Without saying a word, the queen got up from her chair, walked quickly to the map, looked at it for a while, and clapped her hands: "Wonderful, wonderful." The north took a defensive position, relying on the steepness of Broken Cloud Mountain, as long as tens of thousands of troops could be safe and sound. Concentrate on developing westward, seize the Velvet Country, and wait for the opportunity to annex the Red Eagle Business Alliance, and within three years, the Jingtang Kingdom will be the most powerful country on the mainland. Wizards, wizards! Touching his forehead, he said: "God help me Blue Moon, this person is not used by Fein V, I am lucky to be Blue Moon." ”

Tang Zhaoxian and Concubine Ji Xue could see it clearly, and what the queen wiped away was the cold sweat on her forehead.

Queen Huo Di turned to Concubine Ji Xue and asked, "Where is Parkinch now?" Are you chasing Feng Hua Ming? ”

"Your Majesty, the Jingtang army is chasing Feng-Huaming, he should be in the army." Concubine Ji Xue pondered.

"Was there any fighting?" The queen asked.

"Yes, but it was all our victory." Concubine Ji Xue also said with regret: "However, the scale is not very large. ”

The queen looked at the map for a while, and said loudly: "Immediately give Feng Huaming an order to rush back to Yunyang." ”

Tang Zhaoxian said incomprehensibly: "Your Majesty, this is ......" Don't say the words behind it, you know what it is.

"It's a disguise. Pakinki was definitely not in the army, but went to Yunyang City. If Broken Cloud Mountain can build plank roads, there must be other passages, and Parkinch must have discovered one or several of them before setting off the smoke screen, and he himself led the army straight to Yunyang. At this time, Yunyang was not defenseless at all, and if Parkinge suddenly appeared, our barrier in the south would be lost. The Purple Cloud Legion was also in danger. The queen raised an eyebrow. The phoenix's eyes, which were as beautiful as diamonds, suddenly brightened a lot. "Parkinch, I'm not going to make your life easy."

The queen did not look back, looked at the map and said, "What is the situation in the north?" ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Earl has disappeared since he appeared in Shanghe County, as if he had evaporated." Tang Zhaoxian said, worried: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

The queen looked at Concubine Ji Xue, her face was calm, as if she hadn't heard.

"陛xià. We can't find out where the Earl is. However, Huchy City is now under martial law and has imposed a curfew, as if it is going to be a war, and the minister thinks that it should be the Earl who has arrived in Huche City. Concubine Ji Xue was busy reporting.

"Surely he is." The queen said lightly: "It is more than 700 miles from Shanghe County to Huqi City, and it will take seven days for 100,000 troops to arrive at the fastest speed. He only used it for three days, could he fly? Or airborne? ”

The queen's good-looking eyebrows furrowed again, and she looked at the map and said, "The mouse in the west has met a cat and is playing a game; The rat to the south bumped into the cat. Have a lot of fun; The cats of the north met the mice and played again. What a cat-and-mouse game showcase! ”

"Your Majesty, give the order quickly!" War Minister Knott said eagerly.

"No, I will never give orders." Although Ying Luofan's tone was calm, he said without any doubt: "Even if I personally go into battle to fight, I will not order the withdrawal of troops from the south. ”

"Your Majesty, the 200,000-strong army is rushing straight towards my Huqi City, and it is unlikely that the city defense troops alone will be able to resist it. If you don't transfer back the army from the south, if there is a mistake in Huqi City, how can you explain it to your ancestors and ancestors! "Noether was heartbroken.

"Two hundred thousand? Are there so many? Didn't you say there were only a hundred thousand? Ying Luofan was startled and jumped up from the throne.

"Your Majesty, the crime of the minister deserves death, and it has not been investigated. Previously, the minister thought that it was only about 100,000, but now the minister understands that when he fell for the enemy, it is not 100,000 at all, at least 200,000, which is a very conservative estimate. Maybe more, three hundred thousand is also possible. Noether looked like a good student who admitted his mistakes.

"What is your basis?" Ying Luofan asked eagerly.

"Smoke and dust. The smoke and dust from the enemy's iron hooves covered the entire sky, and even the sun could not penetrate a large area of gray. Nott said in horror.

Ying Luofan's eyes froze, and he asked majestically, "This is what you saw with your own eyes?" ”

"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister has come to the scene to check it out. The smoke and dust were so big, from a distance, it looked like a huge mushroom cloud floating in the sky, and a huge shadow cast on the ground like a demon. Nott affirmed that although he was on the front line, he did not take credit for his good character, and specially added, "This kind of major event, the minister naturally has to verify before he dares to report to His Majesty, which His Majesty usually teaches the minister." ”

At the critical moment when the Battle of Silk City and the Southern Front were in full swing, the Blue Moon Empire actually dispatched more than 200,000 troops to attack Hugh Qi City, which was really hard to believe, Ying Luofan already believed in his heart that what Nott said was true, or reflexively asked: "Really?" ”

"Really." Nott nodded vigorously.

"You're not wrong?" Ying Luofan asked for verification again.

"That's right." Nott felt weak enough and added, "You can't be wrong.

Ying Luofan staggered, if he hadn't grabbed the chair with his right hand, he would have fallen to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Then ......"

Knowing that the latter words must be "withdraw troops from the south", Noether couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy. More than 200,000 enemy troops rushed directly to the city of Huche, and the city defense army was only 50,000, although it was an elite army, it was impossible to win, and there was no other way than to withdraw the army from the south.

Unfortunately, Noether rejoiced too soon.

“…… On our own, we must not withdraw our troops from the south. Ying Luofan said unexpectedly, it took hundreds of years to get a springboard in the south, and he would not retreat if he was killed.

Nott could hardly believe his ears, jumped to his feet, and cried out in a lost voice: "Your Majesty! Why is that? Your Majesty, once the capital is lost, the army will inevitably be discouraged, and the army in the south will collapse without a fight, which is a major event related to the life and death of our country, please think twice! Speaking of excitement, he knelt down for Ying Luofan.

Ying Luofan helped him up with both hands and comforted: "Aiqing, I can understand your feelings. Even if I want to withdraw the army, the order will be conveyed, and when the army withdraws, the capital will not be able to hold? In this way, we will lose not only the capital, but also the million-strong army in the south, and the silk city that they bought with their blood. Rather than this, it is better to lose the capital. ”

After a pause, he said again: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if the capital is not guaranteed, as long as I am still there, this regime will still be there, and the impact will not be great." If the Battle of Silk City is won, we will be a good deal. ”

What Ying Luofan said is also reasonable, making such a decision in a short period of time, Ying Luofan's talent is not bad, but unfortunately, his opponent is Rick, who is doomed to failure.

"Your Majesty." Knott had to be impressed.

"Aiqing, whether the capital can be kept or not is all up to us. Tell me what other troops you can use besides the city guards. Ying Luofan asked.

"Your Majesty, there are 60,000 newly recruited soldiers in the Chengpu camp, they are being trained, and if they are fast, they can arrive in three days. Kaidi has a garrison of 10,000 troops, which can be arrived in two days. This is the force we can mobilize urgently, and it is also the force that we can reinforce the fastest in this defensive battle. Knott said worriedly: "It's just too little." ”

"It adds up to 120,000, which is too little." Ying Luofan muttered: "If I give the edict of King Qin, how many troops will there be?"

Nott pondered for a moment and said, "If it is ten days and a half later, there will be fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand after a month." It's just too long......"

The latter words were not said, and Ying Luofan also understood that he meant that by the time they arrived, Huqi City would have been broken long ago, and the corpses could be collected for them.

Ying Luofan thought for a moment and said, "I will immediately issue an edict to ask the men in the city to join the army immediately from the age of sixteen to sixty, how many people can we get?" ”

Noether made a rough calculation and said, "About 200,000." As soon as the words changed, he said: "Your Majesty, the combat effectiveness can be ......."

"The fire burns the eyebrows, where do you care so much, let's take care of the front first! In addition, women between the ages of 16 and 60 were organized and asked to build walls, carry supplies, and do chores. "Ying Luofan has another order.

It can be seen that Ying Luofan is ready to defend Huqi City at any cost, and Notte said with interest: "In this way, as long as the army of King Qin arrives from all over the country, we are not afraid that the enemy will run to the sky, even if they run to the sky, we will also take them down." ”

"That's right." Ying Luofan said two words simply.

Ying Luofan issued an edict, and the entire Huqi City was mobilized. The hastily assembled army was busy training, and the organized women were busy reinforcing the walls and carrying war materials. The city of Huqi is the capital of the kingdom of Huka, and the monarchs of the past have attached great importance to the defense of the city, and the city is intact and does not need to be repaired. However, Ying Luofan still understands very well that once the war starts, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be full of holes, and it is indispensable to seize the gap between the war to repair, so he does not dare to take it lightly, and repeatedly emphasizes the necessary training for the repair personnel, so that they can complete the emergency repair in the shortest possible time.

War itself is a huge project, and a war that involves hundreds of thousands of troops to fight is a huge project. Such a huge project was carried out in an orderly manner thanks to the efforts of the Huka government, and the atmosphere of war was strong, and the people did not panic and were busy doing their own work.

This is due to the efficient work of the government, and the second is due to the influence of Ying Luofan. As soon as the war mobilization order was issued, Ying Luofan's figure appeared among the people, giving speeches everywhere to inspire the people's fighting spirit. As for Ying Luofan, the unanimous opinion of historians is that he is "close to the people and quite kind to the people, so he is deeply loved by the people." At the same time, he was also a careerist, with the ambition to conquer the continent and restore the glory of the former Zinge dynasty", regrettably, "he did not have the extraordinary talent commensurate with his ambition, if he had not been born in troubled times, not in the war years when the heroes fought for supremacy, but in the world of peace, with his benevolence and the precious quality of daring to let his courtiers let go of their work, he would have become a benevolent monarch who would carry on the past and forge ahead into the future."
