"Universally !!"

As a warrior, Pu Tiancheng, who naturally knew the three major generals of his powerful neighbors, really did it.

The cavalry scattered all over the mountains swept over the empty fields like locusts, and the grain in the fields that had entered the late autumn season had already been harvested, which was the best battlefield for the cavalry.

Before he could say anything, with the shaking of the sturdy horses and the dazzling blades, the fierce-faced and heavily armed horsemen of the Maqi Khan quickly approached, and immediately several patrolling soldiers of the Kingdom of Jemerlot were drowned in the swarming waves of the cavalry of the Maqi Khanate, and there was no trace of it.

In the early morning of May 18, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the Macede Khanate launched a surprise attack on its southwestern neighbors Ankun City and Jemelo Kingdom under the cover of the visit of its diplomatic mission.

On the night of May 21, the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, Ya Ning, the general of Zhenguo, led an army of 100,000 to conquer Ankun City, and Count Lopez, the lord of Ankun City, led the entire army and people of the city to surrender.

On May 23, the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, Pu Tiancheng, the general of Dingguo, led an army of 100,000 to conquer Dingxiangcheng, a major town in the northeast of the Kingdom of Jemero, and the Dingxiang defender Chiriki was killed in battle. Subsequently, Pu Tiancheng and the army led by some Yaning, who led the part of the army that came to converge, completed the siege of Jemei City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jemero, on May 25, and launched a fierce siege battle.

On May 27, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the army of the Macederan Khanate captured the city of Jemy, and the king of the Kingdom of Jemero, Mantenis II, would rather die than give in and commit suicide. This is what later history calls the famous "Lightning Project", lightning means "surprise". This raid also became a classic example of successful raids that the cadets of military academies of various countries on the continent must learn in later generations, and it took less than ten days to capture a country.

Pu Tiancheng felt his steadfastness and treated his family well. His body and family members were all moved to Sanglin City, and Biheli Khan personally presided over a grand burial ceremony for Mantenis II, and Lei Juetian wrote an inscription for him. Except for Princess Sophia, the eldest daughter of Caymantenis, whose whereabouts are unknown due to her travels, the rest of the royal family members are stranded in the city of Sanglin, and the kingdom of Jemerlot, which has been around for more than 300 years, has officially declared its demise.

Without warning, the 200,000-strong army of Maqi Khan, led by two famous generals, launched a surprise attack on the neighboring state with lightning speed. In just ten days, he incorporated two neighboring states into his territory. And the surrounding powers did not even have time to react, and could only watch as the army of Maqi Khan wreaked havoc on the lands of the neighboring countries.

On June 2, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, Nottingham, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Macedan Khanate, arrived in the capital of the Great Qin Empire, called on Prime Minister Ye Xianggao, informed the basic situation of the military action taken by the Macede Khanate against its southwestern neighbor, and explained the reasons for the military action, hoping to obtain the understanding and support of the Great Qin Empire.

The Great Qin Empire had only recently learned of the news of the Maqi Khanate's large-scale military operations against its neighbors, and it was not clear about the specific situation. On the one hand, Ye Xianggao expressed strong indignation at the Macede Khanate's blatant contempt for the existence of the Great Qin Empire, and on the other hand, he also strongly protested against the Maqi Khanate's behavior of ignoring international conventions, trampling on the relevant agreements of sovereign states, and adopting despicable means to carry out sneak attacks, and demanded that the Macedan Khanate immediately stop its military aggression, immediately return to the original borders of various countries, and resolve the disputes between the two countries through guò political and diplomatic means.

Nottingham said that he could not accept it, and at the same time sincerely expressed his unwillingness to affect the healthy friendly relations between the two countries because of this incident. Ye Xianggao said that the matter is big. It must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor before it can be determined. The two parted happily.

On June 3, the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse, the Kingdom of Milan, the countries of the South Seas Alliance, the Grand Duchy of Mahad, and the Duchy of Andako, through their own diplomatic departments, lodged the strongest protest to the envoys of the Macede Khanate, demanding that the Macedan immediately cease its military operations and adopt other means to resolve the contradictions between the states.

King Louis XI of the Kingdom of Milan issued a national mobilization order, declaring a state of emergency in the country and calling up reservists to join the army. He also sent the Royal First Cavalry Infantry Mixed Corps to quickly move to the border with the Macederan Khanate, and the Royal Second Infantry Corps also quickly entered a state of readiness and assembled in the direction of the capital.

At the same time, the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Milan made an urgent visit to the Great Qin Empire to discuss the deteriorating grim situation in the southern part of the Eastern Continent.

The small neighboring states to the west of the Macedian Khanate were even more frightened, and they did not dare to openly protest against the Macedian Khanate, fearing that it would anger the Macedian Khanate. On the one hand, they hoped to seek the intervention of the empire to stop the invasion and expansion of the Macedan Khanate through diplomatic means, and on the other hand, they also hoped to obtain help from other local powers with strong military power adjacent to them.

On June 10, the 16th year of the Apocalypse, the imperial court of the Great Qin Empire held an emergency court meeting to discuss the invasion of the Ankun city-state and the kingdom of Jemero by the southern neighbor Macedhanate.

"At present, Lopez, the lord of Ankun City, has surrendered, the entire territory of the Jemelo Kingdom has fallen, and the Maqi Khans have occupied Ankun City and the Jemelo Kingdom."

Zhang Delong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, seemed a little lacking in confidence, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Why is our intelligence service so sluggish? The Macedhans carried out such a large-scale military operation and we were unaware of it? What the hell are you doing? Every year you shout about lack of funds and lack of personnel, but see for yourself, what kind of work have you done? Even I blush for you! ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhao Youxiao, was obviously very angry about this matter, although the military action of the Maqi Khanate was aimed at other countries, but as a major power in the Eastern Continent, it was indeed unreasonable to know about such a big action in advance.

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, and Li Ye, the soldier in charge of intelligence, lowered his head, and several cabinet elders also felt that their faces were very uncomfortable.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for collecting, collating and analyzing the political, economic, diplomatic, military, ethnic, religious, cultural and other aspects of intelligence of the countries on the continent, while the Ministry of War is mainly responsible for the collection and collation of military intelligence of the countries on the mainland, focusing on the countries that have close relations with the empire in the eastern continent and the military intelligence that endangers the security of the empire.

Due to the positive measures taken by the Maqi Khanate to ease relations with the Great Qin Empire in the early stage, there was a short honeymoon period in the relations between the two countries, and a large number of elite troops of the Maqi Khan originally stationed in the border area with the empire were withdrawn, and only a few regular troops were retained, which greatly reduced the military pressure of the empire in the south.

However, the two major feudal towns in the north and west of the empire and the two major feudal towns in the country acted abnormally, attracting a lot of energy from the intelligence services of the empire, coupled with the strict secrecy measures adopted by the Maceden Khanate, and the use of diplomatic means as a cover before the war, which distracted the vigilance and attention of various countries, and finally succeeded in hiding the eyes of the intelligence organizations of the surrounding countries.

"Alas~~, why are you dumb? Aren't you all gushing in the morning? Zhao Youxiao continued to ridicule His Highness's ministers in a contemptuous tone.

Seeing that the words had already been said to this, Ye Xianggao really couldn't sit still, and he stubbornly stepped out to play: "Qi Xi, the minister has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, please punish His Majesty." ”

Seeing Ye asking Gao Du to plead guilty, Zhang Delong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Li Ye, the squire of the Ministry of War, also hurriedly went out to ask His Majesty the Emperor to punish him. Zhao Youxiao took a breath and slowly sat back on the throne, "I'll talk about your punishment later, let's talk about how to deal with the current grim situation first." ”

Seeing that His Majesty's tone gradually softened, His Royal Highness's ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhang Delong, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, you can tell me your opinion first."

Zhao Youxiao looked at Zhang Delong very unhappily and said, if it weren't for this Zhang Delong's daughter being his favorite concubine, Zhao Youxiao would have the heart to kill him now.

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, this military operation of the Maqi Khans should have been planned for a long time. They deliberately befriended our country in the early stage, vigorously improved relations with our country, and at the same time transferred military forces to other regions, this should be a major adjustment of the strategic direction, by no means a whim, the minister judged that they would continue to use troops against the surrounding small cities and city-states, this is not only a challenge to the authority of our Great Qin Empire, but also the biggest scourge of the Eastern Continent falling into war, the minister believes that effective measures must be taken to stop its bold and reckless actions, otherwise the prestige of our Great Qin Empire will be greatly damaged, And it will also fuel the arrogance of the Maqi Khans. ”

Zhang Delong's words immediately won the approval of most of the ministers present, and they all nodded in support of Ye Xianggao's opinion.

Zhao Youxiao also nodded, "Zhao Aiqing, talk about your opinion." ”

"Chen's view is similar to that of Lord Zhang. The Maqi Khans made careful preparations for this military operation in advance, and not only concealed it from the target country, but also kept the surrounding countries, including China, in the dark. ”

"Although the city of Ankun is not large, it is rich in copper resources, and the occupation of this place by the Maqi Khans will greatly promote its industrial development, and it will also have immeasurable financial support for the state. Most of the territory of the Kingdom of Jemero belongs to the plains, and the territory is not only suitable for the cavalry operations of the Maqi Khans, but the most important thing is that it is an important grain-producing area in the southern part of the Eastern Continent. ”

"Everyone knows that although the Maqikhans are descendants of nomadic peoples, a considerable number of their people have gradually adapted to agricultural life, the country's demand for food is quite large, and the central part of its territory is desert, and the desert is surrounded by grasslands and forests, and only the north is close to our country and their eastern and southern border areas have suitable land for cultivation, and their population has increased rapidly in the past ten years, and the economy has developed rapidly, but the food problem has never been solved, Every year, we have to import a large amount of grain from our Great Qin Empire and other surrounding countries, which is also the main reason why the Maqi Khanate has always been eyeing the Wuhu County of our Great Qin Empire. ”

"In this case, this action of the Machihans is necessary." The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked. (To be continued......)
