Chapter 180: The End
The two Dou Kings left, the Scorpion Biyan was killed in battle, and the strong men of the Izumo rebel fleet were lost.
In a panic, they hurriedly withdrew their 10,000 troops ashore and swam up to their previous station.
I did not order the pursuit, firstly because we did not have enough ships, and secondly, when the Izumo Imperial Family threw themselves on me, the balance of victory of the whole battle was already tilted in my favor.
Now that we have won strategically, the tactical petty fights are irrelevant.
We rested in Qicheng for a few days, and at the same time, I sent a message back to Anyuan City and contacted Yuemei to inform her of the surrender of the Izumo Imperial Family.
Soon, the war between the snake people and the Izumo Empire froze, and the two armies faced each other from afar, no longer fighting each other.
And the follow-up reinforcements of the snake people also arrived in Qianqidu soon. There were 300,000 people in this huge sweep, and it took several days and nights just to cross the Qianqi crossing.
Subsequently, the Qilin Department left all the wounded and 20,000 snake men to garrison Qianqidu, and the remaining about 50,000 snake men, plus 300,000 snake men reinforcements, and 40,000 Holy Sword Knights, a total of 400,000 troops began to move south.
With the Knights of the Holy Sword as the vanguard, coupled with the appeal of the Izumo Imperial Family, the castles in the eastern border of Izumo along the way are almost all handed down.
Even if there are really disciples of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Centipede Heavenly Mansion who are stubbornly defending a few cities, in front of the mighty army, they will only hit the stone with an egg!
However, in just over a month, the entire Izumo East Territory rebels were either killed or surrendered, and the Izumo East Territory returned to the control of the Izumo Imperial Family.
And the so-called "Dawn Empire" has also lost its biggest source of logistical baggage.
Relying on the occupied areas of the Gama Empire alone, they may be able to collect enough food and grass, but it is difficult for them to replenish things such as armor and ordnance. As the Great War progresses, their armaments will get worse and worse.
On this day, the sun was shining, and in a brightly lit room in a castle in the eastern part of Izumo, I looked down at the sand table on my table, which gathered all the information about the entire battle situation.
The 700,000 people of the "Dawn Empire" have been surrounded in the eastern border of Gama.
To the north, there are 250,000 northern legions led by Nalan Ji, eyeing the tiger; To the west, there were 200,000 defeated troops gathered by Mu Tie, plus 80,000 reinforcements from the Gama Empire, a total of 280,000 people relying on the defense line formed by the Yique Mountain Range, which was as stable as Mount Tai; To the east, it is natural to recapture the nearly 400,000 troops of our army that has left the eastern border of Yundong, and they are full of spirit.
To the south, there is the Black Corner Domain. There is chaos there, there are countless strong people, and if you go in with an ordinary army, you are simply killing yourself.
I looked down at the sand table and thought to myself. It's not thinking about the battle situation, this battle has already been won strategically, and even if the "Dawn Empire" wins a few battles, it is only a tactical victory.
How difficult is it to win a strategic victory through tactical victory?
I was thinking about it after the war, and there were only two sides of the Gama Empire and the Snake Clan, but I didn't expect the Izumo Imperial Family to come down......
After the war, how should the territory of the Izumo Empire be divided?
In other words, how to balance the forces of the various parties?
Counting carefully, the Yunlan Sect, the Gama Royal Family, the Nalan Family, the Mu Family, the Mitre Family, the Izumo Imperial Family, the Poison Sect, and the Snake Human Clan, unknowingly gathered forces from all directions beside me.
If I can't balance their forces and interests well, there will be contradictions and fights between them...... and even civil strife.
And if I can balance it well and act as the one who shares the cake, I will naturally be able to generate prestige among them and make them use it for me!
It's just that......
I scratched my head hard, and a sense of irritability arose in my heart, and I cursed in my heart, trouble, too troublesome!
I've deduced many ways in my mind, but I still can't take care of everyone. It's too much effort to balance the forces of the eight directions.
I let out a long sigh, and at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and I called, and the door was pushed open, revealing a female snake man, but it was a beggar.
She is no longer the main general of the snake people, as many as 350,000 snake people's army, Yuemei does not dare to hand over her command, but is in charge of the fighting king Mobas, so she is also a lot more leisurely.
She swam in, walked around the room, looked at the sand table again, and talked to me a few words about the war, and finally said:
"Mobas has just asked me to lead an army to attack a pass in the southeast."
Is this here to say goodbye?
I was stunned, it seems that the war is going on, and the snake people are going to divide their troops.
It's just this difference, I'm afraid we won't see each other until the war is over. It is even possible that after the war is over, we will still be busy with the affairs at hand and will not see each other.
I didn't know what to say for a while, but I smiled and said, "Mobas let you lead the army alone, but also to exercise your ability. Hopefully, the next time we meet, you'll be able to take on the position of leader of the Serpent Tribe. ”
As soon as she raised her eyebrows, the cyan snake tail gently slapped the floor, and said displeasedly, "Am I not worthy of being this leader now?" ”
I spread my hands and didn't say anything. She looked down at the sand table, was silent for a moment, and said, "I'm leaving." ”
After saying that, she turned to leave, the cyan snake tail writhing gently on the floor, and the red dragon scale light armor on her body made a subtle grinding sound.
I hesitated, hurried after her, grabbed her right hand, stuffed a jade bottle, and said, "This is for you." ”
She looked down at the jade bottle and asked, "What is this?" ”
"The elixir used for cultivation, I see that your cultivation has been stuck in the Nine-Star Dou Ling, and it may be able to help you break through to the Dou King."
This elixir was naturally exchanged for it from Xun'er with the Qinglian Earth Heart Fire. Just in case, I asked for several pills of each type, and it wouldn't be in the way to give her one.
She shook the jade bottle, turned her hand into the ring, smiled at me, and said, "You Terrans are still rich." ”
This time, she was really gone. I walked under the eaves and watched her go away, and finally disappeared behind the door.
I didn't see her again for the next three months. Because the final decisive battle has begun.
During these three months, the Mu Tie Department held the defense line of the Yique Mountain Range, while the Mobas Department and the Nalan Ji Department began to attack the "Dawn Empire" in a big way.
Because of the Izumo Imperial Family, the so-called "Dawn Empire" army was seriously shaken and demoralized, and from time to time there were cities that surrendered without a fight, and many troops surrendered in formation.
But the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and Wutianfu are not vegetarians, and soon, they will send their disciples to monitor a famous general, and even directly poison and control them.
But doing so will not save much of the situation. Especially with the little doctor fairy, she can easily get rid of the poison in the bodies of those generals who have been poisoned by the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and Wutianfu, and after the news spread, it made the generals of the "Dawn Army" feel moved, and they led the crowd to surrender.
Three months later, after several major battles, the "Dawn Empire" has gone.
The 700,000 army either died or surrendered, or simply scattered and fled, leaving only the last 50,000 or 60,000 people, cowering in a second-level main city, Wuyue City.
This city is located in the east of Gama, surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side, and is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But no matter how difficult the city is, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, it will not be so difficult to attack.
The 100,000 people of the Nalan Clan, the 100,000 people of the Mobas Division, plus the 50,000 people of the Kitetsu Division, the 40,000 Knights of the Izumo Imperial Family, and nearly 300,000 troops under the Wuyue Castle, kicked off the final battle with the sound of rumbling war drums.
In the camp of the Chinese army, I also saw Yunyun that I hadn't seen for a long time. She was wearing a light blue light armor - could this be the "Sea Heart Armor" originally given to Xiao Yan?
And here, there are also many other strong people, including Hai Bodong, Yan Shi, Feng Li, and Yun Ling and several other Yunlan Sect Fighting Kings.
What amazed me the most was a sixth-order demonic beast, the Deep Sea Jiao Beast. It was the guardian beast of the Gama royal family, but I didn't expect it to be sent to the front line.
If you add the little medicine immortal, Ling Ying, Anthony, Zoe and other strong people around me, there are actually six Douhuang combat forces gathered here, and more than ten Douwang powerhouses, it is really ......
Terrifying!
All these preparations are naturally to completely kill the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Centipede Heavenly Mansion, leaving no trouble.
I stood with my hands in my hands, looking at the siege in the distance.
The army that has not surrendered until now is naturally not too weak, and with the geographical advantage of Wuyue City, they are quite stable in defense.
But in the face of an army of nearly 300,000, how can they hold on?
Because it was the last battle, this battle was in full force, and the siege was non-stop day and night.
The siege army ants were attached like locusts, dragon crossbows, trebuchets were non-stop, arrows were like rain, boulders were like thunder, and at dawn on the third day, the east wall of Wuyue City was finally breached!
The besieging army let out a cheer and marched into the city of Wuyue. But I, and the powerful men behind me, frowned.
It's all at this time, Wuyue City has been attacked for three days, why have the Douhuang and Douwang of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and Wutianfu never shown their faces?
They just let their last city be breached?!
I have a bad premonition in my heart, either the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Wutian Mansion have set up a big conspiracy in Wuyue City, or ......
"Report! According to the report of the army that invaded Wuyue City, there were 10,000 Scorpion Sect disciples who surrendered, and said that the high-ranking members of the sect had not appeared for several days......"
My face sank suddenly, and I scolded in my heart, sure enough, the powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and the Centipede Heavenly Mansion actually fled!
Calculating the time, they should have slipped away from the gap as soon as they retreated into Wuyue City, taking advantage of the fact that our army had not yet had time to close the siege.
Unexpectedly, they beat a time difference!
And we thought they were still in the city of Wuyue, but they waited outside the city for days, and now who can find their whereabouts?
The strong men behind me also felt that they were being played, and they felt a burst of annoyance in their hearts, and they flew over Wuyue City one after another, bombarding the army in the city, but none of the Douwang and Douhuang flew up to stop them, it seems that they really ran out.
I gritted my teeth angrily, and my face was cloudy. It's not a good thing to be hated in the hearts of two Dou Huang and nearly ten Dou Wang powerhouses!
……
……
In the castle lord's mansion of Wuyue City, Anke Meleni walked back and forth in the courtyard with his hair scattered, listening to the sound of fighting on the city wall, he wanted to stand at the head of the city and personally direct the battle as before.
But now, he didn't dare, he didn't even dare to go up to the attic, he just walked in the courtyard, letting his vision be blocked by the tall courtyard wall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Because you can't see, you won't be afraid.
It's just that the sound of fighting on the city wall can still be clearly transmitted to the city lord's mansion. This made him very irritable, he wanted to smash things, and he also wanted to give an order so that the soldiers on the city wall should not make noise!
It's just that all this does not happen because of his evasion, and one of the generals came on tiptoe, barely audible footsteps, and then he reported in a voice that was equally small and almost inaudible:
"Your Majesty, the enemy army has broken through the eastern wall and is heading towards the City Lord's Mansion......"
This stunned Anker, who was walking back and forth, and he turned around stiffly, glaring at the general in disbelief.
It's only been less than four days, and Wuyue City has been breached?!
"Hahahaha......"
Anker burst out laughing, tears streaming down his cheeks as he laughed.
He laughed so loudly and choked with sobs that he couldn't help but bend down and cover his stomach.
"If I knew it would be like this, why should I bother to build the Dawn Empire?"
He muttered that this so-called Dawn Empire had not yet been officially founded, and he had not yet held an enthronement ceremony, so he died in Wuyue City.
Not to mention, in order to make the Ten Thousand Scorpion Gate and Wutianfu can only support him, he also poisoned his eldest brother and second brother. In the end, the two high-level leaders had already run away, leaving him alone, and it became a joke!
But it was too late to say this, he wiped the tears from his face, looked at the general, and asked, "Are you ready?" ”
The general arched his hand and said, "All the firewood and fire oil are ready." ”
Anke nodded, and after bathing, he put on a long-prepared royal robe. This is what he planned to wear on the day of his accession to the throne, but he didn't expect it to be now.
He walked to an attic with some despair, only to see that the attic was full of jewels and jade treasures looted in Wuyue City, as well as various demonic beast crystal nuclei, pills, exercises and fighting skills......
Of course, there is no shortage of firewood poured with fire oil.
The attic was filled with the pungent smell of fire oil, but he didn't care anymore.
Through the open window, he saw that the four walls of Wuyue City were falling one after another, and a large number of troops were pouring into Wuyue City, including an army with the lion banner.
The lion, that was the emblem of the Izumo Imperial Family, was also his favorite animal when he was a child, but for some reason, the older he grew up, the more he hated lions.
"I heard that in the distant Zhongzhou, there is a kind of monster called Phoenix, the phoenix burns itself into ashes every five hundred years, and then reborn from the ashes, so that the cycle is seven times, comparable to the Dou Sheng......"
For some reason, he suddenly remembered the record he had read in a book a long time ago.
Perhaps, because he no longer likes lions, he must find a new animal to fill the gap in his heart.
He took out the fire fold and threw it into the wood in front of him, and the oil was ignited, and the raging flames spread throughout the attic.
Anker stood in the flames, the expression on his face was not seen, would anyone still remember him?
