Chapter 190: The Spire
The fire eventually reduced the entire military camp to ashes, and less than 3,000 people fled from the flames, and under the frantic pursuit of Li Zhi and others, less than 1,000 people finally saved their lives.
When they fled back to the capital, the entire kingdom of Melika fell into mourning, how many years have their country not killed so many soldiers at one time, the total number of soldiers in their kingdom is only 120,000, this time the loss is one-sixth, I don't know how many orphans and widows appeared in the kingdom overnight, as well as the parents who lost their sons, after the grief is out of anger.
"Damn the Berians, so ungentlemanly, actually attacked our army at night, and even set fire to people, they all deserve to die, please send troops quickly, destroy this group of shameless guys, and let their blood wash away the shame of our kingdom's army."
Under the anger of the people, the king naturally had to obey the people's will, otherwise the angry people would directly kill him, the king.
Mericha, who has always regarded himself as a great power, never imagined that his soldiers would die so many people overnight, which is something that has not happened for many years.
After this fire, they felt that their bodies and minds were being pressed to the ground and severely insulted.
How can such a shame be tolerated by a great power, and such hatred is not washed away with the blood of the enemy, and what else can be used to wash it.
But this humiliation was only the beginning, in the next two days, seven or eight of the ministers of the Kingdom of Melika were assassinated in their own homes in a row, and even the king's beloved son was cut off an arm, and the king's anger soared to the sky, eager to fly directly to Beria and kill the other king's sword to avenge his beloved son.
Taken together, the king sternly ordered all departments to prepare for a full-scale attack in two days, and he was to lead a large army into Beria to avenge the death of his soldiers and ministers, as well as his own son, who had lost an arm, and to show the Berians how serious the consequences of angering the lion of Melika were.
The Berians, who were the enemies of the Melicans, knew nothing about it, and the 20,000 troops on the border of Beria thought that the Merecans had done something to anger God when the camp on the other side suddenly caught fire that night, so God sent down a sea of fire to punish them.
One side is the same enemy, and the other side is unprepared, and in this case, Beria is destined to pay a heavy price in the two countries that are not much different in strength.
In a manor in the capital of Meliga, Li Zhi, Cheng Chuliang and others were drinking wine deliciously, while talking about how angry the Melijia people were.
"Your Highness, you are ruthless enough, and the people of Melica will take revenge on the Berians in the anger of hatred, but the Berians are simply unjustified, and all of this is controlled behind your back, Your Cunning Fox."
For Cheng Chuliang to compare himself to a cunning fox, Li Zhi directly chose to ignore it, anyway, this guy always can't spit out ivory in his mouth, if he cares about that life every day, it will be too boring, of course, occasionally when he is in a bad mood, he will easily sound something, and then replace Cheng Demon King to pick up his unreliable son.
The only thing Li Zhi is thinking about now is how to make Melika pay a heavy price after he hits Beria hard, even if he doesn't let his whole army be annihilated, then at least two-thirds of his army must be tossed, only in this way can Karunu have enough confidence to immediately use troops against the two countries after annexing Cruise, so as to achieve the goal of destroying the two countries in a war.
If he wants to inflict a heavy blow on 100,000 troops at once, even if Li Mi makes a move, he must take advantage of the geographical advantage, otherwise he will not be able to do this at all, so he must now have an understanding of the topography of the two countries, find a suitable place, and give the people of Meliga a big surprise.
Two days later, the mighty army of Megari set out from the capital of the country, and marched at the speed of a rapid march towards the border, although Melika and Beria were two great powers, but their area was not much larger, and it took only a day and a half for 100,000 troops to appear on the border between the two countries.
The army of Megari, who had come with a vengeful heart, did not even rest, and rushed directly to the camp of 20,000 men in Beria opposite.
For the sudden arrival of the Megarian army, not to mention that the Berians were unprepared at all, and even if they were prepared, they were ready to flee, so when they found that the Megarian army was coming with hateful eyes, the soldiers did not have time to think about anything else, so they scattered and fled outside the barracks, without even having time to report to their general.
The second generation of officials of the Tang Dynasty who watched this scene in mid-air were collectively dumbfounded, they had never seen an army as bold as a rabbit, and when they saw the enemy, they actually fled, which was simply a shame for the soldiers.
The camp of 20,000 men was broken in less than a quarter of an hour by the army of Melika, and when they saw the enemy fleeing in front of them, the Megarians had a hideous smile on their faces, and brandished their weapons in their hands, and pursued them as if they were hunting their prey, while the longbowmen ran and aimed their bows and arrows at the deserters in front of them to shoot at the deserters in the Beria in front of them.
In less than a day under the sweep of 100,000 troops, seven or eight cities in Beria fell one by one, and the army of Melika, who came with a vengeful heart, directly carried out a terrible massacre in these cities, and men, women, children, and even Berians became the souls of their swords.
When the bad news reached the capital of Beria, the king's ministers were dumbfounded, wondering what kind of madness the Melicans were doing, and why they suddenly came in.
But now was clearly not the time to think about it, and the king issued an emergency mobilization order, mobilizing the troops near the capital to quickly assemble and then rush to the front.
There is one thing that Belia cannot compare with Melika, that is, Melika can come out of the nest, but they can't, because there is another country in the south of Beria, and this country has always been full of malice towards Beria, if he knew that the army of Beria was pouring out, then he would definitely take the opportunity to invade the territory of Beria and burn and plunder, just as the Berians used to treat them as they did.
During their honeymoon period, the Berians and the Melicans naturally did not have to worry about the small country in their eyes, but after the Melicans went crazy, Beria had to take this effect into account.
