Chapter 654: Conspiracy
The first battle of the Nicholas dynasty to destroy the Roentgen rebels shocked the ground.
No one expected that this battle would end with the Nicholas Dynasty losing a sixth-grade transcendent, thousands of middle-third-grade transcendent creatures, and countless lower-third-grade soldiers.
On the side of the Roentgen Dynasty, there was not even a single person killed or injured, and this strong contrast stunned a group of military experts.
On the Internet, the live broadcast platform incorporated by the Roentgen Dynasty took turns broadcasting the latest battle reports
"Flash, His Excellency Piedman has killed the city of Tumaco and killed eight fifth-grade transcendents and more than thirty fourth-grade transcendents from the Nicholas Dynasty."
"The latest news, Your Excellency Piedman is becoming more and more courageous the more you fight, the seriously injured Uraps is unable to fight with it, and he still did not run away after retreating for three thousand miles, and was seriously injured by His Excellency Piedman, and escaped by relying on a life-saving ability"
"Update, Your Excellency Gabriel led an army out of the city of Tumako, the army of the Nicholas Dynasty with heavy casualties was about to collapse at the touch of a button, and most of the territory of Jagrus Province has been taken over by our dynasty!"
"Our army adheres to the principle of 'no offense with the people', which is very popular with the people of Jagrus Province."
"His Excellency Huang Donghe formed a second army of about 30,000 men, fought out from the province of Odenan, cut off the retreat of the Nicholas army, and our army won a great victory again"
……
Listening to these war reports, many people in the territory of the Roentgen Dynasty silently gave up some ideas in their hearts, and for the first time had some recognition of this new country......
A small county town in the north of the Jagrus province, a temporary garrison of the Nicholas army.
The collapsed county government building, Nicholas VI was covered in dust, gray-headed, and looked extremely embarrassed, but compared to the physical embarrassment, the nameless fire in his heart made His Majesty the emperor even more distorted.
"Skin! Morality! Long! He gritted his teeth and looked at Zaron Lifu who was lying in a pool of blood and several Wupin offerings, as if squeezing out a few words from between his teeth, "I can't spare you!"
"Pass the order, let the soldiers regroup, and I will fight this gang of thieves to the end!"
The officers looked at each other, but no one responded.
The soldiers were defeated like a mountain, and they retreated all the way from the city of Tumaco to this county seat, and the soldiers, who were already wounded, were exhausted to the extreme after several hard battles, and their morale was also extremely low.
In the process of losing and retreating along the way, countless soldiers were killed, lost, and fled, and the original 800,000 troops now have no more than 400,000
On the other hand, the Roentgen rebels, Huang Donghe promulgated an attractive military merit system, and with a great victory, it attracted countless transcendent creatures to join, and the number of troops has exceeded 300,000.
In this case, Nicholas VI actually has to fight a decisive battle?!
The officers were a little confused about how to answer
"A bunch of rubbish!"
Nicholas VI couldn't help but be furious when he saw that his courtiers didn't answer, but he didn't scold, but held back his anger and said, "You don't have to worry, just a group of rebels are just relying on Piedman's six-rank transcendent martial arts."
"I have ordered the troops and the Imperial City Guards to come to their aid, and when the reinforcements arrive, he will be a turtle in an urn, and the rest of the rebels will be a rabble.
"I need you to boost your morale now, fight a wonderful counterattack, and completely extinguish the arrogance of the rebels......"
As soon as he said this, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.
Howard couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty wants to transfer the border army to the war?" ”
You must know that when Nicholas VI originally planned to start a war with the Guyue Kingdom, he drew 500,000 troops from all over the country.
As a result, the garrisons left in the provinces are already very small, almost less than 10,000, and only the border army is slightly more.
After the independence of the Kerenchen Dynasty, Fang Yun once again transferred troops, and the garrisons of the provinces had basically been drawn clean, and the border army only had the number of soldiers with the lowest red line left.
As a result, the 200,000 army was defeated without a fight, and was absorbed and digested by the Roentgen Dynasty......
Now Nicholas VI actually has to send all the border troops to participate in the war, so that the border is almost undefended.
Without the Frontier Army, many alien beasts will be tempted to move closer to the civilized realm......
Nicholas VI glanced at him, immediately understood what he was worried about, and said confidently, "Don't worry, Howard Deqing has preserved the strength of the Frontier Army and the Imperial City Janissary Army, and will definitely be able to defeat Piedman and inflict heavy losses on the Roentgen rebels."
"As soon as the fighting is over, I will order them to return to the border.
"In addition to this, I have ordered Talem, who remained in Pandeby, to sign a conscription order.
"Hmph, I have a deep heritage, and I don't know how many extraordinary creatures there are, and a million troops can be replenished in the blink of an eye. I have ordered Talem, some of these recruits to support the counterinsurgency, and some to move to the border.
Gu Hao: "These recruits may not have enough combat strength, but it is enough to defend the border for the time being." ”
Nicholas VI's words lifted the spirits of Russell, Capet and others a little.
Yes, the Nicholas Dynasty is powerful and profound, and a million troops can be replenished in the blink of an eye, this time it is just a missed opportunity, as long as it comes to its senses, it is still a powerful empire that cannot be underestimated.
On the other hand, the Lengen Dynasty was just a piece of loose sand, that is, the last few victories, which had some cohesion.
But with just one defeat, the country will fall apart in an instant.
The creation of a country is not so easy......
Only Howard, Fang Yun and the others still looked worried.
After the meeting was dismissed, Capet, Russell and other officers began to act to spread the news of the arrival of reinforcements.
Howard stopped a person, "Xiangye, please wait." ”
"Master Hou." Fang Yun held his footsteps, turned his head, and looked at Howard calmly, as if he had expected him to stop himself.
Howard proposed, "Have a drink together?" ”
"Huh." Fang Yun smiled and asked, "I've been defeated so far, is Hou Ye still in the mood to drink?" ”
"Xiangye misunderstood...... Howard shook his head, "Coffee, coffee, not wine." ”
Fang Yun said again, "Now that this county has been taken over by the army, and almost all the stores are closed, can Master Hou still find a place to drink coffee?" ”
Howard smiled and said, "Please drink coffee, how can I go to the store outside?" In the storage space underneath there are excellent coffee beans and a full set of tools...... Don't look at me like that, we nobles don't lack the ability to be elegant in any situation.
"Xiangye, let's find a place to drink and chat?"
Fang Yun didn't say anything this time, nodded and said, "It's according to the arrangement of the Hou Ye." ”
The two came to a remote and quiet barracks, and Howard took out the tables, chairs, benches and coffee grinding tools like a trick, and grinded two cups of coffee smoothly, one for Fang Yun and one for himself.
Fang Yun closed his eyes, raised his hand and fanned it gently, fanning the aroma with the smell of coffee into his nose, his eyes lit up, and he praised, "It is worthy of the Hou Ye's private collection...... You can still drink such coffee in this kind of place, hehe, Hou Ye will really enjoy it. ”
Howard didn't take this stubble, and after seeing Fang Yun take a sip of coffee, he said, "Xiangye, what do you think of His Majesty's will just now?" ”
Fang Yun put down the white cup and said lightly, "As a courtier, what is Your Majesty's will, I will just do it, how dare I have any ideas, but Master Hou, what are you asking for?" ”
Howard's expression was serious, he looked left and right, and then a prohibition popped out of his fingers, and then he continued, "Xiangye is serious?" Do you really want to watch Your Majesty continue to be willful? ”
"Wayward?" Fang Yun smiled slightly, "Master Hou, isn't it good to use this word to describe Your Majesty?" ”
I still want to do something nonsense, Howard shook his head lightly and said, "Xiangye, when I went to Dongyue Province with His Majesty, it was you who stayed in the Pandebi prison country, you should know how much impact the food shortage for nearly half a month has had on the dynasty, right?"
"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, we all know that in this era, all walks of life are interlocking, one is wrong, one is wrong, in the past half a month, many people have only seen the food crisis, but they have not seen that all walks of life have been suspended, and the whole country has been dragged into a bottomless abyss
"In this case, Your Majesty still wants to go to war, isn't this willful?"
After hearing this, Fang Yun didn't reply immediately, but pondered for a long time before saying, "Otherwise?" His Majesty needs a great victory to quell his anger, and the dynasty needs a great victory to lift the hearts of the people. ”
Howard nodded, "I know, this is also the reason why His Majesty came directly from Dongyue Province to quell the rebellion, and it is also the reason why he was so aggressive, but."
"The counterinsurgency has gone smoothly, but now the counterinsurgency has also been difficult, and the successive failures have made the people's hearts turbulent, and the situation of the dynasty has become as dangerous as walking a tightrope on the cliff.
"Your Majesty's conscription at this time is tantamount to sending a signal that a dynasty is in danger, and I am worried that this signal will irritate neighboring countries, and I am also worried that this signal will stimulate some ambitious people."
Fang Yun's expression had become very serious, and he looked at Howard with burning eyes, "Master Hou said so much, what do you want to say?" ”
Howard was also extremely serious, and said without showing weakness to Fang Yun's eyes, "I think that with the current situation of the dynasty, we must immediately stop fighting and recuperate. ”
"Does Lord Hou want to release the legitimacy of the Renchen Dynasty?" Fang Yun asked rhetorically.
Howard "Just wait for the dynasty to get through the difficult situation before us, and clean up the Roentgen rebels, like eating and drinking." ”
Fang Yun's eyes flashed, "Oh? May I ask what kind of tricks does Master Hou have? ”
Howard took out a map of the Nicholas dynasty and pointed to several provinces occupied by the Roentgen dynasty, "Although I am deeply surprised that Huang Donghe has the courage to rebel, I still feel that this person is difficult to achieve great things, he is too emotional, in order to commemorate Carl, he chose to start the rebellion from the province of Daodon."
"The province of Dowton, the province of Odenan, the province of Southern British Columbia and other provinces occupied by the Roentgen rebels, located in the south-central part of the dynasty, neither borders with the Caesar Dynasty, nor borders with the Guyue Kingdom, we only need to close the airspace, they will be completely isolated, if you want to trade with any country, you can only go south to cover the soil, and the danger of covering the soil, Xiangye knows"
