Chapter 315: A Fierce Battle
The terrain of Wu'an City is dangerous, and it has always been a place where soldiers must earn. Relying on the danger of the terrain has a great advantage in consuming the strength of Great Xia. It also played a crucial role in the victory of the war.
In fact, if you want to screen all the cities in the entire continent, 80% of them will be battleground. It can really be said that as long as it is land, not an inch can be lost.
Emperor Tianqing then asked, "What about the casualties of Great Qin and Great Xia?"
Zixi opened his mouth and said: "The casualties are relatively heavy, and in the past year, Great Xia has sent troops almost every day, day and night, without interruption. The use of soldiers is like a god, and now there are only 900,000 people left in my Great Qin, and this casualty continues to grow. ”
1.6 million soldiers, but in just one year, nearly half of them have been lost, this number is really terrifying.
Emperor Tianqing sighed and said, "In this way, there are already 700,000 soldiers or even more soldiers who have already buried their bones in the loess. What about the Great Xia side?"
Zi Xi replied: "Great Xia's losses are also heavy, and there are less than 800,000 troops left. ”
Hearing Zixi's words, Di Tianqing's heart felt uncomfortable again. Putting aside the country's enemies, in the past year, more than 1.5 million young and strong people on the mainland have been killed in battle. Those are living people, all flesh and blood creatures.
There are even many people among them, who have not seen the world well, and are buried under the loess.
Emperor Tianqing opened his mouth and said: "On the same day, all the Great Qin soldiers will withdraw from Cloud City and go to hold Wu'an City. Minimize casualties as much as possible. In addition, all soldiers who died in battle should be counted as soon as possible, and pensions should be issued as soon as possible. ”
Zi Xi nodded in response, and then continued: "Now that Daqin's treasury has been fully consumed, if the pension is being issued, I am afraid it will be much less." If this battle is fought for another year, the treasury will be empty. ”
Hearing Zixi's words, Emperor Tianqing was surprised again, and said, "How come, there is so much silver in the treasury, it's only been a year, and it's only half seen?"
Without waiting for Zixi to speak, Mo Hongyi said dissatisfiedly: "Nonsense, a million army is just a walking gold-consuming machine. Food for millions of people, winter clothing, weapons, pensions, and so on. None of them are allowed to use money. That's pretty good.
For such a large-scale battle, the amount of money required to mobilize millions of people to participate in this battle is an extremely large number. If you don't have money, can you fight? Can you win it?"
How could Emperor Tianqing not know that the money needed for such a war can be said to be innumerable. It's just that half of it was consumed so quickly, you know, a year ago, in Daqin's treasury, there was a lot of silver!
It's only a year, and so much has been consumed, and surprise is inevitable.
Hearing Mo Hongyi's words, Emperor Tianqing smiled and said, "Aren't I really a little surprised!"
Seeing that Emperor Tianqing said this, Mo Hongyi didn't say anything more. This was normal because she was also shocked at first. The operation of such a huge empire and the support of such a big war are naturally consumed extremely quickly.
Emperor Tianqing continued: "Pass down the will as soon as possible! ”
Zixi nodded, it is estimated that in the entire continent, no one wants this war to end soon!
At this moment, Cloud City ......
The army of Great Xia once again launched a charge, 100,000 young and strong, 100,000 martial arts masters. It's a pretty strong lineup. As early as three days ago, Zhang Xie had already begun to withdraw the soldiers in the Great Qin Cloud City to Wu'an City in batches.
In today's Cloud City, there are less than 100,000 young men left, and all the rest of the troops and martial arts masters have been arranged by Zhang Xie in Wu'an City.
In the handsome camp, Zhang Xie, Jianqing, Long Qingyun, and Shentu Jianxiong are all in the handsome camp.
Zhang Xie looked at Long Qingyun and said, "Long Xiang has been sent to the rear!"
Long Qingyun nodded and said, "Thank you Taiwei for your concern, I have already sent it to the rear." ”
Zhang Xie nodded and said, "That's good, Great Xia has launched a new wave of attacks!"
Jian Qing answered: "Yes, 100,000 young elites and 100,000 martial arts masters, the lineup is strong. We only have 100,000 young people now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long. ”
Shentu Jianxiong opened his mouth and said: "Why does the Taiwei want to retreat all the young and strong, do you want to give up Yuncheng? If Taiwei transfers the soldiers and horses of Wu'an City, he can completely fight in Yuncheng. ”
Zhang Xie opened his mouth and said: "Cloud City is not a place for a decisive battle, and it won't be long before His Majesty the Emperor's will arrive." It is nothing more than to let the army of Cloud City retreat. Defend the city of Muan. ”
Jian Qing opened his mouth and said, "If this will really comes down, then Your Majesty wants to end this war quickly." Such a large-scale war is too heavy for the empire, and it costs the people and money!"
In this way, Long Qingyun and Shentu Jianxiong naturally understood what it meant. Indeed, I am afraid that this year, the silver taels of the Great Qin treasury have consumed an astronomical amount. It can't be counted in the millions anymore.
Shentu Jianxiong also stopped talking, if it was said that a year ago, although Shentu Jianxiong was subject to the emperor's heavenly feelings, he would not contribute too much to this war, and he did not want to contribute.
But in the past year, Shentu Jianxiong has watched the disciples of the Thousand Souls Hall who died on the battlefield, and watched the madness of Great Xia and the Taoist family. He understands that he has to give it his all. Even if he was not subject to the Great Qin Emperor. Then he must do his best.
No force can maintain a transcendent position in such a great war. He naturally understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. Once Great Qin is defeated, then the Thousand Souls Hall will definitely perish under the hands of the Taoists.
This is a situation that Shentu Jianxiong does not want to see. So today's Shentu Jianxiong can be regarded as a radical in this war. I can't wait to slaughter all the soldiers and martial arts masters of Guangda Xia in one fell swoop.
At the same time, on the walls of Cloud City, a frenzied killing began. Martial arts masters mixed in and attacked, and the gate of Cloud City was easily broken.
And Daqin's army had already expected this, for ordinary soldiers, it would take a long time to break through the gate of the strong city wall, but for martial arts masters, it was a very simple matter.
Even if Great Xia excludes now, they are not any masters, they are all martial arts cultivators under the peak realm. Now is not the time to run out of hole cards. That's already a good lineup.
At least yes to the current Great Qin. As soon as the city gate was broken, the Great Qin army, which had already been guarded, released arrows, and a steady stream of Great Qin soldiers charged, sticking to the city gate.
It can be said that ninety percent of the 100,000 young men of Great Qin are guarding the city gate. The killing continued, more and more people fell, and all fought with corpses and blood. For half an hour, countless corpses were piled up into a brand-new city gate, including those of the Great Qin army and the Great Xia army.
But even so, the war still did not stop, and the ladder continued to climb the walls of Cloud City, pushing it to continue, indomitable.
The battle reports continued to be transmitted back to the Shuai camp, and when Jian Qing and Shen Tu Jianxiong heard about it, they directly picked up their swords and were about to walk outside. Where to go? The city walls, of course. With the two of them, the cultivation of the half-step Great Emperor Realm, one person and one move, the 200,000 army will be wiped out.
Zhang Xie naturally knew what the two meant, so he quickly stopped the two of them and said, "Where do you want to go?"
Shentu Jianxiong said with a dark face: "Otherwise?"
Zhang Xie opened his mouth and said: "I know, if the two of you make a move, the 200,000 troops will be wiped out in an instant, but what about after that? What we need now is to continue to consume and wear down the strength of Great Xia, and exchange it for the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
It's not time yet, and the powerhouses of the Holy Realm must not make a move now. ”
Hearing Zhang Xie's words, the two of them also knew that in the past year of the war, neither Great Qin nor Great Xia had ever sent a cultivator to cultivate into a powerful cultivator, I am afraid this is the reason for this.
It's like a tacit understanding between Zhang Xie and Yang Demon Dao, both of them are planning to hit the final overwhelming blow. That will be the final blow. It will determine the outcome of this war.
Shentu Jianxiong and Jianqing calmed down, in fact, these two people are extremely smart people, how can they not understand the meaning. It's just a long-term killing war, they just watch quietly, and it is inevitable that they will hold back the fire in their hearts, and as they accumulate over time, they naturally need a flashpoint.
It's like a firewood with dry fire, just a little bit. There is even a possibility of spontaneous combustion.
Shentu Jianxiong sat on the chair with a dark face and depressed, while Jianqing also had a depressed look on his face. It can be seen that the two are very unhappy, very unhappy, quite unhappy.
Zhang Xie was also quite helpless, he naturally understood the thoughts of the two, how could he not! But he could not be swayed by emotions, he was the commander of the three armies, he needed to take into account the overall situation, and he needed to be absolutely cool-headed.
Zhang Xie opened his mouth and said: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! I know what the two of you think." I may not be, but the big picture matters. ”
Both of them understood, and both nodded and did not speak. For a while, the atmosphere in the handsome camp was a little unharmonious. Long Qingyun opened his mouth and said: "Taiwei, I think that the 100,000 young men who come to my Great Qin can't hold it for too long, so I still have to plan early." ”
Zhang Xie nodded and said, "Everything is ready, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor's will arrives, we will withdraw from Cloud City." ”
Hearing Zhang Xie's words, the three of them all nodded. Say nothing more. And outside Cloud City, the tragic and brutal war is still going on. The soldiers of Great Xia did not want to charge with their lives, while the soldiers of Great Qin did not want to die, and they held on at all costs. This battle lasted for half a day, and the corpses at the city gate were cleared and piled up, back and forth three times. The corpses piled up more and more, making the gates of Cloud City airtight. It takes a lot of effort to clean it up.
At this moment, the Great Xia army also retreated, and this round of fighting has passed, but the next round of attacks brewing will be even stronger.
