Chapter 964: Precursor to Collapse

Give me a chance, but I can't take it. This is undoubtedly a sad thing.

As the old saying goes, if you don't take it, you will be blamed!

So Tiu died, and died a terrible death. When the corpse was transported to the imperial city, although it had been sewn and repaired by professionals, it was still a blur of flesh and blood, and it was unbearable to see. What followed one after another was that it was both unexpected and expected, the murderer Sava tribe had long been dissatisfied with the identity of the Tiwu mongrel, believing that the latter had defiled the noble blood of the Northern Wilderness royal family, so they ambushed the Halfway and raided the Tiu team in one fell swoop. If it weren't for a team of wild wolves riding by and happening to pass by, it would have been difficult to save Tiu's corpse......

In the current situation where rumors are flying all over the sky and the identity of Tiu is in doubt, this reason is undoubtedly reasonable. No one doubted it, at least not on the surface. When the upper circles of the tribe heard the news, most of their first reaction was schadenfreude. Because they thought they knew more about the rumors, they also thought that Tiu deserved to die. The second reaction was ridicule and ridicule. Taunting the Sava tribe who did what they wanted to do, this time the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg......

Sure enough, when the empress heard the news, she first mourned, and then became furious. The Imperial City Guards were dispatched out like a tidal wave, and the Sava tribe that had been wiped out once again was wiped out. Immediately after that, the butcher's knife was waved against all the tribes that had befriended the Sava tribe in the past, and none of them spared, and they slaughtered on a large scale. For a time, the people of the surrounding tribes were panicked and uneasy......

The empress is furious, and the corpse is floating for thousands of miles!

Such a fierce reaction was not expected by the top brass of the tribe, and in front of the grieving mother who lost her son, no one dared to stand up to the wind and advise anything. They all restrain their own children, for fear of this sensitive time. Touching the sensitive nerve of the seemingly crazy empress, the imperial city was extremely stable for a while.

Because it was the time of the Great War, the grand funeral of the prince Tiu was postponed. The Empress who has come back from her grief. Also ordered to block the news at the first time. Just wait for the war to end, and wait for His Highness Lansha to return from the front before making a big move.

There was nothing wrong with this move, but it just fell into the ears of the high-ranking tribesmen, and they couldn't help but tremble for a while.

In fact, after the accident, everyone was waiting to see the empress's reaction...... Although Tiu is dead, the question of his identity is still there. In this way, how did the empress deal with the funeral of Tiu. It's undoubtedly a signal. If it is handled sloppily, it also means that the rumors are true, and Tiu does have Bran blood on him...... This is exactly what everyone expected

I didn't think that the empress was unequivocal. Regarding the funeral of Tiwu, not only is it held in strict accordance with the status of the prince. Even for the sake of consummation, he took great pains to wait for Lansha to come back from the battlefield......

It's too formal, and it's too grand!

This move is undoubtedly to justify Tiu. It was also the Empress who was secretly beating and warning everyone that Tiu was my son. That's never true. If there are any doubts in the future, don't blame me for turning my face!

At this point, the recent repetition of old things and the rumors on the hustle and bustle have been strongly suppressed again. I believe that for a long time to come, no one will dare to mention it again.

In a certain way, Lan Sha's true identity is naturally more secretive, and he is buried in the long river of time......

This should be the ultimate goal of all the actions of the empress before and after!

A woman, if she is smart, she is afraid of herself......

......

All right. Back to the point, let's talk about seizing opportunities.

As the queen of the Northern Wilderness and the god of war Ziyi, who is strict in terms of appearance, wisdom value, and so on. The only child born of the strong team, Lansha, has a much better ability to seize opportunities than her brother who came from nowhere.

The fish is not frightened, and the water does not jump, so he digs a deep pit for the Bran Empire, and lays down a death-defying game!

Well, from this point of view, Philip, who realized in advance that danger was approaching, is undoubtedly not weak in his ability to seize opportunities. In Shanxi City, if he is allowed to grind a little more, it is very likely that he will get through Guò Don and come into contact with Josia who can make decisions. In that case, maybe things will turn around...... But a group of pig teammates really didn't give it a good shot, so they just kicked it away with a few opportunities.

And unfortunately, there are not many people as clear-headed and intelligent as Philip. Therefore, after receiving the news that the gray-clothed army that had been raiding everywhere like a chicken blood some time ago suddenly slowed down the momentum of the attack. The vigilance that had just mentioned the throat and eyes fell back into the stomach in an instant, only when the gray army had broken out too much, and now it has entered a period of labor adjustment.

In this way, the issue of whether or not to transfer back to the main army on the front line to strangle the gray army has been discussed a lot in the National Assembly Chamber recently, and of course it will be postponed naturally, and there is no rush to make a decision.

Don't say that they are short-sighted, it is an army of hundreds of thousands of barbarians, and it is a territory of thousands of miles. But as long as there is a glimmer of hope to hold on, no one will think of giving up, and will not dare to give up - whoever makes this decision, regardless of success or failure, will be the sinner of the empire through the ages!

Who has the guts?

It's hard for others to say, at least the old and noble members in the National Assembly Chamber don't have the courage.

For example, the current situation of the Bran court is like that of the frog crouching in a pot of warm water. Knowing the danger, but not daring to break the game. Swaying from side to side, his thoughts deviated decisively, and he began to covet the warmth of the soup that was gradually heating up around him......

So half a month later, after watching the gray-clothed army slowly encroach on a key road again at a speed visible to the naked eye. What rose in their hearts was not a sense of imminent danger, but the thought that there were two more of them, not in a hurry......

Another month and a half passed, when the second artery was encroached upon. Well, according to the other party's current slow speed, if you want to occupy the last main road, it will take at least half a month...... There's still time, don't be in a hurry......

They are not in a hurry, but the three main armies of Bran, who are also concerned about the situation in the rear, are in a hurry. You must know that there are nearly a million regular soldiers here, and they will not be able to go without a wide artery to retreat. And once the back road is cut off, it will be the turtle in the urn of nearly a million, and there is no place to escape, let others handle it.

It's just a pity that it's useless for them to be in a hurry, without the order of the capital's military headquarters, they can't retreat without authorization, otherwise they will be traitors. can only be as restless as ants in a hot pot, while the three generals sent urgent messages back to ask for instructions.

And the reply from the Brando's side is always to wait, wait......

It's not perfunctory, there is indeed a breakthrough on Bran's side. The negotiation teams sent to negotiate with the Gray Army one after another finally got a response that the other side could negotiate. It's just that there are many broken facts in the gray army, the negotiation venue has been changed again and again, and the negotiation time has been postponed again and again...... It's not good for Bran to say anything about this, because the Grey Army has a good reason. That is, in view of Bran's bad record, the gray army does not trust it, so it needs to be cautious, cautious, and cautious!

It's not that no one suspects that this is a delaying ploy by the Greys, but the point is that there is no reason to support it. Because the gray army stopped attacking the last key road after responding to the request for negotiations, no matter how you look at it, it looks very sincere.

It's just that neither the Bran royal court of the warm-water frog nor the main army of the hot-pot ants have noticed that the tribal army, which has been quiet for a few months, seems to be stationing here, has quietly opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp fangs......

Finally, on a normal evening, the army of hundreds of thousands of barbarians tore off their disguises, like a flood of mud and mud, and like an avalanche, roaring and roaring, and rushed towards the three main armies of Bran and nearly a million regular soldiers.

The two sides have been confronting each other for several months, and the preparations that should be made are naturally extraordinarily adequate. It seems that the Horde army has the upper hand, but the Bran Legion is not caught off guard when it is attacked.

According to common sense, the next battle situation between the two sides is nothing more than a continuation of the previous alternative stalemate pattern in which the tribal barbarians had the upper hand and the Bran army fought and retreated.

But the actual situation is not like this, while resisting, while distracting and worrying about the back road is cut off, the Bran army has invisibly committed a taboo and its combat power has been sharply reduced. As soon as Pu came into contact with the tribal army, he didn't even symbolically jump in the waves of resistance, and was instantly pressed to the ground and beaten wildly.

Honestly, they can't be blamed at all.

Even if you want to play a game, you have to be in a hopeless situation. But now there is still a way back, and there is still a glimmer of life hanging, how can this not let them be lucky?

After all, who wants to die if they can live?

In this way, the officers are a little powerless when directing the battle, and they themselves are worried about whether the back road is still there, whether they can retreat safely, and so on

Not to mention the soldiers, the situation is clear to everyone at the moment, and it is a fact that their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the barbarians. Under such a premise, it is obvious which is more important than military merit, military salary, and small life.

Besides, no one from an officer or soldier jumped out of a crack in a stone, and no one had a parent, a child, or something. If they fight again, they will definitely die, so of course, they have to think more about the former......

Miscellaneous thoughts like these are like small snowballs rolling down from the top of a mountain, piling up and gradually getting bigger...... There is no talk of army morale. Even if there are so many generals and regiments of soldiers, they are not afraid of death and are loyal to the glory of the empire. However, in such a general trend, the role that can be played is also very small......

Overnight, the three main army corps suffered heavy casualties and lost countless positions!

And, it has to be said, it turned out that the Bran Legion was lucky.

In the absence of Lan Sha's real-time command, the hundreds of thousands of tribal armies only held on to the tactical requirements from Lan Sha for a while, and then they resumed their previous swarm of bees and rushed without the slightest technical content...... Although the combat effectiveness of this method of warfare is still terrifying, the efficiency is much worse, and it fails to seize most of the opportunities to occupy.

Of course, although there is a slight fly in the ointment, the purpose has been achieved.

During the night, Bran's corps suffered heavy casualties and lost numerous defensive lines. Even more unbearable hits were the soldiers who took advantage of the chaos at night to flee or get separated. and because of this, the panic rumors that spread quickly and could not be stopped......

No matter how strong a fortress is, it can't resist the erosion from the inside out!

Just like the Bran Empire, just like the main army of Bran right now!

This side is the most fatal blow!

Also, the precursor to the collapse -
