Chapter 147: A Big Event
Shen Batian ordered the 50,000 troops to directly attack the royal city head-on, and at the same time let nearly a thousand Linghai Realm masters be distributed around the royal city, intercepting and killing the royal city and external communication messengers as much as possible, and even directly attacking those troops who rushed to the aid of the royal city, besieging the royal city for a while, making the royal city fall into a desperate situation.
Some of the people who saw the wind and made the helm were shocked by Shen Batian's prestige on weekdays, but now they saw that Shen Batian was powerful and the royal city was isolated, so they felt that the general trend of the Jin and Yuan royal families had gone, and they took refuge in Shen Batian; Originally, Shen Batian only had 50,000 elite soldiers, but as a result, he soon expanded a 'cannon fodder' army of 100,000 people, and the number of this 'cannon fodder' army was still increasing.
Although the royal city was difficult, because of the large number of Janissaries, and they were all the elites of the elite, coupled with the fact that the royal city was originally the capital of a country, there were many defenders, and the huge financial resources and food brought by the prosperous central commerce, so that even if it was a siege, the king of Jin Yuan still did not show much panic, and even some expected.
At the beginning of the battle, with the 50,000 defenders in the royal city, the four defensive lines of the royal city were firmly guarded, and in addition, the 30,000 Praetorian guards were all over the royal city, beware of a sneak attack by Shen Batian's masters, or a rebellion in the royal city.
As the saying goes, it is easy to defend a city, but it is difficult to attack a city; militarily, under normal circumstances, if you want to attack the next city, you must use more than three to five times the number of troops of the defenders, or even ten times the strength of the defenders; and Shen Batian's troops are not much more than the defenders of the royal city, plus the defenders are all elites, Rao is Shen Batian is fully prepared, and there are countless admirers to join, but still cannot shake the iron barrel-like Jin Yuan royal city.
It's just that Shen Batian's rebellion caused a chain reaction at that time; the mask of the original peaceful and prosperous Jin Yuan Kingdom was torn apart, and everyone showed their true colors; the entire Jin Yuan Kingdom can be roughly divided into three forces, the first is the Jin Yuan royal family, except for those who are besieged in the royal city, the royal family cronies all over the country are trying their best to support the royal city; and the second force is the rebel army headed by Shen Batian; and the third force is a small group of traitors who have risen up in various places to take advantage of the chaos and form their own faction.
The entire Jin Yuan Kingdom can be described as a great chaos in the world. In addition, several neighboring countries in the vicinity are also preparing to move, and have sent troops to the border, in the name of preventing ** from spreading to their own borders, but in fact it is to monitor the war situation; no matter which side the balance of victory tilts, they will send troops into the Jin Yuan Kingdom.
If Shen Batian's victory is greater, they will ostensibly say that they are here to overthrow the tyranny, but in fact, they will even clean up Shen Batian and completely divide the Jin Yuan Kingdom. Compared to Shen Batian's personal intentions, it is the state-to-state attempts that are truly frightening.
In the face of internal and external troubles, King Jin Yuan has always sat firmly on the dragon chair; Wenchen was all repelled by him, because he felt that at this time, Wenchen not only could not help him, but would disturb his thinking; and the generals were all photographed by him to the front line, and only Princess Weiwei was left in the palace.
When the battle lasted for nearly a month, in the face of Shen Batian's endless attacks, the defenders in the royal city were consumed extremely quickly, from the original 30,000 to 15,000, a full loss of half; if this continued, even if all the Praetorian Guards were sent, I am afraid they would not be able to hold on for too long.
And the royal cronies everywhere were chased and intercepted by Shen Batian and some scattered traitors, and they couldn't protect themselves, and they couldn't rush to the aid of the royal city at all.
King Jin Yuan finally felt a sense of crisis, and the only person he could ask for advice now was his daughter, Princess Weiwei.
On the palace, there are no His Majesty's courtiers, only fathers and daughters;
King Jin Yuan rubbed his temples, with a hint of tiredness in his tone, and said: "I have long expected that Shen Batian will rebel, I thought that when he rebelled, it would be the day when he was justified and pacified; ”
Princess Weiwei took King Jinyuan's hand and comforted: "Father, you don't have to blame yourself, in fact, my daughter thinks that Father, you also expected that many people would submit to Shen Batian, the only thing I didn't expect was that when the national disaster was at hand, instead of having the same hatred, there were many robbers who took advantage of the fire. Father, this is not a mistake, but a sad one. ”
Hearing this, King Jin Yuan sighed and said with emotion: "Those who know me, Mo Ruo Weiwei also, if there are a few more talented people like Wei Wei around me, why do you have to wait for Shen Batian to rebel?
"Could it be that I, the Jin Yuan Kingdom, really want to change my surname to Shen?" said King Jin Yuan sadly.
Princess Weiwei smiled: "Jin Yuanguo will never have the surname Shen, father, have you forgotten that we still have a trump card that is useless." ”
"You mean silence?"
"That's right!"
King Jin Yuan waved his hand: "If in a few years, Shen Mo will fully grow, it will indeed be a trump card, but unfortunately, there are no more years to wait for." ”
Princess Wei Wei said: "Why should my father be negative? The reason why my daughter attaches so much importance to Shen Mo naturally makes sense; Father, think about it, how old is Shen Mo this year? He is only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his strength has already reached the late stage of the three-star Spirit Array Master. And according to her daughter's investigation, Shen Mo didn't even have a weight in the strength realm not long ago, and he was a well-known waste in his hometown, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a monster for such an amazing growth in just how long it had been. ”
"So what? Far water can't quench your thirst. "King Jin Yuan has more than enough heart, but his strength is not enough.
Princess Wei Wei was not discouraged, and continued: "With Shen Mo's qualifications, he will definitely not spend a few years in the sect space, besides, Shen Mo has long known that Shen Batian intends to rebel, and he will definitely rush back as soon as possible; ”
Hearing this, King Jin Yuan laughed helplessly: "Three months? If you continue to fight like this, it will last for a month at most, and this time will only be advanced and not delayed." ”
Princess Weiwei nodded: "If we continue to fight like this, it will naturally not last for three months, but we can change tactics." ”
"Oh, you already have a measure?" King Jin Yuan's eyes lit up; what he lacked most now was flexibility and new tactics, once there was a way to change, not to mention turning defeat into victory, at least he could continue to hold on, and if he could persevere, there was hope.
The corners of Princess Weiwei's mouth rose and she smiled: "This is natural, otherwise why would the daughter talk so much to her father?"
"Come on. King Jin Yuan was excited, if this came from someone else's mouth, King Jin Yuan would still be skeptical, but from the mouth of Princess Weiwei, he did not have the slightest doubt, because he knew Weiwei, she would never speak in vain.
Princess Wei Wei trayed out the plan she had already thought of: "Now that the strength of the royal city is depleting day by day, it will naturally not be too long, but my father still remembers that we have other forces besides the troops? such as the mercenary union? such as the power of silence to stay in the royal city? As long as Sister Huanyu uses the power of the mercenary union, it will definitely solve our urgent needs." ”
Hearing this, King Jin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "You mean, let the Mercenary Guild join the battle?"
Princess Weiwei shook her head: "Of course not, even the elites who guard the royal city have lost so much, although the mercenaries are all brave and good at fighting, but if they join the battle, they will inevitably be burned in a short time, and they will not play a substantive role at all; ”
"Ouch, my good daughter, just say whatever you want, I'm really in a hurry to become a father. The steady and majestic King Jin Yuan actually showed the eagerness of a child.
Princess Weiwei smiled coquettishly and said: "Divide all the mercenaries in the royal city into several routes, one route is led by Sister Huanyu, go out of the city to fight a bloody road, get out of the battlefield, guerrilla those armies that block support outside the battlefield, and open up a path for those who can't get close to the royal city as much as possible." ”
Speaking of this, Princess Vivi paused and said shrewdly: "The next thing is to see the power of Silence, does Marita remember? That dragon, although she is Silence's war pet, but Silence went to the sect space, and the connection between them was cut off, so there is no need to abide by the restrictions of the war pet contract in disguise, and the location of the remaining dragons is already known, so that the mercenaries can protect Marita and ask the dragon clan to help." On the other hand, let Lin Xuanqing, Leng Yi and the others go to the front line with me, you don't have to let them join the battle, you just need to go, so that once Shen Mo returns, he will already be involved in the war, and he will not be given any excuse to hesitate at all. ”
Listening to Princess Weiwei's words, King Mao Sai of Jin Yuan suddenly opened, his eyes lit up, and he sighed: "Getting your daughter for my father is better than the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty!"
After speaking, King Jin Yuan suddenly remembered something and asked, "I remember that Shen Mo has been cultivating the Black Dragon Mercenary Group, why don't you let this mercenary group join?"
Wei Wei said with a smile: "The Black Dragon Mercenary Regiment is now the largest regiment in the territory, and its strength is very strong, but it can't be used now, but it has to wait for Shen Mo to come back and use it as a killer weapon; ”
King Jin Yuan felt that Princess Weiwei's words were powerful, so he no longer considered the Black Dragon Mercenary Group, and immediately ordered to act exactly according to Princess Weiwei's ideas. With Princess Weiwei's tactics, there was a slight turn for the better on the battlefield that had already shown defeat, especially when Bai Huanyu led a large number of mercenaries to kill out of the royal city and intercept Shen Batian's army everywhere, which made Shen Batian start to feel a little anxious. Soon after, with the support of 10,000 people successfully entering the royal city, this battle was finally regarded as a turning point for the king of Jin Yuan.
