Chapter 177: Star Luo Conspiracy
It had been three days since the last time the Star Luo Empire's army attacked in a big way.
The army of the Star Luo Empire directly lost 90,000 troops, except that because Lu Yuan used a shattered star that could be called devastating, he directly annihilated the 70,000 army of the Star Luo Empire.
There are still 20,000 Star Luo Empire troops that have been lost in the siege battle, after all, the capture of Zhennan Pass, the first level of the Heaven Dou Empire, was originally to be stacked with human lives.
It was to be expected that their casualties were higher than those of the Heaven Dou Empire, but on the first day of the battle, nearly one-tenth of the main battle strength was lost, which made even the Star Luo Empire, which had a military strength of one million, suffer from it.
After all, this million army is not an ordinary army, but an excellent elite army, and it can be said that this million army is better than the two million ordinary army of the Heaven Dou Empire, which is comparable to the five major titled legions.
In this way, the casualties of yesterday's siege are already quite to the extent that the entire army of the Titled Legion was annihilated.
How can this not make Dai Qingxiao's flesh hurt.
Dai Qingxiao is taking the queen and many generals in the border gate of the Star Luo Empire at this moment, this is the first city on the border of the Star Luo Empire, it is as important as Zhennan Pass, and it is the first line of defense for the Star Luo Empire to defend against foreign enemies.
Its name is Yubei Pass, and its name is far away from Zhennan Pass, after all, the Heaven Dou Empire is in the north of the Star Luo Empire.
Just after hearing Wang Qianjian's report on the casualties of the army, Dai Qingxiao's face was also extremely pale.
"There were so many casualties in the army yesterday?!" Dai Qingxiao said incredulously.
Although the damage caused by Lu Yuan's Xinghuang Shatter yesterday was very terrifying, everyone actually didn't know much about the casualties at that time.
Lu Yuan himself didn't know.
Only after the Star Luo Empire counted the casualties after the war did it know the horror of Lu Yuan's move.
The shattering of Xinghuang directly destroyed nearly 70,000 troops and died, and indirectly caused another 130,000 troops to be injured and injured, of which 60,000 troops were directly seriously injured, which was equivalent to losing the ability to go to the battlefield.
That is, the million-strong army of the Star Luo Empire directly lost 150,000 main battle troops.
"Yes, then Lu Yuan...... Directly annihilated one of our large armies. Wang Qianjian smiled bitterly and said, "It's really terrifying, such a terrifying killing skill...... Even if it is a Title Douluo, I have never seen anyone who can annihilate an army of 70,000 with one blow. ”
Perhaps among the Titled Douluo, the ceilings of Titled Douluo like Tang Hao, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the Three Peerless Douluo can do such a thing, and in addition, Lu Yuan's cheap master Poison Douluo Dugu Bo can also do this with poison.
But what kind of cultivation did the three peerless Douluo and Tang Hao and the others have, they are all at least the top of the Douluo World above level ninety-five.
Lu Yuan is just a Contra Douluo, and he can be compared to these people, which makes people think about it carefully.
And the latter, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, although he can also be like Lu Yuan, can kill and kill tens of thousands of troops in one blow.
That Dugu Bo's toxin attack could not be like Lu Yuan's use of Xinghuang to shatter, it was directly annihilated tens of thousands of troops in an instant, and the toxin had to have time to volatilize on the battlefield, and then slowly annihilate the enemy army.
Such a concept is different.
"Your Majesty, now that we have 850,000 troops available for the main battle, and there are still millions of civilians and baggage troops that can be conscripted into the battlefield, then we should be ...... now," Wang Qianjian said in a deep voice.
As a country of tigers and wolves, the Star Luo Empire has a strong military force that almost everyone in the empire can be a soldier, and this time, in addition to the million main battle troops, there are also additional millions of civilian men and baggage troops to make supply lines, transport food to the front line, and forge siege equipment.
And although they are not professional soldiers, as long as Dai Qingxiao gives an order, these millions of people can instantly put on inferior light armor, take weapons, and become soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy.
Of course, it will definitely not be that these million people will directly become soldiers to fight, after all, the follow-up supply lines and baggage troops must be guaranteed, otherwise once there is a problem with the supply and baggage.
Then even the army of tigers and wolves will become lambs to the slaughter.
However, although it cannot be a million people into an army, at least half of the people, that is, half of the people, that is, half a million people, can be turned into front-line soldiers.
But with the addition of these 500,000 people, there is a total of 1.3 million troops, compared to the defenders of the Heaven Dou Empire who only have less than 200,000 in Zhennan Pass, there is no doubt that the advantage is in the Star Luo Empire.
Dai Qingxiao knew what Wang Qianjian meant, he wanted to use human lives to pile up and pile down Zhennanguan.
"It's not proper, then Lu Yuan said that in three days, the Heaven Dou Empire's 500,000 troops will come to the aid of Zhennan Pass." Dai Qingxiao waved his hand and said solemnly, "Now that the time is calculated, the 500,000 army has arrived at Zhennan Pass. ”
"The enemy army has a total of 700,000 troops, relying on the dangerous situation, how much price do we have to pay to take this Zhennan Pass."
"If you take this town of Nanguan, if the loss is too great, then what's the use of wanting this town to come to Nanguan?" Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice, "If you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive. ”
"I didn't expect the other party to come to the aid so quickly, and most importantly, Lu Yuan was so strong!" Dai Qingxiao gritted his teeth, if it weren't for Lu Yuan's annihilation of the tens of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire with one blow three days ago, and the Star Luo Empire would have lost 150,000 of its main battle strength now.
He may support Wang Qianjian at this moment, levy the people, and take people's lives to capture Zhennan Pass.
This was also their plan at the beginning, and even if the Heaven Dou Empire sent troops to support, according to their thoughts, if the Dou Empire army had just suffered casualties today, even if they could directly reach Zhennan Pass to support.
Its morale will inevitably be low, and its combat capability will inevitably be low, that is, it can be annihilated in one fell swoop.
But now, even if the 500,000 Heaven Dou Empire reinforcement army is now demoralized and not strong in combat according to their previous thoughts.
Dai Qingxiao didn't dare to directly attack Zhennanguan......
Because......
Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's combat power is too strong, and it can greatly increase morale on the battlefield.
It's like opening a game ranking, you're playing a single on the road, and suddenly there is a system broadcast of a big daddy's four kills, then you must feel that this is a steady win, and start playing the game seriously.
At least don't let yourself be a breakthrough.
Moreover, Lu Yuan is now almost one person who can withstand 200,000 male divisions, and this comes and goes, and the two sides are equal in strength.
The Heaven Dou Empire relied on the benefits of Zhennan Pass, and the Star Luo Empire paid a higher price for the attack, wouldn't that be equivalent to annihilating the Heaven Dou Empire's army and taking Zhennan Pass, and the Star Luo Empire would at least lose more than eighty percent of its troops?
So what's the other fight?
"Your Majesty, then we must lure the Heaven Dou Empire into a decisive battle with us on the border battlefield." The mad lion general Wren stood up at this time, knelt down on one knee, and said.
He is not good at siege, but leading troops to fight frontal battles and annihilation battles is what he is best at.
"That Lu Yuan is young and vigorous, the minister looks at his face that day, he is proud of his talents, and his ambition is arrogant, after all, he is a young man, maybe we show the enemy weakness and pretend to be defeated and retreat, Lu Yuan will definitely think of taking advantage of the victory to pursue and lead the troops out of the pass!" Wren said with a smile.
Dai Qingxiao thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"Crazy Lion, you are smart, this plan is indeed very subtle, I expect that Lu Yuan will become famous in the continent at such a young age, and he has not been defeated since he became famous, he should be proud and complacent, full of confidence."
"It's just...... How to pretend to be defeated so that Lu Yuan will chase him out? Dai Qingxiao asked again.
He suddenly felt a little unreasonable, and said, "Last time, we were almost defeated, and we suffered 200,000 casualties, and Lu Yuan didn't personally lead his troops out to pursue ......."
"Your Majesty, last time Zhennanguan didn't have 500,000 troops to support, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, Lu Yuan will definitely want to pursue us after seeing us feigning defeat and retreating!" The Wild Lion General Wren said again.
Dai Qingxiao nodded, "This is also, the army of Nanguan in that town is different from the past, there were only less than 200,000 defenders before, and now there are 500,000 more reinforcements, so Lu Yuan has the capital to pursue it." ”
"But...... It's still not appropriate, this plan is a good plan, and it must be worked out in detail. He said in a deep voice.
Wren was instantly lost in thought, he wasn't very good at this feint strategy.
Most of his tactics are basically rushing, raiding and formation siege, and his fighting style is to forge ahead and be alone.
At this time, Wang Qianjian, the general of the Dead Blade, who had not spoken for a long time, thought for a moment, and then he said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, then we can only pretend to attack Zhennanguan again, and ......."
"Oh?" Dai Qingxiao looked at him curiously.
"I have a plan, even a veteran like Illuson will not be able to hold back and have an idea." Wang Qianjian said in a deep voice, "That hairy boy Lu Yuan must be even more uncontrollable, and then lead the troops out of the customs to pursue!" ”
"Tell me about it." Dai Qingxiao's eyes lit up and said.
"This count...... In addition to the feint attack on Zhennanguan and the defeat, it is also necessary to ......" Wang Qianjian looked at Dai Qingxiao.
Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi beside him instantly understood, but ......
Zhu Lanxi's face turned terried, "Bold!" How dare you want to put your majesty at risk? ”
"The minister is guilty!" Wang Qianjian immediately knelt down and bowed his head, and said.
Wang Qianjian's idea of looking at Dai Qingxiao was very simple and easy to understand, but anyone who was smart would see it.
That is, Dai Qingxiao personally went to the battlefield and pretended to be injured after the feint, and even the defeat of the Star Luo Empire was very reasonable.
As the king of a country, Dai Qingxiao was seriously injured on the battlefield, and then the army of the Star Luo Empire planned to withdraw to protect Dai Qingxiao's retreat.
This makes perfect sense.
And in the face of the huge merit of being able to capture or even behead the king of a country, this merit is huge enough for the Heaven Dou Empire to tear the territory for it.
Coupled with the temptation of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, who doesn't want to get this supreme honor.
Not to mention Lu Yuan, even the veteran Sen Luohou probably couldn't resist this huge temptation.
But the key lies in......
Dai Qingxiao personally went to the front line to attack Zhennan Pass, which was very dangerous.
Although he is not just a soul sect like the Snowy Night Emperor, even Dai Qingxiao, who is a Contra Luo cultivator, as the king of a country, is on the front line of the siege battlefield is a very dangerous and worrying thing.
That's why Queen Zhu Lanxi is so angry.
But at this moment......
Dai Qingxiao, who was on the side of "Xi'er ......", waved his hand and took Zhu Lanxi back into his arms.
His face was indifferent and he looked at Wang Qianjian who was kneeling.
Zhu Lanxi's face changed, "Your Majesty...... You won't be ......."
"Eh, I'm not a cowardly child raised at the hands of a woman in the deep palace." Dai Qingxiao said to her with a smile, "When you were young, you and I have been on the battlefield for so many years, are you still afraid of this battlefield?" ”
"For the sake of the empire, for the victory of this war, don't say that I will go to the front line, even if I really want to lead the troops to kill the enemy, we will also go up!" He said in a deep voice, "If we don't win this war, it will be a huge loss. ”
Every time a country fights a war, it is not just as simple as fighting a war, in addition to dispatching troops, it also has to mobilize people, prepare baggage, food operation, and even later casualty compensation, which is a lot of money.
Last time, Gao Zhong actually led his troops to attack Zhennan Pass, but he lost 200,000 troops and returned in vain, which was already a huge loss for the Star Luo Empire.
If this is still the case now, even if the million-strong army returns safely, and Zhennan Pass is not attacked.
That pair of Star Luo Empire is a huge loss, and economically, the Star Luo Empire and even the Star Luo Royal Family are not only using millions of gold soul coins this time.
And their purpose this time is only to capture Zhennan Pass, and even the major principalities and kingdoms after capturing Zhennan Pass!
"What's more, if you and I join forces, even if we are Title Douluo, we can't help us." Dai Qingxiao said, "In that case, why don't we do it?" ”
Zhu Lanxi's face softened slightly, and in the end, she could only sigh, "Your Majesty is right, it's the worry of the concubines and women." ”
"Why did Xi'er say this, you also care about me." Dai Qingxiao said with a smile, "And even if we have an accident, is there still a prince in the imperial capital?" ”
Zhu Lanxi glanced at him, "Don't say these unlucky words again." ”
"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Dai Qingxiao said with a smile.
Zhu Lanxi stopped talking.
"Deathblade, get up." Then, Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice to the kneeling Wang Qianjian.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Qianjian stood up without any change in his face and said.
He wasn't even really scared of Zhu Lanxi's anger just now.
And his indifferent appearance seemed to conclude that Dai Qingxiao would definitely not blame him, and even would approve of this plan.
After all, he has been a monarch for many years, and Wang Qianjian is somewhat familiar with the character of Dai Qingxiao, the emperor.
In the face of such a plan with huge benefits and huge risks, Dai Qingxiao often chooses to take risks.
"What else? Except that I want to go to the battlefield and pretend to be seriously injured in front of Lu Yuan? Dai Qingxiao said.
He knew that Wang Qianjian's plan would not be so simple.
"Besides...... "and we have to pay tens of thousands of casualties, but this may not be enough to make the other side lose their vigilance." ”
"So we need help from others." He said lightly.
"Someone else?" Dai Qingxiao asked curiously.
"Who?"
Wang Qianjian said two words lightly, "......"
