nodded, but in fact, he was disdainful in his heart, he knew that Qiu Tongbai was just pretending to be calm now, but in fact, he was panicking.

The sergeant outside the hall quickly ran in, sweating profusely and kneeling on the ground.

"Tell me, what's going on over there in Youyun County?" Qiu Tongbai asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, two days ago, the county lord of Youyun County went out to check the border, and accidentally found that the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou Empire had arrived under the county town of Youyun County, and the lord of Youyun County led 20,000 guards to defend the city and did not retreat, but the combat effectiveness of the Great Zhou army was too strong, not only did the county lose in one day, but even other towns in the county were occupied one after another, the county lord, the county lord he ...... Woowoo woo ......"

As he spoke, the sergeant burst into tears.

Qiu Tongbai's face was ugly, he didn't expect things to be worse than he thought, but he still said in a deep voice: "What are you crying about?

"Your Majesty, the county lord has been captured and killed by one of the enemy generals, he ...... He...... Woowoo woo ......"

The sergeant cried again as he spoke.

Lord Youyun, dead!

Qiu Tong Bai took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly.

He was not angry at the dead county lord, but shocked by the thunderous offensive of the Great Zhou, and trembling at the strength of the Great Zhou generals.

The county lord of Youyun County, one of the few Wuhou realm county lords in the Tianpeng Kingdom, is extremely powerful.

In addition, Youyun County was originally a border county, and the soldiers in the county were extremely strong in combat, but even so, they still did not stop the Great Zhou army, not even a day.

Even the county lord was captured and killed!

"Your Majesty, please send troops to rescue the people of Youyun County!" the sergeant knelt on the ground and cried loudly.

"I know that I will immediately send troops to rescue Youyun County, you go down first and stay well!"

For Qiu Tongbai, the life or death of the people of Youyun County is not important at all, he is concerned that the loss of Youyun County will threaten the safety of the capital, because Youyun County is the most important barrier of the Tianpeng Kingdom.

After letting the eunuch leave with this sergeant, Qiu Tongbai stared at Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan, and said in a deep voice: "Tell me, what should I do about this matter?"

"I don't need to listen to your nonsense, I just want to hear how to get Da Zhou to withdraw his troops at all costs. ”

For Qiu Tong Bai, the throne is greater than everything!

The reputation of the land can be lost, but the throne and glory that belong to him must not be lost.

Zhong Wanda and Ye Tianyuan glanced at each other, and they both saw a wry smile in each other's eyes.

They naturally heard the subtext of Qiu Tongbai, it is really a misfortune for the country to have such an emperor.

After a slight sigh, Zhong Wanda took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, this new emperor of the Great Zhou is an ambitious person, plus our army has just lost 400,000 people, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to negotiate peace. ”

"Therefore, we must be prepared to face the enemy head-on, the total number of troops in the vicinity of the imperial capital is less than 200,000, and the combat strength is only about 100,000, so we must plan carefully!"

"If the number of people is not enough, the ordinary people will be requisitioned to defend the city, and then, let the garrisons from all over the country send troops to Qin Wang, in short, the emperor must defend it!" Qiu Tongbai said sharply

"This ......"

Conscripting the people as soldiers, this is a move to lose the hearts of the people, but looking at the ruthless look on Qiu Tongbai's face, it is obvious that he has made up his mind, what else can they say?

"Your Majesty, the source of conscription and mobilization is one thing, and we must also make a good battle plan, only in this way can we be invincible!" Ye Tianyuan said respectfully.

"You say!"

"Now, the first thing we need to do is to figure out how many troops the Great Zhou Empire will send this time, which is very important!" Ye Tianyuan said in a deep voice.

"You go down and settle this matter, I'll give you three days!" Qiu Tongbai ordered.

"Yes, within three days, the minister will definitely find out!"

Ye Tianyuan continued: "In addition, we must also reserve sufficient grain and grass in case the imperial capital is really besieged, and there is a food shortage crisis in the city. ”

Qiu Tongbai raised his head and stared at Zhong Wanda, and said, "No matter what method you use, I want you to ensure that there is no problem with the grain and grass in the imperial capital, can you do it?"

Looking at the cold light in Qiu Tongbai's eyes, Zhong Wanda said helplessly: "Chenneng can!"

"Good!"

Qiu Tongbai looked at Ye Tianyuan again and said, "The problem of grain and grass has been solved, what are the problems?"

Ye Tianyuan shook his head, but Zhong Wanda said, "Your Majesty, for such a big matter, we still have to look at the opinions of the ministers!"

Qiu Tongbai frowned slightly, but still said: "Inform the minister, within half an hour, go to the court!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, in the Jinluan Palace, the minister arrived.

They looked at Qiu Tongbai sitting on the dragon chair, and their faces were full of strangeness, they didn't understand that it was not long before they went to court today, why did they suddenly have to go to court again?

Qiu Tongbai looked at the ministers below, and said with a gloomy face: "Half an hour ago, I received news that the 200,000 troops of the Great Zhou are already on the border, ministers, tell me your opinion!"
