582 Shocking news
Qian Feng is not only an excellent military commander, but also an excellent political talent, he immediately saw something from Xiao Yi's expression, and said in his heart that the second prince was not very much in favor of this military operation, he always said that seeking skin with the tiger, the result must not be much better, the so-called seeking skin with the tiger certainly refers to the matter of cooperating with the Western Han Empire to attack Nanlu.

"However, the casualties of the other side are not small" Qian Feng hurriedly said: "According to reliable calculations, the casualties of the defenders are about fifty or sixty thousand, of which the death toll accounts for two-thirds.
Xiao Yi smiled and said: "That's natural, before I came here, I heard that our soldiers fought bravely, please take me into the camp to see."
……
"It seems that it is necessary to deal with some stumbling blocks in the Nanlu Empire now" Ziluo said this coldly, and Grand Elder Raphael was stunned for a moment, not understanding what it meant for a while.
Estro stepped forward and said, "Does the sect leader mean to purge those forces that have a prolonging effect on the war?"
"That's right" Ziluo smiled and said: "Only in this way can the destruction of the Nanlu Empire be accelerated, since the Great Elder Distro has already thought of this, then leave this matter to you, I am very relieved of your ability to do things, don't let me down"
With these words, Di Stero can be regarded as having the power of life and death of many people in the Nanlu Empire, and he hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will not disappoint you, I will arrange this matter immediately, if you have any instructions, please give me an order at any time."
To be honest, Raphael felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, on the whole, he was not an upright person, and he didn't dare to say his own opinions for a while, after all, in the Holy Martial Sect, it was Ziluo who was in charge, not a great elder, and it seemed to outsiders that he was above ten thousand people under one person, in fact, he didn't dare to have the idea of rebelling against Ziluo, let alone doing things that disobeyed her. At the beginning, he thought that Ziluo and Estro provoked a war between the three empires, just to hide people's eyes and ears and let what happened before dissipate in people's hearts, but now it seems that they want to completely destroy Nanlu, the key is that after Nanlu is destroyed, can the other two empires die well?
"Remember, you must not reveal your identity" Ziluo's words carry a deep meaning.
Estro nodded heavily and said, "I'll be very careful, and I won't let people suspect that we did this."
……
The next day, the South Lu Empire came out with bad news, several big families close to the military were wiped out, they were mostly engaged in military manufacturing, and two were engaged in the military food business, so that the South Lu Empire was suddenly overturned in terms of material supply.
There was chaos in the palace, and the ministers were talking. Helian Qing sat in the seat of the Empress Dowager of the Prison State, and Helian Xiyue did not attend today's political discussion.
"Everyone be quiet, it's obvious, this is a targeted operation" Helian Qing said in a deep voice: "They want to bring us down in terms of material supply, so that we have to tighten our defenses, this trick is vicious enough, but I wonder, in the hinterland of my empire, how can such a thing happen, those people are too lawless, what are our city guards doing, is the security of the empire so weak?"
An old minister stepped forward and said: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, after many investigations, we have come to the conclusion that this is a well-planned operation, and almost none of the people killed have the ability to resist, and when the city guards arrived, there was nothing else at the scene except for corpses and burning houses, and there were no traces left."
Helian Qing smiled bitterly and said: "You have to deal with this matter immediately, otherwise, our army will have no supplies, and it will collapse without a fight, and we must start protecting other suppliers immediately, we must not let similar things happen again, during the war, the most unbearable thing is such turmoil, if the soldiers who are far away at the border know that the logistics cannot be guaranteed, the morale will be affected."
At this time, a captain of the guard hurriedly ran in and said, "Oh no, the team escorting the Ten Thousand Souls Anointment was attacked on the road, and the soldiers of a regiment were slaughtered by the enemy, as well as the accompanying Viscount Ling Daiyan and his entourage."
"Didn't any of the Ling family survive?" Helian Qing was taken aback, the Ling family's Ten Thousand Soul Paste was a life-saving thing during the war, and it was much cheaper than the pill, reducing the huge consumption in the war, making the Nanlu Empire take a lot of advantage in the disadvantage.
"Except for the bodies of Viscount Ling Daiyan and Mrs. Ling Daiyan who were not found, only one servant named Ling Fang survived" The person replied: "Ling Fang has dozens of scars on his body, it is a miracle that he survived, and he doesn't know if Viscount and Lady Ling Daiyan are dead or taken captive."
Helian Qing gritted his teeth and said, "You go and find out who did this immediately, and you must severely punish the murderer."
"I think it must have been done by the spies of Dongning or the Western Han Empire" The old minister said: "Such a big action cannot be completed by one or two people, we must be ruthless and avenge those who died"
……
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, now we are all ready, we only need to attack" Qian Feng looked at the piles of siege equipment, under the training of the people from the Western Han Empire, his own soldiers quickly mastered the use of the method, and the head of the use was the Tao.
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "With these equipment, it's like a tiger with wings, does the Lord General want to start attacking immediately?"
Qian Feng said with a smile: "It is not easy for His Royal Highness the Prince to come to me, I have to let my soldiers behave well, your arrival has increased morale a lot, if you can break through the level in one fell swoop today, Your Royal Highness the Prince will be the first to take the lead."
Xiao Yixin said this politely, he said modestly: "Lord General said so, I don't dare to agree that you can take Dongguan, you are the first to take the credit."
Qian Feng immediately gave the order to attack, and the 80,000 vanguard troops began to assemble, interspersed between many tall siege equipment, and in terms of momentum, they were much stronger than before.
……
The defenders are ready to meet the enemy, Wang Honghuan has a worried face, the intelligence that came a few days ago has been confirmed, the Western Han Dynasty and Dongning are indeed wearing a pair of pants, to say which of the three empires has the strongest national strength, it is undoubtedly the Western Han Dynasty, and their military equipment is first-class.
Ling Xiaotian took Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng to the city wall, and their arrival caused a burst of cheers from the soldiers.
"Xiao Tian is here, we may not be so easy today" Wang Honghuan pointed to the black and shiny siege equipment and said: "Those are made of stainless steel, and it is difficult to destroy"
At this time, a small soldier came over and said a few words in Wang Honghuan's ear, and his face immediately changed.
"Commander, what's wrong?" Ling Xiaotian asked, he knew it must not be good news.
Wang Honghuan replied: "There is a problem within the empire, a large number of arms and grain suppliers have been assassinated, our backyard has been found, and what is even worse is that the Ling family, which made the Ten Thousand Souls Paste, has also been attacked, and several of the main responsible persons are dead, we don't need the Ten Thousand Souls Paste here anymore, I just made a report a few days ago, and I want 100,000 bottles."
"What" Ling Xiaotian exclaimed, this was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
