Monarch of Evernight: 141 blood-draining battle
bsp;In the history of the empire, it often happened that leading generals supported their own troops and threatened the court with war, but none of them had a good ending.
Even if the imperial capital compromised at the time, it would still find ways to pursue the case afterwards to prevent others from following suit. Now Song Zining is threatening a rebellion for the sake of Qianye, which is really a taboo.
Qianye didn't think that the benefits gained from trading with the empire were important at all. Even if he was as rich as his country, he didn't have as much weight in his heart as people like Zining and Jundu.
If he had known that there would be such consequences, he would have endured this tone and continued trading with the empire. Anyway, before the New World, there was no such thing as the sap of the Holy Tree, so just pretend it never existed.
Eunuch Liu noticed Qianye's worries and unexpectedly expressed relief.
He said that Zi Ning's actions were not necessarily a bad thing. The war situation in the New World is worrying, everyone can see this. Without enough reinforcements, even if Song Zining had earth-shattering talents and timeless wisdom, he could not avoid eventual defeat.
On the front line were not only Song Zining and Zhao Jundu, but also several princes, as well as powerful men with prominent backgrounds such as Wei Potian, who were only one step away from being a **** general.
These people are not fools. Everyone knows that cutting off support is a dead end. Under such circumstances, there are actually people who, for some inexplicable reason, have cut off the supply of sap from the most important sacred tree. Anyone who knows the ins and outs of the matter may mutiny if the imperial capital cannot come up with a reasonable explanation.
So what Song Zining said about the danger of mutiny on the front line is probably true. Of course, whether he was secretly adding fuel to the flames is another matter.
Besides, at least for now, Song Zining's record is brilliant enough. No matter how mediocre Emperor Hao is, he will never do anything to him, not to mention that Emperor Hao is also a man of great talent and strategy.
After hearing Eunuch Liu’s words, Qianye felt relieved. As for how much sacred tree sap should be traded with the empire, there is also a lot of knowledge. It will not work if you give too much, and you will not work if you give less.
Qianye asked for advice humbly, and Eunuch Liu did not hesitate to give his advice. The final trade volume reached was roughly two-thirds of the empire's full pharmaceutical production capacity. In this way, there will be room for maneuver in negotiations without delaying the war.
Only the most elite troops can enter the Black Sun Valley. The elites drawn from many troops in the empire have to undergo another week of special training in Qinlu before they can barely pass the test. No matter how much medicine is produced, there are not that many soldiers. And Qianye himself had to keep some extra money on hand, just in case someone did something wrong again.
In the face of absolute interests, reason and reason will be thrown away, and only the voice of strength can be heard.
With the deal concluded, Eunuch Liu has accomplished a major event. He did not leave immediately, but wandered around the Blue Wave City for a day, taking in all the places, especially the transactions of various tribes. He did not comment. Before leaving, he only called Qianye and quietly left. And go.
Eunuch Liu’s schedule was not kept secret from Qianye, but he seemed to have little interest in the top of the mountains. He did not even go to the partially built training camp to take a look. Instead, he stayed in the trade market all day long. Watch people of different races haggling over prices. He even bought a lot of things, so much that Qianye doubted whether his space equipment could fit it.
Of course Eunuch Liu would not just walk around casually, he must have a purpose, but since he didn't say it, Qianye couldn't guess it.
As soon as Eunuch Liu left, Qianye arranged for a frigate and ordered people from the Yin and Kong families to accompany the ship and transport several boxes of sacred tree sap to the empire for trade.
The **** candidate was very important, so Qianye sent Miss Yin Qiqi to the frigate with half coaxing and half persuasion. From now on, my ears can be much quieter.
Having learned that Song Zining has been winning steadily in the central region, and now that the sap of the Holy Tree on his side can keep up, the situation in the empire will not be much worse. Qianye let go of his worries, then sent William to the Burning Fire Territory to expand territory, and then entered a new world. The development of the new world is not only his own business, but also related to the fate of Zining Jundu, the empire and even the human race.
The existence of Black Sun Valley, for some reason, gave Qianye a strange feeling of familiarity and fear.
Unconsciously, the battle between the Empire and Yongye in the Black Sun Valley has been going on for more than a month.
This time Song Zining changed his previous strategy and set up multiple fortresses step by step. Within ten months, he conducted several fierce fortress offensive and defensive battles. At the same time, Song Zining also sent multiple troops to roam the Black Sun Valley, choosing opportunities to attack the supply line behind Yong Ye.
As a result, the classic mobile battles and annihilation battles that were hearty and hearty enough to be recorded in the history of war are missing. The war has become muddy and heavy, and the number of casualties has skyrocketed. The death lists reported back to the empire every day are thick. There are a lot of soldiers, and there are also many soldiers who have not been reported missing.
This style of play has attracted a lot of criticism.
The casualties in this month have almost caught up with the total number of previous new world developments, and the magical aura that enveloped Song Zining seems to have disappeared. Debris has appeared again in the government and the public, and I would say the same thing when it comes to attacking and defending the fortress.
A few knowledgeable people can see that every time the fortress is attacked and defended, the dark race has an advantage, but the advantage is not big enough to determine the situation of the battle. The advantage makes the dark race unable to give up storming the fortress, and once they attack, they find it too hard to swallow. Even if the fortress was finally captured, the empire gave up on its own initiative, and it was rarely forcibly breached.
Once or twice can be said to be accidental, but it happens again and again, which reflects Song Zining's unimaginable attainments in military strategy and divination. This is a bloodletting tactic. Each fortress is a knife with a blood groove, continuously consuming the elite and backbone of the dark race.
However, the casualties of the imperial soldiers are also shocking. The most heaviest moment of every morning meeting of the military department is to read out the casualty figures of the previous day. Whether they are veterans or young newcomers, they are all overwhelmed by the heavy numbers and are speechless.
In just one month, the empire lost more than 100,000 soldiers. These are all elites and there is no cannon fodder. How can people not be heartbroken when the core force equivalent to two or three legions is reimbursed?
Although the losses of the dark race were nearly three times that of the empire, many people still doubted Song Zining's strategy. It is too cruel and painful for the war to be fought like this. Every new day, countless living lives are destined to turn into corpses, and all they get in exchange are more corpses of their enemies.
Of course things are not going well for the Eternal Night Council, but their troops are still sending a steady stream of troops into the new world, and the empire can only grit its teeth and resist.
Every day that passes, the doubts about Song Zining become louder. Fortunately, everyone is self-aware. Everyone knows that they can't sit in Song Zining's position, so they just question it. Song Zining, on the other hand, turned a deaf ear to all the voices from behind and devoted himself wholeheartedly to wasting away with the dark race.
"One day, the dark race will not be able to bear it anymore, because they are three races, and we only have the human race." Every day, Song Zining repeated this sentence, then put on a cold metal mask and walked onto the battlefield. .
In the dark, heavy, **** battlefield, there are occasionally a few bright colors. Song Zining sent out multiple groups of troops to harass the enemy's rear. Some of them failed, but some of them achieved particularly impressive results.
Among them, Wei Potian is the most eye-catching.
The self-proclaimed Potian Hou’s most classic battle actually accidentally brought his troops to a desperate situation. However, when they were trapped in Gufeng, the Wei family’s troops showed incredible resilience, nearly ten times as strong as The enemy fought fiercely for a whole day and night. Wei Potian even used his own strength to withstand the siege of the five other marquises.
Although he was beaten so hard in the battle that he was basically unable to fight back. He was in a defensive state throughout the whole process and looked extremely dangerous, as if he would be defeated in the next moment.
However, the sword peak pointing straight into the sky above the battlefield always stood firm, giving the Wei family soldiers endless courage to fight to the death with their opponents and repel the attacks of the dark race again and again.
In the end, the five marquis who besieged Wei Potian were the first to lose their strength. No matter how they attacked, Wei Potian's strength was reduced by at least eight points, making it painless and painless.
The Zanpakutō in Wei Potian's hand is also a weapon that scares the dark race. If he is hit by it, it will take almost a week for the wound to heal. In the environment of the new world, it cannot afford to be injured. , maybe a bad non-fatal injury will kill you inexplicably.
Every critical moment, Wei Potian is always ready to back him up. Those marquises are all immortals and have an absolute advantage. Who is willing to accompany this madman to death?
At the end of the **** battle, many human troops suddenly appeared around, and Song Zining even came personally. He commanded the troops to set up another layer of encirclement from the outside, and defeated the Yongye troops surrounding Wei Potian in one fell swoop, killing tens of thousands of enemies.
After this battle, Wei Potian became famous, and the phantom of the sword peak was even recognized as the realm that the Wei family's Thousand Mountains can reach after reaching the level of a **** general: the peaks and mountains are unique.
Before Wei Potian could break through the Divine General Heavenly Pass, he realized the realm behind the Divine General. He received countless praises for a while, and some people even praised him as the third genius in the empire, second only to Zhao Song.
He is a genius, young, and has a prominent family background, so countless people have made plans to get married.
Some people with great supernatural powers even ran directly to the front line and found Wei Potian's head, but this guy looked at a loss at the time: "Proposing marriage? What kind of marriage? Yu Ying has already taken advantage of me, how can I find someone else?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was another uproar, and Zhao Yuying became famous.
It stands to reason that Duke Yan should be furious, but he just said lightly: "Young people, it is inevitable that there will be times when you are impulsive."
To express such a position is to say that the raw rice has been cooked, so be it.
The marriage between the Zhao clan and the Far Eastern Wei Marquis was thus decided. The Zhao family has another strong support in the Far East, and the Wei family can also benefit a lot from the Zhao family. With the financial and material support of the Zhao family, their development in the Far East has become smoother. As for many aristocratic families returning disappointed, that is another matter.
In addition to Wei Potian, many young generals emerged from the empire during this battle, and they all fell into the eyes of major aristocratic families. They only waited for the war to end before proposing marriage.
Of course, during the war, no one would do this, firstly so as not to disrupt the morale of the military, and secondly, naturally, to see who can survive until the end of the war.
With the accumulation of corpses on the battlefield, the balance of victory seemed to be slowly tilting towards the empire, but in Song Zining's eyes, this was not enough. rw
